though the play was a melodrama it was toned down to an extent that made
it a delightful production and there was much favorable comment on the part of the large crowd which saw the production.
It is the massive scenic production The Life of an Actress,", by Langdon
McCormick, and tells an exciting tale of a young girl's struggle against overwhelming odds on the stage of a big city. It is sensational enough to please
the florid taste of the most ' exacting lover of melodrama, leavened .with a layer of good comedy and has enough vaudeville interspersed to please all classes. It requires one of the largest companies on the road this season,
twenty-five people being necessary for its presentation. The play will be
contined tonight, Tuesday and Wednes
day. '

SHUT ATHLETICS OUT.
Frank Smith, the white sox piano juggler, was tuned up for fair yesterday and shut the Athletics out without a hit. Smith had been In drydock for several days, owing to a finger rendered hors de game by the business and of a line drive. He seemed to be feeling his oats on his appearance as a "flinger and twirled the six - to their fourth straight victory In most dazzling style. The best thing about Smith's victory from the standpoint of Chicago's pennant-chances is that Eddie Plank was put out of the way. That gives the sox a pretty good show of cleaning up the rest of the series, with Walsh pitching today and White or Smith in for the final game tomorrow.

After witnessing eight - innings of .good baseball the fans who had gathered at Black Oak to see the home team and the Tolleston team play had to go home without seeing the finish of the game. ' The game broke up in the first half of the ninth while Tolleston was at its last bat with the score standing 6 to 6.
The umpire called a Tolleston man out on second base, a decision to which the visitors objected so strongly that the game broke. The umpire was a Tolleston man, but after the game he maintained his decision.

A story of the Rockies and. railroad
life in the golden west Is the . new
Klimt & Gazzolo Amusement company's production, "The Rocky, Mountain Ex
press," which opened a four days engagement yesterday at the Calumet iheater' . . It is a thrilling melodrama of intense heart Interest of the incalculable scope, that is eojoyed by all classes of people. The scenic environment is beautifully designed and ar
ranged, the subjects being in the Rocky
mountains mostly gave excellent suggestions to the artist and his corps of assistants, and the result is varied
.picturesque stage pictures. "The
Rock Mountain Express" requires a big cast and the producing managers have not overlooked a single detail. In a few words, the production is a surprise from beginning to end.
Briefs. Alia Nazimova remains true to her predilection for "haut gout" problem plays of the Ibsen and Suderman type and will this season appear in a new play of that kind. Maxine Elliott 'will pose and look charming in Rachel Crother's comedy, "Myself Bettina," this season, beginning with Jan. 1, and ina new play written by Clyde Fitch. David Belasco, for many seasons the producer of gorgeously mounted plays, will try simplicity this season, by bringing out "The Fighting Hope," a new play by William J. Hurlburt, with only five characters and but one modest setting. Blanch Bates will sail under Belasco's flag this season and will star in

LOSE LAST GAME OF SEASON.
The K. C.s yesterday lost their last
game or the season to the C. I. & S.
Boilermakers by a score of 5 to 3. A
few mad throws cost the the Knights
dearly. The boilermakers put up a good game and they are now the masters over K. C.s having won two out of three games in the series. Humpfer pitched the first half of the game for the K. C.s and was released in the fifth Inning by Dan Enright, who gave only one hit in four innings. A good crowd attended the game which was played on the north side grounds.

rival was very different from the triumphant entry he made a brief two years ago, when he returned after getting the verdict over Nelson at Goldfield. Only one or two persons, personal
friends met him at the depot, in plac
of the throng which greeted him every
time he returned to his home city in his championship career.
Joe's announcement that he wtll re
turn to the ring, it is now learned, has largely been prompted by necessity. In spite of the fact that his hotel, a rather small structure valued at $30,000, is still held in his name, it is said that
Incumbrances of about $22,000 are upon it. This gives him a clear title to
only a comparatively small part of the
equity.
Iowa City, la., Sept. 20. Signal practice the first thing will be the feature of the opening practice tomorrow afternoon on Iowa field. Hard work is the program outlined for the Iowa squad the first week. There were twenty-flve players out booting the ball around on a vacant lot outside Iowa field yesterday afternoon. Many star freshmen were included In the lot, and the outlook for the freshmen team Is as encouraging as that of the varsity. After a week's strenuous signal practice the squad will work both afternoon and evening. The arc lights are being installed on Iowa field and Coach Marc Catlin is preparing to use the ghost ball in ten days' time.
KETCHEL DEPENDS ON SPEED.
Thinks Work With Abe Attell Will
Result In Benefit to Himself.
San Francisco, Sept. 20. "It's going to
be a question of speed all the time and
not a matter of the first punch, this
trip."
This was the way Stanley Ketchel
sized up his prosjects in the pending
return match with Billy Papke today after Ketch had gone through a pre
liminary workout with Abe Attell, who
returned from Los Angeles. Stanley and Attell are to work to
gether for the battle of Thanksgiving
eve., and Ketchel thinks that by making use of Attell's extreme quickness
at sparring he can easily prevent Papke
from taking him unawares in the com
ing affray.

