Marie Corelli's popular book "fhel-
MAJ has been rewritten Into dramat-
10 form, and will be produced at
Swisher's Theatre April "a
The dramatization brings INTO lie
che most prominent OF the charac-
Ssrs found in the novel, and they are
said to lose none OF their strength
and yirility In the many changes or
time and place necessary TO produce
dramatic effect. The discrepancies
are claimed to be few, and the plot
pretty and most impressive one. A
short outline of the play may prove
OF more than ordinary interest to our
readers.
The first act presents the Alien
Yjord In midsummer, where two Eng
lish visitors, Sir Phillip Errington and
his friend George Lorimer meet Olaf
Guldmar the Viking and his daughter
Thelma; Errington falling in love
with Thelma. The next act shows
ths famous Norwegian water fall
NIedszgorze, at the base OF which
ErrinQton declares his love and is ac-
cspted by Thelma. The third act is
laid 10 London, in Sir Phillip Erring-
tens home; Lady Winsleigh, a former
sweetheart OF the English knight, de-
tsrmines to win him again, and ac-
serdingly lays a plot TO get rid OF
Thelms, with the support OF Violet
We're q ballet girl. She cOnyinces
Thslna that her husband is false.
Thelma cannot bear disgrace and fees
to her old home 10 Norway. The last
act shows again the Alien Fjord; this
time la mid winter with the appear
ance of the northern lights and the
Rainbow Bridge" the latter accord
ing TO Morse mythology, being the
summons Of the Valdyerie. Thelma
arrives just in time TO see her father
die; he drifts away in his burning
ship, after the manner Of the Vikings
who preferred death hy the " Crimson
Stroud. Sir Philip Erriugton ar.
rives In search Of his wife. Every
thing is cleared up, and the couple
sst out again for England.
Mr. Benedict, the proprietor OF the
attraction, announces that he has Sc
cured one OF the best companies ever
under his management, and an IN
usually large audience Is looked for.

Paterson Can See Relief Ahead
More Fatalities.

], Paterson, N. j., Oct. 1S.-The
water in the flooded district contin-
ues to go down and no apprehension
of further damage is felt. All the
families who were in danger have
been taken from their homes and
cared for. About 1000 homeless are
being looked after by the relief COM
lmittee.
1t will be several days before. all
of the sufferers can return to their
homes, while many will have to be-
gin all over again, their homes
having been swept away. Some of the
mills in the flooded districts which
had to be shut down, started to-day.
Thousands of mill hands will be out
of work for some time. AS the water
recedes from the buildings, damage
and ruin is seen: everywhere.
= Nearly every bridge and culvert on
the highway in this vicinity was
damaged or washed away.
There is a scarcity of provisions on
account Of communication having
been shut off with the outside world
since Friday last. There has beer
almost a famine of milk, eggs and

Stevenson, who was. convicted in Teton
county and sentenced to fourteen
years on a charge. Of grand larceny.
The, Minnesotans were unanimous in
declaring that Stevenson, who for
many years resided in St. Paul, was a
respectable and influential citizen and
not a. member of the criminal class
and expressed the, belief that he had
been sufficiently punished for the al
legged theft of cattle. $500
Governor Toole, in his letter to the
board of pardons, said it was proved
conclusively by the statements of the
petitioners that Stevenson had been a
resident of Montana less than a year at
the time of his conviction, whereas it
was testified that he had been engaged
in cattle rustling for five or six years
land in consequence he could not have
been member Of the criminal class
which had great weight in securing
for him the extreme penalty at the
hands of the court.
Governor Too1e also pointed out the
fact that Stevenson was convicted
solely on the testimony Of two alleged
associates in crime, who had Ions
since been liberated because they ha6
turned states evidence.

The report tells of purchase Of the
site for the Bancroft school for
which the board Of education paid
$4,000 when the owner was willing
to sell for $2,350. This was done by
having an agent secure an option on
the property and sell it to the school
board at the advanced price.

William Hull was 80 years old and
a retired merchant. His brother
Johnson was two years younger and
the two had been inseparable during
their long span Of life. Despite his
years Johnson was accounted one Of
the best letter carriers in the service,
intos which he celebrated recently the
forty-ffth anniversary of his entry.
He was fond of declaring he would
live a score Of years more and he often
put on the gloves for boxing bout
with the younger men in the Brooklyn
postoffice. - .... -. F..
The death of his brother was a hard
blow and he grieved deeply over his
loss. At the close of the funeral serv-

Frank H. Hamilton's plea for COM
mutation of sentence was considered
by the state board of pardons this

members have said that they are not
