Cellar's Illusion mt English's.
The magician, Kellar, gave his entertain
ment at English's Opera House last even
ing, showing several new illusions besides
most of those that he had made known in
past seasons. In the first part he displayed
his skill In sleight of hand, changing the
colors of handkerchiefs, shooting rings
from a pistol into a locked box and pre
senting them to their owners on the stems
of cut roses, and at the close he caused a
globe to roll up or down on a narrow In
clined plane as he ordered and apparently
without assistance. Another new trick was
done with a lamp, at which he shot after
covering It with a cloth through which the
light plainly shone causing it to disappear
and the cloth to collapse to the glass table
on which the lamp had stood.
The larger illusions, mechanically accom
plished, consisted In the suspension of a
girl in the air, a hoop being passed around
her as a test; "How to Get Rid of a Wife."
the disappearance of a young; woman sit
ting in a chair elevated to mid-air by a
windlass and scaffold; the Hindoo clock,
made of a plate of glass and one hand.
Which announced the week-day of dates
called out by the spectators; the projection
of a girl Invisibly through the air from one
cabinet to another, both suspended from
the filet. A mysterious agent in a small
cabinet directed a hand of euchre played in
the audience. A young woman, a mind
reader, calculated the cubes of numbers
that seemed not to be communicated to her,
and gave the numbers of paper money
without her seeing the bills. Kellar con
ducted the entertainment with his regular
skill, ease, alacrity and blandness. and his
patrons were mystified, diverted and admir
ing. The performance will be repeated on
this and to-morrow evenings and to-morrow
afternoon.
Preparations for Ben-Hnr."
The sale of seats for the nineteen per
formances of "Ben-Hur," to be given at
English's, during the two weeks following
this, began yesterday morning, and until
evening there was a line of buyers from
the box-office window to varying distances
on the sidewalk. James Jay Brady, the
representative of Messrs. Klaw & Er
langer, said it was the J-rgest first-day
sale that "Ben-Hur" had had in this coun
try. The sales were well scattered through
the two weeks, and the average of rows
sold on the ground floor was nine. The
balcony was practically sold out. There
are. of course, many good seats behind the
ninth row. especially as Ben-Hur" is
principally spectacular. Five of the nine

THE LIFE OF
The Man Behind the Desk.
"Coffee soaked me hard for about three
years and I was troubled with indigestion,
headaches and drowsiness; I had no appe
tite and could not sleep and I was steadily
losing flesh all the time.
'"I had spent a small fortune on medi
cine and doctors" bills; I consulted several
doctors, one told me that I had liver

numerous complaints, but none helped me

as a part of my miserable existence, giving
up all hope of ever being myself again.

to office work, which precluded sufficient
bodily exercise and the eating of nonnour

tier MarrUffe Vow" mt the Park.
In "Her Marriage Vow," a melodrama
being acted at the Park Theater, the son
of a railroad superintendent attempts to
deceive and ruin the daughter of a locomo
tive engineer, after he has been married
to her, by persuading her that their mar
riage was not legal. He has tired of her
and desires another young woman. He does
not stop short of attempts at murder and
train wrecking to rid himself of the en
gineer's daughter, but he falls In all of his
enterprises and is himself destroyed. These
are usual incidents in melodrama, but there

has been demented by a beating adminis
tered to him by the villain and has there
after served him This 'tool" recoils upon
his master finally and hurls him over a
cliff, thus avenging others and himself.
He is named "Daffy Dan," and is imper
sonated by Henry Buckler with such skill
and intensity as to stir the audiences to
fervent excitement. The scenes of the play
are the home of the wronged girl, her
apartment in Boston and a railroad cross
ing near the cliff at which "Daffy Dan"
kills the villain after the latter vainly has
attempted to cause a collision between two

