The first performance Of this well
known play was given ut the Academy
of Music last night by O very COM
petent company, under the direction Of
Henry c. Minor. In this beautiful play
Mr. Hearn has Indeed tapped the very
fountain Of sympathetic emotions by
drawing his lines and situations direct
from the heart of American home life,
every shading of the picture being
y-re.aresentea.-4f II 4As-eHe- Of these
plays that everyone enjoys and leaves
Feeling that they have not only been
entertained and amused, but elevated
by the going. The scenic and mechani-
cal effects were very beautiful and
realistic.
A SUGGESTION.
Otis Skinner tells an amusing story
about liars. Once there was a clergy
man who went around delivering a
lecture. entitled "AIl Men are Liars"
and he had printed on his tickets, "All
Men are LARS. Admit ONE This
ticket was regarded as offensive, and
that fact seems to sum uo the whole
matter. You may say that all people
are liars, and everybody will agree
with you and no harm is done; but you
must not be more explicit than that
You must not say, you are lair
and you must not even say, "All
women are lairs." If you want to say
Il am a lair" that is your own affair.
and nobody will be surprised to hear it.

ATLANTIC CITY HARD.

1t is with much regret that the con-
gregation Of LeILies Memorial Metho-
dist Church will have to part with
their pastor, Rev. w. T. Williams, at
the close of the present conference
year Mr. Williams is compelled to ask
OF the Bishop another appointment ON
account OF the continued illness of his
wife. This course will be taken by
the advice of his physician, who says
that 1t is essential to Mrs. Williams
health that she seek another and more
suitable climate. This will cause the
surrendering of many warm ties which
bind him to his people. He has lab
ored faithfully and efficiently during
the year now drawing to n close, and
mortal Church was ever more univer-
sally beloved. While the church can
not. under existing circumstances, have
him as their pastor another year, they
earnestly wish for him abundant sue
Cess in whatever field he may be as
signed to.

MORE swINDLERs CAPTURED.
Parties Indicted for Using the Malls I'm
Fraudulent Scheme.

Savannah, Ga December 13.-Before
the grand jury Of the federal district
court was discharged last night it re-
turned indictments against ID. A. Ty-
son, j. r. Hammond, w. Z. Hutchin-
son, w. L. Jones andC. B. Reeves and
several others whose names are known
probably six or eight, for conspiracy
to defraud through the United States
mails The alleged scheme is one which
out-Millers the Miller Franklin syndi-
cate of Brooklyn in that the creditors
have received no returns whatever.
The alleged conspirators used finely
engraved and printed letter heads, or
dered goods from firms all over the
country transferred the goods received
from one party TO another and never
paid for them. 1t appears from the
evidence that the operations of the
combine were quite extensive, the
goods ordered and received embracing
everything from nails to telephone sup
plies and grand pianos.
Tyson, it is alleged, was the brains
and chief executive of the affair. Some
time ago he built a long distance tele-
phone line from this city to Swainsbo-
TO, connecting the intervening towns,
and the allegation is that he secured
all of the material and instruments for
the line by this system of fraud in or
dering through the mails. A mass OF
telephone equipment material is said
to be now in the depots Of the line of
railroads along which the parties to
the alleged conspiracy live.
The scheme is said to have been in
operation for several years. The sta
tionaIy and style of correspondence OF
the combination carried with them an
air Of eminent solidity and respectable
ity The indictments were found on
the complaint of Steiner, Lobman &,
Frank, of Montgomery, Ala.
