Mrs. siddons' Opinion of David Gsrrick
and Spraneer Barry.
David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played it at
Drury Lane on the Monday. and Car
rick played It the next night at Covent
Garden, and the town was divided as
TO which was the greater Romeo-in
fact, there was quite a great excite
ment about Il, and they acted IL upon
such different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as 10 which
Shakespeare intended. The fact is that
Shakespeare intended 1t TO be acted
well. and If one mans temperament
suited It best to act IN that way II
would do for another temperament the
other way.
SO they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was
tie Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo, which she considered better OF
the two, and she said:
1T is difficult 10 say. They are both
wonderfully great, but ] Will tell you
how they impress me IN the balcony

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
MAKES A STATEMENT
Mr.. Noll Emphatically Denies That He
Attempted to Discredit the Char
acter of Senator Silver.

charging Senator Gray Silver with dog
poisoning.
Quite q humber of dogs have died
in This neisyhborhood recently and to
have the enange OF killing them
brought against one Of the county's
most prominent citizen was calcu-
lated to sause great surprise. A
number or Witnesses were before the
grand jury in connection with the
charges, but as no member of the
jury is at liberty TO give curt any in
formation CONCERNING the sitting of
that body, what is known rs only ru-
NOR. The grand jury returned the in
dict-nent. not a true bill.
II appears from lthe rumors on the
street and opinions eft those who have
Interested themselves in the matter
that the charges were mad for pollti-
cal affect and 1t Is generally believed
that the proceedings wers brought TO
dlscredit the character OF one OF the
county's reputable citizens.
While at first there was a disposf-
ton on the part of some to credit the
stories that are in circu alton, the cit
tzers generally believe now that, there
was no foundation for the charges and
that Senator Silver is in no way re-
sponsible for the killing of the dogs,

All along the Baltimore and Ohio

THAT through Leonard F. Loree, the
Hartman interests would make the b..

western properties owned by the
wizard There was the talk that the
genius of Hartman along with the
masterful methods OF Loree and
Loyett, the first in actual management
and The latter in the legal end, would
combine to make the new through
line a marvel of railroad connection
and traffic. There was much map
making when this talk began and
is NJ possible that now, with Loree
and Lovett succeeding 10 the control
of the Hartman properties, the orig

Those who know the wonderful
ability OF Loree and the legal wisdom
OF Lovett look upon them joined to-
