DAVID HARUM.

William Fl. Cranes makeup as 'Da- vid Harum" in the dramatiZatiOn Of khe novel of that name. which is to be presented at Poli'S on Thursday even- ing, following it's long run at the Gar rick theater, New York. which closed last Saturday evening, is said to be capitally conceived. Nature. to be sure, seems to have fitted the actor for the part of "Harum'' in q physical way. The shrewd old banker and horse trader the actor shows is man of medium height and inclined to be stout. Crane looks the part of Har- am to the life, and every move of the man Is HarumesQue. As description Of men. women and manners in cen fra1 New York, WestcottS book has been 8 phenomenal success and the same adjectives apply to it as dra- matic entertainment There are a great many things about the play that will tend to give it long life. It is full of the atmosphere of the country, the love story between John LenoX and Mary Blake is very pretty, and everything about the work is bright, fresh and quaintly humorous. The desire to see the work is very strong and has been made manifest by the number of inquiries which have been made regarding it. The production is a most satisfying one and has had great amount Of care and attention lavfshed upon it. The sale of seats begins tomorrow morning at % cents to S1.50. and announcement is made that. owing to the heavy expense of bringing Mir Crane here, the free list will be absolutely and entirely sus- pended.

SORROWS OF SATAN.

The very important announcement is made that William A. Brady's big production of "The Sorrows of Satan" will be given at the Jacques on Thurs day. Friday and Saturday, the engage nent opening with a special matinee on Thursday The importance of this engagement will be recognized when it Is known that Charles Kent heads the cast, playing the same role he had last season when the play was pre- sented at Polls for high prices. He will be supported by practically the same company, making the engage ment one of the most imposing ever played in Waterbury for popular prices. Mr Rents last appearance here was in the important role of the King. in Viola Aliens presentation of 'In the Palace of the King He is one of the most finished actors on the American stage. and in the leading role of ~The Sorrows of Satan" he has role that fits him to perfection. The engagement ought to crowd the Jacques to overfowing at every per formance.

 Evelyn fastened questioning, half distrustful gaze on her lover.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The next month was December. Christmas day was made known to the Fanshaws chiefly by the fireworks which were discharged by the negroes on the Hasbroolse estate. The dawn came in with a great toeting of horns, beating of old pans, the discharge of guns, the bursting of inflated hog bhdders. There was to be a cake walk in the barn, dance, barbecued OK, glorious feast, a Christmas tree
 The Fanshaws were not going to in- dulge even in an extra dinner. Ronald had remembered his hands by pres cnts cf money. but they were going to spend it in town. Something, how ever, did happen to mark the day as all eventful one. Old Jade Fanshaw was brought home in Bud Tarbell's dump cart, on pile of wheat straw, covered by an old quilt. This oc- cured about 12 o'clock in the day. Ronald remembered that it took place just as the dinner bell rang at. Carn- leigh. Bud Tarbell told the little group in the front yard that Jade wasn't dead an they needn't be skeerd." He explained that he was driving along mountain road looking for sticks of lightwood when he saw Fanshaw walking ahead of him as sound as dollar as far as he was able to see. He looked away for a minute and then he saw Fanshaw down on his all-fours, crawling along with head down like a grazing COW.
 At fust was afeerd of i'm, fur he was actin mighty curis," observed Tarbell, "but terrectly his knee j'ints seemed to flicker an he come down kerplupk in the mud on his stomach Then drive up an put i'm in my cart" f
 Mrs. Fanshaw was always g calm woman: she went out at the gate. waddled up to the cart, and shook the human heap on. the straw.

''Talk about hazing with tobasco sauce and gymnastics, it isn't in the same class with the test through which the students at New England college for women put a masculine visitor" said the man with bashful tendencies to New York Sun re- porter.

