Nathan Hale is a name to ~conjure with
even In these degenerate days. His story
has been told every American child since
that far-off day when he gave his own life
for liberty, regretting IL was but one.
Americans have reyered his memory as a
hero scarcely below that OF Washington, and
still think with love on the patriotism that
moved him to so great a sacrifice. 1t is a
theme about which even q tyro might weave
a fabric OF words and call It a play. Clyde
Fitch can hardly be called q tyro. After
having done so much In the way Of word
spinning as 10 credited to his pen, yet II
may be questioned IL the too sad story of
the young school teacher, who took up arms
and died a true martyr In his country's
cause, has gained any by reason Of the
Fitch manner OF telling 1t. 1t falls short,
far short Of greatness, and we're it not for
the saving grace Of the name 1t might
easily fall short OF the popularity 1t ha.
attained.
The company which gave the Fitch play
of Nathan Hale" at the Boyd theater
last night is an excellent one in every re-
spect. The play abounds in true melo-
dramatic climaxes, which are carefully
worked up, each act ending with a vivid
stage picture, the play, OF course, culmlnat-
ing in the death OF the devoted. American
captain. These intensely thrilling situa-
tions give the players much opportunity t.
display their art.

New York, Feb. 9.-There was a
hasty assembling of the fire underwrit-
ers at Newark to-day, and efforts were
made to obtain from Paterson an idea
OF the losses there. 1t seems that the

this afternoon made up an estimate
of their losses. They are not badly hit.
as their payments will not be more
than forty thousand in any case.
Losses are likely to fall largely upon
the insurance companies of this city.
While no formal meeting of underwrit-
