Ada RPhan

Miss Ada Rehan, who stands at the head of her profession as an exponent of legi- timate comedy. will give her inimttable rendition of Katharine in Flaming of the Shrew" There is nothing new that can be said of Miss Rehan in regard to the rendi- tion of the part; it is her masterpiece, and in 1t she stands without a peer, both in America and Europe. The play Is given in its entirety, instead of being cut as has usually been done. Miss Rehan is strong enough in her acting to give her company some little chance to show their ability also; therefore she does not feel It neces- sary to omit al, strong scenes but her own. She is an artist in every sense of the word, and holds every eye by the magnetism of her voice. and her grand and queenly pres ence When she makes her entrance in the second act to the end of the play she holds her audience as if spellbound, and 1t Is with regret that they see the curtain drop.
 The sale of seats for this enga gement will commence tomorrow morning at the box office of the Jefferson theater. Judging from the numerous inquiries that have been made for seats the engagement on Friday night will be prosperous one.

The Bostonians

The mere announcement that America s strongest and best opera company, "The Bostonians," will appear at the Jefferson theater tonight has created an unprecedent- ed demand for seats. Musical circles are agog with delightful expectancy and largo theater parties have been arranged to greet the ever popular members of this superb organization. This season youth and bsauty have been the keynote which has pitched chorus who so admirably second the efforts of the ever genial and graceful comedian, Henry Clay Harnabee, whose versatility and adaptability have kept him to the fore front of all operatic ventures. Besides, with the brilliant baritone, W. H. Mac Donald, whose superb vocal methods grace and finesse in acting stamps him as one of the really great artists the American stage, the spirited, beautiful and charming soprano, Helen Bertram, and the exquisite ly moulded contralto, Marcia van Dressne The Bostonians have a cast whose excel lence is beyond question, while George Buckingham, Frank Rushworth w. H. Fitzgerald, John Dunsmure. Josephine w. H. Fitzgerald Charles R. Hawley, Grace Cameron and the beautiful young danseuse, Edith Hendee, round out the performance to high state of excellence. No organi- Zation gives such care to detail as do 'The Bostonians" and no other company, with
 the possible exeeption of the Metropolitan
 Grand Opera company, carries with 1t such
 a complete orchestra, scenic, investiture
 and thoroughly competent chorus.

Claims He is Charley Ross.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug. 27.--JaiI.
ed for vagrancy in this city is tramp
who startled the recorders court this
morning by asserting that he is Charley
Ross, kidnapped from his parents
at Philadelphia about twenty. eight
years ago. The man produces docu-
menls intended to substantiate his as
sertion. He has assured the police
that man lives in New York who can
prove that what he says is true. The
New York police will investigate the
story. Ross says he has been tramp
ing about the country for ten years.
He carries with him picture OF young
Ross taken just before the kidnapping
occurred. There is strong similarity
between the photograph and the tramp's
face.
Philadelphia, Aug. N.-The story
from Poughkeepsie this morning to the
effect that young man arrested on q
charge of vagrancy is the Charley Ross
who was mysteriOusly Kidnapped from
his home in Germantown, Is years ago,
is discredited here. During the more
than quarter Of century that has
elapsed, there have been scores OF
claimants who have looked for life Of
luxury by establishing their identity as
the lost boy, but all nave failed. Mrs.
Sarah A Ross, the widowed mother,
and Walter L Ross, the banker, who
is brother, and who, although carried
of with Charlie, eluded mis- captors, are
both away from this city today.

Tragedy In a New York Hotel.

New York, Aug. IA tragic attempt
1t murder, followed by suicide, occurred
It $3.50 o'clock this morning, at the
VeDdome Hotel, at Broadway and 10th
street. H. ]. Ford, of Boston, shot
and probably fatally injured II. 81. Stud
iron, of Baltimore, and then placed the
weapon to his own head and sent ball
crashing into his brain. The men
came here last Friday to attend the
prize fight between Fits mmons and
Shsrkey. They were apparently Oh
friendly terms until they met this
morning in the Vendome bar room.
Then they fell out over some trivial
matter, the nature of which is
not known. They repaired to the
TO the room occupied by Studiron aud
there the shooting took place. At the
sound of the shots the door was broken
open and the men were found stretched
on the floor.
Ford died 10 short time and Strid.
iron is In hospital with his chance for
recovery slight. Before becoming un-
conscious, stridiron said: "Idon't know
why he wanted to kill me. He came
up to my room. 1t wss hot and he took
off his things. l walked over to touch
the button to order a drink. When
my back was turned, he fred at me. /
turned around and he let me have il
sgain straight in the forehead. l fell
back against the wall. He turned and
walked to the window. He put the
gun to his head and fired. His arms
went up in the air, as ne reeled. The
gun fell and hit the sill and bounced
out. | heard it fall on the street after
he fell dead in the floor" The cause OF
the shooting cannot be fathomed but
that it was premeditated is shown by
he following note found in Ford's
pocket. II read: "The better the day
the better the deed. hope my friend
will forgive me for this act. l hope to
spend a better life In the next world

ably dressed and frem their appearance

House Burned and Inmates Cremated

House Burned and Inmates Cremated
Gilman, ILL.,, Aug. N.-Two men a'e
dead, one women ana two men
are dying, the hospital IN
which young girl Ia said to
have been the victim OF msltreatment
has been burned to the ground and the
proprietors and three inmates may
hane been burned to death In the
flames. Bessie Salter died Friday
morning in the place In the outskirts
OF Gilman keep by DIR. Charlotte M.
Wright and an attempt had been made
by the girls family to bury her quietly.
An examination OF the exhumed body
revealed the fact that she had died
from malpractice and q warrant was
sgorn out for the arrest of Mrs. Wright.
Constable Mlstead went to the house
in the outskirts of the town, followed
by mob. After repeated demands
for admission, the door was broken
open. Another room was then attack
ed. As the door was beaten from its
hinges two shots were fred from with
in and Mike Ryan fell MORALLY wound
ed. de died within half an hour.
The mob then withdrew but at z
o'clock this morning a systematic effort
to fire the place was begun. Men car
ried bundles OF straw and hay to the
place, while the pickets kept a steady
fire on the windows. 1t was intended
to put cut the fire when 1t was hot
enough to drive out the inmates, but
the crowd lost control of the flames.
A movement Ia the bushes directed the
fire OF the pickets to that point. Their
shot5 were answered from the under
brush and a fusilade was exchanged.
As a result two men were wound ed.
Excitement here Is intense. The thicket
Is closely watched for the hidden
mark -men. 1t Is not known whether
DR.. Wright was in the building. Re-
ports are current that three girls from
neighboring towns were 10 the place.
When daylight came the mob rushed
into the brush and found the body Of
John Myers, an employe OF Mrs.
Wright. He was shot in q dozen
places. A few feet away lay Mrs.
Wright, with an ugly wound in her
rhoulder. She was unconscious. The
mob carried her into town to q pbysi-
clans Office but his efforts to restore
consciousness were unavailing. 1t is be-
lieved that she cannot recover. No
signs OF the three girls who are sup
posed to have been in the house when
it was burned have been found. None
of the members of the mob have been
arrested.
