Of Americas most earnest and promis-

principles that are the groundwork OF
prosperous dramatic career. Mr..
Morrison will present THE Adventure

for matinee and night next Saturday,
January 18th, the picturesque comedy
drama by Anthony Hope. Many have
seen the actor in New York, when he
was the leading man Of the Frohman
stock company at the Empire Theatre,
and It was at that time that promi-
nent New York critic wrote. "He is the
best leading man on the American
stage" Mr.. Morrison has surrounded
himself with an nll-star company,
which includes Miss Traces Drake. the
beautiful woman who had New YOrk's
400 at her feet when she enacted the
leading roles in all the important Froh-
man productions.

ing Its Readers-Ths Gaylord Deal
Not Congummatsd.
The Evening News of yesterday falls
all over itEelf again In trying to right
one Of Its many wrongs. It appears to
have not yet recovered from one OF It's
periodical attacks of insanity and mem
daeIty and does not even show signs Of
Improvement. 1t is stlll diligently em-
ployed in cndeavoring to persuade It's
readers that the Gaylord Henderson
deal has been completed and the COM
slderation paid. This paper has not
called Mr.. John N. Henderson tabri-
Gator nor is 1t necessary to do so; Il Is
suficient to say that the deed has not
been delivered by the Gaylord Coal
Company to any purchaser, prospective
or otherwise; that no money or check
has been delivered to the Gaylord peo-
pie. for or on account OF any sale Of
their property by any person; and that
the Gaylord people do not now expect,
and have not recently expected, to re-
ceive for their property the sum Of
$4,000 as stated in the News, although
they have deal on hand which may
be contaminated. but If 90 not at those
figures.
II such sale is effected any person
feeling interested in 1t win receive re-
liable Information of 1t through the coll
umns of the Intelllgrncer. It seems
ridiculous to think that even such an
untruthful paper as the News would
publish such rot. absolutely void Of
facts in every respect, not even having
learned the correct price under consid-
Grafton.
Mr.. Henderson never thought for one
moment that he was in possession of
the deeds and was not surprled to learn
through this paper that they had not
been delivered to him. Furthermore,
Mr.. Henderson stated to a representa-
tive of this paper last evening that he
had not said to any person that he had
turned over the checks to the Gaylord
people, and he added that there was no
possibility of them going astray.
