DRAMATIC GOSSIP.

Theatre gOers should not lose sight
of j. X. Emmet's engagement here
Thursday night in "Fritz in Ire
land" An exchange speaks of the
play as follows:
"Fritz in Ireland" loses nothing
by age. Its charms seem to increase
until season, without its produc-
ton, would be considered incom-
plete. J. X. Emmet's coming will
be eagerly expected The desire to
see the successor of the great Fritz"
dead and gone, has crowded the
theatres in every city in which he
has appeared. His rendition of the
part has met with the most flatter-
ing comment. To a graceful figure
he adds voice of exquisite tone and
sympathy, and in all respects shows
his capability as the successor of
his father. The play itself is excel
lently staged, new scenery having
been painted expressly for the pres
ent tour"

MARTNsBuRe, W. Va, Aug. 6.-The
Berkeley County Institute was brought
practically to close as nothing re-
mains on the program but examina-
tions, and part OF them were gotten
through with this evening. In the
morning professors Miller and Wade
and ex-Superintendent Dodd made ad-
dresses on various topics embracing
general school work. A board OF exam
iners were appointed, composed OF Il.
W. NJ. Tabler, j. w. P. Evans and p. T.
Keeseecker.
William Grim, j. W. schirley, A. NJ.
Graham and A. w. Smith and Lee siler
were appointed n committee to draft
resolutions commencing the action Of
the last Legislature. 1t applied to the
changes in the school law, especially
the amendments relating TO new
branches and examinations, recon-
mending that teachers be paid at least
one dollar per month for each new
branch added to the free school course,
including the graded institute course,
and should also be secured tenure OF
office commensurate with the certificates
granted at examinations. The resolu-
lions arc complimentary to the efficient
work Of the retiring superintendent, d.
H. Dodd, and rendering vote ofthanks
to the instructors, Professors Miller,
Wade and Crago, for the excellent and
instructive manner in which they con-
Quoted the institute. Professors Wade
and Miller returned this evening to
their respective homes at Morgantown
and Fairmont, and Professor Crngo left
for few days sojourn at Mountain Lake
Park. All are strongly impressed
with their intellectual abilities and
methods of conducting the institute.

BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug. 7.-Inquiry
at the hotels fails toreveal the presence
of either ex-Collector Erhardt or DR..
Baldwin in Bar Harbor. Inquiry at the
Blaine cottage elected an absolute de-
nial of any knowledge Of the immediate
whereabouts Of either Of these gentle
men. Mr.. Blaine refuses to see any one
who comes upon u political mission, or
to talk politics at all. Therefore it is
exceedingly doubtful il he would see
Collector Erhardt should he come. DR..
Taylor, Mr.. BIAine's physician, says the
report that Mr.. Baldwin was sent for
is absurd and untrue. There is no need
for seeing him professionally as Mr..
Blaine has no need OF a physicians
services, except to guide and restrain
him from too much exertion. He Is
gaining constantly, and his progress Is
all that could be expected.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va, Aug.
1.-THE large ballroom was elegantly
decorated to-day upon the occasion of
the Mary Washington ball, which was
one OF the most brilliant affairs occur
ring here for many years. The
ball was given as compliment to
Mrs. Roger A. Pryor and for the fund OF
the Mary Washington Monument Asso-
citation, OF which she is one OF the vice
presidents. Through the courtesy of
Governor Hill, an official flag OF the
State OF New York was sent to Mrs.
Pryor, and the Governor fthe State OF
Virginia sent the colors Of the Old
Dominion to blend with those OF the
Empire State. Great enthusiasm was
expressed for this graceful compliment.
Mrs. Pryor led the opening march
with Ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee. She
was attired in costume which was q
faithful reproduction of that worn by
Mary Washington ut the yorktown
BALI given after the surrender in
fredericksburg. The kerchief, reticule
and fan worn BY Mrs. Pryor were lent
to her by members OF the Fredericks-
burg Monument Society, and had been
worn by ladies who had danced with
General Washington at the Fredericks-
burg ball.
The guests of White Sulphur Springs
were dressed in antique costumes, with
powdered hair, &c., and the scene as
they followed Governor Lee and "Mary
Washington" in grand procession was

