Had Murdered . White

Peoria, Ill, June "a. Detective
William e. Murphy was killed by "Bil-
"" Moray, q negro desperate whom
he was attempting to arrest at the
corner Of Water and Eaton streets.
McRay then attempted to make his es-
cape, but was caught by Detective
Chadwick. McRay was hurried to the
city jail, and in less than an hour a
mob numbering at least 1000 men and
boys had assembled and made a de-
mand on the chief of police for the
prisoner. The chief refused to sur
render the murderer.
In hope of attracting the attention of
the mob the fire department was called
out and made a run past the jail.
The ruse partially succeeded, large
number of the crowd following the fire
department. In the meantime the chief
had ordered all the electric lights in
the city to be turned out and In the
darkness Moray was hurriedly taken
to the county jail, In short time the
mob discovered that it had been de-
ceived and formed in front of the cOun-
ty jail. The entire police force of the
city was called out in order to guard
the jail. The mob stayed in front Of
the jail until ! a. m. when 1t began to
dispense, being cowed by the deter
mined attitude of the sheriff.

CONGRATULATIONS
Chase Theater.

THE Fortune Teller" the comic opera
written for petite Alice Nielsen, the prima
donna soubrette, who first sprang into
prominence with the Bostonians, has been
secured for presentation at Chase's next
week, and the event is regarded by the
management as the most important of the
summer series of operas. The entire mas
sive original production will be offered.
For the Alice Nielsen role of Musette, the
fortune teller. Miss Edna Bronson has been
secured. Her engagement is based upon
the fact that while with 1.-The Fortune
Teller company she played the part a
number of times. and when she accom-
panied the picked cast to London Miss
Miss Nielsen fell i'll. She received high
praise for her work. The heavy bass role
of Sander, which Eugene Cowles originally
sang, will be assumed by L. S. Metcalf.
Miss May BOley. also of the original For
tune Teller" company, and who was with
Miss Nielsen in The Singing Girl" will
play Mile. Pompon, the opera singer. Rob
ert Lett. the comedian. will play the
comedy part of Fresco, the ballet master.
Miss Winnifred Williams is another who
will repeat her role in the first presenta
ton. AS Naninka, a sort of Carmen, Miss

sion that she. too, was taken to London
with Miss Nielsen. Grafton Baker the
spirited tenor, last heard with Frank
Daniels in Miss Simplicity" will play

that strongly appeals to an audience, but
at the same time must be played with eX-
IRENE delicacy and tact. AS Lady Algy,
in a role that is entirely congenial and
equal in Importance and interest to that
essayed by Mr.. Ormonde. Miss Cortelyou
has recently spent eight years in England
and is well acquainted with the type of
woman she is to play. She is but little
known here In Washington having appear
ed only once before, with William Gillette
in Sherlock Holmes last season. Her play
ing is looked forward to with an interest
most unusual at this season of the year.
In addition to the two leading roles,
Lord and Lady Algy" abounds in clever
characters. 1t is not by any means a two
person play. The playwright constructed
his work on the theory that any parsonage
worthy of place in the action of the play
was worthy also of an individuality. He
has consequently created Il decidedly anus
ing and interesting company of people.
The comedy is in three acts the first and
third being at Lord Algy's apartments in
Piccadilly, and the second at the home OF
Braba ION Tudway. the rich tradesman who
is endeavoring to break into society for
the sake of the women of his family Here
a fancy dress ball is in progress, the scene
presented being quite picturesque and full

roles in the long cast include in addition to

played to prosperous business in the piece.
Recently RIP Van Wrinkle has been re-
vived throughout the country, and 1T is in
response to this evident demand for the
play that the management of the Berger
Stock Company, at the Lafayette Square
Opera House, announces it as the coming
weeks bill. In view of the prices prevail
ing when Rip has been seen heretofore
and those in vogue at the Lafayette now,
the production should take on added popu-

the original, it is said-tO the realization of

supplant the usual imitation trees and

supplied an entire new equipment. Rip

Sullivan. Popular price matinees will be
given on Wednesday and Saturday, as
usual.

