Is the leading character in one of the best
farce.comedies on the road. The play has
been a great success wherever produced and
it is safe to say its popularity will be dupli-

bright and catchy songs and fascinating
dances. He possesses a company of recog

for his or her personal and artistic qualities
Unlike the average farce comedy, this play
possesses decidedly amusing plot Ringing

joke are refined and clean and you don't

William A. Wood, who is farming about
a mile from the village of Still Pond, had an
encoune r with mad.dog several days ago,
which he will not soon forget. His attention
was first called to the fighting among his
three dogs, when on going out he saw mad
dog-a black and tan hound in desperate
encounter with his dogs. Mr.. Wood went
for the hound and kicked it off, when it
made for him but after getting several good
kicks from Mr.. Woods heavy boots, the
vicious brute turned and went behind the
stable Mr.. Wood followed and the Infatuated
animal again attacked him, but Mr.. Wood
escaped by jumping on the fence and the
dog then turned again to the wounded dogs
and had torn the older house dog badly
when Mr.. Wood succeeded in giving the mad
dog good blow with fence rail, killing
him instantly. During the whole encounter
the mad dog never made any noise, not even
to growl. Mr.. Wood has killed all of his
dogs and says the mad dog passed through
the colored village called Charlestown and
there bit numbers of dogs and poultry.

Mr.. Gustav II. Schwab, when seen by
Herald reporter last night, said: Il had
not heard of the purchase, but l believe 1t
is only an investment of the Mutual Life
in good securities. They certainly do not
purpose running a steamship company, and
even If they did 100000 marks is a very
small sum, compared with the capital and
investment of the North German-Lloyd.
Furthermore, that company has no in
tention of relinquishing any part of its
control to American or any other interests.
THE securities are on the market, / sup
pose, and their purchase by this corporation
has no more significance than If they had
been bought by German capital. i know OF
nothing to give any significance to the pur-
chase and cannot see that 1t is anything
else than an ordinary investment"

Man Suspected of Train Robbery in

E. S. Elliott, Northern Pacific Express
Company official, accompanied by Michael

express messenger of the Great Northern
train which was robbed near Wagner,
Mont, last July, called on United States
District Attorney Roster in st. Louis yester-

their possession in connection with the rob-
berry and suspect under arrest at st. Louis.
Longbaugh and the woman, Laura Bull
lion, were arraigned before Judge Adams
to answer to the indictments returned
against them yesterday by the federal
grand jury.
AS the prisoners came into court hand
cuffed and attended by six detectives and
four deputy United States marshals they
attracted considerable attention.
When Judge Adams asked the prisoners
what they wished to plead to the indict-
ments, each Of which contains sixteen
counts charging forgery Of notes Of the
Helena National Bank, and having them in
their possession Illegally, they were silent.
The question was repeated. It met with
stoical silence.
Then said Judge Adams, "if you re-
fuse to plead. will cause a. plea of not
guilty to be entered in your cases.
This order was made, and the prisoners
were then taken in custody by deputy
United States marshals who took them
back to the four courts. The day for their
trial has not been set. Al

PROPOSED ELECTRIC LINE.
Baltimore Company to Build One to
Laurel.


Laurel.
The Baltimore Sun of today says: Presi-
dent George r. Webb of the United Rail
ways and Electric Company announced yes
terday that the company will build line
running from Baltimore to Laurel, taking
in the Relay en- route The road is to en-
ter Baltimore either by way of WUkenS
avenue or Columbia avenue lines, and the
construction is to begin as soon as possible,
but some rights of way are to be arranged
for before the work will commence. Mr..
Webb said:
MY policy in the United Railways and
Electric Company is to give the people all
they require in the way of street railways.
We recognize the fact that We own all the
reads In the city and that the people have
the right to demand that we give them
what is wanted. We are going to afford
them ample facilities, and only when we
fail to do that will there be any necessity
for talking about any other line coming
into the city. The construction of the Cor
such avenue road is in line with this policy;
so is the line on Garrison avenue, and We
are going ahead with the proposed exten-
sion to Sparrow's Point as fast as We can.
Some time ago it developed that there
was need for a line to reach the Relay and
now we are going to provide that and carry
it further to Laurel. AS another evidence
of the fulfllment of this policy l may men,
ton that preparing to order 200
more of the long double-truck cars, which
have proved SO popular upon the York
road, the Belair road ana the Ellicott City
lines"
To build the line to Laurel the Baltmore
! and Laurel Electric Railway Company has
been organized, with Mr.. Webb as pres-
dent; William A. House, vice president and
general manager; Briggs c. Keck, treas
urer, and HI. c. McJilton, secretary. Its
capital is $250,00O. All the officers hold
similar position with the United Railways.
In reply to an inquiry MIR. Webb saIu last
evening that the line had nothing to do
with the proposed Washington and Annap-
oils electric railway, which is being pushed
by Mr.. James Christy and other Ohio gen.
tlemen, who have just formed the Berwyn
and Laurel railway to build from the Dis
trict of Columbia line the first link of a
road through to Baltimore. Mr.. Christy
and his associates have endeavored to Sc
cure an agreement with the United Rail-
ways for the entrance of their cars into
Baltimore, but Mr.. Webb's statement shows
that the United proposes to supply ali the
necessary facilities for electric travel in
and around Baltimore.
The Baltimore Security and Trading Com
pany, which holds the old boulevard
charter, has also endeavored to secure an
agreement with the United for entrance to
Baltimore. Its route runs southwark from
Ellicott City, and its president is Mr. Mich

