MUSIC AND DRAMA.
1eP. M.


For fortnight Mr.. Williams's compa-
ny have been rehearsing the new musical
comedy ''12 P. Mp at Portland Theatre,
and last night the piece had it's initial
representation. The house was packed.
notwithstanding the fact that an old-fash-
Toned southeastern was raging outside,
and the water falling in torrents.
A sketch of the piece published yester-
day, told in brief how the uncle of sew
eral young women had secreted will
which left large property to the girls,
and employed superstition as a weapon
to keep people away from the house
while, in the end, the girls by the aid of
newspaper reporter, got onto the little
racket and in turn put up a ghost job on
the old man and brought the old villain
to confess his wrong doing.
The first act is parlor scene in the
Bancroft mansion at Irvington on the
Hudson, and the second, the uncle's den
where trouble begins with the ghosts at
- p. m. The first act introduces the
various members of the family who as
semble to greet Jacqueline, Familiarity
known as Jack-Miss Jennie Yeamans-
who has just returned from school, and
includes Charlie Coleman of the Daily
Rooster, who has been sent thither by
his paper to ferret out the ghost mystery.
In this act there are some agreeable spec
ialties introduced by Miss Yeamans in
song and dance and a pretty either ac-
compartment to a baritone solo by one
of the Bancroft sisters; some clever imi-
tations of well-known actors by Mr.. ALI
Hampden, who is well known in Port
land and who was warmly received by
the audience; and good roundelay imi-
tation of church chimes by the compa-
| ny.
In the second act, which is the act of
the play, come in the supernatural feat
ures which are very cleverly managed
and which are decidedly novel. Miss
Yeamans has fine song and Miss La
Verde striking freely dance.
The play ranVery smoothly last eve
ming, and if applause and hearty laugh
ter are criterions of success, then "12 P.
NJ, should have a; big run. Almost all
the specialties were encored last evening
| and Miss Yeamans received superb
floral design.

1t is hardly necessary to say we were

We had imbibed the idea as firemen, in
our innocent simplicity, that water was
to be used principally to extngulsh

to whether Murad has ever been Sc

For, if the shicls III Islam were to de-

THE JEWS OF TOLEDO.
Descendants of the Tribe Who Voted
Against the CrucIlxion.

Descendants of tho Tribe Who Voted
Against the CrucInxion.
All around those ancient synagogues
arc the narrow streets inhabited by
lsraelites, says letter from Toledo,
Spain, to the New York Observer.
Their history in Toledo has been q sad
one. They lived there in great security
and prosperity in the reign of the NIoors,
but when the Christians took the city
their tribulations began. They were
taxed at thirty pieces of silver per head
that being the wages of the traitor,
Judas Iscariot. They only saved their
synagogues by curious affirmation.
They declared that their ancestors had
not consented to the death of Jesus
Christ. When he was brought to the
council over which Caiaphas presided
the votes were taken by tribes whether
Christ should be released or put to
death. One tribe voted for his acauittal.
and from them the Jews of Toledo have
descended. This, Jewish claim, with a
Latin translation of the Hebrew text,
is preserved in the archives of the
vatican. But their memorial did not
save the Toledan Jews from persecu-
ton. In 1889 their market, which was
near the cathedral, was suppressed; in
l454, at the instigation of San Vicente
Ferrer and Santa Maria Blanca, their
synagogue was taken from them. in
400 the Christians, plotting the further
oppression and robbery of the Jews,
circulated story that Juan Passa-
monte, a boy of Guardia, had been
stolen, crucified, and his heart pre-
served as 4 charm against the inoujsi-
ton. In l47s every Jew who would not
be baptized was put under the ban, and
when the inquisition was established at
Toledo 1900 Jews became good
Catholics at a stroke. In 1902 every
unbaptized Jew was compelled by
Ferdinand and Isabella to quit Spain,
and more than 10000 were cruelty ex
PEELED, choosing banishment and the
loss of all things rather than to become
false to their faith. Persecution by the
government is ended in Spain, and
Jews may worship when and as they
choose.
