ships Pint Him Under Suspicion.
When the Norwegian bark Isabella ar
rived yesterday from Rotterdam, she was
boarded by a stranger, who requested a
private interview with Capt. Knudsen.
The captain was busy at the time, but
thinking the man might have some bust
ness to transact listened to him. The
first question asked was whether there
were any warships at Tybee. This ques-
ton was so peculiar that Capt. Knudsen
asked the man who he was. The visitor
said he was a stranger in the city, but ex-
pected to locate here. He spoke broken"
Scandinavian, but Capt. Knudsen said
that, In his opinion, the stranger was not
a Norwegian. Swede nor Dane. Several
Norwegian friends of the captain came up
at the time and the stranger departed alb
ruptly. All of those on board concluded
that the man must be a Spanish spy,

"A SCRAP OF PAPER"

The Henderson company last even ing gave an excellent rendition of Sar-
 dou's "A Scrap of Paper,'' under which name the comedy is known in English,
 and which was translated and adopted by MT. J. Pelgrave Simpson for the i Kendals. The play is standard one
 and has been successfully presented by
 the Kendals throughout the United States, as well as by several prominent American stars. It is by no means "star'' play, and consequently affords
 an opportunity for nearly every one in
 the cast. The lines sparkle with wit,
 of a clean, wholesome, stimulating character, and the situations are com plicated and 1udicrous enough to lend a
 keen ZeSt to the final denouement.
 Through three acts dozen people re- volve aboIIt an innocuous looking little
 piece of paper upon which the Struc-
 ture of the play rests. The paper
 bears a love message from a frivolous
 girl to the man With whom she was
 having an innocent Irritation when it was written three years previous to the opening of the plays action. During the interval |. has been SequeStered in a porcelain mantel ornament that was used as the amatory post box. The girl has married another man with whom she is devCtedly in love. He for whom it was destined has been around the world, and in the first act there are mutual explanations between the wife and the wanderer. He manages to ob- tain possession of the long hidden let ter and proposes to use it as means of coercing the lady into acquiescing in his marriage with the lady's younger sister The embarrassment of the lady arouses the suspicion of the husband. The plot from this time thi'ckens and sub-plots and characters are introduced until the weave of the mesh grows more tangled and the joy of the audience increases. At last af- ter innumerable complications Coma mont, the wanderer, and the cause Of all the trouble. Is outWitted by the
 keenness Of an Amazon who has be- come interested 1n the proceedings. She makes a bet with Coranont that she will secure the troublesome scrap of paper. She not only wins the bet, but naarries Comamont. h the char acter of Prosper Comamont MT. Ed

An Event of Unusual Interest Took
 Place Last Night.

There were over six hundred peo- pie at the O'Neill Eall last night t. witness the cake-walk. Every chair was filled and several hundred psopl7 were standing, and the hall was crowd usual interest, and the colored people All of the participants entered the walk determined to win the big cake which occupied a conspicuous place in the center Of the hall.
 The interest began with the march of the participants up and d-wn the hall, and when the first couple appear ed alone and the contest for the cake was on the fun began in earnest. Every one had his favorite and as the couples stepped off they had the en- cauragement of friends in the crowd. When Jordan Wilbur and his partner. Miss Callie Fields appeared it was soon apparent that their skill would secure the cake fer them.
 The best cake-walkers in the city were selected and the event revealEd the fact that Phoenix contains some exceptionally good ones. All of the participants were graceful, and there were several features which were gracefully executed.
 The judges were P. Corpst5in. Dr. W. w. Hubbard and George FUrdy BuHard. Their decision which awarded the cake to MT. Wilbur and Miss Fields met with the appreciation Of the crowd.
 An excellent pcssum supper was served in the hall after the walk which was enjoyed by a large number.

winter was past it seemed to her Chat 1 she had had more companiOnShip with him than usual
 Ezra liked Florida and the climate agreed with him. He found work there, and when spring came, he de cided to stay on. He proposed that Janet should join him in the fall She agreed at the time, but when fall came f she began to be dreadfully homesick She finally wrote that, as Ezra would probably come home by another spring, she would wait for him.
 But the next summer he spent in Florida also, and when fall came again and they had been married two years, nothing was said about his returning 1 or her joining him.
 Janet, however, began to have a de- ] sire to see her husband She deter mined to go to him and surprise him. So she packed her trunk and departed.
 At the same time Ezra had a longing to see Janet, and he decided to go north and surprise her. They started at about tho same time, and passed each other somewhere in Virginia. When they reached their destination it is hardly necessary to say that they were both urprised-unpleasan so. Each felt impellCd to return over the way they had just come, bu5 each reflected that the other might do the same thing, so they waited and wrote letters in stead.
 Janet liked Florida so well that she decided to spend the winter there
 As for Ezra, he declared that he never would leave the north again if he could possibly help it. It seemed like home to him. He stood the winter well, and he looked forward to seeing Janet in the spring. But Janet thought she would try summering in the south.
 Ezra sighed. "Oh, dear!" he said
 ave we got to see-saw back and forth this way all our lives? By the time she gets sick of Florida I shall have to go there again, probably"
 In April. however, a postal card came which made glad his heart-'
 If you will stay north till I can get there, 1 will start the minute I hear from you. It is so fearfully hot .4ere. that l can't stand it any longer"
 Ezra met her. in New York, and they stayed there few weeks, seeing the sights. This is our honeymoon" he said. They were surprised to find how grad they were to see each other They came home and went to housekeeping and were very happy.
 One evening they were coming home from church, They had not said much. but finally Ezra asked: "Do you sup pose we ever would have been married if 1t hadn't teen for my going to Flor ida ?"
 s'I don't know"
 'fWell. l don't believe we would Just think Of the time we have wasted. I have been an old fool for seventeen years"
 Janet laughed T think I belong to that class, too, she said.-Boston Post.

