COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Alice of Old Vincennes'' will be pre-
scented at the Crawford theater tonight
with Gertrude Coghlan in the title role.
Miss Coghlan is fitted for the part of
Alice Rousillon,' the charming heroine
of Maurice Thompson's thrilling ro-
nance of Revolutionary days. The pro-
duction is unusually lavish and hand
some and from scenic standpoint one
of the most notable of recent years.
Two exteriors, showing landscape views
with the Wabash river in the distance,
are declared by critics to be the most
artistic efforts in this direction seen Oh
the American stage, their beauty being
greatly enhanced by new and original
effects in coloring and lighting, by
electricity The dramatiza ton of the
book was made by Edward E. Rose,
who has adhered closely to the main
incidents of Mr.. Thompson's tale He
has evolved story of strong and stir
ring interest, which, unlike the dramati-
cation of most novels, does not require
familiarity with the book in order to
maintain the attention of the audience

"Oh, come, now said the lawyer
again. 81 want you to understand
what a miracle is. Now, just suppose
that you were on the roof for the third
time, and fell of, and was not injured
now, what would you call that?'
"'Three times?' asked the witness.

lawyer.

Poor Royce! Now he's trying to
dodge behind John Hageman, to keep
from suffering the ill effects of his
silly articles of last week! He says
it's Tadlock'S word against Hageman's
Now everybody knows that Royce
exact copy Of the Royce article.
Again Tadlock has not disputed one
word Of what John Hageman wrote,
for he did not write one word of that
article except to sign his name.
Tadlock quoted the records as printed
in the Dispatch and showed Royce to
be liar, a common liar, and a very
weak silly one at that. Why dom
you dispute the records Royce? The
fact remains that when Mr.. Breasted
was sworn in as commissioner there
were $40, O00.in the general fund while
todayIthere is not dollar-nay woIse
the fund is now overdrawn probably
several thouSan d dollars Besides a:
shown elsewhere in this issue the
taxes paid in have increased right
along. Do you voters want three
years more of such expenditures:
Understand the Herald gives Mr..
Veeh credit for opposing many OF
these extravagances; also we credit
Mr.. Hageman with opposing some OF
them. But Mr.. Breasted has been
with John @. Royce all the time.
There never was measure that
Royce wanted to get through. but
what Breasted was Tor It.
