.sThe Ham Tree. is Great.

SeThe Ham Tree" is Great.
 Mcintyre and Heath werS cheated last night by an audience that filled nearly every seat in the Montgomery Theatre They were cheated because the large and fashionable audience that gathered in the old playhouse, de- spite numerous counter attractions, saw the best show of it's kind that has been seen in Montgomery this season and as good as has been seen on any stage for the regular house prices S1.50.
 The word show" is used advisedly. The Ham Tree" Is show. It is the best show we have had. It combines all that is good in musical comedy, In straight comedy. in the drama, in min strelsy, in vaudeville and in spectacu- far extravaganza. It discloses beauti- full women, wealth of gorgeous cos tunes, costly and artistic scenery, in- troduces comedians who are, spontane- onsIy funny, funny without being vul- gar, and singers and dancers who know their business These things being true, ''The Ham Tree" must be given the generic term show because 1t is in q class by itself.
 The man who wrote "The Ham Tree" told a coherent If ridiculously funny story. It is a satire on the ambitions of American mothers to marry their daughters to titles Mrs. Nickelbacker of New York has such an ambition for her daughter Tessie. The object of her ambition is Lord Spotcash. Tessie loves Ernest Everhart, manager of the Georgia Minstrels. Papa Nickelbacker is a fanatic admirer of minstrelsy. Ma turally, so is Tessie. The show opens with the Nickelbacker family at hotel in Marion, N. C., brought there by the mad desire of Nickelbacker. pere, to follow the minstrel troupe which is to play that night at Peabody Hall. The minstrels need an end man and the smart negro of the minstreIs, Henry Jones, played by Heath, engages Alex ander Hambletonian, played by McIn- tyre, negro stable boy of the village, who has developed great talent as funny man in amateur performances.
 The second act discloses the min- strels stranded with the Nickelbacker family following their fortunes and Mrs. Nickelbacker anxious to get back to New York to receive an Indian Prince and Princess by whose aid she bopes to create a furore in society. Manager Everhart, of the stranded minstrels, conceives the idea of pre- senting Henry Jones and Alexander Hambletonian, the end men of the Georgia minstrels as the Rajah and the Rance, having conveniently disposed of the real prince and princess. This brings the audience to the third act in the drawing room of the Nickelback- CTS where Lord Spotcash aids the low CTS in imposing the negro minstrels upon the ambitious mother and in the end Tessie and Ernest are in warm embrace.
 Now this story, slight as 1t may ap-

AFTER EIGHT YEARS.
Fouhd That Body of MAn Buried as Pauper was J0hn stinsen,
 Wealthy Miner.

EA0EEF WuH &QM@ BAAWBVM9 Wealthy Miner.
 San Francisco, Feb. 2s.-~The Call says today that local detectives believe they have locNed the murderer of John Stinson, wealthy mining man, who disappeared from this city in 1898. At that time the body of an unknown man
 was found floating in Stowe Lake and
 was buried IS a pauper. few months
 ago is was discovered that the body in
 that his deposit box with a local trust
 company was empty, although it was known to have contained q large sum os money and other yaluables at the time of It's owners disappearance. Since
 then detectives have been at work fer
 retfng out the mystery in connection
 with Stinson's death.
 Now the news has been received here
 that yesterday Mrs. Frank w. Sawyer
 of Boston, niece of Stinson, arrived at her mothers Mrs. Sarah Connor, of
 Portland. Me. with the news that de- tectives hired by her to investigate the death of her uncle had located $75,000
 worth of bonds belonging to StInson in
 San Francisco. and are now closely
 watching the man who has them in
 his possession.
 This man, says Mrs Sawyer, was an
 old companion of Stinson's in the mine
 and worked with him for forty years.
 He became suddenly wealthy after un- ele's death," she said in an interview
 last night. land when we began the in- Ivestigation last month this fact gave us clew upon which to work. Soon we found startling evidence. This man
 had in his possession ST5.O00 of the
 bonds which uncle owned. Our detec-
 lives are now watching every move of that man and his arrest will be ac- lecmplished shortly"

eornpeIIing But in the potpourri pre- scented in the new "Fantasma" inven- tive genius has originated somethinG that out-Hanlons the HanloH reputa- tion. It has contrived something which. ip it's way. is not to be surpassed.
 From the rise of the curtain in the opening scene last night, until It's final drop, laughter alternated with applause cn the part of the audience. It was always one or the other--there was never a quiet minute. The humorous antics of Pico the clown. ar the strange mishaps of the, bibulous Drinkwater Knott, were largely responsible for the laughter. There was nothing siib- tie in the amusement called forth. The laughter was the laughter accorded to horsO play. the laughter which accom-. panies the practical joke. but 1t Was a laughter with hearty ring, and with a huge haw-haw. The applause was an outburst of enthusiasm forced by appreciation of the beauty of stage lights, mechanical clevernesa and elecS trical effects when combined.
 Tine show--for it is show. Perhaps circus would be better---is one of feat ures. It is all feature. One feature follows the other so rapidly that the first Is forgotten when the next IS reached. There are the osciliatlng gates, the elusive hat, the ambulatinS boots and travelling grips. There Is the revolving armory, the gyrating barroom, and the multiplying street lights There are the animated adveT- tisements. the rambling rabbits, and not least, the infant incubator prod ucts and the evanescent milk.
 But these are not all--they are only a few of the ingredients used In the preparation of "Fantasma." The pis- .catoriaI endeavors of the baechinalian Knott, furnished one of the sources of amusement to the crowd. The pug nacity of the frisking goat, the femi- nine aspirations of the graceful griz- zlIes, the aorobatic accomplishments of the inert scare-crow, and the laudable attainment of the ambitious duck, also came in for their share of approba- tion.
 When these things are added to stage effects of sunburst brilliancy, of red and gold phosphorescence, of delicate roseate tints, and the velvetry trans lucence of rainbow colored bubbles,-- and then when the whole Is mixed thoroughly, with a few clever special ties thrown in, the recipe for Hanlon Brothers "Fantasma" is complete All that Is necessary is to set the produc- ton on the stage to cool. It Is then ready for appetites Of theatre-goers.
 Among the specialties which were especially applauded last night were the coon songs of Clara Thropp. the solos of the dancing violinist, Frank Whitman, and the pony ballet of the American danseurs.
 The "Fantasma" company will close their engagement in Montgomery with two performances today, the matinee at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, and the evening performance at the usual hour.

 Washington, Feb. 23.-Secretary shaw and representatives of the Merchants Association of New York appeared be- fore the house committee on ways and menas today to discuss the Olcott bill providing for changes in the adminis- tration of customs desired by the Mer- chants Association of New York. The Olcott bill provides for open hearings in cases for the reappraisement of goods and this pro"--.on is the chief point of difference between Secretary Shaw and the association.
 Secretary Shaw said that the board of appraisers determined values in dis. puted cases by calling in experts from various commercial houses. who dis- closes trade secrets and show what they pay for goods similar to those whose price is questioned.
