shot in quarrel with a pal or by a

Family of Ghouls.
At about this time the country was
startled by the weird story which fol
lowed the arrest of the McNamee fam
| lily. Some three miles from the city
there had lived for five years the ia
Their, two sons and daughter. But
little was known of them, although the
neighbors frequently speculated on
their means of earning a livelihood.
One night a farmer named Goodrich
was returning to his home late from a
visit to a distant relative, when he
met in the dark road team. The
road was narrow, so that in passing
he was able to see the occupants of
the other vehicle. He recognized
them as the old man McNamee and
his daughter. He was somewhat sur
prised to notice that the girl was
dressed in mans clothes, but still
more surprised to see that a muff1ed
| figure sat between them. He stopped
and asked few commonplace ques'
lions, to which he received surly re-
plies. At this point McNamee's horse
started, and as he did so threw the
hat from the head of the third figure.
Goodrich nearly fell from his wagon
as he recognized the set features OF
young Wilbur Hill, who had been
buried few days before.
Goodrich, pale from fright, hurried
home and reused the neighbors. They
opened the grave, which had but late
ly been filled, and found it empty. A
search of the house of the McNamees
revealed spades, ropes and all the
other paraphernalia of grave robbing.
Further investigation of the grave
yard showed that many other bodies
were missing, and some of these were
later discovered at Ann Arbor Medical
school. The McNamees were arrested
and imprisoned after speedy trial.

in which bodies could be secured. The
prices paid for them were high, and

PHILADELPHIA Orchestra.

The Philadelphia Orchestra commenced
its series Of five concerts at the Belasco
Theater yesterday afternoon and its ap-
pearance the second year of its visits to
this city was greeted by good sized audi
ence composed of music lovers and fash
ionable people, Mrs. Roosevelt and a party
occupying one Of the large boxes and Mrs.
John R. Mclean and her guests filling an
other. The orchestra has been Increased
since last year and 1t now numbers
eighty performers, the various sec
lions being splendidly balanced SO that it
can now compare favorably with any or
ganization in this country. Mr.. Fritz
Scheel. it's conductor, is recognized
director Of skill and force, stamping his
personality upon his entire force and hav-
ing it under complete control Mr.. Scheel
is also master hand at program making,
yesterdays work including the Vorspiel
from Wagner's ''Meistersnger:" Tschaikow-
It'll Eulenspiegel and the Merry
Franks" The symphony was that which
pleased the audience most, each of the four
movements being literally applauded. This
symphony is rich in melody in every phase
and it's Interpretation by Mr.. Scheel was
positive delight, and at it's conclusion the
conductor was emphatically recalled and
bowed his Acknowledgements. The Wagner
number was splendidly played and was an
earnest Of what might be expected from
the whole program. The Strauss number,
which was the last, was of the most mod
ern style of musical composition which its
author affects. being setting of a fifteenth
century story and household legend, and
the humorous theme with it's many musical
variations was characteristic Of Strauss.
The soloist was Nine. Johanna Gadski,
who sang the well-known aria from Der
Freischutz'' for her first number, in which
her rich soprano voice was heard with
splendid effect and artistic temperament.
For an encore she gave Schumann's Wild
mHnP 20 At her second appearance on the
program Nine. Gadsld sang Schubert's
Gretchen am Spinnrad" and Wagner's
".Traume.'' both of which were given ex-
Beaeh's 1.-The Years of Spring which she
was compelled to repeat. Nine. Gadski had
the benefit of the orchestra's accompani-
ment in her main numbers, and the work
of Mr. Scheels force In that respect proved
all that could be desired. Nine. Gadski
was in excellent voice and sang with dra-
matte fervor and artistic finish.

MINER AND POACHER.
Dan Sweetland Leads Remarkable Ca
reer in England.

In Morehamptonshire, England, SO goes
the story one Of the most dramatic series
Of events ever chronicled has just occurred.
The life-drama has for its actors as strange
an aggregation of people as ever was gath
cred together on the stage. And, indeed,
each character served dramatic purpose.
The hero, Dan Sweetland, for instance,
was a worker in the celebrated Vitifer mine
by day and a poacher by night The hero
inc was no powdered Lady Clara We're de
We're, but a brown-eyed, red-cheeked house
maid; the villain was liveried servant and
the scene Of action the social circles of the
class
Yet never did Shakespeare himself mag
Inc a stranger more thrilling set Of hap
penings than fell to these humble persons.
1t is a heart-romance Of love, hatred, teal-
ousy, intrigue, revenge. mystery and keen
wit unexceled in any italian tale Of the
middle ages.
To begin with. Dan Sweetland loved pretty
Minnie Marshall. So did his chum. Titus
Sim, footman on the same estate. Sim was
well-to-do. Dan was poor. Sim was ultra
respectable. Dan was trifie less than
reputable. So the girl loved Dan and turned
up her pretty little nose at Sim. Thus far,
nothing unusual. Women have a way of
doing such things. But. at that juncture,
fate took a hand in the game, and out of
that humble material were nodded trag
-ic, dramatic situation and throng of en-
suing episodes such as novelist has seldom
dreamed of. The novelist who conceived
so remarkable a tale is Eden Phillpotts
The story he wove is Daniel Sweetland"
This is one Of the few really great novels
of the present day. 1t pulsates and thrills
with tremendously strong scenes, and the
whole plot is one of long-sustained appeal
to every emotion that sways normal man.
The Star has secured the exclusive right to
publish Daniel Sweet and in serial form
prior to it's appearance as book. Such an
opportunity as our readers thus gain of
reading this splendid story in advance of
the rest Of the. general public cannot be
over-estimated. Daniel Sweetland" will
appear in the Saturday and Sunday Star
during November, beginning, Saturday, No
vember g. 1t Is seventh of the celebrated
$50 600 series of hitherto unpublished in
ternational novels by the greatest writers.
