The scene of The Vinegar Buyer is
the village of Brooklyn, Ind, small
hamlet of 100 inhabitants, about 20
miles from Indianapolis. The characters
are more or less faithful reproductions
of actual persons. Mr.. kendall's char
acter is that of a village humorist. who,
by his straightforwardness captures the
affections of all the townspeople, both
male and female. The title is an old
and amusing one but it describes the
Joe Miller of the play, the role which
Mr.. Kendall personates. Joe Miller
does a lot of things in the play which
are vastly more interesting than his
vocation as a vinegar buyer. Really,
the vinegar business cuts but little fig
ure in the piece. though Joe Miller is a
vinegar buyer beyond question. He
is, moreover, a grand, good fellow.
whom the whole village learns to love
for his big heart. wise mead and gener-
Gus impulses. His bump of shrewdness
and his knowledge of human nature
enable him to overcome the machind-
tions of the wicked and to care for the
unfortunate and oppressed in a manner
that makes an auditor glad he is alive.
To sum it all up, THE Vinegar Buyer
is an attractive human story of real
| characters, bright and witty dialogue
and impressive situations.

BLANCHE WAL H.

The first was 1.-The Daughter of
Hamilcar," based on Flaubert's "Sa-
lammbo,'' and the second is 'sResurrec-
tion,'' based on Tolstoy's novel. In the
former play she was clever enough, but
it did not give her the chance OF ap-
pearing on Broadway. New York, the
Mecca of the ambitious player.
With Resurrection. however, the
opportunity came, and Gotham-s most
popular critic said she was a revelation.
Her success was such that 'Resurrec-
ton" was hardly regarded in the light
of a play. There was little need of the
massive production. or the convictSs or
the lights, or the small tragedies which
have been woven into the play. Ma
slova's face is said to tell it all. Miss
Walsh is able to sympathize with her
character, and to study the emotions
that have hungered the souls of mill
lion Maslovas
Managers WagenhaIs and Kemper an
nounce that they have arranged for
Blanche Walsh's engagement IN New
York, in a new play beginning early in
February. Until that time she will be
seen on tour in the principal cities with

ate scenic production as given at the

A TRIP TO ARIZONA
Threw a Kansas Man Off His Mental
 Balance.

The Atchison Qlas.) papers are print ing long accounts of the insanity ofI Louis Bubb, citizen of that county of considerable prominence. A variety O: causes for his insanity are ascribed, and the whole matter takes on some local interest by reason of the fact tha, one of the causes assigned was trip to Arizona last winter. Bubb was a brother-in-law of Charles Walsz. who was murdered near Gila Bend. X month after the murder Bubb and an other brother-in-Iaw of Walsz by the name of Fred Stutz came here to set tie the estate. Neither of the men had ever been away from home before and neither had the slightest notion of the value of a dry ranch in Arizona. They knew that WalsZ had a section of land
 in this territory. They learned that land in the vicinity of Phoenix was worth from s1O0 to $500 an acre and they nearly had a quarrel over the di- vision of the property before they saw it and found out that it was probably worthless.
 It was soon after his return that Bubb began to worry his family. He charged his wife and all his children with having no minds; that is he would not say that they were insane but only lacking in intellect. He talked at first of having them put into an asylum. They paid no attention to that threat, but when he got to debating whether it would not be better to put them out of the way than transmit their affiic
 ton to posterity, they began to move and Bubb was arrested.
 One of the things that it was thought might have affected his mind was his disappointment about the estate of Walsz and the loss of railroad ticker ing very close; so close in fact that he had accumulated a fortune of s40, 900, by working his family like slaves and saving all that they made. Others thought that it was the journey % Arizona that had thrown him off his balance. He had never been more than twenty miles away from home and had
 no idea the world was so big. He pondered about the bigness of it so long that his brain gave way. That was one theory. Another was that there was too much religion. Shortly before setting out on the Arizona trip, he joined a church, and within a week | had grown so enthusiastic that he be- | lieved all the other members were l hypocriteS and that of all the congre- | gation he was the only true follower. | Stutz said that on the way to this | territory Bubb fell in with an unfor- | tunate traveller and talked religion to
 him two days and two nights. At last | he providentially got so hoarse he
 could not talk and the traveller was a1- | lowed to resume his journey in peace. Another item of testimony in the in- sanity case was that after his return 1 from Arizona he was never satisfied
 unless he could keep every body on the jump all the time" Everybody about
 him had been jumping more or less for
 years, but now MT. Bubb insisted on
 still greater agility. After he had
 been adjudged insane he took the mat
 ter philosophically and said that the | greatest mistake of his life had been
 his neglect to have his wife arreste1 ]
 for insanity before she had time tc
 make complaint against him.

