AMUSEMENTS.
A NEW COMEDY.
In these days of degenerate comedy
farce it Is refreshing to come across one
that preserves fresh images and does not
depend upon vulgarity as its chief source
of amusement. Such a play Is “Charlev's
Aunt.” which will be presented here for
the first time tomorrow matinee and
night and Sunday night at the Grand
opera house. Sometimes a New York en-
dorsement is not all that it might be but
“Charley’s Aunt” had a prosperous en-
gagement at the Standard theatre. New
York and when It visited the other large
cities of the country it repeated its met-
ropolitan success. The piece is said to
be an admirable example of dramatic
constructioa.
FELIX MORRIS TONIGHT.
Omaha World: “Mr. Morris’ pathetic
passages are his best. They will be re-
memoered with the highest degree of feel-
ing. Many a man could have put into
life the amusing little major or the Eng-
lish country lout—not so artistically per-
haps. but acceptably—but it lies with the
few—such others as Willard with whom
It is a special gift—to present a picture
like that of the dear patient lovable old
musician without making the part a
damn one.
“Mr. Morris’ capabilities are known.
He comes resting secure on an earned
rather than an accidental reputation. His
versatility is very great his humor dry
and cheering as an October hearthplace
fire. His pieces too. are known for worth
and his engagement must be a strong
theatrical and social occasion.”

Republican League Club No. 12.
Address to Republicans of the 12th
District—Review of the Re-
cent Election.
Mr. President:
Your committee appointed to prepare
an appropriate review of the late political
contest beg leave to submit the following
report:
no. 12.
Republican League No. 12 Is a part of
the great Republican organization known
1 as the Republican League of the United
States the grandest social political or-
ganization ever formed in this country
its motto is: "Organization and Educa-
tion.” Under adverse circumstances “No.
12” has remained organized for the past
seven years and always ready to aid any
movement for the advancement of the
Republican party and tne good of the
people.
JUDGE NOONAN FOR CONGRESS.
The financial and business crisis that
followed the ascendancy of the Demo-
cratic party to power—the prostration of
the interests of our people in this section
in consequence of the free trade legislation
made an opening for a Republican cam-
paign in the 12th district if a candidate
could be secured who would command the
respect of the people. Judge Noonan was
spoken of but his almost positive refusal
to enter the arena of national politics
seemed to discourage all effort to secure
his candidacy. Republican League No.
12 determined to bring this end about;
resolutions endorsing Judge Noonan were
passed and the president of the club au-
thorized to address a circular letter to
well known Republicans throughout the
district.
The seed was sown that brought forth
abundant fruit. Judge Noonan became
convinced from the petitions and letters
that poured in upon him that it was his
duty to respond to the demands of the
people. A Republican convention was
held Judge Noonan was nominated upon
a straight forward protection sound
money Republican platform. The vital
interests of the people broke down party
prejudices and brought to Judge Noo-
nan's aid hundreds of men who had
heretofore voted the Democratic ticket.
Tne victory is a great one for this district
and will reflect credit upon our whole
state as an evidence of the independence
and freedom from political prejudice of
our people when confronted with condi-
tions that demand their attention. The
cheerful submission of the defeated par-
ties to the result is also to our credit as a
community.
THE BATTLE HUT HALF WON.
To our friends and co-workers in this
congressional district we send the message
that the battle for protection is but half
won. It will be two years before the
national administration can be changed
and the policy of the party in power re-
versed. The inevitable re-action from
such an overwhelming political land slide
will take place. To check reaction and the
undoing of the good work so nobly.begun
it is wise policy to begin now to organize
for ’96.
THE LEAGUE RECOMMENDED.
No form of organization presents so
many advantages as the Republican
League clubs by which we come in touch
with the great moving army that wins
Republican victories. We must be able
convince our political allies that we
possess the power of organization—that it
is safe for them to enlist with us in fight-
ing for the material interest of our state.
REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE UNITED.
In making the fight for Judge Noonan
the Republicans of this district presented
a solid front during the campaign. This
should be the order of things in the future.
As to our state organization theestablish-
ment of a League club in each county or
town would go far to solve the problem of
adopting some plan by which the intelli-
gence of the party could be brought to the
front and placed in charge of the party.
THE CENSUS PLAN.
The Republican League of Texas has
endorsed the census plan of representa-
tion as one that presented a plan that
would lift the party upon its feet. So far
this plan has not been put into practical
operation and its efficacy is untried but
the earnest patriotic men who have urged
its adoption deserve to be listened to; so
much absurd prejudice has been aroused
over the proposition to reorganize the Re-
publican party that any plan would be
opposed but this should not discourage
us.
REGRETS OVER THE DEFEAT OF FRIENDS.
To our Republican friends in other con-
gressional districts where they made
fusion with Populists and independent
Democrats in hopes to break through the
solid phalanx of Democracy we send our
sincere regrets over their defeat accom-
plished largely by treachery and deceit.
The returns however show a good
fight and encouragement for the fu-
ture. Once that the white voters
begin to allign themselves with the
Republican party in such districts
the policy of running straight Republican
candidases should be adhered to.
THE CLUB FAVORS STRAIGHT TICKETS.
As a League club it is our duty to en-
courage Republican tickets for every of-
fice and in every election and we know
of no better way to buildup the party
than by this policy.
YOUNG MEN INVITED.
The League particularly invites young
men to come into the organization and
take an interest in politlcs--they can per-
form no better service to their country
than by exercising in intelligent vigilance
over the questions of the day.
In conclusion we are constrained to say
that League clnb No. 12 feels a just
pride in its efforts to advance the cause of
the Republican party and we ask
all patriotic Republicans to join with us
in the good work.

