corner and the final smash. 1t is the
story of the development of wo

From the reports received here in
relation to Gay New York, there are
good and sufficient reasons TO under
stand why the appearance at the Gen
nett next Tuesday night, of this mu
steal comedy, is being looked forward
to with special satisfaction. Among
the great variety of compliments paid
to the production as a whole, a large
measure of the praise is given to its
plot pretensions and to the very for
IA; dable organization employed in its
rollicking Interpretation, consisting
in the main of as clever an assert
ment of comedians as were ever en-
gagged for q similar purpose.

"The Volunteer Oruanist"-Ge

"The volunteer GanlSt-Cennett.
The oft discussed topic among the
theatrical managers as TO the value
and drawing power of a title, came
up the other evening among a party
of managers. 1t was admitted by all
that in the title of his new produc-
ton, The Volunteer Organist," Mr..
Newcomer, the owner, has a gold
mine, even though the piece itself
might not be considered of any value
whatever, which happily, is just the
reverse of the actual state of affairs.
1t was conceded by the gentlemen as
sembled that the title of Mr.. New
comer's proerty undoubtedly attracts
many and many dollar to the box
office of every theater in which the at
traction appears, because there is that
in the title that tells readers that
something of a novel and higher or
der awaits them. 1t will be seen
here on next Monday evening at the
Gennett.

THE TRAIN MISSER.

OF all exasperated men
That happen every day
And sip the cup of sorrow when
They fail to get their way
No doubt the maddest of them Is
The one who rushed In vain
And only caught the parting whix
OF his departing train.
The morning air
Is full of swear
And other things profane.
All put there by
The sorry guy
Who missed the only train.
He rises with the morning light
And leisureiy proceeds
To set his household all Alright
II his attention needs.
He gives advice with manner grand
His brain aches with the strain
And then he waves q parting hand
And starts-to miss his train.
The blame is piled
On wife and child
He raises merry CAIN
For didn't they
The game delay
And make him miss the train?

There was another short argument
before Judge Bradford in the United
States Court yesterday afternoon. on the
motion of Willard salisbury. Of counsel
for John NJ Rogers. charged with ship
ping lottery tickets from the State, for
the quashing of the warrant under which
I Mr. Rogers plant was searched. District
Attorney Nields read the following return
OF the marshal of what was taken from
Mr. Rogers plant.
Inventory of property seized from the
John NJ Rogers Press, Wilmington, Del
May lst and I'd, 1906:
EIwenty-three form books for compiling
numbers on lottery tickets.
81 Six packages of form sheets unbound
FOR compiling numbers on lottery tickets
Two packages of ballots, one package
uncut. the other package cut. used in
deciding the winning numbers of prizes
in a lottery.
Six rolls Of paper, each containing lot
terry tickets.
About 100 sheets, partly finished lot
terry tickets, same being taken from
lot consisting of over one ton of partly
printed lottery tickets, seme OF which
were being printed Az the time of seizure.
One bundle of brokers memorandum
of Louisiana State Lottery Co.
Twelve numbering plates for printing
numbers on lottery tickets.
One box OF form sheets. unbound. for
compiling numbers on lottery tickets.
Fourteen books containing lottery
tickets.
One bundle Of lottery advertisements.
Judge Bradford said there was nothing
in the return TO show that tickets had
said IL was no offence to carry the tickets
from Dover TO Wilmington or from VIII
mington to Dover. He added that he
desired more time TO decide such a grave
matter and there will be a final argument
on the question some time next week
Willard Salisbury, of counsel for Mr..
Rogers, stated this morning that de-
mand will be made on Marshal Finn
every day for the return of everything
taken from his clients plant, and which
they contend has no bearing on the case.
Under the ruling of the court the marshal
is personally responsible for everything
that may have been improperly taken
under the warrant.
IL is reported that the plates seized bv
the secret service agents at the Rogers
plant are all old ones and had not been
used for years. 1t is also said that no
complete lottery tickets were ever printed
at the John NJ. Rogers Press in this city
When asked about these matters this
morning Mr.. salisbury declined to dis
ouss them.
Counsel for the defendant contend that
the return OF Marshal Finn as TO the
property seized at the Rogers plant is
misleading, as no lottery tickets were
seized.
