From our Special CORRESPONDENT
The biennial Seance with the question
of capital punishment has commenced
with the Introduction of bill by Rep.
Fuller of Delta To 80 amend the statutes
rs to provide for the inilictiOn of the
death penalty. The amendment reads
as follows "All murder which shall be
perpetrat"d by means of poison or lying
in wait, or any other kind of wiliul de-
liberate and premeditated killing, or
which shall be committed in the perpe-
tration, or attempt 10 pcrpetrate any
arson, rape, robbery, or burglary, shall
be deemed murder of the first degree,
and shall be punished by death. Pro-
vlded, however, that no sentence of
death shall be imposed under this act
where the conviction is had upon cir
cumstantial evidence. but all such con-
victions shall be punished by solitary
confinement at hard labor in the state
prison for life
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1895-02-15

There seems to be preponderance Of
sentiment, in the house, at least, in favor
of the restoration of the death penalty.
Mr.. Fuller's bill does not fix the method
jeopardize lis passage by bringing into
the discussion individual ideas "a to the
different ways of niicting death. After
the bill has become law, he thinks it
time enough to discuss the manner of
execution.

tails of employment are to be recorded,
and when his work Is finished this fact
must be made known; thirty days after

such services, and the manner in which
the money has been used: failure to COM

"A TRIP TO CHINATOWN"
Hoyt's Merriest Satire Coming to
Please You.

Coming to the Opera House, Friday
evening, March l, is the sterling farce
comedy, Hoyt's "a Trip to China
town." which has enjoyed in the me-
tropolis season longer by seven weeks
than any other play in America. Ha-
eel Kirke enjoyed a prosperous run of
4S6 nights, Adonis 603 nights, while
Humpty Dumpty with the inimitable
George Fox was presented 4S3 times.
Considering that this is farce COM
edy, pure and simple, its long season
was suddenly cut short in its very
height of prosperity by reason of previ-
Gus engagements entered into by the
management of the theatre, otherwise
it might now be playing in New York
with unlimited success.
The company presenting the play
has been carefully selected by the
author, Charles Hoyt, under whose
direct supervision it will be presented.
Each actor has been engaged for his
or her special qualifications to care
fully portray the characters represent
ed Theatregoing people will remem-
Der with pleasure the antics of Welland
Strong, the imaginary sick man !; the
predicaments of Ben Gay, while the
gushing Widow Guyer and the faith
full old servant, Slavin, come in for
their we'll merited applause by present
ing true to nature, their special roles.
The minor characters are all deity
handled and the entire production will
be staged in manner never before at
tempted in farce comedy, the company
carrying every bit of scenery used in
the play, in fact, a fac-simile of the
scenery used in Hoyt's theatre.
