Maude Adams is TO Present at
Fairmont Soon Briefly
Described.

Under the auspices Of the Woman i
Club, Miss Maude Adams will appear
in Rostand's much discussed poetic
drama "Chartecler" at the Grand
opera house. Fairmont, on the even
ing OF February IL. The play is an
absorbing mixture of interesting and
picturesque novelty with its gigantic
scenery and fantastic animal costumes,
with its penetrating satire on the
extra5agances of modern life, with
its powerful and obvious symbolism
and rich verse.
As almost everyone knows the
scene OF this production is laid in a
barnyard, and the persons on the
stage are fowls always found in barn
yards following out their little dcs-
TIMES between the wheels Of cart
or before a dog kennel. In such
surroundings Chantecler stands as
the typical egotist-young, ardent, in
experienced-who imagines that the
world cannot progress without him.
At the height OF his self-conffdence he
falls in love with a charmer, who,
catering to his vanity, establishes
her dominion over him until she
leads him to betray his cherished
secret, his faith that his call alone
brings each mornings sun to the
world. This disclosure prepares the
way for the shock of most painful
establishment. Slowly he discovers
that he is not the idol of the universe.
that his high courage avails little
against the trained skill OF an enemy
and even, without his call, the sun
appears as usual His experience
shakes his faith in himself and in
his work. But at the end he per-
ceiyes that his chosen mission, though
not so all important as he thought
it, Is yet honorable and beneficient
and that, if he cannot make the sun
rise, he may, at least, arouse the
sleeping world from its slumbers.
Such is the theme in which Rostand,
with unanalyzable charm, philosophy
and fantastic eloquence, expresses in
poetic form his wish for the simple
and genuine in modern life. He has
merged the truth of nature into the
reliance of his cause. He has created
symbolism that is an obvious plat
form on which to set forth creed of
great elevation a plot with sufficient
action to hold always the interest aud
suspense. Therefore the result is a
supu-b medium in which Miss Adams
may say finally that she had long
been struggling to express, say II
with intellectual understanding with
an exultant distinction, with the fire
of life.
Throughout the first act she is
brilliant in the serenity OF triumphant
pride, rising to her greatest height
when she speaks the radiant hymn to
the sun. In the second act she is
filled with vibrating sesitiveness,
spirit of brave, despite the frailty
of the body, burning with poetic fire,
singing not from vanity or pride but
because 1t is the command of the very
soul that the song be uttered. In the
third act she brings forth all of her
irresistible pathos. In the last she
becomes the essence of valiant SOU
struggling with the disilluslonment
of the world. ready to take up the
task and in no matter how humble
its sphere, to find beauty there.

BLUEFIELD. Jan. 15-while DR..
H. D. Hatfield was in the city be-
tween trains Friday he was inter
viewed by a reporter who put the
following questions:
doctor, what methods should be
pursued in order to insure Republic
can success this Year,"
The doctor replied: "The people
of West Virginia, those who know
me, must now feel that positively
have no political aspirations. There
may be some people who will mis-
construe this statement, and, posi-
bly, accuse me of taking this method
of advertising myself. but. neverthe-
less, it is absolutely and unquall-
fiedly true. My profession is the
practice of medicine and surgery.
am wrapped up in 1t, devote most OF
my time to it, and have been fairly
successful. Ely career in politics
has been more or less a happening,
but having developed in me a strong
sense of right and justice between
man and man, and being firm be-
lever in the old axiom that every
thing you do is worth doing we'll,
have, SO my constituents say, been
fairly successful in the political
positions have held.
'iBut coming back to this direct
question, namely: What method
should be pursued in order to insure
Republican success this year. my
answer is that this year, of all years,
the office should seek the man !
have absolutely no personal ambition
to be governor of this state. Figured
from a peculiarly personal stand
point, 1t will be a hardship upon me.
But l am vitality interested in the
success of the Republican party. /
am a native West Virginian, and
have always been a Republican.
believe in its principles, and am
willing to make any personal sacrifice
to insure the party's success.
"A bitter primary will undoubtedly
foreshadow an election calamity.
1t must be avoided. I am cognizant
of the fact, that a statewide pri-
mary was called. This affords every
man the opportunity to enter the
race for the nomination for governor
who desires so to do. Speaking for
myself, II the rank and file of the
party feel that my name at the head
OF the party ticket will insure sue
cess to the party in the coming cleo
ton, then | will reluctantly make
the sacrifice, and If l decide to do
that, then l wish to repeat, that
everything you do is worth doing
we'll. In line with this fixed rule
! will throw my whole heart into the
campaign. and when elected gov
ernor of this great state, l will give
to 1t my best ability, and be gov
ernor in every sense of the word
of the people and for the
people-of West Virginia. Or
the other hand, If the rani
and file indicate to me at an!
time that my candidacy will put
load upon the party, l will positivel,
have no regret, and will be more
than glad to remain in the ranks

| have used up their time, or their sta
/ tiCnery 10 ask these questions. Had
Denver given the mighty man from
! Sycamore, the magazine hero Of San
Juan hill and the moving picture lion
gers a large and juicy majority, then
the primary OF the CITY of the Rock
les would have been on the dead
square and the voters of said city
would have been intelligent voters,
properly allowed to avail themselves
OF the free mans privilege of fran
chise.' But, when the choice Of the
Denverites fell upon the one for
when four short years ago Col Roo
seyelt said 50 much-then they are
the victims Of fraud and corruption
and have been either bought up or
driven by the whip of the political
bosses.
Tar said of Roosevelt a short
time ago that he was a man who
liked the rough and tumble life of the
frontier. that he would live in the at
mosphere of the pioneer and be of
those who blazed the way for a more
advanced civilization to follow. Taft
was wrong. Roosevelt lacks two of
the great essentials of the hard pio-
neer. the man who wrested the "glo-
rious west frou the wilderness and
made the desert to blossom as the
rose" These two great essentials
are consistency and truth. No hardy
sons Of the nation builders Of the
west have ever been known to be-
come bright and shining members of
the Ananias society and remain very
long honored members of the society |
IF even western barrooms and dance /
less of reputable Cow
Dunchers."
The fact of the matter is that the /
people of the west are, as a rule, a |
truthful people and when Col. Roose-
yelt said repeatedly that under no /
would he become again |
a candidate for the office of presi- |
dent of this country, they thought /
he was telling the trnth-and now /.
they are going to do the uttermost, |
by their votes, to see that he did |
tell the truth. The reputation of the
nation for truth and veracity must be !
and Col. Roosevelt must
be saved from himself.

New possibilities in medicine have

current OF 100000 volts tried by DAT.
