BURGLARIEs OCCUR
At PH|L|PP|

philippi, W. Va, Mar. 80 Burg
lars roafned at large in Phiiippi dur
ing the early morning hours Tuesday
and the result, was that the safes in
the postoffice and the Philippi Mill
ing company's office were cracked
and emptied.
The postoffice is located in the
Teter & Hall building which also
contains the opera house. The
burglars pried open the back door Of
the building, and drilled into the
safe door with brace and bit. Just
enough nitro-glycerine was applied
TO split the safe door nicely.
There was very little change in
the safe, but all the stamps were
taken, together with the registered
mail, including in the booty two
registered packages consigned TO the
Citizens National bank. These
packages probably contained a large
amount Of money; but just how
how much could not be learned. 1t
lis possible that $500 0was taken in
the registered mail.
The same methods we're pursued
in the milling company's Office, but
here only seven or eight dollars we're
found, the company making it a
practice to bank all their cash each
day.
There is no clue to the perpetra-
tors of the robberies who succeeded
in getting away without arousing the
neighborhood and without leaving
any trace. Postofiice Inspector E.
7. Allen is making an investigation.
The Moundsville bloodhounds were
sent for in the hope Of being some
assistance in tracking the men.

THE WOMAN Halter

Theatregoers who have loked for

ist will again visit our city and pre-
sent his latest success-David d.
Lloyd's S'The Woman Halter" In
this play Mr.. Beresford has receiv-
ed the highest meet of praise and has
been commended for his remarkable
versatility which, in addition 10 his
great personal magnetism, has en-
abled him to establish himself in a
position in the mimic world pecu-
liarly his own. Mr.. Beresford
brings with him a company that for
excellence has seldom been equalled
by any cast presenting comedy farces
Vt the play little need be said, save
that its many complications, its
keen wit and bright satire viii tax
the disabilities Of its beholders TO the
utmost. At the Grand Friday,

ROBIN HOOD
WELL RECEIVED.

1t is doubtful if there has been a
musical offering presented ut the
opera house that met with more en-
thusiastic approval, or gave more
genuine satisfaction to a big
audience than did the Aborn COM
pany's splendid presentation of
"Robin Hood" last night. One
thing is quite sure, this city has
never seen anything that was near
er approach to grand opera, and
probably will not again for some
time, for companies like this are
only too scarce. This attraction
came heralded as an extraordinary
event, and from the amount of adj
yertlsing that was done by the local
management, we were led to expect
a great deal. In this we were not
disappointed, but on the contrary
found even greater perfection than
was expected. Every member of
the cast was excellent-in fact it
comes close to being in 1.-THE ."all-
star" class and the chorus is a
revelation in the volume Of its
voices( besides presenting a pleasing
array of femenine comeliness.
In a company where perfection is
the rule, it is hard to specialize, but
there were four who stood out before
the rest last night, especially from
vocal standpoint. These were
Viva Brewster, a beautiful young
girl, not yet out of her teens. who
sang the prinia donna role Of Maid
Marian delightfully."-, accompanied
by an ingenious charm in her act
ling; Edward Metcalfe, whose
smooth sonorous basso, the audience
could not seem to hear enough of !;
Ethel Houston, who played the part
of Alan-a-Dale with dash and
vigor, and sang its difficult music
with a rich contralto worthy Of
grand opera, and Harold Blaef. who.
in the title role of Robin Hood,
joins all the qualities of a finished
actor with those OF an accomplished
singer and beautiful tenor voice.
The comedy-ahd there was an
abundance Of twas admirably
sustained by Stanton Heck as the
Sheriff of Nottingham. Campbell
Donald as Guy of Gisboume. Agnes
/ Stone as Dame burden. and Maurice
Hageman as Friar Tuck. Karl
Stall responded to many encores
with the. drinking song "The Brown
October Ale," and Meta Carson was
vivacious and sweet as Annabelle.
The production of scenery and cos
TUNES is elaborate, and everything
looks fresh and new. The charm
stage picture presented in the
last act especially, would be hard to
beat.
The local management has al
ready booked this attraction for a
return date here early next season
and there is no doubt that they will
pack the house on that occasion
