domestic half tragedy of soul stress.
There is also declared to be scene Pc

distinct types-one OF whom represents
the creed of religion; another, the
broader gospel of humanity; and the
third, the modern laboring class IN one
of its most realistic forms.

MAsON-The Henry Miller Associate
Players, who have Travelled all the way
from New York city, direct from the
Savoy theater, with their notable play
success, 1.-THE Servant in the House,
will appear at the Mason opera house
tomorrow evening and throughout the
week. They have been for the past
fortnight presenting this remarkable
drama in San Francisco, where the
critics have given 1t the highest praise.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported
the scene after the first San Fran
cisco performance as follows:
when the curtain fell on the final
act last night an enthralled and in
spired audience remained seated APP
plauding for five minutes until the
author of the most wonderful play that
the modern stage has seen, Charles
Ram Kennedy came before them and
received the most enthusiastic ovation
that has been given any dramatist In
San Francisco for many years."
That this now celebrated company
and production should have been
brought from coast to coast for its
special engagements in just these two
cities would attract attention In itself,
for 1t is rare, indeed, for playgoers
on the Pacific coast to get such an
almost sensational metropolitan hit
Immediately upon it's eastern run. The
engagement of "The Servant in the
House" was actually interrupted by
Mr.. Miller in the very high tide Of its
popularity in order that he might ac-
complish this transcontinental feat
The very muster roll of names of
the footlight artists who are to In
terpret here this apparently remark
ahle drama would be enough in them
selves to insure, it would seem, an
exceptional treat, for they include Ty-
rome Power, who has made himself
recognized as one Of the greatest ac-
tors of the time by his creations of
SaIiban .Tudas. Lord Hategood, Lord
Stevn and ULYSSES; Walter Hampden,
who is noted both in this country and
abroad and has been leading man for
Viola Allen and Nine. Nazimova; Gal
wev Herbert, who created SO many
Pinero Juvenile comedy roles; Edmund
Kennedy, an English actor OF repute;
Arthur Lewis, who is known to Paris,
Random and Dublin, as well as Ameri-
can audiences; Gwladys Wynne, O
dainty ingenue from London, and Ed
With Wynne Matthison, whose portrayal
of Everyman In the old morality play
won for her international praise OF
the highest kind.
This roster of players Is oversnao-
owed, nevertheless, by the exuaor-
If the play they bring, to judge from
the statements Of newspaper reviewers
who have discussed this drama from
MANY standpoints as a work or daring
unconventionality and unfiinching truth
10 human life, In essence the piece Is
sermon upon human brotherhood. It
deals with the love and truth that
save and the hatreds that destroy.
The sermon is set forth, however. 1t
is said, in such a thoroughly dramatic
style and in q story of such deeply
touching heart interest that the audi
ence is swayed from first to last with
surge of poignant emotions and en-
larzed sympathiea A curious feature

WIT AND HUMOR
OF STAGE FOLK

Richard earle, who was closely asso-
ciated with the late Peter F. DALEY
for several years, tells stories that IL
lustrate the quick wit Of the lamented
comedian.
Funny as Daley was on the
stage" says earle, "he was at his
best when in q small company of
always ready to draw upon.
"Once he consulted an oculist
about his eyes. His nose was very
small, and he couldn't keep on the
glasses with which the oculist was
trying to fit him.
''You are not used to glasses, Mr..
Daley" said the, oculist.
oh, yes, l am replied Mr.. Daley,
but not so high up

certain penurious, actor. asked
Daley one day If this man was the
same old spendthrift.
YES ne chirruped, he keeps a dog
now so all first class hotels will re-
fuse him admission

needed rest previous to the reopening
of her engagement in 1.-THE Chorus

in-law. 'T'm sure never gave him
any encouragement"
Oscar Hammerstein praised at a
musicale given in New York the per-
feet order that box parties maintain
at the opera.
"It wasn't always SOL said the great
manager. IT remember, in the sos,
meeting an actor at supper on the
first night Of his production Of Ham
let
"'well,' said I, how did your Ham
let go?"
"'0h, splendidly,' he cried. The most
sumptuous and artistic production seen
on Broadway for years. And how 1t
held the audiencel Spellbound, every
mothers son of them, from first to
last. Why, sir, in the climaxes not a
sound could be heard, but the deep
breathing of Polonius, the suppressed
sobs of Ophelia and the laughter and
conversation in the boxes.
The melancholy days are come, the saddes
of the year,
When managers in anguish sit new dramas
for to hear
On every side the playwrights swarm anc
not a whit care they
For groans and shrieks OF agony, as eacf
one reads his play.

