Over 500 people gave their encouragement
to the educational department of the Young
Mems Christian association last night in
opening its collegiate year. The exercises as
planned by Rev. F. A. Warfeld, chairman of
the educational committee, and Educational
Director b. H. Matthews, opened with a
literary and musical program in the audi
tc"ium of the association building After
the invocation by Rev. j. w. Robinson there
came a violin solo by Prof. f. c. Renbold.
MIS-. j. w. Johnston then contributed con-
tralto solo of especial excellence, and Rev.
+. A. Warfeld followed with the opening ad-
dress to the students of the night classes.
The registration is large and embraces stu
dents engaged in all the grades from eemen-
tary to graduate work. Rev. Warfeld well
coined them and explained the difficulties Of
their different courses. Jules Lumbard then
sang Fear Not Ye, o Israel" and appCased
the audience with several enCores. Physical
Director Barnes conducted an examination
showing the methods and tests used in his
departn ent.
After the program an informal reception
was held in the parlors. Refreshments were
served and several excellent representations
were given by w. l.. Greenleaf of Des

plcation that the 80" had been erased and
the "3" substituted. This was still fur
ther strengthened by the fact that the "3"
appears to be in blacker ink than the rest
OF the endorsement.
Witness Daley said that in his opinion no
erasure had been made on the paper as no
trace OF chemicals was left. 1t was his
opinion also that the ink in which the "S''
appears Is the same as that In which the
rest OF the endorsement is written. The

examined the endorsement on the bond un-
der glasses which amplifed 1t $50 diameters

the microscope with him and he adjusted 1t

a turn and even Judge Powell succumDei
to the attraction.
j. r.. WILDER, cashier of the Omaha Saw

of the Merchants National bank gave tes-
timony, that the figure was written by the
same hand as the rest of the endorsement
and that there was no indication of an
erasure. They also said, however, that the
signatures OF Piper and Evans were in diff
ferent handwritngs.
l.. J. w. Jones chemist for the smelling
works, testified that the paper showed no
trace that an erasure had been made with
acids.
Attorney General Smyth then called John
H. Ames, one of the bondsmen and one OF the
defending counsel to the stand and asked
him to identify his signature to the waiver
attached to the bond, by which he consented
to remain on the bond IL other signatures
were obtained. This was preliminary to the
Offering of tne waivers as evidence.
The defense at once objected and the
question heretofore referred to in the open

David Belasco's war play The Heart of
Ma: yland," opened a two-night engagement
last evening at Boyds to large, though
top-heavy house, and was received with wild
enthusiasm Omaha is one OF the last cities
in the country to see this play, which is
melodrama pure and simple, but is so well
presented as to mislead many in forming a
critical estimate of its merits and it's proper
pace among stage productions. wealth
of detail, an unusual attention to accessories
and the selection of a company generally
competent and in some cases positively excel
lent, are Qonts about The Heart of Mary
land which are worthy of especial praise.
For the rest. little can be said which would
not apply with equal force to other melo-
dramas less generously advertised but pos
sessing like power to shock and thrill.
Mrs. Carter has made marked development,
and shows genuine emotional power in places.
Sometimes, too, the mechanism is still heard
to creak a trifie. But he7 performance is in
general a satisfactory and convincing one.
Frank MOrdaunt, as the old general. James
