"FatI,er and SON"

"Father and Son." as given at Washing
ton hall last night by an amateur theatrical
company, was witnessed by several hundred
Danish citizens, who showed by their re-
peated applause and frequent laughter that
1t was highly appreciated.
The same company has heretofore de-
lighted like audiences and has been very
successful. The scenes in the play were
Land near Copenhagen the capital of the ma
tive country. There is an abundance of the
pathetic MS well as the ridiculous in 1t,
which cannot but appeal strongly to men
conversant with the Danish tongue. A
dance closed the evenings program.

Groves, 2O2l Center street, in distress.
There are five in the family including Mrs.
Groves mother, an aged invalid, who has
been sick for five months ana does not know
what the allment is because she or'the
family could not afford medical attendance.

husband and she at once started down TO do
what she could to afford immediate relief.
She found the sick woman without nourish-
ment of any kind and the house freezing
cold. The only thing to be found in the

The big spectacle, "The Black Crook"
comes to Boyd's theater for four nights,
commencing Wednesday evening next.
Eugene Thompkins generally does
thoroughly what he undertakes to do, and in
the revival of THE Black Crook" ne has
not trifed with the confidence inspired by
his production of 'Jalma" and other spec
tacular pieces. The spectacle, now to be
seen at McVicker's theater, Chicago, until
the latter part of January, at which time it
will be transported bodily to the larger
western cities, easily surpasses in gorgeous
ness of display and claborateness of detail
any presentation of the old play made In re-
cent years. 1t is interesting, beautiful in
richness of myriad-hued costumes and ar
tistic scenery, imposing in the splehdor of
numbers and well conceived effects, and
agreeably furnished with incidental divert
isement. Then there Is the great French
Fin lie Steele dance from the Moulin Rouge,
Paris, under the direction of the most fas-
cinating of all French dancers, Mile. La
Sirene. This French quadrille is clever and
graceful and wonderful in a gymnastlc sense,
and is nightly applauded from pit to dome.
The sale of seats for the entire engagement
opens tomorrow morning.

This gang was unheard of till Saturday
night about II o'clock. AT that hour q col
ored man, Joe Brown, came to the station
and asked to see Sergeant Shoop. They
were closeted together for some time, the
visitor appearing to understand perfectly
what he wanted to say. He told Sergeant
Shoop that there was a well prepared plan
under way to rob the Chinese laundry ut
Twenty-third and Cunning streets. He said
II was going to be done by four men, and
that they were heavily armed and would let
nothing balk their plans. He said the plan
was to enter the laundry, order the China
men to hold up their hands, and If they re-
fused, TO beat them into submission and to
shoot, IL necessary, to do it, and finally to
chloroform them. Then they would 90
through the laundry and look for the money
these Cinnamon were supposed to have hid
den about the place.
The gang was to work thus: Clark and
Overton were to do the work in the inside,
while Button was to guard the front door
and Garlic the rear. The remainder of the
game was, as soon as the money was pro-
cured, to leave town west, going out Cunning
street, leaving the Cinnamon chloroformed
and unconscious of their loss till he'robbers
had had time to make good their escape.
This plan was to have been executed a
week ago, but was not, for the Cinnamon in
this laundry that night had some visitors,
there being about twenty of them, SO tho
crowd, but to postpone operations for q
week. This is what Brown told Sergeant
Shoop Saturday night, but at II o'clock
yesterday no came up to Shops residence
and told him where he could go and get q
good look at the entire lot.

FOUR BURGLARS CAPTURED
Had Planned to Rob a Chinese Laundry on
Cunning Street,
coLoRED MAN GIVES A TIP TO THE POLICE
oMcers Lilo In wait and Get tho whole
Gang-An Heavily Armcd-supposed
to Have Done Bad Work
Recently.

A robbery and possibly a murder was pre-
vented by the police last night.
About { o'clock the patrol wagon was
summoned in a hurry. 1t was loaded with
detectives and police ana the reporters were
requested to remain behind. 1t returned
at 1:55, and two shackled, massive and
desperate men were hurried into the
Jail corridor. They were speedily ushered
into the search room, heavily guarded.
Within five minutes the Jail door leading to
the street opened and in walked four detec-
tives with two heavily manacled men be-
tween them.
Here was a quartet of as desperate and
vicious looking men as lave been in the city
Jail for many months. They were brought
up to the docket and gave their names as V.
w. Clark, occupation, butcher; Il. Overton,
sheep herder; l.. Garlic and j. Button, with
no trade. They remained silent aud motion
less as statues while the search was going
on, neither smiling nor u~ttering a word I'M
less questioned by some of the officers. The
search developed that each was heavily
armed with the exception of Garlic.
They were deprived of loaded rcvolvers.
These were found in various pockets, one
having his revolver in the outside pocket OF
his coat, another in the side pocket of his
trousers and the other had one in q belt.
Loose cartridges were taken from them,
masks, bottles of chloroform, knives, chisels,
nippers, clubs and, in fact, everything that
goes to make up a genuine highwayman's
outfit.

Officer overI,ears Their Talk.

