"How Baxter Butted In..

The story of How Baxter Butted In." Vance & Sullivan Company's new pro- duction of owen Davis's comedy mel odrama. is complete and dramatic It Is the claim of the management that How Baxter Butted In appeals not only 10 lovers of good high class mel odrama, but to those who enjoy breezy comedy entertainments:
 Baxter Is commercial traveler Who In course of business drifts into country hotel in a little town in Yer mont In this hotel he meets young girl the niece of the tight-fsted old miser who owns the place. This girl. who is acused of theft. Is turned out of doors and publicly dlsgraced before the whole village. This is where Bax- ter butts in and he butts in to such good purpose that the girl Is restored to her former place in the esteem of her nelghbors and the persons who have eonnived and plotted against them are caught and punished. Baxters victory over this young girls enemies is only won after many exciting adventures. and before his final success he has quite captured the hearts of all the young people of the town. .- .:~@..--
 The part of Baxter Is most com plex character study and demands an actor who is equally at home in strong dramatic scnees and In comedy. At one moment Baxter IS ueHohnclhB the villain or defending the girl he has grown to love, and at the next he Is graphically describing a series of i'm possible adventures, or playing tricks upon the pretty village girls Tn se- curing for this difficult part sidney Toler, the management was fortunate. as Mr. Toler Is widely experienced and well known leading man.
 The attraction will appear at the Riiou Thursday, Friday and Saturday with Saturday matinee.

 How Baxter Butter In" created a
 decidedly favorable impression in Mont gomery last year. MT. Toler Is . ca
 pablo comedian of distinctly original | methods. way"
 George M. Conan. who is now con- ceded to be one of the most popular and successful of all American play
 wrights. has done much of late to con- firm this conviction. No play from
 his pen has more firmly clinched his
 popularity than Forty Five Minutes From Broadway" which enjoyed remarkably successful run last season of an entire year divided between New York and Chicago. It is now making short road tour under the direction
 or klaw and Erlanger with a special
 ly selected cast headed by Corinne.
 one of the most famous singing com
 ediennes on the American stage.
 Forty-Five Minutes From Broad
 way is novelty and quite original from the fact that 1t is not a perfor-
 nance of a distinctive character ex- cept in It's own field, as the author has very cleverly interwoven into 1t com edy' drama. melodrama, musical com edy ana farce. thereby creating a mu-
 sical play possessing ginger and 0nlCknnSR {,, n performance. In the construction of
 this MT. Cohan has shown that he had convictions and the strength of mind | to carry them out
 The story of the piece is splendidly | told by Corinne. who plays the role
 of Mary the housemaid, aided by the clever company with which Klaw and l Erlanger have surrounded her. The piece is staged In three acts, The scenes represent the exterior of the Castleton mansion at New Rochelle in | the morning, the drawing room in the evening, and the railroad station the | next morning.
 The opposite character to that
 acted by Corinne $ "KI1" Burns, q young man who has become very worldly wise through long experience ! on Broadway, and who expresses
 most practical philosophy in piquant slang. This character Is acted by
 Scott Welsh. He proves splendid foil for Corinne's clev'r acting in the | role of Mary. which requires her to display in several situations consid-
 erable emotional ability. Her DOT trayal of this character has proved
 great surprise to her many admirers
 who. through her long connection with comic opera and extravaganza had be- come imbued with the ideas that she could not play to advantage charac-
 ter having a serious side.
 The engagement at the Montgomery Theatre Monday night of this now fa- nous attraction has already attracted unusual interest.

Wathall, Professor of Music of the Northw estern University The book is particularly good and leading critics say 1t Is the best that has been offered on the mu sical stage since the palmiest days of Gilbert and Sullivan.

 After every act there were numerous curtain calls for Miss Walker and Mr. Serrano and after the strong third act there were no less than eight.
 The play abounded in clever dia- logue, and quaint corceits: the costumes were charming, and even better--cor- rect; the scenery was in excellent taste. and every member of the company de- served more than a word of comme nda- tion and praise.
 While in a great degree the sue cess of the play belongs to Its except fonally clever author. yet to Miss Cha-- lotte Walker and to MT. Vincent Ser rano Is due a fair share of the green laurel leaves that crown success.

Washington, Dec. 30-An appalling
disaster occurred tonight at o'clock
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, at
Terra Gotta, about three miles from
this city, in which about thirty-five
persons were killed and over sixty
injured, some of them so seriously
that they will die.
The accident was caused by the col
lision of train No. Sc due here at 6:25
from Frederick, Md, known as the
Frederick Special, with a dead pas
senger equipment special of eight
cars. Over 200 passengers were aboard
the Inflated train. The railroad Off.

sign any cause for the collision. AS

The dead bodies we're found lying
beside the track for a considerable
distance. The wreck occurred at 6:39
p. m. A dense fog was prevailing and
made objects perceptible for few
feet ahead 1t was impossible at first
to determine the exact extent of the
wreck. Those passengers in the for
ward coach were but slightly bruised.
Those who heard the groans of the
dying and wounded did what they
could to give aid. A number of the
passengers walked to Brookland,
three-fourths of a mile away. The
moment the first of the survivors
reached Brookland a general call was
sent out for doctors and ambulances.
DR.. r. w. Frischorn, DR.. Stern, DIR.
J. H. Brooks of Brookland, responded,
and we're taken to the scene in auto
mobiles.
The wreck is attributed to the sec.
ond train running past the signal
against it in a fog.

DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED.
Carries an Appropriation of About S11,-
100000.

Washington, June 2S.-The senate at
to-night's session passed the general
deficiency appropriation bill, carrying
an appropriation of about $11, 500 900.
When the bill was taken up the amend
ment authorizing the owners of vessels
injured in collision with government
vessels regarding suits for damages in
United States district courts caused
some debate and was withdrawn to
save time.
An amendment offered by Senator
Gallinger providing that the eight-hour
law shall not apply to superintendents
and foremen of laborers on the canal
zone was accepted.
Senator LaFollette criticized the pro-
vision for the payment of the Cherokee
removal claim of 81, ,134,24S with interest
at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum
since 1898, bringing the total up to
about S5,OO0,0O0. He said the attorneys
would get about $3.50, 900. Senator Berry
explained that the appropriation is to
pay a judgment of the supreme court
of the United States and no further
objection was made.
