about the same time she told another lady
friend of her Intention to go to her husband ,
lifit urged her not to disclose her whereabouts ,
as , she < ld ! not want her parents to know what
had become of her.
Mrs , Notaon'i financial troubles are alto
cited as reasons why her departure was con
ducted In so mysterious n manner , It Is well
Imown that she was considerably In debt and
this she made no secret of to her Intimate
friends. She had $4,000 life Insurance In one
company on which the had Induced one of
the members of the Hoard of Kducatlon to pay
premiums amounting to $20 , for which he has
ntver been reimbursed. She has ten days pay

SELECTING A NEW CHIEF.
Jln.trd Jlny Nnmo tlio tie IT Himd of tlio
1'lro ' Dopurl innit Today.
The Board of Flro nnd Police Commission-
era devoted two houis yesterday afternoon to
nrt executive session , which was entirely oc
cupied by a discussion of the question of tlio
appointment of a new chief of the fire de
partment. No progress was made further
tian ) was stated In The Dee of last evening.
Mr. Uedell and Assistant Chief Sailer were
called In , and It was stated that notion was
deferred for another day at the request of
Mr. Uedell. He had Inspected the houses
nnd apparatus In the northern part of the
city during the day , but wished for another
day In which to make n similar examina
tion on the south side. On this account an
adjournment was taken until this afternoon
when It is promised the new chief will be
ramed.
That Mr. Itedell has been practically se
lected for the position Is not doubted. While
none of the commissioners are willing to go
on record to that effect , there was a well un
derstood. It not tacitly worded agreement be
tween the majority of the members , that the
man who should bo recommended by Mr ,
Hartman would be elected. In fact Mr. Uedell
Is the only man who Is being seriously con
sidered for the position. At least one of the
ccmmlslsoners Is In laver of promoting As
sistant Chief Sailer to the vacancy , but as
the other members consider it ndvhabla to
bring In a new man ho Is In a decided minor
ity. There Is one application on file from Mr.
I'cletler of Kantas City and it Is stated that
one or two other men from outside cities have
been recommended , but ncne of them anj in
the race.
As far as exparlence Is concerned Mr.
Hcdell la said lo be the best qualified of
nny of the outside candidates. He was
formerly in commard of the first battalion
of the Chicago fire department , and also as
sistant marshal under Chief Swede. This
battalion Is located In the down town dls
trlct , where the best men are supposed tc
bo in service. It was staled by one of the
commissioners that his retirement from the
Chicago department was due to politic. ! )
complications , and not on account of any
fault of his own. From Chicago he went to
AVInona , Minn. , where he was chief of the
department. He remained there for a couple
of years , afler which he resigned to go Into
the cold storage business ,
When asked a direct question Mr. Hartman
declared that the Detection of Mr. Hedell was
not In his opinion assured. E\er since the
niatlcr had been taken up by the Commercial
club and the c ty council the board had been
vigorously searching for a first-class man.
He believed there was no difference of opin
ion among the members In regard to going out
of town for a candidate. He did not wish to
nvnUe any reflections on the assistant chiefs ,
but the sentiment seemel to be thai a new
man who had had an exi ended experience In
metropolitan methods would b ; more satisfac
tory.
'Mr. Strlcklor declined to express himself
definitely In regard to the matter. Ho also
referred lo UIB necesslly of making no mis
take In the selection , and said that the se
lection should not be made hurriedly.
The other members were equally reluctant
to express themselves.- There was an un
derstanding' among the members which dated
some time back , that unlll decisive action
waa tahen capji .member should bo In honor
bound to Rtvo' nrt 'Intimation of what that
nctlon would bo , ' It was not even expected
that the presence of Mr. Redelt 'In the city
would be known until atler the niatlcr had
been decided.

