 Then Patten told Kinney to go ahead and arrest him; to arrest him and be or something to that effect. That made Kinney mad.

A few weeks ago a motion was made by the district attorney that the men be S charged with the understanding that they be taken out of the country to do service in the islands. The com manding officer in his letter says that he wants the men punished. and tha; they are not desirable soldiers, and the government is glad to get rid of them.

A good audience attended the Ed monton oDera house last evening to witness the second production of the Sanford DC5Ca company in tllis city The play was that cr5aIrst of Shakes peares,n diamas. "T1e Aicr.'ls mt O. Venice and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. This greatest master piece with it's comedy and tragedy intermingled was presented in an ex- cellent manner by the Sanford Dodge company. The majority of those pres ent had read the play and the presen- tation last evening of the different chaTacters was so real and forceful as to draw forth frequent and hearty applause from a usually undemonstra- tive audience.
 The leading figure in the play, that of Shylock, was taken by Sanford Dodge, whose portrayal Of the cruel, avaracious Jew, that has from time immemcrial been the synonym of all that is despicable among men and tle most heartless of money lenders. was excellent. This is one of the most d'f- ficult and at the same time one of the most interesting characters in the whole drama, and the manner in which Mir Dodge sustained his part places him in the foremost rank in the pre- sentation of classic drama. In marked contrast 10 Shylock was Pertia sweet and attractive, an example of feminine grace, ioyeliness and mental excel lence. Miss Louis Marshall took this part and scored a decided success. She was especially fine in the trial scene, when she delivered the famous speech on mercy and enthralied her hearers by her tone, locks and ges- lures, that harmonized so well with the noble sentiments she uttered.
