AN UNUSUALLY
GOOD PERFORMANCE

Isle of Spice" which made its
second appearance at the Elks' OPP
era House in this city last night drew
an extraordinarily large audience,
and more appreciative one never
assembled in the play house. THE
Piquant Musical Mixture" can
truthfully be said TO be success
from start to finish, there not being
an idle moment from the rise of
the curtain to the beautiful finale.
An abundance of pretty girls, clad
in magnificent costumes, and as
sisted by talented male performers
make the performance one of the
very best that has yet visited this
city. An analysis of the play would
be interesting but one has to see il
to appreciate its beauty and excel
lence.

COURTS GAINS M
Must Surrender Possession of Summer
Home at Seabright.

TRENTON, Dec. 22:-In the
court of errors and appeals here yes
terday an opinion from the United
States supreme court was filed, re-
curing David Lamar to surrender
possession of his summer home at
Seabright TO Albert G..Spalding, who
purchased it in 1904 from Bernard
Smith, the owner, under foreclosure
proceedings, the price being $75,100.
Smith refused to give possession and
Spalding appealed to the court of
chancery. Then Lamar, who held a
five years lease, began litigation to
retain possession as a tenant. He
lost in chancery and carried the case
to the court of errors, where he also
lost. He then appealed to the United
States supreme court on the ground
that the court of errors decision was
unconstitutional.

he wanted to go home to his mother,
the child was found sitting on the
| curb at R%ockaway and st. Mark S
| avenues, Brooklyn, at ten O'Clock, but
ii was not until five hours later,
| then only through the astuteness OF
the matron of the Brooklyn Child
ren's Society, that the police learned
that the kidnapped boy for whom
5000 men have been searching had
been found. The boy, who spent more
than an hour in the Liberty avenue
police station, is v and evident
ly received little food from his kid
napper. So far he has been unable
Ito tell the police where he was dur
ing the past ten days, but it is eX-
pected that Detective Sergeant Petro-
sine will be able to get a statement
from him after he has had a little
rest and has recovered from mental
disturbance.
AS Policeman Redmond, of the
Liberty venue police station, was
last night nearing the I of Rock
away and st. Marks he saw
a little boy sitting on the curb. AS
it was late for a child to be out alone
the policeman went over to him. AS
he drew near he heard the child's
plaintive sobs. Redmond spoke to
him and asked where he was going.

OPEN SKAT ING
RINK MONDAY NIGHT
'shing Work on Pratt Building at
al New Brunswick Avenue
and jefferson Street.

w. B. Pratt said this morning that,
ii possible, the roller skating rink
would be opened Monday night. The
work in the building is being rushed
by a score of workmen and every
effort will be made TO have the rink
ready for Christmas. The interior of
the rink is covered with metal work
and / syet to be painted. The flooring
is being completed today and with the
exception of only a few details, the
large hall is ready for the opening.
The entrance to the rink is on New
Brunswick avenue, although large
doors are in place on the Jefferson
street side of the building. The floor
is made of maple and, when complet-
ed, will have the largest area of any
hall in the city, about 5000 square
feet OF floor space being in evidence.
II was learned from good authority
this morning that the building would
be used as a rink only this winter,
and in the spring will be turned into
a vaudeville house.
Mr.. Pratt said he has not as yet
decided Just what the prices for adj
mission would be, but thought that
thirty-five cents would probably be
the cost for admission and skates, al
though spectators will be admitted

PATRICK Not
YET SATISFIED
His Principle Is Liberty or Death
Begins His Life Work in
Sing Sing Prison.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22:-"Liberty
or death" is apparently the tenor Of a
document which Albert T. Patrick,
the convicted murderer of William
Marsh Rice, handed to Warden john
son of Sing Sing prison when he no.
tilted hte prisoner that G~overnor
Higgins had committed his sentence
to life Imprisonment.
Patrick, despite his protest OF
wishing either to receive a pardon or
suffer the penalty for the crime OF
which he has been convicted, begins
today working in the door and sash
factory of the prison. He is a lum-
Der carrier, but later he may be Civ
en- a clerical position or put in some
other factory to learn a trade.
When the warden told Patrick he
vas not to be eleetrocuted but inn
prisoned for life. the convicted man
handed him the following statement
which he had prepared:
please take notice that I reject
the warrant OF the governor of the
state of New York. now in YOUR.
hands, committing my death sentence
to imprisonment for life, and that /
refuse to accept or take any benefit
under the same, and that I protest
against the execution thereof, upon
the ground that said warrant of the
governor, as well as the judgment
of conviction upon which it is found
ed, is contrary to law and void"
Although the official notification
of the Communication of the death SEN
tence was received by Warden John
son at noon, Patrick was not told of
its receipt until half-past three
O'Clock. The prisoner was released
from the big steel cage and led to
the clerks Office, where he was sub
jected to practically the same treat
ment that new corners undergo.

the engineer slowed up going through the
yards on account of the bridge work going
on at the west end of the switch, and later
attempted to pull up his long train, a draw
head pulled out also severing the air con-
nections. The train parted and the air set
the brakes on the rear part so suddenly
that about half way back the empty stock
cars shut up like jackknife and fell over
to one side against some boarding cars
just west of the depot. Fortunately no one
was in the cars at the time or there might
have been a serious accident No extensive
damage was done and the track was cleared
in time TO permit the regular trains to
