AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

1.-THE Bowery After Dark" That
name would petrify the best melodrama
aggrega ton presented here last night
but don't mention it. True, they had
several really good features. If 1t had
been billed as "A bowling farce, A
dozen laughs to the minute" it would
have been the success of the season.
But alas, they take it seriously, there

sight of a big husky wife begging a
thin small villainous husband to spare

and the few dozen in the parquet sat
in frigid silence when the funny mon

and you could hear the price of rye
drop when he came back to stay anoth-

boys did well in the open air but as an
orchestra-well, they did not fit the
house. Marion Hyde as Nellie, a Bow
cry waif, was quite good, SO were 9TH

by Ragtime Nellie, and the final act
where the bad Chinaman and the lead
ing villain are carefully killed and the
heroine raises her right hand toward the
gallery and declares that LAS We sow,
so shall We also reap" but only a select
few saw the finale, as they were busy
getting out. The Chicago Daily News

last act, and gave strenuous street

would look we'll in some part where she

MAY BE COURTMARTIALED.
Department Commander Norton Will
Have to Explain.

Martin Norton, department commander
of the G. A. r., may be court martialed
on the charge of drunkenness which has
been preferred against him by the G. A.
r. post officers at Abilene. It is said to
be high crime for even a private to be
drunk in a post hall, and for a high off,
Ger to do such thing is doubly crime.
Local G. A R. men say that Norton
has had number of such spells" as the
one which happened at Abilene. He rare
ly comes to Topeka any more. His last
visit here was in November
Norton may possibly escape court mar
tial by resigning but he is fighter and
is not likely to lay down under charges.
After formal charges are filed they are
sent to the commander-in-chief and he
summons the court martial If he thinks
the charges warrant it.

PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
The G. & E Line to Install System
of Electric Signals

Rockford, ILL.,, Jan. 16.-The Chicago G.
Eastern Illinois railroad is preparing to
install system of electric signals de-
signed to prevent accidents
The new device displays signal in
the cab of the locomotive. The track is
wired in blocks, the rail being used as
the conductor. When there is but one
train in a block the signal in the cab
will burn white. Should another train
touch the same block the light is in
stant1y changed to red, which means
danger. The signal is not affected by
snow or Sleet or by weather OF any
kind, and it will do its work among a
maze of switches and crossings as well
as on straight track.
