OPERA NEXT WEEK.
Company to be Composed Entirely of
Alexandrians.

Much favorable comment has been
occasioned by the fact that it has
rot been necessary to go outside OF
Alexandria for either principals or
chorus for the production of the MI
kado to be given by Sharps and Flats
January 18th and 10th. This ought to
be gratifying indeed to everybody in
the city, even those who are only
slightly interested in the production.
AS has been the case in every per-
formance by this popular organiza-
ton, Mrs. Matthew w. O'Brien, a
leader of unchallenged ability, will
again conduct the opera, which in it
self assures a successful production,
and it is agreed that the music loving
people of this city, owe to Mrs.
O'Brien no. small amount of recogni-
ton and appreciation for her earnest
efforts in developing talent which
would otherwise remain obscure so far
as the stage is concerned.
AS has been previously stated the
large sale of seats, in view of the
fact that the sale did not start until
night before last, is unprecedented,
and a packed house for both perform
ances is assured.

STRANDED FAMILY.
Footsore, Weak and Penniless After
Long Tramp.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 9.-Pennless,
footsore and weary after a long tramp
over rough and muddy roads all the
way from Chester. Pa, to this city
enroute for Norfolk, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Roberts and their 2-year-old
child are being looked after by the
local Salvation Army, to whom they
applied for aid, until the necessary
funds for the trio's transportation can
be raised At present they are stay
ing at the Arny's Relief Station, 1705
Fleet Street.
Several weeks ago the little family,
which formerly resided in Norfolk,
left that city for Philadelphia. where
a position was promised Roberts. How
ever, when they arrived there, the
young man learned that the position
had been filled. With what little
funds they had they secured board
ing house, and in the meantime the
young man searched the city for
place of employment, but his efforts
were unavailing. Thoroughly dlscour-
aged, they started for Chester, Pa,
with the expectation of finding some
work there, but they did not meet with
success. AS the days wore the prices
of food for the little family of three
quickly took the remaining funds they
had so they decided to return to Nor
folk.
After trying to raise enough money
to purchase tickets to Norfolk, and
being unsuccessful, they finally decid-
ed to walk, and they reached here late
Monday afternoon. They were COM
pelled to seek aid at the headquarters
of the Salvation Army.
Yesterday afternoon a letter was
sent to the young mans parents in
Norfolk notifying them of the little
family,s plight in this city. In the
meantime efforts are being made by
Major Escott, head of the local army
to raise enough money to send them
hack totheir home.

ven, near Uniontown, Pa, was alone
in her home a few nights ago with
her one-year-old daughter, who was
u, when man armed with revolver.
appeared at one of the windows and
demanded that Mrs. Johnson open the
door. Instead Of complying the wo-
man began barricading the door, at
the same time screaming for help. The
intruder knowing the nearest neigh
Dor was 300 yards distant, battered at
the door and Mrs. johnson ran to a
second-story window, raised it and con
tinued her cries for help. Her cries
were heard by a woman passing along
the road, who hastened toward the
Johnson home. Just as she reached
the gate the man broke open the door,
but seeing the woman approaching he
ran.
The neighbor entered the house and
found Mrs. Johnson lying dead on the
floor. She had fallen on her little
daughter and the latter was uncon-
scious. When doctor arrived he said
Mrs. Johnson had died from fright and
that the child could not live. A short
time later officers arrested w. II.
Simmons, young man who has been
working in Cheat-Haven for some
time. He was found in a barn and
had loaded revolver.
The alarm having been spread, farm
ers and others focked to the scene
and when Simmons was captured and
they became convinced of his guilt
they attempted to take him from his
captors. They succeeded in tearing
off nearly all his clothing and he was
struck on the head with a club, but
the officer succeeded in getting Sim
mons into an automobile in which he
was taken to the Unsontown Jail.

Horse Thieves Drowned.

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-Four men,
who stole horse and carriage from
the stable of F. H. Lloyd, at Salem,
N. j., were drowned in Delaware bay
Tuesday night, when, in the dense fog,
they drove off the wharf at Penns-
vile.
When the fog lifted yesterday, ono
body was found floating near the
wharf. There were four mems hats
floating near It, showing beyond doubt
the police say, that three others met
ike fate. The body was taken in
charge by Coroner Hitchner, of Salem
county, but up until midnight, it had
not been identified.
Lloydis horse and carriage wore tax
en- Tuesday night, and when ne dis
covered his loss yesterday, Lloyd, who
is miller. instituted search. Tho
trail led to Pennsyille.
While he was searching in the town..
boy, who had been on the wharf, re-
por. ed that a drowned horse was
floating in the bay. Lloyd and seVe-
raj citizens Investigated. and ne de-
clsred that the horse was his. Ths
carriage was floating some distance,
away.
The Pennsxille roads leads to the
wharf and it is believed that the horse
thieves were unaware of the fact In
the fog they could not see moro than
few yards ahead, and it is believed
that they had driven too close to the
waters edge before realizing their
danger. Before they had chance to
stop the horse, the animal plunged
into the water, dragging the csrrlsgs
and its occupants after it.
Search was continued all day tor
the remaining bodies, but no trace Of

