cd VITA Trip VAN, WlNKLE"
LAST NIGHT.

The most pleasing aud finished per
fornance Tint has been seen here this
season was that given by Mr.. Thomas
Jefferson and company in rip Van
Wrinkle" last night al the Grand op-
era House. MIR. Jefrcrsop's interpreta-
ton OF the title role was superb and
he was equally at home as the rollick-
ing, happy-golucky RIP" and as tho
dccrepit old man after his twenty
years Of sleep. His work compares
most favorably with that of his illus
trious father. and those who have been
fortunate enough to have seen both in
the part declare that Thomas jefferson
does his acting with the same SINGER
ty that made his father hosts of adj.
mlrers. His support was very strong
and included Miss Rosa Rand, as
Gretchen" who played the same role
with the senior Jefferson.
Walter CollIsan as Derrick Won
Becliman made an ideal heavy and
succeeded in getting himself heartily
disliked by the audience by his true
Interpretation of the part.
The two children were very clever,
as was II. Mitchell, as the grown-up
Heinrich Nedder. The other members
Of the cast were also very good. The
scenic effects were very realistic and
complete production, including TWEEN
ty.eight hanging and number of set
pieces are carried by the company.
Considering the very Indictment
weather good audience was in at
tendance, which was very enthusiastic
in expressing its appreciation of the
really artistic performance.

head Of the Society for the Suppress
sion Of Vice. and Thaw's attorneys are
confident that his testimony will do
much to establish the theory that the
Young millionaire was insane at the
time Of staying White. Comstock will
produce and identity several letters
ne received from Thaw, relating to
whites alleged orgies with young girls
IN Madison Square Garden tower. and
asking the anti.vice crusaders inter
yention. In these communications
Thaw denounced White sayagely as
human brute whose principal occu-
patton was sucking the blood Of in
nocent girls" and asserted that If the
proper authorities did not put a stop
TO such bestiailties God will inspire
IN ayenger to Stay the devil" The let
tiers abound in statements tending to
show that Thaw was monomantac
on the subject Of the wrong dolngs Of
White.
The letters TO cnnstock followed the
employment by Thew of several pri.
vate detectives to watch Stanford
White. These sleutis reported. to him
the alleged revels Of White in his stu
dies. Armed with these reports, Thaw
called upon Anthony comstock and at
tempted to induce the reformer to use
his influence and that of his society
to put an end to Whites orgies. Aft
er several interviews with Thaw AMI
the receipt of number OF letters,
Comstock decided that the young mil
lionaire was of unsound mind and
that the charges against White were
probably nothing more than inbound
ed vagaries. Comstock referred Thaw
to the Society for the Prevention Of
cruelty to Children, but that body also
refused to take up the matter.
On the morning after Thaw kille'
White the murderer asked that Com
stock visit him. Comstock complied
with the request and called upon
Thaw in his cell in the Tombs. AS 4
result OF this interview. 1t is said
Comstock was further convinced that
Thaw was suffering from temporary
insanity.
While Attorney Littleton refuses to
say positively that Evelyn Thaw will
be called to the stand, 1t is definitely
known that the defense now contem-
plates such action, and that the girl
wife will again tell the tragic story
Of her life. Mr.. Britton Evans, who
coined the word "brainstorm," as de-
scrlbing Thaw's mental condition at
the time of the crime. and made 1t
known throughout the country, has
again been engaged to testify.

tain their attitude of confidence in an

taken. II Thaw is released from his

Gannetts, 10 to 10, Friday Afternoon.

In the presence Of large and ap-
preciative gathering of the young
ladies' and other employees of the Wick
cry & Hill and Gannett Publishing
Houses the baseball team representing
the latter concern went down in defeat
before team from the other on the
Reuel Williams field late yesterday af-
ternOon.
1t was rot game that could by any
stretch of the Imagination be called
close, for from the start the Vickery
& Hill boys got their eyes, also their
hands. on the ball. and romped away
from the other team in a way that was
good to see-to their supporters And
when the final run had been made and
the last man was out. and the scores
had been counted the result showed
as follows: Vickery & Hill, 10; Can
nett, 10.
1t was a decisive victory for the
vickery g. Hill team and brought them
much JOY. and so good did one young
man feel that in speaking of the game
last night he made use of the following
publications ir expressing himself:
."Those yannigans from Vickerys s

"Queen of the White Slaves" Today.
Queen of the White Slaves" from
the pen of Arthur Lamb, will be the
extraction at the Opera House this af-
ternoon and evening. The manage
ment promises that this will be the
greatest melodramatic production OF
the season. The play is written in
four acts and sixteen scenes, and a
reading of the synopsis indicates the
thrilling and exciting nature OF the
story.
There are four scenes in the first
act, representing the AlcaZar Concert
hall, the Palace hotel, street in San
Francisco and a garden overlooking
the harbor of that city. The second
act contains the cabin of Fong Low
where Detective Wendell is rescued by
a man-o war In the third act are
seen the exterior of the Palace OF
Fong Low, street in Hong Kong, the
torture room of the "Terrible Nine
and the "Chalnber of Death" The
three scenes in the fourth act repre-
sent the interior of the palace of Fong
Low and give an idea of the magnifi-
cence of the Oriental. Mr.. Lamb, who
is resident of San Francisco, has
founded tine story on facts which came
to light in that city two years ago,
in the investigation by the police, OF
the mysterious disappearance of q
prominent society girl.
Prices, matinee 10 and 25 cents; even
ing. 25, rs and so cents.

Men afflicted with a thirst for stim-
ulants have been known to drink al
most anything to quench it in case
of emergency when they could not get
liquor, even kerosene, flavoring ex-
tracts, etc, but the limit seems to
have been reached in the case of a
man who went into one of he city
restaurants early Thursday even
ing and laid siege to a bottle of
Halford sauce The bottle on the ta-
BILE where he sat down to supper was
about half full, but after he had taken
a preliminary sip to see how it tasted
it evidently satisfied him for he lost no
time in tipping the bottle up and
draining it of it's contents. And it
never started tear in his eyes.
