MADE A HIT WITH HIM.
Dallas Newspaper Man Likes the Lam
sing Prison System.

The new deal inaugurated at Ian
sing prison by Governor Stubs some
thing over a year ago, made a decided
impression on Tom FInty a Dallas
newspaper man sent here to attend
the interstate rate conference Finty
visited a day or two at Lansing the
first of the week, and speaking today
of his impressions received there,
said: TT did not take long to con-
vince me that Gov. Stubs, in placing
a, man in charge who was not trained
at all in prison work had brought
about real reform.
THE old idea that a warden must
first serve a long apprenticeship in
the keeping of criminals has worn out
and the fact is recognized in many
states. These old timers get in the
rut and hold fast forever to their old
ideas. They treat their prisoners a
good deal like the keeper of the Bas-
tile treated his two hundred years ago
and handed the methods down for
guidance in all prisons.
Now I found at Lansing long
headed, humane. common sense lawyer
in charge who has done a wonderful
work there. He has his prisoners in
good health and spirits and the greater
per cent of them are meeting him half
way in his reforms. The small per
cent who balk merely bite their own
noses Off for this man Codding de-
mands reciprocity, otherwise the pris-
oner feels the heavy hand of discipline.

cast Aside Tonight's Bill.

That the American public will al
ways support a good play is proved by
the success obtained in so short a time
by Cast Aside which is being called
1.-The big play of the season. From its
opening performance the public has re-
sponded to the call of the box office.
In fact so great has been the demand
that its managers have placed three
companies of equal merit on tour.
Cast Aside" is the play by L. B.
Parker founded upon the theme sug-
gested in the song bye. K Harris of the
same tile. This is the first play III
a ballad. The play is filled with COM
edy and its theme, though not by any
means new, is treated in a manner diff
ferent from heretofore. So much dis
cussicn has been created by this drama
that three ministers have used it as
the theme for the Sunday SERMONS.
Cast Aside will be presented at the
Grand tonight.

The House of a Thousand Candles.

One of the most delightful characters
in modern fiction and drama, is Bates.
the inscrutable butler in 1.-The House of
a Thousand Candles the attraction at
the Grand on September 27.
Bates is a. character, attracting the
sympathy of the audience from the
moment of his appearance and holding
it until the last act reveals him in the
light of a greater hero than the action
of the present time permits. He is
possessed of a dry humor, which is an
asset for any hero-he is brave fear
less and man of mystery. He, above
all of the characters, holds the key to
the situation, the solution of the riddle
the mystery of The House of a Thou
sand Candles would vanish. but his
loyalty to the whimsical builder of the
strange mansion and to that builders
purpose-to bring his grandson home
and see him married to Marian Deve-
reaux seals his lips and makes him as
well as young Glenarm a victim of
Pickering's villainy. To him the aged
owner of the estate unfolds his plan
and declares his intention of pretend
ing to die.
1t is Bates who summons the grand
father to return when he observes that
an attack by Pickering and his armed
hirelings upon the mansion and its oc-
cupants cannot be postponed Through
his well timed message and Marian's
aid. the senior Glenarm hastens to the
scene in time to prevent bloodshed that
threatens to be unavoidable. 1t is this
unexpected arrival to all except Bates,
little less than a resurrection, that
marks the climax of the play.

He Is to Marry.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 1.-"Dearie"
was Spencer Tyres answer to the
county clerk when that official asked
him the name of the lady who was
to become his wife by virtue of the
license he had applied for. And
"dearie" was all he could say.
Spencer Tyre, who hailed from
Fitchburg, near here, completely for
got the name of the woman he was
going to marry. He was embarrass-

him for the lady's real name.
"Dearie," said Mr. Tyre. The
bridegroom, whose age was given as
5S, was sent away to learn 'Dearie's'
other name. He never came back.
Instead, blushing tremulous, Nancy
A. Peters, 81 years old, appeared
later, apologized for Tyre, explained
that in his confusion he forgot his
name, and asked for the license. She
got it-and paid for 1t.

Paris, Jan. Preliminary ar

absinthe f1end, who, as keeper of a
ward in an insane asylum, strangled
dozens of patients to get money to
satisfy his thirst. 1t is believed to be
certain that he will go to the guillo-
tine. Poe, in his most somber mo-
ments, could not have dreamed of
crimes more hideous than those per-
petrated by the monster, Thabuis.
Thabuis was the keeper of an in
durable ward. For weeks before the
discovery of his crimes it was noted
by the asylum authorities that his
patients trembled in fear every time
he approached them. Later his Wis

panic among the gibbering folk.

the pictures the poison made.
