ital out of leniency on his part. and his
enemies might have triumphed had he
permitted Andre to live. The moral eff
feet of his death on the colonies was
beneficial. for it showed that any trea-

was unjustly treated, however. Even

To Be Seen in the New Belasco PLAY
Sweet Kitty Bellairs."

While historical facts have not been
overlooked. 1 don't call my play an
historical play. because I depart from
tacts very frequently. But so far as 1
have dealt with the character of Andre
1 have been most careful to treat him
justly, and as he deserves. That many
eminent authorities will denounce me
FOR II is to be expected. You will find
some histories which extol Andre as
martyr. and others which denounce
him as a spy. 1 have always been
deeply interested in Andres career. and
l have carefully consulted all, the au-
thorities. 1 have come to the concIu-
sion that Andre was a far more lovabIe
and admirable character than the pres
ent generation realizes"

Evolution of Scenic Ingenuity Dates
Back TO Shakespeare.

Back to Shakespeare.
Dion Boucicault's "Arrah-Na-Pogue''
has been revived in Boston, with Andrew
Mack as the hero. and 1t furnishes this
clever actor with an opportunity 20 dis
course Interestingly on the production OF
stage effects:
Il have talked much Of late" he says,
concerning the work Of tho present and
the curiosities Of the past, with Joseph
Physioc, our scenic authority, and nnd
that scenery, properly speaking. was
used for the first time at the Globe
Theater. London, when Shakespeare
produced his Henry VIII which was
called All Is True There was one
painted cloth used at the back and. the
few properties were copies of the real
things in a crude way.
Yet, to the confusion of the satirists,
who date all stage realism to Crumm-
les pump. and lament the Importance
given to scenic environment nowadays.
we find that in Italy as early as 1880
intricate machinery was regularly in
PRODUCED into their religious plays for
the stimulation Of such phenomena as
thunderbolts. earthquakes. falling stars
and descending angels. Again, in a sa-
tirical treatise on the opera, published

A sOLICIToUs ILLINoIsAN
Afraid His Family in Phoenix Would
 Feel the Coal Shortage.

People living in the Salt river valley can no more understand the wildness and extent of the fuel panic in the east than the customers who have never been here can understand what kind of a climate this is. A faint echo of the panic reached Phoenix last Friday by telegraph and it was accentuated yes terday by letter.
 There is gentleman in Illinois whose family is spending the winter here. There is another gentleman, an attor- ney from Minneapolis, spending the winter in the city and he is an old friend of the Illinois people. On Friday he received a telegram from his friend in Illinois adjuring him to see that his family did not suffer from want of fuel. The telegram gave the Mime apolis gentleman carte blanche to buy it at any cost and if he could not buy it he was begged to steal it.
 The Illinois man had first written 70 him to that effect, and the fuel stua- tion in Illinois having probably tight ened somewhat. he got more panic stricken and sent the telegram.
 His Minneapolis friend sent him a telegram yesterday merely informing him that there was no suffering in Phoenix on account of the coal short age. At the same time he wrote him at length telling him that his family was spending the afternoons of the latter part of January in the shade of a pep per tree because it was most too warm to sit in the sun. He advised him also to consult the weather bureau reports regarding the state of the temperature in Phoenix.
 All this serves to show how little is known in the country at large regard 1 ing this part of the world in spite of the l efforts that have been made by the board of trade in the direction of popu- | lar education.

A Cincinnati Man Telling the Story
 of the Valley.

