Cautain Arson, Actor.

Some seasons ago Charles Hoyt, in jest,
stated to his friends that he was about TO
write a baseball play. The story got into
the newspapers and travelled about ex-

publication reach Mr. Hoyts eye that 1t
finally set him thinking seriously on the
subject. The idea grew and developed. and
ultimately Mr. Hoyt began to write his
play. Last week he made an offer TO Capt:
Adrian Arson. OF the Chicago Baseball
Club to play a prominent part in the piece.

reach In the forthcoming open-air perform
ance to be given in this city Heretofore
this delicate and novel entertainment has
been within the reach only of the wealthy
at their country places. with two notable
exceptions-Mr. Days performance at
Stratford-on-Avon and the one given at the
worlds fair. The history of the open air
performances of "As You Like IT. shows
that the greater the simplicity of the wood
land scene the greater the artistic success.
The actors in the rich costumes Of the piece
wander about among the real trees with
greater freedom than in the painted forest
of the theater. The stage is the green
sward, and the sympathy of the audience is
quickened by their very nearness to the
scene and the players through the lack of
those accessories which, in the theater.
make the players and the audience seem so
far apart. In the Morris production the
intermission between the acts is to be oc-
cupied by appropriate music by the military
band carried by the company, and which
also gives a concert before the beginning
of the play. The effectiveness of the tradi-
tional songs OF the play is enhanced by
chorus, which is also feature or the COM
pany. The arrangement OF seats Is such
that every person in the audience can see
and hear as readily as in the tneater.

 MT. Brown was a tobacco drummer representing a house in Winston, N. c. He took a months rest at home and on the 1st day of May left home for a trip. He came to Selma and did some business for his house. He left a valise with MT A.

Wilde's Trial.

London, May 24-Upon the resumption of the trial of oscar Wilde today Sir Frank Lockwood solicitor general made application to the judge for reinstate- ment in the case of the evidence in re- gard to Shelley which the court elimi- mated from the case yesterday. The court refused to grant the application Sir Edward Clarke then opened the case for the defense. He complained of the unjust manner in which the prosecution had been conducted and declared be- cause of this the defendant could an- swer to only remnant of the charges.
 Wilde was then called to the stand and repeated the testimony he gave in the previous trial. Wilde was physi- cally weak and was allowed to sit while testdfying.
 Wilde's testimony brought out noth- ing new. Sir F. Lockwood throughout the cross examination carefully avoided giving the defendant any opening for a literary speech
