NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Grand Opera House.

"On the Suwanee River" now in it's
fourth year of success, will be seen at
the Grand opera house for three days,
beginning tonight, 1t is a "hOme play
that is the kind to which our mothers,
wives and sisters may be invited. The
action Of the play is laid near the little
village Of Suwanee in Florida, and
hinges on the family of Clayton, one of
the oldest in the district. Colonel Clay
ton, an old planter, has given mort
gage on his. estate; the day of the
mortgage is due; Colonel Clayton and
old Caleb Croc, a hardhearted miser.
Dora Clayton, the cOloneps adopted
daughter, returns from the north,
whittier she had been to consult optic
experts regarding her sight, and the ex-
element attending the struggle and her
foster fathers murder, before her very
eyes, cause the complete loss of her
sight. In the struggle the murderer is
compelled to strike the cOlonel's son
blow on the head leaving him in a CO.
matose or inbecile state After the
murder the assassin manages to make
away with the money that was to have
discharged the mortgage.
The play then treats of the experien-
ces of the blind girl and the foolish son,
who, thrown upon the mercies OF heart
less and designing relatives, fare badly.
save for the kindly intervention of an
old colored nanny, aided by young
neighboring planter.
One of the strongest scenes shows a
forest picture on the banks of the IA
NOUS old stream Dora, being left alone
is wandering aimlessly about. She |
starts to cross a high wooden bridge, |
from which several planks have been
removed hurriedly by the villain of the |
story In the hope that the blind girl |
will fall through into the ravine below. !
Just as it seems positive she is about |
to step into the trap the old refrain Of |
sway Down Upon the Suwanee River"
comes floating through the woods from
q band of plantation singers near by.
Dora, hearing the song, stops, listens
for a moment, and turning. goes in the
direction of the singing. During an at I,
tempted abduction of the blind girl by
the villains, struggle ensues in which
her foster brother receives another
blow on the head, the effect of which is
TO bring back his reason. He thinking
that it is the same struggle in which
his father is killed, denounces Caleb |
Croc as the real assassin, thus clearing
the mystery of his fathers murder. OF
course the old familiar theme of the
mortgage is happily disposed of and all
ends peacefully "On the Suwanee Riv-

higher court would set the verdict aside and grant
him new trial He received large number OF
letters and the task OF reading ana answering
these kept MIN busy all day.
Marshall Van Wrinkle. Barkers chief counsel, said
his future course would depend circumstances
Should Barker receive a severe sentence ne salo
he should certainly advise an appeal. but If he
should be sentenced for short term only he would
advise Barker to abandon all idea of an appeal
and begin 10 serve his term at once. In this way
his term would be served and ended before an APP

would be better than taking appeal, which
might end adversely after all