lucd by Edward L. Daly of the Lasters
mlon of Boston , asking congress to pass n
aw making It an offense punishable by fine
and Imprisonment for any employer to cm-
iloy during a strike or lockout of his em-
iloyos aliens wli : have resided In the United
Slates loss than ono year and who- have not
xpres&cd an Intention of becoming American
ItlzBiis. After come discussion a subsltulo
was offered that the resolution bo referred
o the Incoming executive council with In-
Irucllons to secure legal ndvlcj regarding
ho constitutionality cf such a law If passed.
Delegate Elderkln asserted that such a preceding -
ceding was useless , as no law favorable to
abor would stand In any court In the
country. Mr. Bretello sad ! lhat more laws
or the benefit of labor are useless unless
nen con be elected to. enforce uuch as now
jxlst. Mr. Evans opposed ths resolution on

nation.
Delegate Thomas J. Morgan of Chicago
iffcred an amendment that the silver mines
secured ns the property of the Kovernmenl
before llie odopllon of Iho resolullon. He
received no second.
Treasurer Lenron objecled lo Ihe preamble ,
jecause , he said. It assumed that all thi
rouble In this country was due lo the dr
monotlzatlon of silver , and moved to strike
out all except the bare declaration for th
re-enactment of the law ,
Mr. Lloyd made a slrong speech In favoi
of his resolution In Its entirety. Ho favored
primarily a government UsUe < JT nonmclailic-
nonoy , but believed Iho rcslorallon of silver
would bo n , lemporary a'.levlalloa of exlst-
hg evils.
Mr. Wolfson of "Fall Tllver offered a sub
stitute similar to the amendment of Mr. Mor
gan. It was loat , nnd Mr. Lennon's amend-

tion was adopted.

ory arbllrallon law was vigorously opposed.
Dolegale Penna moved to strlko out that
lart of the report favorlnff-seml-nnnual con
ferences with the Knights of Labor , and
made n strong speech condemnatory of that
order. The consideration of that part of the
matter was deferred until after the report
of the commitleo on conference. Wllh this
amendment the report was adopted.
GOMPERS EXPLAINS THE DEBS MATTER.

Gompers to aid him in the strike. Mr. Gem
pers explained that ho had never staled such
thing. Said he : "When , during the Chicago
cage conference I asked him 'What would
you hove the Federation of Labor do ? ' ho
iald : 'If I were In your place , I would order
the worklngmen of America to walk out. ' "
The report of the committee on secretary's

COURTS AND LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.
Hon. I. N. Stevens ot Denver was Intro
duced and delivered a short address on "The
Recent Judicial Decisions and Their Effect
Upon the Development of the Labor Organiza
tion ! . " II ; confined his remarks moitly to
the action of the federal courts In cases ot
railroads In the hands of receivers. He said
that out of thlrly decisions he hail examined
no two were all alike , oven on questions very
similar. The decltlon of Justice Harlan In
reversing the dcclilon of Judge Jenkins in
th3 Northern Pacific railway caiei was the
fairest. He saM the system of receiverships
was bated upon no law , but upon cuitom
arising In courts of equity , and had long ago
far exceeded the original Intention. Ho ad-
vlseJ the Federation to direct Its efforts to
tccurlnc national and state legislation de
fining the rlahts and duitca of corporations
and ot receivers of bankrupt companies.
The grievance committee reported on the
Loutivllle Central Labor union difficulty , BUS-
tulnlng President Gouiperi In his granting ot
the charter. The protest wai from the
Louisville Trade * assembly , which withdrew
from the Federation two years ago. The
question was referred to the executive , coun
cil for final lettlemtnt.
The committee on labels and boycott ! re
ported several decisions In support ot local
boycotts. Among them were the Arena ,
which It Is alleged ! printed by nonunion
printers. Many a < lCRalM expressed regret
at the necessity ot taking action against this
parlodlcal , which IB regarded as u very able
exponent of labor doctrines , and the matter
was finally referred to the executive council
with Instructions to declare the boycott only
at er all m > ans of bringing the pub Icalbn Into
the union had failed
An Invitation was received from the
Woman's club to attend a rec'intJii to be
given at the Albany hotel tomorrow night ,
b'Jt uron the annauncsmenl tliat fie Albany Is
not a union house the Invitation wai declined.
