A NEW DRAMATIC STAR
Is OF the Schoo! Founded BY james
Owen O'COuuor

New York, Feb. A new star of
Shakesperian tragedy has dawned upon
the dramatic horizon and incidentally
on Eighth avenue.
George Henry Bennett is this sspi-
rant for histrionic honors. He made his
debut as a ShakeSperian actor in
Miners Eight Avenue Theater last
night.
He had had a trial at sacred con-
cert at that theater the week before
His art was not considered sacred by
the boys in the gallery that night. He
was therefore considered a success. and
his name was printed on the bill for
last nights concert.
Boys of the gallery had peanuts and
apples to throw at him as an evidence
of their approval. They gave him a
noisy reception and reserved their mis-
siles for his scene and curtain calls.
But after reciting the solilouuy of Rich
ard Ill. after he. as the Duke of Glou
cester, had killed Henry VI. the actor
declined TO respond to call, saying in
9, deep and tragic voice:
Il like not the temper of that gallery" :"
Mr.. Bennett is a remarkable actor.
He is known as the Sixth avenue bar
tender" but he says he should not be
called such. as he was forced to earn
Il living as a bartender by adverse cir
cumstances while fitting himself for
the stage. He is a self-made actor

Wflkesbarre, Feb. 7.-To-day's pro-
ceedines in the trial OF Sheriff Martin
and his deputies for the Lattimer
shooting were remarkable for the TALL
ure OF the attempt of the prosecution TO
definitely fix the responsibility for the
shooting upon particular deputies and
the publicly administered rebukes by
Judge Woodward upon the angry per-
sonal contentious OF counsel and upon
certain papers for alleged sensational
reports OF the trial.
S. L. Jones, a justice]cf the peace of
West hazieton, was the first witness
called TO the stand. ON direct eXami-
nauon he said tnat he had been a wit-

Philadelphia company, gave security
for each OF the accused IN $5,oor for
muraer and 81. 600 for felonious wound
ing, the total bail bond amounting TO
Sa1S 600.
With George Seager the next wit

the personality of those who did the
actual shooting at Lattimer- Bringing
him down TO the occurrences at Lat
timer, he was asked to pick out the
deputies he had seen there. Walking
