SMACKS OF THE CHINESE.
Mr.. Gunter's Idea of Making "Potter Of
Texas n Two-Night PLAY.

Texas" Two-Night Play.
Archibald Clavering Gunter, the author of
Mr.. Potter OF Texas" which has been dram
atized, has conceived rather novel idea in con-
nection with the production, the contamination
of which would have begun a new era in theat-
ricals in America; i. smacks somewhat u the
Chinese, if one wishes to trace the inspiration
to possible source.
The story of Mr.. Potter of Texas" opens in
Alexandria. Egypt has been particularly gen.
erous to Mr.. Gunter and that author has made
good use Of the advantages offered. This land,
fraught with superstitions and race prejudices,
has furnished material which Mr. Gunter has
nodded into two of his best characters the
Corsican in 1.-TWO Nights in Rome" and old
Tomasso IN '.Mr Barnes of New York" In
Mr.. Potter of Texas Mr.. Gunter borrows
FROM the Egyptian Niccovie and he makes OF
him worthy illustration of the race. The
bombardmeE of Alexandria il a lurid piece of
word-painting. and offers excellent opportur-
ity to Mr.. Gunter a dramatist for u charac-
teristic climax. In fact. the scene in Alexan-
dria has in its composition, the author thinks,
sufficient material for drama 1t this
fact which led Mr.. Gunter to the thought of
devoting two evenings to the production of Mr..
Potter of Texas He had determined to de-
vote one evening to illustrating the scene in
Alexandria and the following to the rest of the
| story. This would necessitate issuing double
coupon tickets. making them good for admis-
sion on alternate nights.
The idea was submitted to Mr. Sanger and
was sufficiently considered by that manager to
induce him TO hold a consultation with Mr..
William Seymour. who has been selected per-
! sonally TO direct the production. 1t was at last
decided that the scheme. for the present at any
rate, was impracticable.

RICH BUT STILL A FORGER.
Death Of Wealthy Young Woman Who
Was q MOnOInaniac.

Miss Mamie Smith, a handsome young woman
of twenty-five years, was arrested in Denver
three months ago for attempting to pass
forged check upon one of the local banks
She was released on bail and remained there
pending her trial. Friday night, after a brief
illness, she died Of pneumonia. 1t is now
learned that Miss Smith was not compelled to
attempt the crime from necessity, but was a
monomaniac upon the subject of passing forged
paper. She had an estate in Louisville, Ky.,
valued at $4,000, from which she received a
monthly income OF :40O Miss Smith went to
Denver from Louisville three months ago. She
became acquainted with a family by the name
Of Ornauer. One day a policeman was sum
moned to arrest her for forging the name of

Papa Stearns Told Lucy to Stop Crying and Go
to Sleep-She Slept SO Hours.
The other evening Mr.. and Mrs George
Stearns of Philadelphia proposed to 60 to the
theater, intending to leave their only child,

Mr.. Stearns took the baby to pacify her. He
patted her and stroked her face, sung to her
and urged her to be quiet, without success.
His wife then called from her room: George.

Lucy sit up straight on his knee, shook his
finger at her, and then, as he stroked her FORE
head and eyes, said: go to sleep, Lucy, at

The child stopped crying instantly, gasped a
little, whimpered and sank back in his arms
fast asleep. At that moment the woman re-
turned and Mr.. Stearns gave Lucy to her. Hus-
band and wife went out, and returning were
delighted to learn that the baby was slumber-

night and the next day and on the following
day, when MIR. Stearns became worried and sent

Stearns by the shoulder, turned him to the

"H'm!" said the doctor, slowly. do you

eyes that are uncommonly piercing? Answer
me this: What are the circumstances under
which the baby fell asleep? Tell me everything

France and the Mckinley Tariff

France and the Mckinley Tariff.
Duting the course Of recent interview Gen.
adam E. King, the American consul general at
Paris, said that the opposition in France to the
Mckinley tariff act was decreasing. number
of manufacturers and importers in the United
States hurried up the French export trade six
months ago, SO that large amount Of goods
reached the United States before the Mckinley
act went into effect. This, said the consul
general, accounts for the decrease in the con-
sular business noticed for the early season of
the year. Nov at this and some OF the other
consulates," said Mr.. King, more business has
been done than during the corresponding
period of $780, The Mckinley tariff, accord
