In an instant the flying sawdust will be

rescued from his horribly perilous position

Is a real man and Is In real danger. The
scene is said TO be the most thrilling ever
put on the stage, and n seems likely
enough that it is. Few women in the
audience can face the stage during the last
few seconds Of the mans peril. and one or
two have tainted under the strain. But
Mr.. Arthur's play Is not successful be-
cause OF this scene-it is successful because
the strong acting OF Bob billiard, Judith
Ber0lde, Jennie Yeamans aud the other
actors has such a good background.
The County Fair" like both of the
other plays, Is a simple story of the coun-
try-just what its name indicates. As in
THE Old Homestead" careful attention Is
given to details, but the realistic marvel is
in the last act. The whole house is sud
denly dhrkened, a clntter of hoofs is heard,
and when, an instant later, the lights are
turned on again three thoroughbred race
horses, with jockeys mounted. are revealed

They are really running, but they do not
vanish from the view Of the audience. The
same principle which is utilized in horse

They run upon great endless belts, which
are moved by electric motors, aud they
have to run, and run rapidly, too, to avoid
being carried of the stage backward. The

There was something very pathetic about

and the atmosphere of quiet sadness which
surrounded this interesting woman. Ones
heart is stirred TO sympathy for the young

effective because the lover shakes what
are apparently real apple blossoms from

LYNCH LAW IN CHINA.
a Supposed Incendiary Saturated with Oil
and Thrown Into "A burning Building.


A thief Of Ninghien, near Ningpoo
(province of Che-Kiang, Chlna), called
Dai-t'ow (scald head was robbing a
house recently in the village OF Chcng-
kiatunl where he was heard by an old
man left in charge of the place, the
owner and his wife being ut a party.
The carctaker went upstairs TO look,
but found no one, for the intruder had
hidden himself in the rafters of the roof.
The Waterman then proceeded TO treat
himself to solitary pipe and by some
mischance set fire to the house. The
building burned while the old man slept
on. and the thief came down again to
finish his work, but was alarmed at see
ing the flames, and was making the best
Of his way off, when he was caught by
the villagers. Unfortunately for him,
the fire spread until seventeen huts
were burned down.
The lynch law practiced in Chinese
villages is very severe on incendiarieS'
and in the minds of the villagers there
seemed no doubt that in Iai-tow they
had caught one, rcd-handed. His APP
peals for Justice or mercy met with no
response; they tied him hand and foot
with straw ropes, poured lamp oil on the
Door wretch. and hurled him into the
burning mass. where death after some
minutes put an end to his terrible sur
| fcrings.
