A REMARKABLE SCENE.
Singing OF "The Holy City" by Miss
Edna Bassctt Marshall at the
Wonderland Creates Pro-

found Impression.
At the Thanksgiving matinee perform
ance at Dockstader's Wonderland Theatre
yesterday there was an occurrence unpre-
cedented in the history OF tbeatricals in
this city.
The singing Of the celebrated ballad
THE Holy City," bv Miss Edna Bassett
Marshall, produced such profound
effect on the audience as to move many
to emotion.
Miss Marshall, is an exceptional singer
and undoubtedly the best who ever APP
peared on the vaudeville stage in vii.
mington. In singing "The Holy City,
yesterday her voice carried with it the
descriptive and emotional with such
force that every auditor in the 1900 pre-.
sent was impressed with the beautiful
words Of the hosannas Of that famous
ballad.
The scene during Miss Marshall's sing
ing and at its close when the people
burst into storm of applause, was re.
markable. and the greeting given the
singer on her return to the stage at
tested the appreciation of high-classed
entertainment. Mrs. Marphall was called
to the front three times.
The entire season at the Wonderland
has consisted OF the appearance of the
best talent on the vaudeville stage, and
yesterdays Thanksgiving matinee was
even beyond any previous day.

TIE fire plugs in this city must be
kept in excellent condition and the pipe
leading to them must be of proper size.
An inspector should be appointed
whose business it should be to make q
tour of inspection at least two times each
week. Property must not remain in
danger because Of inefficient fire p.ugs or
liliput'an pipes.
The firemen oi the city are rightly in
dignant at the silence maintained by the
Water Department to complaints made.
They have decided to petition for the
appointment of two inspectors, one for
the East Side OF this city and one for the
West Side, who shall examine the fire
plugs twice week. These inspectors
should be appointed. They are needed.
The protection of property demands the
maintenance of perfect facilities with
which to fight fire.

Advert tisements Represent Goods.

Advertisements represent goods. The
more accurately they represent them,
the better advertisements they are. Ad.
vertising which misrepresents, either by
exageration or by inadequacy, is bad adj
vertising. The nearer an advertisement
can get to the plain, naked truth, the
more likely it is to be profitable. News.
paper men understand that unreliability
in the matter OF news Ia worse than no
news at all. Advertisers are learning the
same lesson. They have been long in
learning it, and the tuition has been very
expensive. --Adritey.

Rests on the Son-in-Law in the
CAMBRIDGE Murder.

There is a profound mystery sur
rounding the tragedy at the Boyd
homestead near Cambridge.
The heinous crime is laid to the
hands of Orin Law, the son-in-law of
Mr.. Boyd.
For some time past Mr.. Boyd and his
son-in-law had not been on good
terms. Mr.. Law called his two chill
dren to his bed in the morning and
told them to go and tell their uncle
that someone had killed their grand
father and aunt sometime during the
night When the uncle arrived he
found Law unconscious on his bed.
He was taken to Cambridge and
lodged in Jail. Late in the afternoon
he asked for drink of water but re-
fused to talk on the trouble.
