Mc. Rives Emerson, as Mr. Flip per, certainly made a good lead. Tine ami time again bringing applause by lis clever acting. Joseph Leahy, tak mg- the dual part of Mike, the Irish sen-ant, and later as Professor Bar ton, the deaf physical culturist, wac all !iat could be desired. In the lat- credit for his efforts. Between the first and second acts the audience was treated to an ex tremely well rendered vocal solo by Miss Liura McCann. This was Miss McCann's first appearance in public since her return from Chicago where she has been studying voice culture. Another feature of the entertain ment, was the music furnished by the Astoria High School orchestra. Too much praise cannot be accorded these young ladies and gentlemen, all stu dents, of the High School, for the excellency of their share of the evening's pleasures. Altogether the play was a success from start to finish and yielded a nice profit which will be used in defraying the season's expnses of the promising High School football team.

Yvon GuilliuTie, as QnfcR-, the detective, and later as Wilmington, son of Mr. Flipper, play ed lis part to perfection. The part f Mrs. .Flipper, taken by Miss Fanny Gregory, was well executedas was the parts taken by Miss Amy Rannells and Miss Matie Gregory. Mr. Henry Skibbe as Snorter, the cabman and ' as Black, the lawyer's clerk, was well received, as was Wil liam Wooten,: as John the footman. Miss, Winifred Higgins as Sadie, won the hearts of the audience at her first appeaarnce. aLst, but not least, was Mr. Timothy Whitman as Peter Jones, the new groom. His comical appearance and ludicrous make-up kept the house in a continual uproar. The make-ups were excellent and the credit is due to Herbert S.

Allen WEN SILENCE WAS GOLDEN. peechmaking by Presidential Candi date No Longer Dangerous. The modem practice of speecbniak Jig by presidential candidates Is to marked contrast to the early practice. In former times It was considered un dignified for a candidate for president to make any open effort In his own be bnlf, and candidates generally observ ed strict silence. The theory was that If a candidate opened nla mouth to say anything or even wrote the most com monplace letter It would be used against him. ' - General Scott, Whig candidate for president In 1S52, owed hi defeat In part to two innocent but unfortunate expressions used by him long before tils nomination. In 1S4C, when he ex pected to be ordered to Mexico, he be spoke the support of the administra tion for his military plans by saying ia a published letter that "soldiers had a far greater dread of a fire upon the rear than of the most formidable en emy In the front." For this expression President Polk declined to order him to Mexico at that time, and when Scott was nominated for president six rears later he never heard the last of "the fire upon the rear." The other expression occurred In a aote to the secretary of war. One day the secretary called at General Scott's jfflce and found that he was absent On returning and learning that the sec retary had called the general wrote note In explanation of his absence, say ing that he.f'bad only stepped out for a moment to take hasty plate of soup." When he was nominated for president the "hasty plate of soup" figured In ell sorts of caricatures and brought npon him ridicule that be did not deserve, v j Abraham Lincoln, a frequent speak er prior to his nomination, did not ut ter a word publicly during the cam paign. He made no addresses, wrote no public letters and held no confer ences. His letter of acceptance con tained only 134 words.
