NEW CASTLE. Oct. 2s.-onlcer Mat
thew Tobin had two busy days chasing al
legged speak-easies. After a long vigil he
found william Myers, colored, about to
deliver pint OF whiskey to Michael
Bishop. Myers some hours later com
fcssed TO ahe whole affair and accused
John Blake and william Laily Of being
his partners.
Because Of the presence OF many intoxi-
Gated men on the streets on Sundays, the
officers decided TO keep "A special watch.
They saw Myers about to give pint OF
liquor to Bishop. when they grabbed him
by the coat collar. Bishop was taken as
witness, and he testified before Mayor
Royd that he had purchased whiskey on
several occasions, and Mayor Boyd held
Myers In $500 bail for court
Implicated Others.
It was a case OF where misery loves
companions, for Myers "squealed" Ho
made a statement that John Wade had
been mis- partner and that while Wade
bought "the wet goods" Myers took or
ders and delivered the stun. But the
partners did not agree very long, and af-
ter they disagreed Myers and Lally be-
came partners. Wade and Lally were
arrested and before Mayor Boyd they de-
MED all knowledge OF the sale Of liquor
never had been partners with Myers, and
never received any money from the sale
Of the liquor. They were each held in $500
bail. however, for their appearance at
court In all probability more arrests will
be made. as there are several speak-easies
doing a thriving business here.

Before while Frisco Burns" was
launched last August, it was well
understood from a scenic standpoint It
would be n great thing. The wonder
ful success attained by the author,
Lincoln J. Carter. in the play that just
preceded II. 'Bedfords Hope" in its
presentation in New York, at the
Fourteenth Street Theatre. where It
ran for ten consecutive weeks to phe-
nomenal receipts, breaking all records
for melo-drama in that tickle city es-
tablished that fact, for Mr. Carter
tries with each subsequent play he
writes, to outdo all previous efforts.
That he has done this with the latter
play goes without saying while
Frisco Burns" opened for its premiere
at Mr.. Carter's Criterion Theatre. in
Chicago, and took hold on the public
so strongly that throngs were turned
away at each and every performance.
The press critics were lavish in praise
of both the story and the marvellous
scenic effects, while the cast came in
for It's share Of commendation. In his
play. the author has used the destruc-
ton Of San Francisco by quake aud
fire for the framework OF the story. and
the reader win readily see the great
opportunity therein given for a clever
stage production. The play will be
given here on October 29 30 and 81 al
the Lyceum with the entire original
company and the great quantity OF
marvellous scenic effects and properties.

Although the humber has decreased slightly still there are fifteen teachers employed at khe night school sessions and Principal Kirkpatrick of the Croft school. who has charge of the night department, land Superintendent Tinker are much pleased with the work done this year. |The commercial and mechanical draw ling departments are proving most pop |ular. They have q goodly number of Foreigners who are very regular in at Tendance and are most studious. When school opened there were forty-five Italians present and only eight have dropped some of these being compelled Ito stop on account of working nights. The High school department, under |the direction of Messrs Platt and Con |don, is also well attended, as is the |frec hand drawing. The appropriation
 for the night schools is none too large,
 however. and those interested in this
 work would like to SC a larger sum

ST. PETERSBURG, October ia step
of great Importance has been taken by the
cabinet, in connection with the land re-
forms, by granting permission to break up
and sell entail ed estates, If approved by the
agrarian commissions. Some of these en-
tailed estates embrace many thousands OF
acres. The cabinets decision is that these
estates may only be sold to the peasantry
in their neighborhood, and that the proceeds
must be deposited. inalienable capital, in
the state banks, thereby killing two birds
with one stone.
The governments program for relieving
the land hunger of the peasants is working
with fair success. In addition to the crown
and state lands forming the bulk of the
land fund the Peasants Bank already has
purchased for distribution to the peasants
5.352. 600 acres at price per acre which is
well within the ability of the peasants to
pay and is receiving tenders for 125.OOO
acres weekly The prices demanded by the
proprietors are diminishing.

that the program of re-nominating the
present officials would be carried through
without any dissention.
In speech of acceptance Gov Utter
said he was in favor of placing upon the
chief executive greater personal response
bility for appointment to office by removing
some of the present restrictions to his exer-
else of that power, and also of giving
him the veto power. He also favored the
conservative revision of the state conSti-
tuition or the adoption of amendments to
several of its provisions. so that it may
meet more fairly the changed conditions
of this generation.

dore Roosevelt. We express our unqualified
