AN IRISH COMEDY
 AT THE THIRD AVE.
Mystery of Craigsnere Drew Large
 Audience Last Night.

The Mystery of Craigsmere" is holding the boards at the Third Ave nue theater for the fore part of this week. Last night the play was wit messed by one of the largest houses yet in attendance at this theater, and judging from the applause 1t is and will be a favorite. It is an Irish com edy, written by Morrie Streeter There have been several of MT. Street CTS plays produced this season, but this is the best one so far. It deals in humorous vein with an old legend handed down through generations of Irishmen of the mysterious disappear ance and subsequent recovery of the heir of Craigsmere. There has to be villain and his satellites. of course, but it is nearer a musical comedy than anything else. Streeter has the most important role-that of Larry, or the hero-and intersperses his dia- logue with delightful bits of melody sung in his pleasing tenor voice.
 Larry" is a good part and Mir Streeter does it well. He is almost epigramatic in some of his sayings. For instance, in one place he says: If you don't have love and honor in the heart you can't express it in the mind" All in all, "Craigsmere'' is more on the run of Olcott's character plays than anything seen here for long time. There are some crudities, and places where the business moves slow, but that may be because of it be- ing first night or because the actors are not well enough acquainted with their lines. The acts seem to drag a little, but that, too, is probably due to the newness of the play.
 Terry plays the villain. ably assisted by Carlyle and a stranger-called A. c. Double. Ernie Winter has a more pleasant role than in the last bill and is equally as good in his interpretation of it. Miss Bryan is charming and delightful "Mollie." who says every thing she thinks with frankness that is appalling, albeit it is a delight to the audience.
 Tonight and tomorrow night "Craigs- mere" will be played, with the ever popular Uncle Toms Cabin" for the Thursday night bill

AN ATTRACTIVE PROJECT MR. NORTON'S MEMORIAL THE ADVANTAGES THAT WOULD ACCRUE TO THE COUNTRY. Mexico Would Lose Nothing But a Triangular Patch of Worth
 less Sand.

There is some reason to believe that something may come of the memorial introduced by Councilman Norton last week urging congress to authorize ne gotiations with Mexico for a straight ening of the boundary line which from Nogales runs northwest to a point about eight miles south of Yuma The advantage to this country of such a change of the line to the line intended to be fixed at the time of the boundary survey are set forth in part in the memorial which follows.
 Speaking of the matter last night, Mr. Norton said that the region which would be transferred to the United States is of no use to Mexico. Within that triangular region of 5000 square miles there are no mineral lands worth speaking of and no settlements eX cept the several small Indian villages. such as Fl Plomo and Cobeta and the Mexican town of Sasebo, consisting of one big house. It is not certain that Sasebo would fall above the pro posed line.
 The line would touch the gulf of California at the most southerly part of the bay of Adair, which would make an excellent port. This bay. by the way. was surveyed by Admiral Dewey when a young officer of the navy.
 Though the land in that region is now worthless to Mexico, MT. Norton said that there is an area of 5OO,00O acres along the Colorado and the northern shore of the gulf which could be converted into the most fertile land in the world through the reclamation policy upon which this country has entered. Therefore the United States could afford to pay Mexico a liberal sum for the region, which ought to be- long to the United States anyhow
 There is no communication between that country and the rest of the Mex ican republic. The desert and the mountain ranges constitute as effec- tive a barrier as the Grand Canyon does between the settled part of Ari- zona and the region lying beyond it.
 Captain Norton believes that Mexico might easily be induced to enter into negotiations. If this government shows a disposition to take the matter up MT. Norton wll visit the City of Mex ico soon to further the project from that end. He is related to President Diaz by marriage and enjoys his warm friendship.
 The following is a copy of the me mOrial

