MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
"way Down East" Pleased . Large
 Audience.

One does not wonder that "Way Down East" Lottie Blair Parker's intensely in- teresting drama of rural life in New Hampshire. seems to so on forever. It Is clean, it is natural, and 1t points a moral that is not hard to find. . When such a play is interpreted by ac. tors who know their business and Is pros duced with care as to detail and the nec- essary scenic appurtenances, It is bound to be a success. These essentials have been provided by William A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer.
 Way Down East had Its first Mont gomery production at the Montgomery Theatre last night and the critical Mont- gomery audience which saw it went away from the Theatre feeling better for having done so. There is much of the down East flavor in the scenes and acting, but hypercritical ones might suggest that 1t lacks the genuine types which render the provincial play distincttiveiy interesting and suggestive. While strikingiy dramat- ic, there were many things which ap- pealed to the sensibilities because intense ly human. The comedy element was not wanting and the humor of HI Hoiler, the chore boy, Seth Holcombe, with his Hong life' bitters, and Rube Whipple, the town constable. was clean and enjoyable.
 The pathetic situations as portrayed by <Anu6 10OOBC, 0QuiiC DAEktctt, AOut8dt HE wife. and David, his son, were touchingiy human.
 Miss Ruby Bridges gave . straishtSor. ward, intelligent portrayal Of the erno- tions which wrung poor Anna Moore. who became so happy in the end, and Mir. Drew was extremely clever as David.
 The whole company measured up to the dramatic close of the third act There was not a falter and the delicate scene was not once marred.
 The piece was well staged. the scenes of the snow storm and sugar cabin in the New Hampshire woods being distinctively natural and impressive.
 Altogether. the play was one that aroused a keen and hearty interest and left nothing but good in the minds of the audience. ....... e., < S"

THE AY1rgwoRrH INTERVIEW
Canadian Parliament Discredits Newspaper Reports as to
 Alaskan Status.

Alaskan Status. ottawa. Ont, Oct. 12.-In Parliament today Minister Birden asked if the Prime Minister had taken any steps to veriiy the accuracy of an alleged interview With MT. Aylesworth, one of the commlssloh- CTS on the Alaskan boundary questlon. Mir Borden said the telegraphic report containing certain observations both with regard to his duties as commissioner ana with regard to his views on matters no" inc subject of political controversy in the United Kingdom. Mr. Borden conciuoeo. {.
 'It seems to me rather unusual and l decline to believe that MT. Aylesworth could have used the language attributed to him."
 Sir Wilfred Laurfer replied that the government had taken no steps to ascer- tain whether the alleged interview had taken place or not. Ne added.
 .'The language attributed to him is very improbable, and until hear the contrary and have some better guarantee for be- lieving that Mir. Aylesworth has so ex- nressed himself snail believe that this interview. like many others. was not an expression of the views of MT. Ayles- worth
 MT. Bell of Pictou, called the attention of the government to e cablegram which said that Lord Alverstone considered that the United States had the best of the case and thar he was going to decide ac- eordingly.
 Sir Richard Cartright. in the absence of the Prime Minister repliedi
 'sI think this so improbable and almost impossible, that it does not require the slightest consideration at the hands of the government or any member of this house cannot conceive 1t possible that per- sun in the position If Lord Alverstone could have committed himself in advance of delivering Judgment in any such way, as is stated in this dispatch"

TRIED TO LYNcn HIM.
Young Man in Illinois Chased by e
 Mob.

Chicago. Oct. 12.-Arthur Warren. a young man living in the suburb of Ser wyn, twelve miles from the city, had a narrow escape from lynching tonight and but for the efforts of two police officers It is possible that he would have been huns to a telegraph pole.
 Warren was accused of assaulting an s-year-oId girl. Acts of this kind have occurred several times in Berwyn within the last fortnight and the crowd that pursued Warren was highly exasperated. He led them a chase of about a mile before he was caught, and during the run the excitement of the crowd had in- creased.
 When Warren was captured he was handled very roughly and proposiuon to lynch him met with approval Two police officers, however. managed to get him away from the crowd. Warren, who was a badly used man. and required surgical attendance was finally placed In a cell, although the crowd followed all the way to the station trying to get at him.
