A LIGHTNING CHANGE ARTIST
BECOMES THE SENSATION
OF THE SEASON IN NEW
YORK.

Special Correspondence of The
Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9. - Out one
door goes Henri De Vries, at the
Madison Square theater, and in he
comes at another. Seven times are
the changes made in the little one
act drama called "a Case of Ar
SON." In this the famous Dutch
actor plays seven widely different
parts.
In the cast of this play there are
but three people. The unsympa-
thetic magistrate questions the
witnesses. His elderly clerk utters
no word during the play, but with
a curt little jerk of his head he mo-
lions each witness in.
There are seven of these and of a
more totally different lot it is diff
cult to conceive. John Arend is a
manufacturer of cigars. His small
factory has been set on fire and his
little girl of was burned to death.
The inquiry is to find who is re-
sponsible for her death.
The magistrate believes that the
half witted brother of John is gull
ty and endeavors to make him con-
TESS. The shrinking fear of the
poor creature is pitiful to behold.
In this character De Vries shows
the man with the clouded intellect
trying to retreat physically within
himself. One feels instantly that
he has been jostled here and shov-
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-02-09

I ed there, his presence always re-
garded as a nuisance.
John, the manufacturer, is abso-
lutely another character. He is the
heavy Dutch peasant type, with
coal black hair and eyes, his droop-
ing mustach adding to the cold,
steely harshness than enveils him.
His voice is hard, and his answers
come in short, decisive tones. That
of his half natural brother are
sweet, gentle and musical.
The inn keeper, Putin, a jovial
wag, has the red nose and familiar
air of he who sells tipple over the
bar. The arson case amuses him
and affords a chance for gossip.
The garrulous old father in law
of John Arend gives a clew to the
awful deed. Twisted with palsy, he
shakes his withered body as he tells
of his son in laws financial debt
to him, and light begins to dawn
upon the justice, and a fatal gloom
appears that later covers the manu-
facturer.
The other witnesses are a heavy,
dull faced police officer, farming
grocer's clerk and Blk, the painter.
In each individual the hands of
this marvellous actor played a dis
tinctly separate part. In fear they
tightly clasped knees of the wretch
ed father, as the truth began to
come out. Brutal strength was de-
picted when the long, bristlinig
mustach of the policeman was con-
stantly smoothed. Ansel aArend
had the white, soft, trembling hand
of the youth who is ever afraid,
fearful of the horrible something
that he felt and could not see.

KANSAS LAUNCH BOOM
FOR EXPOSITION IN 1871

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 9. - The
state of Kansas proposes to put in
the shade all previous attempts to
hold the attention of open mouthed
humanity by putting on the biggest
loudest, most novel exposition ever
seen west of st. Louis.
On the goth of January in 1861
Kansas territory was admitted in
to the Union and thereby furnished
one of the immediate causes of the
civil war. Kansas has grown since
then to a busting, thriving com
monwealth.
In remembrance of the old days
and in celebration of the new ones,
the state will hold at Topeka a
worlds fair-a semi-centennial ex-
position-on the 50th anniversary
of the admission of the state into
the Union, which will be in the
year 1911.
On the Goth of January, Kansas
day, big convention was held in
this city to perfect the organiza-
ton that is to carry out the wish
of the people.
The $50 delegates who came to
this convention are substantial and
representative citizens of the state
They will form a corporation that
will be backed by the whole people
lawmakers, magistrates, politicians
officeholders, farmers and business
men who pay the taxes and who
are going to go down into their
pockets for the money that will be
necessary.
In the front rank of its support
ers are Gov. e. w. Hoch, the hero
of the Kansas fight on the Stand
ard OIL octopus; w. r. Stubs,
chairman of the Republican State
Central committee and the arch
champion of clean politics; F. D.
Coburn, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, with a ma
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-02-09

tional reputation because of his re-
searches and the absolute RELIABLE
ity of his reports; VIM. Allen White
the newspaper editor, author and
practical politician, and Eugene F.
Ware, known to American readers
as lronquill, the Kansas poet, and
to Washington statesmen as the
one-time pension commissioner who
put the pension bureau on a thor
ough business basis.
Maj Thos. j. Anderson, secretary
of the Topeka commercial club, the
originator of the exposition idea, is
one of those who helped get the
state into the Union. He is a vet
eran of the war of the rebellion
and one of the most honored citi-
zens of Kansas.
The people of Kansas are plan
ming no small affair. The federal
government will be asked for a big
appropriation. The state itself
will tax its resources to the limit.
The city of Topeka will issue bonds
for large amount and the county
of Shawnee, in which Topeka is
situated, will be expected to pro-
duce several hundred thousand dol
lars at least. The county, which
has just freed itself from debt, is
already preparing to put the sur
plus that has been going to pay off
bonds into the fund to be used for
the exposition.

