The Performance by VogePs MinstreIs.

Vogers minstrel show attracted two
fair sized audiences Saturday and both
performances We're pleasing, although
not sufficiently brilliant to make the
troupe stand out more conspicuously
than some of the other Ministries that
visit Brattleboro. The setting of the
first part, designated the ,"radum pal
ace" by reason of thousands of re-
splendent crystal beads hanging at the
back and sides of the stage, made a very
pretty effect. The jokes were good but
the singing was the least satisfactory
feature Ed Oliver and Carl Holman
made a hit with their dancing. The sec
ond part consisted of much enjoyed
orchestral number, an exhibition of slack
wire balancing and comedy juggling by
George c. LaFurroo, a monologue by
Harley Morton, one of the premier ends,
mirth and musical novelties by Ed Hays,
premier end. dancing and dialogue by
James Conroy and Justin Mccarthy, the
African dodgers, and an operate eXtrav-
aganZa, THE Enchanted Grotto," intro
ducng Charles Cameron as Faust" and
Harry Toledo as "Mephisto." The cleo
fashioned after the first act of the
opera Faust" was particularly fine and
the contortionist work by Mr.. Cameron
emphasized his fitness for acting the part
of "Mephisto."
1t isn't absolutely necessary for fast
friends to travel at rapid pace.

RABBI FLEIscHER TO SPEAK.
His subject Before the Woman's Club
Next Wednesday In the Centre Church
VIII BE "Democracy."

NEXT wednesday w tHe CeHtTe OHuTCH
VIII BE democracy"
Rabbi Charles Fleischer of Boston will
speak on Democracy" at the next meet
ing of the Womans club in the Centre
church at s O'Clock Wednesday evening
The meeting will be open to the public
upon the payment of small fee.s A
Brattleboro friend of DIR. Fleischer has
written the following regarding HIM
Rabbi Charles Fleischer is one of the
rare products of liberal Judaism. For a
number of years, as Rabbi of Temple
Israel in Boston, he has spoken Sunday
mornings to lay congregations in which
the non-Jews much outnumbered the
Jews. Resigning his official position as
Rabbi to the synagogue because of nee
essary restraint on the utter frankness of
speech which seems native to him, he
has already gathered another great con-
gregation in a downtown theatre for
what he calls the Sunday Commons.
Deeply religious in spirit, thoroughly ac-
cepting the modern age and its new
knowledge, keenly alive to all the So
cial and economic problems that beset the
times, he has chosen to give himself to
an Independent leadership, facing toward
the new order. That order he believes to
be altogether democratic. Indeed his
faith in an enlightened and ennobled
democracy is the corner stone of his reli-
gion. 1t has become the passion of his
life to kindle and enfiame a like faith in
his fellow citizens of both sexes. In
principle and feeling and choice of a life
mission Dr. Fleischer is a moving en-
bodment of what is sometimes called
fundamental democracy. To the reason
ableness of this democratic creed Is add
ed the charm of an interesting person.
ality, a melodious voice, rare command
of felicitious English and the persua-
sive powers of genuine master of as
semblies. His coming to Brattleboro to
speak on his favorite theme of "Democ-
racy' is likely to be the event of this
winter to those who are permitted to
hear him, for he joins to an intense
passion for humanity, the vigor of an
independent thinker and the fascination
of a highly gifted public speaker. 1t is
fortunate that the management of the
Woman's club has arranged for his lee
ture to be given in the larger audience
room and has thrown open the privil-
eye Of the guest tickets to all"

Refuses to Request Recon sideration of Indianan's
 Resignation
'GROOMS SUPPORTERS
Nominee Will Make Known His Wishes Concerning Conducting of Cam
 paign in Plain Terms.

Sea Girt, N. J., July 11.-Woodrow Wilson vetoed the plan of an Indiana delegation that came here today to get him to request Boss Thomas Taggart of that state to reconsider his resigna ton as member of the Democratic National Committee.
 The Taggart representatives inform ed the correspondence and the Will son secretaries of their mission as soon as they had alighted from the automobile and before reaching the presence of the candidate had learned that it woudl be useless to urge their request.
 After having conferred during the day with six members of the National Committee and other prominent poli- ticians who in all represented twelve states of the union, the candidate to- night locked the doors of his office and began the work of drafting into writing the wishes concerning the or ganiZation of the campaign.
 Judge Robert s. Hudspeth, national committeeman from New Jersey, will be the bearer of the most interesting document to Chicago, where the com mittee will meeting next Monday.
 The governor would not say tonight whether his wishes which all have agreed to abide by would be delivered to the committee in the form ofaaflet- ter or not. It is known, however, that every detail is being written out in order that the messengers may make no mistake.
 The instructions deal directly with the appointment of campaign man. ager, campaign funds and general or ganization of the National Committee. No secret is made of the fact that Will liam F. McCombs, is the candidates choice for the national chairmanship. Governor Wilson will oppose the ap- pointment of campaign committee which will have-an independent chair man, thus avoiding a clash such as existed in the Parker campaign be- tween Thomas J. Taggart and William F. Sheehan. !
 It is certain. that the candidate will ask to have immediate supervision of the raising of funds with which to conduct the fight. An indication of his wishes in this direction was given out tonight.
 Speaker Champ Clark telegraphed from Washington that he would come to Sea Girt Saturday afternoon. Gov ernor Wilson is much pleased over this prospective visit.

