1.-The Woman in Black" a new melo-
drama dealing with New York life.
written by H. Grattan Donnelly and
produced by Manager Jacob Lift, will
be given it's first production In this
city at the Grand tonight. 1t was
given a trial production in Brooklyn
last spring. and according to all reports
was well received. The scene OF the
play Is laid in one of the most thickly
populated districts of New York. and
it has to do with interesting phases OF
life in the nations metropolis. Life In
a great city Is full of material for the
diligent and observing dramatist. There
is always something new for the man
whose observation Is keen, and 1t may
be said that no melodramaS are more
popular than those which dead with the
busy lives of the people who inhabit
the great cities. In "The Woman In
Black" Mr. Donnelly is said to have
written a powerful play of Contem-
poraneous interest, introducing a va
riety of types of character and several
thrilling scenes 1t skins along the
edge of politics. but does not dip in too
deeply. The hypnotic influence of q
woman called Zenda has a material
bearing on the story, and the love In
terest is said to be sufficiently strong
to almost dominate the play. The

Deing regulated according to the speed of the
cars to be stopped. The sand tracks and the
regular tracks interlaced and the cars
are switched from the second to the first
whenever the hand brakes on them appear
insufficient to stop them at the point needed
On gravity track Of a grade like that in
the Dresden yard, cars can easily acquire
momentum when they are heavily loaded
and strong wind is blowing behind them,
while light cars moving in the face of a
strong head wind find the grade none too
steep to give gravity motion. The use Of
gravity for shifting cars in this yard has
been very economical. Formerly the 1000
cars which passed Dresden for other destina-
lions were held on an average of twenty-one
hours before leaving. Now they remain but
five hours. There are thus saved by concen-
tratfon of switching work formerly done In
four different places, and by improved meth
DDS, sixteen hours per car. The saving is
thus practically equal to adding 16x2 000-24
or 1888 cars per day, to the total number
available for traffic.

One Gamin Who Missed the Dali,
Visits of the Patrol Wagon.
PhiladeInhia RECORD

Philadelphia Record.
That most city children thoroughly appre-
ciate an outing in the country is well attested
by the popularity of fresh-air parties and the
efforts made by the children to be numbered
among those taken on the trips. But there
are always exceptions One exception was a
member of fresh-air party which had been
sent out into the country. He sat by him

written since Shakespeare's time. His next
play was Victor Durand,' a society drama,
which performed at Wallack's theater,
New York, in 1894 and enjoyed run of u
weeks. He next wrote a historical drama,
based upon the most eventful period of Vene-
tan history.
Mr.. Cartoons reputation as humorist is
largely based upon his sketches of the
Thompson Street Poker club, which had a
wide vogue as they appeared in Life and
gained a new popularity when compiled and
published in book form.
The accusation was once made by many of
Carleton 8 admirers that it was he who wrote
the side-splitting satire with which Lew
Dockstader. the minstrel, closed his enter
tanments when he had his own theater in
New York but SO far as is known, the genial
author never accepted the honor of the pa
ternity thus thrust upon him.
After a considerable hiatus Mr.. Carleton s
plays began to appear. "A GiIded Fool
written for Nat Goodwin. was a great sue
cess, as also was Butterflies in which John
Drew and Maude Adams appeared for en-
tire season. Both of these works COM
edies. and Mr.. Cartoons extraordinary YER
satiIity will be recognized when it is recol-
Iected that he gained prominence in the field
of dramatic authorship by reason of the
strength of his early tragedies.

suit is scarcely surprising when Its
truth, it's poetry, it's tenderness and
it's humor are taken into cOnsidera-
ton. They are of a character that will
always make Alabama" appeal to the
best feelings and impulses of human
nature. It's simplicity, it's naturalness,
its faithfulness to the character of the
people and section it represents, do
certainly deserve the appellation of
greatness. 1t is more than a pleasure
to know that the work of an American
dramatist has met with such phe-
nomenal success.
Alabama" is broad, sincere and hu-
man. The characters are all original,
the women are charming, the dialogue
captivating, the story tender and the
plot intensely interesting. The scene
Is an old plantation in Alabama near
the picturesque town of Talladega.
The central figure, Col. Preston, is an
old planter, southern gentleman of
the old school. When the play opens,
some eighteen years have passed since
Sherman's troops, riding southwark
to the sea, worked havoc in the homes
of Talladega. Among the men who
suffered most from the northern SOL
diery was Col. Preston. He not only
lost his farm and his gold, but his son
Harry. Young Preston Joined the
North, believing the cause of the
Union to be just and holy For this
his father could never forgive him; but
when the news came that "the desert
err" as the old man regarded him, had
died on the field, he mourned him in
deed. but as one faithless. At the out
break of the war Harry had loved his
cousin Mildred Old Preston objected
to the match, the lovers parted, and
each ere long married. Mildred Page
is a widow when the play begins. Har-
rvs wife died In childbirth, leaving a
daughter Carey, whom Mrs. Preston
has brought up as a true SOutherner.
She is veritable blossom, pure, guile
less, innocent, and is entwined closely
around the lattices of her grand
fathers heart Harry has never
learned of his fatherhood The breach
between himself and his father is too
wide to be bridged over. So he has
pushed his own way in the North, and
among his friends has acquired wealth
and influence. He has adopted the
name of a Union officer who died in
his arms on the field, and is known
as Capt Davenport, "the railroad
man." but his heart still yearns for his
old home, for his old love and for his
old father. He longs to see them, and
when a railroad scheme, in which he
is interested, gives him the chance he
resolves to visit Talladega He has
grown gray and is heavily bearded,
and his father does not know him. But
an old darlley who waited on him
years before is keener Ghosts,
ghosts, suah," he cries when he first
beholds his former master. Capt. DAY.

pretty Carey, Capt. Davenport's
daughter. She loves him also, but the
hosts prejudice is deep and strong
