 Polls theatre, which Glas kindly been furnished to Miss Pardee by Manager
 Poli. Napier Lothian, jr., of New York,
 will have charge of putting the piece on the stage. The piece is four-act society comedy, written by Miss Par-

 Sir George Hargrave.. Mfr. Bryce Lady Hargrave.. ..........M Miss Parde6 Baron Burgh Alfred Hurlburt( who is
 a semi-professional)
 Miss Magic Burgh. Miss Frances Ross Mrs. Heaton, mother-in-law of Sir

 The plot turns upon Lady Hargrave assuming the disguise of Robbie Mel- vile of London" and following her hus- band to a shooting party given by a certain Mazie Burgh, daughter of Bar on Burgh, and to which Lady Hargrave had not been invited.

"TriIby" Up to Date.

Most of the American public have read "Trilby," and some of them have seen it as produced on the stage. The funniest version of Du Maurier's great story, however, has been produced by Lew Dockstader, the great American minstrel who is giving his own idea of Svengali and the other heroes of the novel on the Keith circuit. Dockstader has given up minstrelsy, for the pres ent at least, to play the continuous per formance houses, and MT. Keith has made a great move for the American public in inducing Dockstader to give a humorous picture of the popular fin de siecle novel,

Negotiations Will be Opened Soon With Certain Companies.
 New York, April 1S.-Sixty members of the anthracite coal-dealers associa- ton were at It's annual meeting to-day. President Connel said that the mem bers of the associa ton did not propose to longer sell coal cheaper than the cost of production. Every possible effort must be made to come to some satis- factory agreement with one or more coal-carrying railroads. The Reading termed it, was driving them to the wall. To save themselves they must take some practical steps at once. Sugges- tions were made and discussed. The result was that it was decided it would not be advisable to make the plans pub lie now.
 It Is also understood that negotia- tions will be begun in a week with cer- tain companies. If these negotiations do not meet with success the, association will try and make arrangements with a particular company. In such case the Lehigh Valley road would undoubt- edly prove the most favorable for them. The operators in the association con- trol, as they claim, more than one third of the annual output. The out put last year of the mines represented by the association was about 14,000, 900 tons.

THE PET IN STONE


buk VI
Waco. Tex, Jan. so--The stone man
went to Dallas tonight.
He will not be taken from the bank
of the Trinity as a regular Dallas find,
but will reach that city as any other
merchandise He will then be exhibit
ed there as the Waco find. After duty
In Dallas and adding a few shekels
to the pockets OF his proprietors he
may be starred around North Texas for
while. Then he win nave paid for
his journey to the state and prcpara-
tlons Will be made to find him again
In another part Of the country.
He has served MIR. kenick a good
purpose financially, and. reports state,
enabled him to discharge several obli-
CATIONS.
Just what Mr.. Delaney. who filed
suit Off the recovery OF "old Stoney,"
because he was found on his property,
thinks about the stone man now and
his removal to Dallas, would he inter
esting. To those who have been en-
gagged in the litigation concerning tho
stone man It is whispered there Is con.
siderable known that outsiders are un,
aware Of AT any rate. It Is pretty safe
to say that no suits for recovery OF the
stone man as genuine find will be
tried In McLennan county. The owner
OF the property wher the next diggine
for baid and unearthing OF petrlfed
man is done may file suit but It Is dol
lars to bait digging sticks that the
suit Will finally cause the plaintiff e
exclaim: "Wcll, Pm the sucker
don't know as much about petrlfiet
men as l thought ! did"

lanche, a morning paper started with a
flourish of trumpets three months ago
by w. A. Collier, NJ. a. Connolly and
Nathan Greedy, has suspended publl-
cation. The paper has been In des-
perate financial straits for several
weeks, and Its collapse was expected.
The editors, reporters, printers and
other employees went out on Il strike
last night, declaring that they would
not return TO work until three weeks
back salaries were paid. AT 1880 this
morning enough money was raised to
get out today's issue. and the paper
appeared on the streets about o'clock.
To-day several OF the creditors seized
the advertising contracts and this has
tened the collapse. The employees re-
fused to work any longer without pay,
and the office was closed,
The Avalanche had no organized press
report, and Its means was 80 limited
that il could not compete With the
Commercial-Appeal, which paper holds
the Associated Press franchise.
The Avalanche was represented in
New York and Chicago by S. c. Beck
with. Its failure leaves only one morn
ing paper In Memphis.
The Commercial-Appeal has an In
junction suit pending against the, Ava
lanche owners growing out of the al
legged wrongful use of the name Ava

claims to have purchased last June at

man. made 1t appear that she had been

who accompanied Miss Barton, states
that she and the latter worked In a
restaurant in Fort Worth and had
reached stage of moral depravity

the location in the reservation one
merely Of convenience
She says the Barton woman knew
just where she was going when she
came to the city, the character OF the
house generally and oil about It, She
was to work In the restaurant and sa-
loon among other things. Her obIec-
tons. when she reached the Carson
House. were that the place was nT
better looking, that II was a shanty
instead of n two-story brick building
Miss Barton was asked about the
matter this morning, and admitted
most OF the Harris womnns state
ments, and her denials did not tend to
prove the truth Of her story She said
She would return to Fort Worth to-
night, and SO did the Harris woman.

yeloped the facts otherwise.
