"The 8ervant in the House. The company which will present "The Servant In the House" at the Gennett theatre this afternoon, tonight and Friday night, arrived In Richmond today. It Is expected that the S. R. O. sign will be displayed at all three performances, as the company and the play are of the best on the American fctage today. The advance sale of seats has been unusually large. This is the play that the Chicago Daily News calls "the most beautiful play of all ages," and which the New York Evening Post declares is "the best example of dramatic art extant. It has leceived the most enthusiastic prahe from every critic who has seen

Haitien minister of the interior, ha3 been, killed at Jeremie, has been confirmed. The circumstances of his death are briefly as follows: Upon arriving at Jeremie, at the head of a government detachment sent out against the revolutionists he found the government gunboat Croyant ashore. He at once accused the commander, Captain Ostema, of treason, and, refusing to listen to any explanations, he forthwith had him executed. After this act Leconte landed at Jeremie for the purpose of recruiting men to fightagalnst the rebels under General Simon, leader of the government against President Nord Alexis. Some of the people of Jeremie protested against this course, whereupon Le
conte selected two of the most promt-1
nent citizens and had them executed. Theseoutrages wrought the people tip to a great degree of excitement and Indignation. They armed themselves hastily and advanced against Leconte and his troops. There was practically no resistance. Leconte was . taken prisoner, and in his turn executed by a fusillade upon the same wharf where lie had caused the killing of Ostein a find the other two men.

ENGINEER
A. HERO
Saves Lives of 150 Passengers by Staying With Flyer.
BAD WRECK WAS AVERTED.
La Crosse, Wis., Nov. 26. Only the
heroism of Engineer Julius Severson of La Cros6e. saved thelives of 150 passengers in a passenger and freight wreck at Portage Junction, III., according to a written testimonial signed by all the passengers and submitted to Superintendent Cunningham of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad on the arrival of the train here. As train No. 47, running 60 miles an hour, drew near Portage Junction a freight was noticed just ahead. The fireman, Edward Cater, jumped, and was killed, but the engineer, at the risk of his Jife, applied the eemrgency brakes and reduced the speed of the train, before the freight was struck. A half dozen boxes were smashed and piled onto the passenger engine, bu1 when the engineer was dug out of the debris he was uninjured. No passengers were hurt, though they were thrown to the floor from their berths by the shock.

One of them writes: "While we called the midday halt at Tachade, we asked the villagers concerning some new graves which we noticed In a field close by. They answered, 'Our head man and two others were killed three months ago-in a feud with a village higher up the hills.' 'Is It settled, now? Yes.' 'Did you report the matter to Laowo?

been fascinated by the human interest

The coming therefore to the Gennett theatre of Hoyt's funniest of all mixtures of humor, frolic and melody, can only be regarded in the light which concerns the bettermeyt of human nature, as there is naugilt to compare with a good hearty laugjh in the world of plentiful woe. This season's blend of captivating features puts "A Bunch of Keys" to a still more favorable advantage as an entertainment of the choicest qualities, from every point reckoned, and the employment of 60 many exceptionally clever artists, in all the departments of Jullity and song, furthermore enhances Its value among
the acceptable forms of stage diver-
tisement. Gennett theatre, Nov. 30.
The fame of the Richmond Fall Festival has been written of in almost every news pupllcation in the United States in some way or other. It also has been prominent in a number of magazines, especially tnose devoted to theadvertlsements of manufacturers. There is one magazine that could not be said to be devoted to either of
tftese interests that reflects credit to the undertaking in its current Issue.

The city was well supplied with holiday amusements today. Probably
the greatest Interest centered in the attraction offered at the Gennett Theater. This afternoon "The Servant in the House," was played to a large audience. Indications are for a larger attendance this evening. This play is psychological and one that has made an immense impression upo nth public wherever it has been. . presented. There were large crowds at the skating rink both this morning and afternoon. The climax is expected to come this evening. The vaudeville at the New Phillips was presented to large sized audiences.