ew Plays In Washington.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20 Two new plays
had their first productions here to-night.
At the new National Theater the Japanese
play, "The Darling of the Gods." with
Blanche Bates in the leading role, was
produced to a packed house, and at the
Columbia Theater Andrew Mack's admirers
welcomed him in "The Bold Soger Boy."
"The Darling of the Gods." written by
David Belasco and John Luther Long, deals
with the Samurai, or two-sword men,
against whom the Emperor of Japan issued
the historic edict of 1871, commanding them
to give up their swords. From a scenic
viewpoint, the production rivaled in splen
dor anything ever seen on a Washington
stage. The costumes were rich and gor
geous and the electrical effects decidedly
unique. The musical setting, composed by
William Fürst, was heartily applauded.
The play throughout is original and has
the coloring of old Japan. Miss Bates, in
the character of Yo San. the daughter of
the Prince of To San, had a difficult role,
but made a success. Other well-known ac
tors who appeared in the play are Charles
Walcot, George Arllss, Robert T. Haines,
Albert Brüning and Gaston Mervale.
Andrew Mack's new play was written by
Theodore Burt Sayre. Mack has the role
of Lieutenant Adair, a young officer in the
I'nlted States army. He has a number of
new songs.

ANOTHER BOY GROUND IP
WILLIAM Kl'IKNs, A MESSENGER,
FELL INDER THE WHEELS.
With Others Was Jumping On and Off
Moving Street Cars Every
Done Broken.
Another boy was ground beneath the
wheels of a street car last night at 7:30
o'clock. William Keims, a messenger em
ployed by the Postal Telegraph Company,
met his death underneath a College-avenue
car at Maryland and Meridian streets. It
is the second accident within twenty-four
hours by street cars. Young Keirns was
horribly mangled. There was scarcely a
bone in his body that was not broken.
Keirns, with a number of other boys, had
been hopping on the cars running on South
Meridian street. Several witnesses said
the boys had been Jumping on and off the
cars. Young Keirns and three other com
panions boarded College-avenue car No. 417,
in charge of Motorman Edward Lawson
and Conductor Frank Drexel. The car
was going at a good speed and when the
boys Jumped on Conductor Drexel told
them to get off. Young Keirns and an
other boy had been riding in the vestibule
of the front end. When Conductor Drexel
shouted at the boys Keirns and his com
panions leaped off. Along the street-car
tracks the Merchants' Heating and Light
Company are putting in conduits and a
pile of sand and dirt parallels the tracks
for some distance. William Keirns stumbled
as he fell in the sand. He was thrown
forward, his head falling under the rear
trucks.
Two wheels passed over the center of his
body and crushed every bone. "When the
conductor and motorman attempted to take
the body from under the car It was found
that the left leg was wound around the
shaft supporting: the rear motor. The body
was taken to the morgue and later to
Kregelo's undertaking rooms. The boy
was seventeen years old and lived with
his mother at room No. 19, Ryan block,
Capitol and Indiana avenues.

