statement from Campbell Il Schoolcraft that
he (RoyalI, trustee) had bought 5000 con.
sols and 1900 1O.40's. l made no appeal
to him for assistance. My acquaintance
and association with him would not
have justified it. On the 9Th November

craft wanted money 10 keep the bonds from
being sold, and gave me written notice
from them to that effect. | gave Royal
$3.50. He gave Campbell IL Schoolcrsft

In the case. The only witnesses examined

HAZEL KIRKE.-It is fair to predict that
the presentation here OF this charming play
will be the great dramatic event at the
Theatre this winter. The play itself Is now
enjoying one OF the most popular runs ever
recorded In the theatrical world. Speaking
OF Ii, a welIknown authority on the drama
says:
"Men and women-aye, and young peo-
pie, toO-afe the better for an evening with
Hszel Klrke; and when they go home the
memory OF the love, sorrow, disobedience.
fidelity, skIlfully woven in the texture Of
the story, clings 10 them and gives them
food for reflection that cannot be other than
fraught with good results. Would that
there were more plays like Hazel Kirke, for
a man will gladly patronize the house to
which he can take his wife and daughters,
confident that besides being amused they
will be benefited as well. No one who has
seen Hazel Kirke will question the state
ments made"
To have this play presented by the origi-
nal Madison-Square Company, which has
been called company OF stars, and then,
too, mounted with an elegance OF scenery
and stage-setting far beyond what our Thea
tire Is wont to exhibit, are points OF excel
Ience that will conspre TO make this a rare
occasion.
The sale OF seats was quite spirited yes
terday, and it Is probable that by this eve-
ming every seat for the first night will be
taken.
