Mcintyre has the part of porter in livery stable who is lured away from his job by one Henry Jones played by Health to go as end man in minstrel show. The show breaks up. and the efforts of the com pany to get home furnish lot of fun, especially as Alexander Hambletonian (AIcIntyre) and Jones adopt the dis guise of rajah and rance respective ly.

Jacques
SHENANDOAH.

While the heart and love interest in Shenandoah which the Poli players are offering at the Jacques this week is the strongest element of the piece the comedy situations are of the brightest, funniest and most natural type. One of the comedy parts is Sergeant Brack- cit an old soldier who is ever explain ing that the historians are all wrong in their description of the battle of Cedar Creek and that he Is the only survivor of that engagement who can be depended on to give the facts as they really were. The role will be played by William Walsh who will assume the chief comedy parts this season and his work at rehearsals in dicates that he will prove as popular a laugh creator as did George Hoey and William Lawrence last summer. Two other Important roles in the pro- cess of revealing the tenseness of the main theme are General Buckthorne and his daughter. The general Is fog horn voiced old martinet who is the personiflcation of military stern ness externally but whose heart Is ol'Nh to NNtis dSSdull VI HIS uuuSulPT or anyone else for that matter. The girl has been raised in an army post. is an expert tactician. the pet of the 10th army corps which her father con- mands and most exacting disciplin- aran in the matter of love campaigns. These roles will he taken by Harry .Langdon who was with the stock com pany for few weeks early last sum- mer and afterwards went to Bridge port and who is an experienced and talented actor. and little Louise Le Blanc whose naturally childish and unaffected personality should make a splendid ground work for the charac- ter she plays. There are several minor characters in the play which fill out the necessary contrast of types per fectly and create the atmosphere in which the powerful story of Colonel Kerrhival West and Gertrude Filing ham has its place. Prices are 10. on and 20 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.

How Monsieur Grenardi in His Mad ness Thought to Win Back the Fortune That Had
 Vanished.

In the St. Germain quarter of Paris stands a certain small house. Here, until within few months, lived M. Grenardi and his wife. Grenardi had not always lived under such humble tiles. Too well could he remember the time when the dullest day had opened fair in his eyes.
 Those days! The thought of them was as a nightmare. Those days! when prosperity had played about him; when his neighbors had regard ed him with envy, and called him "the wealthy merchant" where were they now-gone; his riches gambled and lost in speculation.
 Nightly he started up in sleep, shud- dering at the cruel imagery of his past.
 The past must be recalled. His wife and he must once more live in the

ELECTRIC MOTOR GAR.
RAPIDLY suPPLANTINa STEAM
 LOCOMOTIVES.
Steps Which the Great Railroads Arc Taking to Install the New Motive Power-Cheaper, Cleaner
 and Better.

A few years ago when some one had the boldnes to propound the question: "Will the electric railway motor sup plant the steam locomotive?" 1t excit- ed a smile of amused incredulity among railroad men, and nothing more. but the developments of recent years has clearly demonstrated that electricity is about to give the steam locomotive fight to finish, with the odds in favor o1 the former motive power.
 It was in 1888 that the first street car was successfully pulled through the streets of Richmond, Va, by an elec- tric motor, and from that humble be- ginning 1t has widened its sphere of usefulness until it has not only be- come the motive power on suburban and interurban lines, but many electric roads have been built to parallel steam lines, and has shown itself a danger ous rival, for whereas the first electric cars were equipped with a 15-horse a 400 And 500-horse power.
 Railroad companies are notoriously conservative in their business meth ods, but as every new electrical tri- umph meant another incroachment upon the steam locomotive, these ad- vances became so persistent that at last the railroad companies were forced to take notice in self-defense. And now practically every trunk line railroad company has begun the in- stallation of electricity on its lines, or is making preparations to take this step in the immediate future.
 The New York Central railroad Is equfpping its main line with an cleo tric system to run trains from the Grand Central station in New York up into the state as far as Albany. At a recent meeting of the directors 1t was decided to issue s15O,0OO,OO0 additional stock to be used in extending their lines in New York by electric roads.
 The Pennsylvania railroad has for some time operated electric trains on its Long Island division, and this work is now being constantly extended. The same company recently made another contract for the electrical equipment of its line from Philadelphia to Atlantic City. These lines, as is we'll known, have heretofore been operated by some of the finest trains that ever ran on this continent, and at speed not ex-' ceeded anywhere.
 The New York, New Haven & Hart ford recently contracted for 30 electric locomotives to be installed on their line between New York and Stamford, Conn. They have already begun to equip some of their main tracks cleo trically. The power house, where the electric current Is to be generated. is we'll under way. and bafore long cleo ric express trains win run on a regu- lar daily schedule.
 The Erie railroad is the next road which will introduce electricity on part of its main line. and once the start has been made there, the Gould roads will naturally fall into line.
 The Grand Trunk line recently con- tracted for electric power to operate its lines under the St. Clair river be- tween Detroit and Windsor
 The Illinois Central railroad is mak- ing similar preparations for the intro duction of electricity; indeed, there is

