ISformalIy announced that Maud A dams
will star next year. The little WASH
lngton has seen of this actress has been
pleasing, but there has been no indica-
tion in her work here that she has
either the personality or the capacity for
stellar burdens. Doubtless the last two
seasons which she has spent closely in New
York has indicated an actual development
Which warrants her assumption of larger
honors. The charm of Miss Adams, as seen
here with John Drew has been her dignified
andmodest sumption of parts W lich called
Tor temperament, but little display Of
dramatic genius. Modest dignity and sup
pie temperament are admirable quaiifica-
tions III a supporting actress, but they do
not constitute the elements which build
into stars. Few have ever seen Miss Adams
hut to admire her, and there is assurance
that her exploit will be made with sincerity
and tact. With the exception of her in
fantile ventures on the stage nearly all of
Miss Adams theatrical experience has been
acquired under Charles Frohman's manage
nent. One night nine years ago, he dropped
into the Star Thcater during performance
of THE Paymaster," which was playing
there in an interval between more iInpor-
tant productions and found himself wonder
ing at and admiring the cleverness of a
young girl in tue cast.
He was surprised TO find that the young
girl who was playing the part in long
dresses lie had seen in her mother nome III
San Francisco only the year before in short
skirts Off the staga Maud was wearing
short dresses still. He was then forming
the emoers otGhe stock Company " hich he
organized little later, and he engaged her.
Before he was ready to utilize her abilities
he permitted her to play aw hile in L. II
sothern's company, and after that lent her
To Charles IL. Hoyt for his Midnight Bell. -
at the BlJou Theater, in which as tha New
England school girl she first stepped into
the favor of the New York public. She be
came member of the FrohInan stock COM
pany that played at the Twenty third
Street Theater up to the opening OF the EN-
pire Theater. and remained member until
she was advanced TO the position of Mr..
Drcn's leading lady.

THE Z. J. EVANS CASE.
The Supreme Court AfIirms tie judy
mept Of the Lower Court.

The Supreme Court of Appeals on
Saturday handed down its decision
in the e. j. Evans case from Monon-
gala county, and affirmed the judg-
ment of the lower court. Evans will
have to remain in jail indefinitely or
turn over all personal property and
real estate to be. used for satisfying
his creditors. The case is so famil-
lar to readers of the New DOMINION
that an extended history of it is not
necessary. Evans borrowed $4,000
to pay q judgment entered against
him in court. He did not pay the
judgment and was arrested on at
tachment proceedings last February
and has since been in jail. Mr..
Evans has refused to tell what he
did with the $4,000 and a number of
Judgments for debt have been enter
ed against him since his arrest. His
debts amount to between Sic, 900 and
$4,000 and his real estate is worth
about $4,000. He appealed to the
Supreme Court from the decision re-
quiring him TO turn over the money,
to answer questions, DC.

WILL COME SURE.
The Contract Signed that Will Bring
the Big Glass Works to Nor
gantOWn.

Negotiations were concluded yes
terday for the removal of the great
Seneca Glass Works from Fostoria
to Morgantown. The contract pro-
vides that the works shall be in
operation by January lst next. That
Will necessitate the erection of i'm
mense buildings to accommodate the
works and also the building of forty
or fifty houses for residences. The
announcement will be received with
great qualification by all our people.
The addition of this great plant will
double the industries of Morgantown
and add to our prosperity in de-
gree hitherto unknown. The Invest
ment Company has not sold all the
lots required but there is no doubt
of this being done, anyway we will
have the works. The success of this
enterprise is due to the efforts of the
Building d Investment Company.
Our readers will be kept fully advis-
ed as the work progresses.

Cannon Condemned.

Our Uniontown friends requested
Lieutenant Kunkle of the University
Cadet corps to take the cannon over
to that place and assist in celebrat-
ing the centennial on the 4th. Lieut..
Kupkle was anxious to take a SQUAD
OF cadets over and make Rome
howl" but the United States In
spector when here condemned all of
the guns and for that reason the ca
diets did not fire any salute on com
mencement day. The guns were
fired on Decoration Day while the
old veterans stood by and they will
never be used again except as orna-
ments on the drill grounds and about
the campus. The war department
has issued an order for two of the
latest pattern rifled cannon to be
sent here for the use of the corps but
they will hardly arrive before Sept.
LIST. The six guns that were con
demned were used in the rebellion
and it was fitting that their last boom
and roar should be in honor of the
heroes who used them in defence of
their country.

A Bad Case.

The following snake story from
the Fairmont West Virginian il
proof positive that Brother PowelFs
friends had better see that he chang.
es brands and takes his wet rations
In smaller doses.
"a horrible story reaches us, but
it seems to have reached no one else
about Fairmont We heard it last
Sunday when few miles out of town.
1t may be true and it may not. 1t
is plausible one, however, and runs
thus; In the oil field back of Man
nington seven men concluded that
they wanted keg of beer. Here
we will remark that there are several
oil fields back of Mannington-Jake's
Run, Flat Run, MILESTONE, Fairview,
the Smithfield, Wetzel county field
and others. Our informant could
not locate the story. The keg of
beer was ordered and in due time ar
rived. The men took it to a seclud-
ed spot in the woods and tapped it.
AS they did not return within rea-
sonable time their friends became
uneasy and instituted a search for
them. They were finally found, but
all seven were dead and the keg was
empty. No marks of violence were
discovered upon the bodies and the
deaths were mystery. At last the
head of the beer keg was knocked in
and at the bottom Of the vessel lay
dead copperhead snake. This &C.
counted for the mortality.
1t is not hard to conjecture how
the snake got into the keg. The lat
ter may have made many trip to
an oil field or to a picnic in the
woods. Being emptied and left alone
the snake happened along and crawl
ed in at the bung hole. Soon after
wards the key has been picked up
and thrown into wagon, bung hole
downward, and if the snake didn't
die from suffocation it was drowned
when it reached the brewery.
We have no idea that this story
will deter any one from drinking
beer. 1t has been known from time
immemorial that snakes are in
whisky and that drinkers of the bev.
erage often find the reptiles in their
boots, yet we seldom hear the fact
mentioned and only when we meet
some of our prohibition friends"

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, June 20
After spending nearly $4,000 in IL
tigation within the past three years,
the Eastern syndicate, headed by H.
G. King, of Boston, who endeavored
to prove their title to upwards of
100000 acres of land in Mcdowell,
Mingo, Lincoln and other counties
in this state under an old grant to
Robert Morris, yesterday were COM
pletely knocked out by Judges Jack
son and Golf of the United States
court, who dissolved the temporary
injunction against all the defendants
in the suits, overruled the motion for
a permanent injunction and receiv-
er and directed counsel to prepare
papers setting aside all past DEGREES
in favor of King eS al on their alleg-
ed title to the great tract. The case
attracted wide attention and has
been the cause of great anxiety to
hundreds of citizens many of whose
families had occupied the farms and
homesteads claimed by King for sew
eral generations.