Tomorrow morning's session will probably
bo one of Ih * liveliest ot the conviuhn. At
10 o'clock the political program Is to come
up. The plank o\or which the great light Is
to come Is No. 10. It la as follows :
MAY CAUSE A STRUGGLE.
"Tho collective ownership by the popU of
all means of product on and distribution. " It
b supported by the socialist members nnd
they claim that on a canvass made last night
It was found thai Ihey have a majority
200 voles. It Is probable thai the opponents
of the socialist Idea , In the event that they
find themselves outnumbered , will try lo se
cure Iho adoption ot a substitute ot aeu
radical nature. It Is bcl eveJ that the dls-
cuislon ot this question and Die vote upon It
will have a strong bearing upon the election
of a presldenl. Gompers , McGuIre , Preicott
and other * who have been suggested ns can
didates are known to oppose plank 10 , while *
the Mine Workers are Its warmest advocates.
John McBrlde , president of the latter union ,
who gave Gompers a close race last year and
Is being boomed again , and though he Is nether
her ; his friends are working for him early
and late and claim that his election ts cer
tain.
Governor Walto will nol appear before the
convention. To the commltlce ent to In
vite him to speak he stated thai owing to
the great press of work he would not be able
to prepare an address , but would send a letter -
tor setting forth his views on som ? of the mat
ters trcaled In Ihe "Pollllcal Program , " which
Is lo bo considered at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. His teller will be read at that
time.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 13. The house bank-
ng and currency committee continued Its
tearing today. There was a bare majority
Df the committee present. Letlers were read
rom W. N. Dana , editor of the Commercial
and Financial Chronicle , and from R. II. I-'er-
Is , vice president of the Bank of New York.
Mr. Ferris said : "There seems to bo no
good reason why existing national banks who
mvo United States bonds on deposit with the
comptroller should not bo allowed to continue
as they are unlll their charters expire or the
leposlted bonds nre paid off. Section 7 of Mr.
Carlisle's bill seems like forcing the banks
o do what they have not been consulted
about. "
Mr. Ferris advocated the establishment of
isntral redemption agencies which would , he
bought , enhance the elasticity of circulation
used on a deposit of bonds. Referring to sec-
Ion 10 of the Carlisle bill , providing for the
ssue of notes by state banks without ti'.o pro
vision of a sinking fund , Mr. Ferris said :
"It makes the bill simply an Inflation meas-
ire modified by tlio deposit of 30 per cent
n legal tender notes and the provision of
a sinking fund lo cancel Untied Slates nolcs
o the extent of 70 per cent of new circulation
ssuo when the treasury has the means to do
t. " And he closed : "As a bill lo subslltuto
national bank notes for United Stales Issue It
B'lll be a failure , as II presents no Induce
ment to solid banks to become insurers of the
circulation of mushroom Institutions and the
itlmulant to organize state banks not sub-
eel to Unlled Slates Inspection Is question
able. "
After a sharp pasage-at-arms between Rep
resentatives Walker and Warner as to the
order In which witnesses should bo examined
n which Mr. Walker complained of criticism
by Mr. Warner , Mr. William C. Cornwall ,
resident of the New York Hanking assocla-
lon , was Introduced and read a carafully pre-
lared paper on the currency problem.
BANK NOTES IN LIEU OK GREENBACKS.
Ills recommendations were ns follows :
1. The greenback and treasury notes
should bo redeemed nnd canceled. The real
juslness cf ihe government as regards money
s to stamp upon gold and silver their fine
ness and weight. A government has no right
10 issue paper with nothing back of It and
: o make It legal tender to create a currency ,
xnd by an act of law force the people to take
: ts full value without regard to the Inlrlnslc
worth. All such Issues up to .date have
entailed trouble. The greenback and treasury
lotos are cf this character. They nre of
the government's notes to the extent of $500-
)00,000 ) , payable , .on demand , and In gold.