TRUSTEES' MEETING ENDS
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES READ
M) ACTED I POX.
Recommendations Concerning: Roads
and Ditches An Address by Pearson
Mendenhall, of This County.
The twelfth annual meeting of the In
diana Trustees' Association was concluded
in the House of Representatives yester
day afternoon. The most important busi
ness of the session was transacted late in
the afternoon when the reports of com
mittees were read and acted upon. The
committees on resolutions, schools, ditches
and salaries of trustees made important
reports, which were concurred in by the
association.
The committee on salaries of trustees
made a report as follows: "That this body
instruct its legislative committee to use
all honorable means to have the law so
amended that the per diem be increased
from $2 to $3 per day.
"That the law relating to tenure of office
of the trustee be so amended that the
trustee be made eligible to re-election.
"That the law relative to the time of
making the annual settlements be so
amended that the making of township tax
levy and the annual settlement be changed
to the first Tuesday in August of each year,
thereby making the year end on July 31."
The committee on resolutions submitted
a report somewhat similar to the foregoing
report. The committee suggested that the
salary of trustees be increased and that
they be made eligible to re-election. The
committee on resolutions also recommend
ed: "That the present method of handling
text-books is highly unsatisfactory and we
recommend that some method be fixed of
securing better books for the schools."
COMMITTEE ON DITCHES.
The committee on ditches also made an
important report recommenuing: "That re
pairs of public ditches be left in the hands
of the township trustees as at present; that
the trustee be allowed to let the contract
for the repairs of ditches to the lowest re
sponsible bidder and the costs of the same
be placed upon the tax duplicate and col;
lected as other taxes are collected."
The report of the committee on roads was
read and considered section by section, the
association adopting the report in full. The
committee reported as follows:
"Our road laws should be fully and com
pletely codified.
"That $2.50 should be allowed for a day's
work of eight hours with driver and team,
and 11.25 should be allowed for a day of
eight hours for a man working out the
land tax.
"That the maximum limit for the work
levy should be changed from 30 cents on the
$100 to 25 cents on the $100, and the addi
tional road levy be Increased from 10 cents
on the $100 to 20 cents on the $100.
"That county treasurers be empowered to
redeem land tax receipts within one year
from the time of their issue in payment
only of the tax on which they were worked.
"That supervisors should be elected by
the people and the township trustee given
full control over them.
"That the trustee be empowered to redis
trict his township into as many road dis
tricts as needed.
The committee on schools made a report
recommending that the transfer law should
not be changed and the minimum pay of
teachers left as it stands.
The report of the committee on nomina
tions was adopted, the officers selected be
ing the same as announced in Thursday
morning's Journal.
MANAGEMENT OF THE POOR.
The most important address at the after
noon session was made by Pearson Men
denhall, of Marion county, his subject be
ing "Management of the Poor." Mr. Men
denhall said the new laws which were
passed by the last two legislatures and
codified by Amos W. Butler, secretary of
the Board of State Charities, have revolu
tionised poor relief. These laws, he said,
have helped the trustee in the discharge of
his duties, and when he has applicants for
assistance he can explain what he can and
what he cannot do under the law. He said
that if the trustee properly lives up to the
laws he can more easily discharge his
duties than before laws were enacted.
A short talk was also made by W. B.
Streeter, of the State Board of Charities,
on the subject. W. L. Taylor, attorney
general, also made a short speech on points
pertinent to the management of their of
fices. The morning session was devoted to a
discussion on needed legislation. John W.
Gibney, of Wabash county, assailed the
present text-book law. He said the present
law was good only for the book companies,
and he urged that the law be revised so
that the trustees would not be compelled
to act as the agents of the bock companies.
Mr. Glbney's suggestions were incorporated
In the report of the committee on resolu
tions. Louis Schermeyer. of Allen county,
also attacked the Schoolbook law and urged
legislation for better pay for teachers,
john H. Pulling, of St. Joseph county,
read a paper on the subject of township
roads. He urged the passage of a law that
would make railroad crossings less danger
ous. He believed that thty should be wid
ened and that the elevations at, the cross
ings should not be so steep. He also ad
vocated saving the trees along the high
ways and a law making it compulsory for
farmers to keep the weeds cut along the
highways passing their farms.
The discussion on the subject of ditches
was led by Eli F. Coates. of Grant county,
and Lafayette Klmmerling, of Madison
county.

and the thrilling days that followed. Im
periously had Queen Rosalie dismissed him.
Impulsively had she turned away, refusing
further look, touch or word. Her door
closed behind her, and he well knew she
meant her mandate to be final. "Not a
second to lose!" Even now he should have
been far up toward the mountains. Yet the
doctor was again stirring uneasily about
his room below. The light burned dimly in
the lower hall. Pomp had disappeared from
the window small task was it for that
agile Imp to climb a lightning "rawd." But,
groping back to his room, Benton heard
again the stamp of hoofs beneath the win
dow and muttered words and a sound as
of straining over some unresponsive, inan
imate burden. Then something heaved up
through the dim starlight and lightly
tapped against the clapboards below the
sill, and something black came "swarming"
up the other something Pomp again and
Pomp chuckled at sound of Benton's whis
pered hail.
"We've got a ladder dis time, suh. Didn't
dass try it befo wid dem sojus at de bahn,"
and by ladder, not by lightning rod, was
the descent accomplished. Dusky hands
helped the crippled soldier into saddle.
Dusky hands waved him good-bye and good
luck. Darky voices muttered blessings for
the astonishing feel of gold in dusky palms
for Benton would not ride until he had
rewarded and then, never knowing until
long, long after what chattel it was that
aided Pomp in aiding him to mount, never
seeking to know until the dawn whose was
the dusky hand that took his bridle rein
and led him cautiously away through the
darkness, Benton lifted up his brave heart
in brief, silent prayer for heaven's blessing
on those that dwelt within that house, for
heaven's guidance on his way, and gave
himself unquestioning to Him whom she,
his imperious queen, had appointed as his
guide, and together they rode forth into the
murmuring night.