will represent the longest step ever yet taken in the direction of solving the railway rate problem"
 The president, with a view to setting at rest the reports in circulation mis- representing his attitude on the rate question, issued formal statement de- flping his position. The president de- clared his entire satisfaction with the Hepburn bill and the Allison amend ment.
 The presidents statement is as fol- lows:
 'The so called Allison amendment in the presidents judgment, simply states affirmatively what the president believes is already contained in the Hepburn bill, but if there is the slight est doubt as to its being thus already contained h the bill the president would insist upon it's being put in be- cause, unless it is contained, the bill undoubtedly would be void.
 Therefore, as incorporating the Ali son amendment under no circum- stances would do anything but good and as there is an honest doubt on the part of some sincere adherents of the bill whether 1t is or is not already by implication contained in the bill. the president is clearly of the opinion that the Allison amendment should be put in and this without regard to whether other amendments are or are not adopted.
 If the Hepburn bill, therefore, pass es fin this form. which is practically the exact form in which it passed the house, 1t will be satisfactory to the president

HE PLUNGED THE DAGGER TWICE
 INTO THE FORM BENEATH THE
 TINY QUILT. grande maison from which his debti had driven him. Such was the purporI of his thoughts.
 Time crept on. Grenardi broodet deeply.
 Treasure! There was heaps oi treasure--somewhere Yes. he knew; Le diable had promised to show him where. But Le diable wanted price He wanted the blood of a little child He should have 1t. Le diable should be paid!
 Filled with this Authorization, Gren, ardi quietly rose from his bed. Open. ing a drawer, he withdrew a small dagger and crept stealthily towards the cradle.
 "The treasure. it will be mine." he cried in frenzy. And. turning aside his head. he plunged the dagger twice into the gently breathing form beneath the tiny quilt
 Awakened by his cries. the poor mother rushed forward. and attempted to wrest the dagger from her hus- band.
 "The treasurei NJ Le Diable will give 1t to me now" the mailman cried. with eyes upon the red-dyed cradle. He raised his voice until it sounded loudly in the streets below.
 Voices called for admittance at his front door. But he did not heed. Then the lock burs, open. A dozen startled neighbors broke into the room and. struggling fercely. Grenardi was borne to the ground
 Beside her baby's cradle his wife knelt. Her lips were white. and a shudder shook her frame. Suddenly. as If determined to brave the worst of her misery. she pulled hack the clothes. and snatehed her baby iu her arms It opened It's eyes dreamily. and smiled at her.
 Her greatest treasure vas still left to her untouched. unharmed. But. presently. from beneath the quilt. Grenardfs pct cat. wounded. and bathed in blood. crspt out p<infully.

 STALLED ON UNION PACIFIC. not a steam railroad man in the coun- try who. would have pooh-poohed the idea five years ago that will not tell you now that the electric railway era has dawned and that the electric loco- motive is the coming propelling agent for railroad trains.
 The officials Of the Union Pacific have been experimenting at Omaha with the roads new motor car. No. [, which Is just out of the shops. The design somewhat resembles an airship on wheels. with a door in the center of the body instead of on the sides. and high. round windows. The car is said to be an improvement over the previous cars. in that special provis- ions have been made for climbing grades The system of ventilation is pronounced to be superior. and the car 10 be dustproof
 The following information as to the cars performances is furnished by an oficial of the road:
 The first trial rin made to Valley and back developed good climbing ability over the grades and speed of @ miles an hour with ease. The ofa- cisls were much pleased and believe that the final result of these erperi- ments. which are not yet completed. vill show this esr to be the most satis- factory car of the kind that has been built up so this time
 At . conservative estimate there are nov about ssoo. .oco appropriated by various railroad companies through out this country to es used in the pur- chase of electrical machinery.

ROOSEVELT'S VIEWS
President Makes Open State
 ment Regarding Rate Bill.
FAVORS THE ALLISON AMENDMENT.
With View to Setting at Rest Re- ports as to His Attitude, Executive Issues Formal Definition of
 His Position.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-President Roosevelt has reiterated his views on railroad rate legislation in telegram sent to the legislative committee of the Pennsylvania State grange. The tels- gram says:
 T am happy to tell you that not only am I standing on my original position as regards rate legislation, but it seems likely that congress will take this posi- tion too. The Hepburn bill meets my views, as have from the beginning stated. The Allison amendment is on- ly declaratory of what the Hepburn bill must mean, supposing 1t to be con- stitutional, and no genuine friend of the bill can object to it without stulti- flying himself.
 "In addition, I should be glad to get certain amendments, such as those commonly known as the Long and Overman amendment, but they are not vital, and even without them the Hep- burn bill, with the Allison amendment, contains practically exactly what I have both originally and always since asked for, and if enacted into law it
