"rhe Silver King"

The ever welcome "Silver King" will
be the attraction at the Grand Opera
House, this evening "The Silver King"
contains an honest. wholesome story, not
destitute of surprise or intrigue; the
interest is sound and progresses step
by step and stage by stage. The writing
or literature OF the play is graceful and
forcible, pOetical aud witty Though the
play at times deals with low life. 1t
never descends to the vulgar. There
is something in 1t TO make people laugh.
Carl A. Haswin, who has played the role
of Wilfred Denver almost since its origi-
nal production has surrounded himself
with an able company OF plA yers and an
almost perfect performance is promised.

4 BURGLAR TRAPPED

BE Conf.sses 10 Two Robbsriss in ihe Sans
Residence - Newspaper Thieves on
the Island.

A burglar was very neatly trapped
over in Martins Ferry, yesterday moru-
ing.
About five weeks ago, and again
about two weeks ago, the residence Of
Mr., Henry Burke, On Broadway, was
entered by burglars and robbed Of a
considerable amount of cash on each
occasion.
Saturday night, Mr.. Burkle and his
family being absent on d visit, the police
we're informed that the house was va
cant, and as the previous rObbsries had
been reported, OHicer Och went to the
house and lay in wait for possible
thieves, and was successful. About
O'Clock he heard noise in one OF the
bed rooms, and saw Edward Senske,
aged about sixteen years, in the act Of
going through a bureau. The officer
made an attempt to capture the
burglar, but be evaded arrest and made
his escape
About nine o'clock last night, however,
the officer saw his man at Jefferson
street and Broadway, and he was ar
rested and locked up. After his arrest
Senske confessed to the two prior rob
berries, saying he had obtained about
fifty dollars by the three raids on the
house. He effected an entrance to the
cellar. thence coming up into the resi-
dence proper, and must have been post
ed as to the absence of the family from
home.

Of millions Of dollars worth Of dry
goods, groceries. medicines, chemicals,
machinery, furniture, rifles, pistols,
sewing machines and other articles
every year. a trade which would belong
to the United States if we offered rea-
sonable inducements.
But our long continued and ener-
waiting policy Of high protection has
not only prevented the possibility Of
our manufacturers reaching out sue
cessfuly for this trade but has made
them careless of it, There are few
branches OF American industry to-day
that are not under the absolute control
OF trusts and it Is found to be easier
under this system to make big profits
off tbs home consumer and restrict
production than TO reach out for for
eign markets.
A low tariff which will permit in
ternatlonal trade and At the same time
relieve the American consumer, will
alter the situation. It will thresh the
monopolistic feature out Of American
Industry and give legitimate enterprise
a chance.
