A GRIPPING PLAY.
The MYrkIe- Harder Company Gives
Splendid Performance at Popular
Prices.

1t is safe TO say no repertoire com
pany has ever appeared in the Colo
nial Theatre that has been up to the
standard of the Myrkle-Harder Com
pany, playing a weeks engagement
here the present week.
The ability of the players, the
quality and kind of plays they pro-
duce, the attractive and refined stage
setting. all are in keeping with the
high priced shows, with which the
Myrkle-Harder Company compares
most favorably. There is nothing
Cheap" about this company except
the popular prices of admission
AS one of the leading men in town
remarked this morning, "I've been
stung for So for show not one
tenth so good as that last night "
Everybody today is loud in the praise
of the splendid production of "The
Third Degree" soul-stirring, grip
ping play, enjoyable and convincing in
the lessons it presented.
1t depicted strikingly the sweat
lng system employed by the police
department, in txtOrting thu "confes :
sion from suspected criminals. This
third degree method is common in all
cities, and is unfair and unjust. The
play exposed the politics which ma
nipulate even the police department,
and which is also common in the po-
lice courts today everywhere.
Mr.. Hall was strong in the char
acter of Robert Underwood As
the murder suspect, Mr.. James Demp-
sey filled ths bill most capably, es-
pecially in the scene where, after
seven hours of the sweating system,
in his dc bauched condition and under
hypnotic influence of the Captain of
Police, he 'confesses" to the crime
as the police wished him to. Miss
Alice Lounsbury was capably cast as
Mrs. Howard Jeffers, Sr., and her
scene with her daughte r-in-law in the
lawyers Office was especially strong
and effective.
AS Captain of Police Mr.. Cha rles
+. Ward was natural and true to
life. Certainly Mr.. Ward must have
bad "inside information as to the
EhuS anu AluBEuRN IutbuNus III Bo-
lice" reform in large cities. Miss
Myrkle was her own true, natural
self. She made the very best and
most of her thankless part, and not
once overdid it. The pathos of it all
touched the hearts of her audience.
4 OF Mr.. Jack G. Bertin, cast as
the lawyer Brewster, too much can
not be said. Blest with handsome
stage presence, striking personality.
a deep musical voice, he has been
given the first requirements for a
good actor. The others he has culti-
waited. He is splendid at all times
and strong, torceful character wher-
ever placed. 1t is pleasure to see
and hear him, and he is a valuable
acquisition to the splendid aggre ga
tion of players that compose the
Myrkle-Harder Company, filling a
weeks engagement of popular roper
toire at the Colonial Theatre.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Residents Of EastpOrt and Germantown
Must Provide Cess Pools To Drain
Refuse on Property.

In addition to the consideration
given the College creek bridge mat
ter, the story Of which is published
elsewhere in The Capital, several
other questions of public improve
merts were up before the County
Commissioners yesterday.
Determined to put stop 70 the
practice Of many residents in the sub
urbs Of the city in allowing slops and
other refuse To flow in the cutters of
the county roads, the Board adopted
an order setting forth that this must
be discontinued at once.
Eastport and Germantown are the
places particularly mentioned in the
order, and the Board states that all
residents must install cess pools or
provide some other arrangemen nts in
their property to remedy the situa-
tion. All work in this connection
must be done subject TO the approval
of the county engineer it is stated in
the order.
A petition from a number Of resi-
dents Of Eastport, asking for the in
stallation Of light at the corner Of
Jefferson and Wells streets, in the
section known as "Brashearsville, "
was placed on file for further consid-
Grafton.
The Board granted the requisition
of the Republican State Central Com
mite tor this county for the use of
the Court House for a Republican
mass meeting on the evening of Oc-
tober le.
The Board granted the petition of
the promoters OF the Laurel Fair
Association for the alteration Of the
county road leading from Laurel to
Portland, in the Fourth district. The
pc tition states that the alteration in
question could be made by closing
the public road at point about 100
yards from the bridge crossing the
Pdtuxent river, to point near the
culyert at about the westernly line of
the property of James w Muir, and
permitting the construction Of a new
road in an easterly direction.

MORE VOTERS REGISTERED.
Officials Complete Three Days Sit
lings and Figures Are Now Being
Compiled.

Yesterday was the last day for the
sittings of the registration officials in
the several precincts of the county
for the registering of new voters and
transfers of old ones, in connection
with the election to be held next
month.
The fact that the registers sat one
day prior to the primary election of
September 8. during which many new
names were enrolled on the books, il
is not expected any great increase
from the regular sittings just com
pleted. The figures are now being
compiled in the office of the Super
visors of Elections at the Court
House.
The final sitting of the registers
yesterday was for revision,of the lists
only, as new names were enrolled at
