Mr.. Frank Carpenters lecture on Corea
or the Hermit Kingdom at Metzerott Hall
last night was one of the most interesting
of his course. He told Of the great an
tiouity Of the people in that kingdom. of
their customs and habits and how little is
known of them. More information was fur
nished in Mr.. Carpenters talk than had
ever been given in any lecture in this city.
The views presented were remarkably at
tractive and aided materially in illustrating
the descriptions and incidents by the lee
turer. MIR. Carpenters explorations in the

his camera on every hand, SO that one who

OPERA HOUSE UNDER A NEW MAN
AGEMENT.
AGENfENT.


William r. Williamson, the obnoXi
Gus manager of the Grand Opera
House. has been ousted
President of Council Jesse X. Bay
lis, one of Wilmington best known
citizens, and an old theatrical mana
ger of national reputation, has leased
the house for five years, and will give
his personal supervision, assuming
control on Monday last.
This is the result Of meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Masonic
Hall Company held in the temple last
evening. The vote to GUST Williamson
and lease the place to Mr. Baylis was,
it is understood, unanimous. Will
hanson had been engaged for another
wear, but the directors succeeded in
getting rid of him, despite that fact,
probably paying him a sum of money
to release them from the bargain.
The trouble which led to this de-
sirable change is not of recent origin.
1t dates back two years or more.
Williamson began his career by en-
deavoring to browbeat the press OF the
CITY. reducing the advertising and
demanding big free notices for grudg-
ingly-bestowed favors. He acted In
such an ugly manner towards the
patrons Of the house that it became a
matter of general complaint. When
meritorious attractions were brought
here the schedule of prices was raised
without public notice and that created
widespread dissatisfaction. Despite
this, the directors chung to him until
his one.night's benefits began to con.
stitute nearly half as much as the
yearly clearances Of the house.
Last January Mr.. Baylis made then
an offer. 1t was not accepted at the
time, but it set them to thinking
They thought until last night wher
they acted, giving Mr.. Baylis certain
concessions not embodied in his origi
nal offer, the terms being the result 0
a conference with him about weel
ago.
Mr.. Baylis was manager of tn
house from January, 1874, to March
1880, and most successful in the ad
ministratlon of its affairs.
Mr.. Baylis was born in Wilmington
on February lotn, 1913. TIC I'D
always been one of the most public
spirited men of the city. For six o
seven years he did efficient service o.
the Board of Education. AT the las
municipal election he was elected t
the presidency of City Council.
He is one of the leading masons c
the city, being member of Washing
ton Lodge, No. |, St. Johns Roya
Arch Chapter and St. Johns Com
mandery, No. I, Knights Templa
Industry Lodge, No. 2, A. Q. U. M

state OratOrical Contest,

The state OratOrical contest between
representatives from the different colleges
OF South Dakota, to be held at Vermillion
May IL, is arOusing great enthusiasm
among the rival schools. This years con-
test is considered a peculiarly exciting one,
because it will in all probability decide
who shall keep the famous chalcedony
slab. The slab, which was gwen with the
understanding that the college winning it
three times should keep it, has been con-
tested for six times. IanktOn has had it
twice, Mitchell twice, Redfield Once and
Sioux Falls once. Thus it will be seen
that if either Mitchell or Yankton wins
this year the end is reached in the strug-
gle.
In connection with the OratOrical contest
is held the annual athletic meet, lasting
for two days, May II and Is. This is
awakening great enthusiasm and the
rivalry between the two schools is quite
intense.

DURANT TO BE TRIED.
HELD FOR THE MURDER OF
MARION WILLIAMS.
Brief Story of One Of the Most HOr-
rible Tragedies in the History of
cisco Fiend.
Bodies Hacked to Pieces.

w. H. Theodore Durant, of San Fran
cisco, medical student and assistant Sun
day school superintendent, is to stand
trial for the murder Of Miss Marian Will
liams in Emanuel Baptist Church library
Friday night, April II. The %coroner's
jury has found that the young woman
came to her death by his hands.
There has been no more sensational
murder mystery in the criminal annals of
the Golden Gate city han the case of
William Henry Theodore Durant, charg-
ed with the double murder of Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams. against whom
is the suspicion of having stabbed to death
u young drug clerk named Eugene Ware.
The mystery and sensationalism sur
rounding the case are heightened by the
disappearance of two other women
known to be acquainted with the alleged
murderer, a Mrs. F~orsythe and Miss -Ag-
mes Hill.
While the police have accumulated a
mass of direct and circumstantial evil
dence against Durant, the prisoner coolly
denies his guilt and claims that he will
prove an alibi. If it shall be shown that
Durant is the murderer of Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams the strange
case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" will
have been outdone in real life and will
have furnished the strongest kind of addi-
tional proof that truth is stranger than
fiction"
So far as outward appearances go Du-
rant has been a model young man, who
neither drank nor smoked: the assistant
superintendent of a Sunday school, the
librarian of u church, of gentle demeanor
and Christian spirit. Such he appeared
to be to those whose good opinion he
sought, but some Of his associates say
that in private he was blasphemous and
f~Oul-mouthed; that he practiced all the
vices he pretended to abhor and that his
remarks about women were particularly
offensive.
1t is a case that has no parallel except
the Whitechapel horrors which startled
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1895-05-02

a similar fate as that which befell the.
two girls. She was seen with Durant
about a week ago; since then she has been
missing. Druggist Eugene Ware was one
of Durant's closest friends. 1t Is now
said that the latter became Jealous of him
on account of some girl, and that this was
the reason for his murder.
Here are some of the most damaging
features of the evidence against Durant:
Ware was stabbed eighteen times by a
man who held his throat with his right
hand and used a dagger or knife with the
left. Blanche Lamont was s%trangled by
a left-handed man. Durant is noted for
his dexterity in using his left hand as
we'll as his right. On the day of the dis,
appearance of Blanche Lamont-she
whose body was afterwards found in the
belfry-Durant was observed by the Or
ganist coming down from the loft in a
most excited Ind nervous state. He ex-
planned that he had been up there fixing
some electric wires and had been over
come by the gas. Three of Blanche La
mont's rings were received through the
mail by her aunt on the day her body
was found. On the paper in which they,
were wrapped was Durant's name. In an
overcoat pocket in Durant's dressing
room at home was found Miss Williams
pocketbook. These are some of the links
in the chain which is being forged about
Durant.
