THE LOCAL STAGE.
Final Appearance of Eugene biair
in a Lady or Quality


The engagement OF w NJ. Wilkison's
was closed last night. The matinee per-
formance was well attended, but on ac-
count OF the extremely inclement weather
the audience present last night was small
one. Notwithstanding this fact, the piece
was produced with the same conscientious
attention TO detail that was characteristic
OF its presentation on the previous night
Mr. Brpmmell, the leading man, was in
better form than on the occasion OF his
first appearance and his work was strong
and effective throughout Miss Blair gave
her usual artistic Interpretation of the
character OF Clorinda Wildairs and won
golden opinions from her auditors by her
powerful and finished performance.
The company will leave this morning tor
Austin, where It will appear tonight. The
production is an excellent one and as such
is commended to all admirers Of art in the
drama.
Following the excellent production of
"a Lady of Quality there will be another
rare treat at the opera house this week
for two nights and matinee. Miss
Blanche Walsh and Mr. Melbourne Mde-
Dowell will present Sardou's great mas
terpece, La Tosca," tonight and for
matinee tomorrow, and VIII close the en-
gagement Friday night with Fedora
another of Sardous intensely strong plays
AS these productions will probably be the
last of the high class productions TO BE-
seen in Houston this season. it is, quite
likely that large audiences will be present.

Republican Testimony.

The following graphic description of
the workings of Quayism in Philadelphia
is copied from the editorial columns of
the Philadelphia Press, the leading Re-
publican journal in Pennsylvania and
the immediate organ and mouthpiece of
the Mckinley administrations
"If the people thoroughly understood
the facts concerning ballot-box frauds
and the extent to which elections are
debauched; If honest men understood as
they should that there are wards, like
the Fifth and the Seventh, where cleo
tions are dominated by thieves and
thugs; if they knew that in many divi-
sions the elections officers are jailbirds
or have no residence in the city; if
they realized as they should that tens
of thousands of names are crminally
put upon the assessors lists by criminal
assessors acting under orders from the
chiefs in election crimes; If they knew
that these fraudulent names were regu-
larly voted on by repeaters and person
ators, building up a fraudulent vote at
each election of from $4,000 to $4,000;
if, in short, the people of the city who
are not participants in election crimes
knew the appalling extent of them, and
that they have repeatedly defeated the
popular WILL there would be such an
uprising as would speedily put an end
to the whole business"

Contests Mothers Will.

The first hearing regarding the con-
tested will of the late Mrs. Mary M.
Hoyt, of Wilkesbarre, who left her
sister, Hannah Frances Miller, of Phila-
delphia, S150,O0O, and cut her son,
Frank w. Hoyt, off with $1,000, was
held at the county seat Friday. The
son is contesting the will. The facts as
set forth showed that Mrs. Hoyt was
about II years of age at the time of her
death, and had for about ten years
previous lived with her sister, Hannah
Frances Miller, to whom she left the
greater part OF her estate. The will was
dated January 8, 1891, and two codicils
were added on October 3, 1898.
As confidential adviser of Mrs. Hoyt
the surviving son alleges that her sister
exercised undue influence over his
mother, who, it is asserted, was weak
minded. He further alleges that at diff
ferent times previous to her death his
mother designated considerably property
as his. In the will, however, he was
cut off with 81 900 and some horses and
cows, in all about $4,000. The entire
estate is valued at about $15O,OOO.

Teachers Denounce Stone.

AT the closing session of the Luzerne
County Teachers Institute, held at
Wilkesbarre Friday, Governor Stone
was denounced in the resolutions for
"curtailing the state appropriation for
the common Schools" his action being
characterized as an "unwarranted as
sumption of authority, without prece-
dent in the history of Pennsylvania, and
as violating the duty of liberal support
which the state owes to the common
schools of this great commonwealth.
In another resolution the members of
the legislature from this county were
asked to use their best endeavor to get
the state appropriation increased.

Daniel Sully Tonight.

Daniel Sully, the famous Irish-Ameri-
can actor, will appear in his truthful
creation, "O'Brien, the Contractor at
the Grand opera house this evening.
The play hinges on the scheming of
three fnanciers to defeat the compile
tion of piece of railroad which a poor
contractor is pushing through and
which is to make him rich Failing to
make any headway by fair means, they
resort to trckery and deceit They
succeeded in winning over some of the
laborers, but they fail to induce the
Irishmen to betray their employer and
join the plot.
The arrival of O'Brien disguised, his
passionate pleading to the men to stand
by O'Brien, the contractor, has the de-
sired result; the men return to work.
The final blast is made-the rails nailed
to the ties-the roadbed of rock and
dirt hastily thrown in place-the
golden spike" produced and finally
driven home-complete the most nat
ural, truthful and exciting scenes ever
placed upon stage.

Putting Prisoners to Work.

From the Scranton Tribune.
Arrangements for putting into prac-

employing of prisoners in county iails
are being rapidly perfected by the re-
Gently organized prison board and by

squad Of the male inmates of the county
Jail will be at work grading the coun-
tvs vacant lot in the rear of the jail
County Commissioner Giles Roberts and
Warden W. L. Simpson have bought
picks, shovels, sedges, wheelbarrows
and other implements of labor.
Warden Simpson says that the prs;
oners as rule are perfectly willing to
work about the Jail yard or on the lot
adjoining, but declare they will revolt
against being taken into the streets to
work.
81 guess we'll find way of convinc-
ing them that it is to their benefit to
work as the prison board may direct

was first put into operation, rebellious
prisoners were put ON a bread and

was broken.
