Jury. last Friday, called their attention
to trusts. He also took occasion to
censure Attorney General Griggs, say

"There is absolutely no hope that

That Washington has reason to feel
alarmed at the ravages of a bug which
bites mems lips while they sleep is
shown by the statement that no less
than 800 persons have been treated at
the hospitals and dispensaries in conse-
quence of its attacks. The bug is de.
scrlbed as a night flyer, which feeds on
other insects, and has only recently de
veluped a passion for human blood. Its
bite cause a painful swelling of the
whole face. There is every reason to
suppose that it will not be confined to
Washington, but will spread through
the country, and in fact one or two
cases have already been reported in
New Jersey. 1t will make mosquito
bars doubly necessary this summer.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Robert Mantell and the members of
his company proved themselves capable
of giving an enjoyable production of ro-
mantle drama at the Crawford theater
last night "A Secret Warrant" the
play selected for the opening of the en-
gagement here. is the lightest of the
actors present repertoire, and does not
deal over kindly with him a star.
That is, his opportunities during the
course of the four acts are scarcely
greater than those of several of the
other characters, but fortunately these
characters were in the hands of people
competent to sustain the interest of
the piece.
"A Secret Warrant" was written for
Mr.. Mantell by a newspaper man of
Montreal and while the story is by no
means deep, it is told in an interesting
manner. 1t has many a bright line to
enliven it and bear witness to the Wit of
the author. 1t is said that it was sug-
gested by an episode of French his
tory in the year 1920. and however this
may be, its plot and results are only
reasonable when considered in connec-
ton with that period in French history
Mr.. Manten is seen in the play as
Louis de Beaumont captain of the
Kings Guards, and he makes of il a
peculiar character. At one moment he
is the polished and gallant gentleman
OF France. and the next he has descend
ed to performances indicative of any
thing but gallantry and grace. The two

There are some disadvantages about
being rich For instance, it is said in
Topeka that Bale Waggener has to pay

think it is a waste of money to pay
out SO for taxes

Mantell has a fine stage appearance

mantle drama is SO akin to the melo-
dramatic that his DE Beaumont" of
last night was necessarily melodramatic
at times, but it was not Overdone in this
particular. His effective speech at the

he was compelled to respond to several
curtain calls.
The calls were not responded to by

but for the most part Miss MacGregor

Manter preceding the curtain in the
third act was in part responsible for the
outburst of applause that followed its
conclusion.
Mr.. Mantelrs principal support was
in the hands of Mr.. Lueden Mccormack,
Mr. Beverly Turner, Miss Marie Booth

four characters sustained by the re-