SPORTING BRIEFS.
The Boston Americans have played great ball under the management of Fred Lake. Look out for Cleveland and the
White Sox to cause trouble for Detroit and St. Louis In the American league race. Rumors float thick and fast to the effect that Clark Griffith will be connected with the St. Louis Nationals next summer. Jack Frill, the Eastern league pitcher, was notified recently of a $50,000 bundle left him by an uncle who died in Pennsylvania. Detroit fans claim that their great hitting trio, Cobb, Crawford and Rossman, will win the flag for the Tigers. The Chicago Cuhs play ' five games with the Giants in New York during the Cubs' next eastern invasion. Addle Joss, the Cleveland pitcher, says the Chicago White Sox can't hit, can't field, can't do anything in fact but play baseball that wJns. If Hal Chase sticks to his deter
mination to play ball in California, the American league will lose one of the best first basemen in the business. In the Pennsylvania-West Virginia league the champion Uniontown club is known as the "Garlics," 'evidently because it - is composed of "well-seasoned" players who make up a "strong" team.
SENATOR HEHAY OPEWPAIGH (Conttnaed from page 1.)
the United States were spending $50,000,000 every year, should be made in this country. At that time it was being purchased in foreign markets and foreigners were employed in making a product for American consumption. Then the Dingley tariff bill was passed and an Industry was built ua in this country which has given employment to thousands of men." In a succeedingcampaign the democrats employed agents to go around from house to house attempting to sell
tin cups at 25 cents each in order to throw dust in the eyes of the people and make them believe that tinware was costing them more than It did before the tariff was put on It, when the facts were that the price per 'ton had been reduced to a remarkable extent. Senator Hemenway said Indiana is the greatest state in the union. He pointed to Indiana Harbor, Hammond and Gary as examples of what the republican party is doing for the Industrial development of the state. He said that no legislation had ever been enacted under democratic rule that was friendly to either capital and labor. One act, the Wilson-Gorman bill, closed all of the factories and made business men desperate in 1904. "STARVE US TO DEATH." By this time the audience was becoming thoroughly warmed up to what the senator was saying. When he exclaimed, "What will the democratic party do If we allow it to gain control of the government?" some one in the back of the house yelled: "Starve us to death," and the audience cheered. The senator said that the democrats were very anxious to make the temperance issue prominent to hide the real issues of the campaign. "Vote for Wickey and against such practices," said he. Senator Hemenway then made a tell-
of Taft and take their pick, and he showed that the only qualification Bryan has is his ability to talk, and e generally got "in wrong" when he did that. Referring to the state administration, Mr. Hemenway said that it was costing the people of the state $65 less per head to feed the inmates of the Insane asylums than it did under democratic rule and the patients are better fed now than they were. He gave that as an illustration of the effect of a business-llkei republican administration. ' PARTY'S LABOR RECORD. In conclusion, Mr. Hemenway said: "Republicanism means friendship to labor and the building up of the country. Don't forget the past records of the party. Do not be led aside by special issues. Vote for Jim Watson, your candidate for governor. He rose from a drayman who worked with his hands to one of the most influential men in congress. If Jim Watson is unfriendly to labor, so am I; we voted together on every bill that ever affected labor. I have known him all my life and he is one of the best friends that labor ever had." The speech was ended with loud ap
plause for the speaker. At this juncture, the quartet representing the Young Men's Republican club of Hammond rendered several political parodies which made a great hit. They were encored several times.
Congressman Burton asked leave of the audience to get off the platform and get down among them so that he could save his voice. He was received with enthusiastic cheers when he began to talk. ALSO TELLS OF LABOR. Mr. Burton said that he actually believed that the cities of the Calumet district were growing faster than those In any other manufacturing center in the world. He said the attitude of the two parties toward labor could only be shown by comparison. He then showed how the republican party has protected labor, while in the south, where the democratic party holds full sway, there is the most abominable labor conditions in the whole civilized world. Mr. Burton asked that the people stand by the republican party, as that meant help for the laborers and the farmers as well. It means protective tariff. -"We have been getting along alright," said Mr. Burton. "Our pulse is normal, the tongue is not coated and along comes Dr. Bryan and says you had better fire your old doctor and let me take his place."
sues which the democratic party has adopted and put aside as not worthy of further consideration, Mr. Burton said: "If I were a man of party pride I would be ashamed to say that I belonged to a party that would resort to such procedure as the democracy of today." - ORATORY MEANS XOTHIXG. He' said the pain and hunger of '93 and '94 were the result of just such promises as are being made today. The oratory of the democratic leaders means nothing. It is like a Dutch landscape, flat, meaningless, entirely covered with windmills. Speaking of the harbor question, he said that he would not make any promises.- It was then he said that as long as E. D. Crumpacker had charge of your interests the people of Indiana Harbor have nothing to fear at the hands of the rivers and harbors committee. Mr. Burton retired amidst tha greatest applause., of the evening. BANQUET SICE AFFAIR. It was a representative lot of politicians who gathered at the South Bay hotel in Indiana Harbor and banqueted United States Senator Hemenway and Congressman Theodore Burton. Although there were none but republicans present the banquet savored but
little of politics. The idea seemed to be rather that Indiana Harbor, regardless of politics, should honor the men who are in a position to do so much for the city in the way of improving its harbor. By the way, Countj- Chairman Schaaf has made a decided hit with the people of Indiana Harbor. He has been looking out for their welfare, not only politically but in other ways, and the members of both political parties are taking off their hats to the Hammond man today. They realize that wonders have been accomplished In the matter of securing government help for the extension and improvement of Indiana Harbor. The banquet at the South Bay hotel was an epicurian triumph, and consldern igthepci er oetaoi etaointaoin ing the price of $1 per plate, the dinner and the service were all that could be expected.
