Repertoire at the Gennett. The rational detective as exemplified by ,"Sherlock Holmes" and the Pinkertons, received a graphic stage presentation in "Trinity Chimes," one of the bills of the "Americans" in a series of stock plays to be seen at the Gennett the coming week. The role of "Tucker. "Whatto" is one which appeals to every one at all familiar with Itolice affairs. He does not assume a dozen disguises the one evening and he seldom shows a gun, but like the

real successful detective, he is invariably "Johnny on the spot," when he

is needed. Tne nrst tnree acts are

laid in Arkansas, and the last within

the shadow of old Trinity church in ' New York City, from Which the play, draws its name. , Miss Boyer is ex-! ccllent in a soubrette part 'which displays her great range of emotional" power, while Jack Warburton as "Skid Moore," a negro farm hand, is as funny as a white man representing'

a negro can possiniy re. utners or the company are excellently cast, also. The Americans open their week's engagement, Monday, Feb. 11 with "The Man-O-Wars-Man." The other plays run the gamut of tastes, being

funny, dramatic, sad and patriotic, thus pleasing every possible patron of the week. . . ' Virginia Harned Gennett. A notable engagement at the Gennett soon will be that of Virginia Harned in "Camille." Miss Harned's portrail of this famous Dumas heroine has been long, praised as the greatest o till her emotional roles and it has now been arranged to devote the entire remainder of her present tour to this supreme characterization of hers. A specially selected company has been chosen for her support and the role of Armand Duval will be played by that brilliant young actor. William Courienay, who is declared to be the best Armand on the stage today. Vaudeville at the New Phillips. Budworth and "Wells, the clever entertainers , presenting their refined comedy ."sketch "A Personal Ad," at the New" Phillips theater this week, are certainly creating a good deal of

comment, as they produce an act that keeps the audience in an uproar of

laughter from the time they appear on the stage until the finish of their act. Richmond theater goers should not miss this treat at Wednesday matinee. A set of three gold beauty pins will be presented to every lady attending the Phillips theater. Plenty of Fun in "Wonderland" Gennett. Victor Herbert and Glen MacDonough's extravaganza, "Wonderland", will be the attraction at the Gennett Saturday night. The story deals with eight wandering princes, who inhabit an enchanted castle, and through the aid of Dr. Fax, a specialist in affairs of the heart, they succeed in ensnaring the affections of the eight charming daughters of the King of Herat, The fun is said to be fast and furious, and the production is interspersed with some of Victor Herbert's best music, and Julian Mitchell's most glittering effects. Sam (Little) Chip and Mary Marble are at the front of a large and well balanced company. "Under Southern Skies" Gennett. "Under Southern Skies" wh!ch appears tonight at the Gennett is one of the series of plays by Lottie Blair Parker which portray life in different

sections of our country. The first depicting New England life was called "Way Down East." The second one, "Under Southern Skies" was copyrighted as "Way Down South." It was produced in London at Messrs Gatti and Frohman's theatre on October 29, 1901, under the caption "Way Down South" or "Under Southern Skies.."

now stands without a rival as a picture of Southern life. Mrs. Parker is thoroughly familiar with southern people,' their customs and manner of thought, and some of her closest

friends have been Southerners. Mrs. Parker says that "Under Southern Skies" has a foundation in fact, for it was based upon the romantic his- ; tory of a young southern girl which was related to her by one of these . friends. Perhaps it is this under-lying vein of truth and reality in the play that has given it such vital force. , But whatever the cause the fact rej mains that "Under Southern Skies" i is one of the best paying attractions j on the road today. Large and enthus- i j iastic audiences are the rule wherever it is presented and this, its sixth

season, finds it enjoying greater popularity than ever. An unusually large cast, twenty-seven people, is employed in the presentation of the play, the stage settings are life like repro- ; ductions of the scenes in the sunny :

company. Root Juice has made so many wonderful cures in that place that it has become the talk of the whole city. In the immense crowd that attended the Root Juice lectures the reporter counted fifty-six people that were cured by the Root Juice remedies, among those that were glad to recommend Root Juice to their friends were a number of Ft. Wayne's highly respected citizens, whose word could not be doubted. Some of the cures seemed like a miracle. Mrs. E. G. Moore, of 612 Webster street, had suf

fered for several years with intense stomach troubles and female weakness. During that time she was treated by a number of doctors and had used many kinds of medicines. All had failed to give more than momentary relief. Root Juice had cured a lady friend that suffered in a similar wray, although she had given up hope. To satisfy her husband she concluded to try Root Juice. After

using four bottles she had gained six

There was a fight, shots were fired and Butler fell dead. The men who did the shooting escaped. Police arrested a man they think is one of those who did the shooting. The murder is believed to be the result of trouble between union and nonunion men, which has been on ever since a Pittsburg company began improvements for the Pennsylvania company at Ashtabula Harbor.

Publishers' Press New York, Feb. 5. More than 2i hours Xew York was fast in the grip of a fierce northeast snowstorm. Ten inches of snow fell in the 24 hours, equalling but not exceeding the fall within any similar period for several year3. On Broadway and all the avenues and cross streets having surface

lines snow was piled six feet high between car tracks and sidewalks. By hard work the surface lines were kept in operation. Most of the elevated lines in Manhattan were run on their usual schedules, but lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company In remote sections d Brooklyn were badly delayed. Through trains and suburban locals on nearly all railroads running into New York were severely handicapped. Traffic in the harbor moved very slowly. The roof of the New York Central railroad s roundhouse in the Bronx was crushed in by the weight of snow and two men at work within were Injured. An army of snow shovelers estimated at 5,003 men was put to work on the streets. Although the heavy snow fall continued traffic conditions gradually improved on the main thoroughfares. Laborers cleaning the snow from the sidewalk of Fifth avenue, between Seventy-fifth and Seventy-sixth streets uncovered the body of a young man, who apparently committed suicide during the storm. There was a bullet wound in the temple, and by the man's

side was a revolver, with one empty

chamber. In the dead man's pockets was found a note in a woman's handwriting addressed to Walter Phillips, requesting the recipient to meet her at the corner of Seventy-second street and Fifth avenue. The dead man is believed to have been Walter l-uillips, an inspector employed by the New

York Telephone company. Philadelphia, Feb. 5. The snow

storm which began in this vicinity

Monday is the worst since February, 1899. More than 12 inches of snow

fell and high wind drifted it in places to a depth of three and four feet. The

storm seriously interfered with train

schedules, while streetcar traffic was slow and irregular. Navigation on the Delaware river, except ferryboats, is practically at a standstill. A number of vessels bound to or from coast ports are storm bound in the river between here and the sea. Reports from eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and Southern New Jersey are to the effect that the storm is the worst in eight j'ears. The fall of snow in the mountains of eastern Pennsylvania during 24 hours reached a depth of 18 inches. Boston, Feb. 5. Traffic was seriously hampered by the heaviest snowfall of the winter. The worst accident reported was on the Providence division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, in which about a dozen men and women were shaken up and bruised, but none seriously.
