SPLENDID 1600 POUND PIECE OF
METAL IS READY FOR
HOISTING.
The splendid 1600 pound bell lias
arrived for the St. Benedict church
of this city and Is on the grounds
awaiting the hoisting of it to the
belry in the spire. The bell is as
high as a man's head and is 42
inches in diameter at the mouth.
The problem of swinging this bell
In place is a serious one and will
involve some engineering and mech-
anical skill, as the height to which It
must l>o raised Is 84 feet from the
ground. Scaffolding will either have!
to be built so that the bell may be j
lifted by block and tackle to the port
opening in the belfry, or there must |
be openings made through the middle
of the several floors from the ground j

Tf the latter method be employed it
will require a Ion* and strong ron-
and pulleys of the compound kind
which would call for over 450 feet
of rope. The bell will ho swung In
the place designed for it in some
way; that may he depended upon.
Tho St. Patrick's eve dance In

"The Mummy and the Humming
Hird'' is one of the prettiest society
dramas on the stage and with Paul
Gilmore, natural, manly and forcetul
ill the role of Lord Lumly, no greater
treat can be asked than the privilege
of witnessing the production. Mr.
Gilmore creates a character In the
part of Lumley and the self-centered,
honorable, big-hearted fellow, be-
comes very real and very lovable
as the story is told. And while Lum-
ley or rather Paul Gilmore is making
such a warm place for himself in 1
the hearts of the audience a great I
pity is also finding a place for the ]
unfortunate Lady Lumley who Is be-
ing forced on to indiscretion if not
folly, by her husbands extraordinary
attitude toward her, and it is extra-
ordinary in the farthest 2nd deepest
sens* of the word.
One can understand that absorption
of the man, as a scientist, to the ex-
clusion of social life. But two min-
utes after her departure, for the din-
ner party, which even to please her
he refused to attend, he gives up
some very valuable time from his
papers to entertaining an unknown
Italian organ grinder. To be sure
the scene, and it is a mighty clever
one, is extremely useful in shaping
a satisfactory ending to the play in
the last act and the little inconsist-
ency on the part of T,ord Lumley
will have to be laid at the door of the
dramatist, who probably saw In It
the possibilities of the drama rather
than of the man.
Signor D'Orelli makes a very ac-
ceptable Frenchman and certainly Is
abominable enough in disposition to
merit the fate which would undoubt-
edly have been his, If there had been
one more act.
Miss Kathryn Hutchison, sweet of
face, and beautifully gowned, makes
a very womanly and womanish Lady
Lumly. One cannot quite see what
she finds attractive In the insane,
dancing little Frenchman, but one
can easily see what she misses in her
husband and her faults are not very
serious after all.
The charming Ruth, who tells plain
truth with a candor and a practical
twist that are very convincing, m«
also Indulges in one fit of rage which
is becoming and not wholly unrea-
sonable. The entire drama Is worth
a second thought. It Is all so simple
and so logical and so human. Paul
Gilmore makes half the drama and
the excellent lines make the other
half. The rest and there Is more,
somehow, is ..bout equally divided be-
twen the excellence of his support the
pretty gowns and the appropriate and
attractive settings. The play is clev-

Of grand larceny. She pleaded guilty

was held to the district court.
The woman broke into the house
of J. Ewton, a white man near
Sewiall and stole articles of clothing,
among other things being a wedding

clothing was valued at $35. Her
father is serving a term in the peni-

ran away from home with a negro

INSPECTORS' MEETING.
A meeting of all of the election
inspcctois is scheduled to be held
in the council chamber MonAir even-
ing beginning #t 7:30 o'clock. Vot-
ers who desire to make any trans-
fers can do so by applying to ths in-
spectors at this meeting.
The police court records for this
month thus far show less business
transacted than for a like period in
a long time.
Last fall and early In the present
year the cash proceeds of the office
of police Judge either met or went a
long way towards the payment of the
costs of running Ihe police depart-
ment including the judge's salary, but
the occasion for arrests Is becoming
less frequent week by week at this
time there is little revenue from fines
coming in.
In fact, to quote Assistant Chief of
Police Spann "there is a very serious
quietness" prevailing, and from
cop's point of view the prospects are
not encouraging.
A few days ago Chief Hawk re-
marked with due seriousness that "the
people positively refuse to be bad."
This is a very encouraging outlook
for the city, and a decided compli-
ment to the vigilance and efficiency
of the force. Hoboes, bums and va-
grants arc giving Shawnee a wide
berth this season. The cllmite of
this city does not agree with them:
