llii w infer then- is another contest on
U it pioniie5 to make up for any dis
appointment in that direction This
is the Cannon Parsons limit and if
such affairs were fought out in the
squared circle instead of the political
arena the announcer would step to the
middle of the ring elevate Ills chin
scowl deeply and then probably intro
duce the men as follows

All joking aside however the amaz
ing charge Herbert 1 arsons congress
man from New York and chairman of
the New York Itepubli an county com
mittee has made against Sieaker Can
non and his own party has caused a
great sensation throughout the coun
try and the affair promises to develop
into one of the bitterest lights in the
history of politics Mr Parsons
charges that Tammany Hall entered
into a deal with up stte Republicans
to defeat the efforts of New York city
Kepublicans to perfect the signature
law during the last legislative session
in Albany and a part of the deal was
that Tammany should support Speaker
Cannon and the rues of the house of
representatives lie also claims that
the IJepublican representatives of New
York city were not informed of the
deal either from Albany or Washing
ton
This charge followed the declaration
of the county chairman that Tammany
Aas planning wholesale frauds in the
coming election and that most

hensive iireparations would be made
by the ltepublican forces to circum
vent them
So much for Mr Parsons side of it
When Mr Cannon was informed of
the charge he was just lighting his
fourteenth after dinner cigar
Humph he growled only he used
another and some might think a more
expressive word If that chap Par
sons is looking for trouble he has come
to the right place Asked as to his
attitude in the matter the speaker
smiled grimly and dryly continued
I dont make a hullabaloo about
such things until Im hurt When 1
first used to go hunting as a boy along
the Wabash I saw one kind of an ani
mal that I never had seen before and
kicked at il I was weeks in recover
ing
I was weeks in recovering added
the speaker sententiously and since
that time I never have kicked at tha
kind of an animal in private life or
in politics
Almost every one is familiar with
the career of Uncle Joe Cannon Mr
Parsons too is a man of much promi
nence politically He was born in
New York city just forty years ago
and took up law after graduating from
Yale in the class of 1S90 Soon after
being admitted to the bar in 1S94 he
entered politics became the leader of
his district and is at present its repre
sentative to congress and chairman of
the New York Republican county com
miltee In speaking of his charges
against Cannon and others Mr Par
sons recently said
I had no idea of
precipitating a na
tional dispute or
controversy when
I made the state
ment but I am not
-worrying My posi
tion is simply this
and I shall maintain it no matter what
may happen I believe that a man in
my position with the power that I
have as chairman of the New York
county committee can in a few years
put a stop to illegal registration and
fraudulent voting in New York I be
lieve it is the duty of a man in my
position to do that I have no doubt
that in three or four years I will suc

OW that the
season of 1909
10 Is well un-
way it in pos-
sible to write of
some of the new
plays so lar produc
ed with more or less
certainty tint they
will continue for a
time at least So
far this year thero
have been an mi
jamhs t jovius usual large crop of
in Havana failures numerous
comedies tragedies and musi al pro
ductions having failed to find appmal
with the public It seems to lie a rea
son for strong grinning dramas and
such that are good have played to
crowded houses Some of the new al- i
tractions put on in the oast show strik 1
ing variety ranging from tragedy ard j
other forms of serious drama to music
al comedy farce and simon pure nie
drami and in addition several that
won wide popularity last year have
been put on again to continue their
runs
One of the successes is The White
Sister Viola Allens new drama in
four acts by V Marion Crawford and
Walter Ilackett This is the third
drama with the scenes laid id Italy
in which the actress has appeared
within six years the two previous ef
forts being In the Palace of the
King and The Eternal City writ
ten by F Marion Crawford and Hall
Caine respectively In each of these
Miss Allen found more than the ordi
nary quota of success and by those
who are entitled to express an opinion
The White Sister is full of possibil
ities for the actross that neither of the
two held
Shortly before his death Mr Craw
ford declared that the play was taken
from real life It deals with a girl
who while engaged to be married
feels it her duty when her liance is
ordered to the front as an officer in the
Italian army to let him go without
protest When she discovers his name
in a list of the killed she enters a con
vent only to find that the report was
erroneous
The lover returns There is a strong
effort on his part to induce the nun to
come back to him but she puts her
vows before her earthly love The
lover arranges to abduct her bringing
her to his room where he insists that
she shall sign a petition to the pope
asking for her release from her volun
tary obligations When she refuses he
threatens to kill himself and at the
of his i evolver she relents There
upon brought to his senses by her
heroic self sacrifice ho tears up the
paper By this time a jealous Avoman
has arrived on the scene to hint at the
nuns presence in the soldiers room
and to promise revelations that will
be exceedingly unpleasant And the
captain shoots himself to save the
womans honor
The Girl and the Wizard Sam Ber
nards new attraction lias been an
other one of the successes If viewed as
a play however it is a slight affair but
if it is viewed as a musical comedy it
takes high rank for it is that strange
thing a musical comedy witli a plot
ELSIE FERGUSON IN SUCH A IiITTLE
QUEEN
and a serious one The wizard is a
rich jeweler in the Austrian Tyrol a
noble hearted old fellow who has lav
ished his affections and his money on
his nephew When the boy reaches
the age of twenty one the jeweler pro
poses to take him into partnership
but there is a quarrel when the young
ster announces his intention of get
ting married
Before the jeweler has thought to
ask the girls name the boy rushes off
to enlist in the army and nothing more
is heard of him for six months Mean
while the uncle has been induced to
believe that the girl he himself secret
ly loved for years but has never dared
to tlream of marrying loves him
Her old rake of a father makes the
pretense for the purpose of getting
money out of the wizard and the mar
riage is about to take place when the
boy returns and the uncle learns the
truth that the girl really loved his
nephew and was being sacrificed by
her father He surrenders her to the
boy and the play ends
One of the most gratifying revela
tions of the season has been the dis
covery of Miss Elsie Fergusons tal
ents Miss Ferguson must win a dis
tinguished position Her performance
in Such a Little Queen is one of the
few thoroughly refreshing things on
the stage in New York at the present
time
