Nathan Hale.

This afternoon and tonight Nathan Hale" will be the attraction at the Jef- ferson Theatre Last season this play was produced for the first time here and scored an unqualified success. The Age Herald said of 1t at the time:
 "As Shakespeare has said, the play s the thing and 1t was doubtless upon this high standard of dramatic creation that Clyde Fitch gave to the stage Ma than Hale the great Revolutionary dra- ma, which was presented at the Jeffer- son Theatre last night by a splendid company of players headed by Howard Kyle.
 MT. Fitch, who also wrote Barbara Frietchie' and other plays, has reached a higher level of dramatic conception in Nathan Hale,' and his production, the atmosphere of which is laden with patri- otic sentiments worked out in poetic and intensely delightful detail, is truly a gem of dramatic art.
 But enough of the play and a word for the players If the play is the thing, as Shakespeare says. in order that 1t may be rightly interpreted, the players. ol course, are Lne nekt COHSiocidtiOiip dnu in the case of the Nathan Hale Company the exigencies of both propositions Is fully met
 ''In the title role MT. Kyle Is fully equal to the task His interpretation is as intelligent as 1t is artistic, a distinc- tion that Is often lost sight of in acting, especially where one of the qualities is more strongly developed than the other He made of the character living breathing man, and was never lacking ir | the most minute detail.
 "The scenery was beautiful and the en- tire presentation was In keeping with tn, | play itself and the excellent company" The management of Nathan Hale promise. the same attention to detail, a. regards scenery and costumes, displayed last season, and they also claim that tn, company will be found very much tn, same as 1t was last season. The few changes in the cast that have been mad, are for the purpose of strengthening ths company.

ASTOR DID NOT
 BUY THE ABBEY
ISSUES AUTHORITATIVE STATE MENT-LoNDoN COMMENT ON THE SALE OF THE HISTORIC SPOT BUILT BY WILLIAM.

New York, November 27.-Commenting
 don correspondent of the Herald says:
 Tt Is not every day that a piece of
 British history Is knocked down to the highest bidder, but the sale of Battle Abbey transferred the ownership of a ground of 5000 acres, which from It's as- sociation with the battle of Hastings is inseparably bound up with the story of the British nation. It was four years af- ter the battle that William the Conqueror
 gave orders to build upon this spot an abbey to commemorate his victory. It
 was this ancient structure, with a mod
 ern wing, together with lands surround
 ing 1t, that was sold
 "Its last owner was the late Duchess
 of Cleveland, mother of Lord Rose berry.
 | Such large crowd assem bled that the sale had been transferred to the great hall of Winchester House, old Broad street. The auctioneer, MT. Joseph | Slower said he had received more than | fifteen applications from persons who ex- pressed the ueSire to purcHdse, put these | had been weeded down to five bona fide | buyers. The first bid was e1OOO, which
 was greeted with general laughter. ''The first serious bid was ssO GOO. | Some one in the crowd immediately raised it to a1O0,0OO. after which bidding rose rapidly ten thousand at a time to | s1s0,o0 Then bids of single thousands
 raised it to- e2O0 900 (s1,OOO, OOO), at which price the property was knocked down.
 "All efforts to ascertain the name of
 the purchaser have thus far been futile,
 but the Daily Express is the authority | for the statement that William Waldorf Astor is the purchaser. It is also report ed that Lord Roseberry bought the | property.''
 | Later-William Waldorf Astor author | izes denial of the report that he was | a purchaser of Battle Abbey, sold at | public auction yesterday.

COMMITTEE IN CHARGE
Name of Every Indiaent Child Will Be Obtained, and Printed Invita- tions Will Make Tiny
 Hearts Glad.

Every child in Birmingham whose life has been made miserable by the bangs of poverty will be taken under the wings of the jolly Eil<s and made happy on Christmas eve.
 A committee has been appointed sto- see that the poor children are remembered Christmas and S1o0o has been appro- priated for that purpose. The committee is composer of John W. o'Neiii. chair man; Charles S. Summers. secretary and treasurer; Dr. D. Edward Drennen. Louis schillinger. A. J. Hall, Peter Houppert and Henry Tomppert-.
 ''we will have Christmas tree fin the Auditoriurn,e explained Mir. o'Nein yes- terday. '.and all the poor children will be invited to come and enjoy the occa- sion. All of those who are missed by the invitation committee will also be wei comed and we propose to see that every one of them gets present. These pres ents will be toys, fruits, candies and some substantial things such as groceries and clothing.
 Our committee will go into all the poor districts of the city continued MT O'Neill, "and we will give every child printed invitation. The number of their shoes will be aseertained and we will have them on the Christmas tree when they arrive. The children who are over | looked by the invitation committee will | be asked to come to the Christmas tree and if there is no present there for them we will try to locate them and give them an order on the stores for shoes or cloth ing as Is thought best"
 | If it is found impossible to secure the Auditorium for Christmas eve the tree will probably be placed in Elks Hall, though the committee thinks that hall will be crowded if all of the children ac- cept the invitations.
 Besides the 5000 appropriated by the
 order of Elks a number of other contri-
 buttons are expected. f.'