They have caused trouble enough already.
They are n .constant menace to the gold
resrvo. They should bo pad ! up.
2. The vacancy should bo filled with bank
notes. The beit. currency of the best natlcns
today Is mainly ] bank"noles , which are a
first class Hen jupph1 the assets of the bank.
These assets are commercial possessions , rep
resenting th&pjrod.nct ot the brain and muscle
of millions ot people. They are the wealth
of the nation.Wlmt better Ivisls for circula
tion can there bo than this the actual wealth ,
of the nation ? To fill the vacancy created'
by the retirement of the legal tenders and
as fast as theyrnro retired national banks
should be alldwed to Issue noles lo a per
centage qC.capjtftJ..V'lthout bpnd security , llie
notes to bo1 a' t'llen'tipin * the assets of the
bank. Including ; the double liability'of stock
holders , with rtCTWanty fund raade.up by all
the banks , the government conllnulng lo guarantee -
antoe and rdded/nVyiJl .notes at present. This
Is practically Ithe'-Baltlmoro plan. It Is
simple ; It is good as far as It goes and It
goes far enough for the present.
3. To perfect the system further and make
out thoi complicated an3 delicate problems
attending , this an Impartial expsrt commis
sion' shbuld' ' bo appointed.
To recapitulate-
1. Rctiro the legal tenders.
2. Let the national baplts'tuke out notes
under the Baltimore plan to replace them.
3. Appoint an Impartial expert commission
to perfect our currency system.
After the conclusion of hls paper , Mr. Corn
wall , replying to questions by Mr. Warner ,
said he thought the greenbacks and treasury
loles outstanding should ba redeemed and lhat
he would perform this redemption with low
rate bonds. He also said that he did not
consider that part .of Secretary Carlisle's plan
relating to the retirement of treasury notes
sufficiently definite.
Mr. Cornwall was questioned at much
ength. Among olhor things ho said that a
return to stata bank notes would bring about
a revival of counlerfelllng , now reduced to a
minimum.
Mr. Johnson of Ohio asked as to the effect
of redeeming the greenbacks In silver.
The witness replied that gold would at once
go to a premium.
Mr. Wllllain Dodsworth , editor of the
New York Journal of Commerce , next ad
dressed the committee.
W. DODSWORTH'S SCHEME.
He laid down these premises :
1. That the bond form of guaranty has
been found Incompatible with the elasticity
of Issue.
2. That said guaranty leaves no sufficient
margin of profit to the issuer , and consequently
quently prevents Issuing.
3. That the bonds themselves must In a
few years mature and be reissued.
4. That the government's engagement to
pay the notes Is an Illegitimate usurpation
ot power.
C. That owing to obstructive restraints ,
the volume of notes cannot bo readily aug
mented to meet public emergencies.
6. That the arrangements for Insuring
current redemptions fall of their purpose ,
thereby keeping the volume rigidly Inflexible
at the seasons when It should automatically
contracl or expand.
7. That for these reasons the national
bank circulation has shrunk to one-half of
Its former volume , while the public require
ments for money have been Increased.
He said that It would be manifestly de
sirable to adopt a course least calculated to
disturb existing banking arrangements that
need no change , but that the power of
Issuing notes should be conceded to the banks
operating under state laws , conditioned upon
the terms that they shall conform to the
terms of Issud'HInnosed upon the national
banks , thereby'securing ' from all banks a
uniform circulation. . .
Any course uhort of this would bo not
only a political Injustice , but an unwar
rantable discrimination against a classor
banks In every , way deserving the privilege ,
and upon whose , operations the business In
terests of the country are largely dependent.