FORM CENTRAL
LABOR BODY
NEXT SUNDAY

Next Sunday afternoon delegates
from the local unions will meet for
the purpose of organizing a CEN
trail labor body which will be rep
resentative in character. The
movement was inaugurated about
three months ago by the printing
trades and has met with the ap-
prevail of very large majority Of
the Spokane unions so much so
that there appears to be no doubt
but that the new central body will
be a go from the start.
1t is proposed to have a charter
from the American Federation of
Labor and all unions eligible to af-
filiate in such a body have been
asked to send delegates.

A PATHETIC STORY WHICH
WILL CERTAINLY APPEAL TO
THE SENTIMENTAL.

l loved Dora Merton from the
first. Not only for her pretty brown
eyes and wavy hair and trim fig.
ure, but for her kind heart and
amiable disposition as well.
Dora loved me, too. She not only
said so, but her every action clear.
ly showed it; and everybody in
the town said l was remarkably
fortunate, being but poor young
doctor, to win the love of such a
girl, who could have had her pick
from the best in the land, as her
father was the wealthiest man in
all the country around.
About this time Ralph Clayton
a wealthy merchant, met and lost
his heart to Dora, and became a
constant visitor at her home.
While I was assured of Dora's
love and esteem, l was positive that
her father held quite a different
opinion of me, and he soon made
it evident that my attentions to his
daughter were distasteful All
money Is a wonderful power.
Clayton was pompous man
some half dozen years my senior
and on account of his Internal fin
ancial position in the world, he al
ways treated me with considerable
condesc
One day as We returned together
from visit to the Merton mansion
he said to me:

rushed to my face, 81 think she

she loves and is engaged to me-"
That" replied he, sis a small
matter. Love doesn't amount tc
much where there are other things
to consider. | could teach her,
think, to esteem me in time"
Dora had always been in the
habit of meeting me when | called
under a spreading maple tree some
distance from the house. The next
day after my conversation with
Clayton, l went to see her, and she
met me at the usual place. After
a few commonplace remarks, told
her what Clayton had said to me
ooh, Paul." she exclaimed, 81

not desire me to marry that man

every way but bouyant, and passed
restless, sleepless night.
A few days after that | received
note from old Mr.. Merton, also
from Dora. The old man in a few
words informed that his daughter

up" and marry Clayton; that she
thought 1t best never to see me
again, and closed by beseeching
me to forgive her.
That night l took train for a
distant town, where l intended to
locate and strive to forget the
heartless girl, as | then thought
her, who had treated me so cruelty.
A year and more had gone by
and in all that time l had never
had any tidings of Dora.
One night, as l sat alone in my
Office, wrapt in thoughts of the
past, a boy entered and handed me
telegram. l found it to be from
old Mr.. Merton:
Dora is i'll and desires to see
you. Come Immediately"
did not stop to think over this
strange message. l only knew my
darling-mine in spite of the past
was i'll, probably dying, and wish
ed to see me.
All the bitterness I had felt for
the poor little girl left me, and the
love for her that l had partially
smothered surged over and through
me with renewed vigor.
No one was at the station to
meet me, and, without losing time
to hire a vehicle, started out to
walk to the Merton mansion as l
used to do in days of yore. My
way would take me by the old tryst
tree, and in the fast gathering twi.
light I saw sight that sent the
blood rushing to my veins.
Leaning against the trunk of the
tree, clad in spotless white, saw
the outline of a fragile female
form
Yes, it was Dora. She was not
SO i'll, then, as they had thought
her; she had recovered and had
come out to meet and surprise me.
Thus | thought as | rushed on to
greet her. There never was joy
such as mine.
Uttering many endearing words
| seized her hands, which were
clasped before her, and attempted
to draw her near me.
The hands were cold, stony cold,
and the great brown eyes had such
an expression, and the face was so
worn and white, that | released her
hastily and recoiled.
Suddenly she turned, and fixing
her great star-like eyes on me,
slowly said:
Paul, your Dora is dead; you
came too late--l died for love of
you! Forget me never, oh, my
darling! Farewell, FAREWELL" and
noiselessly approaching me, she
pressed her icy lips to mine and
disappeared.
Overcome with terror, found
myself in bed at the residence of
the old village doctor, under whom
| had first studied.
He told me that I had been found
under the old maple tree In death
like stupor: that three weeks had
elapsed since then: and had been
suffering from an attack of brain
fever, and in all that time | had
been talking of nothing but Dora,
ghosts and human cruelty.
When | grew stronger, he said ::
"Old fellow you have had a tough
pull. They came near killing you
as they did Dora, poor girl! She
died a short time before we found
you. She was calling for you dur
ing all the time of her illness, and
! DIED with your name on her lips."
