Fayorite Actor Pleased Large Aud
fence in "MacushIa" Last Night

Chauncey Olcott, always popular
with a Bennington audience, pleased
a capacity house at the opera house
Thursday evening, when he appeared
In his new play "Macushla.'
AS Sir Brian Fitzgerald, Mr., Olcott
displayed his usual charm and ease
of manner and played the role OF the
poverty striker Irish gentleman OF
the nineteenth century, as only Mr..
Olcott can. "Macushla" the scene OF
which is laid in County Kildare, Ire
land is one OF the most pleasing pro-
auctions, in which Mr. Olcott has
appeared in the many years he has
been portraying the care free, lovable
Irishman, with his natural wit and
grace.
Mr. Olcott's songs are always a
feature of his performances and the
ballads he sang last evening were
I'D to those of former years and
adapted to his wide range of voice.
"The Girl Call My Sweetheart Must
Lock Like You" was an especially
catchy ballad, full of Gentle senti-
ment.
Mr.. Olcott was supported by a well
selected cast. Miss Katherine Claren
don as pretty Patricia Boyer, acting
the part of the saucy and altogether
bewitching Irish hoyden, was espec
tally clever AS madcap Pat she
intermingled occasional snatches oil
delightful femininity with natura
boyishness, that added charm to hel
difficult role,
Robert v Ferguson, as Sandy Nc
Nabb. the canny Scotchman, and Jen
ME Lamont as Mrs. Boyer brough
out the funny possibilities in thu
characters they represented. Ann
t Boyers quick sallies were too mucl

= Olcott appeared at his best as the e'
+ ponent OF gentleman of that race
4 that is famous in song and story fc
e its wit and happy heartedness.

Clashes Between State Police and
Miners Who Are Well Supplied

Wilkesbarre, Penn, May 9.-Riot-
ing among the miners of this section
started this morning, and series of
four outbreaks marred the peace OF
what has heretofore been one OF the
quiet spots of the anthracite field.
At the East Boston colliery OF w.
G, Paine, at Luzerne, a mob OF 600
men. women, and boys took possess
ion of the road leading to the shaft,
drove men on their way to work back
to their homes, and before dispensing
violently beat John Hiddock, one OF
the laborers, for refusing to comply
with the order.
At the nottingham colliery Of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany, at Plymouth, another large
mob of men and boys gathered at the
entrance and turned back the engi@
neers, hremen, and pumpmen who
have the unions consent to do repair
work. At the Delaware colliery OF
the Delaware and Hudson Company,
at Hudson several hundred men,
boys and women collected and drove
back all those who started for their

Scranton district men and boys arm
ed themselves with clubs and stones
and took their position on the road
leading to the colliery They held VI
the men who appeared for work and
informed them that they would not be
permitted to labor today. John Ian

order, and the mob led him TO the

him in, pelting him with clubs anC

CATARRH M|SER|ES
ENDED FOREVER

The quickest, safest and best way
to cure catarrh is by using remedy
that will touch the spot and do its
work quickly without leaving any bad
effects Eiys Cream Balm, which
is applied to the nostrils or rubbed on
the throat or chest, gets right at the
root of the trouble, and instantly re
leves even the worst case of catarrh.
In a few minutes after applied, you
can feel a loosening up in the head,
the pain and soreness are gone, the
sense of taste, smell and hearing come
back, and you feel like different per-
son.
Ely's Cream Balm cleanses, heals
and strengthens the inflamed men,
branes, stops the nasty discharge
which makes the breath foul and
causes the disgusting hawking, spit
ting and blowing. Hay fever victims
who are made miserable with fits OF
sneezing and coughing get instant re-
lief by the use of this simple rem.
! edy.
Don't suffer with catarrh another
day. Ely's Cream Balm will relieve

tie will more than likely effect a
complete cure, All druggists sell it.

CONVENTION SIDELIGHTS.
Q = . . . q . . . . . . . =

Baltimore, Nd, June 27.-Perched
among the gallery guests among the
thousands of the convention was a
rooster. Il real gameeock, but despite
his undisputed pedigree he would not
crow. His guardian, who had antici-
pated some fun, grew melancholy as
the minutes slipped by and the feath-
cred emblem of democracy steadfast-
ly maintained his silence
The guardian resorted to every
method of solicitation but all to no
avail. 1t sat with head down and
tail drooped, but refused to crow.
Tomorrow he will be accompanied by
a feathered friend in an effort to
break his silence.
Parker FLASHED in Act.
Sergeant at Arms Martin was
searching the press reservation today
for bold newspaper photographer
who created a diversion in the mid
die OF Judge Parker's speech. The
snapshot man rigged up his camera
on the desk of one of the secretaries
about ten feet from the temporary
chairman, and then, standing a short
distance from the speaker he sud-
denly fired flash.
The binding glare so startled Park
er that he lost the thread of his dis
course. There was an instant rush OF
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-06-27

deputies to find the photographer, but
he grabbed his camera and fled.
No Counterfeit Tickets.
The most remarkable thing in con-
nection with the convention so far is
that no one apparently has tried to
counterfeit the admission tickets.
Chicago convention visitors were be-
set with sharpers selling spurious
pasteboards, and joke passes" but
the democratic admission cards are
the most ornately engraved that have
yet been in use at a convention, and
the police have yet to find any imita-
tions.
Brokers' prices today for tickets
were So. They have been charging
SIS, but with few takers
Show Tickets for Elevator.
You have to show a ticket to get
aboard the elevators at the Emerson
! hotel during the rush hours. More
over, the management has partitioned
off the lifts so that one has to stand
! in line to get aboard. Only guests
who produce credentials from the ho-
tel desk are permitted on three of
the four elevators.
Once more is Colonel John I. Mar
tin, perpetual sergeant at arms for
democratic convention, in his glory.
Nobody can ever hope to equal the
eclat with which Martin holds down
his job, or, which is more to the point,
with more efficiency.
Today Colonel Martin had his hands
full. 1t was hot and the colonel is
a fussy person who perspires freely.
In the middle of the session it was
observed that the sergeant at arms
had used four handkerchiefs mopping
his fevered brow All four were care
fully hung out to dry on the railing
that boxes off Martin from the rest
of the stage.
