THE Light Eternal was seen for the
first time in New York at the Majestic
Theater Monday night. with an admir-
able cast, and one of the most brilliant
scenic investitures shown on Broadway
in a long time 1t was written by an
unknown author, Martin v Merle, and is
credited with run Of twelve weeks in
San Francisco. The subject is the eter-
nal subject Of early Christian persecu-
ton by the Romans. Unfortunately the
lack of dramatic suspense. and the banal
simplicity Of the story failed to justify
the admirable poetry of some of the
scenes and the superb staging Of the play.
The story can be told in a few words.

Idleness doesn't seem to agree with
Lulu Glaser. According to New York
rumors, she has lost forty pounds since
she was last seen on the stage in Dolly
Dollars" Or is it that she was last seen
ON the stage in Dolly Dollars because
she was forty pounds heavier than she
thought she ought TO be, and has spent
her rest period in banting? Probably the
latter is the real situation

Tim Murphy begins his Southern tour
the first Of the year He has two bills.
The first is the comedy "A Corner in
Coffee" founded on the Rev. Cyrus
Townsend Brady's story. Mr. Murphy has
achieved the greatest success of his life
as Jim Johnstone, an old miner from
Brazil, turned loose in Wall street and
New York society. 1t was this perform
aRce that inspired the Rev. DR.. Brady to
say he would rather be able to produce
z play as Mr.. Murphy had a Corner in
Coffee than to write his best book The
comedians second bill will include three
one-aet plays and a mcnologue, and will
conclude with Mr.. Murphy's imitation Of
Irving's Matthias in The Bells" The last
is in no sense burlesque, but an imita-
tion faithful in its grotesque and tragic
realism

HOW TO GET LIENS REMOVED.
Is the Question Troubling Those Who Are Not Credited in Assessments.

Just when the board of finance will make move towards fixing up the long talked of assessment matter is not known. Many say the ques- tion is settled so far as Colonel Bur pee is concerned, but how about the people who paid and hold receipts, but who never received credit sor the amounts on the con1ptroller's books What h going to become of them? Will they have to sue in order to get the liens removed from their prop erty? This would hardly pay. A very large number of the cfedits are in the neighborhood of $1O0 and it is question if 1t would not be cheaper to come down again than go to law. In any case they should not be obliged to do either. A man who paid once and can prove 1t should not be put to further expense be- cause of somebody elses neglect. While there may not be anything to 1t, it is hinted that the end is not yet on the money question and that the present board of finance intends to give Colonel Burpee another bat tie before passing upon the city's side of the case as lost cause. Be that as it may, citizens who have been stewing about this thing for years should be relieved from future worry on this score, no matter what may be decided upon about gathering in the missing funds if there be any unac- counted for.

AGED WOMAN GETS DIVORCE.
Mrs Beckwith Gets Separation After
 A Years of Married Life.

Mrs Mary Jane Beckwith, aged about 68, who boards with her sis ter. Mrs Sarah D. Hotchkiss, on North Main street near City Mills lane, was granted divorce from her husband Stephen by Judge ShumWay in the superior court yesterday af- ternoon, after the trial of Perriello was adjourned for the day. Mrs Beckwith was also given back her maiden name, Thomas.
 The elderly petitioner had all the evidence in the case down quite pat. She knew to the hour that she was married on December 27, 1862, in Waterbury, and that it was on Oc- tober 4, 1898, her husband left ter, in Lyme, where they went to .',e about six years after they were mar ried. Beckwith owned a little farm in Lyme. Beckwith's son, by for mer marriage, considered his father was unreliable in his business meth- ods and had conservator appoint- ed over him. This was in October, 1893. The appointment of 2 con- servator ga1led the old man, whose age is 7S, and one morning upon leaving home he told his wife not to expect him for supper. That day he sailed for Charleston, s. c. Five years later he came back, his son having sent for him, but he did not return to his wife. On November ', 1900, Mrs Beckwith's house ill Lyme was destroyed by fire and she then went to live with her sister, Mrs Hotchkiss.
 Did you do any work on the farm?" she was asked by the court.
 Well, one summer picked $24.99 worth of huckleberries and sold them for six cents quart. Guess I did about everything that was to be done there," was her an- swer.
 Mrs Hotchkiss and Charles E. Thomas testified and the petition was granted.

ICEMEN HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE.
Will Be No More Cutting This Sea-
 son in This Vicinity.

With all hope of getting any more ice gone, the dealers in the conl stuff have settled down to figure up how much they are short on the winters crop and to see what increase they will have to make on the price to make up the deficiency in the sup ply. The season has been vnry poor for the ice cutters and already the icemen assert that the price will be much higher than usual next sum- mer. They claim that their crop is hardly half as large as it should be and it will be necessary to import q large amount next summer. As ice has been none too cheap the past few years, it is likely that the in- creased cost will be much felt by 'the poorer people the coming sum. mer.

 How much the dealers vii! decide to raise the cost of the article is not known, but in all probability it will be more expensive than forty cents a hundred pounds. ?

On Account of the Allotment of For.
 est Reserves.
 Salem, Ore, March 23.-According to a letter written by Governor Chamberlain to President Roosevelt, serious trouble is brewing between the sheepmen of Oregon and Wash ington. The letter states that three quarters of that part of Wenapa for est reserve located in Oregon has been allotted to Washington sheep raisers. while the Oregon men are given only one-quarter. On the other hand no Oregon sheepmen are given any of the range fin that part of the reserve located in Washington. Gov ernor Chamberlain says he is in- formed that at a meeting of the sheepmen and wool growers held at Walla Walla, December 16 last, a of sheepmen were allowed to allot the range. and that as Wash ington sheepmen predominated on the committee they took practically everything. The governor in his let- ter charges that c. NJ. Schmitz. chief ranger of the reserve, and Chief For ester Schiller of Washington have all their interests in the state of Wash ington and that both federal officers allowed the allotment to stand. The letter asserts that many of the Wash ingtoa sheep are affected with ''scabies." which will he brought into Oregon. and because of the fact that the sheep will be on government ranges the state authorities are pow eTleSs to do anything in the way of inspection.
 The governor asks the president that an investigation be made.