FROM SLEEP TO DEATH
The Sudden Ending Alone of the Life
 of W. E Gill.

A man by the name of w. F. Gil was found dead in his bed yesterday at noon at I'll East Jefferson street. The house where he died was occupied by an acquaintance by the name of ". D. Shackley. Gill had been in ill health for some time, suffering of tubercr- losis of the throat. He had been work ing at whatever he could find to do until he grew so weak that he coull work no longer. He was taken in by his friend a few days ago and seemel to be getting no worse. Yesterday morning, before MT. Shackley went to his work, he got the sick man a jar Of buttermilk and left it at his bedside When he returned at noon Gill was dead. He had drunk half the butter milk, and, probably having gone to sleep, passed to death. There were no indications of a struggle. Even the clothing of the bed had not been dis arranged.
 MT. Shackley notified Justice Bur nett. who summoned a jury consisting of the following persons: W. H. Black, D. G. Graham, H. L. White, J. Nelson, W. D. Shackley and w. F. Williams The jury decided that death had re- suited from natural causes.
 MT. Shackley said that Gill was fifty-one years old and had lived in Phoenix for two years. He had known him that iong. He believed he had a wife and daughter living some where in Oregon, but he did not know where. Gill, he said, had friend in Califor- nia by the name of J. H. Sipes, wi'n whom he had regularly corresponded and he believed that Sipes would know the address of Gill's family. He said

TURNING OUT BILLS
The Grand Jury Still Doing Business
 at the Old Stand.

The grand jury is still keeping up the business of indicting people. Only four bills were returned yesterday. two each against John Havard and Santiago Berryesa. The offense with which Berryesa is charged is the falsi lying of his claim against the county for services as interpreter in the court of Justice Robertson. The certificate of service had been signed by the jus tice but between the time of his sigma ture and the presentation of it at the office of the board of supervisors it had been changed. This happened in two instances the aggregate of the changes in favor of the defendant amounting to about $15.
 Havard was indicted for forgery. Last winter one night while he was drunk and gambling unsucessfully he put several checks for sTnan amounts
 in circulation with names attached to them of persons whose financial in tegrity procured him the money. When he was arrested checks partly filled out were found in his possession The de- fense in his case will probably be in sanity while under the influence of liquor, the same defense which has so often stood him in good stead when he has been arrested for giving way to a tendency of kleptomania.
 Havard had been indicted the day before but it was found that an error had been made ill his name which was spelled Harvard" That would prob ably not have been a fatal defect but it was thought better to have the name right while the correction could be made as well as not. Both Berrysea and Havard were arraigned. The case of the former went over until today. The latter will plead today.
 In the cases Of Pedro Encinas. Car los AIdai and Marcel Moreno demurrers to the indictments were argued and overruled and pleas of not guilty were entered. Aldai and Moreno will be tried on April 21.
 The grand jury yesterday afternoon had the case of Josiah Anderson, charged with the killing of William Cameron, under consideration but had not finished it at the time of adjourn ment. This case was before the last grand jury. All the evidence before the grand jury showed that the killing had been done in self defense. The jury dismissed the case from further consideration by it but referred it to it's successor.
 There is possibility that the work of the grand jury will be finished to- morrow but it may run into next week
 In the case of D. H. Burtis against The Arizona Building company proof of judgment having been furnished ar order of foreclosure or attachment was made. The case of G. H. Hirschfel6 against W. C. Greene was reset fol trial today.

Such dilatory action on the part of the

Company commanders will be urged to turn

The money for the payment of the troops
was placed to the credit of Capt. Parker in

that delays the payment is the selection of
the time for the mastering of the various

essary to consult with>the battalion COM
manders as to what time would be conven-
tent before the order can be issued from

will have to be given time in which to get
their men together.

pose of securing a lieutenant, junior grade.
