TmR PLAY, "Hel9 by the Enemy
which viii be given on Thursday even
Ing, the first night OF the Keene Com.
pany's return visit, 10 piece which oil
Americans should see at least once In
their lives, as II Is written by an Ameri-
can, is founded on an American subject
and is one OF the few plays the action OF
which takes place entirely In America.
II Is replete with strong military situa-
tions and has predominant comedy
element which Is said TO be delicious. A
thrilling imitation of horse going at n
rapid rate Of speed creates intense ex-
element In the 3rd act and gives the
production semblance Of reality which,
according 10 the criticism OF an exchange,
Is truly wonderful. Mr. Harry + Keene,
the manager OF the company, Is an old
soldier, as Is also Silas Robinson, the
stage manager, both having been In the
entire service. The requisite experience
therefore for the successful production OF
military drama is not lacking, and ar
both gentlemen are enthusiastic men,

AT rHR SOLDIERS HoME.-A gentle
man has just received letter from an
Albany g A r man, who IL row

to Go can be performed In about one hour

say that like the place and u was In
Albany again. as was before l came
here. II would be long time before they
would get me here again. We have
enough to cat, diink and wear, but don't
like the kind OF society have to live In,
there Is too much beer and whiskey drank
here TO make IL pleasant for temperate
Inaa. The greatest amusement We now
have Is watching the Leauty bathe at the
beach. The ranchers are happy this year
there Is an abundant crop OF barley aud
corn promises big yield."-Telescope.
Foul PLAY CLAIMED.-At last there
possibly has been disc6 vered a clue which

q gentleman from near Gatesvilie the
Times learns that grave suspicious rs to
foul play are now entertained II Il claimed
that two men reluctantly consented TO as
sist In hunting Tommie Tucker, and that
they have avoided directing anyone to a
certain swamp IN the mountains where
shots from rifle were heard on the day
OF the young mans disappearance. A
company Of men will be organized ia a
few days to thoroughly search that part of
the swamp where Il Is supposed the body
Is hidden.
