Tivoli Opera-House.

The popularity of grand opera at the Tivoli
was shown by the large audience that greeted
the production of "Lucia de Lammermoor"
last night
Ida Valerga sang the role of the Inflated
heroine, part in which she has won success
both in Europe and America. Her perform
ance last night was a distinct success, particu-
larly in the mad scene where she acted ana
sang with fervor and abandon that brought
her four curtain-calls at the conclusion of the
act.
John ]. Rafael made an excellent Henry
Ashton, both his singing and his acting left
little to be desired. Martin Pache was ap-
plauded as Lord Edgar of Ravenswood and the
rest OF the cast as well as the chorus and or
chestra were good.

The Orpheum.

There was both delight and disappointment
at the Orpheum last night. The delight of the
large audience was in witnessing the many
artistic numbers presented; the disappoint-
ment made itself manifest when the stage
manager appeared before the curtain and
made little speech. He said that he was very
sorry to announce that Miss Pearl Andrews,
the queen of mimics and renowned dialect
comedienne, could not appear. "The lady,"
said he sis here" and with that drew the cur
tain back to make way for Miss Andrews to
come from the first left entrance. She was
attired in street costume OF dark material and
smiled sweetly as she bowed.

Morosco's Opera-House.

The revival at Morosco's Grand Opera-house
of ''The Great Metropolis" the greatest of all
American melodramas, and the promise, which
was faithfully kept, that there would be pre-
sented some splendid scenery, attracted q
large number of people to this house last
night. The play, which was produced at this
place about year ago, was great drawing
card then, and in view of the added attractions
it is sure to draw crowded houses during the
time it shall remain on the boards.
The play abounds in startling situations and
q number of beautiful tableaux, all of which
were received with very demonstrative marks
of approval. The most striking scene was the
Sandy Hook Life-saving Station, fitted up with
such apparatus as is used at the United States
stations. In the midst of jollifcation, in
which the majority of the crew take part a
storm arises, the wind howls the pattering
rain is heard, as is also distant thunder. while
occasional flashes of lightning illumine the
scene.
The lightning is not of the old-fashioned
kind, but is produced by electricity, and is
more like the genuine article than anything
that has ever been put on the stage. While
drinking the health of one Jack Holt, one of
the crew, danger-signal is heard, the crew
passes out OF the station with its apparatus,
and then for a moment the stage is darkened.
Then in the darkness there is revealed by the
flash OF the lightning the crew on the shore, q
lifeline stretched to q wrecked vessel on the
rocks in the distance, and shipwrecked mari
ners are being rescued by means of the breeches
buoy.
Inc sceHeTy ny cCulOI anu
the working of the life-saving apparatus by
the shore crew produced a most realistic pic
ture, and so much pleased was the audience
that the curtain had to be raised three times
upon it. H. Coulter Brinker had an excellent
character in Jack Holt, and rendered it with
the precision that always marks that actors

plause for her. Florence Thorpe, the new
soubrette, is valuable addition to the COM
pany. She is a clever actress, is very graceful
and has good stage presence. The other
characters were well sustained.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 19.-Deputy
United States Marshal B. j. Pearman
of Neosho, arrived here to-day
with John O'Connor, a federal pris-
oner, charged with the embezzlement
of ST 500 while he was postmaster at
Maryville, Mo-, from 1880 to 1882. He
was apprehended at Neosho Sunday
morning at a hotel. He acknowledged
his identity, and is now to be brought
face to face with the charges against
him. O'Connor was one of the most
highly respected citizens of Maryville
when he was made postmaster. He
left home one morning for Omaha.
where he was to attend gathering of
the old soldiers, and from that time
was not heard of. His family searched
the country, and offered a large re-
ward, but was unable to find any
clue whatever, and after a long time
they relinquished the search.

A MODEST CLAIM!
England's Boundary Claim in
Alaska is Greedy.
Would Take in the Richest of
Gold Fields.
JUNEAU ON HER SIDE.
Douglas Island and Juneau Then
on British Land.
MOnstrous Over-reaching in In
terpreting the Treaty Terms.

