Two New Plays.—The annual benefit en- tertainment of the Legion of Loyal Women was given last evening at Alien’s Grand Opera House.

Schrader, beth Wash- ington men. “Her Last Rehearsal” was Mr. Holcomb’s effort, and it proved popular from the start. It is replete with striking bits of humor and naturalism, and ts, in fact, a sketch within a sketch. It was well : for by Miss Franklyn Lynch, Mr. and Mr. Boag. Mr. Schrader’s ‘A Propesal by Proxy,” was produced by “a cast composed of Mr. Dupont, Miss Downing, Mr. Boag and Miss Allen, and Was as entertaining and pleasing ag_the other feature of the entertainment. Of e3- pectal interest was the interpolation of the baleony scene from “Romeo and Juli excellently interpreted by Mr. William Boag and Miss Franklyn Lynch, Mr. Boag also acted as stage manager, and was pre- sented by the Legion of Loyal Women with en immense basket of American beauty roses. The house owded and many notable people and societies occupied boxes. ‘The entertainment the most successful annual affair ever given by the legion. Dr. Stafford’s Lecture Tonight—The sale of reserved seat tickets at Allen's Grand Opera House for the lecture this evening by the Rev. D. J. Stafford, D.D., on the subject “Christopher Columbus; His Geni- us and Inspiration,” Indicates that the ture, besides being a literary and. social success, which is already assured by the ability and reputation of the lecturer and by the number of distinguished people who have signified their intention to be present, will also yield the Athletic Association of orgetown University, in whose behalf the lecture will be given, ‘a good sum for the support of athteties. It has been arranged to have the clergy of the city occupy special seats on the stage. In this lecture Dr. Staf- ford will doubtless present to the audience 4 complete picture of the mind of Columbus. He will trace the idea from its beginning through all its stages of development to its final completion in the mind of Columbus. This greatest event in the world’s history will give the distingulshed doctor scope and opportunity for all his powers, —— WOMAN'S CLU Third Biennial Meeting of the Fed- eration at Louisville.

Salt Lake Police Still on the Lookout for Him, No positive information has yet reached the officials at Salt Lake, Utah, as to the whereabouts of the Rev. Francis Herr- man, the suspected perpetrator of a number of crimes, although the police department has been alert for the past five days for some clue that would as- sist in locating him. It is believed that if Herrman were innocent of the appalling crime of which he is charged, he would certainly telegraph his friends in Salt Lake to that effect. The officers now assert openly that never before have they been able to forge so complete and strong a chain of circumstantial evidence in any case of great concern as in this. They are directing their efforts to learn what became of Annie K. Samuelson. Scme time ago Herrman presented to the wife of Rev. Moore a package of handkerchiefs, which, he sald, formerly belonge to his wife. One of the handker- chiefs bears the initials “A. K. 8.,” which are those of Miss Samuelson. ———— see. Assaulted Daughter-in-law. Ira Sanborne of Philadelphia attempted to murder his daughter-in-law, Bella San- borne, late Tuesday night by beating her head almost to a jelly with a coupling pin and then setting fire to the bed upon which the insensible woman and her six-months- old child were lying. He then tried to com- mit suicide by forcing a shoemaker's needle into his bedy. The child was so badly burned that it died yesterday and there is no hope of Mrs. Sanborne’s recovery. San_ borne was arrested yesterday, and con- veyed to a hospital for the insane, where he is under police surveillance. The San- borne family resided at 128 South 5th street, and from all appearances lived happily together. —__+eo___ Mexican Band Can’t Come.
