The Coming Play

Both on and off the stage Mr..
Charles D. Herman bears a striking
resemblance to Mr.. Frederick Warde,
with whom he has been identified for
many seasons
Several years ago for joke some
CT his fellow actors introduced Mr.
Herman to Robert Fitzsimmons, the
celebrated pugilist, as Mr. Warue, and
1T nearly resulted disastrously For
some time later Mr. Fitzsimmons was
walking along the street with a lady,
! and passed the real Mr.. Warde and
saluted him. Mr.. Warde never hay-
! ing met Mr., Fitzsimmons, was net
| aware that the salute vas meant for
! him, and did not acknowledge it.
! This made Mr.. FitZsimmons wro3h.
and he freely expressed his opinion
OF Mr.. Warde until some ore a.
| qua nted with the facts explained Tie
matter to him. He withdrew his re
marks Immediately, and afterward:
met Mr.. Warde. He is now one OF tine
tragedian's warmest admirers
BY singular coincidence, this sea
son, just as Robert f1lzsimmons ha,
become a theatrical star again, MI
Charles D. Herman also becomes one
and both are starring this season

A REMARKABLE CASE.
Young Girl Dies iii New York Hospital
After Continuous Sleep of Twenty
Days.
Augusta Chronicle.

Some days ago was published an
account Of the mysterious case of
Nellie Corcoran in st. ViDcent's hos
pital, New York. For days she had
Jain in a sound sleep and no effort to
Arouse her had succeeded
The girl fell into her state of un-
consciousness October 18 at the house
where she was employed as servant.
AT the hospital where she WAS taken
heroic efforts to determine the
cause of her condition met with
little success. Hundreds of physi.
clans examined her, and every known
method was tried to awaken her, but
with little SUCCESS. Two or three
times she Was aroused and spoke q
few words, saying she was sleeping
and again became UNCONSCIOUS.
Electricity was applied and in Sc.
we're applications, but ineffectively.
Neurologlsts and pathologists tried
to diagnose the girls condition, but
could not. Specialists of nearly
every medical field were called in,
but they arrived at no conclusions as
to the cause Of the coma or ts proper
diagnosis. 1t WAS even suggested
that someone had hypnotized her
and efforts to throw off such spell
we're made, but to no purpose. Her
temperature increased rapidly, she
became emaciated and finally stopped
breathing, after having slept 20 days.
There was an autopsy, but nothing
WAS discovered in the condition of
the organs to account for the strange
sleep. The brain was kept for ex-
animation by specialists on that or.
gan and it is believed the secret will
be discovered there.

EDGEFIELD FIREBUG CAPTURED.
The Man Who Tiled to Burn the Town
Now in the Penitentiary-Lynching
Narrowly Avoided.
News and Courier.

The negro, Bost;ck, arrested in
Edgefeld, charged with incendiar
ism, was brought mere and is now
safely lodged within the penitentiary.
The story that his captors brought
here is, however, considerably differ
ent from The one published. One of
the oaptors said that the sheriff ill.,
tendad to board the train at Trenton
with the negro, but hearing that
mob was coming after him, he took
to the woods and made long, tedi.
GUS, circuitous route, coming to Co
lumbia via Branchville. One of the
captors said this route was taken in
order to "avoid jim Tillman and his
mob," asserting that they had heard,
on what they believed to be reliable
authority, that the lieutenant gov.
ernor was leading a crowd bent on
lynching the negro. Whether there
was anything in the story or not, the
negro's captors believed it, else they
would not have taken such precau.
tions to elude the lynching party.

recent order requiring them to have
watches that measure up to certain

cular issued by the Southern rail

ton and employees designated below

Columbia, Noy. 14.-The State
board OF canvassers met today, every
member having come in except Sec.
retary OF State Cooper, who ls under.
stood to be sick. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Tillman,who was telegraphed
for yesterday, was also on hand, and
with members of the board present,
held a meeting III accordance with
the law, when the board does not
meet at the proper time. The board
did nothing special beyond provid-
ing for the tabulation Of the returns,
which, though small in numbers
comparatively, will take, some time
to handle.
Miss Dwight, of the attorney gen
erals Office, and Miss Walker,
Of the Secretary of States office,
were appointed clerks to tabu-
late the vote. The reason for the
members not being on hand yester-
day was one that is aptly illustrated
by the saying, what is everybody's
business is nobody'a. Each of tho
members thought that every other
member would be on hand and that
his presence would be unnecessary
the consequence being that no one,
excepting the State treasurer, was
there. The board adjourned for two
weeks to await the tabulation.
NO MEETING ON APPOINTED DAY.

vassers could not meet to declare the
result Of the recent election because
only one member was present Such
neglect Of q most important duty is
inexplicable. Ordinarily the aver

and probably officials are just as apt
to forget other elections also, but in
this case there is no such excnse,

PRESS ROOM AT WHITE HOUSE.
President Sees to 1t that Newspaper Men
are Not Ignored.

Washington, November 17.-For
the first time in history the President
of the United States has set apart a
room adjoining his own Offices for
the exclusive use of the press In
the new office building, west of the
White House, the correspondents
have a separate room, provided with
a huge oak table, chairs and three
telephones for their convenience.
The room adjoins the big central
,, waiting room, where all.callers gath.
or before they are admitted to the
office of the President or Secretary
Cortelyou.
The door of the press room stands
open, and the man of consequence in
politics, business or rank.who escapes
without being interviewed is fleet of
foot indeed. In the White House.
before it underwent it's remodelling
process, when the President and his
clerical force were all quaEered on
the second floor, the newspaper men
whose duty took them there had to
content themselves with table
placed at the eastern end of the gen.
eral waiting room. They had no
telephones at their disposal, and
when they wished to call up their
respective Offices were obliged to 90
into the "war room" and ask Col.
Montgomery's permission to use the
wire. Col. Montgomery's telephone
was often busy at the very time the
newspaper mon wished to use it.
Now, with the three telephones at
hand, Col. Montgomery's dignity will
no be 80 frequently disturbed, and
the business of sending important
Items to the uttermost ends of the
earth will be greatly facilitated.
President Roosevelt holds, perhaps,
more than any of his predecessors,
a warm place in his heart for the
newspaper fraternity. He has ap
pointed several Of his newspaper
friends to good positions in the pub
lie service. Ho is exceedingly ap
proachable aud often favors the cor
respondents with his political conf
dences. When the new office bui.d.
ing WAS planned it was quite natu-
raj, therefore, that the President
should order "press room" in the
most convenient location and of the
most commodious arrangement posi-
bic with the appropriation at hand.

INNES' TROUBLES.

tcrnal.

Innes, the bandmester, appears to
have other troubles besides appen.
dieitis as the following from the New
York Sun will show:
"Lawyer George A. Flaacke, of
Jersey City, received word from
Supreme Court Justice Gilbert Col.
Inns yesterday that be had dismissed
the order issued by Supreme Court
Commissioner Charles j. Roe, under
which Frederic N. Innes, the band
master, was taken into custody in
Jersey City on the affidavit Of his
wife, Georgia Frances Innes, that he
owed her $500 alimony.
MRS. Innes obtained decree of
divorce IN this city. The bandmas-
ter did not obey an order of the
court to pay her S25 q week and went
to Jersey City, where he was found
by his former wife. She said that
she he'd reason to believe that he i'm
tended to leave the State and 40
cured his arrest for debt.
"ln dismissing the case, Justice
Collins said that sufficient evidence
had not been adduced to show that
lnnes was leaving the State perma. :.
nently or intended to defraud Mrs.
Innes."
