 Curtain goes up again in five min utes,' said the neighbor
 "'Blame me if I don't stay and sec t!' declared the other With convic- tion. I like these here plays!'
 "He went out and bought a. fresh seat. The second act pleased him anc he bought third seat. The third act pleased him and he bought a. fourth seat. He went away from the theatre satisfied in the belief that he had seen four plays, for each of which a separ- late ticket of admission was necessary. If it had been Chinese play he would Ihave been buying tickets yet, for that man was unsuitable once he got start ed.'

 After the matinee at leading thea tre enc evening, normal looking man stopped at the ticket window and said:
 "I wish you would send suit of the underwear around to my hotel
 "What underwear? gasped the as tonished ticket seller. We do not know of any underwear
 "'But it Is here on your programme,' persisted the man.
 "So saying he produced copy of the programme and pointed out the ad- vertisement of well known haber- da sher and it took some time to con- vince him that the theatre did not deal in the articles advertised in the pro- eramme.
 ''Not long ago an elderly lady who probably read everythings in the pro- sramme with the greatest of care ap- preached, the doorman in obvious trouble '

 It was stated by those who first ex- amined MT. Alexander that the blow from the iron bolt was such q heavy ono that the holt remained imbedded in the skull and there was q gaping hole where the large iron nut had penetrated.
 officers Rochelle and Mullins were the first on the scene, about 10 minutes fol- lowing the assault and robbery. As Mrs, Alexander could not talk, the shock hav ing completely prostrated her, the police were able to do little, as they could se- cure no description of the negroes.
 The tragedy was reported to police headquarters by the officers and Sergeant Darnell turned the case over to Detee- tives Moser and Garner for investigation.
 Coroner Charles L. Spain was notified of the death of Alexander about l:@ o'clock and the details of the killing and he commented in a characteristic man. ner.

 However, it appears that they were particularly daring in entering the Alex ander store, which is only few blocks from the heart of the city. And then, again, think of the ignorance and saw agery of the negro in ruthlessly killing a valued citizen for the paltry sum of $lh. It is terrible to think about

His friends were greatly shocked to hear the news of his death last night. He is survived ov his widow. The funeral ar arrangements will be announced later.

It was afterwards made clear that they could not have been French.
 To Attack Airships
 "The orders of the Royal Flying corps are to attack Zeppelins and there is some disappointment at the absence of those targets.
 The following special order was issued today to the troops by Field Marshal Sir John French:
 f once more I have to express my deep appreciation of the splendid behavior of the army under my command through out the great battle of the .Aisne and the battle of the Marne. which finally ended in the precipitate flight of the enemy.
 :" I am unable to find adequate words in which to express the admiration 1 feel for their magnificent conduct
 The French armies on our right and left are making good progress, and 1 feel sure that we have only to hold on with tenacits to the ground We have won for a very short time longer when the allies again will be in full pursuit of a beaten enemy. The self-sacrificing devo- tion and splendid spirit of the British army in France will carry all before it. ''
