Watkins in Charge.

According to Comptroller Glynn, the
entire business OF printing and caring for
the stock transfer tax stamps was in the
hands of Charles M. Watkins, chief clerk
In the stock transfer tax bureau, who
was superseded early in January by an
appontee of Mr., Glynn's, and it was IN
the process Of checking up the stamps
on hand that the alleged state of affairs
was discovered.
The stamps were printed by Quayle &
Son of this city. The plates were in the
custody of the comptrollers representa-
tive, and each day We're delivered to
Quayle. The paper first used was of an
ordinary commercial sort, which Comp
troller Glynn said was stored in the
Quayle shop under an ordinary lock In
an ordinary room. and while the sheets
we're counted out before printing there
was no safeguard TO prevent their being
distracted
Moreover, the comptroller declares, the
count of sheets does not tally, the ex-
planatlon being that some of it was used
for other purposes. The first issue of
stamps was found to be susceptible Of
counterfeiting and the removal of ean-
collation. marks, and IN May or June OF
last year the printing of these Was
stopped and a new issue was begun on
patent paper

THE HOLY CITY Ben
uett's wonderfully successfully Bib.
lical drama, seems doatined to take a
place among the classics Of the Amer.
ican stage. Each year that it Is
presented 1t is Witnessed by audiences
Of Increasing size. Its popularity
does not seem to give any indication
OF waning and eager demands arc
nearly always made for return On
gagemont. One Of rf,er reasons for its
tremendous popularity IL that it is a
play which mnkess a suht y6fsal appesl.
Very few plays do that. Most rof
chem appeal to distinct elements in
the community. "The Holy City,"
however, appeals not only to the
jaded and satiated theatre goers, but
to that element in every community
which is inclined to look askance at
the theatre and which rarely, il ever,
attends theatrical performance.
The figure Of Christ is only suggested
md is never introduced upon the
'tage. The play is staged with a
lavish splendor that is almost bar.
babic in Its mngnificeuce. The cos
tuning is rich and delight to the
eye. The company presenting the
play Is recruited from among the best
known players and is capable aud
thoroughly efliciept. The Holy City
will be presented at the Houston
opera house on Tuesday, septl7.
