of the high license law in Connecticut am
the attendant conditions which it carries

OPERA HOUSE.
.H,man Hearts"

A tale of the Arkansas Hills, plainly
vet dramatically told, is said to be a
fair description Of "Human Hearts. =
After all the great public are the best
Judges Of what is good and purest In the
drama. and the fact that "Human
Hearts, has been successfully presented
for seven consecutive seasons, would
seem to place 1t in that category. The
nromise is made that the management
have not allowed it to deteriorate in the
least degree, and that both the scenic
production and the excellence OF the
company have been kept up to the "top
notch" The story deals with the life
OF Tom Logan, who has been unlustly
accused Of murder and condemned to
States prison for life. This 10 brought
about through the Vaccinations OF q
villain and a faithless wife, and 1T is
only through the fact that the murder
was seen by tramp-who disappears
for awhile, but finally turns up in time
to see that justice is done-that poor
Tom is not made to suffer the full penal,
ty of another's crime. The play is SAID
to be a powerful argument against
conviction on circumstancial evidence;
and that in writing it, the author had
this point in view.

DEATHS HARVEST.
Can't. James Friel.

Capt. James Fr1el died Thursday
evening of last week at Mt. Pleasant,
suddenly from paralysis. having re-
celyed the stroke that morning. He
was 70 years or age.
His remains were brought TO Coium.
bia Friday morning, and the funeral
was conducted at the residence on East
Ninth street Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock, by Father T. q. Abbott

Capt. Friel was born in Ireland. He
came to Columbia shortly before the war
between the states, and from here at the
first crack of the gun enlisted in the Con-
federate service and fought to the bitter
end. A few years after the war he was
elected to the Columbia police force,
and. with the exception Of two or three
wears, served continuously until fe'
wears ago, when an urgent call was ma,
upon him to come to Mt. Pleasant.
when he went and served rs City
Marshall until his death. AS a
soldier and as an officer. and as man
for that matter. he was absolutely
without fear. His courage and deter
m,nation were SO well known to the
public at large. that law. breakers
knew better than to resist him. He
was not only fearless; he was faithful
and honest. An incident In his life
which the writer knows to have hap
pened. is illustrative of his character.
He had arrested q drunken man for
bolsterous conduct; but upon the man g
promise to leave town, and upon the
promise of his friends that they would
take him home, The lived in the coun-
try) he was released. But before
leaving town the man said, 81 got
away from the cop by bribing him
with dollar
Can't. Friel heard Of the remark, and
learning the mans address he wrote
him: IF you do not write to the man
you said that to, and confess to him
that you are liar, l will hand my
mace and pistol to the Mayor, and ask
for a little time off duty the next time
see you, and whip you within an
incl Of your life. The apology and
confession was full and ample, and
came Dy return mail.
He was that jealous of his good
name; and he had right to be-.
Capt. Friel's health has been failing
him for more than year, and his
sudden collapse was not a surprise to
his physician, though it was very sad
news to a very large circle of friends.
He leaves surviving him a wife and
the following named children Mrs. w.
