MISS GALLAND SCORES A HIT
DOROTHY VERNON" AT
THE COLONIAL.
Historic Scenes And Persons Are
Represented.

Paul Kester's dramatizatiop of
Charles Majors romantic novel Dor
othy Vernon of HaddoD Hall, was
presented at the Colonial Theatre last
night before a large and representa-
tive audience. The story is too we'll
known to need re-telling.
Unlike most novels that are drama
tized, this one has lost but little at
the hands of the dramatist, the best
points in the novel being emphasized
in the play. The play was well staged.
The old manor house with its scenes
of court life and its pompous person
ages of historic times, were represent
ed with pleasing effect Around its
scenic features chung an atmosphere
of long centuries ago.
Haddon Hall, desalute and ivy grown
as it is today. is one of the chief
points of interest to tourists and his
torians, and the animated scenes OF
the play were reminder to some in
the audience who had seen the origi-
nal Two of the scenes are laid in the
terrace of old Hadd6n Hall in Derby
shlre-the first and last, the second
and third being in Dorothy's room,
and the watch room of Rutland castle,
respectively. The costumes are hand
some and are elaborate and pictur-
esqne as we'll as historically correct.
It is not strange in such charming
plot full of exciting incidents in which
people of history as well as creatures
of the authors fancy play such an
important part, that Miss Bertha Gal
land should score such pronounced
success. In the title role of Dorothy
Vernon, Miss Galland has every oppor
tunity TO exhibit her talents, which
are undoubtedly of wide range. She
is the true child of deer father-the
impetuous, self wiled but loving
daughter of Sir George Vernon, mas
ter of Haddon. Her moods were as
changeable as the wind, vet she ran
the ganut of comedy, patncs and dra-
matte flights with ease and grace that
won fer her unstinted applause and
several curtain calls, a rare thing in
Annapolis.
Miss Galland is gifted with youth
and beauty, which alone are so neces
sary to the success of an actress. But
added to these she is natural and
graceful, and has evidently made a
careful study of the capricious, will
full Dorothy, the creature of moods
and temper, which character she por-
trays with the rare art of a versatile
artist Mr.. John w. Dean, as Sir
John Manners. is we'll cast, and. has
good stage presence. Perkin, a dwarf
and Jester to the Lord of Rutland. is
an artist. He does good work through
out the play, and it really pleased the
audience when he was knighted by
Mary Queen of Scots, as much as if it
had not been "only in the play.
Miss Galland has surrounded herself
with good company, and barring the
long waits between the acts and the
two rapid speaking of the lines by
some of the cast, the performance was
above unfavorable criticism.

WANT T. "A. THOMPSON
His Friends Would Have Him
AS a Candidate.

Considerable discussion was engen-
dered by the publication in the Capt.
tai exclusively of the ticket agreed
upon at the meeting of the city Re-
publican executive committee. No ad-
verse criticism of the head of the tic
ket has been heard. but there is de-
sire in some quarters TO make a change
in the candidates for council in the
Third ward.
The friends of Il. Arlington Thomp-
son have rallied to his support and are
endeavoring TO have his name substi-
tuted for that of Solomon Bolden. On
the other hand Bolden has many
friends who say they will make it in
teresting if there is any change made
in the ticket as it stands at present.
1t is claimed by the representative
members of the Republican party Of
the city that the ticket as arranged is
an excellent one.
Another name which is said to be
slated TO produce more or less discus
sion before il gets on the official ticket
is that of DR.. Charles b. Henkel.
1t is said that DR.. Henkel, as a coun-
Gilman. is disagreeable--dis
in that he is so earnest in seeing that
the affairs Of the city are properly ad-
ministered, that he doesn't care
whether re is hitting Republican or
a Democratic head in making investi-
cations. To those easy going members
of the Council who do not care for
the arduous duties of the position
which demands close scrutiny of
all measures and bills coming before
them, DIR. Henkel. when a member Of
the body, was too strenuous.
DR.. Henkel has not, as yet, stated
whether or not he would accept the
nomination. but this many friends are
aiming today that if the party wis es
to make any show of trying to get in
a good lot of aldermen they should
insist on DR.. Henkel running. The
primary fight will be a very tame
affair according to those swho are on
the inside and as far as present condi-
tions foreshadow the future ticket
will stand just as it is.