Brown said If Shoop would como to the
postoffice at once he could see the gang. as
they had planned to meet there at l to talk,
preliminary to carrying out their plans
yesterday evening. Shoop went down unac-
companied by Brown and stood in the sost-
Office for an hour listening to the plans for
the robbery IN detail. While there he saw
Overton get two letters, and for this
reason he thought that there are other mem .
bers OF this gang in other cities. The plans,
as Shoop overheard them, were that the gang
meet on the corner of Burt and Twenty
third streets to arrange final details for the
robbery. They were to meet there at 7
O'Clock sharp and proceed at once to the
laundry, where the plans as arranged for
the week previous would be fully carried
out.
Sergeants Haze ana Shoop took their sta
zion in a private house across the street.
Here they could with perfect case watch
every movement of these fellows.
just as the High school clock struck 7 the
four men came up Burt street, two on
one side and two ON the other.
They met on the corner and held
a few moments conversation; then they
started rapidly toward the laundry intended
to be robbed.

How They Were Trapped.

About 3 o'clock Sergeants Haze and Shoop
stationed Detectives Dunn, Donahue, hayes
and Hudson in the laundry in a place of con-
cealment. 1t was their duty the minute the
follows opened the door to place them under
arrest, ii possible, before anybody was hurt.
Button and Garlic had already taken up
their posts according To the
plans and were awaiting Clark and
Overton's arrival. Soon ~theyappearcd, and
right in their wake, probably twenty feet
away, were Sergeants Haze and Shoop.
The robbers were now together and the mo-
ment for action had arrived.
Clark ana Overton stepped up to the door,
but a signal was given from some alley and
they turned and walked rapidly away. BY
this time Shoop and Haze had reached the
corner, and Just as those fellows turned 10
run placed them under arrest.
Clark and Oyerton reached for their re-
volyers the moment the officers made
themselves known, and 1t looked as though
there would be Il tragedy right on the street,
but the fellows were Overpowered and safely
handcuffed.
TIL four detectives on the inside, Dunn,
Donahue, Hayes and Hudson, sprang from
their hiding places and placed Button ana
Garlic under arrest. They, seeing their
comrades overpowered, made no attempt to

AN UNWILLING SUICIDE.

Today for the first time in the history of the world man will hang himself with the sanction of law and for the good of society. By complicated sys- tenn of machinery set in motion by the weight of the doomed man he will pass into eternity and the conscience of no sheriff, deputy sheriff or other official will be burdened with his taking off.
 A description of the apparatus by means of which MT. Jack Cronin of Hartford, Conn.,, will worthily compass the end of his unworthy life, would no doubt be interesting to those who have taste for mechanics, but the develop ment by the invention, of a phase of human folly is much more interesting.
 The governor of Connecticut has been overwhelmed with petitions for a com mutation of Cronin's sentence. The petitions are not based on theory that Cronin does not deserve death but upon an objection to the manner in which it it is to accomplished.
 It will be suicide. say the petitioners, and the common wealth will become an accessory to this most revolting form of murder, self-destruction. Among the petitioners are many clergymen and the whole body is composed of persons who are supposed to occupy high moral and intellectual planes. It is difficult to believe that men of average mental capacity could become identified with this attempt to save Cronin. Waiving the mooted question as to whether sui eide is crime it must be apparent that MT. Cronin's participation in the events of today is forced. It is true that he or his weight will be held directly respon- sible for his death, but he will not join the movement for his destruction with gusto sufficiently strong to lay him open to charge of suicide. On the other hand Mir. Cronin is no doubt in hearty accord with the desire of the reverend petitioners to prevent the ex- ecution.

THE POPULOUS BAY STATE.
Massachusetts Has Twenty Cities, Eacl
 Having Over 2O.OOO Foundation.

Massachusetts Has Twenty Cities, Each
 Having Over 2O,O00 Population.
 Virginia and half of the states in the union combined show no more cities of over twenty thousand inhabitants than are to be found in Massachusetts. This fact is not readily apparent from the census bulletins thus far issued, says the New York Evening Post, as in none of them are cities having less population than twenty-five thousand ranged according to their population rank. The fact is also so surprising that few persons will believe it with out proof. But there is no place at all with so many inhabitants as twenty thousand in nine states-viz., Vermont, Mississippi, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North. Dakota and South Dakota. Nine states again have each no more than one town numbering over twenty thousand people. Those states are New Hampshire, Delaware, lima, South Carolina, Louisiana, Ar kansas and Oregon. Four other states Maine, Nebraska, Colorado and Washington-count each only two cities that have passed the twenty thousand limit. These three classes ! of states amount to twenty-two; that is, half the whole number of the United States, and seventeen is the to- tai of their cities with each a census upward of twenty thousand. Twenty such cities, however, are in the roll of Massachusetts. These are Boston, Worcester, Lowell, Fall River, Cam bridgel Lynn, Lawrence, Springfield, New Bedford, Somerville, HolyoBe, Salem, Chelsea, Haverhill, Brockton, Taunton, Gloucester, Newton, Maiden, Fitchburg. Three cities of this size and no more appear in the census of Virginia Richmond, Norfolk and 1 Petersburg.

GOLD HAS purchasing power, though a legal wrong, over and above silver &C., cording to the ratio of 16 to l. This country's history, established on the ratio was fixed quite early in our basis of the labor required to produce them. In other words, to illustrate, it takes sixteen times the effort to produce an ounce of gold that it does to produce one of silver. The demonetization of silver however discriminates only in favor of one class-the godbug. The producer of gold-the gold miner-re. ceives for hls product the same price that he did when silver was at & prem. ium; notwithstanding it's admitted pur- chasing power under the present fnan- cial system. If anyone derived any benefits except the creditor class under it, there would be a remote reason to argue in favor of leaving silver out on the financial sea subject to the ebbs and flows of speculative tide.
