don, In lecture under-the auspices of the
department of architecture of the univer-
sity. Prof Joseph c. HOrnblower intro
duced the speaker of the evening Mr..
Hornblower said Mr.. Ashbee was continu-
ing the traditions of the late William Nor
ris.
Mr. Ashbee exhibited some specimens OF
the silver work designed and made at Es-
Sex House, and also by means of slides
showed examples of the woodwork that
came from the shops. In the same way
he gave an idea of the appearance of the
building occupied by the guild, and also
displayed specimens of the furniture. He
answered questions and made his talk
pleasingly informal. He showed the first
book that had come from the press at Es-
sex House. and said they had lately ac-
Quired the plant of the kelmscott press,
which was conducted by Mr.. Morris.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-Nellie McHenry
and her company scored a decided success
in Miss at the Academy last night. The
audience was large, and evinced its appre-
cation by numerous curtain calls. To any
one who has imbibed the inspiration of Bret
Harte's prose poem from which the drama
takes Its name 1t would seem that little
more than the name was infused into the
play. But as this is a failure so common to
pieces 1t seems scarcely fair to notice 1t in
connection with the general effects attained
Certainly this dramatization of "M'liss' ap-
peals to the popular ideal Of life in the far
western mountain mining camp. To that
extent 1t is a decided success-H pleases. OF
the individual work of the people in the
cast 1t would bo lard to point out supe-
rority. OF course, Miss McHenry's vim
and dash in the title role is very attractive
to the audience. She fully interprets the

Washington, Oct. %. Christmas
packages for American soldiers serv-
ing abroad will be transported by the
government free of charge from either
San Francisco or New York. This was
done last year and proved popular.
The government will not undertake,
however, to transport packages to sol
diers in service in China, or to volun-
teers now in the Philippines. A trans
port leaves New York for the Philip
pines on November 5, and will take
Christmas packages, but it will re-
quire so days to make the trip, where
as the voyage across the Pacific is
shorter. Express or freight charges
should be prepaid to San Francisco or
New York. Packages for soldiers in
Cuba and Porto Rico should be sent
via New York

FAMOUS AUTHOR DIES.
Charles Dudley Warner Expires Sud-
denly from Heart Trouble In
Hartford, Conn.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 22.-Charles
Dudley Warner. the well-known au-
thor and lecturer, died here suddenly
Saturday night Mr.. Warner had
dined with Senator j. II. Hawley Rev.
Joseph II. Twitchell and Col. Frank
Cheney, as the guest of Samuel G..
Durham. Following the dinner he
called at the office of the Hartford
Courant, of which he is part owner,
for short stay and then went for a
walk. An hour later Gen. Hawley and
others were summoned to the house
of colored family named Smith, on
Windsor street, where they found the
body of Mr.. Warner. who had died
very suddenly.
He was interested in the family and
supplied them with many books. 1t
is said that he called at the house,
and, after talking few minutes, was
seized with fainting spell and called
for water. He complained of the heat
and asked the privilege of lying down.
He soon fell asleep and breathed
heavily. In ten minutes he was dead.
Medical Examiner Fuller pronounced
death due to heart failure.

IN DANGER FROM BoERS.
President Kruger Secretly Goes on
Board Warship to Escape Ire
of His COuntrymen.

Lorenzo Marques, Oct. 20.-Mr.
Kruger was secretly taken at five
o'clock last Friday morning on board
the Dutch cruiser Gelderland, on
which vessel he sailed for Holland.
The reason given for Mr.. Kruger's
embarkation is that he feared the
Beers here would attack him. The
feeling of the refugees against Mr..
Kruger for fleeing from the country
is very strong.
Pretoria, Oct. 19.-The Beers are
daily tearing up portions of the rail
road and cutting the telephone and
telegraph wires. Their attacks are
intolerable. The repairing linesmen
cannot leave the garrisoned points
without considerable escorts. The
only remedy seems to be to corral all
the burghers and deport them, as APP
parently none can be trusted.