looked like a man with only shadow of a soul in him; his eyes glared in ghastly sockets and their whites had turned red. As he looked round at the group he seemed to recognize them, but a shifting look of terror was in his glance. He began to work his lips, to the edge of which his stubbly beard grew, but only unin- telligible sounds issued.
 His tongue is paralyzed," com mented his wife; Hook how that side is drawed down to his neck. I de- clare he's got wad O tobacco be- twiXt his jaws clamped thar as tight as cider press. Jade, spit that thar truck out! Spit it out, I tell you!" And as he paid no heed to her con- mands, she thrust her forefnger be- tween his almost toothless gums as if he were child and pried out the brown mass. "Welll" she said, re- signedly, well have to git i'm in the house, Bud will want his cart. Come, you boys" (to Ronald and David) 'help lift i'm out.''
 Dave sprang into the cart, and Ron aid was about to do the same, when Fanshaw's distended eyes fell on him. The old man raised his hands as if to ward off 9 blow and cried in words now easily understood: "Take i'm away; he wants to kill me!''
 Ronald paused, but Fanshaw's ter TOT did not abate. He got to his feet quickly and springing from the cart he ran his knees knocking together, across the road towards the woods. "Stop i'm, he's tryin' to kill me! He wants me to tell i'm who he is, an whar t'other is buried!"
 A remarkable change came over Mrs. Fanshaw; she turned quickly to Ron aid, and with an uneasy smirk, said: Don't you go nigh i'm, Ron; he's clean out'n his senses, an thar ain't no tellin' what guar notion might strike 'im."
 Ronald stood wondering, as Tarbeu and Dave ran after the old man. They caught him by his arms and began to half carry, half drag him towards the house. But Fanshaw's distended eyes were still fixed on Ronald in alright and he struggled and fought his captors like wild man.
 I'm not agoin' to have i'm put me in iail,'' he snorted. He's done reported it to Reddin', an together they are agoin' to have me swing for what never done!"
 Again Mrs. Fanshaw faced Ronald; this time she stood between him and III Ssthers "A zeiEhtepsd lock Qt a,p-

reachin' us anyhow. We never was born under good star"
 Ronald looked up. "You needn't let that bother you, mother" he said, soft ly. "The insurance policy is all r1ght1 I attended to il"
 The sudden change in Mrs. Fanshaw was not alone due to gratified surprise. Ronald thought he had never seen her look at him quite so strangely. Sho started to say something. which seemed to have rushed impulsively to her tongue, and then she shook her shoul- ders, closed her lips tightly and left tho room.
 Dave laughed. ''She certainly acts. peculiar today" he said. Dang it. pa does, too, as for that matter. Iwish you could heerd i'm rant ab6ut you jenfI now. He thinks you've got old Reddfns ap' twenty other lawyers on hin tt1o1s about some h. 5

A ROUGH RIDERS ROMANCE.

When Lieutenant Jack Ford, of the famous Rough Riders went to fight for Cuba's freedom, he little thought that his losing of a packet of dispatches, through the theft of them by Colonel Ramon Nalquez of the Spanish caval- ", and that the aid rendered him in their recovery by the colonels sweet heart, Senorita Anita Morez, would land him not only into matrimony with q beautiful Cuban girl. but also into stage story. Lieutenant Jacks trOu- bles, dangers and love episodes will be continued at the performances Of "A Rough Riders Romance" which will be given this and tomorrow even- fngs and tomorrow afternoon at Polls. It is said to be one of the most stir ring and realistic of war dramas pre- meated with pathos, comedy and sen sauonaHsm, and it is admirably pre- sented Prices are 9. 35, 90, I5 cents and S1 and bargain prices for to-mor- rows matinee.

 Hasbrooke nodded despairingly to Ronald and the latter took the hint.
 ''Circumstances beyond our control make it advisable that we should sep arate,' he said, automatically.
 She uncovered her face, disclosing no trace of tears Am I to be told about the-the circumstances?
 "They concern only myself," an swered Ronald, with another glance at her father. q would rather not speak of them''
 ''Very well, then" she drew herself up erect. II may as well say good by" As she gave him her hand the eyes of her father flashed with subtle pride, but the next moment he had another glimpse of her inmost soul Remember, Ronald" she said. "that I shall never kneel down without praying for you. Remember that shall never love another man as long as l live!"
 He bowed low; he tried to say some thing, but the ball in his throat rose md choked him. He heard the door lose and knew she was gone.
 Like an automaton, Hasbrooke moved forward and laid his two hands on the shoulders of the crushed young man.
 Tt has ended better than I could have hoped," he declared. Bear up. Many things are within your grasp, but my child was not for you. She's not for me, either, Fanshaw' (sigh- ing) shell never be the same again -ueyer!"

