UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES. APRIL 16.

UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES. APRIL 16.
Redolent with the breath of magnolia
and orange blossoms is Lottie Blair
Parker's newest play Under Southern
Skies" which Manager Harry Doel
Parker will present for an engagement
at the Park Theatre on April 10. Many
think from the title that the play is one
dealing with the affairs Of state in
Lincoln's time, but such is not the case.
Under Southern Skies is a love story of
the south, pure and simple, no reference
being made whatever to the Blue and
the Gray. The story is told in simple
fashion as in this celebrated authors
New England Idyl Way Down East.
ARE YOU A MASON. APRIL IS.
At the Park Theatre Saturday April
18 will be presented that immensely
clever comedy farce success "Are You
A Mason" which is now in the third
season of its hilarously funny career.
1t is the David Harum of farce, de-
cided departure from the hackneyed
and worn out plays based upon old
themes. 1t is not only funny and dis
tinctive of its kind but also human and
full of interest.
KING DoDo.-MONDAY, APRIL 30.
king Dodo" is the kind of a beauty
show which is in great demand at this
time. The old-time chorus girl who
was SO much joked about by the humor-
ists-not without some reason-has been
gradually disappearing from the stage
and the call now is for young woman
kind of prepossessing appearance. The
number of managers who have succeed
ed in getting together a number of girls
of good appearance this season is un-
usually large and the New York stage
teams with rare collections. Mr..
Savage has done much the same thing
for his King Dodo" company.

Rock Island has apparently played
the leaders to a standstill. Saturday
and yesterday Is innings were played
in q vain effort to get a winning one
way or the other and from the fact
that Rock Island quit one to the good
it would seem that the Boomers have
met their match.
At Bloomington Saturday the game
was a pitchers battle between Barker
and CadwaIlader. The home team
scored three runs in lump in the
fifth and Donnelly's men gathered
one here and there till the end of the
sixth. when the score was tied.
From then on till the end of the
10th it was nip and tuck with neither
side able to push man across the
rubber At the end of the 10th it was
necessary for the teams to catch
train in order to fill the schedule here
yesterday. Therefore the game was
called and the battle-ground was
to the Twelfth street
park in this city.

Looked OmInous Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon the skies were
lowering and probably 1000 fans who
would otherwise have been on hand TO
see the struggle were kept away by
an ominous foreboding. There were
Just enough present to comfortably
fill the grandstand when the rain
drove the bleacherites in. and that
was very shortly after the beginning
of the game.
There had been two or three drib-
bles of dampness before the game,
but there was still hope in the hearts
of all. No sooner had the umpire
said play ball" however, than the
clouds darkened and it rained 1t
was one of those easy sort of rains
that comes straight down and goes into
the ground-the kind that makes the
farmers heart glad in a dry time and
causes the grass to grow green on
the hillsides.
The diamond, dry and dusty at first,
began to turn dark slowly. Where the
ball hit or foot came i'm contact
it light mark was left. Then it
grew heavier and the players kicked
the mud out of their call<s. Still the
game went on. Finally it grew glossy
on the surface. BY that time the
players and umpire had had enough
and they scampered to cover. At
first the crowd objected and shouted
play ball." but in a few minutes CONF
parative quiet was restored and the
ambitious ones contented themselves
with munching crackerjack- Still it
peared here and there. At the end of
30 minutes the umpire said it was all
off for the day, but the rain contin-
ued. Gradually the crowd dwindled
away and left Jupiter Pluvius to dis

The three innings played left the

Case was pitted against McGreevy,

in the matter of making errors, King,

calls run. 1t was in the third, and
Green, first up, fouled out. Donnelly
survived on one of Kings errors and
was advanced to third on Graham's
scratch hit accompanied with little
dumb work in which McGreevy failed
to cover first. Then he scored when
Rebsamen flew to the outfield.
Bloomington came near scoring in
the first and Graham saved the day in
sensational manner. TRULY was
iabbed in the Stats after King had fam

hit. The latter was forced at second
by Goodwin, TRULY taking third. Then

THE President
IS Indignant
Summary Of the Findings in Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow's Report.
MOST ASTOUNDING RASCALITY
is SHOWN TO have EXISTED.
An Organized Band of Grafters Sys-
tematicaIIy Plundered the Public
Treasury-Thc President Ex-
presses His Indignation and
Urges Prompt Punishment.

Washington, Nov 30.-Following is a
summary Of the findings presented in
the report of Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow with reference
to the post Office scandals:
More than forty inspectors have
been employed upon this work, some OF
them continuously every day since the
investigation began. The records of l.
900 post Offices have been examined,
and the files of many divisions of the
department, covering a period of from
six TO ten years, scrutinized.
The system of organized corruption
that has been disclosed began in 1898
and continued until stopped by this in
veStigatiOn. The amount of money Sc
cured by the corrupt officials and their
confederates is small as compared to
the total loss to the government. To
illustrate: There is no evidence that
Louis received any compensation from
Ault & Wiborg, yet during the first
year of his administration the eXpendi-
lures for canceling ink increased over
$4,000.
''It does not appear that Kempner re-
ceived money from the manifold COM
pany, yet the cost of manifold supplies
increased more than $4,000 a year.
Barrett received but $4,000 from Ar
mold, yet that company defrauded the
people out of over $4,000, 900.
''Machen probably did not receive
more than $4,000 from the Croft fast
ener, yet the government has paid ap-
proximately 100000 for that device,
which represents a net loss, since the
department continued, by the terms of
the contract for letter boxes, to pay for
the original fasteners.
Beavers and his associates received
less than $4,000 from the automatic
cashier, yet the department expended
$74, PTS for this wholly unnecessary ma
chine.
1.-THE total amount that the perpe-
traitors of these frauds themselves re-
ceievd can not be definitely learned,
but it, will aggregate between $500, 900
and $780, 600, while the loss to the gov
eminent, considering the unnecessary
supplies that have been purchased and
the inferior quality of those furnished
by fraudulent contractors, can not be
estimated with any degree of accuracy.
LAS the gross abuses have been
brought to light they have been
promptly corrected by the proper de-
partment officers. Contracts where
fraud has been discovered have been
annulled.
LAS a result of the investigation four
officers and employees of the department
have resigned and thirteen have been
removed. Forty-four indictments have
been found, involving thirty-one per-
sons, ten of whom have been connected
with the postal service"
r In a memorandum accompanying the
report the president expresses his in
dignation that such state of affairs
should exist, and urges the prompt
trial and punishment of the offenders.

Stature Reduced Two Inches.

Daniel J. Blackwell, a Nashville
fireman who sustained broken legs
in an accident July so, will soon
leave the city hospital, reduced in
stature two inches. As compensa-
ton he will have saved both his
legs. Both of Blackwell's legs were
broken above the knee, and when
taken to the hospital they were
placed in splints and then in plaster.
An investigation of one leg later
showed that it had not properly
healed. In order to save the leg a
portion of the bone was removed
and the parts were bandaged to-
gether. A similar operation was
necessary as to the other leg, the
bone being fastened together with
a silver clasp, holes being bored
through the bones in the operation.
In each operation the bone was re-
duced in length about two inches.
The injured man is recovering the
use of the leg first operated upon,
and the other is healing rapidly.
