HOW II WAS SUGGESTED.
Il is said that the idea Of this play sug-
..gestei itself to the authors after having wit
Messed performance of Bronson HOWard'5
Henrietta" which Robson and Crane
made so popular. In that play, it will be
remembered, the weakness of fashionable
clergyman who perils the cloth by dabbing
in stocks i made a laughable impersona-
ton. 10 The Charity Ball'' the hero is a
fashionable clergyman whose nobleneSS Of
character Is constantly apparent end whose
greatest effort is to save an only brother,
Crazed with the ambition to become King
OF Wall street," from the degradation into
which that ambition Is forcing him.

THE ACTING
OF the piece may be said to be as nearly
perfect in all its parts as II could well be,
and whatever faults there are in construc-
ton, whatever slightly forced situations, or
attenuatiOns in the love scenes, were lost

company Of rare players met every occasion.

house with his father and after going
around in the shallow water jumped off into
place in the tank where it was six feet
deep. There happened TO be no one on that
side of the tank, but some boys from the
other side saw him jump in and as he did
not come up they gave the alarm. The
swimming instructor, Captain jack Will
Jams, was up on the balcony trying to keep
too many from getting upon the toboggan
slide at once and Immediately went down
below and diving brought the boy to the
surface. All efforts failed to resuscitate the
yonng man. His father summoned Mrs.
Marquand from Berkeley, but the parents
had to GO home and leave their boy at the

forward to the pit mouth for one

the scenes. Tears coursed down bronzed
and bearded cheeks and were dashed
away by brawny hands that had swung
the pick for many years. The rescuing
party proceeded with their grim
task, and the crowd of watchers silent

scenes which, once witnessed, remains
forever impressed upon the memory

Word has reached st. Louis stating
that the inhabitants of Naribille, a
small town near Lathrop, No, on last
Wednesday night, were terrible
frightened by a noise resembling the
continued roll Of artillery, followed by
a horrible, grinding crash, which seem
ed to tear the very earth asunder. There
was a very slight shock as of an earth
quake, but otherwise nothing resulted
from it. The noise was heard for
miles in every direction, but it
was not known until few
days later that the mystery was
cleared away. William Apperson found
that large bOwlder, which was on his
farm, had disappeared from its place,
and was crushed into small bits, which
were scattered over his farm for several
rods in each direction. IN the spot
where the stone had rested lay what
appeared to be a mass Of iron. The
body was oblong in shape, and had evil

It was composed Of three baggage cars,
three coaches for the mourners and an

people of all classes had regarded
him with high respect and true
esteem. His work had been
For the people. He had been "a

He was strong in Congress during the
war. He was prominent in reconstruc-

in the House of Representatives years
which covered the elimination of seces-
sion, the war for the union and the res
toratiOn and reconstruction period. He
was as influential for the twelve follow
ing years in the Senate. Two Presidents
had honOred him with the high position
of Secretary Of the Treasury. The
President and the members of his Cabi-

Ohio railroad station Friday afternoon
for the purpose of receiving the remains
Of Secretary Window. The remains

Mountain Mich, the largest and most
productive in Michigan, caught fire at
the sixth level, and at this writing the
fire has spread to an alarming extent.
and smoke is pouring from four Of the
shafts, and it is feared that serious dam
age will result. It is thought that
several miners of the day
shaft are underground, and
can not be rescued. They
have probably succumbed to the smoke.
How the fire started is not known. The
tops Of the shafts are being covered to
prevent air from entering the mine, and
it is hoped by this means to smother
the flames. At nine o'clock the fire is
still spreading, and all the shafts have
been closed down. There is no hope
of rescue for the eight entombed men,
whose names can not yet be learned.
The mine is situated in the
heart of Iron Mountain, and almost
the entire population surrounds the
opening waiting for some news from
the unfortunate victims. The Chaplin
Mine was the second largest ore shipper
in the Lake Superior district, having
shipped 100 900 tons last year. The
Vanderbilts were negotiating for its
purchase.
