Trouble In Far India

LONDON. July 3--The outburst OF
snri-English feeling in the native
press both OF Bengal and Bombay, for
months past, has had the outcome
which might have been expected, IN the
outrages al Poonah and the rioting at
Chitpore. Though there is no doubt
that the immediate cause OF this was
the energy with which the local au-
rhorities have. been stamping out the
bubonic plague, some times necessitat-
ing interference with the social rela-
tf0us. customs and traditions OF the
natives. still the disafection would not
have become acute except for the ae-
tfriry and malicious accusations Of IN
scruuuIous agitators who incited the
fanatics TO vengeance against indiTid-

OPENING OF The VALENTINE, T9lggI
Under the Auspices of the Asso-

Benefit of a Fund to
Complete a New
Cycling Path.

Madeleine Lucette Ryley's most sue
cesstul comedy christopher Jr. will be
presented at the Valentine Theatre.
Toledo, Monday. Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights, Sept. 20, 2l and % and
popular matinee will be given Wednes-
day afternoon. This event should prove
most interesting affair 10 our lovers
OF healthy, refined and laug liable enter
tainments. First, it will be the formal
opening of the regular season of this
most exquisite playhouse. Second,
this formal opening is under the aus
pices of the associated cycling board,
for the benefit of the fund to complete
the new cycling path, aud Third, the
play TO be presented is the first and
most popular success OF Il charming
lady. AS the play has not been seen
Ia the state of Ohio, before, reference
to the plot is perhaps in order.
Before they rise the curtlng" as
our Artamus Ward would say. a series of
surprising events haye taken place.
Christopher Colt Sr. is plebian who
has grown wealthy In trade, but whose
social aspirations inspire him to driye
his son into profession. ''Christopher
Jr." however has inherited mercantile
instincts and lacks both ambition and
ability in gentIer pursuits. The war
between the two has led the father TO
cut the sons allowance SO Tar thai his
expensive habits have driven him
deeply In debt.
Worse yet, on voyage to Trinidad
he sat up on the deck one night till the
lights were put out. Crawling down a
dark passageway he entered what he
supposed was his state-room and fell
asleep in an upper bunk, He wakens up
in few hours and finds to his terror
that he is in the room of some woman.
Stealing out as quietly as possible he
runs into an irascible military person
age, who, scorning his prote stations of
innocence, challenges him TO a duel.
At the warriors command Christopher
Jr. fished out what he supposed was
his card. 1t was really that of his
friend and prospective brother-in-law,
Bert Bellaby. The next day Christie
pher receives brimstony note order
ing him to marry the girl, or be shot
down without mercy. The girl, pros
trated with vain appeal and horror,
lies in an adjoining room, and the mar
riage is consumated without either
seeing the other. AS Christopher
signed his friends name and fed to
England precipitately, and as the girl,
on her fathers subsequent death, took
her uncles name, 1t is easy to see the
blind-man 's-buff possibilities. This
somewhat Munchausenesq story is
recited on the stage with the breYity
betting its dellcacy.
Special rates will be given on all the
railroads during this engagement for
the benefit of those who wish to at
! rand.
