ALMY MAY PLEAD GUILrY.
1t Is Said He Will Confess His Crime
When Arraigned for Trial

1t Is Said He Will Confess His Crime
When Arraigned for Trial
PLYMOUTH, N. H., Nov. 16 1t is
positively asserted that Frank c. Almy,
charged with tho murder of Christie
Warden, will plead guilty when ar
raigned for trial on Tuesday. 1t will
then be for the court-Chief Justice
Doe and Judge Allen-to decide whether
his crime is murder in the first, second
or third degree. The State believes
that Almy's crime is murder in the
first degree, and the prosecuting officers
will do everything in their power to
prove this.
The question whether Almy's right
name is Abbott may or may not rise in
the proceedings. There would seem to
be no way in which it can come up
unless Amy himself should testify, in
which case the State would have the
right to endeavor to impeach his credi-
bility by showing that Almy and the
notorious Abbott are one. The burden
OF proof would rest on the prosecution.
Almy continues as solicitious as ever
to guard the character of Christie
from even the shadow of reproach.
Again and again he has emphatically
stated that under no circumstances will
| he speak an unkind word concerning
her, and that he would give up his own
life before doing so.
His motive for the murder may never
be known. He evidently is convinced
that his chance to escape from convic-
ton of murder in tho first degree from
a jury would be pretty small. The chief
justice is understood to be personally
opposed to capital punishment but
Judge Doe always decides cases accord
| ing to the law.

to the possibility of substituting alu-
minimum for steel and iron are not likely
to be realized, but that wonderful metal
is proving of great use in combination
with others, and the discovery of Prof
Roberts ]Smstcn may lead to the produc.

Joe Reagan Squared n Bill by Taking

Three Cattle Mems Lives.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 16.--A hor-
rible case of poisoning is reported from
Centrepoint, in Henderson county. Four
cattle drovers went to the house of Joe
Reagan to collect money due them
Reagan claimed that he could not pay
the money and asked them to give him
more time. They refused to do this and
told him if he did not pay at once they
would levy on his cattle.
This angered Reagan and he deter
mined upon plan to square the debt
and get in q deadly revenge. He in
vited the four men to remain for supper
and during the meal brought in some
white corn whisky, of which all par
took. The debauch continued far into
the night, and one by one the men fell
over into sleep from which three of
them never awakened.
Next morning the four lay stretched
on the floor of the dining hall. When
found Jack Baker, John Hoey and Sam
Wilson were dead and William Hagelin
was unconscious, but was afterward re-
vived. Reagan is under arrest. He is
considered to be partly insane.

play. But it is too soon to heave n sigh
of relief. The overture is prolonged
almost beyond endurance, and yet tho
leader gives no sign of stopping. Why?
Because Mt this late moment, the aisles
are filling with great big hats covering
little bits of heads; striking costumes
are parading to seats which ought to
have already been occupicd ushcrs are
rushing here and there, when they
ought to have been permitted to attend
rivals still come in, and the orchestra
toots. It has ceased to be music. 1t is
torture; and all because lot of ladies
wanted to come late, to show their
plumage and disport themselves before
an impatient audience. They are bor-
ing us. They win not q single plaudit.
In the gallery they are provoking COM
ments and criticisms which are we'll
timed, and ought to be whispered into
the ears of these disturbers of the pub
lie peace.
But, fortunately, all things have an
end, even that vanity of vanities, which
is all vanity, the display of dress goods
upon feminine backs; so the music
stops, and the curtain rises. Every
inch of the stage is visible from the
gallery. Every actor appears to good
advantage. Every lincamcnt, every
smile, every gesture, every information
seems studied for our especial delccta-
ton. The comments about me arc pro-
found. The actors arc compared, in n
learned manner, with others who have
appeared in the same parts during the
past twenty-five years. Three seats to
my left is Il little dried-up Briton, who
heard Macrcady Edmund Kcan, Cush-
man and the elder Booth. A mulatto
compares the star with e. l.. Davenport,
Edwin Forrest and John Mccullough.
1t grows more and moro interesting
see the players and hear the play me-
chemically. The running fire of com
mcnt all around me is more interesting
My tragcdian friend is right. The peo-
pie of the gallery have seen more, seen
more critically, understand better than
those pheasants and jays below us.
They applaud ut the right time; they
exhibit delight, impaticnce; they have
Missed once during the first act, and
they Kissed at the right time and at the
right actress. Those people on the
stage down there arc playing to the
gallery. They are looking mp, verify at
me and at my neighbors. Every one of
them is seeking the appreciation of this
old-time negro heaven" 1t is palpa-
bic as print; plain as monday sunlight.
Down in the orchestra circle they know
nothing of this. In the boxes they are
talking of society. The actors know it.
Only in the gallery is the play intelli-
gently watched, from curtain rise to
curtain fall. The audience is above.
The moncy-bags are below. The actors
arc playing to the audience, the real
audience in the gallery.
