IJ: S. BOND ISSUES FOR WATERWAYS

President Elect Taft Would Improve This System Of Navigation. $63,000,000 SCHEME UP. 'PROPOSED TO DREDGE THE OHIO RIVER AND IF WORK WAS PUSHED IT COULD BE DONE IN A DECADE. j Hot Springs, Nor. 28. Federal bond issues for large waterway improvement projects are favored by Presi-'dent-elect TaTt. He believes the cost 'of increasing the usefulness of the igreat navigable highways of the counjtry should not be borne entirely by the present generation, but 6hould be shared by future generations, who will profit as much by their improvement. !Mr. Taft discussed this subject with Albert Bettinger, of Cincinnati, Vice president of the Ohio Valley Improvement Association, who came here to enlist his active sympathy and aid in the interest of the project to secure a Mine-foot depth in the Ohio River from Pittsburg to Cairo, Illinois. The cost of this particular scheme of canalization was estimated last winter by a Board of Army Engineers appointed by Mr. Taft, then Secretary ;of War, at between $63,000,000 and $64,000,000. Under the method of making appropriations for river and !harbor improvements that has been in vogue up to this time Congress would take several decades to make provision for its completion. Money would be appropriated for carrying on ( the Nrork at a few points only instead of .at numerous points along the river. I But it is estimated that if bonds ,were issued the entire work could be finished within a decade. When Mr. Bettinger spoke to the President-elect about using his influence with Representative Burton, of Ohio, who, in his capacity as Chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, will draw up and have charge of the iriver and harbor bill this winter. r .

THE THEATER

THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. "The First Violin" Saturday. Hoyt's "Bunch of Keys" Monday. NEW PHILLIPS. Vaudeville all week. "The First Violin." "The sweet singer of old songs," the term applied to Miss Ella May Fitch, who is appearing in "The First Violin" which appears at the Gennett Theater, today, matinee and night. Miss Fitch, a young opera singer, was especially sngaged for the role of the heroine and who has been studying in Germany with the great masters. Miss Fitch imparts to the role the ideal atmosphere, both in youth, beauty and voice and, in the third act the pretty little home scene, a place has been most naturally made for Miss Fitch as the heroine, to appear for her special feature in singing "The old sweet songs." Though, perhaps, not near so great a singer as Patti. yet many feel that she achieves the desired result, that of reaching the heart with her sweet melodies. "A Bunch of Keys." That never to die concoction of music and merriment, "A Bunch of Keys" is scheduled for presentation at the Gennett Theater next Monday. Nov. 30, and unless all signs fail, it will be given a rousing welcome, not alone on account of its long and useful career as an amusement of superior laugh quality, but its high reputation for song hits, but more particularly owing to the fact that for this season's tour it comes thoroughly prepared to invite the severest criticism on the grounds of novel features, mostly supplied by comedians and singers who have been selected with due regard for the brilliant work they have performed with other organizations. ' In fact, "A Bunch of Keys" comes with every assurance of affording a decided treat to those who appreciate all that is acceptable in the line of vigorously funny and harmoniously excellent in progressive musical comedy. "Ye Colonial Stock." The maximum of stage productions at the minimum price is the secret of success of Ye Colonial Stock Company, whichopens its annual engagement at the Gennett Tuesday afternoon next, and continuing throughout the week.

Manager Benner has lately added several of the big Eastern successes to an already extensive repertoire and this, with the addition of several new faces, should make this corning engagement a memorable one from a theatrical point of view. A late addition is Miss Dorothy Smith, .vho will be remembered for her excellent work with the Murray Comedy company, another is Harry Waterhouse, an Eastern actor of prominence. Tuesday, the opening night, "Slaves of the Orient" will be given. This play is an intensely interesting one, telling a sensational story of the adventure of an ensign of the United States Navy. Every bill offered by this well known company, is a good one. In addition to the regular bill each evening Manager Benner will Introduce high-class vaudeville features. Heading the list are the Unicycle Hays, who were formerly featured with several of the larger minstrel shows. These young men do amazing stunts on the bicycle and unicycle. An added feature is "Noisy Evans, the boy with the skates. Seats are no won sale.

