=. Nature Wins

The st. Joe (NIo.) Herald saws: This
beautiful little comedy, written by Mrs.
Susa s. Vance, and performed at Tootle's
Operahouse last night, was a success in
every sense of the word. 1t succeeded in
drawing the most ~aristocratic full house
that has graced the operahouse for many
a year, and it succeeded most decidedly in
impressing the audience with the intrinsic
merit of the play, as well as with the
artistic MANNER i'll which it was rendered
If the Herald was to do full justice to the
acting, it would sound almost like fulsome
fiattery. Each one in the cast was ar
amateur, but one ignorant of that fact
would never have guessed it. Each part
was a finished and beautiful piece of act
ing and worthy of a star. 1t is very hard
to r~particulariZe when all were so good
Mr.. Crosby is always good. That is nc
news to his very many old-time admirer:
in st. Joseph. Miss Fannie Bayless, az
the neglected and deserted wife, as we'll al
the fond mother, was noble and grand in
J deed. Mrs. Vance has never actedin pub
lie more than half a dozen times, and YET
her amusing, brilliant and rollickins
rendition of the lovely, wild country
girl, was without doubt worthy of a Mag
gle Mitchell or a Lolita. She was as per
fectly at home on the stage as if she hac
had years of experience; indeed sht
seems born for an actress. She was ac
tually for the time the fair young country
girl of seventeen, both in manner and APP
%pearance. Mrs. Hope played her par
very charmingly. The love scene between
her (as louise and Mr.. Belts Ia.
Frank" the green country boy was on,
of the prettiest pieces of acting we have
eve seen. 1t was a very original ant
comic scene, but they both did full justic,
to it, and the audience was c~onvulseC
with laughter while it lasted. They sus
tanned their parts beautifully throughout
Mr.. Rusk as the old father was very fine
His e~locution was really grand. He is
wonderfully fine reader and a better selec
ton for the part could not nave beer
made with the whole of st. Joseph t,
choose from. Mr.. Delehanty, as tn,
handsome city cousin, made love SO beau
tifully and gracefully that he must hay,
had experience before, both in acting ant
real love scenes. The part of Crank Wal
lace" was well taken by Mr.. c. NJ. Belts
who played with an ease and life that gav'
a zest to each scene in which he appeared
Especially in the scene between 'Franl
Wallace" and "Louise," Mr.. Belts dis
PLAYED a combination of dramatic pow
ers, blending naturally the erotesque an,
the serious phases of a country boy
first love.

The most atrocious murder of the week
was that at q farm house near Little
Rideau, Ont, where, In fit Of passion,
Frederick Mann, murdered tour persons
and probably fatally wounded fifth. He

daughter Of the family in an upstairs
store-rOom adjoining the house, strangling
her with rope. Mrs. Cook, who went 10

barnyard, and killed him with an axe,
literally chopping his head to pieces.
Then entering the house he wen, Up stairs
To the room occupied by George Cook, who
was asleep, and inflicted two ugly and ia.
tai wounds in the temple with al axe.
Then rushing into the room of Willie
Cook he struck him on the thigh, infict-
ing n dangerous wound. the boy, al
though partially disabled, grappled with
Mann, and the noise alarmed his sisters,
Maggie ana FANNIE, anu brought them TO
his assistance. In the struggle which en-.
sued Maggie secured the axe. The muir
derer then seized lamp and struck Fan
ME with it, wounding her severely on the
head. Mann then ran down the back
stairs and the two girls, going down the
front stairs, met him in the dining room
He was armed with poker and attempted
to strike them with il, but they defended
rhemse'vc. and closed door on him.
Maggie then ran to the front door where
she hailed passer by who summoned AZ
sistance. Upon hearing Maggie crying
out for help the murderer fed and moth
ing has been heard of Ills whereabouts
since.
