1.-The Thief"

Henri Bernsten's new and original
play, "The Thief which was presented
at New Music Hall Saturday evening
was considered by our best theatrical
critics the best play ever given here.
There were only seven actors, but they
were certainly artists of the highest
class. The scenery, stage settings and
costumes were the most elaborate and
beautiful seen here for long time, and
this was the the first time in six consecu-
tive nights that the company had found
a stage large enough to accommodate
its paraphernalia.

Late Legislative News.
lspeelaI b the CALEpoNIANl

Montpelier, Oct. 81.
Rep. Harland b. Howe made a hit in
the House, Tuesday. A resolution
pending for a long adjournment over
election had just been killed when Mr.
Howe called attention to Rule 10 re-
quiring every member to be present
unless on account of sickness or other
reasonable excuse. He moved that the
sense OF the rule be considered as the
sense of the House. 1t was carried by
an overwhelming vote. The yeas and
nays had been called for on the principal
resolutions and with one exception
every member from Caledonia county
voted in favor of staying here and
attending to business, perhaps because
they wanted to stay and perhaps be-
cause the CALIFORNIAN is watching them.

CAVE WHICH RIVALS MAMMOTH.
1t Has Never Been Fully Explored Be-
cause Passageway Is Blocked.

Woodbury., Tenn, Special to the Chi
cago Inter Oeean.-Some seventeen miles
south of this city a magnificent natural
arch, some forty feet in height. pro-
claims the mouth of Espys cave. This
cave is a miniature wonder of the world.
The arch maintains its great height for
some fifty feet back into the cave. AT Il
distance of about 100 feet from the mouth
there is a fork in the passageway.
Down one fork one can go on foot for
about half a mile, until stopped by pool
of water. This water, which Is black,
completely fills the passage The walls
of the cave are bright with white stone,
but one sees a very different view when
looking at this pool of water
Soundings have been made, but for
depth of some 500 feet no bottom can
be found. Fish are in the water. The
passageway is thick with stalactites. The
other passage is where the real beauty
hes.
For about half mile this passage is
one continuous cavern of beauty. To tho
right is room, the beauty of which must
rival even the caverns of Luray.
The ceiling of this room rises to a
height of forty feet In the center of the
room is table whereat giants could have
seated themselves without Inconvenience.
All around the room one can see beauty
which has heretofore been unequalled
this side of the Mammoth cave. Beyond
the door of this apartment the foot of
white man never trod along the passage.
Either their hearts failed to support them
or their oil gave out. But the latter is
always claimed to have been the case.
Some of the would-be explorers are
frank enough to admit that they do not
wish to go back in the cave again. Out
side the mountains rise to a great height
on each side of the cave, which ends In
a valley.

Question Will Be Decided Next

ALDERMAN TO BE ELECTED
New Foundry and Machine Shop To
Be Erected In Bessemer-Mrs.
Lucretia Parker Inferred
In Centreville.

Bessemer, January 4.-(Special.1 =
VIII the city of Bessemer adopt the new
code at the meeting which is to be held
on next Tuesday evening? Mayor Rush
Is confined to his room at present suf-
ierlng with fever, and for that reason
no expression on the subject could be
obtained from him.
1t is understood and believed that
most of the aldermen are in favor of
the code being adopted at the present
time Whether this is done or not, it
VIII only be a question of some months
before it will have to be done. and IT
is pointed out by several that the move
at the present time would be a good
one. The question naturally arises in
this connection as to who will be made
president of the council, since it would
be necessary to appoint one.
AS the matter now stands, it is be-
lieved that the choice would either fall
to Alderman Lewis or Alderman Win
tiers. Both of these gentlemen are
eminently qualified to fill the office.
and 1t is simply a matter of choice.
This matter came up once before but
at that time nothing was done, and it
was decided to leave it stand for u
while. Now, however, it has come up
again and it is believed that some
measures will be taken by the council
within the near future looking toward
the adoption of the code.

away. 1t was time. Vic Morris had
held Vida in his arms. He had saved
her life. Yet he knew that she did
not love him-she felt she never would.
But, having had her life saved, it might
seem only reasonable to the girl that
she should show her gratitude to her
preserver, in some Way-perhaps even
by the gift of herself.
Now Vic Morris detested gratitude.
He would accept no "preserver" bust
ness-or so he told himself. That a
girl should look the more kindly upon
him because she was grateful for his
having done anything so ordinary as
saving her life, was inexpressibly an
moving. He, would as readily have
done it for a. pony-boy or a door-ten-
der. So he said. and there is reason
to believe that he believed this him
self.
That very night he began his pre-
parations for quitting Kirktown. They
had been long expecting him at Rio
Tinto, not to count the extra offer he
had had from the new mines at Bill
bao. He would have a look at tn EN-
as he passed through.
But what he did not know was that
a fierce-eyed, naughty old man had d.
rected the carefully wrapped body of
the rescued girl to be placed in his
comfortable carriage, old Dick by her
side, while he himself took his place
with the coachman.
1t was when they entered the cot
tage and the wife of the nearest game
keeper had been walked from her sum-
bers to help Vida to bed, that Vic Nor
ris saw the light start out of the SOM
bre blur of the CORN woods, in the
exact place where he knew the lodge
to be. BY night or day he could fix
1t as we'll as If he had laid 1t down
by chart and compass.

plain girl with the beautiful eyes, kept
those eyes open. She heard the bump

was filled and appended, to be out

Somehow, there came into her heart
a pitiful sense of desertion. With a

concerns only the own sex. she knew
