BABY MINE.

"Baby Nine" Margaret Mayo's laugh
play, which ran for one solid year in
New York at Days theater, comes to
the Everett theater Sunday night, De-
tober 6.
AS a laugh producer "Baby Mine" is
said to be the greatest success the stage
has ever known. The play, unique in
origin and mission, fulfills the part it
sets out to, as an instrument of roaring
comedy.
"Baby Mine" tells simple story of a
young wife whose propensity for fib-
bling finally drives her husband to an
other city, from which place he is coaxed
back by the story of a baby in the house.
The skill with which the complications
are said to be handled, and the farcial
humor and rapidity of the development
are all features which form the success
of this delightful comedy.
The presentation of ''Baby Mine" will
be peculiarly interesting because 1t
brings the well-known players who have
been identified only with the long runs
in New York and Chicago.

PRISON LABOR PROBLEM.
Governor Of Missouri Would Employ
Convicts on State Roads.

Governor OF Missouri Would Employ
Convicts on State Roads.
Charles Rick, a St. Louis manufac-
turcr, has made proposition to War
den Andrae and the state board OF
prison inspectors to employ every able
bodied convict in the state penitentiary
at the work of extracting aluminium
from Missouri clay.
Existing contracts at the penitentiary
expire early next year, and after that
state law prohibits the contract system
of convict labor. Mr.. Rick says he will
want no contract Of any kind, but will
agree to employ every convict In the
penitentiary able to work. at prices
which may be agreed upon.
There is a serious doubt whether II
his terms seemed attractive that the
board of prison inspectors could hire
the convicts to him. The law abolish
ing the convict system of convict labor
provides the men shall be employed by
the state or its political subdivision.
What will be done with the convicts
facturers operating plants at the peni-
Tertiary is one which is troubling the
governor and prison board. There are
approximately 2,400 men In the peni-
Tertiary, and these must be kept en-
ployed for their own good. How the
state is to keep them at profitable la
Dor is the problem which is confront
ing it.
The convicts by their labor under the
contract system earn approximately
$4,000 a month. This is almost enough
to feed and clothe the inmates. This
source of revenue will be cut Off with
the expiration of the present contracts.
The governor hopes to solve the con-
Wet labor problem by working them
upon the public roads of the state. The
experiment has been tried in Cole coun-
ty with complete success, but upon q
small scale. He will recommend to the
legislature an amendment to the law
enabling a greater number than 300 to
be employed at public road work in the
several counties.
With the abandonment of the con-
tract system the state confronted itself
with the proposition Of supporting the
penitentiary largely by appropriations
1t is generally conceded that the insti'
tuition will not be as nearly self sus
tanning with the convicts in the EN-
ploy Of the state as under the contract
system.
But Governor Hadley contends that
It is nothing to the credit of Missouri
that her penitentiary be self sustaining
He believes penal institutions should
be run for the reformation Of men and
women rather than for the earning OF
money.

UNCLE JOSH PERKINS.

sUncle Josh Perkins" described as a
rural comedy drama in four acts with
locales in New York and Vermont, is
booked for a return engagement of two
performances, Saturday matinee and
evening, October 5, at the Everett thea
ter. This play is play which has out
lived in popularity all other offerings
of its kind. With its attractive ro-
nance. clever drama, wholesome comedy
and interesting story, "Uncle Josh Per
kins" has come to be recognized as the
true exponent of New England. The
title role is probably the best known OF
its type in the American theater of to-
dav. No more lovabe character than
Uncle Josh has been visualized and even
though he has emenated from the play
wright's creative ability, the story in
which Uncle Josh is the central figure
teens with human interest and good
philosophy. In addition to the attract
iyeness of "Uncle Josh Perkins as a
play, and to the fact that this season
the entire company comprises list OF
capable actors, number of entertain
ing new specialties are introduced to en-
nance an already popular successful of
fering.

tune Ryan took the witness stand be-
fore the senate committee Investigate
ing campaign contributions Monday
and testified that he contributed
S450,0G0 to the Democratic war
chest" of 1904, 100000 of it after he
knew beyond doubt that Alton B.
Parker could not be elected.
Every dollar of the $450,000 was
contributed by himself, Ryan said,
and none of it came from any cor
poration or other interest He de-
clared he gave the additional 100000
because the Democratic party was in
debt and he wanted to see those debts
paid.
The witness said he contributed
nothing to the 1903 campaign fund
because he was in Europe at the
time. Coming down to the present,
he told of having aided Harmon and
Underwood in various amounts, and
said he would have helped Wilson and
Clark had he been asked to do so. In
fact, he said, he would have helped
any man except Bryan, because he
did not think Bryan could win
