house of Andy Wells on East Seventh and
knocked. Mr.. Wells answered her sum-
mons and when he went to the door she
gave him package and said: Here 8
that bundle" Now, there is another lady
who lives in the same house and frequent
ly does laundry work; he thought this
package was evidently intended for that
party. so he took the bundle and the wo-
man then went away. 1t was dark, and
he had no light in the room, so did not
get to see the woman at all.
TIA king the bundle under HE arm he fe1t

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

Exciting incidents follow each other fast
in Joseph Arthur's pastoral melodrama
Lost River which had a run of six
months in New York to financial and art
istic returns that placed the play in the
front rank of its class. Lost River, Ind.
is the place of action. The characters are
fashionable visitors to the famous health
resort near by and the uncultivated ma
tives of that remote region. The scenery
depicting Lost river valley is good. The
panoramic effect shown in the bicycle ride
for life, well the view of the Baden
ton road with its massive toll gate, are
scenes in which two of the most thrilling
episodes of the play take place and which
aroused the utmost enthusiasm from New
will be at the New Crawford tonight.
The comedy drama. "A Millionaire
Tramp" comes to the New Crawford on
Wednesday night. The third act shows
not alone the exterior of a country thea
ter, but the interior well, with audience
seated, curtain up and performance in
progress and the effect has seldom been
accomplished heretofore
Emma Dunn. the clever little soubrette
and ingenue who for the past few years
was leading member of the Woodward
Stock company at Kansas City, is this
year playing the same roles in Harry
Beresford's organization. The critics and
votaries of the theater throughout the
west, where this organization is at pres
ent playing. have united in giving this lit
tie woman high praise, both for her laugh
ception. She will be seen in The Wrong

New Crawford theater Saturday afternoon
and night.

Commander of the Panther Tells His
Story of the Affair.
Berlin, Sept. 9.-The marine minis
try has given out the following official
report of the sinking of the Firminist
gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot:
Captain Eckerman of the Panther
had received orders to capture the pi-
ratical gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot. The
Panther went from Port au Prince to
Gonaives, where it completely sur
prised the Crete-a-Pierrot. The Ger
man commandant sent the following
ultimatum:
"'Strike your colors within fifteen
minutes and disembark from your ship
without undertaking any defensive
measures whatever, otherwise an i'm
mediate attack will follow
"The Panther had already cleared
for action. The Crete-a-Pierrot hauled
down her flag within the allotted time
and the crew disembarked. The Pan
Their then intended to take the Crete-a-
Pierrot in tow, but an explosion of her
after powder magazine soon occurred,
which was evidently affected by the
Crete-a-Pierrot's crew. The explosion
destroyed here stern and set the vessel
on fire, rendering taking her impossi
BILE. especially as further explosions
followed. AS this was regarded as a
hostile act and as the guns afore were
still in condition, the Panther's cap
tain caused the forward magazine to
be exploded through a. cannonade
After this was exploded the Crete-a-
Pierrot broke up and sank.

rebels"

NOT OUR AFFAIR
GERMANY'S SINKING OF HAITIAN
GUNBOAT CALLS FOR NO AC-
TON BY UNITED sTATEe.
NO ONE TO- MAKE COMPLAINT

Provisional Government of Hayti Ex
presses Satisfaction Over Germany's
Action and the Revolutionsts Have
Never eeen Recognized by Washing
ton Observation-Disclosures Powell Re.
ports Matter to State Department.
Washington, Sept. 9.-As was ex-
peoted Mr.. Powell, United States min
lister to Hayti, reported promptly to
the state department the sinking of the
Haytian gunboat Crete-a- Pierrot by the
German gunboat Panther. In the first
dispatch the minister said that it was
reported that the Panther had called
upon killick to surrender; that he had
refused and that the Panther had sunk
the Crete-a-Pierrot and all the crew
had been lost. The second and later
dispatch corrected the statement as to
the crew, saying that they had escaped.
The minister promised to make an ex-
tended report by mail.
The navy department was also in.
formed of the event in dispatch re-
ceived from Commander Mclean of
the United States cruiser Cincinnati.
AS matters stand there is nothing to
be done by the state department at
this juncture. The officials have not
changed their view that the incident
was one between the German and Hay
tian governments and that it was not
our business. The Berlin advices to
the effect that the Haytian govern
ment had expressed it's satisfaction at
the sinking have been brought to the
attention of the department here and
went to confirm the officials in their
position. No American interests have
been affected unfavorably, in their
judgment, and as the United States
has not recognized the revolutionists
in Hayti, there is no one to make COM
plant to this government. On the
whole it is felt that the termination of
Killick's career in summary fashion
may have salutary effect, not only in
Hayti but also in South and Central
American countries, where heretofore
the slightest revolutionary disturbance
has been made the pretext fCr vexa-
tious and expensive interference with
foreign merchant vessels.

and said he believed he would meet
Jeffries next May Corbett IS certainly
not foolish. and II looks count for any
thing he should be able to go some
against any opponent
As any man Is entitled TO do, COrbett
is looking out for the main chance, He
says he had no desire TO rush into a
fight with Jeffres with a good vaude-
Vile season just starting. He prefers
to wait until he finishes the theatrical
season ana engage Jenries next spring.
As Corbett is the most successful pu-
gilist who ever took TO the stage his
determination IL nothing TO be surprised
at.
The comparative merits Of Corbett
and the champion are another thing
Corbett once fought Jeffries % rounds
and had lead on points until he was
knocked out lie Is confident that he
can outpoint the champion In 20 OF
% round engagement. There may be a
few men who viii agree with him on
that score. but in one way or another
Corbett has managed 20 hold on 20 his
reputation as a fighter Of quality long,
cr than almost any other man on the
boards at present outside of Jeffries

still have some faith IN his remarkable

sLoAN's HARD LINES.
Clever Little Jockey Inyeigled Into
An Unfortunate Afl'air.

Poor little Tod Sloan must have been
born under an unlucky star, Just at the
present time they have got his Tod
let's inyeIgled into about as pretty q
mess as he has ever been connected
with in his life and the strange part Of
II all Is that he is simply victim Of
circumstances, He Is not careful In the
selection OF his friends, That Is the
whole sum and substance Of his wrong
doings. Little Tod was expelled, or
rather had a license refused him from
the English Jockey club and no reason
ever given for the actions Of that au-
tocratic body. II Is strongly believed
In this country, however. that the en-
nifty toward the worlds premier jockey
that James Keene holds against him Is
what is responsible for his failure at
reinstatement on British tracks, Keene
has great influence with the English
stewards Now just as 1t looked as t.
he would receive the license he Is again
entanged in mess that viii work to
his injury, IL does seem sad fate in

and best Jockey with his hands and feet

because he gained the dislike Of James
Keene when he rode Bally-lIoo Fey
for w. G. Whitney. 1t was claimed
at that time that he crowded Tommy
Atkins TO such an extent as tc prevent
his winning. Mr.. Keene has not for
gotten It and Sloan has suffered for It,
For every season that Tod fails to re-
gain his place in the saddle It means
a loss Of 100000 in Jockey fees, to say
nothing Of other adventures. Tod, It
Is claimed has lost $4,000 in France
this year and now comes the exposure
of the American crooks that have in
tested the gay capital and he IS called
into the muddle as a witness. The last
two years have indeed been hard ones
on the great American knight Of the
pigskin. II was a sorry day for him
when he decided TO cross the broad At
lantlc TO seek new fields to conquer
when all the glory and success a man
could wish for were at his home. There
is a moral in this Sloan story after all.
