THE LOCAL STAGE.
Appearance of Hcnncssy LcroyIe in
"Other Peoples Money"


"other Peoples Money" farce by F..
o. Towne, was presented to small au-
dience yesterday afternoon and last night
by company headed by Hennessy Lo-
royle. The Indictment weather probably
had considerable influence in the matter OF
attendance, for the farce had been I'M
usually well advertised and the company
came well recommended. There are no
remarkable features in "other Peoples
Money" but 1t tells a story which Is quite
funny and as presented by Mr.. Leroyle
and his associates it serves to furnish u
considerable amount OF amusement. Mr..
Leroyle is seen as a Chicago stock broker,
who is not nearly so smart as he thinks
he is and who, through his efforts to get
control of "other peoples money" nearly
succeeds in making himself a pauper. Mr..
Leroyle has a method which IS all his
own and he Is seen to good advantage in
the part named Mr.. Delaney Barcley
does some character work as Marcenas
Clump, a fossilzed millionaire. which is
far above the average, and Mr.. James
j. Boyd is satisfactory as Painter j. 7.
Dean. Mr. Addison Pitt plays the part
OF STAFFORD, the clerk who gets the best
of the broker in little deal involving
both the money and the daughter OF the
latter rather cleverly and Miss May Sar-
geant is capable as Tilka Van Sittart an
other young person who succeeds in get
ting some of the brokers' loose change.
Helen Joes. as the brokers' wife, and Miss
Helen Young, as their daughter, are both
deserving of praise. With a little more
attention TO details, especially in the set
,ing of the stage, the piece might be made

Immediately Bloodhounds were procured

The motive alleged for the crime was
that Thompson was paying attentions to
Squier's sister. TO which Squier objected.
The testimony on which Squier was con-
vlcted was of a circumstantial nature

committed the deed. After his convic-

At the young mans trial hard fight was
made for his liberty. The best counsel to
be had was engaged for him and every
thing possible was done in his behalf.
After his conviction in the district court
at Liberty his case was taken TO the court
of criminal appeals, where he and his
relatives hoped that it would be reversed
These hopes were vain. however, for the
higher court affirmed the case some weeks

CHAMPION BOXER.
Rev. willard ". Boan, Champion Middle
weight OF Utah, Creates a Sensation In
san Franolsoo-He Has Not Yet nsen
Defeated.


Such is the strange visiting card Of a
young man recently arrived In San
Francisco from Salt Lake City. An
ordained minister who Is also a profess
sional pugllist is a rather unusual per-
son to meet with. the Rev. willard w.
Bean being the only specimen known
to exist. 1t also develops that this odd
character is possessed OF dramatic
ability in no mean degree, having com
pleted several very successful engage
ments as comedian in travelling COM
panies, and his talents also extend to
the teaching Of physical culture and to
literary work in the dryly humorous
vein Of the Bill Nve school.
The natural inference from the fact
Of so widespread and versatile a dis
play Of talent and energy would be
that the reverend pugilist is a type Of
the %proverbial Observation-Disclosures, and
master Of none" but such a conclu-
sion would be incorrect. In each line
Of action in which he has figured Mr..
Bean has proven himself superior to
the average talent. The. energetic
force, strong logic and o%ratorical pow
er Of his sermons and lectures have
given him the characteristic name Of
The Cyclone" In pugilistic pursuits
he has met many well-kDown men Of
the ring In his own class, and his rec
ord shows not a single defeat. Some
time ago he boxed with the famous
Choynski in a twenty-five round draw,
and for a number Of years he has been
the acknowledged champion Of Utah.
On n occasion 1t is said that this
versatile gentleman played the part OF
the comedian in a repertoire company
all week, including Friday night; on
Saturday night was n of the princi-
pals in a limited glove contest, and on
Sunday night preached to a large audi
ence, all in the same town and in the
same hall.
Rev. Mr.. Bean finds no difficulty in
reconciling his various callings. Il see
no reason" said he, why one cannot
be handy with his natural weapons
and at the same time be a gentleman.
He peither drinks, d~issipates nor uses
tobacco, and no one has ever been able
to criticize his moral character. It is
his avowed purpose to set a good ex-
ample and exhibit the possibility of
physical prowess going hand in hand
with clean morals and refinement.
And besides" says the champion of
muscular Christianity, Il like the con-
tests. Physical contests always had a
fascination for me. but l did not be-

The author Of "A Ramble Round the
Globe" tells of some surprising ex-
periences encountered in the region of
geysers and hot springs in New Zea-
land. One day he patronized the pho
tographer in Whakarewarewa. Being
interested in photography, he went in
to the dark room to see the negative
developed, and there experienced a
new sensation. Just as the photog-
rapher was beginning operations, the
wooden floor, which was about a foot
from the ground, seemed to get UNI
steady, and there was an omlnous
bump, bump, bump, directly under
meath, that was the reverse Of reassur-
ing. The photographer explained mat
tiers. That's only a small geyser be-
ginning to work." said he. Il have

intervals-the one just starting, an
other one there'-pointing to a corner

door, or whether It opened Of its own

marvellous sight, l didn't take long in
getting out Of that dark room. The

coolly, and let the baby geyser bubble
and gurgle under his floor In its own
sweet way. while 1, watching It from
