first farewells wero said at last night's
performance, when, after the third act.
Miss Frances Nellson, who played Doi-o-ihy,
and A. H. Van Buren, who has the
part of Sir John Manners, responded to
the repeated calls of the house and
made brief speeches.
"Dorothy Vernon." similar In setting
and. dramatic conception to "When

but praise can be given the players. As

The only adverse criticism that can be

the part of Sir George.

"The Angel and the Ox"

When the curtain was lifted at the
Academy Theater last night on "The

(Extract from W. A. Jones' Speech at
Roanoke, August 3, 1911.)
Mr. Jones announced that he had
two days before come into posses
sion of a number of letters written
between the years 1891-1896 by Sen
ator Martin to W. A. Glasgow, Jr.,
attorney of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company. These were the
letters read by Mr. Jones at Peters
burg Tuesday night last Mr.. Jones
read each one of them slowly and
with great emphasis. They are as
follows:
Scottsvllle, Va., June 14, 1893.
Confidential.
W. A. Glasgow, Jr., Esq.,
Roanoke, Va.
Dear Glasgow:
Since writing to you on yesterday
I learned from Major "Hill that he
saw M. C. Thomas in Richmond a
few days '-ago, and that he" stated
that lie had not as yet determined
-whether he would be a candidate for
THE STATE SENATE OR FOR THE
HOUSE, BUT THAT' HE WOULD
CERTAINLY BE4 A CANDIDATE
FOR- ONE OR THE OTHER. ,
Strong Bill Presented
At Cosmo's Theater
A vaudeville .bill which undoubtedly
will prove of Interest to all opened the
week at the Cosmos yesterday.
Capacity audiences thronged the little
theater afternoon and evening. Relne
Glorlus'e, the French model, in repro
ductions of the world's classic works
In' sculpture and pantomime, was
warmly received. Elaborate electrical
effects heightened the success fit the
act.
One of the big surprises of the bill
Is the. singing of Leona, the Rus
sian songstress. She displays a voice
of wide range. The Three Muska
leers of Minstrelsy, Shane, Troy, and
Baker scored a solid hit wJth their
original Idea of minstrel first part, In
tabloid form. The Bongs and stories
are new and good, and their dancing
Is excellent.
The old Country Choir found Immedi
ate favor with Its varied program of
old favorite songs and melodies. The
choir is a mixed quartet Roch &
McCurdy received much applause 111
their laughable farce "The Cross-road's
Magicians." The musical act of May
and Lilly Burns, completes the bill.
Dainty little corsage bouquets of roses
and ferns were given the women at all
performances. The management has
decided to retain this feature for the
entire week,
Sam Devere's Company
Scores at the Lyceum
Nymphera, the advertised feature of
Sam Deyere's burlesque company,
while wonderful in its way, did not do
tract from the popularity of the two
act farce, "A Legal Affair," In which
John W. Early, Ned Radcllfte. James
Emmet, and Ed Ward had a chance to
show their power as funny men.
The fixca deals with the efforts of
a Dutchman to get the water rights on
a certain piece of land, so that he can
build a brewery, and gives Pearl Leigh,
the leading lady, a chance to swindle
everybody, while posing as a suffragette
lawyer.
The lines of the farce are clever,
and the comedy Is well presented. The
choruH Is well costumed and lively, and
the whole performance goes off in a
tinnnnv- nd iilpaslnc manner.
Gertrude Lynch has the leading num
ber in the olio, and her several songs
and imitation of Eva Tanquay were re
ceived in an enthusiastic manner. on
the Water Wngon," an olio act, met
with a hearty indorsement. ,.,.
Nymphera, living pictures, held the
two large audiences In rapt attention.
Three models gave a number of differ
ent poses, one picture fading Into an
other. Dante's Inferno in
Pictures at the Belasco
A moving picture Interpretation of
Dante's Inferno drew a fair audience
to the Belasco last night, and those
who were willing to forego the excite
ment of a holiday night on the Ave
nue were well repaid.
The pictures depict the trip of the
poet accompalned by Virgil through
the domains ruled by Satan. The spec
tacle is tremendously elaborate, and one
can eisily believe the announcer's state
ment that two years were required In
Its production. . " .
The films are shown In colors, and so
realistic is the picture of he brimstone
hereafter for ell ones that the behold
er leaves not only with a keenerwre
Hntlon of Dante's work, but with a
firm resolve to lead a better me.

do to make any suggestion on that
line in the nature of a BARGAIN OR

sibly take such shape as to result In
that way.