SCALPING.
Indiar Tradition That Tells the Origin
of the Custom.
According to the Indian tradition.
scalping arose in this wise:
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
years ago, when all the Indians in the world were of one tribe and under one chief, there arose a dispute in the tribe as to who should succeed the old chief.
who had Just died without issue. There
were two principal aspirants to the
honor, each having a considerable fol
lowing. The dispute finally ended with strife and war, and for the first time in the history was "brothers'
blood shed by brothers."
The chief of one of the factions had
a beautiful daughter, and one of the bravest warriors was a suitor for her
hand. Her father consented to the match on one condition that the young brave should Journey to the
camp of the enemy, many miles away
through the deep snow, kill the chief.
his rival, and return with some nnmis
takable token of his death. In spite
of the snow and the distance, the young man immediately set out on his
Journey and. after lying in ambush
for several days, finally entered the camp, boldly attacked the chief in his
tent, slew him and cut off his head. Next morning the murder was dls
covered, and the tribe set off in hot
pursuit. Little by little they gained
upon the fleeing warrior, who in his anxiety to elude his pursuers cast
away all his Impediments, to his very
clothing, retaining only his stone knife
and the trophy which was to win him
his bride.
His pursuers gained rapidly until finally so near did they come he could
hear them on his trail. His grewsome burden grew heavier and heavier, and as a last resort he whipped out his knife, stripped the scalp from the head
of the dead man and, thus lightened of his load, reached his own camp In
safety, presented to his chief the token
of his prowess and was wed, amid great rejoicing, to the damsel of his
choice.
From thenceforth he was permitted
to wear an eagle's feather in his cap.
and to this day the eagle's feather remains the sign of the successful warrior, the number he displays depending upon the number of scalps he has taken. Chicago Record-Herald. -
NOVEMBER TRAVEL
SHOWS INCREASE
Conditions Elsewhere Not Du
plicated Here. In many places there are reports
out that the travel so far during the
month of November has been considerably less than for the same month of last year. This is not the case In
Richmond. The sale of tickets has greatly increased and according to the statements made yesterday by local
officials the sales will be much larger
than in former years.
The number of persons leaving the
city today are fewer than the number leaving last year. There were a large
number of persons arrived in the city
today.
Although there are now no cases of
plague in Pacific coast ports, there is
no relaxation of the precautions
against the disease. The secretary of
the Washington Board of Health re
cently asked the mayor of Seattle to
order that "all vessels shall breast off
from the dock at least six feet by
means of a float or by spars, and that on all lines or spars passing from the vesel to the dock metal rat guards,
at least two feet in diameter, shall be placed In such a manner that they will
tightly encircle the lines of spars, and
that the face of such rat guards shall be at right angles to the length of the lines or spars, and that all gang
planks shal be raised or guarded when
not in actual use for pasengers or freight."
Under the new Korean forest laws the forests will be classified in four
kinds, according to the status of their owners. These four classes are Im
perial, state, public and private forests. The minister of agriculture, commerce and industry may work out order the preservation of such forests as may be necessary for the prevention of landslides, floods and droughts. The minister can also prohibit the cuttingof forests, the destruction of which would impair the scenic features of places of public resort or places noted for scenic attractiveness.
In New Eengland, some years ago, one often heard people speak of a place, an entertainment or of business as "dead as Chelsea." making the comparison because of the extreme Quietness of the city which has just been swept by fire. This proverbial reflection on the city, some of its inhabitants said, had a bad effect on real estate values, and a,, change of name on that account for a long time under serious consideration. The place, however outgrew the "dead" era before steps in that direction were taken.
The most curios railway in the
world is built on ice. It Is laid between Cronstadt and Oranienbaum, and Is In use only during the winter. Its success has suggested the construstlon of a similar winter railway betwee the two important commercial centers, Krementchug and Ek atari n-
oslav, which are united in summer by
the steamboat traffic along the Dnie
per river. This meas of communication is closed in winter by the ice. A
costly, rouadabout journey has to be
made between the two towns, though they do not lie far apart.