CHANGES IN THE BERGER STOCK
COMPANY.-Thesea are active days for the
members of the Berger Stock Company at
the Lafayette Square Opera House. Two
weeks ago witnessed the retirement of the
leading man, who removed his base of OPP
erations to a local playhouse, and now his
successor, Mr.. Wyngate, steps down. Mr.
Vyngate Will make his farewell appearance
With the company this evening, when he
leaves for San Francisco to play leads in
4 special list of plays. under the man
agEent of Fred BelaSco. Mr.. Wyngate
made this arrangement before coming to
Washington.
He is to be succeeded by John T. Sulli-
van, the well-known leading heavy of the
company and IT has been announced that
the plays selected for future production
will be those to which Mr.. Sullivans at
talnments lend themselves readily.
As stated last Saturday, Miss Selene
Johnson, the leading woman, will retire at
the end of the coming week, and is to be
succeeded by Miss Jane Rivers, a young
woman already of the company, who has
made quite a favorable impression.
Another retirement this evening is that
of Miss Gertrude Berkeley, who has ac-
cepted an engagement with the Castle
Square Stock Company of Boston. Miss
Berkeley has filled the role of character
heavy with the company and her per
formances have been conspicuous for the
excellence of their Interpretation.
Frederic Sullivan, the stage director, Will
also retire at the end of the coming week.
MR.. HANFORD'S SUCCESSIVE. Chas.
b. Hanford returned to the city Tuesday
morning, closing the most successful tours
he has ever made His season of thirty
1--WE weeks was filled with notable incident.
Mr. Hanford has been playing in the west
almost entirely, producing Shakespearean
comedies. He reached as far west as San
Francisco and in an extended engagement
he established himself distinct favorite
IN the western metropolis. The three plays
in which he appeared were Much Ado
About Nothing" 1.-The Tanning of the
Shrew' and THE Merchant of Venice.
One of the most pleasing features of his
season was the success achieved by Mrs.
Hanford in the leading Shakespearean
roles. Mrs. Hanfords stage name is Marie
Drofnah. The favorable impression made
by here everywhere is reflected in the very
hatterng newspaper reviews of the various
performances. Both Mr.. and Mrs Han
ford enjoyed their western experience most
thoroughly, finding the audiences con-
genial and appreciative. Mr.. Hanford will
devote the summer to preparing his next
seasons production which may be a brand
new play of a romantic character, and to
correspondence in connection with the Ma
tional Theater of America, in which he has
already interested a number of prominent
public men.

THE CLOCK WENT
In the Company of the Eidgety Lady
Who Admired It.

From the New York Sun.
David Belasco is gaining common sense
as the years roll around with their fortunes
for him. When he first presented the New
Workers with the ideal of home theater
he furnished retiring and dressing rooms
quite as deliberately as the foyers. Bric-a-
and high priced, even down to combs and
brushes and clocks.
The towels were first seized on as cute
souvenirs of the new theater, and they dis
appeared at the rate of $50 for each per-
Torrance When the precaution was taken
of marking them with the identifying in
itials of the owner they went the faster. 1t
seemed to add to their value in the esteem
of the collectors.
One day the maid found lady of elegant
apparel slowing the clock away in one of
her stockings. 1t was one of the choicest
things in the room-the clock. 1t was a
Marie Antoinette clock.
The maid didn't know whether it had be-
longed to Marie Antoinette at one time or
whether it reflected her idea of what a
clock ought to be. Mr.. Belasco had i'm
ported it and it was inventoried among the
properties of the theater at high price.
What are you doing with that clock in
your stocking?" asked the maid.
The lady snapped the elastic of her silken
garter viciously and, blushing, committed
this hardened reply:
Il always wear stockings with clocks in
them"
The maid reported the occurrence to Mr.
Belasco.
Did you recover the clock?' he asked
blowing his field of gray hair with his
manicured fingers.
Yes. SIR" said the maid, but when l
came up here to tell you there was another
lady idgeting around near it."
Maid and BelaScO rushed downstairs The
other lady had fidgeted successfully. The
clock was gone.
One by one the combs and brushes and
silver toilet pieces went. For a season they
were replaced regularly with others of the
same kind. But now Mr.. Belasco has seen
the uselessness of the higher cultivation for
retiring rooms and the articles can be re-
placed at a minimum expense.

Lafayette Square Theater.

Looking back over the records of stage
land for the past fifty-odd years the sue
cess that has fallen to the lot of RIP Van
Wrinkle" that delightful old play founded
on the legend in Irving's THE Scrap
Book" forms a pleasing retrospect. Jo-
seph Jefferson stood as sponsor for it at
the premier of his version in this city, al
most half century ago.
To Dion Boucicault, who five years
after Mr.. Jefferson's version was produced
in Washington rewrote the drama, is due
a great share of the credit for the phe-
nomenal success Of the play. The idea,
however, was not by any means original
with them.
II is said that as early as 1920 version
OF old Rip was produced at the Walnut
Street Theater, Philadelphia. In 1880 James
III. Hackett produced his own dramatiza-
uon at the old Park Theater, New York,
md previous to that Charles b. Parsons,

A STUDY Of Lincoln.

A unique entertainment in the shape of
an impersonation of Abraham Lincoln will
be given by Mr.. Benjamin Chaplin at the
Eastern Presbyterian Church, June 10. The
entertainment consists of an Interpretation
of Lincolns personality, appearance and
characteristics. The garments worn by
Mr.. Chaplin are exact duplicates of those
generally worn by President Lincoln, and
as Mr. Chaplin is about the same size of the
martyred President the illusion is made al
most complete. Mr.. Chaplin has devoted
much time and effort to the study of Lin
coins life and is thus enabled to give a
very close characterization
