Maud Muller on a summers day,

Then the Judge, whoever he was,
came riding BY, and became deeply i'm
pressed with the simple beauty and rus
tic health which glowed beneath the
girls torn hat. Nevertheless, he rode
on, n never again saw the pretty lit
tie haymaker. That is the poem, and
1T is, as we know, touching and beauti-
u and heart-reaching. But it is not a
play. Now at one of those corn-husk-

Homes, Judge Wayne meets Maud,
the charming daughter of Farmer
Muller, falls in love with her, has her

Gen. Lew Wallace Dead.

Gen. Lew Wallace died at his home
in Charlottesville, Ind, February 18th,
aged 70 years. General Wallace was a
soldier, diplomat and author but it is as
author he is best known.
He was a soldier in the Mexican War,
likewise during the War between the
States. He was Governor of Utah '78-
81 and Minister to Turkey 1881-S5. His
most successful book is "Ben Hur, a
Tale of the Christ"

disgust of his naughty sister, Theodore.
Things said by the latter make the
young wife suppose her grand husband
is ashamed of his rustic bride, and she
fees from him and takes refuge with
old friends in Boston, and later in the
Maine woods. Her desertion, and in
his vain efforts to trace her, breaks
the health of her husband, and in the
Hem?!ock woods of Maine he seeks rest
and restoration. There, of course, the
estranged couple %accidently encounter.
What follows can best be learned from
the comedy in bright humor and gen
uine heart interest. The role of Nate
Harpin, the backwoods poet, is perhaps
the strongest comedy character upon
the stage. AT Opera House, Friday,

HEAVY PENALTY IMPOSED.
Keeper of an Alexandria County
Speak Easy Fined and Imprisoned.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va May 24.-That the law officers
of Alexandria county, Va, intend to deal
in the most stringent manner with the vio-
lators of the liquor law In the county IS
evidenced by the action of Magistrate Bur-
rell. who sentenced Thomas Wise to twelve
months in Jail and to pay fine of $500 for !
running a speakeasy.
The action of Magistrate Burreli verihes
the assertion made by States Attorney
Crandal Mackey at the time Judge Nicol
OF the circuit court declined to approve the
applications for license Of any saloonkeeper |
in the county Mr.. Mackey made the state
ment in open court, and subsequently re-
heated 1t to a Star reporter, that every
man or woman found within the limits OF
the county selling liquor would not only be
made to pay the highest fine permitted by
law. but would also be compelled to take
a jail sentence to the limit of the law.
The announcement that such policy
would be observed by the county officials
caused some uneasiness among the saloon
keepers in the county but did not prevent
Wise and his associates from defying the
law and starting a speakeasy In that sec
ton of the county known as Hell Bot
TOM
1t was not long before the fact that
liquor was being sold reached the ears or
the county officials, and Sunday morn
ing Constable Howard b. Fields, with
DEPUTIES Collins and Cornell. raided thea
Wise establishment and captured It's en-
tire outfit. Lizzie Thomas was the oniyi
person found on the premises. WISE nav
ing made his escape at the approach OK
the officers. ~
The woman was taken to the county jail
and Wise surrendered himself shortly are
terward. The prisoners were arraigned PEE
fore Magistrate Burrell Monday evening.
states Attorney Mackey conducted the
prosecution Wise was fined $500 ana sen.
fenced to a year. lacking a day, In JAIL ana
the woman was fined 500 and sentenced
to six months In jail. IL
This IS the second case of Illicit nQuorl
selling in the county that has come 10 the
attention of the authorities since the Wp-
ing out of the saloons. and the vigorous
manner in which they have been dealS
with has given an idea of the manner ~
which similar cases are to be treated. Rests
dents of the county congratulate themf
selves that the county officers have been
inspired to such energy in such cause
and many commendatory comments hayS
been made. u
