Amusements. All theater-goers will undoubtedly be delighted to be enabled to witness that most genial of all comedy creations. “A Hoosier Daisy,” presented by Miss Bessie Clifton and her excellent company at opera house tonight. This is Jno A. Frazer’s master piece comedy and ranks with such plays as “Way Down East,” “Lover's Lane,” etc. The novel title role, that of an awkward, gawky Indiana poor bouse waif, will at once place it pre-emin-ently in the first rank of comedy creations, as one of the most unique characters ever seen on tho stage. The entire surrounding is made up of natural home like people telling a dramatic story of more than usual interest. The scenery for the production is realistic. The company one of the very best ever brought together for a production of this kiud. “A Hoosier Daisy” Manager G. H. Eldon’s latest offering which is breaking house records nearly everywhere is the work of Jno. A. Frazer, tho well known dramatist. The scene of the play is laid in a small town in the Hoosier stat’, Indiana. The author has a thorough acquaintance with his people and place, presents an “atmosphere” play although not depending on character study alone for effect. However, the awkward, gawky, good hearted “Daisy,” the young preacher, i the church committee, the town marshal, the tramp and the meddling! people of the neighborhood all add a ■ charm of their own. Mr. Frazer does I not pretend to have written a play j that brings barn yard realism on the stage. There are no threshing maeh ; ines, hay fields, farm yards or “real critters.” It is the story of country life, with quaint and beautiful scenery abundant comedy, keen satire and a vein of delightful sentiment. The four acts ar laid in Reubensville, Ind., and represent the main street, the j home of the richest man in town and the sitting room of the house where Hoosier Daisy lives. Miss Clifton who heads the cast is ably supported by a clever and well balanced com pany. “A Hoosier Daisy” is booker! for tonight at the opera house. Dr. Brook* Long on Comets. Geneva. N. Y..

PLIII Os WCKS Delaware’s Obstructionist Tells the “Bolters” What They Can Do. Man Who Has Been Striving tor to Enter the Senate Lays Down the Law, Remarkable Pronunciamento Issued by Boldest Man in American Politics. Wilmington. Del.. Feb. 17. The following statement was issued last night by J. Edward Addicks. the Union Republican candidate for United States senator, on the senatorial situation “On the Republican side there are but two things the bolters ran do. First, the ten men now voting against J, Edward Addicks ran come into a common caucus of thirty-one Republicans. In this case Addicks will with draw and his twenty-one friends w 3 nominate two Union Republican senators as near to Addicks as possible. and the whole thirty-one will elee’ them. Os course if the bolters ear. find any way whereby ten men can beat twenty-one they can nominate one of the senators. "Second, each sido can elect one senator without dictation from the other side. In this case Addicks will be the choice of the Union Republicans No dictation will be permitted by the Union Republicans. "On the Democratic side the Democrats can join the bolters and elect anybody the coalition pleases This cannot be preventea by the Union Republicans and they would not lift a hand to prevent it. "As to the future position of the Union Republicans, in no event will any more notice be taken of the bolters in Newcastle county. No more common primaries will be tolerated which would be binding on honorable Union Republicans and not binding on bolt ers. No man who refused to vote for J. Edward Addicks in the legislature will ever be allowed to hold any office in Delaware, nor will any bolter sympathisers be permitted to come to the front. Union Republicans will nominate a straight ticket in Wilmington and throughout the state in the long future. As to the appointments. Congresaman Ball cannot get a federal appointment. After March 4 the appointments. according to custom, ought to go to the Chairman of the Union Republican siate committee and the na tional committeeman. J. Edward Ad dicks. We shall see where the power will lie. J. EDW’ARD ADDICKS." DOINGS IN CONGRESS Number of Bills Passed Under Suspension of Rules in House. Washington. Feb. 17.—The house disposed of a number of bills yesterday under suspension of the rules, de featlng two. The most important men sure passed was the senate bill to amend the senate safety-appliance law A special order was adopted which practically makes the Fowler currency bill a continuing order for the remain der of the session, not. however, to Interfere with conference reports, appropriation bills and ether privileged matters. There was no debate on the state hood bill in tho senate. The Indian appropriation bill and the Philippine cur rency bill were both passed. Mr Vest, while the Indian bill was up. railed a t tention to a point of order which had been made against one of Its provisions on the ground that It was new legislation. The senate, he said, han passed the Philippine government bill as a rider to the army appropriation Uli, and yet ruled other provisions out All rules, he said, were violated when a majority was iu favor of any measure. Bills were passed as fol lows: Appropriating $135,000 to com ponaate tho Old Point Comfort Improvement company for the demolition and removal of the Hygeia hotel property from the government reservation at Old Point Comfort, Va ; anthorlr ing Washington and Westmoreland counties, Penn., to construct a bridge across the Monongahela river; resolution granting to the New York-New Jersey company the right to construct and operate an underground railway under land owned by the United States In New York.
