Though this masterpiece of Shakes
pearean farce-comedy is best known
for its leading female character,
Katherine, the stage presentations
almost Invariably agree in giving Pc
truchio the leading role, for his is
the dominant figure throughout from
the time he comes upon the stage, and
only In the early scene does Katherine
command most attention. Thus it is
that to Mr.. E. A. Douthitt falls the
role most filled with opportunities,
and he responded admirably to them.
He played Petruchio with a high
humor, very cavalier in spots and iE
others roughly braggart, with erl-
phaSis, however, less upon the rude.
ness that amazed and frightened
Katherine than upon the perplexing
turns and twists of temper or whiT
with which he first took her complete
ly aback and later wore down her own
furious temper and brought her to sub,
mission through mingled physical aud
mental exhaustion Reading his lines
generously well, always with entire
command of the situation, and with an
easy Sld6c pISSSuSC IudI CiSdIit IL
terpreted the part of the keen-witted
gentleman of Verona, Mr. Douthitt
steered clear of the obvious method ri
playing Petruchio which consists of
rant and buster, thus preparing his
audience for the ultimate triumph Of
mutual love over apparently irrecon-
cilable animosities. .....
Miss Desmond Kelley's Katherine
was as admirable in its way as his
Petruchio. Hers is the less natural
role, and the stage version given last
night adds to its difficulties by max
ing her surrender a matter of such
short time that it is psychologically
untrue. To her then was given the
necessity of indicating the coming
downfall of pride some time before

Left handed throwers who desire to

to the fact that left handed thrower

AN OLD TIME NAVAL EVENT.
John Paul Jones' Greatest Exploit. the
Defeat Of the Scraps.

SS'Seh W WV SofaP'os
Following up many feats Of daring.
John Paul Jones In the summer Of
ITS captured near the English coast
the British twenty gun warship Drake,
Of superior build to his vessel. the
Ranger, and carried It into Brest with
100 prisoners. He had already won
renown In America. and as q result of
this victory he was placed in command
Of the ship Duras. furnished by the
French government in recognition OF
his valor. Jones changed the name Of
the ship TO Bohhomme Richard and
In August, ITO, sailed with squad
ron OF five vessels, three American
and two French. for the coast OF Scot
land, creating even greater alarm
among the inhabitants than he had
done on previous raid.
When Off Marlborough, Jones fell in
with feet Of forty-one British mer-
chantmen returning from the Baltic
and conveyed by two powerful men
of-war-the Scraps, carrying forty
guns, and the Countess Of Scarbor-
ough, with twenty guns. On the even
Ing OF Sept %, 1910, Jones engaged
the Scraps In battle, and after three
hours Of desperate fighting, during
which the two ships were dashed to-
gether, the Scraps surrendered. The
Bonhomme Richard, however, was SO
badly damaged that It sank two days
later, the crew in the meantime being
transferred to the Scraps.
For this victory, his most famous
exploit, Jones, upon his arrival In Par

a gold mounted sword and was deco

.FOUR MORE YEARS FOR WILSON.

The United States of America has
Just passed through a thrilling period
of anxiety such as has not been expe-
@Rienced in this country since the ctVn
war and that which marked some OF
the horrors and privations, felt in the
South, Immediately succeeding that
unfortunate struggle. .
But now the skies have cleared, the
clouds have rolled away and the party
of the people, by the people and for
the people all the time, has elected to
the presidency to succeed himself the
nineteenth president of all the forty
eight states of the American Union.
The South and the west-the 'far
-west,' with Ohio a determining fac
tor-and the Pacific Slope Joined
forces and won a glorious victory for
the Democratic candidate-the first
nominee of the party for President to
win a consecutive victory in more
than half a century-a victory that
raises a banner with 81 stars of the
forty-eight in the bright galaxy which
Old Glory flies to the breeze in the
dawn's early light, and with nearly a
half million majority of the popular
vote over the Republican candidate.
The Democrats elected Grover
Cleveland twice, but Harrison's ad-
ministration sandwiched itself in be-
tween the two terms of the rugged
New Workers. administration. That
interruption was as embarrassing as
lit was unwe1come and operated
against some of the material purposes
and plans Of Mr.. Cleveland's back
bone administration. ~
Nr. Wilson ard the country are to
&c congratulated upon the assurance
which comes to us, though belated this
tine. that there will be, Dec volente,
no interruption of the great scheme of
administration mapped out by Wood
row Wilson and his 1~ieutenants, and
which had been carried half through
when he was nominated as his own
successor. ~ss
The people have won in a test vote
over an element of the very rich plu-
tocracy that filed the treasure of the
Hughes campaign managers to over
flowing with their donated" millions
which they thought would be we'll
~'Feinvested."
On the other hand comes the an
nouncement that Wilson's
were compelled to borrow $4OO, 900 in
excess Of what they received through
the manifold contributions Of the
average Democrat who is not rich.
The American electorate could not
be bought. That is the most magnil-
cent declaration found in the result
CT this election and 'Cur hearts swell
with gladness" when We name -hc
fact. 1t is a declaration worthy to
stand alongside that of the immortal
1776, and every honest man in North
America should have enough .Jeffer-
Sonia1 Blood in him to be exceedingly
o of it. So great a victory has
V been achieved by n man or
7oltical party since the foundation of
the Republic.
