MARTHA

The Harmonic Society will give
an opera entitled Martha in the
Tabernacle two evenings; the first
Wednesday, June 2nd, the second,
Monday, June 7th.
Martha, the ever popular" as II
Is known in England, is supposed
10 date back TO the time OF Queen
Anne, or the early part Of the eigh-
tcenth century.
The scene is laid in the old mar
ket town Of Richmond, in Yorkshire.
Lady Harriet, maid OF honor TO
the queen, wearied Of the conven-
iional pleasure Of the court con-
ccives a plan for diversion. Dis
guised as menials, she and her maid
and a rather aged and fopish cousin,
Sir Tristram, go TO Richmond Fair
with a band Of servants who are
seeking employment.
There these frolicsOme danes
meet two farmers, Plunket and his
foster-brother, Lionel. The latter
waif left at the door Of plunket,
with nothing but a ring TO identify
him. This ring, in case Of great
need, is TO be used 10 prove his
royal lineage, of which he himself
is not yet aware.
In Jest the ladies hire themselves
Ia the farmers as servants, and car
ry the joke so far as TO accept the
"hansel," or legal earnest money"
Trisiram, disgusted with the
whole affair, purchases release
from their torments and bids the
ladies go home; but Lionel and
plunket insist upon their rights
under the law, and the maids are
obliged to go with the farmers.
At the farmhouse an attempt is
made 10 set the women TO work,
but all in vain, and The men are
obliged TO instruct them, even in
the simple art of spinning. Lionel
loses his heart TO Martha, who at
his solicitation sings The Last
Rose of Summer" The clock strikes
midnight and the men go TO bed,
while the women are rescued by
Sir Tristram.
In the next scene the foster
brothers find their escaped servants.
Marthas and Nancy. in the hunting
train Of Queen Anne. They assert
their supposed rights, but are re-
pulsed and Lionel laments the
harshness Of Harriet who had mas
queraded only TO make mock Of
his peace of mind. Lady Harriet
asks pity for Lionel from the cour-
tiers who come TO her aid, on the
ground that he is insane.
In his despair he sends the ring
tC the queen and is identified as the
Earl of Derby who was banished.
though guiltless Of the offense with
which he was charged.
Despite her apparent harshness
Lady Harriet loved Lionel, even be-
fore the discovery of his high rank.
Now she seeks to throw herself into
his arms, but he, whose mind has
been turned away by his suffer-
ings, repulses her.
Harriet plans remedy by bring
ing back the scene OF their first
meeting. The fair scene is reenact-
ed, and amid its merriment reason
returns to the lover, and with il
happiness.
Roguish Nancy becomes the prize
Of Plunket, and a scene of general
rejoicing ensues.

And Allah said unto them, Get ye
hence TO Gahenna and dwell there
forever. And for season you shall
be the servants Of the two thieves
who robbed you, and they shall be
your masters and rule over you and
you shall be unto them as hewers
of wood and drawers of water. And
after a season l will pardon the two
thieves, for they robbed only the
rich and the robbers. But ye shall
abide in torment foreverl"
This parable sheweth that in tho
far places Of the Earth there hath
been much wickedness.

CUBAN IS SOUGHT

Palatka Fla, July 26.-Henry Fer nandez. a Cuban, who formerly worked here and whose whereabouts have been sought because mans blue serge coat bearing the label of a Palatka firm and the name "Fefnandez' was connected by police with the Detroit New York trunk murder mystery. had been in De- troit, according to information obtained here tonight from persons with whom he was said to have corresponded. De- tails as to the mans present where could not be obtained.
 The coat found in the trunk with the woman's body. was said to bear the label Browning -Fearnside. Palatka.' Information obtained yesterday was to the effect that records of firm of that name here showed Henry Fernandez had bought clothes from this concern disclosed that 1t was another Fernan- dez who was shown on the books to have purchased clothing from this company.
 The Fearnside Clothing Company another firm here. was said. however to have records showing Henry Fer nandez had purchased clothing from them. It was pointed out the Fernandez sought in connection with the murder might have made purchases here on a cash basis, leaving no record of such transactions. Henry Fernandez left here eighteen months ago.

