The Royal Box.
Last Friday night at the Oliver Mr..
Charles COghlan and his excellent
company played The Royal Box; a 70.
mantle play In five acts founded on a
drama by Alexandra Dumas and
adapted by Mr.. COghlan. The pay
has some weak points, Mr.. Coghlan
and his company none. From the
star to the fOOtman the acting was
fawless. 1t was as good as book
which Is usually much better than q
play. The vraisemblance Of costumes,
furniture and manners to the first
years Of the century when George Nv
was still prince of Wales was complete
enough to satisfy the audience, which
knew no more Of the period than that
men wore knee breeches. low shoes,
and took snuff; that women wore en-
pire gowns, we're invariably intri-
guantes, and that the manners OF both
men and women were hOwery and
more deferential IL less sincere than
they are today. The audience had
learned these things about the first
years Of the century from books,
prints, and miniatures. The artistic
and scholarly designer Of the costumes
and furniture for The Royal Box
knew the outward aspect Of people
and things Of the time he sought to
recall from closer study Of "remains"
just as Dumas was able to reproduce
the words. the manners. and the pecu.
liar habit Of thought, 80 that the cpl

sents it, is exquisite and lasting. 1t

gives play and its performance an
abiding favor. Mr.. Booth never for

MAY BE RICH AGAIN.
Fortunes Wheel Is Again Turning for
the Paiges, of Ohio.

AKRON, o., Oct. G.-As the result of a
Appeals, David r. Paige, formerly con-
gresham from this district. and now living
in New York, and his brother, City Com
missioner Albert T.. Paige, of this city, will
become rich once more. The troubles of
David r. Paige, about ten years ago, are
historical. The Paiges and Gen. d. M.
Carey, of Cleveland, composed the firm of
for six miles of the Croton aqueduct. in
New York city. When the work was con-
cluded claims for about 81, 900 for extras
were thrown out. and payment was refused.
OF this amount, Paige, Carey & Co. held
nearly 81. 600, coo. On top of this came the ex-
plosion regarding over 100000 worth Of pa
per given by DIR. Paige. and bearing the in
of Cleveland. Huntington was on his death
bed in Europe and died before he could tes-
tify whether the notes were genuine. After
his death his executors refused to honor
the notes, claiming that the indorseeS were
forgeries.
Paige fled TO South America. In 1895 he re-
turned and compromised the Huntington
notes for 70 per cent. in cash and 80 per
cent. In new notes, secured by the claims
held against the city OF New York. He then
devoted all his energies to securing a de-
duct work. A test case finally was pushed
through, and the decision is now from the
court of last resort. After all the obliga-
tions of the Paiges are paid a comfortable
widow of Carey, who was killed by a fall,

RATIFIED BY UNIVERSALISTS.
Chicago Platform of Principles
Adopted by a Large Majority.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 23.-The biennial
convention of the Universalist Church was
opened here to-day after nearly a week
of preliminary meetings. Charles L. Hutch
inson of Chicago presided, and the prelimi-
nary devotional service was conducted by
the Rev. Joseph Croker Snow Of Haver-
hill. The first business taken UP was in
troduced by a motion to ratify a new plat
form of principles by the acceptance of
which the Universalist body gives up for
ever the Winchester confession of faith
adopted by it in 1903. The new declaration
Is the result Of a conference of Boston
Universalfst ministers and was drawn up
by the chairman of that committee, Rev.
George Il. Knight, of Tufts College. 1t was
adopted by the Universalist body at its last
biennial convention in Chicago, but under
the bylaws had to lie over two years for
Pawtucket, r. l., moved its ratification.
The Chicago declaration is as follows:
The essential principles of the Universe.

