At the Thrntrm To-Ilny. ENGLISH'S Coriolanus." 8 p. m. PARK "A Thoroughbred Tramp," 2 p. m. and K p. m. KM PI RK Bon-Ton Burlesquere, 2 p. m. and 8 p. m. A New Melodrama at the Tark. A melodrama of the West, called "A Thoroughbred Tramp," was presented at the Park Theater for the first time yesterday. It is the property of Elmer Walters, brother of Jule Walters, who is well-known at the Park In "Side Tracked." Elmer Walters's play Is something like his brother's. A tramp Is the hero, the Mage sort of tramp that was turned Into the low life by the wickedness of one greater than he. This tramp tells a girl In the first act of the play that he lives only for vengeance. He has never seen the man that wronged him, but he Is sure he will cross his path some day. Tn this little mining town there is a man famed "Bin" Griffin, tall and mustached. that goes about nil day wearing a long coat and a silk hat. He is really Frederick Iawrenre, "a heartless rascal." It is, therefore, easy to guess that this man Is the very one that wronged the tramp. All through the play he causes trouble and, of course. finds his punishment at the close. But the tramp is the most important figure in the chain of sensational affairs. He ulways is "on hand." is alwavs out with his istol when occasion demands. I'sually he s good humored; he is down in the mouth only when he thinks of his ruined life and bis vfiiceunro. If this tramps language were not ?o pure and stilted and he were livelier and coars r he would please the Park's patrons better. John J. Swartwood Is the name of the actor Intrusted with the tramp part. The company is not so good as those that have been interpreting melodramas at this theater since it opened several weeks ago and the play is crude, even for a melodrama. There are songs and dances at intervals. This plav will till out the week. "The Dangers of Paris' will be the offering the first three days of next week. o rtinnge at the Empire. Frank Byron and his companions will continue to make fun at the Empire until the end of the week. The entertainment has not been changed, the brightness as well as Byron's bad songs and the silly and vulgar dialogue in the first part remaining. The m rit of the show lus principallv in the ciejui portion of the foolery and in the singing and dancing of the chorus, which is unusually good, and in Marie Jlogers's singCorlnlaniift at EiiKlih To-MKht. It is assured that Shafcspeare's "Coriolanus" sjil be presented in fine dress at English's Opera House to-nftht. A series of line staue p tur. s is promised.

TO LEAVE COLUMBIA CLUB

CHARLES C. BOl.EB, THE SUPERIN TENDENT, WILL RESIGN. Beginning on ov. 1 He Will Manage t?ie Copper Qnefn Hotel nt Illsbce, Arizona Territory. Charles C. Rouzer, superintendent of the Columbia Club, will tender his resignation to the board of directors at its meeting one week from to-day. He will ask that his resignation take effect Oct. 15. Mr. Rouzer has accepted an offer to manage a new hotel at Bisbee, A. T. Mr. Rouzer returned from Bisbee Wednesday evening and told his friends yesterday that he intended to resign his position at the Columbia Club. He went to Bisbee to confer with his new employers before giving a final answer. Bisbee is a town of about S.OoO people and is the headquarters of the Copper Queen Mining Company, which owns valuable copper mines in that section of the country. The company's Immense smelter is located at Bisbee and from three to five carloads of copper ore are shipped from that place daily. The new hotel now in course of construction is owned by the copper company and will be named the Copper Queen Hotel. Mr. Rouzer says it is a handsome structure and will contain sixty rooms entirely modern in every respect. The hotel is beins built for the benefit of visitors and the members of the company as well a9 commercial travelers. Mr. Rouzer says the company is very wealthy and has contracted for a $25,wu church and a gymnasium, both of which will be strictly modern. They will be erected near the hotel. The company employs l.Suu men in the general offices, mines and the company's store. Mr. Rouzer will visit several Eastern cities after severing his connection with the Columbia Club to purchase furnishings for the new hotel at Bisbee. He expects to open the hotel about Nov. 1. Mr. Rouzer has been the superintendent of the Columbia Club since March. 1V.HJ. When he first managed the affairs of the club there were 200 members, while now there are 1,200. POLLUTION OF STREAMS. The State Health Donrd Hub Neither I'ower Nor Fund. The frequent receipt of letters at the State Board of Health calling attention to the pollution of streams and asking the board for relief leads the secretary to remark as follows: "The last Legislature refused to give the State Board of Health any power or funds for controlling the pollution of streams. The laboratory bill covered the matter perfectly, but, nevertheless, it didn't pass. This bill was fiercely opposed in the Senate, but finally passed, and. although it passed to third reading in the House, no influence seemed powerful enough to bring it to final passage. .The bill contained the best features of stoeam pollution laws of other States and should have become a law. Had it t been made a law the factory pollution of streams would almost certainly have been stopped by this time and the factories saved to the State. "In addition, the work of stopping the sewage pollution of streams would have been started. Sewage from cities and towns Is the most polluting matter known. It bears disease germs, and factory refuse does not. White river and the Wabash are now simply open, noisome sewers, burdened by cities and towns with untold tons of sewage, and from factories with untold tons of refuse. "We will not be a practical and economical people to permit stream pollution to continje. I hope those who look to the State Board of Health for relief in the matter of stream pollution will soon understand the situation and lend their help in the matter of getting proper and needed legislation." CITY NEWS ITEMS. Dr. Emerson Druley has gone to Wabash to attend the funeral of a relative and will return Monday. The meetings of the Christian Ministers' Association will begin on Monday, Sept. 17.