The stale banksiflf iho country have a tolal
capital of aboul . ' $276.000,000 and are the cus
todians ot $750,000,000 of the people's de
posits. Their capital bears a ratio ot 36
per cent to their Jeans , while In the case of
the national banka he. proportion Is only 33
per cent. Their ratio of capital to depoilts
Is 37 per cent/ which Is Identical wllh that
ot the natlonaininslllutlons. In 1892 their
cash resources ' were In the ratio of 20 per
cent of their 'deposits , whl'e ' the national
showed 19 per cent. Upon the true tests of
relative strength-nnd of soundness of meth
ods It Is thdsvldnt that the stale banks
have a slight advantage over the national.
If the privilege of Issue Is withheld from this
class of banks , the people are thereby de
prived of the-.Urge benefits that would ac
crue to them from the use ot their notes.
IN RATIO'TO THE CAPITAL.
"To determine the maximum of circula
tion to be permitted , " ho contended , "a
uniform ratio should be established between
the permissible amount of issues and the
unimpaired paldup. capital or the paldup
capital and surpVir combined , preferably the
latter. As banks ordinarKy keep their clr
culatlon Within the limit , that limit should
bo adjusted to a supposedly normal amount ,
but allow a. liberal margin for expansion I
periods of unusual business activity , A
limit of 75 per cent would be entirely safe ,
and as the capital ot national banks It $700-
000.000 , and of state banks $275,000,000 , the
ratio would permit a maximum ratio ol
$730.000,000.
v'aro the capital and surplus combined tt
1m chosen as the standard , the ratio must b
reduced. In such case as the combined capi
tal nnd surplus ot the national and state
banks amount to about $1,410,000,000 , rt. ratio
of 60 per cent would afford an Issuing cnpac-
Icy nearly equal to 75 per cent on capital
alone. These estimates of the possible Issue
of new notes presupposes the retirement o' '
some $200,000,000 of now existing national
bank notes , so lhat the net possible Increase
of note circulation ( upon the present amount
of national and stale banking capital ) would
be $530,000,000 ; the actual Increase must and
probably would bo a very different matter.
"Should no steps be taken for retiring the
outstanding government notes , this capacity
of Issue must exceed the existing require
ment ot the business. How far thai must tend
to Induce unhealthy Inflation of the circulat
ing meJlum would depend almost entirely
upon the nature ot provision made for the re
demption of the notes , Under such arrange
ments ns are provided by the existing treas
ury redemption agency such a result would
Inevitably follow ; for the system obslructs
more than facilitates redemption. If , how
ever , congress should decree llie withdrawal
of the $500,000,000 ot treasury paper , the
new supply of bank notes would be Mono too
much to fill the vacuum. Wllh the wllh-
drawal of Ihe bond form of guaranly there
would be but ono eligible substitute , to constl-
tute the notes n first lien upon the entire as
sets of the bank , and also upon the liabilities
of the stockholders to assessment up to the
full amount of their capital stock. With Iho
combined guaranty from assets and stockhold
ers Ihe protection would bo much more ample
than that afforded by the existing deposit Qt
bonds , the only difference being that under
the methods the notes must be redeemed wllh
a degree of promptness. Considering , how
ever , thai there could bo no question about
their ultimate payment , there would be no
reason why they should not continue to cir
culate until the holders wore notified by the
receiver to present them for redemption.
FAILURES ARE INSIGNIFICANT.
