GRANn oPERA HOUSE.


 Distinctively modern is the atmos- phere of Hearts kdrift'' that was pro- dueed at the Grand Opera house last night before a large audience. In fact, it is just trifie ahead of the present and this feature, causing the introduce ton of an airship, added to the general interest Of the play. The scenic realism of the race for life on the flying ma chine was remarkable. The entire plot of the play up to this thrilling moment had led naturally to this as the only means of escape for the heroine from the evil characters, and, therefore, the scene was of great importance in the story of the play, as well as being the scenic triumph of the production.
 The characters of Hearts Adrift'' in- clude all types of the metropolis and the company appeared large enough and sufficiently versatile to do justice to the requirements of the play. E. l.. Snader as Captain Teddy easily won his audience and his succession of thrilling adventures and situations called for much effort on his part, of which he acquitted himself we'll Edmund Gerue a schemer and promoter, was represent ed by Frederick Bacus in satisfactory manner. Mabel Florence was rretty and sad as Rosie. the girl most injured by the evil characters. Fannie Midgley as Peggy Mcclure added much to the success of the production.
 Hearts Adrift'' is one of the most interesting melodramas seen this sea- son. It will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night. with a matinee to- morrow afternoon.

DECIDED FALLING OF
Says MT. Mellen in General Railroad
 Business.

Says MT. Mellen in General Rallroaa
 Business.
 President Mellen of the Consolidated read says in an interview printed in vesterday's New York Herald that con- ditions which confronted the road called sor immediate action in the line or re- trenchment Business had fallen or. He waited to see if it would not ln- rroye when the severe weather let up, but it did not. He was therefore forced to reduce the expenses by the discharge of employees where they could be spared, and by holding up work that had been recommended. Every exertion was made to make the burden, owing to the dis charge of employees, as light as possi- ble. For this reason chiefly the hours of labor were shortened so that a less number of discharges should occur.
 As to the condition of business gen. orally throughout the country there was a falling off of volume and stag nation.
 'It has been my idea in reductions made that the accommodations fur nished to the public should be affected last, and it is only the fact that the re- ceipts of the road are still considerably reduced as compared with last year, that ! am comoelled to resort to the second step in making reductions, which is the curtailment of the com panys passenger service. No trains have been taken off that could be con- strued as profitable; none have been taken off that did not after a careful investigation show positive loss.'
 ''Is there any connection between these alleged necessities from a railroad point of view and the general alleged slump in business throughout New England from a commercial point of view?'
 ''There is every connection. The slump in business is not only alleged, it is a. fact. Without it there would have been no necessity for the reduc- tions They have necessarily followed the slump
 Mir Mellen further said:
 s'It is claimed the principle involved in the Northern Securities case worked to it's legitimate conclusion would have < resulted ina combination of all the rail- roads Of this country into one holding company. controlled by a very few in- dividuals. Should such have resulted, government control and ownership would have ensued, and such could not fail to be deplorable, politically and financially."a
 "Are railroad conditions in New Eng land demanding new adjustment of the relation of employer and employe? I refer to through runs by train crews"
 "The business conditions in New England, as elsewhere, are always de- mandfng .readjustment of relations be- tween employer and employe
 T do not find conditions here substan- italy different from elsewhere. I have no prejudice whatever against organ ized labor and have found such leaders and committees Of the same as I have come in contact with as rule, reason able and fair, partisan, of course, but in the end willing to do what is right, always striving for little more, but generally yielding when convinced.

AGENT MADE BREAK.
Thought Lady Was a Mulatto and Road Must Pay for Her
 Injured. Feelings.

{. Senator M. P. Huddleston of Paragould tells of an interesting case which recently emerged from the courts, says the Little Rock Gazette.
 The suit was against the Iron Mountain railroad and the plain tiff was a highly respected young woman who lives in Greene county. She is of the brunette type, dark complexioned, and this circumstance gave rise to the litigation.
 The young woman was in the waiting room for white people at the Iron Mountain station at Knobel awaiting a train. The railroad agent made the mistake of thinking she was a mulatto and demanded that she go into the negro waiting room. The young woman indignantly re- fused to comply with the demand and a we'll known citizen who was present and who was ac- quainted with her stood as her protector against any further in- sistence on the part of the rail- road agent.
 The young woman brought suit against the railroad for damages by the wounding of her feelings. In the Greene circuit court she was given judgment in the sum of $25O. The railroad appealed to the supreme court and that tribunal affirmed the judgment, hence the railroad will now have fpay for the mistake of it's agent.
 The young woman has since l2a~ried and still resides in north
 last Arkansas. The iUig ltion is
 b rare, the basic incident being
 f so infrequent occurrence that ne course of the proceeding in he courts has been watched with uch interest in that section of ! e state.
