It is full of funny situations and there is not a dull second in it. Monday and Tuesday there will be a special attraction “The Vam- pire” in three reels, It is the story of a country youth who goes to the city to make his for- tune. An intensely exciting and realistic takes place in the third reel where the “Vam- pire Dance” is shown complete, Nothing at all like this has ever been shown here and no doubt the Westholme will be again crowded to its capacity on Mon. day and Tuesday.

Most of the gov- ernment newspapers emphasize }the danger which faces the party as indicated at Leith, which fol- lowing Bethnal Green, makes the seventh case in which the Union- ist has been elected by a minority vote. The Daily News says the remedy for the whole situation consists of proportional repre- sentation or the transfer vote on ballot. VITAL STATISTICS FROM GRAHAM IS.
