DAVID GARRIoK.
Mr.. Roberts Again Makes Decided
Impression at the Opera House.


Impression at the Opera House.
1t is a toss up whether felicita-
tons should be more especially
extended to Mr.. Roberts or to the
very enthusiastic audience which
so thoroughly appreciated him
last night in Robertson's comedy
of David Garrick. They may sim
plify the dilemma by joining
forces in the compliment and in
extending sympathy to the
absentees.
We have seem and who has
not, several Garricks, but, as
comparisons are too often more
odious than accurate, we shall be
contented in saying that the inn
personation of Mr.. Roberts was
very able and very excellent, and
we anticipate that this verdict,
with the requisite quota of super
latives to meet the occasion, will
be endorsed by larger, if not
more intelligent, audiences than
the one he veritably took by
storm last night and won from
the very respectable gathering
applause which was too spontan-
eous and hearty to be anything
but most genuinely and honestly
deserved.
To acceptably personate the
David Garrick of the comedy re-
quires a very clever versatility of
talent and temperament, or else
the part is overstrained and drifts
into ranting mediocrity and a
burlesque of noble emotions
which after all, and in spite of
the mask under which they have
occasionally to be hidden, are
based upon the principle of the
highest honor. Mr.. Roberts pos
sesses these qualifications to a
very marked degree and what
ever may be his present inten-
tions we look forward to the time
in the very near future when he
will be separated from his pres
ent surroundings and be installed
upon much higher plane of his
trionic altitude. Such are his
deserts and in these days of the
elevation of the stage merit
carves it's own way through intel
hgent audiences and still more
intelligent and wary syndicates.
AS Ada Ingot Miss Madge Cor
coran rendered a very intelligent
and charming support, the appre-
citation of which was not marred,
let us hope, by feminine envy of
her beauteous and tasteful
gowns.
Mr.. Percy Ward as Simon In
got was clever and competent and
the Squire Chivy of Mr.. Towns
hend deserves complimentary
mention and the general support
was all that was necessary to
give the piece a merry run and
to act as foil to the leading
parts. The cast was as follows,

Miss Scissor. Scotch missionary, who
has been "a years in Africa, has her
self saved the lives of over so twinA
When twins are born, they are at
once taken from the mother. and II no
one mercedes they are at once taken
by the feet and head and have their
backs broken across native woman's
knee. in the same manner as one would
break stick. The bodies are then
placed in an earthenware receptacle
and taken to the bush. where they are
devoured by the flies. insects or ami.
mails. Sometimes the little victims
are put into these receptacles alive and
are then eaten alive in the same way.
The mother becomes an outcast. II
she does not at once take her own life,
she has to flee to the bush. II she
ventures near the town or village, she
must see that she does not remain on
the path when any other native II com.
ing. Her presence. according to their
superstition, would defile the place for
others. She must not drink from the
same spring. must not touch anything
even belonging to her own relatives.-

again slowly toward the glowing logs.
Mason, bewildered and dazzled by
the change into light and warmth, al
most staggered when he found himself
once more on level floor.
The farmer had advanced to the
fire and, bending to warm his hands in
the blaze, said a few words to the old
woman. They formed a question,
Mason knew by the tone. But he
could not understand it, as it was in
the Welsh language.
AS the farmers thin, muscular hands
were stretched out over the flames
Mason caught sight Of a ring on the
little finger Of his right hand which
caused him to shudder with horror
which chilled his blood.
1t was an old fashioned ring, of sim
gular design. In broad band of gold
deeply and heavily chased was set a
circle of plain gold half an inch wide,
In which was an amethyst of deep
purple color.

taken for another; old fashioned,

A fact Of some interest in railroad
construction is the great diversity In
the number of ties used to the mile on
different lines, as well as in the size
and quality Of timber. Thus, accord
ing to the construction details Of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railway, the number Of ties used on
that line is $500 to the mile, three
quarters Of these being chestnut and
one-quarter oak, while some roads suse
1000 only. or $500 to the mile. More
than 60 per cent of the ties are cut 8
feet long, IL per cent o feet and ths
rest 81 feet long; the nine foot ties azs
used chiefly by the southern and gulf
group Of railroads, where pine timber
is very abundant and cheap. The New
England roads have their ties cut from
five to six inches in thickness, whils
the southern roads seem to prefer sew
en- inch ties; the width of the ties like
wise varies from five to six inches In
New England to eight inches In the
central northern and the southern

CITES MANY FOR CONTEMPT.

Judge Scott of Omaha Summons Batch of
Alleged Reoalcitrants.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 1S.-Judge Scott
is finishing up his term on the district
bench with brilliant display of legal
pyrotechnics and contempt cases. The
first thing in the morning he cited
Frank Harris Of the Chicago Wreck
ing company, which Is tearing down
the exposition buildings, for contempt
for dismantling building in the face
of an injunction. With this for a
starter he took up the Dodd habeas
corpus case. Judge NJ. r. Hopewell,
who preceded Scott ON the equity
bench, was first cited and a deputy
sheriff sent after him. The charge
against Hopewell is that he advised
his client, who has one of the children
in controversy in his keeping, to pay
no attention to Scott's order to pro-
duce it in court. The other parties
wanted are persons who are alleged to
be concealng the children and keep
ing them out Of the reach of the sher-
iff. In all there are nine persons in
volyed in the proceedings, but only
the two preachers already fined have
been brought into court.

AT the time of his retirement to

Perrine of "The Last Years of Wash

Journal.
Excepting his gray hair and his
false teeth and some trouble in hear
ing there was little of the usual ap-
pearance of age in his muscular per-
son. his gait and his strong, pock-
marked face. He was affable and
merry with his best friends. but while
he had the true hospitality Of south
ern gentleman in inviting every Wis.,
itor from distance to his table or to a
bed over night. his politeness was gen.
orally formal. Yet If he particularly
enjoyed the conversation of guest he
would pay him the compliment Of lis
tening to him until after . O'clock, or
even of lighting him with the candle to
bedroom for the night.
Mrs. Washington at this time was a
healthy, pleasant and transformations
little woman. still showing traces Of
good looks and with seldom any other
thought than Of playing respectfully
her role of mistress of the house of u
country gentleman, of caring for the
negroes or of amusing herself with her
knitting. She had great pride in her
recipe for making cherry bounce
and ON midsummer day she cut out
81 pairs of breaches for the men work
ing on the farm. She had said that
she and the general felt like children
just released from school when he left
the presidency. and she told of her
satisfaction in settling down again to

sinia housekeeper, steady as clock,
