named Aaron Rodney, Arthur Carringford
Uord Travers) and few other minor
characters II does not take long TO learn
that the old miller has promised his daugh-
ter In marriage TO Squire Rodney. who
had loved her since she was a little girl
and who had furnished Dunstan kirke
with the money necessary to save his prop
erty and to educate her. Hazel, however,
has her own ideas about matrimony and
although she admires Rodney very much,
she marries Carringford, whose only mis-
take Is in keeping the marriage secret.
This he thought necessary I'm order to rec
oncile his mother, who had planned a bril-
liant alliance for her son and who was
in very bad health. The miller disowns
his daughter. The play quickly runs along
into a more serious channel and as Lady
Carringford learns of her sons marriage
she seeks out the young wife and, per-
suaded by servants story, assures her
that the marriage was Illegal. Then Hazel
returns home only to find her fathers
door closed against her, as he had told
her II would be. She wanders out into the
night and the snowstorm and is only saved
by young lad who had idoliZed her.
Carringford, whose absence had caused the
trouble, soon returns and sets things right
and the miller. who had repented his cruel
ty very soon after Hazel had been driven
from the house, is seen at the close or the
play with his little family around him,
trying to make him forget the harsh things
he had said, and the DlindnesS Win Nhlcn
he had been stricken.
The strongest scene of the play, perhaps,
Is the climax OF the third act, where Dun
stan Kirke drives his daughter from his
home. In this Mr.. Sheldon, as the old
miller, does a remarkable bit of character
work and the audience, although in full
sympathy with the unhappy girl. cannot
help admiring the art with which Mr.: Shell
don portrays what may be termed a thank
TESS part. Miss Shannon in the title role
is quite sweet and lovable Hazel
is generally regarded by pretty much
everybody in the play. She is particularly
good in the third act, the heavy one Of
the play, Mr.. Kolker is an honest manly
Travers and Mr.. Macy true type of the
straightforward country gentleman. Mr..
Reynolds got much applause last night for
his very clever acting Pittacus Green,
in which part he is a decided hit. Miss
Rand as Dollie Dutton and Miss La Verne
as Mrs. Kirke carry the burden OF the Lam
cashire dialect along very nicely and are
we'll cast. Mr.. Webb, Mr.. Kramer and Mrs.
Companis finish out the cast in the lesser
roles, which they play admirably. Hazel

Case That Involves n Peculiar Point
Of Law Before Justice Hay.

Justice Hay had case brought before
him yesterday which requires a decision
as to the time a lien which a liveryman
may have on animals boarded by him for
a consideration ceases. Thomas Rouse.
liveryman, brought a suit in replevin
against Benno Mitchell. of the Crown
laundry. The evidence showed Mitchell
kept his horses and wagons in Rouse's
stable and before payment for the keep
ing removed the horses and wagons to an
another stable. The plaintiff alleges that he
did not know of their removal at the time
and replevined the animals, vehicles and
harness. The case was taken under advise
ment. The contention was made by the de-
PENDANT that the plaintiff had waived his
rights in replevin and for lien on the
animals by not briging action at the time
of transfer. The question as to whether or
not the vehicles and harness were subject
to attachment and replevin for the board
of the horses is also one of the points in
the case. The property, pending decision
of the case, was, upon bond being given,
turned over to the owner.

Representatives Of Electric Lines
Make Their Wants KNOWN.

Representatives of the interurban cleo
trio lines were before the Board of Public
Works yesterday and outlined the business
to be done by their respective companies.
Charles l.. Henry, representing the Union
Traction Company, and c. +. Coffin, of
the Greenwood line. stated that their COM
panies would charge scent fares in the
city so as to discourage local traffic in
order to secure room on the cars for the
out-of-town passengers. Mr.. Henry said his
line would be ready for business between
here and Anderson about the middle of
July. The Greenwood and Greenfield lines
will operate under the same conditions as
the Anderson line. II Is likely that the
roads will not be permitted TO haul heavy
freight into the heart of the city The
Greenfield line will be ready for operation
about the middle Of April. All of the mat
tiers submitted by the representatives of
the interurban lines were referred TO City
Attorney Kern.

NO PLAGUE ABOARD.
Transport Warren Escaped the Pest
and Reached Manila Safely.

In reply to an inquiry, DR.. s. H. Moore
yesterday received a dispatch from Surgeon
General Sternberg, at Washington, stating
that the transports Warren and Sher-
man arrived at Manila on Jan. g
The Warren sailed from San Fran
cisco on Dec. with six companies
of the Forty-ninth United States volun-
teer Infantry, and touched at Honolulu just
before the outbreak of bubonic plague was
announced. DR.. Moore's son Harry, who is
assistant surgeon Of the regiment, was
aboard the transport. and, in letter to his
father from Honolulu says the officers and
men spent some time ashore viewing the
sights. Later advices from Honolulu stated
the Warren hurriedly left that port on the
appearance of the plague and that she
would probably put back If the disease
broke out among the soldiers who had been
exposed to it. General Sternbergs telegram
indicates the Warren arrived at Manila
with all well on board. This news will re-
lieve the anxiety among the friends Of
young DIR. Moore and other officers who
sailed on the Warren.
