he told her that someone had been af-
ter her for a week. and he intended
TO see her safely home Mrs. Lafferty
declined his attentions and about that
time Mr.. Shaw arrived on the scene.
He took in the situation at a glance,
and when he started toward the
stranger he hurried down Orange
street.
Mrs. Lafferty said the man was a
young white man, tall and slender,
With blue eyes and a smooth face.
She said he wore a suit big enough
for a 3Q0-pound man and derby
like a Dutch comedian wears on the
stage. She said he evidently was so
dressed to disguise himself. She got
a good look at the man when they
stopped under the arc light.
Two "panhandlers," who operated in
this city on Thursday night. are re-
sponsible for several hold-up reports.
These two men approached several
persons and requested money, on sew
eral occasions asking for It in such
an insistant manner as TO be almost a
demand, and II was reported that
some of the persons they approached
had been held up.
Three of the persons accosted by the
'panhandlers' were Bernard Mooney, Of

was standing near when the men ac-
costed Raleigh, and he showed them the

move on or he would place them under
arrest. They then walked up the street
Samuel Wesley Long was so sure that
stranger who followed him one night
this week intended TO hold him up that
he called the police. The stranger spoke
TO Mr.. Long three times at Tenth and
Monroe streets. but when the police ar
rived the man had disappeared.

But for the appearance Of passen
ger on one of the cars of the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Company
bound for the car barns last Saturday
night, it is thought an attempt would
have been made to rob the conductor.
The car was boarded at Eighth and
Market streets by a man apparently in

FAIR PLAY IN THE PLAY.

z. H. Sothern, co-star with his wife,
Julia Marlowe, in Shakespearean pro-
auctions, has strengthened his hold
upon play-goers IN Rock Island, and in
other cities in which his company is
to appear on It's present tour, by earnest
ly advising them in advance OF Miss
Marlowe's enforced but regrettable alb
sence from the cast for the present.
Too often is It that stage favorites
are not so frank with the people to
whom they cater. Apprehensive that
unavoidable circumstances may posi-
bly, tend TO disappoint, they consider
only the box Office and try to get
by" with deception or an eleventh
hour explanation. 1t Is not infrequent-
" that an understudy takes the lead
public being the wiser But this Is not
the way with Sothern and Marlowe.
Having attained fame on merit they
do not undertake to gain by misrepre-
sentatiOn. They are candid with their
admirers, and they will not lose by it.
Mr. Sothern has informed all theatre
managers in cities where he is TO ap-
pear that Miss Marlowe will not be
with the company. and has insisted
that this information be conveyed TO
the public with whom he insists
there shall be absolute fairness. From
such a man the assurance that Miss
Leonore Chippendale. who will take
Miss Marlowe's place, will So please
her audiences as to leave no occasion
for regret, may be taken as entirely
reliable. Those who have seen Soth-
ern and Marlowe, and are familiar with
the pains they take as to detail in all
that enters into their productions, do
not require Mr. SOthern's word that
Miss Chippendale will take Miss Mar
loves place in an entirely acceptable
manner. Convinced that Mr.. Soth-
ern is not only a great actor, but
an ornament 10 his profession. they
have the added satisfaction of know
ing that he is honest in his nature,
and so constituted he could not fail
TO be honest in his productions.
And so understanding the character
@ the man and his love for his art.
the patrons of the legitimate in the
drama will be satisfied in advance there
would be no one in the Sothern-M Mar
lowe cast that could not meet any
emergency as would properly befit the
task.
The theatre going people Of Rock
Island regret that Miss Marlowe will
not be able 10 accompany her husband
in his local engagement, but they will
not fail in their opportunity to see
Sothern and TO witdess a classic pre-
sentation Of one Of Shakespeare's mas
terpieces.
The people will prove by their pres
ence that It always pays to be fair.
