AFTER THE coUNTERFEITERs.
Detectives Looking for Crooks Who
Circulate Bogus Silver Dollars.

Secret service officials and central of
flee detectives are hunting for a gang OF
counterfeiters, who have been working il
this city for the past few days, and whose
operations were brought to light last night.
The speciality OF the gang seems To be the
silver d5ll;.r CT the 1896 issue, and their
principal victims have been the small sa-
loOnkeepers, cigar stores and cafes in the
southern section Of the city. The old
tactics OF making d small purchase and
rendering dollar in payment were pur-
sued by the gang, ard they succeeded
IN securing n considerable amount OF eood
money in small change.

ernie Little Minister"

Lafayette "The Little Minister"
There was much concern for the fate OF
Miss Maud Adams as q star, and for IT ne
Little Minister" as play, when both
made their debut at the Lafayette Square
last night. But, happily, both passed the
ordeal successfully. and may now canter
forward to conquer other fields. Miss
!. Adams In winsome and sympathetic
coIuedienne, within the radius OF whose
charms it is always refreshing to sit. She
discloses quantitatively what she has here
tofore shown quaIitatiyeIy, and In this is
assurance OF her capacity for stellar per
Inanency. The play is an exquisite little
rorantic comedy. The dramatist has de-
parted from his novel in radical way. to
the bctterment OF the story. The mail.
difference IL in the relation OF Babbie 10
Lord Rintoul. In the novel she vas his
adopted daughter, gypsy, and he designed
her for his wife. In the drama she is his
daughter In fact, and only affects to be
gypsy. The latter half OF the play Is
fiction, Independent OF The novel. The
first act Is too thick of admirable Scotch
brogue, ard too thin OF lucid explanation.
The last act lags superfluOusin In repetition
of the four Scotchnen's discussion, with
out the kirk, and rather lahorious evolve
inent OF the hint at the end Of the third
act. These discrepancies do not condemn
the play as bad; far from it; they are
merely conspicuous defects In a rarely
beautiful anG fascinating comedy. Robert
Edeson acted the title role with considera-
bic distinction. He will some day make
leading man of great value to Mr. Froh-
man ard the stage in general. II was
pleasure to SEE w. II. Thompson restored

tional part. in which ne is 10 able. Other
parts were well played by Eugene Jepson,
Guy Standing, George Fawcett, Wallace
jackson, r. Peyton Carter, Norman Camp
bell, G.. Valentine, Miss Gordon and Miss
Mackaye. The scenery was elaborate and
beautiful. Mr.. Furst has composed an
air which runs through the piece with
pleasing effe,;.. Victor Johnson's orchestra
