WILTON LACKAYE.
As He VIII Appear mt TowIe's Opera
House in His Famous Play, "The
Law and the Man"

Wilton Lackaye will be seen in his
own version Of Victor Hugo's epoch
making masterpiece Les Miserables" at
the Towle opera house on Sunday,
Oct 2Sth
Mr.. Lackaye calls his play The Law
and the Man" which will strike theatre
goers familiar with the work of the
great French novelist as being particu-
larly appropriate.
In his work of acaption. the actor
playwright has followed with remark
able fidelity and skill the story as told
in the five novels which are segregated
under the one title. In many instances
and really as far as practical for stage
use the dialogue is that of Hugo him
self
The piece is in a prologue and four
acts and opens with Fantine and her
girl companions and their lovers in a
village near Paris 1t is here that
poor Famine is deserted by Felix. and
that wonderful man of iron determine

DIR. Lackaye is protraying this season.
After being driven from the inns of
the place Jean approaches the home of
the bishop of Diton, and is taken in,
given food and shelter. The robbery
occurs, the ex-convict is captured by
Javert and brought back to the house
of Bishop Welcome. Then comes that
famous scene where the gentle man of
God presents the miserable wretch with
the silver candlestick, saying: Il have
bought your soul and given it to God"
The first scene of the first act shows
Jean as the honored Mayor Madeline of
Meme. Famine, now a creature of the
streets, puts snow down the back of a
gentleman, has been arrested by Jarvit
and is about to be sent to prison for six
months. when the Mayor orders her re-
lease and has her sent to the hospital
| where she dies of consumption.

 In his absence some unfeeling wretch had stolen it from him. He did not know if it had been weaned awy or bodily kid- mapped. He still insists that it must have been kidnapped. It would never have left him voluntarily.
 He didn't deign to ask outright for an explanation, but some of his shame-faced townspeople told him In 6 day or two how it happened.
 After Therma left that day the astute and slippery real estate agents let It be known that they had acquired the land farther up the canyon for townsite, from which the houses would look right over the heads of the people of Bonanza to the boundless desert
 They didn't offer any lots for sale. Be- manga might have been suspicious then They merely talked with kindly imper- sonal enthusiasm of their new townsite in the canyon above Bonanza.
 Regular Treck Followed.
 They conceded that Bonanza was a very fine town indeed. When they looked down from their town right in the heart of the mines over the heads of the Be- nanza people it would be with kindly thoughts.
 Finally one of the Bonanza men mus tered up courage and asked uneasily if there was any chance for Bonanza peo- pie to move in there.
 Why. certainly there was. the polite real estate man stated.
 How much would 1t cost?
 The real estate man looked hurt. They were almost offended. How could it be thought for one moment that they could be so unneighborly as to charge their friends of Bonanza for city lots Ger tainly not, Any person with the honor able recommendation of having once lived in Bonanza could have city lot abso- lutely free if he would only come to live in the new town on Rhyolite,
 The news spread like wildnre what ever wildfire is. According to literary lights it seems to be great spreader, much more so than tame fire.
 Well, anyhow, before sundown every dwelling, every single tent, and every stick of furniture was packed onto the freight wagons-furnished free by the promo ters of Rhyoite.
 It was a vast desert trek-women and children, burros and household goods, not to speak of the men. Not living soul was left in Bonanza. Not even a mangy dog was there to welcome the magnate home again.
 The father of Bonanza considered It to

be beneath his dignity to try to coax the people back. He suggested that he might give away few town lots himself if they would come back. But the lights continued to twinkle up the canyon, and to this day his is the only tent left in the townsite of Bonanza.
 As he goes to and from his mining claims, 'Therma steadfastly keeps his eyes averted from the canvas glare ot the big, sprawllng town of Rhyolite He pre- fers to look out on the desert
 His consolation is that he has the finest house in Bonanza-the only one.
 Although Rhyolite is growing by leaps and bounds, Therma has the firm belief that some day his town will come back to him and beg to be forgiven.
 This dull hope, which has never left him, has lately sprung into living fire He has just learned that the new railroad now building from Goldield into the heart of the gray desert will have Its terminus

SOUTHERN POETRY GALORE

But today where is dear Sister Murphy?
 With the blood washed host above Sister Murphy is happy now in the king
 dom,
 She is singing with the redeemed; Look at her before the majestic throne
 Drinking from the placid stream!' But this was not all the south had to offer in that immortal year, for 1903 brought to light the most colossal figure in the modern choir-the figure of Louis Michel of Baltimore. In him we find a master of melody and rythm, of music, passion and exaltation. In him we also find more than all this; we find the prophet and the priest of poetry. He is the very prince of versatility, for while he is able to twitter. and caterwaul with the finest adopts in those lines, he can sound the clarion till the hillsides faint, and he carries thunder always on his person. It was in this more heroic and uplifting mood that. about three years ago, he wound the horn with these results:
 "A giant both in form and subtle mind Stands idolized brave Theodore Roose-
 welt
 Before the world No one can ever find A leader who his mission prompter felt. No subtler mind than his could brightly

 kind
 And ever true to nations cultured law; Intensely good, yet he was never blind To our interests and New Panama" America will perhaps never produce a poet so thoroughly equipped for success in every field. Wonders of his kind do not usually occur more than once in a century. and even at that rate only in scattered and far distant spots.

come along very shortly When the Pres- ident arrives, usually bounding in through the door from his office, in a great rush, Dulaney takes his place at the back of a big upholstered chair patterned after all the chairs commonly used in the execu- tive departments. Back into this chair the presidential form is stretched, which Is the signal for the silent Dulaney to begin his operations. First, thin layer of father Is spread, and without rubbing i. in," as most barbers do in the case of their ordinary customers, Dulaney be- gins to scrape with a keen razor of or dinary make. Frequently the President en- tertains late morning caller while be- ing shaved, and though the chief exec utive keeps up a constant fire of talk, 1t seems not to perturb the calm-visagod Dulaney in the least. "Once over'' Is the standing order with Dulaney and he com pletes the daily task usually in eight min utes by the watch. The President is then ready for luncheon, and skips away AS if justly proud of having performed his public functions satisfactorily, William Dulaney glides noiselessly from the room. speaking not word the while

From tho New York Sun.

From tho New York Sun. T is not admitted in the highest liter
 ary circles that Reuben J. Holmes, the poet laureate of Salisbury, N. C., has come up to his own standard in re- cent rhapsody entitled Capri" That the verses are of rare merit and contain the result of many noble and lofty thoughts is everywhere conceded, but all southern lovers of really high class minstrelsy maintain that Carolina poetry reached it's zenith in 1908, and has since declined upon lower scale. It was in 1903 that our Appalachian troubadour rose up and smote his Tyre to this effect: Just month ago in the Piedmont sec-
 ton,
 Where things are beautiful and not so
 slow,
 I had the pleasure of meeting Miss
 Marioneaux,
 And from the pleasant smile which she
 possessed
 was well satisfied that she was equiva-
 lent to the best.'
 To say that this note of more than hu- man beauty touched every heart in Row an county and enraptured all feeling per- sons within two hundred miles is to state the case with imbecile inadequacy. Those who still recall the almost uncomfortable ecstasy in which they throbbed and panted for weeks afterward are not ready to admit that Capri is a thriller of anything like equal power It Is gen. erally conceded that the latter marks a distinct lapse from the fervor and the in- splration of three years ago.