As the reserved supply of strong wa ters, that was secured by persons or premeditated thirst before the advent of the great alcoholic drought begins to dwindle away, the work of the po- lice department begins to be lighter. January, with its unlimited extra sup ply of booze, went by with colors fly ing and conditions about normal. out February saw a marked change In the recorded cases on the police docket. as compared with February a year ago.
 Last February had the advantage Of an additional day. on which three per sons were arrested for being drunk and forty-three were taken up for various ofenses.
 The two months of February. 1908 and 1909, show the following police record: A year ago eighty-six persons were arrested for drunkenness, the to- tai number of arrests being 53S. This February forty-one were arrested for being drunk and 467 was the common total.
 Leaving off the last day of February a year ago, the record shows for the twenty-eight days to compare with this year, 495 cases in all, of which eighty three were trunks, against the 467 common cases last month, Of which forty-one were trunks.
 This shows that the advent of pro- hibitlon. as effecting the month just closed has reduced the number of cases for drunkenness more than hail. It was said yesterday by person who has studied the situation and Is familiar with the matter in other dry States, that of the Alabama towns Montgomery is handling the situation we'll The only way the officers can make an arrest is where they come in personal contact with a violation. or where one is reported to them. They are not allowed to search, and have not the right to enter a place under suspicion and investigate. That the law Is being enforced. the police de- partment officials say. Is shown by the steadily decreasing number of cases on the docket. The patrolmen have been instructed to do all in their power to | enforce the law and the men are doing if.

EVENING SERMON.

EVENING SEKMON.
 Heroes and Towards" was the suo- feet of Dr. Torrey's sermon, last night. The sermon was most interesting one, and in it, he gave i've reasons why every man and woman should publicly confess Christ if they had not already done SO. A skeleton of the sermon fol- lows:
 Tn the first place they should con fsss Christ because He is such Glor- ious Lord and Master. There Is noth- ing to be ashamed of in Him, but everything to be proud of It Is the greatest honor a man can have to be able to say that he is @ follower of Jesus Christ.
 Tn the second place. every man and woman should confess Christ publicly for the sake of their influence. Every man has an influence over someone. Every man and woman in Montgomery is influencing others for Christ or against Christ. If a man confesses Christ openly, then his influence Is for Christ: if he does not confess Him be- fore the world, that mans influence Is against Oh rist. Every person should be man enough and woman enough to come out openly and exert all their in- | fluence for Christ. An unbeliever has not only his own soul in his hands, but perhaps the soul of many others. "In the third place. the only way to enjoy the fulness of blessing that is in Jesus Christ, Is to publicly confess Him | before the world. According to Christs own words If you confess Him on earth, He will confess you before God in Heaven and not otherwise. God will also send His Holy Spirit into your heart, filling 1t with a joy such as you tnever knew before.
 Tn nlo and | woman should confess Christ because l 1t is the only way to be saved. God says, with the mouth confession | Is made unto salvation. person cannot receive salvation by secretly | confessing Christ.
 "In the fifth place, every man and | woman should confess Christ for the sake of common decency and the sake of their self-respect," concluded Dr.. l Torrey.
 When you and stop to think
 what Christ has done for us; how He left Heaven with all its glory and came down to earth with all its shame: how He was scourged and crowned with | thorns; how He bore shame and re- proach; how He was spat upon and buffeted and nailed to the Cross for you and me: how, although He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor,
 that we through His poverty might
 become rich; how. tn tough being in the form of God, He thought 1t not a thing
 to be grasped to be equal to God but
 humbled Himself and took upon Him. self the form of a servant, and was | ob edient even unto death, yea, the death of the Cross; how He was wound
 ed for our transgressions, and bruised | for our iniquities-if, men and women,
 knowing that you will not confess
 Jesus Christ because of the fear of
 man, or fear of loss in business, or | fear of loss of caste In society, then
 you are a coward. a poltroon. an in-
 grate of the basest. and blackest kind
 You cannot get around 1t; you know
 1t is Gods truth. l cannot see how any intelligent man or woman can bear ir
 mind what Jesus has done for them
 and then not confess Him, and still re- tain their self-respect."