Until the constitutional amendment of 1804 the president and the vice president were voted for on the same ballot, the man with the second highest number of Totes becoming vice president. The presidential electors have not always been chosen by popular vote. Before 1S00 it was the general custom for the state legislatures to choose the electors, and it was not until 182S that presidential electors were chosen in nearly all the states by popular vote. As late as 1876 the Colorado legislature chose the three presidential electors to represent that state. There is nothing in the constitution to prevent any state legislature naming its own electors without appeal to the people provided such a method of election is prescribed by the state laws. From 1800 to 1S24 presidential candidates were chosen by the members of congress in caucus. In 1824 the electoral college failed to make a choice from the candidates so submitted, and the matter went to the house of representatives. Four years later Tennessee's legislature nominated Andrew Jackson without any reference to the congressional caucus. His opponent, John Quincy Adams, was nominated in the old way, but that was the end of presidential nominations by congressional caucus. Gathered Him In. Tou look very much excited, dear." he said when she entered the parlor where he was waiting for her. "Well. I should think I ought to look excited," she answered. 'Tve Just had the most awful argument with ma." And she began to weep hysterically. "Why, what Is the matter, my darling?" he inquired as he slid an arm around her waist and endeavored to soothe her. "What was the argument?" "Oh, how can I tell you? She said you were only trifling with me and that you would never propose, and I told her she did you a great Injustice, for I believed that you would propose tonight. She said you wouldn't, and I said you would, and we had it hot and heavy. Dear George, you will not let ma triumph over me, will you?" "W-why, certainly not," answered George. "I knew it. my darling." the dear girl exclaimed; "come, let us go to ma and tell her how much mistaken she was." And they did, and ma didn't seem to be very much broken down over the affair, after alL An artillery lieutenant in Kraguyevats, Servia, has been sentenced to twenty-one days imprisonment for compelling a recruit to undergo the most cruel indignity in Servian eyes.

TWO HEW OTE HITS "Little Nemo" a Diverting Spectacle of High Class.

GILLETTE SEEN IN "SAMSON." Victor Herbert Wrote the Music and Harry B. Smith the Book of Play Based on Winsor .McCay'e Cartoons. Constance Collier Scores With Mr. Gillette. From Our New York Dramatic Correspondent. "Little Nemo" at the New Amsterdam theater has taken New York by storm, and many critics describe the production as one of the best spectacles ever put on the American boards. The play, based on the cartoons of Winsor McCay in a prominent eastern newspaper, has a fairly tangible plot, written by Harry B. Smith, with music by Victor Herbert. Little Nemo is a young lad who wanders away iu his dreams to the most fantastie regions of the imaginary world, where nothing that isn't is and everything that is isn't. Accompanied by Flip and Pr. Pill, the missionary, and the Candy Kid, not to speak of troops upon troops of fairies, cannibals, soldiers and wild animals, Little Nemo made his way through all the known adventures and a few specially prepared for the occasion. When you first saw the cartoon hero he was playing games in a wonderful children's playground, where Dr. I'ill In the guise of a fairy policeman arrested the rain and prevented it from spoiling sport. And you followed him later to his bedroom, where Gladys. the cat, saved him from a plot of Flip's, who had appeared on the scene in the guise of a burglar in order to be taken to Slumberland Iu his place, where he might have married the princess and lived happily ever after if she hadn't told him he looked like a monkey and spurned his proffered band. Also you accompanied him to the beautiful land of Valentine, where there were more lovely ladies still, who sang about Cupid the Postman and asked you, "Won't you be my valentine?" which seemed a silly question, as anybody would without the asking. Things got bad when Flip happened into the weather factory in the clouds and turned on all kinds of weather at once, but in the meantime you had seen the beautiful sunbeams and snowflakes and heard the patter of the raindrops, one of the prettiest and most original ideas in a dancing number that has been produced for a long time. And you subsequently saw Nemo and his party on a cannibal island, where they were obliged to entertain the cannibal king, which they did to his complete satisfaction and your own as well. Finally at the end of the second act you saw "A Boy's Dream of the Fourth of July," a stunning spectacular effect, with flowering bouquets of rockets and roman candles and brilliant fire that made you glad to be a boy again, whether you really were one or not. The cast is a thoroughly strong one, including three amusing low comeALBKRTINA BENSON, FA IKY QUEEN IN LITTLE NEMO. dians Joseph Cawthorn, Billy B. Van and Harry Kelly with Master Gabriel as Little Nemo and Albertlna Benson and Elphye Snowden as the fairy queen and the weather vane respec tively. That Harvard came pretty near not having Charles W. Eliot for its head is recalled by the Boston Traveller in commenting on the retirement of the veteran conductor. "The choice of president is vested in the corpora tion of Harvard College that is, the president, treasurer and five fellows whose function it is to nominate to the overseers for their approval, says the Traveller. "In case the overseers refuse to approve, the president and felows must again nominate. It is not generally known that forty years ago, when Charles W. Eliot was selected by the corporation of Harvard College as president, the overseers refused to indorse his name and it was returned once or twice until finally, through the persistency of some powerful friends on the board of overseers, he was approved as pres ident, to the everlasting glory of Harvard and the cause of American edu cation." The Federal Weather Bureau is ex perimenting with a new machine known as the meterograph, which re cords t emperature, atmosphereic pressure, humidity and other impor tant data for forty days without at tention. Foley s Honey and Tar clears the air passages, stops the irritation In the throat, soothes the inflamed membranes, and the most obstinate cough disappears. Sore and inflamed lungs are healed and strengthened, and the cold is expelled from the system. Refuse any but the genuine in the yellow package. A. G. Luken & Co. Plant life rarely thrives under yew

