The first regular matinee perform
ance OF the pied Piper OF Hamelin'

house yesterday afternoon, and the au-
dience was simply delighted with Miss
Eager's adaptation OF Browning $
beautiful poem. The performance was
a charming one in every detail. the
work of the children being even better
than it was at the dress rehearsal on
Saturday morning. and the solos and
dances were all warmly upplauded.
The hit of the performance, however,
was made by the sprightly and active
little star rat, impersonated by youth
full Thomas Coburn OF Boston, and his
unexpected and remarkable appear
ances were hailed with general delight.
The scenic effects were very realistic
particularly the scene OF the market
place in Hamelin town, where the fes-
tival in the "Jahr-market' were held.
A throng of peasants, market women,
flower girls and village children all
served to make up a beautiful tableau.
The appearance of the rats was so vi
wildly portrayed that many persons in
the audience were startled.
The dances were all executed with
grace and precision. ana many OF the
solo numbers had TO be repeated so
loud was the applause. Harry l.. Bates
as the Pied Piper, was very pleasing.

cured.
Judge Wheeler said: II heartily ap-
prove of th@,Iudgment OF the state at
torney and will accept such a plea. In
many states the crime charged against
this prisoner is denoted by the term
'manslaughter.' and is punished as such.
To proceed with the trial OF this case on
the original charge-second degree muir
der-would disarrange the business of
the state"
Mrs. Guilford was then put 10 plea, and
TO the question or the court clerk she
firmly said: Guilty of manslaughter."
Judge Wheeler announced that before
imposing sentence he wished to confer
with counsel for the accused and a re-
cess was declared. When court recon-
vened Judge Wheeler sentenced Mrs.
Guilford TO pay a nominal fine of 81 and
TO serve 10 years in the state prison.