New York Dec. 7. —The Knights and
Ladies of the “Round Table” which in-
cludes in its circle children in almost
every country in the world the member-
ship in New York city and Brooklyn
numbering 15.030 with about 250000 in
all the United States and Europe will
hold a mammoth round table meeting at
Sherry’s beginning today and contin-
uing until December 19 This event will
be as interesting as it will be unique in
that it will combine the featuresofa
fair and bazaar a promenade concert a
reception of celebrated and noted au-
thors a literary and industrial prize con-
test. a flower show and a Christmas tree
or festival. The affair has for its object
the replenishing of St. Mary’s Free Hos-
pital Fund of this city and the swelling
of the building fund of Rev. G. W.
Hinckley’s Good Will Farm In Maine.
St. Mary’s Free Hospital is one of the
foremost charities of the great metropolis
having for its object the treatment ami
cure of diseased and crippled children
and its work and influence are well
known. Good Will Farm while quite as
important a charity in its way. however
is not so well known. The Good Will
share of theJieaps of money which they
hope will be D«ft on the “Round Table”
in place of the exhibits of children’s
skill will be used to build an industrial
school on the farm. The fair will have
many little patronesses who are wealthy
and even titled but it is especially favor-
ed in being able to number among them
the girl Queen of Holland—Wilhelmina
Queen of the Netherlands according to
her title. She has been for some years a
member of the order having had her at-
tention called to it ®hen a little chapter
at Pittsburg named their branch of the
Round Table for her. She has sent her
portrait and will doubtless add some
especial work of her own before the fair
opens. Princess Stephain Pallavincia of
Bokocza has contributed a doll dressed
as a Hungarian peasant. In almost every
State of the Union hundreds of childish
hands have been fashioning bits of work
of their own for the fair. There are
children whose lives have been spent
among the palms of the Pacific Islands
in the capitals of Southern Europe or in
sight of the willow fringed canals of
musty Holland who hold in imagination
as vivid a picture of childish poverty as
misery in New York as those of our own
country whose home is in the mining
towns or on the huge farm-dotted prai-
ries of the West or even many of those
whose windows look out over New York's
own Central Park. Dolls which invar-
iably suggest to the little women of the
order the surest means of giving pleas-
ure either directly or indirectly to those
other girls the very deptli of whose
misery is measured by tbe lack so ofien
of even a doll to say nothing of the
paucity of wardrobe whicli afflicts the
diminutive sharer of her ambitions

gor. Mo. and is worth $2500. Other

exhibit will be its distinctive American
character The great feature of the en-
will be the reunion whereby it
is proposed to give the children a chance
to meet and greet the writers of the sto-
ries that interest and influence them
during their youth and the acceptances
thus far received indicate an unusual
gathering of writers of juvenile books
and assures the success of the enterprise
beyond all doubt. Among those who