Edward VII, the Doctors Say, Has Two

A special to the Philadelphia North Amer
can from London yesterday says: King
Edwards life is not worth more than two
years at the very most. That is the opin-
ion of the best physicians in the United
Kingdom, and it may be set down as truth
on authority which cannot be doubted, de-
spite optimistic and inspired official bulle-
tins to the contrary. At the same time it
can be affirmed on equally unimpeachable
grounds that his majesty's malady is not
cancer of the throat, as has been SO fire.
quently insisted 1t is in the under part of
the tongue, which is even more dangerous,
and which, according to the unanimous be-
lief Of the doctors, must reach fatal ter
mination within the specified period
Few persons of intimate knowledge of
court affairs have been deceived by the
assurances that the kings health is good.
These were required by the welfare of the
state.
Indeed, it is known that the sovereign is
himself fully aware of the facts. and, re-
alizing that his remaining term of life is
brief, has absolutely refused to give up
smoking, which considerably aggravates
the trouble, on the ground that his absten-
ton could not work any Improvement COM

INVADING GERMAN FIELD.
New York Capitalists Buy North Ger.
man-Ll0yd Bonds.

man-Lloyd Bonds.
A dispatch from Berlin to the New York
Herald last night says: With the an
nouncement made tonight Of the purchase
by the Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York Of 10000 marks ($1, go 00O) in
debenture bonds of the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company German ship
ping and financial interests have sustained
a shock comparable only to the effect of
Mr.. Morgan's absorption Of the Leyland
line.
1t Is conceded that the threatened Amer
lean raid on the kaiser's merchant marine
Is now serious actuality, with especially
alarming prospects of Its expanding, in
view OF the monetary stress with which
both the great German lines are notoriously
confronted.
The block of stock acquired by the Amer
lean corporation is part of an issue of 20,-
100000 marks ($lO00,OO0) made by the
North German-Lloyd Steamship Company
last April. Until the present moment IL
was not known that the entire block had
not been covered by German banking
syndicate.
The financial editor Of the TageDlatt, dis
cussing the deal, which he calls "mystify-
ing" says: This Is not the first occasion
in recent times that Europe has experienced
an invasion of American capital. The
North German-Lloyd transaction. however,
marks a new departure fraught with pos
sibilities to German shipping which cannot
lightly be passed by.
las long as American capitalists enter
the German market in the guise of relief
agents we can afford to look upon them
with equanimity, but the stockholders and
directors of,the Hamburg and Bremen lines
must clearly guard against American In
vestments becoming predominant factor
In their affairs We shall not be surprised
to hear that the Hamburg-American line
VIII also find 1t convenient to seek financial
assistance In America

FIRE AT WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.

Owner of the Hotel.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Warrenton, Va, last night says:
1.-The Fauquier White Sulphur Springs
Hotel, owned by Mr.. ]. w. Puts of Balti-
more, was totally destroyed by fire today,
together with the tenpfn alley and other
buildings near by. The fire started in the
extreme top of the building. and its origin
is mystery. 1t was first discovered about
II o'clock, and the very high wind made 1t
impossible to save the immense building,
which was enveloped in flames in an amaz-
ingly short time. Two or three hours later
the blackened walls and smoldering embers
were all that was left.
The hotel was erected about twenty-five
years ago at a cost of $4,000. The only
piece of furniture saved was card table.
The insurance on the building is $32, 900
and on the furniture $4,000. For several
seasons past the house has been leased to
Mr.. E. B. Moore Of Washington.
