George F. Train says he possesses the
power Of life and death, and says: All
my decisions have vanished, or rather
are concentrated in one, and that is that
at no late day my ideas will govern the
thoughts of all the people, and my will
control their action. When the stmos-
pheric changes going on make the coun-
try's mind sufficiently receptive as to
bring the people to my psychologist
plane, shall be forced, whether ] desire
it or not, to exercise the power know l
possess. a power far beyond Christianity,
in6delity, pagsniSp OF spiritualism."

MEMPHIS THEATER.- night the
legitimate drama was brought out, Mr..
Charles Pope. supported by the St. Louis
Olympic Theater Company, appearing
in the classical and biblical play entitled
Samson. This drama was introduced
into this country by the great Italian
actor, Salvini, who played it in Italian,
but yet his wonderful power, force and
fire, combined with statuesque acting,
created sensation and stamped him as
an actor of rare merit. In Italy and
in other lands on the continent OF Eu-
rope. biblical plays are not uncommon,
but in America they are novelties. The
text is full of familarities with sacred
persons and things which no doubt sound
strange and harsh to American ears.
The translation has been toned down by
Mr.. Howells, the playwright, and he has
preserved in a most creditable manner
the beauties of the original, which in
yariably fade in translation from one
language to another. The play carries
the audience back to the year lao, B. c.,
when the Israelites and Philistines were
striving for mastery. Mr.. Pope, as
samson, made quite az impression on
the audience last night, and his rendi-
ton of the cast was we'll received by the
critics. He has evidently made the part
a study, and sustains the character adj
mirably. Two years ago Mr.. Pope, then
one of the lessees of our theater, had oc-
casion to appear on the boards, and his
appearance was well received. In many
of the scenes Mr.. Pope is most effective.
The second leading part that of Deli
lab" was we'll sustained by Miss Lille,
who possesses 1.-THE and graceful form,
attractive face and well-modulated voice.
She is we'll up in stage business and
reads we'll Her gestures are appropriate
and pleasing; indeed, she plays the part
in a most creditable manner, showing
high conception of it, and in conse-
quence received as reward the APP
plause of the audience. The other lead
ing parts are prince Lameck and
"Melcs," which were taken by j. W.
Norris and Miss Charlotte Champion.
Miss Champion is an actress who has
long been on the stage, and is noted for
her dramatic power, which appeared to
no little advantage last night Mr..
Norris as Prince Lameck" did quite.
well, but occasionally lacked that force
necessary in the development of passion.
Take it all in all, Samson was most cred
itably performed and presented. The
scenery, costuming and appointments
we're appropriate and well presented.
Tonight Samson viii be repeated, and
on tomorrow night Mr. Pope will appear
as Belphegor," in which character he
made quite hit " last season

A Tennessee Criminal kidnapped
in Illinois,

CHICAGO, October lS.-Some weeks
since one Geo. W. Smith was kidnapped
from Massuc county, Illinois. 1t
va. alleged an indictment for murder is
pending against him. The attention of
Governor Beverage was called to the
matter, and he demanded Of Governor
Brown. Of Tennessee, the return OF
Smith and the arrest and delivery to the
State authorities Of the kidnappers, b.
K. Ward and NJ. Y. Williams. Governor
Brown has at last replied to the demand.
He reviews the facts in the case and sd-
mits that the action of the Tennessee
officials was without authority of law,
but hopes that inasmuch as Smith was
VIGOROUSLY guilty of murder, and that
as there was no intentional disrespect
shown to the authorities of this State,
Governor Beverage may find it conpat-
ible with his sense of duty to let the
matter rest as it now stands. This Gov
ernor Beverage is not willing TO do, but
on the contrary urges his demand for the
return Of Smith to this State and for the
arrest and delivery to the State authori-
ties Of the kidnappers. he says that
the guilt or the innocence Of the accused
is not in question; that the laws of Hi
nois provide for the detention for rea-
sonable time Of any person against whom
there is evidence Of liability for crime in
another State, and that the abduciors
had no authority or legal pretence for
their act. 1t is said that the atroeious
murder with which the prisoner, Smith,
is charged IS the killing Of man who
attempted to prevent his desertion from
the Confederate army.

Last week we were called upon to
sympathize with Garibsldi of the red

We we're told was extreme, aud now our
admiration is demanded for him in his

he has issued q manifesto requesting the

they should be afraid to tell the police
afterward if they know the murderers or
where they are to be found, argues some

CHICAGO, October 13.-Some weeks since
one George W. Smith was kidnapped from
Mossac county, Illinois, and taken 10 Tennes-
see, where it is alleged ne is under lndict-
ment for murder. The attention OF Cover.
nor Beveridge was called to the matter, and
he. demanded from Governor Brown, OF
Tennessee, return of Smith and the
delivery to the Illinois State auAhoritles
of the kidnappers, B. e. Ward and Nd.
L. Williams. Governor Brown mas ~
last replied to the demand. He reviews the
facts in the case, admits that the Tennessee
officials were without warrant of law, but
hopes that inasmuch as Smith is notoriousiy
guilty of murder, and that as there was no
Intentional disrespect shown to the authorl'
ties of this State, Governor BeVeridge may
find It compatible with his sense of duty to
let the matter rest as it now stands. This
Governor Beveridge is not willing to DO,
but, on the contrary, renews his demand tor
the return of Smith and for the arrest anu
delivery to the State authorities OF the
kidnappers. He says that the guilt
or innocence Of the accused is not in the
question. The laws of Illinois proyidefor the
detention, for reasonable time, OF any per-
SON against whom there Is evidence of lia-
biity for crime in another State, and that the
abdnctors had no authority or legal pretenee
for their act. 1t is said that the murder With
which the prisoner, Smith, Is charged is the
killing of O man who attempted t0 preVens
his desertion from the Confederate army.
