What is looked upon in theatrical circles as one of the most signincant and extraordinary events of this sea son is the revival by Joseph Wheelock of the famous temperance drama, Ten Nights in q BarrOom," which opens this evening for the balance of the week at the Jacques That an actor of such eminent standing and splendid ability as Mir WheelOck should enter the popular price field is significant. and it is still more so that he should have this ancient play rewritten into a modern drama by such well known playwright as Robert Griffin Morris able to judge. that Mir Wheelock has read alright the signs of the times and that he has initiated a movement that means for him q most extraordinary success. We'll known as one of the most capable actors on the American stage, he has singled out a character that offers full play to his great capa- bilities and he is giving a performance that is one of the best specimens or character work that we have.

 Miss Thornbury felt sorry for the defeated lover and invited him to ac- company her and Gray to the county clerks office near by, where a license to marry was asked, for.

 The clerk refused to grant the H- cense, because she was too young.

ANA EVA FAY

Public interest continues at a high pitch in the mystifying feats of second sight to which Anna Eva Fay is treat ing large audiences each evening this week at Polls. Hundreds of ladies are in attendance at the matinee which is being given for their special benefit this afternoon, and, as might be ex- pected, they are deeply interested in the mysterious feats she performs. It is certainly extraordinary that Miss Fay should be able to know what is on a slip of paper written by a per son in the audience and held in that persons possession until after she has read 1t off together with the name of the questioner; yet that is exactly what she does. And it is all the more extraordinary and mystifying since Miss Fay herself does not attempt 10 explain how she is able to do it, being content with the simple fact that she can do it. Certainly she offers an entertainment of surpassing interest and even those who seldom visit the theatre find in this extraordinary wO- man a magnet to draw them there. Her cabinet tests are of rare interest likewise, and they are fully as pug

SOLUTION OF A MYSTERY.
Alarming Appearance of Words in Spider Webs at Toledo and
 Their Origin.

Toledo's wonderful spider web mys- tery has at last been cleared up. Sev- eral days ago thousands of Toledo peo- pie hocked to point on Canton ave- nue, near the courthouse, where in plain letters on a spider web appeared the words My Jim" and Murder" What made the denizens of that local- ity shudder every time they looked at 1t or thought about it was the fact that the web was spun at the corner of house in which Jim Lee, colored man, had been murdered day or two before. The letters were of white, while the web appeared few shades darker. Yet it was the belief of ev- erybody who saw it that it could not have been the work of human hands, reports a Toledo correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Names appeared on other spider webs, but the mystery remained un- solved until Mrs. Leggett, who came here from Detroit, said her husband made the letters. She made the admission to ease the mind of a servant girl who had shown signs of insanity because of the web on the house where Lee was killed. Mrs. Leg gett said her husband makes the let ters from fibers he takes from spider webs. Armed with a string of letters, he has but to put them on a web that strikes his fancy. The letters are slightly moistened, and then Leggett, by gentle breath, blows them upon the web, and they cling there as though placed there by the spider it. self. Of course, stirring breeze soon destroys the lettersior blows them to- gether. He does it so deftly that no one, unless cognizant of the method employed, would suspect the decep- tion. He spread the names about to call attention to his invention, expect ing to use it for advertising purposes.

The case of Shortstop Frank Shu- gart, of the Chicago baseball team, who has been expelled from the Amer ican Baseball league by President Ban Johnson, brings to crisis the recent outbreak of rowdyism in baseball.
 There are many baseball enthus- lasts who criticise most severely Pres ident Johnson's radical course in dis barring Shugart forever from the American league. But before such a view is taken of the case the facts must be considered, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Shugart's offense occurred in the game of August 21 at Washington. men were out. Clark and Foster were on first and second bases. Coughlin came to bat, and had three balls and two strikes called on him. The next ball appeared to be strike, and if so declared would have ended the in ming, but Umpire Haskell said ''ball,' v and Coughlin took first. Jack Katoll, pitching for Chicago, protested. Cling man came to bat and hit for three bases, sending in three runs. The next ball pitched went through Catch CT Sugden's hands and hit Umpire Haskell on the shoulder. He gave Clingman base, scoring another run.
 It was an extremely aggravating case, test of the Chicago's players good temper. Katoll, enraged, threw the ball at the umpire and hit him on the leg. Shugart came up and struck Haskell blow on the mouth, cutting his lip. Both Chicago players were ar rested by the police