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 7.-The Sec
retary OF the Treasury has been advised
that a bold attempt would be made dur
ing this month to rob the treasury by
a "stong and determined band Of men
organized for that purpose" The plan
is TO start fires in various parts OF the
city for the purpose Of dfverting the
attention Of the police and then over
power the treasury watchmen and loot
the money vaults. The information
was given in letter signed by the
"King OF the Tramps," who explained
his knowledge Of the plot by the state
ment that he was leader Of the band.
The letter was referred to the captain Of
the watch with instructions to give the
visitors proper reception.

NEw YoRK, Aug. 7.-Counsel for II.
Myers & Bros, of Savannah, Ga, have
obtained from Judge o'Brien, OF the
Supreme Court, injunctions against the
Merchants National Bank, against
Abraham Backer and his assignee, Ben
jamin F. Einstein. The Merchants
Bank is enjoined from disposing Of six
hundred bonds Of the Savannah & At.
lantic Railway Company and note OF
the Mucage Real Estate Company, OF
Columbus, pledged with the bank sy
Backer. Tie Central National is re.
strained from disposing OF 1888 shares OF
the National Bank OF Savannah, also
pledged by Backer. The cases in which
injunctions were granted to-day show
strange conduct on the part Of Abraham
Backer, who failed for 100000, and
gives the currency to the rumor that
criminal proceedings may be taken
against him.
1t appears that Myers Brothers, Of
Savannah, were in the habit OF sending
Backer notes to be discounted. Some
times they sent collateral and some
times they did not. They sent him
notes aggregating more than 81, 900, and
sent him the bonds, notes and stocks,
worth So, 600, mentioned in this suit as
collateral. Instead OF using the collat-
eral, he had the notes discounted on the
strength of the Myers Bros. credit. He
informed them, II is ayerred, that the
collateral was pledged for the discount.
He, however, pledged the collateral in
his own account, and perfected the pro-
ceeds. Myers Bros! must therefore pay
their notes, and in order to get back
collaterals must pay also the sums Sc
cured bo Backer on them.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7-capt james Z,
Stuart yesterday arrested Henry E.
Barlow, mail carrier Of the Chicago
Postoffce, who has been robbing the
mail OF Montgomery, Ward & Co. for
the last year.
Lapp & Flershom, Montgomery, Ward
&C.,, the Chicago Supply Company,
and number of other local business
houses have complained for many
months of the loss OF mail. The Post
Office department was set to work
about eight months ago, and every de.
vice employed TO ferret out the thief
and etop the leakage, but the work met
with no success.
Recently list Of 500 or more postal
notes, which were sent to Montgomery,
Ward & Co., but never received by
them, was given to Captain Stuart.
The number Of these notes were sent to
the Department Mt Washington, and
the chief Of the Department there fin.
ally concluded that q man who signed
"Jamss Z. Black" James A. Blotten,"
and James A. Rlce," was the person
who was causing Montgomery, Ward &
Co. all the trouble.
After a long search through the books
1t was discovered that these orders were
being cashed by the Chicago Postotiice.
Capt. Stuart then took all the clerks IN
the postal note department into his
confidence, and instructed them when
any person signing the names of Biack,
Rice, or Blotten should present q note
to detain him.
The opportunity arrived yesterday.
Shortly before noon Mail Carrier Henry
Barlow came in fromhis second delivery.
He left his pouch in the carriers room
and slipped of his gray uniform coat.
Thrusting his arms into the
sleeves OF n black alpaca cont, he
walked out OF the room and down the
corridor to the postal note window.
He presented note for S4.90 from d
town in Texas. he signed James A.
Black" The clerk detained him, and o
messenger was sent for Capt. Stuart.
Just as Barlow was stutfing the money
into his vest pocket Stuart placed him
under arrest.

was simple. The letters which con-
tained money-6rders, drafts, or checks
were destroyed, us only postal notes
we're Of any use to him. When he re-
turned to the PostotFice he would have
the notes cashed. This system OF steal
ing he practised daily for year, the
notes ranging from 81 to s.. The loss
Of the money was not SO difficult Tor
the firms to bear as was the fact that
their business was demoFalized. Thou
sands of letters which did not contain
postal notes were destroyed, and all OF
them contained orders for goods.

