MIR. KELcEY AND MISS SHANNON.

1t would seem a strange thing to one unaccus-
toned to the habits of the average American
playwright that such play Her Lord and
Master should be written in the hope of pleasing
Americans. This play, by Miss Martha Morton
was seea at the Manhattan Theatre last night for
the first time in New-York the leading parts being
performed by Herbert Kelcey and Miss Efe Shan
non. The keynote OF the play is contrast between
American and English characters and manners
and, is the custom when this element Is intro
duced in play all the Americans are made either
weak vulgar The compliment paid to England is
scarcely TO be preferred. however as the implica-
tion seems to be that the distinguishing trait OF
English feeling Is shuddering horror at the slang
which wells forth in purng stream from all
American lips. The few trihing exceptions shall
be noted
Use has given Miss Morton a hand something
than she once had In the making of plays
False is the tone of this one I'm many parts II
is not without deft touches and evidences that the
author has learned to recognize of the practi-
cal requirements of her craft. The creation of
sympathy with her characters is however an es-

COMPLETE TIE UP OF ALE THE

ABSOLUTE PEACE PREVAILS
RECENT SHOOTING HAS "A SOBER
.455 ING EFFECT UPON THE
STRIKERS. ..;5

Wtlkesbarre, Pa, June THE strike
4 of the soft coal miners in West Vir-
ginta for higher wages will be inau-
gurated to-day and will be directed
from Wilkesbarre by President Mitch
ell. He expects that all Of the $4,000
miners will be out in the course of q
few days. Mr. Mitchell positively and
4unequivocally denied to the Associated
Press correspondent all knowledge Of
any negotiations for peace. Everything
is off, he said.
A complete tie up of the forty or more
coal and coke companies works in the
Flat Top, Elkhorn, Tug River and
Diguess. Va, fields will no doubt re-
suit. All miners are bringing their tools
with them. Twenty thousand are quit
ting. Business is at a standstill.
Miners are discounting their two weeks
time with the merchants and paying up
their accounts. A great many COM
pany stores yesterday received many
cases of firearms.
Trouble IL Feared
Harrisburg, Pa, June THE miners
in the Lykens Valley region threaten to
make trouble if the pumpmen and engi-
neers do not quit work. During the
past twenty-four hours operators and
other mine officials have been burned
in effigy in Lykens, Williamstown and
Wisconisco. When the men at work
left their posts at quitting time yester-
day and started for their homes they
were hooted and jeered by the strikers
and spoiled eggs were hurled at them.
Absolute Peace Prevails.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June Thursday,
nights shooting had SOLDERING effect
upon the idle men and boys in this VAL
ley, and as result the Wyoming re-
gion yesterday was place of almost
absolute peace. There were no parades,
marches or any considerable gatherings
and the police authorities of the county
had little more to do than keep watch.
The Stanton colliery, where the shoot
ing occurred, is closed down. Even the
coal and iron police, with the exception
Of four or five, gave UP their jobs and
left town as quickly as they could get
out. 4ta jr

TAMMANY,s MONEY GONE.

. ..
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
Missing From the "War Chest.''
New York, June 1.-The general COM
mittee Of Tammany hall will next week
abolish the finance committee of the or
ganization, of which Richard Croker
was the chairman last year, and whose
last chairman was Lewis Nixon. At
the close of the campaign there was
about 100000 in the Tammany CAM
paign war chest, according to common
report, and this amount disappeared
between the time that, the polls closed
and the time that Lewis Nixon took
hold of the machine to try to reform it.
This money would be very convenient
to the regents now for use in the hot
primary campaign that is about to
open, and there is likely to be some in
quiry made as to it's whereabouts.

Duluth, Mimi, June 1.-Matt Ferst, a
settler, blew off his head with rifle at
Flatwood after creating reign of
terror for several weeks, and his body
was found yesterday. Before killing
himself it is believed that he murdered
another settler who has been missing
for several weeks, and whose clothing
and effects were found in Fersts shack.
Several weeks ago Ferst went suddenly
insane, and he amused himself by
skulking through the woods shooting at
settlers when they showed themselves.
From the appearance Of the body he
must have killed himself several days
ago.

covered what is believed to be one Of
the largest illicit distilleries ever known
in the vicinity of New York. The house

as having considerable means. He
said when he leased the house that he
wanted summer residence.
A neighbor discovered the fire and

found that the interior of the house was
equipped as distillery. Harris and
his family have disappeared.

IOWA IS The STORMS CfhIfR
GROWING CROPS ARE LITERALLY
WASHED OUT OF THE "a
GROUND.

Chicago, June IA storm of unltsu al
extent and fury yesterday swept ove.
some OF the most fertile sections OF the
Middle West and accomplished prop
erty loss that may run into the millions
of dollars. Reports that are at hand
from South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and Illinois indicate that the
ruin of growing crops has been general
and that the damage to other property
has been equally as severe. The storm
in many sections took the form of a
cloudburst, sweeping creeks into roar
ing rivers, sweeping growing grain be-
fore 1t, tearing down fences, houses and
bridges and in many instances en-
dangering the lives of people who bare
ly had time to seek a place of safety.
Farmers were compelled to rescue their
live stock in boats, cellars and base
nlents of stores were flooded and pave
nlents and sidewalks We're washed
away.
Iowa in the Storm Center.
Iowa was apparently in the center Of
the storms path which ran in south
easterly direction and it was in this
state that the most serious damage oc-
Cured. It is stated that at Sioux City
seven inches of water fell within an
hour, and at Beatrice, Neb., a short
distance over the line, a foot of water
fell within three hour. Other towns in
this vicinity report that from six inches
to a foot of rain fell.
The heavy rainfall literally washed
the crops out Of the ground. Grain
planted on slopfng ground was washed
away until not a vestige of it remains,
while the lowlands We're covered with
from five to fifteen feet of water.
A report from Marshalltown, Iowa, is
that there was cloudburst at Glad
brook. The Northwestern bridge at
that place was washed away and it
1ioated down stream, colliding with the
Chicago Great Western bridge and
Wrecking Both Structures.
of the storm were either undermined
so that they were unsafe or were
washed away completely. The Burling-
ton, Cedar Rapids & Northern bridge
at La Porte was washed away and it
carried with it strip of track nearly
1000 feet long, forming an effective
blockade on that line The route Of
the storm and the effects of it's work
would indicate that it gathered just
outside of the State Of Iowa and swept
across that state with all it's fury, re-
taxing it's efforts when it had crossed
the Illinois line. There was consider
able damage done by wind and rain in
Kansas and Indian Territory, but ap-
parently this was a storm distinrt
from the one that accomplished SO great
property loss in Iowa..
