THE
ONE WOMAN
APPEARED
"The One Woman." Was it the
name? the acting, or Tom Dixon,
Jr., that liolil the audience at the
opera house last night in a grip that
could not ho shaken off. In every
wont, in every lino, in every sen
tence, Dixon stands out preeminent

Dixon lias breathed his own force,
his own power, liis own magnetism,
Krom a dramatic standpoint It may
bo greater than "Thd Clansman," it
is a more Mulshed work of art, Its
Characters are not more powerful
but more artistic.

.No matter what may he said abottl
Torn Dixon no man can say ho Is not.
Sincere in his views, every word of
Inst night's play seemed to come
from the soul or its author what
his beliefs are, ho dares speak. "The
One Woman" Is a story of real life,
it3 characters are real men and wo
men and it has a mission to lill
Will it lill it?
To Austin Wold), as Marl; Over
man, ivoes the first honors of the
evening. Since ho last appeared hero
as Silas Lynch in "The Clansman,'
he has lost nono of his force, none
of his power, none of his art.
Lawrence Griffith, as Professor
Frank Gordon, a social dreamer,
showed rare talent in the imperson
ation of his part, his was a charac
ter of many parts running the whole
gamut of human emotions and ho
handled it well;
Leonora Von Ottlnger, as Kate
Hanson, an adventuress, handled her
part with eoinsummnto skill and her
every movement showed the finished
actress that she is.
Gretchen Dale, as Huth Spotts-
wood, "The One Woman," prayed her
part with a naturalness seldom soon
on the stage of a southern town.
Khe captured the hearts of her au
dience by her rare beauty and simple
unaffected acting. Dor voice is one
of wonderful sweetness and her im

fun making.
Kdwin McKim, as Morris King,
gave an admirable performance. He
has a strong flexible voice that seems
to make you feel the part he is por
traying. Charlotte Learn, as Sallie, the
Kid, captured the hearts of her
audience with her perfect imperson

young she showed a remarkable con

At the close of the third act of
"The One Woman" at the opera
house last night Mr. Thomas Dixon,
Jr., was called before the- curtain
by tne audience and mado a short
address. When he appeared on the
stage the audience shook the house
with applause and it Was several
minutes before ho cquld begin. Mr.
Dixon said:
"Ladies and gentlemen: 1 thank
you for your kind appreciation of
my play. 1 wish to express to you
my peculiar joy at revisiting your

"1 count it the highest honor of
my career that 1 have written the
iirst play in the history of America

been taken to stop it. Not because,
mark you, it is false or immoral, but
because it is everlasingly true.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can
not suppress the truth, even by the
unanimous vote of the city council.
'Uncle Tom's Cabin' has been
played for 54 years. More than one
hundred companies are now playing

TAUT'K SIILIIGHT TALK.
Truth Made Cuban Official Sit Up
and Take Notice.
An interesting sidelight on the
dramatic culmination of the recent
unpleasantness in Cuba is contrib
uted by Mr. Wiliiata inglis, special
correspondent in Cuba for Harper's
Weekly, in a vivid article in the Oc
tober 20 Issue of the Weekly. On
the evening of September 23 "om
inous dato 23" Messrs. Tart and
Bacon called at the palace. Presi
dent Palma and his cabinet wore
waiting in the red room. "Secre
tary Taft proposed that the presi
dent should remain in ollice; that
all the members of his cabinet should
resign; that now congressional elec
tions should be held forthwith, and
that the constitution should bo
amended so as to give autonomy to
Cuban cities. Mr. Taft's tone was
kindly, but there could be no doubt
of his firmness.
"Don Tomas Estrada -Palma lis
tened to the big American at iirst in
absolute silence. He could not be
lieve that this official, called in to
drive away the hated Azaldos, was
now proposing to drive away his own
officers leaving him, the president,
alone and helpless before the Cuban
people. For a time it seemed Im
possible for him to speak.
" 'I cannot accept this solution of
our difficulties, sir,' he said, his
voice trembling, but soon gaining
strength. 'We owe it to our patri
otism to stand Arm.'
" 'Mr. President,' urged Secretary
Taft, and his manner was that of a
lawyer seeking to convince a mis
guided client, 'there comes a time
when patriotism demands a sacri
tice'
" 'Mr. Secretary," the aged presi
dent interrupted, 1 do not intend to
take any lessons in patriotism from
you.' Then he remained silent,
overcome by emotion. Secretary
Taft made no reply to the angry
outburst.
"Secretary O'Farril, a small and
bitter man, had a speech to make,
and here was his oportunity.
"'Is it for this,' he cried, 'that
you Americans have come here'.'
We could have settled this matter
ourselves, put down the revolution
unaided. Yet you come here and
deal with men in arms against the
government.'
"Everybody knows, of course, that
the government could not have put
down the revolution in a hundred
years. Dr. O'Farril know this bet
ter, perhaps, than any one else but
he was busy about his honor, and he
must make a demonstration, so there
was no use in 'being concerned about
facts. But he was not to go with
out a reply.
" 'Such acts, as yours,' said Mr.
Taft, 'are killing the republic of
Cuba.' For ten minutes the big sec
retary related to the small and bit
ter man the facts he had learned
about fraud, violence and assassina
tion in the late elections Ho did
not devOte any time to essays abont
honor or patriotism, but he pointed
out the cold truth as to the elec
tions, and the truth silenced the