HOLIDAY THRONG
Emma Carus'Heard in New
Songs Enjoyable
Farce Presented.
For the third week of the current
season the management of Chase's
house of polite vaudeville has a bill
that met with the hearty approval of
the holiday audiences that attended the
matinee and night performances on
Labor Day. Billed as the tpp-llner Is
Emma Cams, the popular BroadwayJ
star of musical comedy, who was last
seen here-wlth Eddie Toy in "Up and
Down Broadway." Miss Carus has the
happy faculty of getting her songs
across the footlights In a way In which
they bring the best results and, Includ
ing the Carus smile, wins her audience
right from the start. Her several num
bers were heartily applauded, especially
one of her own composition, "Waps,
My Dear."
Wilfred Clarke and a capable com
nanv nresent a laughable farce written
bv Mr. Clarke, entitled "The Dear De-4
parted." There are numberless com
plications and several almost Impossi
ble situations, but, nevertheless, the
comedy Is an amusing one lull of
'"sharing honors with the foregoing com
edv comes Zellah Covington and Rose
wfibe?; to a Playlet entitled "The Pan
nonage." As announced on the pre
grant It is a Play by two Players FBdr
distinct characters are assumed byMr.
Covington and three by Miss Wllber.
It Is a quick-change act. presented with
special scenery and effects, and Is a nov
elty to Chase patrons.
A college-life act thai wins favor was
"that of Messrs. Fish, Crumlt. and
O'Rell, who introduce vocal and lnstru;
mental numDers in a no w;z;
Al Fields and Jack Lewis exploit 'The
Misery of a Hansom Cab. Their
"hop-peeppr" and "bottle mine;' stories
kept the audience convulsed. The Spin
sell brothers have an eccentric acrobatic
act o the rough-and-tumble variety.
The opening number is Rein-Brandt, an
artoonlst, who reproduces pictures with
the aid of an air pistol.
"Wife in Name Only"

Roanoke, Va.
Dear Glasgow:
Your letter of the 30tn ultimo came
duly to hand. I am very sorry to
hear that you have been Blck. I ex
pect that the dissipation of last win
ter would make Berious Inroads on
your constitution, but as you held up
so long after the THIRD ESTATE
HAD BEEN DISBANDED I had al
most concluded that I had under
rated your strength. It turns out
that Barbour, Thompson, Hal Flood
and "THE GANG" were too much
for you.
Why not come down to Albemarle
as soon as you are well enough, to
get out and recuperate? I will get
some of THE BOYS to meet you if
you will come, and will guarantee
you comfort and quiet retirement in
the country. Try and arrange to
come down, giving me a few days'
notice, and I think we can vamp
you up. As young as you are you
ought to have some recuperative
power, however badly wrecked you
may be.
I was with Flood at Buckingham.
Courthouse on Saturday. e is
working away quietly but ener
getically on his canvass, and will
give "Little Harry" serious trouble.
I am sure Flood would Join you at
my house, and I think the "young

from you. Your friend,

NEW YORK. Sept. B. Since two wo
men lost their lives on Coney Island's
"Giant racer" Sunday night, the fun
maklni; contrivance has proven more
profitable than ever.
IN THE HOUSE AT ALL? Flood's
opponent, Mr. R. T. Hubard, Is one
of the most extreme Populists in the
State, with talent, energy and enter
prise enough to give a great deal of
trouble. Mi. W. K. Flannagan, who
is opposing F. H. Parrish In
the Goochland-Chesterfleld-Powhatan
District, is the same sort of man.
His business for the past ten years
has been demagoging against rail
roads. Should such men as this get
Into the Legislature they will start
measures and DEMAGOGUE THEM
TO SUCH AN EXTENT AS TO DE
MORALIZE THE DEMOCRATS WHO
DESIRE TO BE CONSERVATIVE
AND JUST TO CORPORATE INTER
ESTS. Adding the fact that those
heretofore conservative will feel that
they have been abandoned, I will
expect one of, the most revolutionary
Legislatures that has ever been con
vened In this State. If you will look
over the list of House nominees YOU
WILL FIND A VERY OBSCURE
LOT. With what animus they will
come here I do not know. I feel
that it is really unnecessary to have
said this much to you, but'have not
been able to refrain from doing so,
whether necessary or not my Inter
est Is bo deepin this matter. Should
the extremists dominate the next
Legislature the result will have been
accomplished at least AFTER ALL
WARNING I COULD GIVE HAS
BEEN GIVEN. Your friend,
(Signed) THOMAS S. MARTIN.
Commenting upon these letters,
Mr. Jones declared that It would be
J impossible for him to add by any
thing he might say to their force anqj
killing effect
He directed attention, however, to
the fact that the letter bearing date
October 23, 1895, was written after
SenatofMartln'.nad become a sena
tor of the Unlted.States, and, after he
hadsevered, as he. claimed to have
done, allot his railroad connections.
He nolnted out that it was a host in
sistent appeal" to a representative of
a great railroad company for funds
to be used In the election of certain
candidates "for the Legislature, but
that there was not even a pretense
that the funds were sought for the
purpose of preserving the supremacy
of the white' people of Virginia. The
writer of the letter boldly and un
blushlngly, said Mr. Jones, urged
railroad contributions in order to
help elect members of the Legisla
ture upon whom, experience had
shown "the tallroa'ds could always
rely. Senator Martin asked, in this
letter if It had come to pass that
the railroads did not need a leader
or frieada la tne House, and declared

