Miss Roehm is one of the lending opponents of physical culture for women and quite noted authority on the subject.

 All ladies who attend the matinee Friday will be invited to remain for the lecture, and all men will be in- vited to leave the theatre, including the stage hands, orchestra. ushers and other men employed about the house.

WOODMEN PRESENT
 KENTUCKY BELLE

A fair-sized audience was present last night at the Jefferson theatre when the comedy drama, "A Kentucky Belle' was presented by local talent. A number of specialties were introduced between the acts. That of Miss Sadie Borum and James K. Stewart in one of Harry Laud- CTS songs in full Highland costume was probably the most appreciated. Other specialties of merit were the song, ''The Little Gray Home in the Vest" by Miss Ireen Cox; Chesapeake Bay" by Miss Mary O'Donnell. and beauty chorus song by Harry Savage. and the dancing of Master Robert Board. The performance was under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World, and feature was the drill of the ax'' by crack squads of the several companies of the district.
 The play was well presented by a very able cast. Miss Elsie Mosely, Mrs. H. A. Elkourie, w. T. Nall and Frank Wilker son carried away the honors The rest of the company were very acceptable. The regimental band of the uniform rank gave several selections that added to the pleasure of the performance.

WILLIAM SULz FER
 APPEARS BEATEN Late Returns Give Daven- port Lead-Other Elec-
 ti0n Results

New York, September 29-Upstate re- turns late tonight swung James w Wadsworth. Jr into the lead over Will
 liam M. Calder in the race for the re-
 publican nomination for United States senator
 Virtually complete returns from Great CT New York and 25s2 out of s17S districts upstate show these figures:
 Wadsworth 75.157. Calder 74,s19, Hill %, 371.
 This gives Wadsworth plurality over Calder of 3Ss. As Wadsworth was ex- pected to draw his chief strength from upstate his friends insist that returns from approximately 800 remaining dis triets will increase his plurality mate l rialy.
 frederick M. Davenport continued to increase his plurality over former Gov ernor William sulzer for the progressive gubernatorial nomination.
 New York, September 2s.-with about two-thfrds of the upstate and Practically all of the New York re- turns In, it appeared tonight that James w. Wadsworth. Jr. had won the Republican nomination for United States senator over William McAllier and that Frederick M Davenport had defeated former Gov. William Sulzer for the progressive gubernatorial norn- nation. Governor Glynn, District At torney Whitman and Ambassador Ger, ard continued to add to their plural fties upstate for the democratic and republican gubernatorial and demo- cratic senatorial nominations respect lively. With a majority of almost 1oo.- ooo already established it appears that Governor Glynn would finish probably l25,eo2 votes ahead. Whitman's plur- aHty probably will be between 50, 900 and 70,o0o and Gerard's 75.000.
 A persistent report is current that John H. Hennessy will make an in dependent race for governor despite of his defeat by Governor Glynn. Hen nsssy has not committed himself on this rumor.
 Returns on republican candidates for United States senator. with New York virtually complete and 24s2 out of 3173 districts upstate. give wadsworth TO- SIP, Calder 66,755. Hill 2s.921
 New York city virtually complete and 2174 upstate districts give Davenport 14,534 and Su1zer 12,397
 Both Sulzer and Calder still were hopeful tonight
 Predictions Of both victories are based on the constantly increasing for Wadsworth and Davenport in upstate returns. Wadsworth still is slightly be- hind Calder but with TOO districts still to be heard from he is believed to stand an excellent show of winning. An error Of about 1000 votes in the Greater New York tabulation tonight threw Wads- worth into the lead temporarily on the face of the returns, but he really is about 2000 behind. With 1000 dis triets still to report Davenport was 2nG0 ahead of Sulzer

great credit to the state fair as he has been exhibiting here for some years In addition to this the exhibit of Baldwin county, of. Coosa county and of the other counties of this state show what can be done in the way oi agriculture in Alabama. 1 am well pleased with the fair thus far. The opening day was good and the rainy conditions today did not keep the peo- pie away. They came and their pres ence on dreary day cheered us inn measurably. We are, therefore, doubly grateful to them. l look for a fine day Wednesday, and on Saturday when we run the double bIll of races the at tendance, l believe, will be phenome- nal"
 The additional interest in the az ricultural exhibits yesterday was the fact that l.. R. Neel of the Nashville Agriculturist, started out to judge the exhibits. He Is taking plenty of time for that work, and will not conclude until this afternoon. when he will make report to President Brown and the officials. From remarks made by MT Neel the exhibits are unusually attrac- tive.
 No Free Acts
 The free acts arranged for the fair We're dispensed with yesterday after noon and last night by reason of the bad weather. This made business or the midway exceedingly good The show men with acts on the midway are said to have been very much gratified over the attendance yesterday It is q fact that standing room was at pre- mium in the show operated by Rice & Dore with the diving girls. The act is thrilling. There is said to be one yosng woman with Rice & Dore who swan the Golden Gate in San Fran cisco, and who also jumped from the tremendous Great Northern bridge in Washington. The other acts shown or President Brown claimed for then when he came back this summer from Cleveland after looking them over
 There was reported yesterday that at increasel in price would be made by the management on account of the weather and the high cost of the show this year. This was branded by MT Brown as absolutely wiz Nout founda- tion in the following st. mt
 "1t seems that certai fties have seen fit to circulate the IL .,ort that the Alabama State Fair association is charging an admission fee of $1 and s1.50 to the fairgrounds this year.
 This report is absolutely false and utterly without foundation From whence it emanated l cannot say, bu. that does not lessen the falsity of the report. The admission fee is 50 cents this year, the same as it has been for years past. All prices on the grounds for admission are the same as they always have been. There is no ad- vance.
 T want the people of Alabama to know that we are here for right and courteous treatment and under no cir cumstances are prices to be advanced