winding woodpath, ever accompanied by
the clamor of watch dogs not yet reconciled
to night patrols. Twice compelled to let
down bars and squeeze through half-opened
barnyard gates, his silent conductor led on
and Benton followed, until even the dogs
of the suburbs were left behind, and they,
the fugitives, had found the open country.
Then at last his escort turned and said:
"Kin you stand a little canter, Marstuh?"
and Benton recognized the voice of Dusky

was time that they were moving. Where
was Daniel? "Daniel had to go back to
Marse Chilton's. Miss Rosalie done fixed
all dat."
And so. while Benton drank a husre tin
of steaming coffee and ate hungrily at the
rashers and "aigs" provided for him, his
new attendant explained the situation. For
years he had belonged to Marse Chilton,
but when he married a lass on the Louns
berry place, and by and by the chil'luns be
gan to grow, Marse Chilton found him of
less use than ever and swapped him off.
And then he'd been Marse Lounsberry s
coachman, and then was put in charge of
Marse Pelham s "stawk," and finally he
and his old woman were moved up here
into the mountains to take care of the cat
tle of certain fanciers who had prudently
shifted their Jerseys and Ayrshires to the
hills rather than see them requisitioned by
a commissariat that already had begun to
find Us limitations in the matter of fresh
beef. His big boy Hector was "groomin"
hawses," and from this point would lead
him up on the east face of the range until
near the Hedgman. He knew that country
well, whereas old Dan did not, and the lat
ter had to hurry home so that he might
show about the Chilton place as usual. Miss
Rosalie had ordered that, too. They would
do anything in the world for her or for
the doctor.
But Mars'r ought to have been beyond
the gap road Swift Run gap before sun
up, and now 'twas long after, but Hector
knew the ridge and a host of places to hide
if need be. Hector had a sweetheart on
the Hazel wham he greatly longed to see
for whose sake more than thrice had he
run the gauntlet to her welcoming arms,
and so, once more, but in broad daylight
now, and well up along the heights, with
magnificent vistas of eastward Virginia al
most every hour, they came at last in
view of the twisting mountain road that
pierced the range Jackson's runaway from
the Shenandoah down to Gordonsville and
here again Fred lurked in hiding while
Hector scrambled down afoot to try the
pass.
Thus far the danger had been slight. Be
tween Rockfish and Swift Run gaps there
lay few roads through which scouting par
ties would be apt to come. Brown's and
Powell's gaps were then but little used.
The Blue Ridge served as a screen or bar
rier to their left. The line of communica
tion of the Southern army was far over
along the railway to the east. Jarkson and
his nimble-footed brigades were still soms
distance down th- Shenandoah to the
north, but Hector had heard "old Stone
wall" was retiring before overwhelming
numbers, and that a lot of his soldiers were
already at work over on the west side,
throwing up fortifications, and couriers
kept coming and going between him and
"Marse" Kwtll down at "Gawd'nsville. '
Benton still wore the uniform coat and
riding breeches in which he had been cap
tured, though a sleeve was silt and a shoul
der strap ha3 been ripped off. His forage
cap, too, a Jaunty affair of the Mc'lllHn
type, had been missing since the fight at
the stone house, and he was sporting a
black, broad-brimmed felt hat that had
done duty in Jack Chilton's university days.
Horse, horse equipments, Grimsley valise,
and all items attached to th saddle, of
course, were gone, but he still had his field
Klass. A pair of the doctor's old saddle
bags slung on his horse seemed bulging
with sundries he had not yet had tlm- t-
inspect. A blanket and poncho, "treasure
trove" of Manassas the first, were strapped
on the spare horse, together with a canteen
marked u. S.. and that cant. , n Elector had
replenished at a mountain stream only an
hour agone. With their bits slipped and
their fore feet hoppled the horses were
placidly browsing among the bushes close