"During the panic of the last year the fail
ures of national banks represented only four-
lenlhs of 1 per cent of capital , nnd In the last
thlrly years one-third of 1 per cent. Assum
ing lhat the banks were permitted to Issue
notes to the extent of 75 per rent of the cap
ital , but kept only 60 per cent , we should
have an annual crop of about $2,160,000 of In
solvent notes , which would be equivalent to a
fraction over one-fiflh of 1 per cent of the
whole banking capital. Against this would
stand n total of $4,210.000,000 of bank assets
and n stockholders' pledge of $1,000,000,000 , In
all $5,420,000,000 , upon which Ihe nolcholders
would have a first lien. The 30 per cent de
posit proposed could not be defended
upon the ground of guaranly neces-
sllles , and had Ihe objections that for
each $1,000,000 of expansion of note issues It
necessltales a contraction , of $300,000 In an-
olher form of currency. If Intended lo Indl-
reclly effect the withdrawal of government
notes from circulation , a more certain way
to get rid of that monetary excrescence would
bo to repeal the legal tender act and provide
for the final liquidation of the notes with sucH
speed as would not disturb the monetary
equilibrium. "
Ho approved the principles for the retire
ment of notes In section 9 of Mr. Carlisle's
bill , but suggested that this exercise bt made
mandatory rather than dlscrellonary with the
secretary , and that the secretary be required
when there was no surplus revenue for re
demption to borrow a sufficient amount on low
rate bonds payable at the pleasure of the
government. The 5 per cent safety fund
seemed to him to lack any occasion , except as
provision for the Immediate redempllon of
notes of a failed bank.
ABOUT RESERVE DEPOSITS.
Regarding Ihe proposal of Secrelary Carlisle
that banks be required to keep a reserve ac
count of deposits , he said that when banks are
pressed by emergencies they have more re
spect for their Interesls than to hesitate to
disregard the statute. Some panics might
have been wholly avoided had banks been
free to use their money resources according
to their dlscrcton. So thai Iho result de
signed to protect bank depositors really Im
periled them. Ho "
conllnued : "Thero Is n
conipellllon belween banks , lo occupy the field
of circulation , each one seeking to keep out
Its own notes and using the redemption
agency ns a means of putting Into retirement
the notes of Its competitors. This competi
tion Js the , truest possible regulator of a bank
note circulation. "
TJie redemption agency of national banks he
characterized as a failure , showing lhat In
1SG7 the Suffolk bank of Boston , acting as a
redemption agent for Ihe New England banks ,
cffecled $100,000,000 of redcmpllons ; that New
England with Its financial dimensions of
thirty-seven years ago had ten-fold the
amount pf redemptions now effected at Wash
ington for the whole United States. If the
agency should be near the point of Issue , he
suggested six redemption districts , the comp
troller to recommend a bank as agency in
each. The divisions would be by groups of
states , as follows : New England states , New
York , New Jersey , Delaware , Pennsylvan a ,
Maryland and District of Columbia ; southern
states. Indiana , Illinois , Michigan , Wisconsin
and West Virginia ; Iowa , Minnesota , Mis
souri Kansas and Nebraska , Pacific stales ;
other western states and territories.
HEPBURN PRESENTS HIS IDEAS.
At the afternoon session Chairman Springer
read a teller from A. B. ' Hepburn of New
York , comptroller of the 'currency and one
of the ex-advocates ot the Baltimore plan. Mr.
Hepburn wrote ns follows : "Of course , Mr.
Carlisle's provisions requiring banks taking
out circulation to deposit greenbacks and
treasury notes Is made In the Interest ot re
lieving the government and not for the bene
fit of a currency Issue. I do not know that
I have any objection to this. I would like to
see any safe course pursued which would ro-
llevo the government of Its embarrassments.
