SPLENDID PERFORMANCE
THE ooNNELLY 6 HATFIELD MIN.
STRELS GREETED BY A GOOD
AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT.

The Donnelly & Hatfield Minstrels
made their initial appearance in this
city at the Grand Opera House last
night. This is the first season for
this organization and it is starting out
to make reputation that will insure
its success. 1t is under the personal
direction of AL. G. Field, and the com.
pany includes several of the favorites
who helped to make the AL. G.. Field
Minstrels popular.
The first part was magnificently set
and the work on the ends by Tommy
Donnelly, Lee Almonds and Arthur
Crawford was very entrtaining and
amusing. Their jokes were made
doubly pointed by the manner in
which they were brought out by Har.
ry c. Skunk, as interlocutor, who was
pronounced by all as the best mid.
die" ever seen on the local stage.
Many were disappointed that he did
not occupy his old place on the end,
but his work was so we'll done in the
center that his admirers were con.
tent. The whole of the first part was
very creditable, and its finale-"Meet.
ing Of the Trustees"-in which a col.
ored person and several deacons en-.
gagged in an animated game OF
craps" was greetd with much ap.
plause.
The olio was very good, the double
monologue by Tommy Donnelly and
Harry Skunk being its best feature.
1t was in this act that Shunk's friends
had an opportunity to see him at home
again in burnt cork. The double
monologue is quite a novelty and put
on by artists Of the Donnelly.Shunli
type, 1t was an innovation that was
especially pleasing.
The Tuscano Bros. in their Roman
Battle Axe juggling exhibition, were
very good and the Toledo Troupe Of
contortionists, with special scenic
effects were something new, and were

SMITH MURDER CASE
Jury Found Verdict Of MansIaushter
In Second Degree.

Rochester, NJ Y, June 20.-After be-
ing out but little more than an hour,
the fury in the Erwin M Smith murder
case late today brought in verdict OF
manslaughter in the second degree.
The verdict carries with 1t a maximum
penalty Of Is years Imprisonment. SEN
terce will be imposed Friday morning
Smith was indicted for the killing OF
"Firdie" Hart, his sweetheart, at Web
Bter, on July z, 1904. The girls body
was found hidden in the basement OF
the Hall Ter packing house, which the
murderer had attempted to fire the
right after the murder to conceal evil
acnce of his crime. The body. how
ever, was not found until two nights
later. Suspicion was at once directed
toward Smith, as he was admittedly re-
Bponsible for the girls delicate condi-
ton, and his arrest followed ten days
after the finding of the body.
In the event of new trial being de-
MED, the case will be carried to the
higher courts.

The army is in Manehuria and it is i'm

A recent secret treaty gave her rights

This has been the object of German

were found to be erroneous. .,p-t

placing, of the ladder in the front

Father Magonigle, chaplain of the

difficulty that was being experienced
with the extension ladder, telephoned

BULLET WAS FOUND
IN MANS BUNDLE
AND PROBABLY SAVED THE LIFE
OF THE CARRIER.
It Had Been Shot Through Stark
Electric Car Window and Spent
Its Force in Dry Goods
Package.

Monday evening when the car of the
Stark Electric road had reached point
midway between Beloit and Sebring a
rifle ball crashed through one Of the
car windows. 1t came without the re-
port of a gun being heard, but the
heavy glass window showed the round
hole made by the bullet, and the brok-
en- glass was hurled across the car. l..
Nj. Baker of Beloit was sitting in the
seat where the ball entered the window
but despite a diligent search the bull
let could not be found.
Mr.. Baker carried package of dry
goods in his arm and after taking these
home and opening the package the bull
let fell to the floor. 1t had penetrated
the goods until it had spent its power
and remained there No doubt this un-
known amulet, saved Mr.. Baker a Sc

known whether the shot came from a
distance and by accident or from a

he was not prepared to forecast tho

he was willing to be quoted as saying
that the strike will be off by next

Thomas Hughes, president of the

sensational statements to the states

that at two different times, two prom.

ATHLETIC FESTIVAL
opens at Indianapolis With an Orig
inai Play.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 20.-The
North American Gymnastic Unions
athletic festival opened in this city to-
night with the presentation of the fes-
tival play, "The Glorious Three" The
play is by Conrad Mics of st. Louis
and is likely to be one of the notable
German theatrical successes Of this
country. Mr.. Mes is in Europe. but
his wife occupied a box, the guest of
tie German turner's of this city.
Mr.. Mes is not a playwright, but a
poet and teacher. His play was select
cd in a contest in which nine other
writer's took part. The stage pictures
were so clear that one does not have
to understand German to enjoy the
performance. A simple plot threads
itself through the acts. 1t tells the
stcry of Athos, youthful dreamer
who seeks the road to happiness. The
gun god grants the wishes of the youth,
and Athos chooses Strength to lead
him through life. But along the way
he comes upon Grace, is fascinated by
her, and discards Strength. Grace is
lacking in some of the elements of
happiness when he compares her to
Columbia, the representative of free
com, and he takes the hand of Column
bin, who leads him to liberty and con-
tent of mind.
There we're numerous beautiful tab
leauX.
Delegations from cities all over the
country are arriving by every train.
Each delegation is met with bands and
marching men, and escorted through
the city.