The Well Known Pittsburgh Shoe Manu-
facturer and Bank President confesses
Judgment to His wife and Drothers.in-
Law to Cover Endorsements.
Pl71ssuRou, Pa, Aug. 7.-Business
and financial circles were startled to-
night by the report that W. E. schmerts,
the most extensive shoe manufacturer
in this section, and the head OF several
financial and mercantile institutions,
had failed. Upon investigation 1t was
found that he had confessed judgments
aggregating S93S,000.
The first judgment was in favor OF
Wm. Loeffler, his brother-in-law and
was for SlOO00O. This was filed in the
afternoon, but this evening the follow
ing other judgments were entered: y.
NJ. Quimby, $5S,994S; W. G, Taylor, S3O,-
4S0 and Amelia A. schmertz, So4,39O.
Quimby is also a brother-in-law and
Amelia Schmertz is his wife.
The cause OF the failure or the Iiabiti-
lies codld not be learned tonight, as
Mr.. Schmertz. is seriously i'll at his home
and could not be seen. The other parties
interested refused to give any iatorna-
tion. Mr.. Loetf1er stated that the iudg-
ment to him was issued to cover in
dorsements made by himself and r, O.
Schmertz & Co., and to protect him as
surety on a bond given by W. Z.
Sbhmer.z as guardian OF the children
OF R. @. schmertz, deceased.
There was no connection, he said, in
business between R. O. schmertz & Co.,
the glass manufacturer, and w. j.
Schmertz, Mr.. Schmertz is
president OF tho Third Ma
tionai Bank of this city, president ol
the Chamber OF Commerce and mem
Der OF the Nations. Bankers Executive
Committee. His credit was rated with
Dun 4 Co. rs high. with from 500 OOO
to $4,000 capital. Among outsiders
his embarrassment was attributed to
the heavy decline in natural gas stocks
and the failure Of several shoe concerns
in the East and here. Thosew who ought
10 know say the failure will in no wise
affect the Third National Bank.

On American Imports from Germany-Thc
First Half Year Shows Decrease.
Berlin, Aug. 7.-Consul General Ed
wards has just finished his statement
showing the value OF the declared ex-
ports from the Berlin Consul's jurisdic-
tion to the United States during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1891.
The total exports from the Berlin
consular district during the year ending
June 50, 1901, amounted to $50, 7j3, POI,
as compared with S66, ,056, ,0S7 OF the pre-
ceding year, thus showing decrease OF
nearly S8,500,000.
In the Frankfort consular jurisdiction,
plate glass, window and mirror glass
also fell from over million dollars in
1900 to 100000 in 1891. Americal i'm
ports from southern Germany SlS5, 900
worth OF hair and over $500, 900 worth Of
hops. The latter article has increased
about SO per cent this year. Iron ware
steel and cutleryhave fallen from 81 ,640,-
1884 to 500, 1856 ,02 It decrease OF nearly
so per cent. OF wines, brandy, beer
and LIQUORS America took during last
half year S725, ,469.53 worth.
From this mass of figures 1t Is, how
ever, next to impossible to draw any
definite conclusions as to the workings
and elects of the Mckinley bill. In
anticipation of the passage Of the Nc
Kinley bill heavy shipments Of all
kinds Of goods were rushed across the
ocean IN d the American market was
ovorstocked, and in consequence the
first wear OF the bills existence will
show a decrease in exports from Ger
many to the United States. This pre-
vents the possibility Of judging the
effects OF the bill this time.