l ming lay in her heavy-browed eyes. If I was you, Ron," she said, hurried 1 ly, "1'd go upstairs; he's tuck guar | notion somehow that you are ag'in i'm.
 an I wouldn't aggravate 'im.'' Glad of an excuse to get away from i the narrowing scene our hero went up to his room. Presently he heard the | chatter of hob-n ailed boots on the porch. The old man, now paciied, was bein g led i like a dumb animal to his room. Then all was quiet below. The silence lasted till he heard Dave's voice outside speaking through a broken window pane to his mother.
 "I'm a-goin' to ride fur doctor," he | was saying.
 The floor complained of it's burden
 as Mrs. Fanshaw went out on the porch. ''Well," she replied, "you might as | well. I reckon; but I wouldn't git Sloan; he'll charge two prices, am dun us to death. It hain't nothin' but stroke
 nohow, an his drugs TOT nobody else's
 can reach it. It's jest a question O
 time Dr. Wade will do as we'll as any body"
 Later in the afternoon Ronald had come down and was sitting before the Ire III tilc l1NluS TCOui. 1ue ludu udO

 Fanshaw came in and began to look for bottle of hniment on the mantel- piece.
 ''Dr. Wade's jest gone off, she told
 Ronald, ''he says it's the second stroke | he's had, an that the next one will carry i'm off as sure as preachin'. If was you I wouldn't go nigh i'm, Ron, | it's best to humor pussons like he is." Our hero made no reply. Dave came from the sick room and stood on the stone hearth warming his toes at the ] flames. Mrs. Fanshaw had found the | bottle for which she was searching, and
 turned to go.
 ''He won't last long," she said to | Dave; ''seems to me heerd yore pa say i he left off payin' on his life insurance" 1.-TWO yeer ago he did, said David, eespondently.

This is Miss fields first attempt at playing part and the little Parisienne possesses q notable stock of determination, despite her apparent fryolity, and. while the critics were expressing aSton1Shment at the discovery that she could act al all she was studying for further achievement. -Papa's Wife has been unstintingly commended. MT Smith Is said to have told an amusing story amHsingly and to have drawn there from the greatest possible number of complications and situations. The mu- e1c of the play is of the jolly order, bright and catchy. The chorus is a clever one and a group of prettier. girl it would be hard to find Charles Bigeiow, in the role of the rnu- sfcal professor.

THE NC, CONFERENCE
Methodists Meet at Fayette-
Vile Wednesday.
Bishop R. K. Hargioye Will Call the Sixty
Second Annual Session to Order. Growth
Of Conference.
Especial to News and Observer. }

(Speclal TO news ana oDSeTNerJ
Fayetteville N. c.. Nov. 30.-The Six
ty-second annual session of the North
Carolina conference will convene here
next Wednesday morning at o'clock.
and will be called to order by Bishop r.
K. Hargrove, d. D., of Nashville. Tenn.
The sessions of the conference will be
held in the Hay Street Methodist
church of which Rev. T. A. Smoot is
pastor.
This annual gathering for Methodists
is always an occasion of interest to the
hosts of Methodists scattered over the
State of which there are nearly seventy
thousand in the North Carolina Confer
ence territory and about seventy five
thousand embraced in the Western North
Carolina Conference. There are about
IT'S ministers in the North Carolina
commonly referred to as the Eastern
Conference" and these are all expected
together with about 100 laymen: and
many hundred of visitors unless the
weather should become very unpleas-
ant. The efficient secretary of the Con-
ference for the past six years, Rev. w.
l.. Cunninggim will doubtless be re-
elected.
Nothing of unusual interest is expect
ed to take place as the annual meeting
as the body two years ago gave express
sion to- it's views on the publishing
house claim.
Bishop Hargrove presided at the last
session of the Old North Carolina Con-
ference az Greensboro in 1889, and has
| not presided over the body but once
since then. that being the annual gather
| ing at Raleigh four years ago.
In twelve years time each of the Con-
ferences have made great gains in church
membership as we'll as material pros
perity. Scores of new churches ano
parsonages have been built. and both
! the conferences are now almost as strona
as 9t,he Old North Carolina Conference
was a dozen yea ago.
The Elizabeth CityNDistrict was until
1890 part of the Virsipia Conference
and that body was 10th to re'inquish it,
but through the efforts of .Tuusc Wal
ter Clark, Hon. L. l.. Smith, and the
late Or. Frank L. -Reid-all of whom
were delegates to the General confer
| ence, the territory was cedca to the
North Carolina conference.