God; the spiritual authority and leadership
Of His son, Jesus Christ, the trustworthf-
ness of the Bible as containing a revelation
from God; a certainty of retribution for
sin: the final peace and harmony of all souls
with God.
The ratification was voted: 1872 in favor; 10
adverse. The most important feature OF the
proceedings aside from the adoption of the
new articles of faith was the admission of
a ueleSatlOn neaueu Dy REV. Everett Hale,
Of the Unitarian general body, for confer
ence on the subject of a union of the two
denominations. DR.. Hale addressed the con-
vention. He said the leading feature OF
Unitarian life. as DIR. Lyman Abp1tt de-
scribed 1t to the speaker, was the forward
look. combined with the determination to
keep fast our historical relation to the lea

At the evening session Governor Wolcott
spoke of the Universalist creed as he un-
derstood IL. and gave the delegates a cor
dial welcome to the State.

I'm that he did not believe in the doctrine of

He said that the most awful and splendid
fact in human life is that God puts the reins

REV. P. M. M'CABE DEAD
CATHOLIC PRIEST WHO AIDED
JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY TO ESCAPE.
Changed Clothes with the Irish Poet
While the Latter Was a POIiti-
cal Prisoner in Australia.

WASECA, Mimi. Oct. 23.-Rev. p. NJ.
McCabe, the well-known Roman Catholic
clergyman, died Saturday evening of
Bright's disease at St. Mary's, a small mis-
sion near here. His death recalls an ex-
plot in which he was a conspicuous actor.
1t was Father McCabe who was instru-
mental In liberating the political prisoner,
job Boyle O'Reilly. who afterwards be-
came the noted American poet. O'Reilly was
detected propagating Fenianism in England.
He was arrested and sentenced to penal
servitude. 1t happened that Father McCabe
was stationed at the Australian prison as
chaplain. To him O'Reilly confided his in
tention of making his escape. The priest
offered to hide him. On a dark night in 1869
the two met by appointment and the priest
and the prisoner exchanged clothes. In this
disguise O'Reilly departed In an open boat
without food or drink. After three days of
terrible exposure to the perils OF the sea
O'Reilly was picked up by an American
whaler and carried to Liverpool. Thence he
made his way quietly to the United States.
The priest reported TO the prison officials
that he had been waylaid by the convict
who compelled him to make the exchange
of clothing. When the truth leaked out later
on Father McCabe was obliged to make a
hasty departure from Australia. He came TO
this country and applied 10 Bisop Ireland for
q charge in this diocese eighteen years ago.
He has remained in Minnesota ever since.

Moore. too, was in good condition, but this
awaited him nothing against the superior
science of the Californian. Choynsh had
the advantage in height, reach and weight,
but Moore was plucky and took a hard beat

carried fight 10 Joe at every turn, and
forced him about the ring with rights and

round Joe had his man sized up. and after

The third round was all In Choynski's favor.

with right-hand punches on the jaw. Moore

regain his feet twice within the count, but
While essaying to do the trick a third time

INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLE.
What the Correspondents Say About
the Fight at E~landslaagte.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Interesting and graph
ic accounts are supplied by the war cor
respondents of the battle of Elandslaagte,
from which extracts are given below. The
Daily Mail publishes the following descrip-
ton of the battle from G. w. Stevens,
filed at Ladysmith:
1.-The battle was a brilliant, complete sue
cess. The Beers numbered from 100 to
1900 and probably had about 100 killed and
$50 wounded. The fight itself was, like
a practical illustration of handbook tactics,
each arm reported doing its proper work to
perfection. The Gordon Highlanders in their
attack advanced in magnificent order. They
were Immediately saluted with a heavy fire
which told from the first. Their major fell
with a bullet in his leg, but as he lay
where he fell, he lit a pipe and smoked
p~lacidly, while the advance continued. AS
man after man dropped, supports were
rushed into the firing line. our men darting
from cover to cover, splendidly led and ever
advancing. Yet, as ridge after ridge was
won, the Hi~ghlanders still found a new
ridge confronting them and thus they
fought their bleeding way until the hnal
ridge was neared, with nearly every officer
down. Then. slamming every available man
into the firing line. Manchesters, Devons
and Light Horse all mixed. with bugles
chanting the advance, bagpipes shrieking
and the battle a confused surge, our men
swept yelling forward, but the position was
won. Meanwhile squadrons of lancers and
