CHICAGO, June 10. Charles W. Spald-
ing, eX-president of the Globe savings
bank and eX-treasurer of the state
university, was yesterday acquitted on
the charge of embezzlemcnt. The YER
diet was general surprise, as the in

scarcely any chance for an acquittal
The specific charge against him was
the converting of $1,000 worth Of the
bonds of Pittsfeld school district, in
Pike county. These bonds were hy-
pothecatcd with the Metropolitan ma
tional bank Of this city to secure II
loan OF $1,000 Spalding owes his ac-
quittal to single word in the statute,
That word is "interest." The Jurors

embezzled the bonds of that institu-
ton. There are still 81 indictments
hanging over him, and he will be tried
again.

CROOKED WORK AT JOPLIN.
The biggest Contest OF the Firemen'a
Tournament Declared OF by Judges.


Tournament Declared OF by Judges.
JOPLIN, Mo-, June l9.-rhe closing
day of the Southwestern Firemen's
associations ninth annual tournament
witnessed disagreement among the
companies, and the biggest race Of
the tournament was declared off
because of crooked work done tv
some unknown party. The champion
ship hose race required 100 yards
run, laying $50 feet of hose, throwing
water, uncoupling one section of hose
and throwing water again. The Sec
ond time the Joplin company was first
to run, and, having plenty of pressure,
was able to get water quickly and make
the best time, l:llA. The other COM
panies followed, but could not get
water quickly. An investigation fol-
lowed and showed that u fire plug
close by had been opened after Joplin's
run, letting the water out, and affect
ing the pressure. The outside compa-
MES protested and the judges an
nounced that as crooked work had
been done. the race would be declared
off and the purses equally divided
among the nine companies. The people
of Joplin denounce the act of the cul-
prit who opened the fireplug, and the
police are investigating the matter.
1t was decided to hold the 1898 tour
nament of the association at Pittsburg,
Kan. Officers for the ensuing term
were elected as follows: President, W.
+. Griffith, of Joplin; vice president,
j. J. Little, of Fort Smith; secretary
and treasurer, Hill Porter, Carthage;
inspector-general, W. II. Holmes, of
Pittsburg. A board Of nine directors,
three from each state in the associa-
ton, was elected as follows; For Ar
KANSAS. W. Rice, of Fort Smith; j.
Mayes, of Fayetteville, and John Cur
ley, of Bentonville. For Missouri
Charles NJ. Ships, of Carthage; A.
Haughton, of Joplin, and William Hill
burn, of Webb City. For Kansas j.
G. Bohn, of Parsons; 7. H. Hargis, Of

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.


tlOh ms session.
WASHINGTON, June 10. - Senator
Davis, chairman of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations, said yester-
day that he would not make an effort
to press the Hawaiian treaty to final
consideration in the senate during the
present session. while" he said,
"the opposition to the ratification of
the treaty is not formidable as
to numbers, it has already been
made evident that it will be
quite determined and this fact,
coupled with the impossibility Of hold
ing quorum for any length Of time
after the passage of the tariff bill, has
already forced the conclusion that an
effort to secure immediate action
would be futile; hence, it will not be
made. We shall, however," he added,
"be able to get the treaty reported to
the senate. We shall also have it form
ally taken up, so as to have it well to
the front at the beginning of the next
session. Senator Davis expressed the
opinion that there would be no diff
Guilty in getting ratification resou-
ton through the committee at the
present session. He >aid in reply to a
question that he did not believe the
committee would be disposed to give
ex-Queen Liliuokalani verbal hear
ing. 1--WE would, of course he said,
read any statement she might be dis
posed to file with us, but the commit
tees aversion to verbal statements is
such that am convinced she would
not be heard if she should make APP
plication to that end"

AT THE THEATERS.


"shore Acres" James A. Herne's faithful
and vigorous portrayal of human nature as
exemplifed in the lives of honest, wholesome
folks appealed to the best instincts and
warmed the hearts of the men and women
assembled at the Metropolitan opera house
last night. The annual visit Of this honest
drama this mirror Of nature that reflects its
beauties in a stronger, clearer light than its
deformities, is event deserving of the
most cordial welcome and substantial encour-
agement 1t received the cordial welcome
last night but it must be confessed that
the encouragement would have been more
substantial had the audience been twice as
large Plays of the merit of "Shore Acres"
revealing in such a direct and realistic
manner a phase Of American life, and its
purest phase at that, are too rare to be
sighted.
An added interest attached to the presenta-
ton upon this occasion, inasmuch as the
author of the play, James A. Herne, appeared
in the role of Uncle Nat, for the first time
in the Northwest. Mr.. Herne, like all actors
of superior mentality, scorns the theatric. His
acting is as simple, direct and straightfor-
ward his writing. The inevitable compari-
son between his delineation Of the role he
created and that of the other players who
have essayed the character here places Mr..
Herne's impersonation upon a higher plane.
His treatment of the role is superior at
every point. He imparts a stronger individ-
uality to Uncle Nat, warmer personality.
Whether in the playful scenes with the chill
dren, in the tender passages with Helen or
in that pathetically beautiful story of their
dead mother, which Uncle Nat relates to his
brother Martin, Mr.. Herne is the embodiment
of artless and eloquent simplicity. Like that
ilustr;ous actor Joseph Jefferson, Mr.. Herne
never dsclOses the mechanism of his art.
The supporting company is acceptable, but
not as satisfactory in all respects as its pre-
decessors. 1t must be said. however, that
Joseph Ffscher's impersonation Of Martin
Berry is very creditable characterization.
free from exaggeration, and yet effectively
contrasted with the character of Uncle Nat
Franklin Garland also impaired a natural
and breezy air to the postmaster, storekeeper
and boomer" Josiah Blake. Mr.. Murray was
acceptable in the role Of DR.. Sam Warren
the young physician, and little Edith Talia-
ferro displayed unusual aptitude and intelli-
gence as Mile Berry.
The New England dialect as exemplified by
some of the cast. is foreign to that region
or any other in these United States. Lucy
Morrow, who was the Helen. and Grace
GayIer Clark (Martin's wife) offended in this
particular. Master Alexander Paul. who
played young Nat Berry, must brush UP his