 the worst of it.'' It may be true that the two decisions he gave were unfair to Chicago. But the umpire is desig- mated by the rules of the game to de- eide such points, and 8 method of pro test is provided in case he makes mis- takes. In any event, there is no ex- cuse for players losing his temper.
 The love of fair play is the strong est characteristic of the American pub lie in sporting matters. For each game of skill or chance or strength which enjoys popularity there is well-de- fined set of rules. We believe that the public desires in any game that the rules should be followed by all con testants-in other words, that there should be fair play. Shugart undoubt- edly broke the baseball rules most fagrantly. Furthermore, he lost his temper completely, and man who cannot keep his temper has no place in any game.
 Aside from general considerations, if baseball is to remain the national sport-and we earnestly hope it will it must be kept clean and fair test of skill. Once let dirty play and rowdy- ism and breaking of the rules enter, as has been seriously threatened late ly. and it will suffer the fate of profes- sional rowing and other sports. For this reason, the. sentence pronounced on Shugart was necessary though Se- we're. It is undoubtedly hard on Sbu- gart and the Chicago club, but it means the greatest good for the greatest number in the baseball world.

A GOOD ROADS TRAIN.
t Will Traverse tho south on 81 Mis-
sion of Practical Education.

Washington, Oct 30.-The special
good roads train carrying road ex-
perts, competent crew and the para
phernalia for giving practical illus
trations in road making left AleXan-
dria, Va, last night for its tour of the
south, over the Southern railway. The
trip is under the auspices of the
Southern railway and the National
Good Roads association and has
aboard officers of that organization
and also the director and assistant
of the Office of the public road inquiry
of the agricultural department. The
itinerary takes in many places in the,
south. Some weeks will be spent on

The object is to give practical il
lustrat tion of road making and bring
home directly to the people of diff
ferent communities the advantages of
good roads, and by agitation and edu-
cation to forward the movement for
such roads in the south. At each
stop several days will be spent, a
sample road will be made under the
direction of the engineers of the
Good Roads association who accom-
pany the train, and good roads con-
vention, lasting two to four days, will
be held. At the sessions of these
conventions practical addresses will
be made by the representatives of the
department. of agriculture and the Of
ficers of the Good Roads association.
There also will be stereopticon lee
lures.
The special train is equipped with
ten carloads of modern road making
machinery supplied by different man
ufacturers of road machines. The
Southern railways interests are
looked after by its land and indus
trial department.

RELINaUIsHEs CLAIM.
CzoIgosz' Brother Agrees to Burial
of body in Prison.

Auburn, n. Y, Oct. 2D.-The body
of Leon Czolgosz, the murderer of
President Mckinley, will not be re-
moved from Auburn. Superintendent
of State Prisons Cornelius V. Collins
and Warden j. Warren Mead, after
hours of controversy with Czolgosz'
brother, succeeded in obtaining from
him the following REIMBURSEMENT of
the family claims to the remains
when the executioner shall have fin
ished his work:
Auburn. n. Y. Oct 2S, 19O1.-J. Warren
Mead, Agent and Warden, Auburn Prison:
1 hereby authorize you, as warden of Au-
burn prison, to dispose of the body of my
brother, Leon f. CzolgosZ, by burying 1t in
the cemetery attached to the prison, as
provided by the law of the state of New
York
This request is made upon the express
understanding that no part of the remains

cordance with the law in the cemetery at
tached to the prison.
"WALDECK CzoLGoSZ."
witnesses: John A. Sleicher, George Z.
Clarke"
Accepts Terms.
When the superintendent submitted
claim to the body to Czolgosz he re-
fused to sign it until he had an OPP
portunity to advise with Waldeck
Thomas Bandowsl1i, his brother-in-
law, who was the leader in the plan
to secure the body. He promised
final answer at seven o'clock, when
he was to call with Bandowslsi for
final visit to the condemned man.
Collins agreed to send for him, but
would not let the brother leave the
prison. Finally he was, at six o'clock,
informed that the people at the Buff
falo crematory would not accept the
body, and Superintendent Collins at
once pointed out to him that he
would have the body on his hands.
AT few minutes past six he agreed
to sign, and it was at once decided
to bury the body in the prison. The
agreement signed prohibits any por-
tion of the body being removed from
the prison, and this will be strictly
enforced.
