SULLIY.4N's NEW PLAr.
1t VIII Be Corher, with Lots of
C1inaxes In II,

In u talk with a Boston newspaper
man, last Sunday, John Lawrence Sulli-
van gave the following sketch of the
new play which Il. Il. Rice is writing
for him:
"lts no comedy, for I'm fond of
heroic parts, and I'll he the star in this
play. I'll be Captain EIarcourt BY name,
and my duty will be thwart the plans Of
couple OF double-dyed villains who
are intent on running sporty old chap
named Overton. In the second act
there's to be game of football between
college teams. In Connecticut Yale
will win and in Boston well send lIar-
wards colors to victory. Over in Jersey
the orange and black boys will carry off
the honors. Well, these villains put UP
II job to poison the captain OF the team
on which old Oyerton has bet his for.

There's II whole lot of other schemes
which | will have to upset. When it
comes to the last act old Overton bets
his lands and everything he has on
earth on an unknown to fight q man
whom the villains have selected. Over
tons unknown doesn't show up. The
old boy is having Il succession OF fits and
is about to forfeit all his money when |
land on the scene. ask what the
matter is. lie tells me. The villains
will give him five minutes more to pro-
duce his man. Overton's in a bad stew.
Finally toss him over big bundle OF
money and say: go and Bet them to
a standstill.' This knocks the Villains
silly. They ask who Overton's un-
known is. Then | walk down the stage
and say: Il am. The tight takes place
and | win. This makes me solid with
Overton, and | effect reconciliation
between the old boy and his son, whom
he has discarded. Everything winds ur
all right. Oh, there's lots Of other

added. "Just wait until you see IT,"

SENATOR GRAY OF DELAWARE.
A Conspicuous Democrat In the
United States Senate.


a Man of Influence, but of Rare Mod
esiy, Whose Counsels Can DO Trusted
His Opinions on National subiects--
Personal characteristics and Family
Relations.
4. G. Crawford Ia New York sun.
Senator George Gray of Delaware is
one Of the most conspicuous of the
conservative leaders ON the Democratic
side Of the United States Senate. No
one among the senators, not even Mr..
German, has more influence; there is
no one whose counsels are more trusted.
Senator Gray is in many ways q very
remarkable man. He possesses a quail
ity almost unknown in public life, that
is modesty. He is fonder OF advocating
for preferment the merits of his friends
than of speaking for himself. do not
now recall ever having seen pub
llshed interview with Senator Gray.
Notwithstanding this retconce upon his
part he is very conspicuous in debates
and in the private counsels of the party,
and there is no one who has more force,
greater sagacity or prudence.
The senator has been lately tho sub
ject of consideration by eastern Demo-
Gratis looking for an available man at
Chicago, in the event of the convention
going outsideio what is called in politi-
cal circles 'a dark horse.n None of the
eastern or southern Democrats take
kindly to the idea Of Governor Boies of
Iowa, or any eastern Democrat who has
been named. The speculation which
has turned for the last few days around
Senator EtuV pf nplnWnra hna ronn
from people who fear that it will be
necessary to go outside of any Of the
lines OF combinations now laid down TO
find candidate who will be free from
combinations, who has not been SO
active in politics as TO have made bitter
enemies, while at the same time he will
have the necessary knowledge VI public
affairs and u record for tried ability
which will satisfy the requirements Of il
national candidate of great purity.

a Cat Isaising Young Chickens.

BELAIR, MD, june 22.-Mr. james
Forwood, Of Darlington, Hartford
county, has cat which has developed
an interesting trait Being kittcnless,
she adopted as her own brood Of
motherless young chickens, which come
to her when She purrs and follow her
around. When any of the brood stray
into neighbours premises, the cat fol-
lows, and picking each chick up care
fully by the bacl, Of its neck, deposits it
safely on its owners premises Calling
the chicks to her the cat lies down and
hovers them as tenderly and carefully
as their feathered mother would have
done. Being permitted to remain in a
box with them one night the cat ac-
cidently smothered one by lying on it.
Since then Mrs. Forwood has fastened
up the chickens, excluding the foster
mother. The latter news piteously in
front Of the box for her charges. The
chicks appear to accept the situation,
and are thriving.

CHICdGO COR.NORdNTS.
Taking Advantage of tho Convention to
Elnena NisiInrs.


CHICAGO, June 22.-Shortly after the
arrival of the Pennsylvanians a healthy
and vigorous Kick against what they
term Chicago highway robbery methpds
went up from their ranks. Most of them
had engaged quarters at the sherman
House and to that they repaired When
they ascertained that in some of the
rooms eight men were expected to lodge,
and the rooms are by no means large at
that, and that each man is expected to
put up for such accommodations the
sum Of $3.50 a day or at the rate of 800
a day for each room, y howl Of indigna-
lion went up, and for while there
We're indications Of small sized riot.
After discussing the subject, about IS
or 100 of the visitors took up their grip
sacks and quietly shook the dust vi
that hostclry from their shoes. They
scattered about among the other hotels,
and the Sherman has not filled the
rooms that were expected TO be occupied
by the Disguised Pennsylyanians.
DRINKS COME MON.
Two Philadelphians had an amusing
experience AT one of the hotels on tic
lake front. About 10 o'clock they
sauntcred into the barroom of the estab.
lishmcnt, and after disposing of bover-
age apiece-whisky straight, apoll-
naris on the side--the treater was taxed
the usual figure, 20 cents for the two
drinks. Twenty minutes later the gen
tlcman who had just drank at the ex
penso of his friend desired to return the
compliment They repaired to the
same barroom, had the same drink and
were astonished to lind that the price
had risen to 40 cents. They oxpostu-
lated, but were told in blunt terms that
the increase had been ordered by the
proprietor of tho hotel 10 minutes be-
fore. The spirit Of cupidity is notice
able in the restaurants, where prices
have been marked up so per cent for
the express purpose of bleeding the CON
ycntion visitors.

she was in position more cruelty Try

have been the outgrowth of any series
OF episodes to which the fact Of her
fathers murder and the attendant cir
cumstances could have given birth.
Marion Oakburn feared Judith Kredce:
there could be no doubling that.
But why did she experience this
terror?
Only the guilty fear, it is said, and

raveling the mystery of John Oakburn's
fate, which he had undertaken with all
his heart.
On the evening following the murder
Marion was closeted in her sleeping
room. She had turned the key in the
lock, and she believed the door was Sc
cured.
With trembling hands, she unlocked
and opened trunk, lifted out the tray,
and removed the contents of the re-
ceptacle beneath it until the bottom of
the trunk was reached, and a strange
looking pistol Of large caliber which
was concealed there was disclosed to
b er view
Marion shuddered as her eyes rested
upon the deadly weapon.
Il dread to touch it, and yet it must
be gotten rid Of, she muttered.
The next instant q startled cry eS-

on her shoulders, and through her mind
darted the appalling thought:
The secret is discovered! All is lost"