Rallnting For Senator.

Boston Jan. 9-Massachusetts re-
publican legislators today will ballot
10 name a candidate to succeed U. 5.
Senator w. Murray Crane. Claims OF
Lieutenants for Congressman John
w. Weake and Samuel A. Mccall that
these two men led just before the Re-
publicans opened their caucus today
were admitted to managers of other
candidates, but the latter declared that
the rule requiring two-thlrds vote
and the fierce, though friendly rivalry
between the two leading candidates
will prevent the nomination OF either.
Ex-Governor Draper Curtis Guild,
Ambassador to Russia, and Joseph b.
Plunkett, avowedly progressive Re-
publican were the others who have
openly declared themselves candidates.
The dark horse list was long, headed
by Secretary of the Navy Meyer,
whose name was persistently men
toned despite statements from him
that he is thinking Of the navy and
not the senatorship. Robert Luce,who
was defeated by David |. Walsh, the
Democrat for reelection, as Llenten-
ant Governor, was another of the
many whose managers hoped for a
deadlock which seemed strong pro-
liability.

CREEK DYNASTY Is..
SAID T0bE IN PERIL
Failure to Secure Islands in
Aegean Sea May Result
in Revolution.
INSISTS ON CLAIMS.
Turkish ENJOYS in Conference Order
ed to Hold Out Against Demands of
Balkan Federation.

London, Jan. 9-Failure of the
Greek Peace plenipotentiaries to OBJ
tain the Aegean Islands from Turkey
probably would precipitate a revolu-
ton in Greece that would depose King
George and overthrow the present
dynasty.
That was the statement made today
by NJ. Venizelos, Premier of Greece
and chief Of the Greek peace dele
ga es, when asked his country's at
titude on the triple alliances prob
able proposal that the allies insist on
the surrender of Adrianople, but allow
Turiev to retain the Aegean Islands.
III Greek delegation authorizes
the public ztatment that we shall in
siEt on the cession to Greece of the
Islands of Imbros, Lemnos, Tenedos,
Mtylene, Chios, Cos and Rhodes"
said Venizelos. "Our failure to get
those islands would precipitaie rev
olution that would overthrow the en-
tire government"
Fresh instructions today came from
the Porte to the Turkish ENJOYS, and
il was semi-of1iciaHy stated that the
Ottomans were ordered persistent to
hold out against the demands Of the
Balkan allies until the great powers
actually intervene. The Turks then
would submit 10 the loss of Adria-
nople, not to the demands of the al
lies, but by way of bowling to the
will of the European Powers, thus
saving their dignity.
It was learned today from high
authority in close touch with the
situation that the Aegean Islands are
to be given to Greece, in conformity
with the proposals of the triple en-
tente, in the event that the powers
intervene.

STRIKE AUGMENTED.
Efforts to Make Cooks and Walters of
Hotels Quite in SYMPATHETIC Move
ment.
nent.

New York, Jan. 9.-With more
than 100000 garment workers de-
rving all efforts to arbitrate thler
grievances and the leaders of the In
ternational Hotel Workers Union
making a widespread attempt to
call out the cooks and walters in the
city. the police were facing real
work today.
The strike of the garment workers
was augmented today by the walk
out of $4,000 white goods makers.
In addition to sporadic efforts OF
the striking walters to call out all
their fellows who remained at their
pest in the hotels caused the police
to put heavy guards around all the
principal points of attack to prevent
repetition of last nights scenes of
violence.
Two union leaders who dined at the
Astor and then tried to call out the
walters by blowing their whistles and
shouting "strike" were seized by hotel
detectives and hustled to the cellar.
When they were taken to the police
station few minutes later their faces
bore evidence of rough treatment.
1t was this disturbance that brought
the walters up from their unon head
quarters in a rush and resulted il a
rush in an attack on the hotel and the
arrest of ~ strikers by The police
reserves.