occurred, both men using pistols, ac- cor1ing to the reports of the affair made soon after it happened, win the result that both were seriously wounded. Sergeant Campbell died the following evening. Dutch" Jones has apparently recovered, but still has three bullets i'll ais chest.
 The indictment was returned against him in May, a few weeks af- ter the death of Sergeant Campbell. It is understood that the plea will be self-defense. A host of witnesses have been summoned. It is expected that the taking of evidence will take up considerable time as every delail of the affair will be fought acord- ing to indications from the start.

MORE HoNORS FOR
 THE AMERICANS Ralph Rose Wins Over Nc Donald in Shot Put

BABCOCK IS A WINNER
In Pole Vault Rut Fails to Break Re. cOrd-..U. s. Team Will Play
 Baseball Monday.

Stokholm, July 1l--It was our most successful day of the Olymplad so far as points are concerned.
 The roofing gallery recovered from yesterdays silence early in the day when Ralph Rose came into his own by defeating Pat Mcdonald in tie both-hand shot put
 All the successes of the day came however, withcut the slightest sen sati'on.
 At the close of the day after the three banners had ascended the poles, denoting that the Americans had fin. ished one, two, three, in the pole vault, we expected excitement when Babcock, the winner, tried to beat the worlds reccrd made at tae liar yard stadium by Wright whom he had just defeated few minutes pre- viously. It. was likely that he would have done it to for he was keyed up to high pitch, but the officials wasted so much time in deciding the attempt that he had st;ffened up and did not succeed.
 Although there was no Swede in the event after Uggla retired, half of the people in the stadium remained until Babcock put on his sweater and started off the field, so great is the interest of the crowd in every thing the, Americans do.
 Craig ran the same brilliant race in the 300 metres as he did in the hundred metres and the semi-finals of the hurdles.
 It appears impossible that we should lose any event tomorrow.
 Next Monday Stockholm is to have real American baseball game. Two teams have been picked out from the athletes, one representing the west and the other the east. Manager Malpin will act as umpire. In the af- ternoon' the winner of the morning game will play team composed of Swedes and caught by former Swedish American, which will be umpired by George Wright, the fam Ous old player of the Philadelphia team.

 Charles Haycock was recent wis itor to Monticello and said ne was also agreeably surprised to note the big circulation that the Graphic had at that place.
 At Camden, during the recent Re- publican and Democratic conventions, the Graphic brought the news hours ahead of any other paper and they were used oh bulletin boards there for persons who wanted to find out something of the proceedings at Chi cago and Baltimore.
 John R. Hampton, of the A. B. Banks Company at Fordyce, while here on a recent visit said that the people of his town appreciate the Graphic and look on it as one of the best papers coming there. He said the Graphic s account of the recent floods in this section was better than that of any other Arkansas paper.
 B. F. Halpin, manager of the Stout Lumber Company, at Thornton, said he had no idea that the Graphic would prove so interesting and valuable to them, for they get all of the news out of it that comes with the Little Rock and Memphis papers. He says more Graphics are read at Thornton and Hampton than all other dalies con- bined

Transfer Inconvenience to Be Eliminated By Other
 Improvements.
PARALLEL TRACK
Will Be Laid on Main Street Which Will Do Away With Transfers,
 Says President Bridges.

"We expect to have the street car line in such shape by fall as to elimi- nate all complaints TOW being made in regard to the inconvenience of transferr ng" s2id President F. G.. Bridges, president of the Pine Bluff Company, owners of the street car system In regard to the building of a loop around Baraque street. MT. Bridges stated that the engineers of the firm had gone into the ma. ter and recommended that the project was entirely too costly, not in the mat .er of laying the necessary track but in the operation of the cars the addit onal distance.
 While the loop project has been dismissed We have a plan which we think will give patrons through ser vice to all points on BarTaque street, continued Mir. Bridges. "The double tracking Of Main street from Sixth to Second avenue has been d.finite'y settled and the schedule will be so arranged that cars from the busiest lines will be run up Second avenue thereby oDviating the necessity fos a transfer at Second avenue and Main street, and at the same time taking the passengers within one block O any Barraque street point without delay.
 For the present, as least, no cx tension or loop IS contemplated. Tht program of improvement mapped GU soon after the present owners as sumed control will be carried out an, it is our purpose to give the best ser vice possible. The work of laylnI new and heavier rails will bsgi shortly. We are looking for the frs consignment of new steel daily an upon it's arrival force of men wi be put to work re-laying the Ceme terry line in order not to delay tn paving of Pullen street. Work o other lines will follow as rapidly 2 possible
 Another rumar in connect on wit improvements of the system was .tt building Of loop which would taE the cars around Second avenue, Pine and south on Pine to Sixt This was denied by Mr. Bridges.