Lands for the Evangelization of the World" is an interesting pamphlet which is being extensively distributed throughout the east. It is printed by John G. Hudson of Cincinnati, who spent some time here three years ago, and in connection with the Rio Verde Canal company became interested in the development of Pleasant valley. The pamphlet of course devotes a con siderable part of its space to that en- terprise. but it also contains q good description of Phoenix, the surround ing towns and the whole Salt River valley. It is therefore something more than prospectus. IL describes what has been done by irrigation already and what may be done by the develop ment of water by the Rio Verde com pany. It contains a great deal of in teresting information regarding the public land laws and considerab ble space is devoted to the climatology of this part of the country.
 The pamphlet is not the result wholly of the writer's personal observations, but it contains the testimony of many old residents of the valley ana O. many who are not residents but who on ac- some time. Among those who have contributed evidence to the advantages the valley offers to settlers or advan- tages that a bountiful water supply would offer them are C. A. Massie, L.. l.. Plank, J. w. Coverdale, w. l.. Os- born and many others.

PEARRE'S PROMOTION.

Congressman Geo. A Pearre's trans
fer to the judiciary committee from
the District of Columbia committee,
on which he has heretofore served, is
intended by Speaker Cannon as a
promotion He told Mr.. Pearre that
it was his purpose to make the judi
ciary committee one of the strongest
committees in the House, ranking
next only as to ways and means and
the appropriations. The judiciary
committee will have under consider
alton this year one of the gravest
problems that confronts Congress,
namely. the discussion of charges of
impeachment that are to be filed
against two federal judges. Hence,
Mr. Cannon has composed this com
mittee of men who, in his opinion,
will make that committee a jury
whose verdict will be reviewed by
the House and subsequently by the
Senate. He has made it up of the
best legal talent in the House, and
Mr.. Pearre's appointment to the com
mittee can be regarded, as it was in
tended by Mr.. Cannon, as marked
compliment to his legal ability.

BUY AT HOME.

The holiday shopper should bear in
mind that when dollar is spent with
a local merchant he stands chance
of getting it back in the ordinary
movement of trade and circulation of
money; if the dollar is spent in Balti-
more or Pittsburg there is not the
least hope of ever seeing a penny of it
again. If not from a sense of patriot
ism, certainly from selfish motives
Oakland people should buy at home
and give the home merchant a chance
to make profit in order that he may
in turn be able to save money to spend
with other residents of the city. The
home merchant is entitled to the
trade of the home people; he helps to
rents and buys from other home mer-
chants. Besides the shopper can buy
everything cheaper here than he can
in the city; this stands to reason; he
does not have nearly the expense and
can live on a smaller profit. But even
if five dollar article be obtained in
Baltimore for $3.50 the expense of
the trip is very considerable, and that
should be counted. Noone ever saved
a cent by buying in Baltimore or the
large cities, and the articles purchas-
ed cannot be better than if purchased
at home, for the manufacturer is the
same in both cases.
There is neither profit nor reason
in buying holiday or any other sort CT
goods out of town. If the home mer-
chant does not have the article want
ed in stock, we guarantee that he will
procure it for the shopper at a lower
price than it can be obtained in a
city store

RUTH KING.
Only Daughter of Revolution in Garrett
County at Time of Her Death.

Only Daughter of Revolution in Garrett
County at Time of Her Death.
Ruth King, daughterof Geo. King,
Revolutionary soldier, died lately
near Sang Run high up in her eighties
She was never married, and for many
years was so infirm physically and
mentally as to need and receive sup
port from the county for her existence.
She was the last child of reyolution-
AIRY soldier living in the county. A bill
had already been prepared by a
thoughtful person and placed in the
hands of Congressman Pearre for her
relief by way of a pension which need
not now be presented. And strange
to say she has living sister, now in
Somerset county Pa, Emorella Gliss-
an. She was twice married, but is
now a widow for the second time.
Of course she is very aged. Allegheny
county has now no memorial in the
way of a son or daughter of the revo-
lutionary war, since the death of Issac
Smith about three years ago near
Flintstone. There are yet few living
who remember the good old George
King at his cakeshop on the old ma
tional road between Frostburg and
GranTsyille. Among the small num-
Der is the venerable VIM. H. Miller,
of Barton, who use to listen to the
old soldiers earnest prayer and no
doubt uttered amen many times to
his invocations. The veteran soldier
of the war of our independence died
