WILL MAKE BRYAN THEIR HOME.

Dr. and Mrs. Charles Richardson of
Somerville will arrive in Bryan during
the coming week and will make this
city their home in future. II is said
that the best way to ascertain the
worth of any individual is to learn the
estimation in which they are held by
their home people, and if this be true,
and there is no reason to doubt it,
then Bryan is indeed fortunate in Sc
curing DR.. and Mrs Richardson to
be included in its citizenship. They
come to Bryan with the unqualified
endorsement of the people of their
home town, who are in a position
to know them, and who do not hest
tate to state that they are the highest
type of Christian citizenship. Both
are members of the Baptist Church
and are active workers in all church
and social affairs. DR.. Richardson is
a prominent Mason, and is said to be
a splendid physician. His office will
be at Jenkins drug store.

ONLY FIVE MORE NEEDED.

Thirty-one States have ratified the
proposed Constitutional amendment
providing for the direct election of
Senators. The Washington correspond.
ent for the Philadelphia North Ameri.
can gives these States as follows:
New York, North Carolina, Minnesota.
Massachusetts, Arizona, Michigan,
Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada,
Washington, Texas, Montana, Wyom-
ing, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Yer.
mont, New Hampshire, South Dakota,
Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Maine, West
virginia, Arkansas, Iowa, California,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, North Dakota.
1t is evident that this amendment
will be adopted so quickly as to break
the record for the adoption of Consti.
tutional amendments. The House of
Representatives on four occasions
adopted resolution submitting this
amendment but in each instance it
was defeated by the Senate. The re.
form so grew in popular favor that
the Senate finally yielded and the
amendment was submitted by the last
Congress.
Mr.. Bryan is among those who feel
particularly gratifed by the prospect
i've success of the reform for which
Democrats have so long and persist
emily fought
There will be strong rivalry for the
honor of being the thirty-sixth State
to ratify this amendment. But every
State voting favorably will have an
honor all it's own. Indeed, the result
will be so glorious that there will be
honor for every State and for every
individual that has helped to bring
about this important work.-Bryan's

Edmund Kean as Richard.

It Is impossible to form a higher con-
ception of Richard Ill. than that given
by Kean. Never was character repre-
scented by greater dlstinctness and pre-
cisIon and perfectly articulated in ev-
cry part. II Kean did not succeed In
concentrating all the lines Of the char
acter he gave vigor and relief to the
part which we have never seen sur
passed. He was more refined than
Cooke, holder and more original than
Kemble The scene with Lady Anne
was an admirable specimen Of bold
and smiling duplicity. Willy adulation
was firmly marked by his eye. and he
appeared like the first tempter in the
garden. Kean's attitude in leaning
against the pillar was one OF the most
graceful and striking positions ever
witnessed II would serve as a model
for Titan. Raphael or Salvador Rosa.
Tone was a quality which Kean pos
sessed over every other actor that ever
appeared Many have attempted his
style. and all have most egregiously
failed.-William Hazlitt
