MARTHA TONIGHT.

Martha is not, strictly speaking,
grand opera, like Lucia, Trovatore and
,.fbe balance of the list in the repertoire
of the Boston Lyric, and yet 1t Is al
, ways classed as such and given under
that head by all the great opera com
paAies of the world. 1t is true the
music is sublime, but lacks that in
tensity that grandeur of the other so
classified productions.
Miss Andrews will have an oppor-
tunity of displaying the quality of her
voice without being drawn upon for
its fullest compass. The choruses are
superb. The story Of the opera is most
interesting.
The opera for Saturday matinee will
be Pirates of Penzance and at night,
Olivette, in which both Miss Stanton
and Miss Andrews appear.

with whom she had lived for a number
of years, had secretly married a young

and intimated that he was tired of her.
whereupon Mrs Aveling said the best

allowed her to send to a drug store for
poison and went out walking while she
drank it. The public prosecutor would
have taken action in the matter but for
DR.. Aveling's sudden death on August
last.
Mrs. Elanor Marx-Aveling was the

It Bears in Red Ink the Written Curse
of the One Who Paid It.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3.-On a silver dol
lar certificate which has been in circu-
lation through the city and which reach
ed the sub-treasury today, written on
the back in red ink, are the following
words:
1.-THE last one have. Take it; you
took all the rest, and with it my soul.

On the face appears in the same ink:

tiers: "Your work is complete. One
hour more and will be dead"
The course of the bill has been traced
to a theater, where 1t was paid in by
two young women. After securing the
tickets one of them turned back and
said: "That bill has blood on it."
On going home the night he received
the bill, the ticket seller found that the
rubber feed pipe of his gas range had
burned in two and the flames had igni-
ted the kitchen woodwork. The next
morning he told the manager of the
theater, who at once ordered the "hoo-
doo' bill to be changed. 1t passed into

concentrations.
He Opposes Letting Contracts
to Lowest Bidder.

Haverhill, Mass, Jan. S.-John c.
Chase, elected ON a Socia1istc platform
took the oath of Office Of mayor OF
HaverhiI today. In his inaugural
speech Mr.. Chase assured the members
of the city government and the people
that every atom of power possessed
by the mayor will be Exercised in the
defense and support Of the principles
of socialism in so far as they may be
applicable to municipality" Inc
mayor then referred to the desirability
of preserving equal rights upon which
1.-The liberty and happiness OF every
man, woman and child, are condition
ed" and asserted that these are possible
Of attainment "only through the estan-
lishment of the cooperative common
wealth"
Continuing, Mr.. Chase said:
81 believe that every power the mu-
nicipality possessed should be placed at
the disposal of the people in the interest
of civilization. With that aim in view
I submit the following specific recon-
mendation:
"First-The passage of an order
establishing the minimum wage 1or
street employees at 81 for eight hours
work.
"Second-Union wages and conditions
to prevail in all brick and stone masons,
work performed under the direction OF
the street department.
''Third-All city printing to bear the
union label"
The mayor then took up the subject
of the unemployed, which he said had
developed from the displacement OF
labor by machinery and the concentra-
ton of capital and question which, he
said, no municipality could solve, as II
had become a national and international
one.
yet" he said, some little relief at
least can be afforded by this city gov
eminent therefore recommend:
''F'irSt-That you proceed 30 secure a
tract of land suitable for the raising or
food products, and that such Of the I'M
employed as desire may be permitted to
use this land, the city to furnish proper
seeds and tools.
'Second-The enlargement of the fuel
yard at the city farm to such proper
lions as will permit who desire to earn
by their labor such fuel as they may
require.
'Third-The appropriation of such an
amount of money as circumstances may
warrant to be used in providing en-
ployment directly upon public works,
not in competition with the regular en-
ployes Of the city, but upon special
works, two kinds Of which 1 herewith
suggest:
"First-Improvemen of the park
system; second, construction Of syS-
tenn of bicycle paths through all prin-
cipal thoroughfares.'
Mayor Chase condemned the system
of contracting with the lowest bidder
for city work, and said the system
should not be tolerated. He said: Low
bids means cheap work Cheap work
means cheap men and low wages, and
low wages lower the standard ofcitizen-
ship. The city should perform it's own
work and furnish it's own material, CIV
ing employment to it's citizens
The mayor advocated increased ap-
propriations for educational purposes
and municipal ownership of the electric
lighting plant and street railways.