that his reason for writing so plainly
and so urgently was the deep inter
est which he felt In the matter. In
this connection Mr. Jones directed
sharp attention to these words of
Senator Martin:
"Find the railroad for whom I
have lobbied. Find the legislator,
whom I have solicited. FIND THE
MAN I HAVE SOLICITED FOR AND
YOU FIND A LIAR BEARING
FALSE WITNESS."
Before concluding his remarks,
Mr. Jones declared that he would
address a few observations and pro
pound a few questions to the Hon.
Thomas S. Martin, to which the peo
ple of Virginia would like for him
to make answer.
"Ib not the falsity of your pre
tense, that you were not closely and
actively associated with railroad par
tisans and these distributors of Tail
road funds to such partisans, shown
by your letters to Mr. Glasgow
which I have read?
"You cannot whine as to these, as
you did in the case of the Barbour
Thompson letters 'I never saw
them,' 'I never handled them.' You
yourself wrote them, and the only
question is, .What do they prove?
"(1) They'prove that In 1893, the
year you were elected United States
senator over General Fltzhugh.Lee,
when the nomination of members of
the next Legislature was before the
people, you were In correspondence
over such nominations with the rail
road attorney, who admitted before
the investigating committee of the
Legislature that he handled in
Southwest Virginia the contribution
of the Norfolk and Western Rail
road Company.
"(2) That this was the man wjiom
you asked to so manipulate the nomi
nation that Mr. Allen Watts should
be nominated for the Senate.
"(3) That you at that time cared
nothing for the high ability of Mr.
Watts or "the Interest of the State,
because this nomination was to be
had on 'an understanding that Watts
w,jll support me after Hunton is out,
or, say, Hunton for he short terni
and-myself for the full term.' You
want it brought to him so delicately
as not to antagonize hlmi" And then
you warn your friend who distributed

but here you are found, not only
backed by Mr. Thompson, who han
dled other railroad funds, but mak
ing suggestions to the man who
handled the funds of the Norfolk
and Western Jtailroad Company as
to how to get a certain gentleman
nominated, if he would give -you his
support.
"How close must you be brought
to railroads before you are willing to
admit that you have been for years
as their willing servitor? Did the
railroads have any reason to spend
their money for your benefit 'unless,
as you said of Mr, Flood, they have
always been able to rely on you?
You are willing for Thompson to be
held responsible for his damning let
ter about not letting Hatcher have
$500.00 unless, as he tells Mr. Hol
land, "'you must satisfy yourself very
thoroughly as to his position.' You
are willing to paint Mr. Flood as one
whom the railroads 'have always
been able to rely on. .You are will
ing to beg to get the man who
handled "the funds of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company to
try to manipulate a nomination.

THIS RAHROAD ACTIVITY? You
finally became the recipient of the
United States senatorshlp through
these fupds and "this activity. You
must no longer dodge behind Thomp-'
sonV You now stand exposed both
as to your associates and followers.
And on every side you are surround
ed by men upon whom the railroads
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO

intimate that this Mr. Glasgow Is a

know well what these words mean.
They mean lobbyists men who hang

re-election. Mr. Flood, Mr. Thomp
son and others of the 'same sort'
