May Festival at Beavers Hall.

May Festival at Beavers Hall. | The May festival given under the aus
 pices of the ladies of St. Alyosius Cath
 ollie church last evening at the Beavers
 hall was a treat for the music lovers of 1 Bessemer.
 l Miss Mamie Mallock possesses an alto
 voice of great richness, and the sad lit-
 tie story of Good Bye Sweetheart, Good l Bye," was warmly received. Mrs Julia Severln Is too well known to the music loving public to need any in- troduction, and her singing of Bischon ''Boblink' was indeed very fine. As an enchore she sang, "A May Morning and if anything her soprano voice of wide range and quality was shown to better effect in this number.
 Du Beriot's lsConcerto No. l." by Miss Regina Helnberg, violinist, and Miss Sarah Heinberg pianist, was one of the most pleasing numbers of the evening, and while Miss Regina Heinberg has been heard in concert in the city several times, her performance of last evening far sur passed any of her previous performances. She plays with consumate skill and ex- pression, and 1t has been many long day since the music lovers have enjoyed the privilege of such musical treat. One of the decided pleasures of the even ing was the singing of Rory O'Moore" by MT. Charles Herbert. The song itself Is suggestive of belle of the Emerald Isfes, and MT. Herbert's rich baritone voice was never heard to better advan- tage.
 The "chason Du Torreador" was rem dered by MT. Herbert with much style and finish, and the love story of Carmen was brought into vivid realization.
 My Wild Irish Rose,' gem of a song, was sung with much feeling and warmth by MT. L. J. owens, and his ':sonny Boy was a little triumph In itself. MT. Owens has the faculty of sing ing just as if he thoroughly enjoyed 1t all the time, and his high baritone was heard to great advantage In both numbers.
 The quartette composed of Miss Nal lock. Miss Jones, MT. Herbert and MT. Owens sang Sweet and Low" "Aint You Coming Back to Old New Hampshire, Molly" and as a finale Gounod's "Bene- dictus."
 Rubenstein's "Ozra and Millards Ave Maria, !" by MT. Bernard Leon Mtchaelson, was rendered with style and feeling. MT. Michaeson is possessed of tenor voice of wide range and exquisite quality, and his singing of There Never Will Be One Like You" for an enchore was most ar- tistically done. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Mrs. 0. W. Colgan, accompanst. She handled the simplest ballads and the most difficult pieces with great skill and expression, and to her Is due to a great extent the success of the entertainment.

Work of Bible Society.

The address of the Rev: Henry Otis Wright of the American Bible society was an illustrated exposition of one fthe most important movements in of the most important movements in New York yesterday and left last night. He said in part;
 At the outset l gladly recall the degree to which the Bible society is in touch with your missionaries in long line of posts, stretching across the globe What a line it is the history of which whose heroisms is graven in the eternal chronicles of the king dom of God! What an array of dis cordant races confront it What q medley of mutually exclusive language is seen designed to prevent your teaching the gospel of Christ. You have the Spanish language in Cuba and Mexico, the Portuguese in Bra gil, the Japanese in the progressive empire of the east, the Korean In the Land of the Morning Calm, now dis satisfied with itself, and the many forms of the Chinese language, now newly eager to absorb ideas from Chr1StendOm.
 He then went on to tell how the Bi- ble society aids the missionary with it's books, and is in fullest sympathy with thom, how, since its organization. so, ,42O,3S2 copies of the scriptures have been scattered like seed of the sower over the world field
 His story of the different branches of the societys work was interesting, telling of the translations that are made, the printing and distributing them, through special agencies over the whole world. It does not relieve tfe Christian of the duty of seeking to win men to Christ. But it is the source of supply for his food and am munition.
 Translated into five hundred lan- guages, those who read 1t find that as Paul said 1t is living, active, sharper than a two edged sword. piercing even to the dividing asunder of the joints and the marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart" Therefore 1t is as Sturgeon used to call it, "a lever to raise the fallen masses of humanity"
 Most of yesterday morning was talk en up ycith the discussion on the ar- ticIes of agreem snt. Those opposed to the adoption led by pr. W. w. Mc- Pheetcrs of Columbia. and pr. F. T.

