Tonight "The Mayor of Tokio,' Peters great two-act fareical opera opens at 4.. tho Lyric theatre where Bonville & Schocneck made such great success with "The Yankee Prince'' last week.

 All of the favorites of last week, with several others will be seen in The Mayor Tokio." Miss Yra Jeane, the charming prima donna, whose success as the villainess last week was 70 marked, will be cast as "Oloto San" daughter of the mayor, whose part will be taken by that comical, naive, star of Broadway, William Sel- 1ery. Dave Mallen. the young man, who is so much like George M. Conan, his partner; Miss Dorothy Wright, Gward N. Crawford, that favorite star, John L. Kearney, Walter Gilbert, AL lan Ramsay, and Virginia Wynn, a new conner to the company, together with several others. will be seen in principal parts.
 The chorus is one of the largest and most beautiful seen on a stage in the city in some time, and has been made the subject of much favorable com ment. All of the song numbers will be given just as originally sung, to- Eethcr with several new ones The scsnic- effects have been planned with much care. Madame Sherry is ail- nounced as the show for next week.

PLAZA.

< The Payment an absorbing sex play in five acts starring Bessie Bar r1scale, the charming emotional &C., tress and William Desmond, is the r1Axa's big Triangle attraction for the first half of the week. "The Pay mept" is g story of unusual power and affords Miss Barriscale the fullest opportunity to display her wide range of emotional expression. It breaches q strong moral sermon and seeks to place a price on vlrtue-a price that is the very blood of life itself.
 A new Keystone two part comedy will be shown in addition to the main photoplay.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS
(Mrs. Edward Porritt, Hartford.)

(Mrs. Edward Porritt, Hartford)
 The names of women nominated for places in the Connecticut delegation to the national woman suffrage conven- tion are now being sent in to heald- quarters in Hartford. The final choice of delegates will not be made, how ever, until the executive board meets in August. The convention is to be held in Atlantic City on September 6-12 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage association, will pre- side over it's sessions, and she will present the subject for which the con- vention has been specially called at this early date. This subject is the policy to be pursued by the national and its affiliated branches in the coming presidential and con- gressional elections.
 It is gratifying to suffragists all over the country that their cause has been endorsed by both the Republican and the Democratic party. The anger of Mrs. Catt and her colleagues was, however, excited by the manner in which many of the politicians have
 
 suspicion that some of these men sim ply intended to shelve the subject for the present-to clear the elections of the woman suffrage issue. With this in view they attempted to do some thing very closely resembling a bunco game. This is something that the women will not stand for, and every man who is insincerely trying to play with or fool the woman is likely to feel the weight of their anger in the election.
 The suffragists in the East have no votes. They have only the much boasted indirect infiuence,'' and pol iticians in general do not greatly care about this feeble weapon. There is, however, something that they can do. It is something that was tried with great effect by Miss Margaret Foley in Massachusetts. They can go into the constituencies of candidates who have cheated them, and tell the voters just what these candidates have done. They can show up their records-and men who are ready to cheat the wo- men have probably much in their rec ords that they do not care to have shown up. They can tell just how these men have voted in the past on important measures. They can show up their untrustworthiness, and voters | in general do not love a candidate who is willing to stoop to such un- worthy methods as some of the can- didates seem ready to adopt in con- nection with the woman suffrage is. sue. A bad candidate can usually pt defeated by means of a large dose O. truth served out to his constituents The voters in general desire hones and straight men, and men who car be shown to have acted crookedly or one issue are not trustworthy on any issue.

 Is there . real military organization known as the Tsxas ransers7
 The rangers have cut big figure in Texas history ever since Sam Hous- ton and his compatriots seeded from Mexico and set up a republic of their own. The United States government organized seventeen companies of rangers during the war of 1912, and they were made part of the regular army, being mustered out after An drew Jackson's victory at New Orleans ended hostilities. When the Black Hawk war broke out in 1885 the rang CTS were called into action again. Each man furnished his own horse, arms and equipment and was paid $1 a day. Later the battalion became a regiment of dragons, wEich was later brought into the regular army as the First cavalry. In the Confederate army several Texas units bore tue title of rangers. The present organization consists of about forty men and off cers.
