building.
They began housekeeping at 10 Laks
place. and had not as yet completed Its
furnishing when the events transpired
which ended yesterday noon in the tragedy.
| On Wednesday it was also noticed that

were not mailed, and after the tragedy
they were found and upon being opened
were found to be farewell letters, one Of
which was written to the business partner
of her late husband, the second 10 hel

Superior Court-Crl minal Side-J udae
Prentice.
In this court yesterday Judge Prentice
deferred sentencing Michael Keens, con-
victed of arson, until next wesk. At the
afternoon session Attorney Green argued
his motion for stay of judgment in the
Keena case. Judge Prentice said he would
deny the motion, but would not sentence
Keens just yet, and would give the counsel
time to perfect an appeal. He would not
be disposed, in any event, to grant the
prisoner bail. The ground of Attorney
Green's motion is that in the complaint
Keena was accused of setting FIRE to the
dwelling house of John Byxbse, when in
reality Mr.. Byxbse never lived in the
house, though he owned 1t.
The case of Thomas Shortell was contin-

Blount's case.

he knew was worthless. The check was

Theatre-goers have lately been harrie4
by the efforts Of playwrights. or rather not
playw rights but thinkers, who have fois,e,i
upon them what has been known as farce
comedies. This vas merely hodge podge
with the songs and dances strung together
upon very flimsy thread and while it
was not exactly that class of entertainment
which was wanted, for if one had seen
either of these so-caIled farce comedies
they had seen them all. as if any author
had caught a new idea which had been put
into his production, the others immediate
ly followed his example and the re-
suit was that all fsrce-comedies
were alike. The natural consequence of
this too-much similarity led managers to
look around and in their endeavors to please
the public fancy, produced instead of farce
comedy which had no plot to speak of,
farcical comedies which owe their success
to continuity of plot, to bright dialogue and
to amusing situations. One of the best ex-
amples of this style of entertainment is said
to be 'Incog," Mrs X. Pachecos amusing
play which Mr.. Charles Dickson will pre-
sent at the Opera House on Thursday, April
u. No better play of this kind has been
written if the praise of the press which has
been bestowed upon it can be believed.
