Morrlson's Faust.

Morrison's Faust was the attraction
at the auditorium Tuesday evening
and a good sized audience greeted
Manager Foxs first dramatic offering
of the season." despite the circus in
opposition. Although the principal
roles were in different hands from
when the play made its first appear
ance here, the production is practically
the same and apparently pleased the
audience equally well. The prologue,
which is labelled heaven" in the sy-
nopsis, was somewhat marred by the
stage manager, whose voice drowned
the strains of the celestial choir, but
the other scenes passed off smoothly
enough to be effective, especially the
Broken scene and the final tableau
showing the apotheosis of Marguer-
tie.
The part Of Mephisto was well de-
lineated by George S. Trimble whose
looks, laugh and actions were devilish
enough to SATISFY most imaginations.
Miss Ruth Van Vactor as Marguerite
proved herself an actress of merit and
was especially good in some of the
emotional passages. AS Faust Charles
Saxon might have been improved
upon, but the remaining parts were
well cared for and the singing of the
Faust sextette sounded musical.

MORTON cREssY NOT INDICTED.
Shooting Of Sidney Gray Bristol Con-
sidered This Week-Stoddard viii
Case Still Before the Court.

The Stoddard will case has occupied
the attention of Windham county court
throughout this week. The taking of
evidence was finished yesterday, and
arguments began, which are being con-
tinued today.
Don G. Stevens of Grafton who was
fined $50 and costs by Justice Thomas
w. Davis for cruelty beating a horse,
and had taken an appeal to the coun-
ty court, withdrew his plea of not
guilty, which he made before the JUS
tice, and pleaded guilty. The court
thought the judgment of the justice
not too severe, and confirmed 1t. The
fine and costs amounted to 1898,
which we're paid by George L. Fletcher
of Chester, who appeared as attorney
for Stevens.
Fred B. Pier of Jamaica was appoint
ed foreman of the grand jury.
The grand jury finished work We'd
nesday. 1t is known that seven indict-
ments were found. Only two are made
public. Henry L. Richardson and
George N. Wilder were indicted for
selling intoxicating liquor They were
brought into court Thursday morn
ing and pleaded not guilty. Richard
sons bail was fixed at $500 for a sec
ond offense, and Wilder's bail at 5000.
It is known that no indictment was
found against Morton Starr Cressy.
The grand jury considered for two
days the evidence concerning the
shooting of Sidney Gray Bristol. Mr..
Cressy was one of the witnesses call
ed Testimony was also given by
Fred w. Cross of South Royalston,
Mass, Bristols classmate at Williams
College, and also by William Williams
of Schenectady, N. Y, Bristol's tent
mate in the Spanish-American war.
The action of the grand jury is taken
as a complete generation of Cressy,
and as deciding definitely that the
shooting was accidental.

URAL HISTORY MUSEUM
a collection Of American Indian relics which
-A1lofe" T.. douglass, Of this city, has been en-
gagged III making for nearly quarter of a CEN
Jury, and which in some respects is without an
equal in the world. has just been presented by
MN to the American Museum of Natural His
tory Mr. Douglass was long in the habit of
spending his winters in Florida. Two of his
great delights in those days were sailing and
studying relics of earlier civilizations than that
OF the nineteenth century. The first OF thes,
passions led to his being elected commodore of
the 81 Augustine Yacht Club, post which he
occupied for many years. He gratified the other
taste whenever he went to Europe, by visiting
the museums
Mr. Douglass's attention having been directed
TO Indian mounds in Florida in 1877, he began
series OF explorations that extended through
ten years and that resulted in a number of in
terestlnS discoveries. Mr.. Douglass was the
nrst archaeologist to explore Florida thoroughly
AS soon as he began to secure valuable mate
rial, he had relics to give away and to exchange
and, following the example Of other collectors
he supplemented his own finds by trade and
purchase in these ways he acquired a rnagnifi-
cent lot % specimens from all over the United
States Even after he ceased to investigate
Indian mounds he continued to devote himself
TO building up the collection. This contains
some Mexican and South American specimens
and q considerable number of articles from
Europe. But the great majority OF the relics
represent that part Of America which lies north
Of the Gulf Of Mexico and the Rio Grande.
no DUPLICATES IN THE COLLECTION.
The plan pursued by Mr., Douglass was to
build Up certain distinct classes Of objects Sc
curing the finest Of each kind that vas procur-
able. and seeking the greatest possible variety
in a class. The result is that IN q collection Of
nearly twenty-three thousand objects there are
hardly any TWO that resemble each other closely
enough to be actual duplicates This system Of
grouping is not typographical 1t does not en-

for a remarkable variety of purposes and gave
a singuarly smooth finish to the articles made
from it. The Douglass collection includes be
tween eleven hundred and twelve hundred speci-

CELTS, "DISCOIDAL" AND BANNER STONES.
The celt it may be remarked, is shaped like
the head of a small hatchet. but the purpose for
which it used is somewhat uncertain. Speci-
mems have been found in Europe in which there
was a socket. if for the introduction Of
handle This was so placed to excite a
picion that the thing was used as a chisel. In
fact that is what "celt' really means. Archa-
ologists have little doubt to the propriety Of
the name when they see the socket But the
American celts do not have However, the
theory that the celt whether of hematite
stone was used axe. is discredited by the
fact that these specimens have grooves for
fastening a handle on.
Mr. Douglass applies the "discoidal

emploved in making them, but they have the
same general form. They approach the shape

For long time the museum has placed at the
disposal Of Mr.. Douglass a room IN which ms
treasures have been stored and arranged To

be added. were usually pierced to be sus-
pended and worn. From the fact that they are
often partly burned when found it is suspected
that they were thrown into a sacrifcal fire at
some ceremony
Mr. Douglass has brought together nearly

KILLS MOTHER IN A DREAM.
Son Who Thought He Was Fighting
Wild Beast Is Now Insane.

AS the result of a dream Mrs. Matilda
Krause, aged SO, is dead at her home IN
Cleveland, and her son Henry, aged ~,
is a raving maniac in a cell at the central
police station. Krause and his mother
occupied the same bedroom, and the 9th
er night Krause dreamed that a wild
beast with distended jaws attacked him.
He resisted, and after terrible struggle
was able to seize the animals jaws and
wrench them apart. When the young
man awoke in the morning he looked over
to his mothers bed and saw her lying
there dead and terribly mutilated. Then
he realized he had killed his mother in
his dream. Young Krause went to the
home of the Rev. J. f. Webel and told
him of the affair. The minister took him
to the Sixth precinct police station, where
he repeated the story. He was locked
up and soon was raving mad. Krause
did not drink and was very fond of his
mother
