The Deacon's Daughter.

A very entertaining musical comedy is
THE Deacon's Daughter" which was
seen at the Academy of Music last night
before a good sized audience 1t is a conn.,
edy in which the late Annie Pixley met
with great success, This success has been
duplicated by Miss Kennedy, who has
been starring in it for the last two sea-
sons. The costuming of the piece is eX-
ceptionally fine and it is also staged in
an excellent manner.
Altogether THE Deacon's Daughter" is
much better than the average theatrical
production given at popular prices. The
comedy is in four acts during which
Miss Kennedy is seen i'm a number of
entertaining, up-to-date specialtes. Her
brother James Kennedy, assists her in
some of them. The company supporting
Miss Kennedy is very evenly balanced
and very competent and a well-rounded,
thoroughly enjoyable entertainment is
given in which there are no bare spots.
'The Deacon's Daughter will be repeat
ed this and tomorrow afternoons and
evenings at the Academy.

a fact unknown to each other. Acting
upon the old impulse, the former gave
the proper signal to back, which was
promptly done by the stage carpenter.
The train was then coupled and made
up. After the proper lines were spoken
the train pulled out amidst tumult of
applause. Manager Carter congratulated
the actor for the manner in which he

MARY HAYES WANTED.
Sheriff Has Not Been Able to Make 6
Prisoner of Her.

Once again doth Mary Hayes set at
defiance the whole executive force of
the commonwealth in Lackawanna
county. She is wanted to stand trial
for keeping a tippling house over in
the Twelfth ward, and when she did
not respond when called, on Tuesday
a deputy sheriff was dispatched with
capias and instructions to bring her
over.
Whether it was the memory of the
fate Of eX-Deputy Sheriff BILLY" Craig
and various other officers of the law
who We're rash enough to attempt Mrs.
Hayes arrest, or whether it was that
this latest envoy of the court met with
some such experience as his predeces-
sors, does not appear, but whatever 1t
was, Mrs. Hayes was not brought into
court and the district attorney yester-
day confessed his inability to get her.
why" said Judge Archibald, in
amazement, II am surprised to hear
such an admission. To think that the
sheriff of this county, with all the
power he has at command, should have
it said for him that he can not encom-
pass the arrest of a woman"
But it is true, nevertheless, your
honor" said Mr.. Jones. I'VE have eX-
hausted every available means at COM
mand and yet are unsuccessful"
But you haven't exhausted every
available means" rejoined the court.
Have you never heard Of the judge
who, on an occasion similar to this,
told the sheriff that every available
means had not been exhausted, that he
had not summoned him, the judge. The
sheriff, so the story goes, then and
there impressed the judge into service,
under his posse power, and ordered him
to bring in the prisoner. And the judge
brought him in"
We'll, we will do that in this case"
suggested Mr.. Newcomb, attorney for
the prosecution, but Judge Archibald
intimated that it would not be done
just yet.
And Mary Hayes is still at liberty.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
The Giry from Paris.

That chic, bewitching Girl from Paris
made her second appearance Of the sea-
son in this city last night. The Lyceum
was the scene of her triumph, tor she did
achieve a triumph if the fervor of the
applause that greeted her and her COM
patriots is any criterion by which to
judge. And, by-the-by, one of these self
same compatriots is fellow of infinite
jest and irresistible humor. His name is
James Sullivan, and he was assigned the
role of Hans, proprietor of a hotel at q
German health resort. His makeup and
his dialect were works of high art and he
was besides the most unobtrusively fun
ny individual that has trod the boards OF
the Lyceum for several moons. One can
forgive the naughty winks and wicked
posing of THE Girl from Paris" for the
sake of Sullivan. 'Tis a pity he shines
during one act only.
The Girl was impersonated by Miss
Olive Redpath, who is beautiful and
clever a combination as desirable as it is
rare. Her work is marked by more deli
cacy and reserve than that of some of
the other young women who have es-
sayed the title role, but 1t must not be
surmised from this that she makes the
giddy Parisienne a modest Sunday school
maiden or anything closely related to
her. She merely tried to make Mile. Julie
Bon-Bon a little more sane and circum-
spect than some of the others who had
the Interpretation of the character in
trusted to them.
Miss Cherdah Simpson deserves first
place among the vocalists of the COM
pany as surely as Sullivan does among
the comedians. She is not pretty but she
is graceful and when she slngs-well you
forget that she is not exactly beautiful.
The company throughout was composed
of excellent material. Besides those men,
toned above some of the members who
deserve special mention in the order
named are Alexander Clark Frank
Smithson, Nick Long, Phoebe Coyne,
Benjamin Howard and Edward Chapman.
Sprightly music, beautiful costumes and
large chorus were features of the per-
formance. All of the scenery is carried
by the company. That used in the sec
ond act is a particularly fine specimen

clave which is the largest and most

sciousness. Her age, being "a years.
was a disadvantage and she had been

Springfield, Mass. October 29.--Isaac
Stetson, ths Dalton hermit, who was
found dead in the woods near his home
in the vicinity of Wahconah Falls yester
day, was probably murdered. The autop.

lying about 40 rods from the howell where

CUBA AND SILVER.
Senator Morgan Declares the Island NAV
Settle the Money Question.

Birmingham, Ala, October 2e.-Sena.
tor J. L. Morgan, who is taking part in
the Congressional campaign in this
state, spoke at Seals hall last night. He
dwelt chiefly on the SUBJECT of trade and
territorial expansion, especially as relates
to the South. With regard to the MIC
araguan canal he said he though the time
had arrived when public sentiment would
practically force the present Congress to
act favorable upon 1t. The war had
brought about the situation. AS to Cuba's
future Senator Morgan said the United
States will not take the island by the ear
and pull 1T into the Union, but we will
hold it until the people there awake to
the realization that their greatest security
and prosperity lies in annexation to this
country as state which they will seek,
AS to the Philippines the great distance
rendered the situation with them differ
emit from that of Cuba and Porto Rico,
but he did not believe that there was a
man in this country who favored the
United States turning it's back upon these
people who need the enlightenment and
liberty we can give them. The Senator
said that Spanish silver is being driven
out of Cuba and Porto Rico by our
money, and that big demand for our
silver in those islands will follow, thus
practically accomplishing the remonetiza-
ton of silver.