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 19.-If the
British government insists on the per-
manent establishment of the Alaskan
boundary line as mapped by the Cana
dian civil engineer, the city of Juneau,
and Douglas island, whore the richest
gold mines are located, will become a
part of the English territory.
A reporter of the Associated Press
visited Victoria, B. c., AMI was permit
ted to examine the new maps made by
the surveyors for the boundary commits
sioners, and the authority upon which
the Canadians base their right &c claim
strip of Alaskan territory.
DR. Samson, chief engineer of the
Canadian corps of surveyors, made
mountains, which together with the
treaty stipulations are the foundation
upon which the claim is made.
These drawings clearly show the min
ing town of Juneau to be fully seven
miles inside of British territory. Not
only that but Chilcat pass the favorite
and most generally travelled route to the
Yukon mines and the principal bays and
inlets of southeastern Alaska is claimed
to be part of Canada.
The location of the boundary is based
the treaty of February 20, 1925, between
Russia and Great Britain. A certified
copy of the instrument is in the hands
of the British engineers and clearly
states that the boundary line shall be
from peak to peak along the summit of
the mountain range running parallel
with the coast, providing the mountain
range does not exceed more than ten mG-
r.ne leagues from the ocean, in which
latter case the boundary line shall be
parallel with the winding of the coast,
and which shall never exceed the dis
lance of ten marine leagues therefrom.
The sense of the last clause is taken
by the Canadian engineers to mean ten
marine leagues from the ocean coast and
not the shore line of the various sounds,
bays or iulets.
In southern Alaska on the average the
ocean shore is fully fifty miles from the
main land, adjacent bays and sounds
and the principal inlets and
| rivers will be wholly in British
territory while few outlying islands is

| cede the United States is entitled to-
This will take from Alaska also large
portion of Berner's bay, where rich gold
mines are now being worked. 1t will

Saturated Her Bed Clothing
With Oil and Fired It.
GOT INTO THE FLAME.
She Either Stood or Knelt There
Till Death Came.
Was the Wife of NJ. N. chart of
LeavenwOrth.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 19.-Mrs.
Marshall Ehart, SO years old, locked
herself in the three story brick fat at
1922 Virginia avenue yesterday after
noon and prepared to die.
The preparations for her death
struggle were simple. She carried an
armful of bed clothes and several
newspapers to the bathroom and piled
them on the floor. Then she saturated
the heap with coal oil and touched
match to it.
She either stood or kneeled in the
flames that leaped into the air, and
coiled and twisted about her body.
When she was discovered life was
extinct and her charred body was in
kneeling posture and her head rested
on the bathtub. It was her second at
tempt at self-destruction.
Mrs. Ehart was the wife of Marshal
n. chart, a catLleman, of Leaven.
worth, Kan, but she had been sepa-
rated from him for about two years.
Ever since Mrs chart had separated
from her husband she had been de-
pressed in spirits. Last June she lost
her husbands alleged neglect and
one Sunday Afternoon she boarded
Metropolitan street car and
went to the bridge that spans the Kaw
river, where she alighted. She walked
half way across the bridge and, climb
ing over the iron railing, cast her body
into the water. She fell about thirty
feet. Two fishermen who lived in
boats along the river were rowing
down the stream and they went to her
rescue. Mrs. chart was unconscious
when they pulled her from the water,
but she was soon resuscitated and her
daue liter, who had been notified, took
her home again.
Since that time Mrs. Ehart has been
closely watched until the pest two
weeks when her intellect seemed to
brighten and she became more cheer
full. She never spoke of suicide or
gave any evidence of making a second
attempt upon her life.
Mrs. Ehart was the mother of five
children, three boys and two girls.
The boys live with their father in
Leavenworth, Kan. Both of tho
daughters live in this city. They are

electric car disaster. It is believed there
are two more bodies still in the river,

Rogers, the motorman who jumped
from the car, and thus saved his life,
was bound over yesterday morning for
two weeks without bail, during which

1t is definitely settled that one of

would be shut off for distance of 500
feet on each side of the river. The
wires remained dead until the draw
bridge was closed and the gates were
swung back to the sides of the road

order a motorman could not run his
car to the river, and the absence of
power would be an infalllble warning
of danger. Why the cutoff has been

NEGRO AND RATCHET.
The Murderous Assault of a Colored
School Teacher.


EMPoRIA, Kan, Nov. 19.-Late yes
terday afternoon, David Henderson, a
colored school teacher at Dunlap,
thirty miles north OF here, attempted
an assault on Dora Ray, 14-year-old
colored girl. This, it is claimed, is
his second attempt The school board
met last night to investigate the first
case. With the assistance Of lawyer
the matter was settled and Henderson
virtually exonerated.
The girls father, Samuel Ray, how
ever, was not satisfied, and wanted
Henderson held for trial A quarrel
ensued, and Henderson grabbed a
Ratchet and split Rays head open. He
then made rush for the door and was
met by Mrs. Ray in the aisle. He
struck her in the head with the
Ratchet and Mrs. McFal, a sister of
Dora Bay, also had her head cut open.
just as he was going through the door
Henderson split Thomas Starkey's
head with another blow.
He then fled and has not as yet
been captured, although nearly the
entire town is out hunting him, and
kilograms have been sent to all sur
rounding towns informing them of the
terrible affair. None of his victims
are as yet dead.
The colored population, which com
prises large portion Of the little
town, are frantic over the affair, and
if Henderson is captured it is more
than likely more blood will be spilled,
as he has many friends who it is
thought, will stand by him.
