ADJUSTMENTS.

Theatcr--There is much In n name,
particularly for plays and books. THE
Ragged Messenger" suffers from its
name, one that suggests melodrama,
while the play itself is the very re-
verse. Its name handlcaps 1t and will
continue to, no doubt.
The Ragged Messenger" is of the
problem play order, A young minister.
Kew. John Morton, takes up work in the
slums and meets with phenomenal sue
cess. His conversion to a better life
or the poor and the outcast is no less
remarkable than his power TO enlist
the sympathy and aid of the wealthy.
one OF his converts in the latter class
is Phlilp Haidane. who does not appear.

tirst act. Haldrne leaves his entire
fortune 10 Morton. In years gone by
he had sustained Illicit relations with
Mary Ainsleigh. Just before his death
she comes into the house as a nurse.
Her hope had been that Haldane. with
his immense fortune. would do what
lay In his power to right the wrong
he had done her. This hope was dis
appointed She resolves to revenge
herself upon the legatee, Morton, and
enlists IN his work. Her confederate is
Bertie Carpenter who Is madly in love
with her, and the villain of the piece.
They plot against Morton and are large
ly successful. Her simulated zeal wins
the admiration and finally the love OF
the minister. She discovers that he is
a man different from any she had ever
known which changes her view of him
and her aims towards him. She falls
IN love with him, and eventually he de-
clares his love for her against her rather
mild protest. They are married and
then the villain protests TO Mary that
she II going farther than was intend
ed, that her game surprises him. He
has not realized the change In the
woman. Soon follows the unfolding
OF the whole plot. Morton has been un-

might, with Haldane's gold, do some
thing 10 save her a detective Is put
on the trail and succeeds IN his pursuit

PRIZE FOR PLANS.
Bill introduced by Senator Williams to
Secure Designs for Capitol Building.

one of the interesting legislative
questions is to guess when public sent
iment Will centralize Itself in favor of
capitol building. Some legislator has
introduced capitol building bill into
every recent session, aud each time
some other legislator has risen up to
say mot yet. but soon" When will
the nrst man stand UP and the second
man keep his seat. while a bill goes to
roll call and final passage?
The coal probing committee has de-
veloped the fact that public sentiment
has been growing In favor OF such an
investigation for several years. and
finally found approval after being side
tracked many times. The Galveston
bills passed the senate after similar
bills had been killed in committee as
long as four years ago. The fayorIte
legislative bill on a capitol has been a
sinking fund measure. Now, however,
more definite bill on a capitol has
been broached 1t is in the nature of
bill by Senator Williams, appropriate
Ing $1,000 for a first prize, $3.50 for a
second prize, $500 for a third prize, and
$3.50 for fourth prize, for architectural
designs worthy OF consideration for use
as plans for a capitol building. The
building is to cost $1,000, 900, and plans
must be submitted on June /. 1908.
Section of the bill provides that the
architect submitting the plans and de-
scription that are adopted for the state
capitol building shall have the prefer
ence right OF employment as super
yising architect Of the said building for
me commission or compensation that
thall be fixed by the legislature or cap
itol commission, but the amount paid to
him as a prize for his plans and de-
scrlptlon shall be deducted from such
commission.

PARKKEEpERS REPORT.
He Makes Some Good Recommends
tons in the Line of Improvements.

The annual report Of City Park
keeper H. F, Heath for the year 1906 has
been filed with Mayor Thompson. The
expenses of the park department were So
0S3. 49, as compared with Sl0,559.b3 for the
year 1895. saving for 1906 of S1i5 81 MI
Heath recommends that the north end of
Llberty park be improved and parked and
that the watermains be extended to that
district for that purpose. He suggests
that the lake be enlarged so as to take IN
all the swampy land or the north and east
sides OF II.
He recommends the purchase OF addi~
tional benches for all the parks and also
the construction OF Il building at Liberty
park 61xl00 feet in dimensions for the
protection of people during the rains.
This building, he says, could also be used
as a lunch pavilion and thus do away
with the practise of eating lunches on the
lawn. The entire water system at the
park should be enlarged and improved
and he suggests that the artesian wells
south OF the park be utilized for irrga-
ton purposes.
