THE GREATEST POPULAR HIT
So far this season is Alabama" at the
Chestnut street Theater. The acting of the
veteran St0ddard. as Colonel Pc yton, is
gem in its Way and receives well-merited
recognition from the audience. Agnes
Booth plays Mildred Page in manner that
is charming. She retires from the stage at
the end of the season, and deep will be the
regretof the public, tor she has been faith
ful and sterling actress SO many years.
RICH AND HARRIS
OF Boston have added the Park and Walnut
street Theaters to their list of houses. They
took active control of the Walnut to-day
and presented 1.-The Country Circus" as
their inaugural attraction. The Park,
which is an uptown house. will fall into
their hands next week. The coming of Rich

hailed with great satisfaction, because it

Gang of Daring Waterfront Thieves
Arrested While at Work.
The bark Charles B. kenney, lying at
Mission No.:2, was boarded yesterday soon
after o'clock by trio of daring young
thieves who, according TO the preparations.
evidently attended to make a big haul.
They descended into the .lazaretto and, clos
ing the hatch behind them, set to
work to gather what they could lay their
hands on. One of. the crew of the bark
Harry N Morse, lying close by, saw them
board the vessel and notified Officers Me-
Gynn and O'Mally of the Ha, Dor Police,
who al once took. steps to secure them.
After boarding the vessel, the officers spent
some time iii locating the thieves, and, dur
ing the search, one Of the trio reached the
deck through the main hatch and made
break for the wharf, but was seized by a
young man on the dock, who turned him
over to the officers. After close search his
companions were found hidden in the hold
and placed under arrest They were taken
to the South Harbor Station with several
rolls of copper which they had tied up
ready to take out of the vessel. Thev gave
their names as John H. COlmer, Thomas Ma
guire and William Dougherty. They are well
known on. the water front, and have FREE
quently been arrested for petty crimes,
although none of them are over twenty
years of age. A charge of burglary WAS
entered on the register against their names.

Soulful Sentiments From the Santa Cruz
Sentinel.

Soulful Sentiments From the Santa Cruz
Sentinel.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel man got touch
of autumn weather in his head the other
day and this is how it affected him:
An Intoxicating balm permeates the at
mosphere. a dangerous Jingle thrills along
the nerves. Crisp sunshine bathes the land
scape. Companies of blithe meadow-larks
go fitting and caroing over the fields.
Pairs of blue-bird send forth their liquid
and plaintive MARBLE from the tops of the
fences. A belt of fog glitters like silver
fleece above the bay. An intensely blue sky
bends down and embraces all things like
heavenly benediction.
Brown, buxom and bounteous Autumn
leads gentle, blue-eyed Spring through all
the sylvan pathways and rural highway
and byways of Santa Cruz. October and
May have met and married each other be-
meath the golden-blue bower of Santa Cruz
skies.
