..Beaucaire" Mt Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Oct AT the
new Garrick Theater tonight Richard
Mansfield and his p gave the initial
performance of 'Beaucaire," a play made
from Booth ~TarkingtOn's romantic novel
cite. Monsieur Beaucaire.' by Mr.. Tark-
ington and Evelyn G~reenleaf Sutherland, Of
Boston. 1t was the first performance at the
Garrick. The theater is not yet complete,
but the unfinished details were not apparent
to the audience. which was composed of
Philadelphia society people and filled the
house. The play was enthusiastically re-
ceived. and though a first night" is not a
measure of a plays future success, 'Beau-
caire" seems to nave the elements that win
popular favor. Mr.. Mansfield has the mas
terry of the French accent that the title
role requires, and he acted the part grace
fully. Mr.. Harrington and his family and
several Of his friends had come from In
dianapolis for the presentation of the play.
The play is in four acts and DIVORCES from
the lines OF the novelette,. Lady Mary Gar
Isle cOnfesses her love TO Beaucaire even
after his being disgraced. and at the end
they are betrOthed. Both these incidents
are foreign TO the book. In the latter Beau
cairo goes back to France TO wed his cousin,
leaving Lady Mary 10 recover from her
humiliation as best she may. The dram
atists and Mr.. Mansfield decided that in
this melodramatic day the new climax
would be most profitable for stage use.
Mr.. Mansfield will be seen in Monsieur
Beaucaire'' at English's Opera House, in
this city, later in the season. His engage
ment is for two nights.

RALPH REED RELEASED
JUDGE DALY's NAME USED. BUT NOT
BY HIS AUTHORITY.
He Says such Use of His Name Is a
FOrgery-Jail Emptied of
Democrats.

Jailer Wiltsie said yesterday that every
person remaining in the Jail and who might
possibly have a vote at this election is a
Republican. Every man but one sent from
Police Court who was released upon order
from Judge DAILY was a Democrat.
The one exception was Ralph Reed, VINO
was arrested several days ago and charged
with being a confidence man. He was
awaiting trial, and was released yesterday
upon an order signed, as had others before
in the day. by Judge DAILY.
Last night Judge DAILY heard Of the re-
lease of Reed, and said he had issued no
been given his liberty upon any order bear
ing his name it was a forgery.
There is only one place where blanks such
as releases are TO be found. and that is the
city clerks office. In that office are also
rubber facsimile stamps of Judge Days
signature, the use of which is limited to
himself and the city clerk. Judge DAILY adj
vised the police department OF the facts
last night, and an order was Immediately
sent out for the return of Reed to the
prison, if he could be found. There is little
probability of his capture here, as he was
identified through the Eertillon system as
a notorious crook, and without doubt left
the city at once. 1t WIS not thought his
release upon a forged order was for the
purpose Of permitting him to vote, as a
term in the penitentiary was staring him
i'm the face. 1t seems rather that the re-
lease of a number for Democratic political
purposes sent from Police Court TO the jail
was an occasion which was taken advan-
tage of by some one 10 give Reed his Tree
