INGOMAR AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

There was very good audience
at production of Ingomar by the
Waldorf Company at the opera
house last night but it was not
anywhere near what the play mer-
tied. Miss Waldorf as Parthenia
was at her very best. Indeed, many
of those who were present think
that she did better work in this
than in any other play she has
given here. Her tanning of the
barbarian Ingomar and her final
resolve to 60 with him whittier
he would, were pieces of
acting the like of which has not
been seen here before. Mr.. McVay
as Ingomar was faultless. His fine
physique, his deep voice and com
handing appearance made him at
once favorite with the audience.
In fact no other man in the COM
pany could have taken the part 30
we'll. He was as fine in his part
as Miss Waldorf was in hers. OF
Mr.. McGregor it can be said that
he sustained his already excellent
standing as an actor. His was a
very difficult part to play but, as
the misery merchant of Messalia,
he certainly did excellently. His
makeup was good. The play was
we'll sustained by the others in the
cast.

are the guests of ex-Secretary of the

the president promised TO visit last

land is Speaker Thomas b. Reed All
persons in any way concerned in their
presence at Jekyl assert positively
and unreservedly that the visit OF the
two rival political leaders at the same
time is a mere coincidence. Whether
any improvement of their strained
personal or political relations will
be one of the incidents Of their inevi.
table meetings on the island, no one
will predict. The speaker will proba-
bly, leave Jekyl Wednesday and the

DURATION OF TWO WARS.

Washington, March 90. 2.-Judge Ad

department.. has rendered an opinion
as to the date of commencement and
termination OF the civil and the Span
ish American war, as basis for calcu
lating the war service OF officers to be
retired after 80 years He holds tina,
the civil war began April IS, 1861, and i,
terminated August ]. 1855. when hos
tilities ceased in Texas, and not April
9. 1866, as stated by the supreme court
The Spanish-American war began, as
declared by congress, April 81, 1898
and it is held to be still in progress
1t is also held that, in computing the
80 years service. years spent in the
army or marine corps in time of actual
war shall count double, but no time
shall count for peace service.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
The Coropers Jury at Hntchlns"n' Man,
says Thst John Moore Killed HIS
Five Children.

Hutchinson, Kan, March 22.-The
five children of John Moore were muir
dered Tuesday night and the house
set on fire TO conceal the crime, accord
ing to the evidence at the coroner's IN
quest yesterday afternoon. The father
of the children has been arrested,
charged with the murder The heads
of the children were crushed with
hatchct The coroner's jury brought
in verdict last night charg-
ing Moore with the murder OF
his five children and he was taken
to the Jail. which was heavily guarded.
There was some talk of lynching, but
no organized action was taken At
the inquest Moore appeared indifter-
cnt, and when arrested for numbering
his children. merely remarked that it
was something new to him; he had
never been arrested before. He asked
the sheriff if he would be allowed to
attend the children's funeral After
that he would not talk.
Not until the physicians testified
that the children had been murdered
was there any public sentiment against
Moore. Last night Moore's wife re-
fused TO believe him guilty, but to-day
she admits that he must have killed
his children. The fear that a mob
might attempt to lynch Moore caused
the sheriff to take him to the McPher'
son county Jail last night The muir
derer was taken from the back of the
jail late at night and walked to a
point about mile east of town, where
it had been arranged for the train to
stop This action was not necessary,
as no attempt was made to enter the
Jail, although il was not known until
morning that he had been taken away.
NJ. W. Franklin, Mrs Moore's broth.
er, says they knew little OF Moore's
history. lie had told them that his
father beat him when boy and that
he ran away from home as soon as he
was old enough to travel alone. Even
in the last few years, since the Frank
Inns have known him, he has seemed
to brood over his early life and the
sting of cruel blows from a brutal
fathers hand seems to have never left
his memory.
The funeral of the five murdered
children was held here this afternoon
at two o'clock. Hutchins on people
contributed to buy them caskets and
they were given burial on lot bought
for them in the East Side cemetery.
Moore will be brought back here in
few days for a formal preliminary
trial. The officers believe that when
he returns he will confess to the mur
der.
