The Bible in Modern Drama.

Bible reading NAY be on the wane,
but there must still be 3 large number
Of people who hold their interest IN
the good book and Its stories, judging
from the number of novels and plays
on biblical subjects which have APP
peared recently. One house, Nc
Clure- Phillips, has this season brought
out two books based on Bible stories.
Early IN the seaso appeared a
dramatic poem, david" by Gale
Young Rice, the author of "Charles
Di Tocca," and later came Florence
WllkinsOn's book containing two plays
Of Israel, david Of Bethlehem, -
and Mary Msgdalen." The interest
Of dramatisls in Bible subjects began
with Stephen Phillips first religious
dramas, bu; the fact that the number
Of biblical plays is increasing rather
than diminishing shows that there
still remains a good deal of religious
feeling IN p~lay-goers and readers.

 Our head office authorizes us to draw at sight for all our losses by the Baltimore ccnfiagration. estimated at Sl.000,O00. so as to avoid reducing the surplus of our United States branch.
 HENRY w. EATON. Resident manager Liverpool & Lon don & Globe Insurance Co.,
 On applying to the Phoenix agent Of the company. MT. F. J. Bennitt, it was further learned that in addition to the payment of all losses the company has made a donation of s10.O0O in sash for the Baltimore relief fund.
 In round numbers the assets of the Liverpool and London and Globe com pany are $60,O00. 900. of which s11. .OO0. .OO0 is invested in the United States for the exclusive protection of American policy holders. It will be seen by the cable gram to MT. Stoddard that this re- source is to remain intact. and that the Baltimore losses are to be paid by drafts on the home office.

STOLE A PLANE.
E. c. Washington the looser-A Hobo
 Mexican the Thief.

Thursday evening just before Black smith Washington closed up his shop for the night a Mexican by the name of Augestine Mares entered the place and while no one was looking took a plane from the shelf and disappeared with it. He went on to town and made several unsuccessful attempts to sell the article. His efforts at last were rewarded, and he disposed of it to H. J. Edson for bottle of wine and some supper. The wine had the usual eff feet, and late that night Officer Mober- ly saw him going toward the-depot and at once spotted him as suspicious character. He followed him. but as he seemed to be nothing more than an or dinary drunk he made no arrest.
 Yesterday morning when MT. Wash ington opened shop he missed the plane. and upon making inquiry he found the parties that the Mexican had tried to sell it to. From them he ob- tained a description of the thief and notified the officers. A little effort on their part resulted in the finding of the man in the Tempe house where he was eating. He was placed under arrest and his trial took place immediately. He will serve the usual time in jail as the penalty for his transgression.

LOST A MILLION DOLLARS
Then Gave Ten Thousand Dollars
 More to Charity.

As the days go by it is pleasing to note that the effects of the Baltimore fire are not as serious as was feared at first, and that the insurance com panies seem to be well able to handle the heavy losses that have come to them. Most pleasing of all is the promptness with which the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance com pany, the largest in the world. has act ed, and the liberal way in which it has come to the rescue of stricken Balti- more. It's actions in the matter must inspire its policy holders with greater confidence than ever. The above com ment is occasiOned by d telegram which was received by Isaac T. Stoddard
 secretary and insurance commissioner of the territory It was a cablegram from the home office of :he company in London, and retransmitted by wire from New York under date of Febru-

This is in addition to the windows along the sides of the auditorium which will be near the ground and which may he used as exits in an emergency.
