 When We Were Twenty-One'' is a familiar play in this town, the presen- tation of last night being It's third pro duetlon here. But this dramatic love story, full of the poetry of Thackerays lines is always interesting, and perhaps never more so than last night. Opinions will, however, differ as to this, ald some will .'hark back to former pro- ductions with even greater interest Be this as it may no one can say Nestor Lennon did not bring out not only the pathos of the play. but also every bit of its poetry. And as t6 Jacques Mar tin's ''waddlesn. what mimic part could be truer or more naturali
 It is a story of a boy left by dying father to four old friends. They did their best for him, the Imp, impersonated to the life of H. Dudley Hawley,' but he becomes at one time engaged to Phyllis Friscon, and married to the Briefly of the music halls, the scene of the play being in London. In the end the four friends pull the Imp through, but they have an up-and-down time of it.
 Dora Booth is an excellent Phyllis, and if her enunciation were as perfect as Mr Lemons is, she would have but little to wish for. MT. Hawley certainly brought out the impulsiveness of the wayward boy, but the ease and natural ness of MT. Martins "Waddes'' was perhaps the most artistic feature of last nights production. Messrs Morris and Hall certainly succeeded in presenting in g. satisfactory manner MT. Esmond's ex- quisite love story.

George H. Broadhurst will present an- other one of his farces at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday and Saturday. with a bargain matinee Saturday.
 John Allison will appear in ''The Wrong MT. Wright as Seymour Sites" a charac- ter made famous by the late Roland Reed. Take this play; it has an idea, and for farce an unusually fresh one. Sites" a San Francisco millionaire, goes to Old Point Comfort, where he hears that Bailey, an employe who has forged his name for s50,000 and has absconded with the proceeds, is likely to be found. Of course. 1t Is necessary for Sites to pro- ceed under an assumed name. At ven ture he takes the name of Wright, not knowing that Wright is the very name the culprit has taken himself. Miss Hen rietta Oliver a lady detective knows it and is on the lookout for a Wright, when Sites turns up. She makes certain of

"Lost River"

Southern Indiana where Lost River flows turbulently for six miles on the surface and disappears in subterranean channel as suddenly as it rises is the picturesque locality chosen by Joseph Arthur for his pastoral melodrama, Lost River." It is said that while sensational incidents are frequent and strong dramat- 'ic situations terminate every act, there is a rural simplicity and sweetness in the quieter scenes of the play which evoke tender memories. so that Lost River' appeals with equal force to occupants of the parquet and gallery. The plot is somewhat intricate, but the main theme

No Way to Estimate Loss of
Life.
HUNDREDS ARE MISSING
Debris Is Composed of Wrecked
Homes, Demolished Railroad Cars
and Broken and SpIintered Furni.
ture With An Occasional Corpse.

Richmond, Va, June 25-This morn
ing dispatch from a correspondent
returned from the scene of the Key
stone flood disaster, says there is no
possible way yet to estimate the loss
of life and property. Hundreds of peo-
pie are reported missing and a large
number of dead bodies have been re-
covered. Everywhere the debris is
composed of wrecked homes, demol-
ished railroad cars, broken and splin-
tered household furniture, and now
and then the corpse of victim. The
financial loss is unobtainable but it is
estimated it will take millions to re.
pair the damage. The Norfolk and
Western railroad tracks for miles are
washed out, and it is impossible to
say when trains can be operated.
Although the damage begins at
Coaldale, Keystone and Burke were
the greatest sufferers.

San Francisco, Cal, June 25.-On
the transport Hancock which is sched-
uled to sail today for the Philippines,
goes beautiful American girl with
chaperone and several trunks full of
those dainty flummeries, which are
generally classed as trousseau, to
consummate a pretty romance by mar
rying gallant captain of Uncle Sans
marines. She is Miss Anne Irvine,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd H.
Irvine, and one of the acknowledged
beauties of Washington, D. G. The
fortunate man whom she goes half
way round the world to wed is Cap
tain Charles Lyman, now on duty with
the Marine Corps at Cavite Captain
Lyman was with the first relief expe-
dition at the time of the assault on
| the embassies at Picking. After the
withdrawal of the marines, finding
himself assigned to two years duty in
the Philippines, the captain at once
wrote to his mother imploring her to
bring his prospective bride to Manila.
incidentally the thoughtful captain
sent on bolt of exquisite white silk,
secured during the occupancy of the
Chinese capital, for his brides we'd
ding gown. The ceremony will be
performed in Manila soon after the
Hancock's arrival.

Memphis, Tenn. June 25.-The Ten

sentence of death in the case of John
Shaw, colored, charged with assault
on schoolgirl, and he will die on the

for which Shaw will be hanged was
one of the most repulsive in the histo-

he had several narrow escapes from
lynching. On account of public indig-
nation his trial was secret and the
prisoner was taken to Jackson for
safe-keeping.
