QUO vADIS.
The Great Drama to be Produced
Here March goth.

Z. j. Carpenters grand scenic
production of "Quo Vadis," than
which no greater success has ever
been accorded a dramatic repre-
sentation, will be the attraction at
opera house Thursday evening,
March Goth. The stage will be
cleared of all scenery belonging to
the house, TO make room for spe-
cial sets, draperies. perfect copies
of furniture, utensils, etc., in use
at that period of the Roman EN-
pire. The costumes are historical
ly correct, and the company is a
large and we'll balanced one.
The scenery displayed in the
production consists principally of
the Peristyle in the house of Pc
tronius, the Statue Scene, the Gar
den of Aulus Plautius, Nero's Pa
lace, Rome; interior of the Mar
mertine Prison, the Coliseum, the
Roman Amphitheatre and Arena;
the Burning and Destruction of
Rome, and the Death of Nero, the
Sign of the Cross and the Dawn
of Christianity. While the theme
of the play deals principally with
a sombre subject, the wit of Petro-
MUS and Chic, the Greek Philos-
opher, together with the overwee-
ming vanity of Nero, causes much
amusement.
1.-THE Burning of Rome" is the
most stupendous scenic effect ever
produced, while the scene in which
Lygia is rescued from the bull is
made thril!ingly realistic by the
introduction of the entire arena
scene. showing the girl bound up
on the animals horns. This is
the only company on the road
which presents this incident and
it has created a Juror.
AThis drama has met with un-
qualified approval from clergy
press and public, and tells the sto.
ry of the Dawn Of Christianity in
a beautiful and reverent manner
The many widely different char,
acters in the play makes the dra-
matic interest exceptionally strong

GREAT LOAD OF MONEY.
The Swntara Once Carried 1.OOO,-
900 In Coin.

81 notice that the newspapers have
recently spoken Of the carrying of ST.
MoG 600 of bullion 70 4 foreign country
by one of the ocean liners as the great
est amount ever transported" said a
man who has been with the navy for
years to star reporter. 1T is entirely
wrong. In 1885 there was brought from
the mint in New Orleans to the treasu-
ry i'll Washington Sl1.000,OO0, and it
was brought in steamer
The government decided to trans
port S1J.O00000 from New Orleans. 1t
was first thought best to bring it by
rail, but this was assuming Il great
risk. The cabinet discussed the mat
ter carefully, and il was finally decid-
ed that the safest way would be by
water. The members of the cabinet
saw That there was Il chance for a hold
up if the money was brought by train.
"The United States ship Swatara was
first designated to carry the money,
but ii was found that she would be
Inadequate to transport the whole
amount so the wooden sailing steamer
Yantic was pressed into service to help
out. We removed from the Swatara
her magazines. The shells from the
Shellroom were removed, as were also
the sails from the sailroom. so that all
available space was utilized for pack
ing the coin. The only weapon of de-
Tense was Calling gun.
The money was conveyed from the
mint to the vessel in wagons. a squad
of secret service officers watched the
work. The two vessels We're in tow,
and the trip from New Orleans to the
Washington navy yard occupied little
more than four days. Considerab bic wind
was encountered off Iatterns, but 9th
erwise the trip was without incident.
The money was carried from the navy
yard to the treasury by an express
company.
''The money was in boxes of $1,000
each and in bags. My recollection is
that the money was in silver collars,
or the greater part of it, for while I'M
loading ut the navy yard one Of the
bags, rotten from being in storage 80
long, gave way. and large number OF
the silver dollars were scattered about

John Surratt was brought back from

"The Swatara is now in Rotten row
