eras Of modern production. Not only
in the superiority Of its taking melody
but in its brilliant and capable inter.

of leading singers, its wonderfully at.
tractive chorus including many pretty
maidens, hundreds of new and costly
costumes designed and made expressly
for this production, its artistic scenic
effects, its taking lyrics and its inter.

orchestra under the leadership Of the
well known director, Samuel L. Stud
ley. The production which in it's en-.
tirety met with such unanimous success
last season, will have even more elab-
oration this year. The music is the
most ambitious composed by Reginald
De Koven since "Robin Hood" and
includes in its brilliant Offering many
catchy, light musical gems and several
melodic numbers reminiscent Of grand
opera. The lyrics by Charles Emerson
Cook, contain exceptionally clever
verses, including the choral prelude,

Otto Mower, Of doubtful origin, ar
rived IN the city yesterday. In the
course Of his wanderings around town
he fell in with Chief Of Police Cornell

by the extraordinary appearance he
presented. After "A brief interview in
respect to his business in the city, and
failing to give any satisfactory explain

chief 10 accompany him 10 the city

This morning he was brought before

he happened 10 be In the city, and In
fact all his statements were not such as
TO impress one with his mental sound
ness. One of them being to the effect
that ne had stopped in Spokane one
day, and had worked in sawmill two
weeks while there. An examination
Of his person revealed the fact that he
did not intend TO suffer from the cold,
having the following named articles Of
clothing on, viz, three shirts, two pairs
Of pants, one vest, two coats, a pair Of
heavy wooden gloves and four other
pairs Of gloves and mittens in his nu'
merous pockets. Besides this he carried
four or Ave pocket knives, matches, eig-
arctic papers cigar stubs and countless
other possessions Of like value. Be-
ing satisfied that the fellow was harm
less, Judge Moores allowed him to de-
part IN peace, after he had rid himself
Of some Of the worthless paraphernalia
he carried. He was about so years Of
age, and halls from Nebraska.
"You are charged with resisting an
officer aud using abusive language.

Judge MoOres looked sternly at the
eulprit standing uneasily before him
in the police court this morning, and
waited for an explanation. Sam Tay-
lor looked at the ceiling, then at the
floor and finally, after due delibeTation,
said he was unable to recall the cir

a harvest hand cOnfesses the murder OF
a young women in Ohio thirty-one years
ago, for which an innocent man later
was executed. 1t is presumed that Her
zig has committed suicide, although a
search for his body has been futile. In
the letter he explains that he was the
slayer of Lizzie Grombacker, in the early
'70s, when she was living near Youngs-

a tramp, was convicted on circumstan-

He says he can endure the wretched life
no longer and is about to shoot himself.
The murder of Lizzie Grombacker occur

ling maintained his innocence to the end.
The crime caused intense excitement

about II years old and beautiful. She
was found in the bushes between Youngs-

MENAcING FOREST FIRES.
They Are Burning at More Than 100
Points in Maine.

ASy tAIG dC MORE IMAM lOO
Points in Maine.
Forest fires are burning at hundred
different points in the northern Maine
woods and the situation causes renewed
apprehension lest there be serious loss.
Reports from all sections agree that the
woods were never before so dry. Only
extraordinary vigilance on the part of a
big force of fire wardens and the lack
of wind has saved the timber land own
ers from an immense loss and it is fear
ed that unless rain comes soon thou
sands of acres will be doomed.
The fires are being held in check to
some extent, but the result is in doubt.
high wind would make the efforts of
the Wardens of no avail. Enormous
tracts of land would be burned over and
hundreds of settlements menaced It is
a question of which will come first. rain
Or wind.
From the northeastern part of the
State along the line of the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad, the reports state that
the fires there have for the most part
been subdued. But they are rapidly in
creasing between the east and west
branches of the Penobscot and through
the country north of Katahdin.
1t is almost impossible to tell lust
how serious the situation is on account
of the smoke, which hangs in dense
clouds over immense territories. Condi-
tons are worse than in 1902, when thou
sands of acres as we'll as entire villages
We're wiped out.
