TWO LITTLE WARRANTS.
la Barre & Muensters Company En-
tertans at the Auditorium.


tertains at the Auditorium.
lie Barre 4 Muenster's "Two Little
Migrants" held the boards at the Au-
ditorum Monday night. The house
was not taxed to accommodate those
who attended, and the members of
the company found it difficult, ap-
parently, to warm to their work.
There was diversity of opinion
about the merit of the play and of
the company presenting it, but those
who were inclined 80 criticise were
willing to admit that the members of
the cast had scant encouragement to
deliver the best of which they were
capable.
The play tells the story of "A boy
who has been given by revengeful
husband and father to burglar,
After nine years the father, who had
doubted the wife's fidelity, became
convinced of his error and, filled with
remorse, offers 10000 francs to the
burglar La Renard, for the return of
his child, now called Fan Fan.
The boy fled to Paris, and the vii
lain substituted a nephew of his
wife's, Claude to get the money.
Fan Fan entered the house of his
mother in search of food and there
meets Claude and establishes his
identity He returns to the gypsy's
home to secure papers of value to
his parents and rescues his father,
and after the return to Paris there
is a happy denoumeut and a COM
plete reconciliation between the mem
bers of the family.
Some criticism was undoubtedly
due the company for eliminating one
of the principat scenes that had been
advertised,
S. Miller Kent, to be the attraction
at the Auditorium on Friday evening
presenting his successful farce Fac
ing the Music" direct from its long
run at the Garrick theatre New York
and Powers theatre. Chicago In
Facing the Music" Mr.. Kent has the
role of young husband. who, as
seems always the custom of hus-
bands, remains out all night His
name is John Smith and his procliv-
tiles are toward sport, What more
natural therefore II in farce-than
that the Rev, John Smith, "curate of
St Andrews should recently have
taken apartments at the same build
ing? The wives of both men suddenly
return from visits To the country
| The wife of the curate establishes
herself by mistake in the apartment
of the sporting man. Then follows
an hour and "A half of door slamming
mistaken identity shrieks of sur
prise, sudden exits and all the other
time-honored complications of farce
Mr., Darnley uses tie old eXpedients
with skill, sustains the suspense with,

third act, makes it possible for his
characters to take seriously the alb,
surd situations into which they are
thrust, and otherwise fulfills the far

JUDGES BY PETITION.
Candidates in the Ninth Will
Take no Chances.
WHAT ABOUT THE RESULT

IL Effect the Count or the Result Of
the Election-Petitions are Being
Generally Signed.
Friends Of the candidates for dis
trict Judge in this district propose
to take no chances regarding the rul-
ing of Secretary of state Marsh that
certificates of nomination should be
flcd with the secretary of state IN
stead of the county clerks as has hore-
toforc boon deemed sufficient The
ruling Is being tested through case
that will be acted upon by the SUI
prcmc court. but In the event the rul-
ing ut the secretary of state is sus-
tanned there would be but tvc candi-
dates In the state whose names are
entitled to places on the ticket, as
their regular party nominees and the
time limit having expired in which
to file such nominations, there Is only
one recourse and that is for the can
didates to get their names ON the
tickets by petition.
Jack Kocnigstcn has been circulat-
ing petition to have Judge Boyd's
name given a place on the ticket and
found no difficulty whatever in secur.
ing the signatures necessary. The
same steps have been taken by the
friends of Judge Cones, the fusion
nominee, and II the secretary of state
is sustained in his position both of
the candidates In this district Will
appear "by petition" and the names
of the party that placed them in nom
inaton will not appear, so that 1t Will
be necessary for voters to exercise
extra care in marking their ballots
in order to vote for their political
choice for the position
If the names appear by petition Il
straight vote in the space at the top
of the ballot will be counted for
neither candidate, and those wishing
To vote straight ticket will there
fore need to make two marks, one in
the circle at the top and another after

ZOO CARLOADS OF FREIGHT.
That Much Material Will Go
Into the Building.
HAULING AMOUNTS TO $4,000.


to See Just Where the Contractors
Could Spend $e3.ooo-The Cornice
Stones Begin to Edge.
The cornice stones on the north
wall of the United States courthouse
building began to edge the top of the
bricks this morning From now on the
brick work will begin to be buried
and the magnificent granite will stand
out in an imposing manner over all.
The brick on the second and third
stories of the structure have, until
now, been the most conspicuous por-
tion of the whole picture. but they
will now gradually sink into a subor-
dinate position.
200 Carloads of Freight.
"It is hard to see Just where 200
carloads of freight will be buried in
that building" said Superintendent
Williams, 'but that is just about what
the whole structure will contain when
! it is completed"
And every carload of freight will
average a rate of 500 for transpor-
tation. so that easily $4,000 of the
the railroads for hauling Norfolk S
courthouse from the quarries and the
iron centers to its final site.
1t is thought that the roof will be
reached within a few more weeks and
then will come the wiring for lights,

week let to a Chicago firm.
No better building weather in the
world could be imagined than that
! by which the contractors have been
favored during the past week. 1t is
clear and open so that the laborers
warm that the brick and stone have
to be constantly kept cool.
Doesn't See Where Money is.
81 don't see where the money is in
a building like that" said a banker
from neighboring town yesterday
Now | don't object to letting the
contractors make reasonable profit
say half-but when they get $685.
600 for a building like that, it looks
bad. I'm very sure | could put it up
for $4,000"
Superintendent Williams is now
trying to locate the man so that he
can sublet the job. He is confident
that by the time the stranger had
reached the roof he would be borrow
ing from his neighbors in great wads
to help complete the job.
Not a few persons have looked
upon the red walls of the second and
third stories with disfavor. "Why
didn't they make it all granite or all
stone?' they ask. But it is anticipat-
ed that these same, when the cornice
stones are set and the roof 10 rest
ing in its place, will see nothing in
the red brick but a bit of trimming,
and will be mighty glad it's there
for the sake of harmony.

Crow Migration.

At Rossitten, in Eastern Prussia
large numbers Of crows and rocks are
caught alive in nets every year during
the two migration seasons. The direc'
tor of the station Of the German Ornf
biological Society at Rossitten pro-
poses to try curious experiment with
these birds. Small metal rings bearing
number and date will be attached
to one foot of each of them, aftel
which they will be liberated and per
mitted to proceed upon their own paths
of migration. Notices have been sent
all over Germany requesting that wher
any of these birds are shot the foot and
ring attached to it may be returned
to the director of the "Vogelwarte" al
Rossitten. 1t is quite possible thai
some of them may stray even as fal
as the shores of Great Britain, and if
this should happen it is hoped that the
directors request may be attended to.
An accurate record will be kept al
Rossitten of the dates of the liberation
of every bird and of the locality
whence it's foot is returned, and it is
expected that some interesting deduc.
tons will be made from the informa
ton thus obtained.-Nature.
