BANKRUPTCY HEARING coNTIN-
 IIEIl


 BANKRUPTCY HEARING CoNTIN-
 LIED.
 The adjourned hearing on the appli- cationNof A. Maxcy Hitler for possession of the premises occupied by William J. Adams was held before Referee Newton yesterday. Trustee Seaman testified that to remove the fixtures of the place, as would have to be done in case the court should order his client to vacate, would greatly depreciate their sale value. All the rest of the testimony was relative to the lease and the conditions under which 1t has been carried out and also the dispossessing of the tenant by the landlord.
 The two attorneys enlivened the mornings session by calling each other to order at various stages and while their comments at times grew a trifie personal there was noting for the court to call them to order for as on the first day of the case. Arguments were made. SUPREME COURT HERE TO-DAY. l Chief Justice Torrance and his asso- ciates of the supreme court will assem- hle here to-day to consider the matter of the complaint of Henry T. Blake, president of the Park commission. He claims that the secret election law is unconstitutional. The court will be convened at 10 o'clock. 1t Is expected. Attorney General William A. King will appear to represent the state and the interests of MT. Blake will be in the hands of George D. Watrous, of the firm of Watrous & Day, though MT. Blake has prepared his own brief. Frederick H. Brethauer, the town clerk, and Moderator Mason will be the chief witnesses. MT. Brethauer will bring to the court the ballot box that lcontained the alleged illegitimate bal lot and 1t will probably be reopened. Judge G. w. Wheeler has prepared the I findings of fact in the case
 AGAINST NASHVILLE LICENSE. ] Claiming that the police protection in l Westville is insufficient to warrant the establishment of another saloon in that section of the city, John M. Griest and a score of other residents appealed yes terday to Judge Gager in the superior court to revoke the action of the county commissioners in granting a license to Jaul Westerdoff for the Westvllle hotel in the ground that the commissioners had acted illegally in granting a license to hotel where there was insufficient police protection, in strictly residen- tial district and to Ia place avowedly established to cater to residents of neighboring, non-licsnse places Beth lany and woodbridge.
 Opposing the progress of the hearing Attorneys Kleiner and Zacher argued that the case could only come up under questions of law. This was finally so decided.

DAViTT SCORED FOR HIS CEN.
SURE OF AMERicANs-cLoS-
ING NEW YORK THEATERs.


NEW YORK, Feb. .2T.-If ignorant
or u~neducated persons display fanat-
icigm or prejudice there is some ex-
cuse for their narrow-minded limita-
tion. Fanatical prejudice in a person
of education is inexcusable. II the re-
mark accredited to Michael Davitt,
the Irish patriot and member of par
Lament, In an interview published on
the day of his arrival in New York,
were really made by him and were
meant seriously, not as a mere joke,
they are apt to lower him greatly In
the estimation of an intelligent pub
lie. According to the story published,
Mr.. Davitt expressed himself in sym
pathy with the Russians in the pres
ent fight with Japan, When he was
asked how he could reconcile that ex-
preston with the scathing eondemna
ton Of the Russians and of Russia in
his articles on the Kishinef affair,
Mr.. Dayitt, Sd it is reported, said that
he had changed his mind since then.
He admitted that he had done SO be-
cause Russia is now an enemy Of Eng
land, and the enemies Of England
were, naturally, his friends. That
may be an Irish hod carriers logic,
but it is unworthy Of an educated
man in a quasi public position.
Herr Heinrich C%onried, the success
or Of Maurice Grau as manager OF the
Metropolitan Opera company, has
shown himself even a better manager
than his most enthusiastic friends had
expected. The success Of the operat-
ic season at the Metropolitan under
his management has been phenome-
nal. Mr.. Conried has every reason
to be proud Of his achievements. es-
pecially Of the fact that, In spite Of
the bitter opposition and the ungener-
Gus ~vituperations by a certain clique,
he made a glorious success Of his
Parsifal productions, glorious from
an artistic as well as from a financial
point of view. The two last Parsifal
performances yielded about $3S,000.
How remarkable the success Of the
present season has been, may be in
ferred from the fact that the receipts
for one week Of eight days. including
two Parsifal performances, exceeded
one hundred thousand dollars.
The strictness and energy with
which Mayor Mcclellan has under
taken the task of protecting the lives
of theater patrons in NewYork, by
closing every house which In any re-
spect violates the regulations and
laws concerning the construction Of
the theaters, will probably lead to the
permanent closing OF several houses In
this city. II is quite probable that
the Madison Square theater. belong
ing to the shubert Brothers, viii be
one or the houses that will not be re-
opened. The reason is that the
changes required to make the con
~struction OF the theater comply with
the laws would cost 50 much that 1t
will be cheaper TO build an entirely
new theater. It is expected that the
Shuberl Brothers will not be in a
hurry 70 rebuild, and II ii generally
believed that they will wait until the
conditions in the theatrical world are