unnalistic
resented b:
leas are given as they are
himself and his follow
ers, with all possible credit for sin
cerity. The conclusion of the article,
as reproduced below, are unfavorable
to Mr. Hearst.
Mr. stefforts says:
W. It. Hearst is as hard to see and
as inexpressive as E. H. Harrtman and
Thomas P. Ryan, who, like, him are
mysteries. Hearst's self-reliance i3
theirs and their methods are his. He
us. s force, as they do, and the same
money, not tllegtmateiy, per
but as a substitute for persuas
larm, humor, pleadings. When
s starting his New York papers
somebody protested at his extravagant
methods. 'They may cost money,' he
answered, 'but they save time.' Thus
uses ithe money power aQ the
alis'ts do. And like them, he works
oly through agents who are men
is pay. He does not work with;
he lines hot support, as 1: Follette and
i'. Ik do, the other leaders of reform,
tic ilocs not know who they all are.
Mr. Hearst is net a part of the gener
al reform movement; he simply has a
movement oC his own. This isn't dem
ocratic, this is pluocratic: autocratic.
Mr. Hearst Is a boss. We need not
fear him because he has an organiza
tion of his own, for he proposes to
serve us in office where we can get at
him if be doesn't. Mr. Hearst is a
boss who would like to give us demo
cratic government, just as others of
his class would 'give us' colleges and
libraries and good, plutocratic gov
ernment, "But we don't want Mr. Hearst to
'give us' democratic government. We
don't want anybody to give us self
government. We want to get that for
ourselves. We must have leaders, but
the kind of leaders we need are men
who will not only lead us to restore
the democracy, but who will inspire
and foster in us the spirit that will fit
us to maintain it. For. after all. what
We are after is not democracy, but

The first big football game of the
season scheduled to be played in
IMchmond will be seen here next Sat
urday, October 2 7, 1900, when
V. P. I. will line up against, the Uni
versity of North Carolina. These
two teams have been playing against
each other since 1895, and since that
first game, when North Carolina ad
ministered a good licking to the
Techs, a strung rivalry has existed
between the athletic interests of the
two institutions.
V. P. I. this year has had rather
hard odds with which to contend in
whipping the team into shape. The
rain of last week almost stopped
practice entirely, as the Tech's field
is very badly drained and is hardly
hi even for the men of the gridiron
after a dwonpour. Then there were
only three of the old men back Dif
fendal, Cunningham and Nutter.
Miles, of last year's team, who has
been coaching, has, however, put in
some good work, and he has whipped
the team into fairly good shape. The
main strength is in the line, and the
backs are still weak, all the candi
dates being green men. Carpenter,
the redoubtable halfback of last year,
and one of the greatest in the coun
try, will be on hand this week to help
things along in the back field, and,
with his invaluable assistance, it is
hoped that the backs may be vastly
improved.
North Carolina has had much the
same to contend with, and the two
teams should be pretty evenly
matched. The Tar Heels are strong
in the line, but weak in the back
field.
Montague's Withdrawal.
V. P. I. has been seriously weak
ened by the withdrawal of Montague
from the team. He had been playing
quarter, and had developed into a
most promising man. The conse
quence was that Nutter had to leave
his place at half and go into quarter,
his place at half being filled by Lut
trell, about whose qualities there is
still something to learn. The other
half will probably be Hodgson, who
is also new in the position. Smith
is playing full, and there is little to
fear from him. He is a man of 190
pounds, and quick with his weight.
On the defensive he plays quarter,
and Nutter plays far back, and both
men are to be fully relied upon when
the other team has the ball.
The line is particularly strong.
Lawson and Johnson, 170 and 200
pounds, respectively, are ilaylng for
center; Varner and Cunningham,
each ISO pounds, are at guard; Dif
fendal, Branch "and Jones, 195, 180
and 170 pqunds, respectively, are out
for the tackles. The ends will be
Worthington and Grant, both fairly
good men and strong on punting.
Worthington weighs 165 pounds and
Grant 160 pounds. Nutter will play
quarter, with Connelly as substitute.
Gibbs will substitute for Smith at
full.
On the whole, V. P. I. has the best
material it has had in years. It only
needs training, particularly in the
back field. A week with Carpenter
should work wonders, and all eyes
are turning to him to help them out
of the difficulty. As it is, the Techs
are confident of victory in the game
next Saturday, and in the other event
North Carolina will find it a hard
problem.
Ton Years of Scores.
It may be of interest to know the
scores of these two teams Since they
first played against each other in
1S95. They are as follows:
189T, V. P. I., 5; N. C 32.
XS96 V. P. I., 0; N. C, 0.
1897 V. P. I., 4; N. C 0.
1598 V. P. I., 6; N. C.i 28.
1599 No game.
1900 V. P. I., 0; N. C, 0.
1 901 No game.
1 902 V. P. I., 0; N. C, 0.
1903 V. P. I., 25; N. C, 0.
1904 V. P I, 0: N C. 5.
1905 V. P. I., 35; N. C, 8.
Total V, P. I., 75; N. C, 71.
The game next Saturday will com
mence at. 3 o'clock. The halves will
probably be twenty-flye minutes paCh,
and the game should be one of the
best to be seen In Richmond this soa
