FORGER IS AT WORK
PASSES TWO WORTHLESS CHECKS
 FOR S7 EACH.
Goes Under Names of J. B. Thorpe and J. S. Wilcox, Bat is Believed to
 Be the Same Man.

Somewhere in the city. in the opin- ion of two losers, H. W. Fancher and W. T. Dean--is a forger. stout and red faced. Though the total loss that the city has felt from his workings has been very little, so far as has been ascertained. the laws violation in this respect Is no less severe and the interest of the citizens no less aroused.
 The alleged forger goes under two names, that of J. B. Thorpe and tAat of J. s. Wilcox. No one seems %o Dc able to place him though, 1t is thought that he Is total stranger to the city.
 The first report that was received of Thorpe alias Wilcox, was on Frl- day. On Wednesday of the same week he presented himself to MT. Fancher. a merchant of this city. with the re- quest that he cash a check made out by P. J. Meyer of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. this city. The check was for $7 and was cashed, as requested.
 On Friday, when MT. Fancher pre- sented himself at the Exchange Nat ional Bank with the check for pay ment. it developed that MT. Meyer had made out no check payable to Thorpe, and that the instrument was forg- cry.
 Last Saturday, the same man, it Is alleged, presented himself to w. T. Dean and Company. grocers, purchased articles to the extent of $1.15 and gave in return a check for $7 signed by a J. s. Wilcox. The remaining $5.S5 was given in return. and on the same day 1t developed that another forgery had been perpetrated.
 The police department had heard nothing of the cases yesterday though steps will be taken to land behind the bars the stout and red faced forger.

GA Runaway Mstch- At Casino.

With an altogether lauehable farce comedy, "A Runaway Match" as its initial offering, H. c. DeMuth's com pany marked its opening at the Elec- tric Park Casino Monday night with an excellent performance of a play that kept the spectators laughing from first to last curtain.
 Not only were the principals of fine merit, but the specialties introduced, especially those of the Connally Sisters. were particularly ameritorius.
 The play is not new and most of those present last night had already seen it, but the enjoyment of its pre- sentation was not the less because of its familiarity. The company DOT trayed character and scene with a spirit and intelligence that made the comedy almost novel and the perform ance was delectable.
 Bob Harty and Johnny Johnston were features as Cuthbert Claxton and Sol Short, and they afforded plenty of fun all through the play. Mir. Harty. hav- ing a wise conception of his role, had not forgotten the comic features of it, and he made of the part one of the best comedy parts that has been done one the Casino stage. As Sol Short, MT. Johnston displayed an excellent
 
 added an ease of acting and a pleasant tone of voice that were captivating, The songs by himself and Mir. Harty were particularly pleasing and the many encores offered them were ample testimony of the favor they won.
 Adele Estee. in the rather difficult role of Mrs. Matche, played with nota- ble talent and her presence was ex- tremely gateful. Lucy Monroe had the very attractive part of Millie and in every respect she displayed 8 talent that was adequate. Dan Sullivan played a double role of trainman and constable and was sufficient in each.
 Caroline Lee .as Mary Jane Penny wise. made a distinct hit In her &C., equation of the character. in her makeup and general delivery of the part. Miss Lee displayed a good con- ception of the part and a remarkable degree of ability in It's interpreta- ton.
 The speciaIties were notably good. Those deserving especial mention were the acts of the three .Connally Sisters, and a feature by Wi m Kent.
 "A Runaway Match yill be present. ed through the rest of the week at the Electric Park Casino.

THREATENS BIG LOSS
FIRE BREAKS OUT IN FURNITURE
 WAREHOUSE,
Department Quenches Flames With Three Lines of Lose and Con- fines the Damage to One
 ElO0F.

Tremendous loss was threatened last evening from fire that broke out shortly before < o'clock in the furni- ture warehouse of Morris. M. Wolff, a building situated in the middle of the most valuable block in the citys Him. it's
 The warehouse. W hich is immediately in the rear of the establishment occupied by the real estate firm of Charles F. Gunter. the Mobile and Ohio Railroad passenger officials, the Dahlberg Brok- craze Company and A. Strassburger, 20 Commerce street Is owned by F. M. Kohn and son, and is of brick.
 The fire department and Mir. Woin are at loss to know how the fire originated. About 1880 o'clock Mir. Dahlberg says. he noticed a flame in the warehouse, which has an opening from his office, and reported the same to the fire department, which respond ed immediately with all of It's appara- tus, save the West End Company.
 When the department arrived. the flames had already made considerable headway. but were soon checked by the three lines of hose which were called into play from Commerce street and through the alley from Bibb street.
 The flames easily spread from ob- ject to object owing to the feather and excelsior Things to the mattresses and furniture. No flames reached tho second floor of the building. where was stored much of the furniture, the con- flagration being confined solely to the first floor of the spacious warehouse.
 The damage to the building and to Mir. Wolff had not been estimated last night, though 1t is thought that the gross loss from fire and flames will be a considerable sum. The building was partially insured
 Much of the loss will result from the water which was allowed free play on the articles involved. Also. the offices through which the hose was dragged from Commerce Street. suffered loss from water leakages, the principal dam- age being done to the office of the Dahlberg Brothers.
 The quick arrival of the fire depart ment on the scene probably saved the entire block for the city. Had the flames been allowed a play of twenty minutes, Chief Browder said last even- ing. the entire block would probably have gone up in flames.
 A small fire, which broke out in a residence on Pollard Street yesterday morning, house No. 510. owned by the Griel Brothers of this city, was soon checked by the fire department from Madison Avenue headquarters, without loss The only damage done was to the chimney of the residence.

I have gained 25 pounds in weight my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that it an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for S5 years.
 My pen shall always be ready to speak a good word for this wonderful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding Grape Nuts. but never thought to apply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness the thought came to me that 1t might fit my case. The statements in regard to the food are absolutely correct. as I have proven in my own case. One very fortunate thing about the food Is that while 1t Is the most scientifically made and highly nourishing, concentrated food I have ever known. 1t has so delicious taste that 1t wins and holds friends" There's a Reason" Read "The Road to Wellville." in pkgs.

BEHAVIOR OF NEGROES.
Colonel Scott Reports On Black Sol
 Asera

Washing gton, June 1o.-Colonel Scott. superintendent of the Military Acad- emy. has made the conduct of the ne- gro troops situated at that place the subject of special report to the War Department which Is of interest in view of published rumors to the eff feet that the residents of Highland Falls have become apprehensive of dis- orderly conduct on their part.
 As a matter of fact. Colonel Scott says, the conduct of the negro troops since they have been at the military academy has been admirable and flaw less; indeed, he says. 1t has been much better than that of the white regulars who preceded them at the post.
 There are very few of these negro troops at the military academy most of them being short term men connected with the regiments that have been sent to the Philippines who were kept at home to avoid the expense of trans portation to the Philippines and their return after d few weeks active service in order to be discharged.