It Is by no means an unmixed blessing to
the banks , the retirement of the government
from the banking business. While It would
benefit the government and the people as a
whole , It would certainly put added respon
sibilities upon tlm banks. I am strongly
opposed to the proposition to do away with
the requirements lhat the banks keep re
serves , and my understanding of the law docs
not tally with that of the secretary. The
law , when it was drafted , as I understand
It , was based upon the experience of prudent
and well managed banks , and the reserve
was fixed at a point where prudent and well
regulated banks carried their reserve. It
was sought to fix a limit so a well managed
bank would as often bo over as under the re
serve In the regular courio of business. This
law Is made not for the nine banks who
would observe It without any legal provis
ions , but for the lenlh , that either by In
competent , speculative , or unsafe manage
ment , might fall to keep a proper reserve ,
and to keep Its finances sufficiently strong
to meet the demand that might bo made upon
It. The statement which the secretary makes
that the state banks kept 20 per cent re
serve , whereas the national banks keep only
18. I do not think Is well founded. "
Mr. Hepburn also criticized the repeal of
the 10 per cent tax on state bank notes while
levying a tax on national bank notes ; also
the forbidding ot national banks to Issue
notes for less than $10. The safety fund
should also be equally compulsory , and stale
banks should * be required to keep the same
reserve. The section ot the Carlisle bill
which provides for Imposing the 10 per cent
tax In case the bank does not satisfy the
secretary and comptroller he thinks would
be of little account. The Imposition of the
tax after a bank had failed would only
aggravate and complicate matters. He thinks
state banks designed to take out circulation
should become national banks In fact. He
closes by saying : "Tho secretary's discussion
of the financial question In general I most
cordially approve , and the conclusions he
reaches I believe are wise and sound , but
the details oC the bill he has submitted , In
my judgment , are open to serious criticism. "
The committee then adjourned until tomor
row.
AMVtSliaiKXTX.
It scarcely needed the approval of the
warm and enthusiastic audience that gain
crcd at Uoyd's last evening to- attest the
already recognized popularity of "In Old
Kentucky , " as presented by n , very capable
company under the direction of Mr. Jacob
Lltl. "In Old Kentucky" has attained a
prominence In the theater world seldom
reached In so short a time by plays of Its
class. As a comedy drama of the more ro
mantic type It has doubtless come to stay
Tor many successive seasons. It will wear
well , for It possesses a imturnlness that so
many playwrights have failed to attain.
The story of "In Old Kentucky" Is too well
known to the theater public to need repeti
tion. It Is a series of pictures nnd types ,
nnd It Is as distinctively Kentucklnn ns It
Is distinctively Ameilcan. In Colonel Snn-
dusky Doollllle , Horace Hollon and Joe
Lorey , Mr. Dazey , the author of "In Old
Kentucky , " has portrayed three distinct
types of charncler to be found no where
but In the blue grass regions , shadowed by
the smoky-blue mountains of Kentucky. The
nctlon of the play la spirited , Iho climax
not too tensely drawn , and the denouement
Inppy enough to meet the exactions of the
most critical.
The general ensemble of the company Is
excellent If anything1 , betlcr than that of
the company which gave the piece Its initial
success last season. With the exception ot
a slight but noticeable tendency on the purl
of one or two members of the company to
occasionally exchange the accent of the true
Kentucklnn for the plainer garb of xpeoch
In every day use north of Mason nnd
Dlxon's line , the'lndlvldunl work was good ,
Mr. Waller Edwards , who portrayed the
chnract ° r of Joe Lorey , the impetuouj young
moonshiner , sustained the burden of Die
story at the critical Junctures In Ihe plot ,
nnd very cleverly avoided a natural tendency
lo overdraw the heavier portion of his work.
Miss Lulu Tabor , as Madge Hrlcrly , carried
the lending role nnd easily won Ihe enllre
sympathy of the audience. Mr. Clark ,
around whom centered the larger part % of
the Interest of the slory. was natural ns
Colonel Sandusky Doollttle , the true Ken
tucky gentleman , nnd he gave to his part
a flavor as distinct as that of the mint
Jullps of which he was so fond. HP sus
tained the prlncljuil comedy role nnd left
but little for the critic to carp over.
The other parts were well carried by Fred
eric Hess , Frank E , Jamison nnd Charles
Webster. The plckanlnnnles were ns clever
as of yore , nnd caught the galleries ns easily
as ever. Above nil , the play Is well staged ,
some of the effects alone being features of
the play worthy of nollce.
