George w. Little, Of Manningtoi.
passed away at the Arlington hotel, oi
that town, this afternoon at one
O'clock after suffering about Is hours
from. poison taken at his ONCE lass
evening by mistake, so 1t is said
He was well known IN this cohnmun3
fly, having been d clerk In the Nam
inington office Of the Eur eisa Pipe Lime
4 Company for the past is ears and
made frequent trips to this city. tiss
said that Mr.. Little went Into a rear
room OF his Office last evening about 8
O'clock, after. finishing his days work, !,
and took nearly the entire contents OF
n pint bottle Of roach poison. 1 He be-
came violently Ill and Drs! Ice and
Vance, Of that town, were quickly
summoned. The stricken man sres
moved to his room at the Arlington
hotel. He continued Ito grow worse
and Dr.. II. H. Carr, of this. city, went
to Manpington last evening shortly
before II o'clock on a spe ecial ctlonS
car. u ,l,
The three physicians worked with
him all night and shortly before noon
he suddenly became WORSE and began
vomiting. which, was followed with
5convulsions until he, died.
His suffering was intense.
1t will probably never be known
whether he took the poison by mistake
or not, as he was too Ill TO reply when
asked why he drank the poison. 1t
is not believed by his friends that he
took the poison with snicldal intent.
The deceased was a very popular
young man and was born In Pennsyls

since that time had been connected

into circulation for the signatures Of

upon permitting whipping posts n
this State. But In the event that tne
petition goes before the Legislature
and Marion county is given authority
TO establishisuch n post Of punishment
z It is likely that the county will pay

As mentioned In the West Virginian
several days ago, 1t is understood that
4 number Of similar petitions are be-

ties In this State which will also be
presented to. the next Legislature.
The whipping-posts will be used for

Considerable work has been done
on Loop park that is being construct
ed In Fourth ward.
There has been considerable
amount of shrubbery planted and
there has also been carload OF trees
set out. The bald places made by the
grading have been sowed in grass.
The plans for the park have been
worked out by Oglesby Paul, chief ar
chitect Of Fairmount Park, Philadel-
pbia. Arthur Paul is here superin-
tending the work that is being done.
In close proximity to the park some
handsome residences will be built
next summer. Near the park is con-
5sldered the finest place in or near the
city for fine residence sites.
The street car line has been graded
from Locust avenue to Fairmont ave.
nue. and the rails have been distribut-
ed along the line. The work OF laying
rails on this line will likely be started
this week. Just at this time there is
some speculation as to where the line
will intersectA the main line on Fair
mont avenue. The original plan was
to have the intersection of the lines at
Eighth street but this has been prac-
tically abandoned. There is the same
objection in having the intersection at
Ninth street.
The west end of the line will be
built and when the line is constructed
east as far as Walnut avenue the prob.
lem in getting to Fairmont avenue will
be solved.

GARRICK THEATRE.

With the opening of the Garrick
theatre tonight by the William Inger-
soil stock company. salt Lake adds to
her theatrical attractions a frst-class
stock company Of merit and standing
II is a style and class OF plays for
which there has long been n demand
that Mr.. Ingerson purposes placing
before the salt Lake public.
The opening bill is Brother Off
GERS, a play built on the theme Of love
and that esprit de corps which has
characterized army life from the first.
combined with a very definite sort Of
personal loyalty. Tt is the story of
man. risen from the ranks and show
ing all the qualities of mind and heart
which this implies. VINO. finding him
self i'm that most trying Of all posi-
tions, i'm love with his brother officers
chosen one. rises to the occasion as
only a loyal friend could and subjects
his own wishes to his idea Of honor.
The company which Mr. Ingersoll
brings to the house is one of the best
selected in the country. The leading
woman. of whom mention has already
been made. is Miss Frances Nelson.
and already Miss Nelson has stamped
her personality on the few salt Lakers
she has met as that Of a splendid
young woman fitted by nature. by
training and by education 90 take the

variety of plays as is already scheduled
for her
OF the star himself. salt Lakers are
well convinced as TO his ability as a
player and as to his worth as man.
In the years since he made his first
appearance here he has but grown in
ability and power. and has. as is the
way with actors. retained all that
charm Of personality which won him a
place in the beginning.
The old house. which has had q
thorough going over. is a beautiful.
cosy little playhouse. suited admirably
for the home Of n high-class stock
company. In its new dress and trim
mings fl stands ready to greet a fine
audience tonight. and it will surely
get it. The play runs all week. with
matinees on Wednesday and Saturday
and special Labor day matinee on

MISSION THEATRE.

New York City boasts of a censor
ship committed" that goes over each
and every picture exhibited in that
city. and rejects all those that fall be-
low a certain standard. Other cities
do not require this censorship. and as
a result many inferior pictures are
forced upon the market. When you
watch the pictures at the Mission the
atre. the same censorship stamp APP
pears on the curtain as 1t does in New
York This indicates that the picture
has been examined in New York and
found to be Of good moral. and also
that Lessee John Clark of the Mission
has personally censored" the pic
lures. The good results Of this double
censorship" is plain to be seen, for
while the New York committee may
allow a questionable picture TO slip
through unnoticed. il Will always be
caught by Mr.. Clark.
The great feature of the bill that
opened for one weeks run yesterday
is The Man Who Learned. or Tho
Crusade Against Impure MIX This
picture clearly shows the results OF
Unsanitary conditions in the old-fssh-
Toned farmyard and the new method
enforced in this city. as well as other
Centers. The Wrong Box IS a pic
ture calculated TO drive away the

ELITE THEATRF.

TheatregOers who have witnessed the
motion picture shows at the Elite since
that popular house reOpened for the
regular season are enthusiastic in
their praise or the programs that have
been the order Of the day there. The
Dill for the new week is to have its
first performances. and Of the subjects
on the list IL Is doubtful II any are more
popular Ethan the episode OF the oil
fields Of California entitled "UneN-
peCted Help" Quick with heart inter-
est and action. the story has to do with
the temptations which beset n trusted
emplOye Of n great oil company who
was entrusted one morning to carry n
huge sum Of money TO the bank and
who was drugged and trfcked ont Of
the gold before reaching the depository.
The incidents which follow are eN-
tremely well acted and the film will
doubtless prove a strong drawing card
at the Elite this week.
