The Interesting and Admirable Fro
ductiOn to BE Repeated To-day.
In spite of the beginning of the Lenten
season, one of the largest audiences that
has been seen for months was attracted
TO the theater last night by the presenta-
ton of Anthony Hopes Prisoner of Zen
da. the Naturalization of which has evoked
favorable comment and applause every
where.
The Prisoner of Zenda was presented
with a truly remarkable cast, one in
which each player was suited TO the
part, and while criticism might be direct
ed toward some of the finer points of the
production, it was indeed one of excel
lence.
Mr.. Howard Gould's handling of the
double role of the prince and the travel
ing Englishman was admirable, and many
were the plaudits that Miss Isabel Irving
won in her part as the princess. Some
thing good might be said of each of the
individual actors. as every part was well
sustained. The fame of this production
had preceded it, and it was one of those
performances in which the reality had not
destroyed the pleasure that lay In the an
ticipation.
An interesting feature was the appear
ance OF a theater party from Beaufort.
and father of Miss Maude Odell who
took the part of Antoinette de Maubau.
and who occupied a box during the PER
Torrance. Miss Odell was greeted with
applause almost every time she appeared
on the stage, and well pleased were her
friends with the excellent work she did.
She was the recipient of several bouquets
from her friends The Prisoner of Zenda
will be presented at a matinee this after
noon and again tonight.
Prof. Gentry's dog and pony show will
begin its three nights and two matinees of
shows at Bolton and Price streets tonight.
The troupe will make a street parade this

FRIDAY,
SENATOR PRITCHARD'S VOTE

II will he observed in the Senate pro-
ceedings printed yesterday that SENATOR
pritchard voted against Mr. vest
amendment reducing the tariff on COTTON
rios It was explained by Mr.. Vest that
the tax proposed, namely no OF cent
ner Mound. was equivalent to 10 cents q
hale on cotton. or 100000 tax on crop
of q. 900 600 bales. On crop say OF Zoo,-
600 bales in North Carolina senator
Pritchards vote cost the farmers OF this
State say $4,000 on this item alone. not
IN sneak of cotton bagging, which will be
heard from later. This, too, in the face
of the fact that binding-twine was kept
on the free list to please the trusts.
There is no use in mincing words about
it. Senator Pritchard stands for the party
that fills the State legislature with negro
supremacy policies, and puts upon the
white farmers of the State a tax on THEN
chief staple. What benefit do the people
derive from representatives of this kind
South. let alone North Carolina, when he
is joined in his vote only by De Boo from
the South? What is Pritchard in the Sell
ate for anyway? Are the Republicans
thus whipping him into cast-iron policy
TO support every item of the tariff bill
whether it injure his people or not?
In this case the injury can be calculated
by simple arithmetic in every home which
is sustained by the proceeds from the cot
ton crop. Only remember that Senator
Pritchard voted 10 make you pay 10 cents
more per bale for your cotton-ties. When
you come to buy them. you will think of
this a second time Out with such mad
ness on the part of the State. If this be
what the New England States call broad
gauge tendency, let us travel on the mar
row-gauge at least so far as may save our
farmers from a tax on their cotton in or
der that the binding-twine thieves of the
North may fatten on free list

A BIG CONTEMPLATING SCHEME
One Requesens and Wife Arrested i'll
New York Charged With Counterfeit
ing 81 100000 of Costa Rico Bonds.

J,=
New York, June Bone of the most
extensive counterfeiting plots ever dis
covered by the Secret Service Bureau of
the POstoffice Department was brought
to light to-day when RichardO ID. Re
quesens and his wife Eugenia were ar
raigned before Commission Shields charg-
ed with issuing counterfeit bonds of the
Costa Rican government of the denOmina-
ton of 100 pesos.
The prisoners were arrested by officers
of the United States Secret Service on an
order issued by Chief Hazen. based on
information receiv from the Consul
General of the United States at Port
Limon, Costa Rica.
Requesens has a printing establishment
in Maiden Lane, this city, and he was
arrested there. No plates, dies or other
cOunterfeiting tools were found in the
rooms. The woman, who was arrested.
and who said she was Eugenia Requesens,
is fine looking and apparently about -
years old. She told Chief Hazen that she
met Requesens several months ago. and
that he told her he had "a big scpeme to
float in Costa Rica "
She said: I'VE went to Port Limon a.
bout the middle of March. AS to this
charge of attempting to float forged bonds
of the Costa Rican government can say
positively that / have no knowledge of it
whatever. If my husband attempted to
put any such bonds on the market 1 can
say positively that l know nothing of such
a scheme"
RichardO ID. Requesens, the alleged
principal in the floating of the counterfeit
bonds refused to make any statement.
Both prisoners were held in default Of
5000 bail for examination on June 16.
The cOunterfeits are excellent imita-
tons of the original bonds and bear the
signatures of the President, T.. Pesulta,
and Secretary Octuno. 1t is said they
were issued from New Orleans. 1t was
reported this afternoon that full 81 ,250,-
600 of these bands had been floated but
only a small portion of the bonds, it is
said, have been marketed in this city.
There is a story to the effect that Re
quesens and his wife went to Costa RIGA
to float the bonds in an effort to benefit
insurrectionists in that country. 1t is
also said that a large amount of the bonds
were placed among the conspirator "a
gainst Costa Rican government.
Alfred Walcott, an English waiter in
the Hotel Imperial, in San Jose, Costa
Rica is said to be under arrest there,
and it is also stated that S47 900 pesos
of counterfeit notes were found in his
possession. II is further claimed that a
bundle of the counterfeis was found in
sofa which was shipped from this city.
Chief Hazen said tonight that he eX-
pected witnesses from Costa RIGA to ar
rive within Il week or ten days.

Senator Tillman will fight for the Dis

Terry's anti-cigarette bill subjecting them

this young woman was powerfully gifted

that her pen may yet further explore the
