The ReveiIers.~ the new play which
Is to be presented under the shubert
management al the Belasco Theater this
week, is In four acts and IS the work Of
Charles Richman. the actor. who now
makes his first appeal TO the public for
favor as playwright. The piece deals
with phases OF life that are well known
IN New York and shows how the infiu-
elee OF a good woman can stimulate a
man to rise above sordid company TO
make the most Of himself
According TO the story Of the play,
Jack Randolph. a brilliant young law

Dorothy Dean, a young woman from an
upstate town. who has had brief ex-

In the last two acts Of the play Jack

story tells how Van Cleve resppears-

Mystery and the Stage.

The public dearly loves a mystery. II
Is probable that the modern novel which
has a detective story for its basis viii
ind itself possessed Of more interested
readers than the tale which merely deals
with plain. Unvarnished truths or pic
lures, type. and episodes bearing close
resemblance 10 the everyday world.
On the stage, however. the detective
story has 10 be handled differently from
the way It is presented in the pages OF a
book. for whereas in the printed story an
author may keep his readers guessing and
IN the dark as TO final developments, the
playwright must rigidly observe the an
cient and honorable rule Of the stage that
the audience has 10 be in on the secret
from the first and that only the charac-
tCrs may stumble in darkness as 10 the
denouement
In the book. for instance, a robbery oc-
curs, snd~it IS up TO the reader 10 follow
the author through devious by-paths OF
conjecture without. in very many in-
stances. the slightest inkling who the
guilty party IS. It is the same in the case
OF a murdel or any other OF the crimes
in which detective stories abound In the
melodrama, however, the criminal is well
known 10 the audience. Perhaps he CON-
ulits his crime in full view Of the specta-
tors, and then It Is up 10 the detective or
the nero % ferret out the solution Of the
mystery. with the audience as interested
spectators Of the chase. II the detective
OF the hero be not popular. probably the
sympathies Of the audience are with the
hunted one. so tickle and so indiscrimI-
nate IS the temper Of bystanders the
world over.
When the grade OF play becomes higher
than mere detective melOdrama, but SKI
takes on the atmosphere OF mystery so
desirable in engaging public attention.
the mystery must be Of a different class.
The Witching Hour" is a good example
Of the modern miracle play. All propa-
gaada anent psychological phenomena IS
necessarily experimental. We have not
set reached the point when the various
theories exploited by Mr.. Augustus Thom-
IS In his highly entertaining play are &C
oepted by every ore. These things are
naturally slow Of growth. IN these days
Of an enlightened people. when every one
Is considered fairly capable Of thinking
and investigating for himself. the theories
which are being accepted on faith are
few. For any one nowadays TO blindly
believe in what he has not proven 10 his
own personal satisfaction TO be true would

Rlanche NInrrisnn.

The return to the Aborn Opera Com
pany OF Miss Blanche Morrison Is one Of
the distinct events Of the season at the
New National Theater Miss Morrison s
stage career. though brief, has been one
succession OF triumphs. She started with
Murray ( Lane in her native city OF Bos-
ton, and while an amateur. undertook the
task Of going on in Miss Lanes place for
the title role in Mariana" without even
a rehearsal or meeting the players with
whom she was to have her principal
scenes.
Miss Morrison was later engaged by the
''Bostonians,- taking Miss Grace Van
Studdiford's roles with that organIza-
ton and winning praise throughout their
long tours IN an extensive repertoire.
For the past FIVE years Miss Morrison
has been with Nine FRITZ Schef as sec
ond soprano and underStudy 10 the fasci-
mating little prima donna. She has taken
Nine. ScheT-s place many times and
scored heavily. During one engagement
OF Mile Modiste" at the New National
Theater in this city Miss Morrison sasg
the title role for three consecutive per-
foTmances. When The Prima Donna
was produced in New York last season
Miss Morrison sang the title role the
third night. owing to the sudden fndispo-
sitiOn Of Nine. Schef
Miss Morrison's rapid advancement IN
operate field has been due largely TO
her remarkable gift OF perfect pitch. for
she can tell the key II which any instru-
INIT IS playing and make the most intri-
cate corrections on the instant. Her
musical education vas started at the
Boston Conservatory. and It was here
that she developed the talent.

DROWNED AT BERLIN
L1eweIIyn I. Osborne and Frank
Nue. Lose Their Lives in the
Fox River.

Early last Saturday morning mes
sage was telephoned to VIM. H. Osborne
of this city saying that his brother
Llewellyn T. Osborne was drowned in
the Fox River near Berlin on Friday
evening The following press dispatch
gives some particulars of the sad acct
dent:
Berlin, Wis. June 81. T. Osborne
Of Baraboo and Frank Nue. Of Prairie
du Sac drowned last night in the Fox
river when the gasoline launch, Sans
Souci, in which they were travelling to
Oshkosh, was drawn over the Berlin
dam. one and one half miles north of
here. Charles Fladeck Of Sank City,
owner of the launch, was saved by Ben
Vedchky.
The party left Berlin late in the even
ing for Oshkosh. None Of them was
acquainted with the river and did not
see the dam until it was too late to pre-
vent the boat from going over. The
dam has only a p foot fall, but the I'M
dercurrent and suction is so strong at
that point that it is almost an impOssi
bility for an expert swimmer to keep
above water. Osborne's body was found
this morning and the government barge
is dredging the river for that Of Nue..
Osborne was a travelling salesman and
Nue. was in the insurance business at
Prairie du Sac.
LLEWELLYN T. OSBORNE,
who was ~ years Of age was the young
est son Of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
I. Osborne of Mineral Point. LIewel
Iyn grew to manhood and made his
home here until he removed to BarabOo,
and he was liked by all who knew him,
and he had very many warm friends
in both mineral Point and Baraboo.
He is survived by two brothers, S. T.
Osborne and w. H. Osborne, and two
sisters, Mrs. James Spensley and Mrs.
Frederick Vivian.
The body was brought here from
Baraboo on Monday and the funeral
was held from the residence Of Mr..
James Spensley on Tuesday afternoon
with religious services by Rev. S. A
Bender, pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal church.
Masonic services were held at the
grave by Mineral Point Lodge, No. 1,

DIR. s W Tr0usdaIe Dead.

DR.. Samuel Whitney Trousdale one
of the best known Methodist ministers
in Wisconsin, died at Wesley hospital
in Chicago, Friday morning, June 4, at
6 o o'clock. He had been at the hospital
some eight weeks for treatment. His
illness had been Of long duration and he
had been a great sufferer from the very
beginning. In announcing his death
the Madison Democrat said:
THE death of a good man is a loss to
humanity though the example Of his
life may prove a benedictiOn to the gen
erations which follow him. Rev. Sam
uel w Trousdale was a man out Of
whose life flowed many blessings for
those among whom he lived He was
just and upright among his fellows, de
voted to the uplift Of humanity, an ex-
empIar of the better way Of life, fearless
in his warfare against evil but broad in
his sympathies and not intOlerant. He
loved his fellow mer, and for this com
manded the esteem Of all who knew
him In the councils of the Methodist
church he stood as bulkwark Of con
servatism, and his passing is a distinct
loss to that great institution which has
been a pioneer in the evangelization of
the western world. His service to the
church is beyond estimate. Both as
pastor and as presiding elder his de-
votiOn was admirable, and while there
have been others more brilliant, per
haps. there has been none more faith
full. gentle. pure and true