Rockefeller scholarships In the Univ ersity of Michigan in the department of hygenic research. The appointment was made by the board of regents of the university. Miss Wheeler is a graduate of the Shortridge High School. People living in the vicinity of Sixteenth and Alabama streets are much wrought up over the rumor that Gus Uahke is going to purchase the Krug property, which is located on the corner and is to be sold by order of court, and start a saloon and gambling house. They say that if he tries it they will fight him to a finish. A choice load of hogs yesterday sold for $7 a hundred at the Union stockyards.

It Is also said that the amateur detective? of the alliance will appear before the grand jury with their testimony and Prosecutor Ruckelshaus says that he will vigorously prosecute all cases both in the grand jury and Criminal Court. Insurance Rating Scheilnle. Rough Notes, the local Insurance journal, says in its current issue: "The Merchants' Association has conferred with Inspector Good Ice, cf the local inspection bureau, to prepare a plan by which a further credit may be secured in the new rating schedule by improvements in the fire department. The present credit for the department is 3S.o per cent. Without the recent improvements the credit would have been but :.ö per cent. This practical demonstration of the working of schedule rating has resulted in determining the merchants to secure as great a reduction in this way as possible. It is remembered that Expert W. Jf. Johnson, who was sent here to make an inspection of the city, rccommend-d improvements in the department which would have aggregated in cost $'o". Through the impediment of politics this was cut down hv th city to an appropriation of $lY).vm. The merchant have a plan drawn up. it i understood but it will not be made public until after the election this fall in order that it may not again bo blocked by -political influence As was predicted, the application of the new schedule is resulting in many improvemi nts in riks to secure reductions in rates. A general movement along this line will greatly reduce the fire hazard in this city." City Behind In It Kent. City Controller Dunn will make the authorized loan of $.Y.0 to-day. but the bills that keep popping up indicate that the money will be swept away quickly.

When Mr. Dunn goes upstairs at the courthouse he is met with the salutation, "Hello, Jake, why don't you pay your rent?" Besides this bill the city has not yet paid $2,500, the city's share for making the tax assessment. NATIONAL HAY ASSOCIATION.

He will remain there the rest of this week, and hopes to bring about an amicable settlement of the differences. Representative E. D. Crumpacker was in the city yesterday, and said the chances of the strike at Hammond being settled soon were very small, as Conkey does not seem inclined to grant any concessions to the strikers. Maurice Smock Mlaslnjr. Maurice Smock, who was arrested several days ago while trying to sell a bicycle and then released, has not been heard from by relatives since, and the police have been asked to search for him. Ills relatives think he felt himself disgraced and would not return home.