I write this for publication with the hope that it will influence others who suffer as I did to try the great Root Juice remedy. The wonderful medicine has done so much good for me that I feel it my duty to tell it. For years I spent a life of" misery, but ti.anks to the great discovery I am now free from every ache and pain. I, like many others, was skeptical when the papers first told of the way many hundreds of cures Root Juice was making, but after seeing several people that were using it, I concluded to try it, although I felt that every organ of my body was almost worn out. My liver was torpid, my kidneys were weak and my stomach was in a horrible condition. At times it felt likt it was full of rocks. A great deal of gas formed and I had weak spells frequently and I was badly constipated. My appetite was very poor and even in hot weather my hands and feet were cold. I was using some kind of medicine most of the time without much benefit. After taking the Juice a few days I began to improve. I have used four bottles and am feeling better than I have for twenty years and I believe the remedy has permanently cured me Mrs. J. A. Colbert, R. R. No. 7, Ft. Wayne, Ind." The great remedy has done worlds of good here in Richmond, as any one can learn by calling at A. G. Luken's drug store. Root Juice is sold for SI a bottle or three for $2.50. "Uze-It" Pain Oil 23 cents. The Oil is a needed assistant in rheumatism and kidney troubles when there is pain, soreness or inflammation. A Little Paint Badly Applied. The Journal des Debats in an article on "Napoleon on the Stage" tells why the play "L'Homme de Destin" was taken from the stage when its triumph was at the zenith. One evening, according to the story, the emperor, accompanied by his friend Duroc, went in disguise to the Porte St Martin theater, where the piece was being performed, Eugene Chevalier appearing as the man of destiny. They bought a box, but had hardly entered It when the emperor broke forth in violent execrations against the "fool managers." It seemed that the decorators had left In the box pots of oil and paint, and into these the emperor had stepped. "WiM with rage," says the writer, "he rushed from the house and, to make matters worse, was recognized in the lobby. No paper mentioned the incident, but by order of the emperor the play was never produced again, and Chevalier never appeared again as the man of destiny and all on account of a little paint badly applied." Passengers at Bouncers. A passenger in a full railway carriage in England has a perfect legal right to push away any one else who tries to get Into it. This decision was given at Marylebone police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at Bishop's road station by another passenger, who said the car was full. "It is the duty of conductors," said the court, "to see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force to prevent any one from boarding cars when they are full. If they fail to avail themselves of this right the passengers are entitled to act for themselves." The peanut acreage of Burma increased from 3.S00 in 1903, to 80,000 in 1907. i
