two-fold plot illustrated the methods of
a villain who obtained from venerable Dick
North his valuable patent. worth millions,
and then consigned the aged man to the Nv

drama Is replete with scenes of Chinese
opium dens, doubtful variety theaters and
other Accomplishments of modern villainy.

DEPos1ToRs RETURN.
Those Who Withdrew Again Place
Funds With L. and T. COMPANY

TT is all history now, though we will
never cease wondering how it happened"
said President John Joy Edison of the
Washington Loan and Trust Company
today, in speaking of the run" upon that
institution which began Friday and end
ed yesterday at noon. Business resumed
its normal course in the bank yesterday
and continued today, the only feature
being considerable rush on the part of the
depositors who withdrew their money
from the institution Friday, Saturday
and yesterday morning to redeposit it.
President Edison stated further that the
company had gained fairly definite idea
as to the starting of the rumor which
inspired the run. and no efforts will be
spared to learn the exact form of the
original ALTERNATING story. If 1t is
proved to have been at all malicious the
company proposes to institute whatever
proceedings may be necessary to have
punishment placed where it is deserved.

New 'Lyceum Theater.

1.-The Jolly Girls burlesque company re-
turned to this CITY and opened for a week s
engagement before a large New Lyceum
audience yesterday afternoon and again
last night The principal attraction of the
performance is Edmond Hayes, in a must
cal farce comedy entitled 1.-The Wise Guy
Mr. Hayes kept the audience well amused
in two acts in this role. A good Ohio is pre-
scented, with the International Comiques in
their acrobatic feats, as the headliner. The
costumes worn by the chorus are very
pretty, while the scenery is up to the
standard. The chorus is well drilled in
dancing, and a number of songs were rem
dered in a manner which commanded APP

Columbia Theater.

big and appreciative audience enjoyed
a rattling good show at the Columbia last
night, put on by Mcintyre and Heath, I'M
der the suggestive name Of The Ham
Tree This is the third season that the
tree has blossomed. but its products are
as enjoyable as ever. There were people
in the audience last night who had seen the
show. before and had come again to laugh
and glad they were that they came. When
you go to see 'The Hahn Tree" you make
up Your mind that you are there for one
purpose-to laugh. 49, -. -
The piece Is constructed mainly to enable
noted survivors Of the old opponents of
black face art, to amuse an audience. But
1t is embelisbed with an attractive program
of singing and dancing, some very effective
chorus work and some clever comedy and
character sketches.
Persons who are acquainted with the
common, cornfield variety of the plantation
negro will Immediately recognize in Nc
Intyres impersonation OF "Aies'an
Hamiltonian familiar type. Heath, as
Henry Jones, the minstrel man, will carry
you back to the old days of "Mistah
Bones" and the end man. These two are
the disgruntled remnants OF a disbanded
troupe that is walking the railroad ties
back to town. and the dialogue of the hun
cry pair as they sit with their trunk be-
side the railroad track is delightful bit of
negro comedy.
There is good chorus Of dancers and
singers. The lyrics and music are by Will
liam Jerome and Jean Schwartz. and are
capably handled Frederick V. Bowers as
the manager Of the Georgia Minstrels, sings
several songs. Sherlock Battles as the &C.
centric tramp, does some wonderful stunts
in juggling. and David Terrence, as Lord
Spotcash, depicts the accepted low comedy
characterization of the English lord. Belle
Gold, as Desdemona, lady of color, has
the negro dialect in It's perfection.
Some good buck and wing dancing is done
by dozen young men, who also help to
repertoire of song. The play is well staged
and costumed.

to westbound train No. last Friday
night caught fire between Grafton and
Fairmont and was burning rapidly when
the train arrived at the latter point
where the flames were eXtinguished
by the fire department The fire was
ed much of the floor. Considerable ex-
element prevailed among the passen-
gers but no one was injured. The car
was taken east through Oakland on
train No. Saturday morning and was
very much disfgured.
The unsettled weather of last week
greatly retarded the people of the coun-
try in their Christmas shopping and as
result merchants who have in large
stocks of goods were greatly wrought
up over the prospect of carrying the
bulk over until next year. Tuesday
however, weather conditions changed,
and freezing weather set in, which was
accompanied by snow, consequently
people came to town, the merchants
were quite busy and are wearing the
''smile that WONT come off. "
Owing to the scarcity of cars and
other circumstances over which we had
no control, we failed to get several car
loads of toys and holiday goods we
should have had. However, if your