DETECTIVE ON WAY

Interest locally in the trunk murder mystery was centered last night on the arrival of a special detective from De- troit to enlist the aid of Allen A. Tatum of Birmingham in locating Eugene Leroy, who is believed to have com mitted the crime. The detective left Detroit yesterday morning and should arrive in Birmingham some time today
 Besides the efforts to locate Leroy interest was being centered on at temps to determine the real identity of the girl whose mutilated body was found in the trunk shipped from De- troit to New York. Officials are work ings on the clue that she is Katherine Jackson of Starkville, Miss. wife of Eueene Leroy. her alleged slayer.
 Tatum has stated that he would gladly go back to Detroit if any as sistance could be rendered in clearing up the case. However. it is thought that the detective from Detroit is coming here with the idea of getting full in- formation possessed by Tatum and not to carry him back to Detroit.
 A number of letters and notebooks have been turned over to the detective department by Tatum. They show that Tatum knew the womans address in Detroit and that evidently the woman wrote it herself The name of Mrs. F Leroy. 9S Trumball street, appears in one of the notebooks. Tatum states that he knew Mrs. Trumbull. Detec- tive Moreland. who is investigating the case, also has several personal letters of Tatum. All this material will be turned over to the Detroit detective upon his arrival here.
 Tatum. linotype onerator. who lives at S22 South Twentieth street. told the detectives that he believes he is the victim of frame up" He thinks that F. Lerovs killed the woman and shipped her to A. A. Tatum in New York
 Local detectives are of the opinion that the mystery will not be solved until I.eroy~fs found. The efforts of the Detroit detective will be to get all assistance possible from Tatum that will furnish a clue for the arrest of Leroy.
 Technically, Tatum is being held by the police but no charge has beer made against him. Since Tatum walked into detective headquarters Saturday and made the statement that he knew the slain girl he has been allowed lib erty most of the time, but has declined to comment further on the case.

STARTED ON BORROWED MONEY

He started with borrowed money and a consolidation of two nearly defunct Dayton newspapers and developed a highly successful publication on that basis. It takes a sense of front pages to do that. Cox, with his paper, ar rested public attention. Rather vio- lent epithets strung across his edi- torial page until he reached the gov ernorship and it became necessary to exercise restraint. His quarrels may not always have been just. but they were popular and they cost him little, it is said, in libel suit verdicts.
 Dayton has a benevolent autocrat, J. H. Patterson, of the cash register company. The town profited by his benovelence, but resented his autoc- racy. Cox never tired of telling the community of his autocracy and the town bought Coxs paper all read it.. That is not the whole stor5 but it is an outstanding feature of the story The penalty of having a sense of front pages is that people always question whether you will not yield to the temptation of sensationa Ism to reach them, and people do ss.> ,nat question about Cox, especially the, mo con servative people, not louuiy, &s if it were an action surely to be eXaected, but doubtfully.
 His newspaper makers instinct will help change the political ps..,- ology of the American people if he eeps himself in hand. No one else Nili .Aeo him in hand. He is the nisste, of 1hs democratic campaign. He alone will make it if it can be made. The opinion here is that to make it is beyond the capacity even of highly energetic. re- sourceful ambitious man.
 Politics aside to say it again. How this highly energetic, resourceful, am bilious man meets this emergency is the most humanly interesting thing now before this country.

mailed out he stated that 5000 had been heard and of this number 125 had appealed and this number might be slightly increased.
 He declared that some of the largest real estate concerns had not yet ap- peared before the board of tax adjust. CTS with reference to the increased as- sessment. As they represent a large number of property owners, he stated that hearing of their cases would probably consume day each. Before the final returns of the board can be certified he stated this work must be concluded.
 The tax assessor stated that post ponement of the hearing of appeals by the board until even the middle of Au- gust would make it impossible for his office to complete the work on the as- sessment sheets in time to nave them bound and turned over to the tax col lector on September 15. as required by law.

 Chairman Dryer of the board of tax adjusters requested the board of rev enue to postpone the hearing of ap- peals until the last Monday in August in order that additional time could be given the adjusters to complete their work and make their citations of ap- peals to the board of revenue.
 It was decided to ask the state tax commissioner to appear before the board with MT. Dryer, the tax assessor and the tax collector and agree on an ultimate date to begin the hearings.

 T am quite afraid that this is early for you to be up."
 "Oh, no; not at all," replied his guest. T am often up at this time in the morn- ing. This is the time I usually think about going to bed"
 The governor plays as he works hard and so as not to let his play interfere with his work he plays early.
 For the big job of putting himself over with the American public, the governor has one quality at /least-a tremendous capacity to work. His secretary, Charles Morris. brought out to him from Colum- bus Saturday several volumes which ne evidently intended to use in working up his speech of acceptance. The governor took them not negigently as one glad to put off the evil hour when he mus dig into them, but with the absorbed manner of one who was never far away from his work
