"ENOCH ARDEN"
At CHAUTAUQUA
BY MRS. KATHERINE OLIVER
M'CoY IN DRAMATIC STYLE
CLOSING SESSION
Resolutions Adopted by the Teach
ers-A Spirited Discussion
Followed Reading.
CLOSING SESSION

The most important event of yes
terday's Chautauqua was the appear
ance in the afternoon of Mrs. Kath-
crime Oliver Mccoy, one of the best
known dramatic readers in this coun-
try, in "Enoch Arden,' Mrs. Nc
lecture which was to be given at this
hour but on account Of the non-arriv-
al of Mr.. Stuart who came in at a
later hour. Mrs. Mccoy gave her first
reading in the afternoon instead of at
night as put down on the program.
One of the largest audiences of the
Chautauqua season greeted this ac-
complished reader and the spontan-
eous applause which interrupted her
frequently throughout the entire pre-
sentation testified to the virility of
Mrs. McCoy's talents. The enter
tainment was in two parts, the famous
poem having dramatic possibilities
which permit of such an arrangement,
so that while the reading occupied
the main portion Of the afternoon, it
gave the impression Of brevity, al
though it is one of the longest in the
repertoire of many readers. Mrs.
McCoy's mere presence gives promise
of strength of characterization rea-
lized later and in this instance, the
finals was of much greater and more
pronounced effect than expected even
by those who had previously had the
pleasure Of listening to her. The
sombre nature of this poem calls for
much emotional Interpretation and the
fine art Of Mrs. McCoy's representa-
ton was displayed in its cultivated
reticence, for it would be easy for
one, other than the thorough artist
Mrs. McCoys shows herself, to de-
scend to bathos and melodrama Mrs
Mccoy has dramatic appreciation of g
rare quality and a wonderful emotion
al appeal giving a vivid and brilliant
color to her presentation not often ap-
parent in the work of many of her
confreres. and all this fine art unit
ed with the dignified reserve Of the
true artist, makes her audience an

as suspects in the murder Of Mrs

Wales boys and others.
Relatives took a suit of clothing to
the Jail yesterday morning for Haley

allow any one to see him or to give
him anything. The attempt of Gipe to

NOT SUICIDE"
SAY FRIENDS
Believed That He Took Drug for
Headache -Mulligan Still Un-
conscious.

When the sleeping car porter shook
street, en- route from Chicago TO Rich
mond, this morning with the intent TO
waken him, Mulligan did not wake
up. The porter shook again. Multi
gan lay still. ''He's dead was the
thought of the porter and he called
the conductor. Both together could
not waken Mulligan and it was discov-
cred that during the night he had
taken dose of morphine and was in
state of coma. He was taken off
the train when it reached her this
morning and taken to the hospital,
still unconscious. The doctors, hastily
summoned, found that Mulligan had
taken an overdose of morphine and
was in very precarious condition.
Up to this noon he had not recovered
consciousness, but while the outlook
for his recovery is pretty bad. the
doctors have hopes for restoring him.
His reason for taking the drug can
not be learned until Mulligan himself
tells it. 1t is known that he is sub
ject to severe headaches, and the sup
position is that he suffered from one
of these last night and took the drug
to kill the pain, but took too large
dose. The morphine phial was found
in is berth.

SPLENDID ADDRESS
Of Booker T. Washington at Indi-
annapolis.

AT a meeting of the National Ne
gro Mems League, held at Indiana
polls, Booker 7. Washington was the
central figure The following are
some of the remarks made in refer
ence to colored people:
In beginning, DR.. Washington trac-
ed the growth of the league from its
humble beginnings four years ago.
Then he turned Immediately to the
theme of his address. The keyote of
the talk was the Importance to the
negro of the possession of property,
especially land This idea was con-
tinually forced on the listeners atten-
tion
1.-The negro must prove TO the world
that he can really do things and can
produce what the world demands.
said Mr. Washington. ''He must make
himself a factor in the financial life
of a community before he will be rec
oenized. The race is but in its begin
ming. however, and having no inherit
ed capital to fall back on, it must
make its start from the fundamental
elements, water, air and land. He
must, therefore, strive to obtain
property at any sacrifice. The negro
who pays his taxes on property. or
the one who can produce products
that the world needs, need not fear
that the color line will be drawn to an
objectionable extent.
The negro has not yet arrived at