IT WAS A LONG LANE
 THEY TRAVELLED.

They were walking home from even ing meeting.
 How long have we been engaged 9 asked Ezra, after a silence.
 Janet answered promptly. ''It will be fifteen years the 10th of next month.
 And day after tomorrow I must start for Florida
 Yes" she said, q suppose it is best It woud be hard for you to stay here through the cold weather when you were so sick last winter. But you can come back in the spring." she added, trying 10 be cheerful.
 T have been thinking" said Ezra, hesitatingly, that fifteen years is Q good while for an engagement 70 last. Don't you think it would be a good plan to end it before I go?''
 She loked up at him quickly Do you mean that you wish to-"
 Be married, Yes.''
 Oh she said. ''I did not know but you might wish to be released.
 Mo-" he returned emphatically, you would be the one to wish that"
 T never have,'' she answered.
 Every one knows that I have the
 
 smarter and better than I am. I have meant, all these years, to get some thing ahead so that we could be mar rfed some time, and so that you would not have to do dressmaking. But l haven't managed right, or something and now my health giving out has spoiled it all"
 ''I would have been ready any time, Ezra" she said, gently. We could have got along.
 ''1 had got so used to being engaged to you that I had almost become satis- fled with there being nothing differ ent. But now that I am going away, and will not see you all winter long wish we could be married before go."
 But there is so little time, she said, thinking Of the pretty things she had hoped to make if this time ever came.
 'I know" he answered, not under standing her. T know you could not leave to go with me, but we could go to housekeeping when I get back wish you could do it. he enfed, wist fully. ''I will she consented. If it will make you happier
 On ths appointed day Ezra set forth or his way to Florida leaving his bride behind, to face the New England win ter alone. At first she was very lone some, but when long letters began to come from Ezra she felt happier. He was a good le.teg writer, and before

M. Bell has a part which is strictly in his artistic line of work He is thor
 oughly at home in the role, and has
 that easy, self possession and superb repose which his long experience with
 the best organizations has taught him.
 AS in all he does, MT. Bell allows no
 small, apparently unimportant detail
 to escape him and his performance
 was, therefore, one which has never
 been surpassed in this city. Next in
 importance to that Of PrOsI CT Coma
 mont is the part of Suzanne, assumed
 by Miss Frankie Fl. Raymond. She invests the role with an airy indiffer- ence which is a. capital foil to the non chalance of her adversary. In the second act her performance was ar
 tistic and the scene between herself and the baroness when Suzanne, in order to shield that lady, places herself in a compromising position, was cap itally acted. Miss Nevada Heffron as- Sumed the part of the baroness and was extremely graceful and at times forceful in the role. Asa Lee w. Ward played the Baron de Ia Glacier, a man of few words and with freezing man. ner, in a style perfectly acceptable. Harry F. Adams was the Brisemonche, an eccentric naturalist, who is the low comedy character of the piece. His portrayal was an excellent one. Kings ley Benedict was a lively, boyish ana tOle, and the other parts were in capa- ble hands. The piece was superbly mounted. No such interior "sets" have ever been seen on the local stage. "A Scrap of Paper" will be again pre- sented tonight, and Dumas comedy drama, ''The Crust of Society,"" will close the engagement of the Hender- son company Thursday night.

ing the captain of either team, and after a spirited discussion the game proceeded The high school played the wedge-shaped interference for the ends but lost on downs. In attempting the left end Burke receded five yards Campbell made up four of the lost yards, when Buck punted full twenty yards and twenty yards from the op- posing teams goal, where Lutgerding fumb1ed and the ball was secured for | the braves. Revolving wedges were becoming prominsn+. and used to good advantage An aff-side play by Meg kirnmons gave the young bucks half the remaining distance. where they were four yards from five points in the score. The distance was easily covered by Campbell through the center, but Buck failed at the goal
 A good kickoff was returned by the Indians left half to the 25-yard line. Fowler shot through wedge to the center line, where he was neatly downed by Lutgerding The weakness of the high school ends on the de- fensive soon became apparent and re- sistance for a time was almost useless.
 Buck kicked to the goal line, where lengthy John found his height no great impediment to his playing, and with
 
 yards for his team. A punt soon be- came necessary, which came with twenty-yard gain. With the ball the dark-skins soon neared the last white line, when place kick for a goal was executed successfully, this being the first attempt for q place kick ever made at the park. The score reached 12 to 10, favoring the high school
 The high school kicked the leather nearly fifty-five yards, but it was re- turned twenty yards. Vavages punted fifteen yards, and the high school used their right and left tackle over plays, with some success. The high school lost the ball on downs and the young braves with smiling faces daIted one and the other ends with slight exertion, gaining repeatedly with tgrtle-backs, and ploughed fur rows through the center at will Things were looking blue for the other wise light faces, but the ball was still twenty yards from their line when the remaining time was only five minutes and a glance at their ever victorious colors floating proudly from sympa- thetic damsels and interspersed thickly the crowd nerved them to a higher plane of animation and a most stubborn defense ensued. Buck again place kick for the goal, but Jones broke through the line, neatly blocked it and sent the ball bounding past the center line. An Indian ob- tained the ball and 1t moved slowly down the field toward the high school goal. The call of time left the Indians fairly beaten by a score of 12 to 10.
