Columbus Police Think They Have a
Noted Murderer.

Columbus, O., Dec. 28.-There is I'M
der arrest in this city man whom the
police believe to be James Durham for
whom there is a reward Of $11, 900 dead
or alive, from San Jose, Cal. He was
arrested here as a suspicious character,
he having offered lot OF goods for
sale at 20 per cent. of their actual
value. He gave the name of Harry
Wilson when arrested, but in court
said his right name was Harry Church,
and that he was born at Sacramento
Cal. Mrs. Church is here in the city,
but says she knows very little about
her husband, having met him two
years ago, and does not even know his
business. They were married in Illi-
nois. The crime for which Durham is
wanted is a most atrociOus one. At a
lonely farm house between San Jose
and Los Galos, Santa Clara county,
CAL, on the night of May 18th, 1896,
James c. Durham slew all the occu-
pants of the residence save one baby
boy. His wife, her mother, her step
father, brother and man and maid
servant were sacrificed. They were all
members of the family OF Col. r. P.
McGincy. The deed was carefully
planned. Chief of Police Kelly is of
the opinion that the prisoner is not
Durham for the reason chiefly that the
picture of Durham shows him to have
a square jaw, while that Of Church is
somewhat pointed A photograph Of
Church will be forwarded with a
description to San Jose.

has attained his 48th year. Thirty-two
years ago he made his debut on the stage.
To an Eagle representative Mr. Warde
related that his first appearance was as
the second murderer in Macbeth in the
same theatre in England that Sir Henry
Irving hade his debut just ten years be-
fore. Mr.. Warde is a hard worker and
the reporter found him in his dressing
room underneath the stage between acts
in The Lions Mouth"
He has lived in America one-half of his
life, during which time he has appeared
with the greatest stars until he himself
now ranks as such a one.
Speaking of ShakesDearian plays Mr..
Warde said that there has been a great
change in this kind of production. While
there is no increased demand for Shakes
pearean production the people do require
more than in the days of Booth and his
contemporaries. MANY time said Mr.
Warde, "have I. as Marc Anthony, ap-
pealed to the Roman populace from a
dry goods box, with q durg store in the
rear and a cigar store in the wings, but
that kind of thing doesn't go now. The
public demands appropriate settings and
an atmosphere consistent with the scenes
and time of the play And it is right that
they should. BY giving attention to stage
settings and details less. is left to the
Imagination of the auditor and more ap-
probation can be bestowed upon the act
ing"
Mr. Warde is evidently consistent with
his theiry, for in his productions in Wich-
=
Each play has a separate lot of scenery.
The setting for instance in the Romeo
and Juliet" balcony scene, and Venice by
moonlight in 1.-The Lions Mouth are
gorgeous.
The performance Of Romeo and Juliet
although poorly attended was the finest
rendition of that play ever seen in the
Crawford theatre here The work of both
Mr. Warde and Mrs. Bruno cannot be
praised too much.
Last nights performance was well at
tended and the audience was sesponsive
and generous in well merited applause.
In 1.-The Lions Mouth" is a strong play,
teeming with beautiful dialogue and
sparkling epigrams which Mr. Warde
brought out with clearness and great
force. His acting was splendid. He was
ably assisted by Mrs. Bruno as Linora,
Miss Mary Ward as Marcela, Frank
Henning as Marco. and Mr. Herman as
Fra Angelo. the latter being exceptionally
good. The entire company gave excellent
support and taken in every way the three
performances in Wichita were a decided
treat TO theatre goers.
Last night afte rthe performance the
EIks rendered Mr. Warde and the entire
company a reception at the Elks' rooms.

Specialize of Hot rogs
DR.. Cyrus Edison,
of flew York Health Department, and
DR.. LIBERMANN,
surgeon-GeneraI of the French Army.

H. Libermann, NJ. D., surgeon general
of the French army, in an article on La
Grippe Qnhuenza), recommends the fol-
lowing hot grog: "One-third goblet of
Vim Mariani, with two-thirds boiling
water, cloves and cinnamon. and with or
without sugar, makes grog of exquisite
flavor, which produces immediate 'bene-
fetal effect in severe cases of cold, at
tended by convulsive coughing and de-
preston. It is best taken at bed time.
In the grip epidemics in France it was
the tonic absolutely relied upon, and has
received frequent deserved mention in the
Medical Press. 1t has been shown that
patients recover very slowly, there is
much general weakness and lassitude, in
variably calling for something in the ma
ture of mild tonic stimulant, and it has
been found that Mariani Wine is I'M
equalled for such cases"
DR.. Cyrus Edison Of the New York
health department, has made a careful
study of the subject in his book on la