Conwrens Will He Asked by Letter Carriers to Pass the Measure. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 5. The fourth day of the National Association of Letter Carriers' convention was devoted entirely to business. A supplemental report of the credentials committee showed 949 officers and delegates present, the largest number in the history of the organization. F. W. Baumhoff, postmaster at St. Louis, made an address in which he invited the 13 convention to visit the Louisiana purchase fair. The afternoon was set apart for debate on the salary bill, two and a half hours being allowed each side. The larger cities destted the convention to indorse the Dunphy bill, now pending before Congress, which provides that in tirst-class cities the pay shall be $l,2uo per year and in the second-class cities $l,i00. The second proposition was known as the equalization bill, which equalized the pay of the carriers all over the country at Uhh. The Dunphy bill did not pass both houses at the last term of Congress, and the delegates from the second-class cities contended that Congress would not pass the bill on account of the increase of the expenditure. It raises the pay in the second-class offices from $s and the salary in the lirst-class ones from $1,000. The delegates from tho lirst-class cities fought the equalization bill on account of the fact that it did not entertain a raise of their pay. The vote stood for the indorsement of the Dunphy bill, 51S; against. 4M. The contest was spirited and the delegates were heated In the extreme. The national president of the Ecttcr Carriers' Mutual Renelit Association made the annual report for the M. p.. A. this morning. It showed notable progress during the year. During tho year ending July 1, 1:01, the amount of $4I,V.5.3D was paid in benefits, and the total amount since the institution of the association in 1SIH is $310,13.50. Action of Pontoulce Clerks. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 5. The National United Postoflice Clerks' Association to-day adopted the report of the committee on classification bill. It asks that the minimum salary for clerks In first and second-class oilices be Jrtoo, and that the maximum bo $1.J00, with a yearly increase of $100 until the salary reaches Jl.ioo per year. It further asks that bill clerks receive as a minimum salary $0)0, with yearly advances of $lo0 until they receive $l.(xt. This applies to all clerks below chief clerks. There is considerable discord between the East and West factions over the proposition for an eight-hour bill. The eight-hour bill, the report on which was finally adopted, provides for fortyeight hours per weeK. exclusive of Sunday work, and Sunday work not to exceed eight hours, or more than the interests of the service demand. This bill, with the c' issiflcation bill, will be pushed at the next session of Congress. The convention cloyed to-night to meet next year in Kansas City. Mo. MAIL CLERK KILLED.

HIS REMARKS DISTORTED

CAPTAIN FORSYTH SORIIY HE DIS CUSSED THE SCHLEY CASE. Fifteen of Schley's Witnesses Sum moned for n Conference nt YV" n h -ington Pilot .unez to Testify. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 A reply has been received at the Navy Department from Captain Forsyth to the letter calling his attention to an alleged interview pub lished on the subject of the Schley court of inquiry. An earlier letter of the de partment to Captain Forsyth, it appears. did not reach him. The following state ment of the character of the reply was made at the department: "Captain Forsyth while coming Kast was detained over Sunday at Kansas City, Mo. He declined to talk with a reporter. It seems, however, that he fell into pri vate conversation with some person in the hotel, with no idea that what he said would be repeated in any form. His re marks were distorted, and were used to form the eubstance of the alleged inter view. Captain Forsyth has made such disclaimer, and has so frankly avowed his deep regret at any indiscretion in the premises that the department Is satistied there was no intent on his part of violating the order of the department to refrain from public statement. No action will be taken by the department, further than to inform Captain Forsyth that his explanation is satisfactory and the incident will not be treated as affecting his excellent record." Telegrams were sent by the Navy Department to-day to about fifteen of the witnesses asked for by Admiral Schley in the coming court of inquiry to proceed to Washington for conference with the admiral's attorneys. These witnesses are located nearly all in the Kast. mainly at Newport, Philadelphia and New York. After the conference they will return to their respective posts and will be ordered to Washington again when Admiral Schley's attorneys are ready to call them before the court. It is understood that Nunez, the Spanish pilot, who was a close observer of the battle of Santiago baj having piloted Admiral Cervera's squadron out of the bay on the day of the memorable sortie, is to be requested by the Navy Department to come here as a witness. Drugged Fruits Not Wanted. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. The Treasury Department has received through the secretary of state an inquiry from the United States consul at Marseilles, France, as to whether he should refuse consular certification of invoices of fruits preserved by the application of salicylic and benzoic acids. The matter was referred to the secretary of agriculture, who reports that, in his opinion, the importation of fruits in this manner should not be permitted. The Treasury Department, therefore, has requested that the United States consular officers in France be instructed to refuse authentication of Invoices of such goods intended for shipment to the United States. The basis of this action is the theory that fruits preserved as indicated are injurious to health. Health Conditions nt Guam. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. The acting secretary of the navy to-day made public the following extract 1'rom a report made by Commander Seaton Schroeder, naval governor of Guam, dated July 23: "The health of the command is fair, the percentage of sick being at present 10.
