RUDE" STONE
MAKES ALL LAUGH
COMEDIAN AT GARRIck TELLS OF
UNCLE TOMS cARlN-BlLL
Is FRoLIcsoME.

While Cal Stewart seemd to cover
everything in the "rube'' line by his
work earlier in the week, the present
Garrick bill has another performer
who goes Stewart one better and the
crowds at the Green street playhouse
yesterday and last night laughed al
most to spasms at the humor that
bubbles from the talented lips Of Fred
Stone of the team of Stone and Hayes.
He gives a description of an Uncle
Toms Cabin show that covers every
thing from Eva to Eliza, and one
laugh follows another The team
opens the bill with singing, dancing
and talking act, In which the chief
feature in stones "Rube" work. Billy
OBrien repeats '"The Garden of
Roses" and makes the usual marked
impression. Then there is Morrissey
and Rich, another man and woman
team, who make mirth paramount is
sue. The woman member is endowed
with plenty of ginger, and her male
partner handles his feet with class
and holds up his end Of the mono
losue. In blackface Bert Medium
seems at home, and he added more
friends to those he made last year
here with his work behind the burnt
cork. He has surplus of funny
gags and does not allow one of them
to float over the heads of his auditors.
He also sings, and shows nervous
ness of his Upper lip that is all his
own. Stanley and Chambers are two
youngsters who have bounding table
act that is clever. Stanley Is the
comedian Of the pair and gets away
with a quantity of good stuff His
double somersault is classy, but his
humor is what most of the audience
likes. The Garrickscope shows inter-
esting pictures.

boes,'- who divided their time between
listening 20 the speaker and consuming
large quantities of coffee and sandwiches
furnished by How.

children, but that he will not leave them
his property, as they have not earned it.

months and a half, Mrs. Kate Mendel-

a comatose state. Their baby lay on
the floor uninjured, apparently having
fallen out of bed. Mr. Mendelsohn had
20 knowledge of what had taken place

thought that the child was killed. She
had been frail, but in normal health.
The surgeons expect to hold an autopsy.

POLICE GET SILVER
IN TOACHM1N'S HOME.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Jan. 16.-The silver
ware stolen from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Barnes Compton, at Millbrook, the
night Sarah Brymer, the governess. was
strangled to death. was found to-day
tucked away in a chimney flue of the bed
room upstairs in the home of the coach
man, Frank Schermerhorn, who attempted
suicide by cutting his throat shortly after
the officials began their investigation and
who is charged with the murder.
There were 16l pieces OF the silver. also
a gold enameled watch and some jewelry,
all of which was scorched and blackened
by heat, showing it had been subjected TO
fire In the wood stove in Schermerhorn' s
sitting room downstairs there we're traces
of fresh fire, and out of the ashes were
picked fragments of silk stockings, silk
and lace waists. buttons from dresses, a
clasp from a jewel case, partly burned,
half of which was found in the chimney,
and other things stolen from the Comp
ton home the night of the murder
The stolen silver and other articles were
brought to this city and tonight taken to
Vassar Hospital where they were piled in a
heap on a table alongside Schermerhorn'
cot, the officials believing he would at once
confess
After the last piece of silver had been put
on the pile Schermerhorn at first said he
knew nothing about the silverware and
clothing that were found in his home. He
said he was not afraid of the electric chair,
and added:
IF YOU want to kill me, go ahead. I
never thought of numbering that girl and
never entered the house"
Shortly before midnight Schermcrhorn
said, according to the police:
After 1 got back from my drive that
night I went down to the Compton house
and there met the Japanese butler. He
gave me bundle containing the silvcrware
at the kitchen door.
Il took the bundle home, and the dresses
] burned in the parlor stove l also put
the silver knives and forks and spoons
and the jewel case in the parlor stove, but
when ! found that could not burn the sill
verware l put 1t in the stovepipe hole in
the chimney and 1t fell down the fiue.
"Ohashi wanted to give me some money,
but I would not take it, Ohashi gave me
drink of wniskey when I got back from
the ride and told me that if l heard
noise not to come around.
THE night Sarah Brymer was murdered
had no control of myself after Ohashl
gave me the whiskey."
Chief of Police McCabe says he does not
believe Ohashi had anything to do with
the crime, and Mrs. Compton is of the
same opinion Schermerhorn is much inn
proved and will be removed to the county
Jail in a few days.