BURGLARS USE fire.
Set Keith Drug Store Ablaze After
Robbing Till.

Burglars broke into the Frank Keith
drug store, at 4O4 Kansas avenue at an
early hour this morning, stole $48.05
from the cash register, and then set
fire to the interior of the building
The fire was first discovered at 5:45
this morning, by the drug clerk who
was sitting on a bench in front of the
store before opening the place at 6
O'Clock. He at first thought the smoke
was coming from a defective f1ue in
some nearby building, and it was not
until the smoke began to creep under
the front door that he located the trou-
Bile. Hastily unlocking the door he
turned in an alarm and proceeded to
quench the fire, which was in the south
side of the rear end of the building.
The blaze was started in a pile of old
barrels and boxes, and the heat had
cracked the glass partition between the
front and rear rooms. The fire loss
will not exceed $780,
The robber or robbers entered by way
and unlocking it, and then removing
board nailed up on the door in place
of a glass which had been previously
broken. Reaching through this aper-
ture. the burglar easily removed the
bar which held the doors
The money was taken from the cash
register, which was rung up with the
credit key The store was closed at
o'clock in the morning, and the theft
was committed between that time and
$50. The fire may have burned for
the morning clerk.
The police and sheriff's force are
working on the case this morning, but
no arrests have been made.

ford, Kan, in charge of the station
there. He had not been at Oxford
long before the safe in the station was
dynamited by burglars. There was the
paltry sum of 81 in cash in 1t at the
time 1t was dynamited. Not a sus-
picion was attached to Mr.. Heivly as
duplicating him in this robbery, but
he seemed to get an idea in his head
that people other than those connect
ed with the Santa Fe believed him to
be guilty. This idea seemed to prey
on his mind to such an extent that it
began to wander. He got ideas in his
head that shippers around Oxford
were plotting against his reputation by
destroying stock in cars after it had
been rendered to the Santa Fe for
shipment. His condition became such
that he was brought to the Santa Fe
hospital here for treatment. This was
on June IL. It did not take the doc
tors at the hospital long to arrive at
the opinion that Mr.. Heivly's mind
had become deranged and DIR. Free
man swore to a complaint in the pro-
bate court yesterday afternoon charg-
ing him with insanity. This complaint
resulted in the inquiry blythe commits
sion today when Mr.. Heivly was de-
c1ared to be insane.

H. W. HEIVLY INSANE.
Santa Fe Employe Found to Be Victim
Of Authorizations.

H w. Heivly, an employee of the
Santa Fe for a number of years, and
whose home is at No. 436 Elmwood
street was adjudged to be insane to-
day at an inquiry held at the Santa Fe
hospital, under the jurisdiction OF r.
F. Hayden, the probate judge.
Drs. Mum and Mcclure. with DR..
Freeman. chief of staff of the Santa
Fe hospital who was the examining
physician in the inquiry, composed
the commission which declared Mr..
Heivly insane. He will be held at the
Santa Fe hospital until place can be
made for him at the state hospital, to
which place he will then be trans
ferred.
Mr.. Heivly's case is quite as peculiar
as it is sad. He is thirty-seven years
old and has been working for the
Santa Fe for half dozen years. Dur
ing the past two years he has been in
the employ of the freight auditing de-
partment. A few months ago he de-
yeloped nervousness to quite an extent
and it was thought that it might be
best for him to send him out to OK

rninistratfon does not expect to use
the probe any further and will drop
the investigation for good. I'VE ex-
pect to have something to report pref
tv soon," said the mayor. The city
engineer was instructed to investigate
the sewer and report upon any mis-
construction. He is working on this
at his odd moments and said that he
would be able to report before the
next council meeting. I hope that he
will be able to do this. The city engi-
neer's force is so busy with the new
paving that they have not had much
time for anything else. There is no
to drop the investigation
The last action of the council was
to leave the whole matter in the hands
of tho committee on sewers and the
city engineer. The city engineer has
run a line of levels over the length OF
the sewer.