There Until He Died.

relatives. Gradually he became weaker,
and today died of inanition.
Two years ago he went to the Wabash
Church Furniture Factory and an
nounced that he wanted his coffin made.
He was in fine health and his remark
was received in jest. He insisted. how
ever, that he desired to be buried In a
casket which suited him.
He was measured and gave minute
directions to the man assigned ta the
work. He selected some good oak. ask
ed to be notified when the coffin was
completed and departed. He subse-
quent1y. complimented the work, paid
the bill and had the coffin stood In a
corner Of the ware room to await the
summons which came today and the
body now reposes therein.
DR.. Ford was nearly 80 years of age,
served as a brigade surgeon In the re-
belllon and was known all over the
state. He was one Of the founders of
Butler University at Indianapolis.

HANNA is POPULAR.
Accessible to Callers at Any Hour of
the Day.

Washington, Jan 3.-With all his mil
lions and his exalted station tn life,
Senator Mark Hanna Is most demo-
cratic In his manners. He occupies
handsome but unpretentious quarters at
the Arlington and they are open to any
one having legitimate business. He sees
newspaper men and politicians at all
hours of the day and at any reasonable
time of the night. He rides to and from
the capitol in a street car, always pay
ing his fare. The traction companies
rendered him free transportation, but he
returned it with thanks.
In the senate he is most accessible
man. The man or woman who sends
card to him is generally asked into his
presence. One day last week on Ohio
office-seeker came into the marble room
and asked for Hanna The latter came
out and after talking q few minutes
said:
"Have you enough money to tide you
over?"
The office-seeker replied that he had
not, whereupon Hanna de1ved into his
pocket and peeled from big roll OF bills
a note the denomination of which Is not
disclosed, and as he handed It over said:
You had better take this until I do
something for you,' and with this the
off1ce-seeker bowed his thanks and de-
parted.

NEW KIND OF PROJECTILE.
Its Inventor Claims It Can't Be Ex-
ploded Until It Leaves the Gun.

Philadelphia, IAN. ga new projectlIe
for warships has been invented by John
V. Rice, Jr., a young engineer of this
city. Its chief value, the inventor says,
is that st cannot be exploded until it
leaves the gun.
"a shell fired into a magazine filled
with my projectiles," he declares,
would not explode them. They develop
on explosion a. pressure of 220 tons to
the square inch, and are much more
destructive than dynamite shells, and,
unlike dynamite, develop heat capable
of setting fire to any thing with which
they come in contact
Mr.. Rice is only 26 years old. At II
he devised a triple cylinder gas and
steam engine, which was at once placed
on the market by a Wilmington, Del,
firm. Since then he has taken out more
than 40 patents.

STARS IN A NEW PLAY.
Author of "Charley's Aunt" Produces
ga Little Ray of Sunshine"

London, Jan. 3.-w. s. Penley, the
creator Of "Charley's Aunt reappeared
in London at the Royalty theater last
evening in a new role, which is the
droIlest seen here in a long time. The
play is entitled "a Little Ray of Sun
shine" 1t is by Mark Ambient and
Wilton Heriot and Is in three acts. The
time is Christmas eve and the scene an
English country house, the holly decked
hall of which furnishes a beautiful pic
ture.
Mr.. Penley's role IS that of an eccen-
trio, little old lord, who has made a for
tune in Australia and returns to his
homestead on the eve of the wedding of
his niece to Sir Philip Ashton. The fun
centers about his being mistaken for
various persons, including a money
lender who is about to secure the estate
for debt.
The first two acts are crowded with
laughter and the last with most effec-
tive pathos. The lord pays the debt
and his identity is discovered in a pretty
scene enhanced by the singing of carols
outside.
Reed Smith, julius Royanton and Jes-
sic Bateman are the principal support
ers of Penley.
