Chicago. Nov. 22.-Hog prices tended
to ease down today owing to the fact
that buying was restricted, especially
so on the part of packers.

Cattle.
There was fair inquiry for cattle.
General quality was as good as any
time recently and the spread in prices
was the narrowest n months. with
evidence Of going TO get even narrow

ALLIGATOR Got the Uniform.

A traveller returned from the Congo
river, Africa, tells the following story:
On one occasion the chief and natives
paid n visit to the steamer In state.
The chief expressed a keen desire to
have some sort of European uniform,
and the captain afterwards took him
one Of an elaborate pattern. The
chief subsequently disappeared mystic
riously. In leaving the steamer he had
to wade through part Oh the river
infested with alligators, and after O
number Of these had been killed the

" The Thirteenth
Chair Clanmy
But Thrilling

Thrilling, gripping, and even
'clammy" beyond description. The
12th Chair" Bayard VeiIer's new
est melodrama, held an audience in
almost breathless suspense through
three tense acts at the Oliver last
evening. Wonderfully played by a
cast Of excellent players headed by
Annie Russell. the piece was un-
doubtedly one of the most success
full from a technical point of view
ever presented in South Bend
Considered from the point of view
OF entertainment, pure and simple
of course, there are varying tastes
To be taken into account Those
who want mystery and thrills could
ask for nothing more than The
18th Chair"
The play has been eXcellently
conceived. There is no mystery
about it's success. Nothing better
of the sort has been offered to pres
ent day theatergoers. Carefully WOW
en- about a most battling crime, the
plot winds its way through endless
ramifications, with the usual false
clews and a most thrilling denoue-
ment. The spiritualistic element
has been introduced so effectually
that those who are prone 10 believe
ia some manifestations of spirit con-
troll may find their beliefs sustained,
yet those who know better" have a
perfectly plausible solution of the
plot provided without any assist
ance from the supernatural world.
The play is saved from criticism by
scoffers in the fact that the solution
of the mystery is very patiently
reached without superhuman aid
In the very capable cast there
were many players of extraordinary
ability Annie Russell, the featur-
ed one, presented the role of the
medium in a very convincing man
ner. and wove about il an attrac-
tiveness that was compelling. One
believed her when she ingenuously
declared that she had never used
her extraordinary facility with tricks
to harm anyone.
Dewitt G.. Jennings as Inspector
Donohue. gave one of the most strik-
ing Characterization of a detective
OF the modern school that could well
be imagined. The public who come
little in contact with detectives may
draw their own distinctions between
the detective of fiction and the
stage and the detective Of real life,
but Jennings surely came very near
10 the general idea of what an eff
ficient police inspector should be,
at least, in his Characterization
Willard Vincent had his big op-
portunity in the denouement, his
confession OF the two successive
murders being a masterpiece Of
melOdramatic acting and the final
big punch" in this play of
punches" Every one of the other
roles was admirably presented.
Have YOU ever, on a dreary night,
with the wind bowling outside. the
rain scattering against the windows.
put down your copy OF The Hound
OF the Baskervilles." or Murders in
the Rue Morgue," after having fol
lowed the mystery with breathless
eagerness. and realized for the first
time that you were alone in the
house and il was midnight. Well,
that's the impression OF The 18th
Chair"