tory than they are now.

Darlington is to be honored with
two performances by Hi Henry's
Famous Minstrels on Saturday,

is one of the most successful ever
known in minstrelsy. 1t has played
the leading houses of all the larger
cities. They opened their season IN
New York City and was heartily in
endorsed by public and press as the
leaders in their line. It's friends and
patrons reach from ocean to ocean
and it's name is familiar by-word
in a million American homes. Its
reliabIlities are appreciated, its
merits recognized, it's quality estab-
lished and it's success is a tribute to
a management that has grown gray
caring for It's patrons.
This attraction seldom plays the
smaller cities, occasionally having
an open date between the larger
cities, caused by canceling poor
town, which was the case here. Our
hustling manager, Walter McGary,
hearing of the date being open i'm
,,,adia+alxv communicated with Mr.
Henry and by extraordinary induce
ment secured the date. Make no

James R. Rash.

The editor of the con Dit"
column of fridays Courier Jour-
nal grows facetious in regard to
Mr.. j. r. Rash of our city.
Jas. r. Rash, a coal miner of
Darlington, yesterday displayed
a small clump of shamrock which
had been sent from Erin's native
soil. He is a loyal son of the
Emerald Isle himself, and spoke
with feeling of the hardy, but
fragile plant. "The story of the
shamrock is new one to me-"
he SAID. 81 heard it only today,
but 1t is beautiful just the same.
1t is said that ST. Patrick during
his preachings in Ireland at one
time wished a homely but forci-
BILE illustration of the doctrine of
the Trinity which he was preach
ing. Seeing sprig of shamrock
he plucked it and held it in full
viev of his hearers. Here he
said, you have the three in one
the Father, Son and Holy Spir-
it, That was the incident which
made st. Patrick the patron
saint of the shamrock, as he is
also of the entire IRISH people,"

ger, State Revenue Agent Frank
A. Lucas says that he will ignore
the communication he received
several days ago, and will pro
coed to prosecute his suits against
the banks over the State for back
taxes. Mr.. Lucas claims that the
Auditor is in no way responsible
for the suits, as he gets his au-
thority from the statutes, and
not from the Auditor. He claims
that nowhere IN the law is the
Auditor given the power to di-
rect his action in the collection

TROUBLE.
Pastor Entered Through a Win.
dow and Opened Door
With Poker.
SALOON Q JEsrloN CAUSE OF TROUBLE.

At the East Meade Baptist
church, Louisville, Sunday morn
ing the pastor, Rev. Chas. Leon
ard, with the assistance of de-
tachment of police, a small boy
and a poker effected an entrance
into and gained possession of the
church building, where he pro.
ceeded to hold services. A fac
ton of the congregation who
have come to be called the Glib
erals" had held possession of the
church building and refused to
permit the pastor to enter. The
pastor is the head of the other
faction, known now as the San
ti-saloonists," and the trouble is
said to have arisen out of the
strenuous opposition of the pas
tor to the location of a saloon
near the church. The opposition
allege there is more in the scrap
than the PASTORS fight against
the saloon and even assail the
methods used by the minister in
his secret service tactics while
he was making that fight.
Sunday morning the police
were on hand to prevent trouble.
A small boy on the shoulder of a
blue coat broke out a cracked
window glass and unlocked the
window. The Rev. Leonard en-
tered the window and opened the
barricaded door by the aid of a
poker. He then held Sunday
school and afterwards preached
and for the day was in the sad
die. Threats are made to take
the matter into the courts and
there is so much bad blood in
evidence, according to reports
published, that a reconciliation
of the factions seems a very re-
mote possibility.
