A CROWDED HOUSE.

The all-star company from Bonnie
Terre, assisted by one of our own
special stars, John Doughty, gave
"What Happened to Jones" last
Thursday evening before the most
crowded house probably ever gath
cred in the Opera House, standing
room even being at n premium
The play was fun of laugh-produc-
ing incidents from start to finish
and the company deserves all the
good things said about ii, Fcrdi-
nnnd Fnrlcy in the leading role of
Jones' book agent and alI-rOuud
sport, displayed n talent, BRIGHTNESS
and naturalncss that would have
done credit to II professional com
median, and Mr.. Doughty as "Prof.
Ebenezer Cooley" IA college pro-
lessor, whose latent love of sport in
IA weak moment overcame his quiet
dignity and accustomed decorum to
the extent of getting himself aud
household into peck of trouble
and confusion, accustomed the com.
ment that he could well take the
place left vacant by Denman Thomp-
son and James Hearn. Mrs. NJ. J.
Walsh as Prof. Goodley's wife,
Mrs. J J. Bowman AS her old maid
sister, Miss Mabel Jones as
"Cissy,' adopted into the house
hold and wise beyond her years,
and Miss Pearl n. Rosenthal as
"Helma," the Dutch maid, were
the stars of the femenine role OF
the play, each bringing out the best
OF the character portrayed and max
ing II decided hit. Miss Claire
Evans as "Marjorien and Miss
Deggendorf az Minerva" the Pro-
fesser's daughters, although minor
parts, made the best Of them. MIR.
Bowman as REV. Anthony Good
ley" the Professors brother from
Australia, who was in love with
the old maid sister, Mr.. Iost as mn
escaped lunatic, w. T. Wheeling as
II policeman and Orrick Whitehead
rs IA sport and lover of "Marjorie"
were all good. Indeed the whole
east was unusually well made up,
the acting throughout far better
than the average amateur effort.
The Symphony Orchestra, con-
Quoted by MIR. Girard :. Parsons,
came in for II big share of deserved
applause and gracefully responded
to enthusiastic encores. Two of
Farmington's violinists, Prof. Hugh
Porter and Paul Jones, occupied
prominent places in the orchestra.
The financial result was gratifying
to those who had ii In charge. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Parsons will
bring his orchestra here soon for
concert, and he will be sure of an
appreciative audience.

TllE Democratic members o
- the Legislature perhaps are
not to be rensured for being
lncensed at the pcrniclous activity
Of State Game Warden TOlertOn in
politics. An investigation into
BIS administration disclosed con.
yiucing evidence that he aud his
big array of deputy game war
dens were much more interested
IN boosting the Republican party
than IN enforcing the game laws
and prOpagatlng new species of
game. and that the expenses of
their political movements were
Jumped III with those of their al.
legged official duties aud paid by
the State. But we doubt the wis
dom of the way in which the Dem
ocratic solOns proceeded TO disap-
prove of his conduct. The pIac.
ing of rider on the 500, 900 ap.
preparation for game protection
purposes providing that it would
not be available while T0lerton
was game warden, was equivalent
to serving notice on the Governor
that he must remove one of the pet
members of his diligently con.
structed party machine, which he
was bound to resent however fla.
grant his appointee's pernlciOus
Rctivity-the more pernicious the
more gratifying to Il machine ar.
chitect like Governor Hadley. A
better way would have been to re.
construct the whole game protec-
ZION and dollhouse game propaga-
ton business.
The game laws could he as etfec-
tually looked after and enforced by
the county officials, just as they
look after other violations of the
law. and thus do away with an
army of deputy wardens appointed
with more regard for their efiicien-
cy as party workers than for use
!ulness in protecting game. Then
they should have put out of com
mission that tooliShIy extravagant
hOt.bed game propagation farm, in
which Game Warden Tolerton
takes so much pride and for which
he claims great credit. 1t is OPP

Mr.. Bryans movements about
the country are not heraIded by
any fanfare of trumpets to attract
attention, but his hold on the
hearts of the people is so strong
and their admiration for him so
great that, however quiet his move
ments, larger crowds greet him
than any other American, private
or official. He delivered a lecture
in Chicago on the 9th under the
auspices of the Chicago Sunday
evening Club on the subject, The
Fact of Christ" So great was the
crowd that struggled to gain en-
trance to Orchestra Hall, where he
spoke, a number of women tainted

out to refuse admission to any
more, and the policemen had to
fight back the crowd. The hall
was densely packed with three hun.
dred seats on the stage occupied.
