The stockholders of the Central Glass
Company met yesterday afternoon at the
works and elected a Board of Directors,
composed of the following gentlemen:
N. B. Scott, Louis f. Stifel, Peter Cas-
sell, Joseph Speidel, w. c. Goering,
James Steadman, and DR.. r. w. Haz-
lett. The Board did not organize, but
it was stated last evening that it would
probably do 50 tomorrow. Bylaws
were adopted, and a resolution passed
providing for an increase in the capital
stock, should the latter be thought de-
sirable at any time in the future. II so,
the increase can be made without call
ing the stockholders together again.
Previous 10 the meeting OF the stock
holders many Of the gentlemen interest
ed in the Company Went over the
works, saw and learned just what had
been done, and were more than satisfied
that the plant was in good condition.
One furnace had been charged Friday
afternoon about haif-Iast four o'clock,
and yesterday morning a proof OF the
glass had been taken, it being one OF
the quickest melts ever made at the
works. At one O'Clock Monday after
noon the work of making ware Will be

day was the first pay day at the works,
although it was a small one. The next
pay will carry joy to the hearts Of a
good many people in the eastern portion
of the city.
An inspection of the plant yesterday
showed that an immense amount OF
work had been done since the fasory
changed hands, and that in another
week or two it will present the old ap-
pearance in every respect, and will be
jogging along as though nothing had
happened and work had not been in
terrupted for couple of years.

LOUIS JAM; AT THE CRAWFORD
some Grand Work Done, Both in tn,
Afternoon and at Night.


A very small audience greeted the
production of a very great play at the
opera house yesterday. Louis James
and his company presented Romeo AMI
Juliet to not more than 100 parquet seats.
1t was the best production of that classic
piece ever witnessed in Wichita, and
the fact that the audience was so small
is impossible to account for. Wichita
clamors for great plays, but patronizes
poor ones. This is q peculiar contradic-
ton of facts, but it is so. 1t would be
impossible to be too complimentary in
this case. Louis James made a great
Romeo and Miss Alma Kruger was sim
ply delightful in Juliet. She interprets
the passion of true love with wonderful
power. Her appearance, form and dress
added a great deal to her dramatic tall
ent In that charming piece. Mr.. Guy
Lindsly in Mercutio was par excellent.
Mr.. Wagenhal in Tybalt was very fine
and Mr.. kemper's acting of Peter was
a feature rarely developed with such
skill in the presentation Of Romeo and
Juliet. Miss Florence Everett'S interpra
tation of the queer character of the nurse
was capital. In fact, everybody in the
cast was an artist Of great ability. The
scenic productions were absolutely
grand.
In the evening full, instead of
packed house greeted the presentation OF
Spartacus. There was comfortable Sit
ting room when there should have been
no standing room. The arena scene was
revelation. 1t was a scene calculated
TO arouse heroic patriotism. The pain
ter as well as the actor made it scene
unequalled in the history of the grand
opera house in this city. At its conclu-
sion four calls were made for a lifting of
the curtain. At the Haymarket theater
in Chicago the stage director absolutely
responded to twenty-six different calls.

OHIOS FIRST ELECTROCUTION
VIII Take Place April 8. Murderer Haas
Being the Subject.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 25.-Unless the
chief executive of the state interposes,
prerogative conferred by statute, Willie
Haas Of Cincinnati, II years old. will go
into the prison records as the first to suf-
fer death by electrocution under the law
recently enacted.
Haas is mere boy He was convicted
OF numbering Mrs Baeder, the wife Of
bis employer. Mrs. Baeder, under in
structions from her husband, went into
Haas. apartment in her night clothes to
wake him early in the morning, when
Haas committed the crime.
After the attempted outrage and ac-
complished murder he soaked the bed
ding with kerosene and touched a match
to it. He was caught at Hamilton in
company with some tramps. On the pris-
oner's person was found a letter from
James German, recently extradited, and
taken from the Cincinnati Jail TO Con-
cord, n. H. German advises Haas that
he hunks in Concord jail with Bill Scis-
scrs. the most noted forger Of his time.
Haas is to be eiectrocuted April s.
The execution of Miller. who killed the
marsha, Of Tiffin, is set for March 81, but
it Is doubtful whether the penalty will
be inflicted. as there are grave doubts as
TO his sanity.
Jack Easter, whose reason has been de-
thorned by constant brooding over fam
cied wrongs, is raving maniac at the
county jail. Easter started out last Sat-
uIday at Hamilton TO kill Ex-Governor
James K. Campbell, Peter Schwab and
others. He is related to Mrs. Campbell
and Mr.. Schwab, and imagines that they
have defrauded him out of his property
He was captured and jailed at Hamilton.
Once in his cell he DOTTED every gar
ment and walked the floor like captive
lion. A bucket of water was the weapon
with which he kept the officials at bay
until one put on rubbercoat and entered
the cell.

Selections from Records of ArmenlaD
Outrages.
One grows sick of reading Of the
abominable outrages of Turk and Kurd
in Armenia, and yet it is history and
current history, too. the pity of it.
II. H. Van Meter, a son of Rev. W.
c. Van Meter. for a long time a mis-
sionary in Armenia, has prepared q
brief review of the records Of Armenia
outrages. These records have been
carefully prepared by Mr.. Van Meter,
and are full of interest.
Mr.. Van Meter gives an account OF
the diplomatic relations between Tur-
key and the other powers, and the eff
forts of the Russians to protect the Ar
menian Christians. Continuing, he
says:
"If an Armenian was seen speaking
with foreigner, he was cast into prison
and punished as conspirator, and for
eigners were treated as spies of tho
powers and agitators against the Turk.

were let loose again, with directions to
DESTROY the Christians, confiscating
their property and appropriating what.
ever was worth carrying away with
them, including women and children
as well as cattle.
"An army of Turks, more cruel than
the cruel Kurds themselves, was sent to
see to it that the diabolical work OF

not thwarted again by the bravery OF
the brawny mountaineers.