HE IS MUCH ALIVE.
Reported Drowning of Capt Lewis
Disouietinq to Friends.


Much talk was occasioned in the
city by the report that Capt. Lewis of
the auxiliary sloop Kelly had been
drowned The story was to the effect
that he had been lost overheard from
his boat in the Magothy river over a
week ago. 1t was said that a reward
was to be offered for the recovery Of
the body as every effort to recover it
thus far had been unsuccessful.
Captain Lewis, of the Kelly, who
was seen this morning ou the city
dock stated that it was base fabrica-
tion that he had been drowned. He
stated that if he had il was news TO
him. DE said he is very glad to be
alive, and is very sorry If any Captain
Lewis had been drowned. A verifi-
cation of the story that any captain
had been lost in the Magothy could not
be established, and no one could be
found who knew of Captain Lewis
whose stamping grounds included the
Magotby river.
It may be that q mistake has been
made as to the name of the man who
was lost, but the parties who came
from the Magothy district with the
story claim that there is no doubt
as to the drowning OF some man in that
neighborhood.

Not Time to Take UpReport

So engaged for the past ten days has
Rear Admiral G.. A. Converse, Chief
of the Bureau of Navigation, been in
the settlement of urgent questions,
such as the selection OF a successor to
Captain J. K. Pillsbury as Assistant
chief of the Bureau of Navigation
and other assignments, that he has not
had time to take up the report of Cap
tain W. II. Brownson, recommending
the appointment of a board to revise
the course of instruction at Annapolis
or the report of Surgeon K. S. Bogart
recommending important additions to
the athletic course at the Naval Acad-
emy. Both of these reports are in the
Bureau of Navigation and beth will
be given careful consideration at an
early date. The report of Captain
Brownson is of especial interest .and
it is practically certain that the sug
gestions it contains will be approved
and board of officers appointed.

BURNT UP IN HIS HOUSE.
George Bias, Colorcd. Meets Death
BY Fire In His Shanty
This Morning.

George Bias. colored man, was
burned TO death in an early morning
fire today. How the fire started or
what prevented the man from making
his escape is not known.
His body was burned to a crisp and
all that could be identified as being
the Eemains of human being was his
head. The house was entirely con
sumed together with the few belong.
ings which he possessed.
Brave attempts TO save his life which
were made by residents of Arnold sta.
tion, where the fire occurred, were
unsuccessful. They were ldriven back
from the burning building aud forced
60 look on while the man was slowly
burned TO death,
The fire occurred at ) O'Clock this
morning on the farm, of Prof. GLADDEN.
and was tenant house which had
been occupied but short time hv the
burned man. No one has any theory
TO advance for the cause of the fire.
excepting that the man was intoxicat-
ed and had caused fire which smold
cred all night and broke out in the
morning while he was still in a drunk
en- stupor.
When the fire was discovered this
morning the .house was wrapped in
flames and there seemed but little on
portunity of saving it. Neighbors
rushed to the scene fand through the
blazing end of the house they could
see Bias apparently asleep on his bed
They cried 20 him 60 make his escape.
but he Jailed To hear them or else,
hearing them paid no attention. Then
several men attempted to enter, the
house and had got in a considerable
distance, but were forced back by the
great heat and heavy smoke.
Bias made no move after be was dis.
covered and in a very few minutes
the watchers saw the flames wrap him
in their embrace and shut him from
sight. As soon as the ruins of the en-
tirely destroyed building had cooled
sufficiently searchers found the head
of the man. The trunk aud limbs
were entirely destroyed and if there
had been any foul play there were nc
means of verifying the fact. Bias was
90 years of age and was not supposed
to be married. he had been employ
ed by various persons in that part of
the county, but his love for strong
drink had made it rather difficult for
him TO secure employment with any
degree of regularity.