Charles Frohman and Charles Dill
bingham have been doing Paris, Lon
don and Berlin together, taking in all
the sights. On a recent evening In
London the two managers had din
ner engagement for $3.50 o'clock, SO
promptly at 5:45 o'clock Mr.. Dilling-
ham made his appearance at Froh-
mans offices in the Hicks theater in
evening attire. He was standing in
the reception room waiting for Mr..
Frohman when in came an English
man. He walked up to Mr.. Dilling-
ham and asked:
Are these Mr.. Charles Frohman's
offices?"
"Yes," replied. Dillingham;. "These
/ are the offices occupied by Mr.. Froh-
man and his staff"
us Mr.. Frohman in7" inquired the
Englishman.
81 believe So"
KINDLY take my card" directed the
stranger to Mr.. Dillingham;, producing
a card.
'I can't take your card in." answered
the manager.
''Why not?''
"See those windows? Well. I've got
to wash all of them before 6 o'clock"
explained Dillingham;.
The Londoner looked at the window,
then at Dillinghams evening clothes,
and without smile turned slowly and
walked out of the room.

THIRTY ADDITIONS

Central Christian Church.

So far thirty have been added
to the Church in the revival being

helpers. Additions at every service
this week. Many baptized. At
every service last Sunday the
house was packed and at the after
noon and evening services many
were turned away. Mr.. Vawdcr
is not "knOcker' on other reli-
gious bodies nor on the town and
those who hear him go away
to return. In dealing with sin he
shows compassion for the sinner
and in speaking about the doct-
rims Of his denomination he let's
others alone, simply telling what
he believes and why he believes it.

By a Drunken Negro and
Captures One Running
in Full Blast.
Determined Effort Being Made
to Wipe Out This Traffic
and Gambling as Well.
q
Sensations Looked For.

Yesterday morning Clayton
Jones, negro man, was seen
Keeling thru the streets and making
for the open country. He went
out upon the highway and when a
little outside the village began
shooting rccklessly from revolver.
People meeting him reported the
matter to the police here and
Deputy Sheriff Barton went after
him. He found him at a negroes
house where he had gone and start
cd trouble, and had fallen in the
hands of Bailiff MINK who turn
ed him over to officer Barton.
On the way back to the Jail the
negro was asked some questions
kfelatiye to the source of his jag
and after beating about the bush
awhile confessed he had secured
the booze at a blind tiger on East
Pine street, The officer took his
captor to the place designated and
he pointed out Will Searcy, a neg
roe, as being the man who sold
the stuff.
A search Of Searcy's place was
made which produced two gallon
Jug and several bottles of whiskey,
besides glasses and other utensils
necessary for the operation of a
joint. There were lot Of empty
bottles and jugs and other eviden-
ccs were about, showing that the
place had been running full blast.
Searcey was placed under arrest
aud taken before Justice Paulk
who bound him over to the City
court in $500. Being unable to
raise the sum he was taken to the
Irwin county jail to await trial.
The officers stated that for two
months they have tried to get a
line on the blind tiger business
but that operations have been sly
and it has been impossible to get
convicting evidence against the
guilty parties. They also state
that they have their eyes on one
or two more places suspected and
will round them up before long as
they are getting close in on them.
= Gambling, too, is receiving con-
siderable attention from the police
who say that they are going to
drive it out of the city at all costs
and that they will not hesitate to
raid any pace they can get any
evidence against that is at all con
elusive, whether it be conducted
by white men Or negroes.
Within a few weeks it is expect
ed some sensational news along
this line will reach the public.

building are beyond telling, words

appeals from tt little tots or the
anguish Of the parents as they say
them burned before their eyes.
The school was a two story and
attic brick building, and was sup
posed to be fire proof IT was over
crowded with pupils and the at.
tic had to be used for the scholars
under 8 years of age. When the
building caught fire there were
about three hundred scholars in at
tendance and when the alarm was
sounded they tried to march ont
according to the fire drill they had
been taught. This drill had nj
ways been toward the front exit
but the fire on this occasion had
formed solid wall of fame in that
direction and the students N0n
the upper floors were compelled to
seek the rear doors. These they
found locked, and as d panic had
ensued the halls at the foot Of the
stairs were soon piled full of, ex.
cited children and it was here that
most Of the dead bodies were
found. Many came to the rescue
Immediately but we're. unable to

little year old boy at an upper
