The great Swedish dialect comedy,
"Ole Olson" is to be seen at Harper's
theatre this evening. "Ole Olson" is q
bright and intelligent young fellow with
the kipdest o: hearts. OF course his ef-
forts to master idiomatic English keeps
US in a roar. but it is all good, wholesome
and hearty laughter. with none of the
lowering and brutalizing effects common
to great number of the farce comedies
of the day. Our play goers will be de-
lighted to learn that "O,e Olson" will be
presented at the theatre tonight and by
one of the best companies that will visit
the city this season. For two years past
the band has played "Ole Olson" which
means this uproariously funny comedy
has been a great popular success. The
novelty Of the Swedish dialect appeals to
fun lovers and the excellence OF the COM
pany Of comedians who are to present it
will most certainly fill the house. In the
cast will be seen pretty little Lottie

pondent Of the Central News" sends an
account of the arrest of Francis MacNutt
United States Secretary of Legation un.
der Minister Grubb, and, since the lat
ter'S departure, United States Charg'
d'AHaires. The correspondent tried ia
send the account by telegraph on Satur
day, but the censors, both in Madrid and
San Sebastian, refused to pass it.
On Friday, while out walking in San
Sebastian, Mr. MacNutt entered public
room, but found it so offensive that he
retired from it at once. As he stood out
side detective in plain clothes came UP
and reproved him for his conduct, Mr..
MacNutt excused himself on the plea that
the room was unbearably filthy. The de-
tective replied impudently, and demanded
Mr. MacNutts name and address. Think
ing the man a swindler, Mr.. MacNutt re-
fused to give either.
The detective then approached him
menacingly rs if to strike him. Mr.. Mac
Mutt then struck out, knocked the deteo-
tive down and then drew his revolver.
The detective shouted for help, several
policemen responded, and Mr.. MacNutt
was arrested, making no resistance. At
the police station he presented his card,
explained who he was and demanded that
the keeper of the hotel where he stopped
be summoned. The police jeered at him
and refused to consider his request.
The warden then led him to a large cell,
full of thieves, tramps and drunkards and
locked him in it. On the way to the cell
the warden struck him three times and
after getting him inside, dubbed him
severely. After two hours confinement
Mr.. MacNutt was released The warden
refused to apologize and gave Mr.. Mac
Mutt to understand that he might con-
slider himself lucky to get away so soon.
As soon as news of the affair reached the
Foreign Office the Minister called upon
Mr. MacNutt and offered full satisfaction.
The detective, the warden and two police
men were dismissed. Mr.. MacNutt, upon
learning that one of the soldiers had a
large family, requested that he be rein
stated, and this was done.
Among the persons who have heard OF
the affair there is only praise for the good
sense and moderation shown by Mr.. Mac
Mutt Every effort is made by the au-
thorities and the members of the United
States Legation to hush the matter up.

subject,