explanation was something due to herself,
when she lifted up her queenly little head
and Just looked at him. and that ended fur
ther questioning.
Ten o'clock had come, so said his watch,
before Hector reappeared, big-eyed, pant
ing. There were 2on soldiers to the west of
the sap digging forts, a squad in e
farmhouse along the road, and about as
much chance of a Yankee officer crossing
in daylight as there was "of a needle's eye
a-gittin' into heaven." Hector had been
piously taught at some time in his life
and now he looked at the blue and the brans
buttons in dismay.
Benton thought it over. The guard wer
to come for him at G. and long ere this had
discovered his escape. Pursuit and seafch
would, of course, be made. "Anybody own
bloodhounds around Charlottesville?" he
asked, and Hector said "No." Still. Dan
had gone back. Dan might be lashed and
tortured until he revealed what he knew
such things had happened and the sooner
Benton reached the upper waters of tha
Rappahannock and secured hiding place
back of Warrenton known to Hector the
better It would be for him for all. He
doubted not that by noon couriers would
come galloping out from Gordonsville tell
ing of his escape and ordering guards and
sentries on the lookout t verywhere along
the gap.
"Not a second to lose!" He sprang to the
saddle bags and began a search. What had
occurred to him would probably have oc
curred to her, and it was Miss Rosalie, Dan
affirmed, who packed them. With eager
hands Benton pulled at the contents of the
isSSIIUQSl s ilask of brandy from the doc
tor's store, towel, handkerchiefs, sponge,
soap, comb and brush, socks, shirt and un
derwearJack's, of course, and probably a
tight tit; small tin boxes containing ground
coffee, sugar and other things no time to
examine now! an extra sling and bandage
for his arm; boot hooks! Think of a woman
who would think of them! Then came a
shout from Hector, rummaging on the other
side, and over the broad back of Marse
Pelham's old Pyramus came a worn gray
sack coat and waistcoat, of Richmond
make, and pinned to the lapel a scrap of
paper on which, in pencil, appeared in
Roman characters, not script, these words:
"Map and spectacles in coat pocket. Small
pistol also. Look out for Federals about
Warrenton. Strip gold cord."
Gold cord? Why. yes, that meant the
narrow gold braid worn in the war days on
the seam of the trousers by general and
staff officers. Small compliment to him was
it that she should think it necessary to re
mind him of that. Yet. how sweet how
sweet it was to see how she planned and
thought for hlra.
In less than half an hour a tall, pale
faced, 6tudious-looking young man in spec
tacles, slouch hat and worn sack coat of
gray thrown loosely over a slung right
arm with a dark-brown horse, a doctor's
saddle bags and a darky follower on a non
descript nif. turned deliberate fmtn a
mountain path and took the highway to
the eastward, for all the world as though
he were bound for 6tanarJv lite or beyond.
A few yards further the road twisted to
the left and brought him in view of a moun
tain cabin, close to a watering trough,
where a squad of soldiers In queer-looking;
frock coats of dingy gray were filling trtelr
canteens. Another of their number, sick
and dejected, was squatting on the steps,
his sallow face the picture of woe. "Gawt
any physic that will cure the cawllc. dawk
tuh?" drawled a sun-tanned young fellow
in sergeant's straps, and the doctor reined
in, studied the patient attentively one mo
ment, then swing out of saddle and
stepped to his side. Asking no questions,
he gravely felt the pulse and glanced at
the coated tongue, smiled quietly to him
self, and while Hector held the horses fum
bled a minute at the saddle bags, stirred
a cotnpound into a stone china cup that
stood by the trough a compound whereof

In three minutes had the satisfaction of

the plaudits of half a dozen would-be pa
tients. Gladly would they have held him,
though from no hostile Intent, as, with ap
parent serenity, yet with thumping heart,
he rode away. He had heard enough to
make it expedient that he should move at
once.
"Vou're the first dawktuh we've seen
since we left hnnv . cept those in the army,

"No, suh Fifteenth Alabama. Trimble's

Benton, rashly, yet thinking it not unwise

continued at a venture.
"Not many. suh. They're all with Gen
