The house was crowded as usual.

d'uctiOn of Lincoln f. Carter's melo-
drama, 1.-THE Heart of Chicago" was
given last evening to large and appre-
ciative audience. and, barring the usual
drawbacks Of a first night, went off very
smoothly. The play opens during the
great fire in Chicago. During this scene
the villain contrives to murder his part
ner, whose wife perishes in the fire. By
bribing the nurse he gets possession of
his partners child. Twenty-one years
elapse, and we find John Ames, the viii
lain, rich and prosperous man through
the money he had stolen at the time of
the fire. His evil deeds, which he be-
lieved he had buried in the ashes, follow
him in the persons Of his former con-
fidential clerk and the nurse. The child,
whom he has reared as his own, falls in
love with an engineer, and the son Of
man he had robbed. He strives to break
off the match, but unsuccessfully, anG
finally the nurse whose silence he re-
fuses to purchase any longer, turns
"state's evidence" and he is arrested for
murder. He asks for few minutes
alone in which to arrange papers, which
the officer allows, and he commits sui
eide. The part of the villain was ably
filled by Norval McGregor, the cold man
ner required being better suited to his
style of delivery than the light parts in
which he has appeared lately. Charles
Thornton as McFadden gave a very
clever Irish sketch, and Miss Nina
Gleason filled her usual role of the perse-
cuted heroine with becoming grace. The
rest Of the parts, too numerous to men
ton, were, in general, very we'll filled.
n. ;1ta Ill;
with a couple of coon songs, and Charles
Gale repeated his clever buck and wing
dance, which won him 80 much applause
last week. From the excellence of the
scenic effects it was evident that neither
labor nor money had been spared. The
fire scene, where all Chicago is seen in
a blaze, and the view OF the great city
twenty years after from the roof of the
Masonic Temple, not to mention real
cab and horse, were very effective. The
railroad scene which closes the fourth
act was an exceedingly realistic scenic
delusion, showing a train in the dim dis
tance gradually coming nearer until it
Suddenly appears, full sized, right at the
footlights. A very pleasing musical pro-
gram was given by the orchestra; also
medley on the xylophone by Mr.. Ed V.
Goodman, and a cornet and trombone
duet from I'll Trovatore" by Messrs.
Deeble and Derby. 1.-THE Heart of Chi
cago" will be repeated the balance of the
week, and deserves good houses.

Our Suffering Populist Capitalists.

Some Populists Of this county have
another cause of dislike for the bank
ers, They have made handsome
profit during the season and want a
safe place to put their money where
it will return interest. But the
bankers say they have all the money
they need and will pay no interest.
The poor Pcpulists are carrying it
around town and begging someone to
borrow it and give them interest, at
the same time complaining Of the ac-
ton of the plutocratic banks. Their
case is very pitiful and they have the
sympathy of the community.

LIvETH BY FAITH.
Editor Of the Visitor Gets Just What
He Asks.

A personal statement of the work
ings of life of faith is made BY H.
n. Engle, editor Of the Evangelical
Visitor, in his paper this week that is
curious and noteworthy. He believes
in direct answer to prayer and that
faith and definite requests for aid will
be duly recognized and petitions an.
swered and gives some specific en-
amples.
On Oct, %, 1896, he had pressing
need of cash and made it subject of
prayer. Walking down the street a
few hours afterward a passer-by
dropped dollar into his hand and
went on.
The last week in October he needed
$S to pay board bill. He says: "a
brother came and asked whether God
supplies all our needs. We said, yes.
This brother knew not of the peculiar
need of the hour. He went away and
before an hour had passed he APP
preached us again, hanaing us three
dollars, saving he was so impressed"
Another incident: The last week
of January found us pressed ON var
ious sides. On the 9th we made the
situation matter of PRAYER, to which
we received direct answer on the
30th by a tive-dollar bill from Penn
sylvania. In February money was
sent for flour and meal. Also petit
tion for a suit of clothes was followed
by the exact sum needed, sent from
Pennsylvania. June q, Aug. IS aud
Sept. 9 of the present year are noted
as dates when in Mr., Engle's opinion
direct responses to specific requests
were made in the giving of cash. food
and clothing.
