HASTINGS, Neb., Nov. 19.-——Chief of P0— lice Lepinsky has returned from Hanover, Kan, where he traced the Davenport N a- tional bank robbers and succeeded in un- earthing an organized gang of the boldest kind of robbers, which has been operating through this part of the state for the last six months. Last Saturday morning the bank of Davenport was robbed of everything in the safe, which amounted to several thousand dollars. The work was done by profes- sionals. Chief Lepinsky got on to their track and followed them to Hanover, Kan, where he arrested three of them._ The rob- bers’ den was what is called a “hole in the ' Wall” and was run by one of the gang who disposed of the stolen goods. In searching the cella1 the officer dug up about $500 in gold, $30 in silver, plenty of gold watches and jewelry, besides a large 1:011 of scrip and several dynamite bombs. Among the silverware found was that which was taken from the Davenport bank with the banker’s name engraved on it. The robbers when searched had upon their persons $1,300 in currency, several large revolvers and four large stilettos. Two of the thieves were captured while asleep in their room, and the third one, the proprie- tor of the dive, was captured While on duty. The three robbers were taken to Washing- ton, Kan, to aWait trial. Special police are busy scouring the state for other mem‘ hers of the gang. THE FAIR. MILLIONS. ’ His Heirs Are Pushing Matters to Have Them Promptiy Divided. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.—.\70 time is to be lost in the distribution of the millions of the late James G. Fair, as far as his children are concerned.

Matters begin to assume a busiru. .1ike as- poet. The men who will determine the value )f the estate of the l. .c m' 'ionaire are Lichard V. Dey, George L. If so and Ernest A. Leigh. Opinions vary as to the value of the es- tate. At the time of Fair‘s death wild statements placed his wealth at $40,000,- 000. Gradually the figures was reduced, :1... a conse1vative estimate places it at $1M: 000,000. According to one of the trus- tees u. ider the trust will, the estate has in- creased one—fifth in the past year. .34" Quarrel Over a Bishop’s Salary. ,Z‘ORONTO, Nov. 19.——~An injunction has been sworn out to stop payment of salary to Right Rev.

MAUD ADAMS IS NOW CONSIDERED OUR LEADING ACTRESS. >Next Season She IYill Star Under the Man- agement of Mr. Charles Frohman—Her Success Won by Her Modest and Un- tiring Efl'ort. While the new season in New York has thus far brought to view no play of great originality, and very few of any other quality likely to quite satisfy the folks who always take the stage seriously, there ere signs of greater prosperity in the theatrical world than the most sanguine observers expected before the season opened. Many of the theatres are crowded every night, by people who pay he price of admision, and it is not only pretty friVolity that draws, either, because “Rosemary” out “An Enemy to the King” are as profitable as “The Geisha” and the wilson oper.etta Scenic melodiama, of .1 good sort, like “Unde1 the Polar Star,” holds its own, too, in the contest for popular favor with musical farce. And now comes the announcement that Maude Adams is to star next sca- MAUD ADAMS. management of Charles Frohman. Miss Adams is a great fa- vorite. She is fill and above every pthci Amelican actless on the stage to- -day , and y ct so simple and unassum- ing in her methods as to obtain no 110- toriety save that which is commanded by merit. Five years ago, after the first per- formance of “The Masked Ball,” Miss Maude Adams awoke to find herself famous. At one bound she has achieved histrionic distinction; she had established her right to be con- sidered among the leading actresses of the American stage. Her work in the support of Mr. John Drew’s first stellar efforts was found to be bril- liant in its conception and dainty and artistic in its execution; refinement and intelligence marked her performance of a role that might have been ruined by a less cultured and less graceful actress. the young actress contributed no less to her success than her undoubted dramatic talents. Since that time Miss Adams’ ad- vancement in her profession has been rapid. Each new role she has added to her repertoire in these years has son under been marked by the evidences of care-7 ful and intelligent study, the ability to profit by disinterested criticism and likewise by the effort to conscientious- ly overcome the individual tricks of manner that might perhaps mar the ar~ tistic finish of her performances. In all the plays in which John Drew has" been seen during his career as a star Miss Adams has always fairly divided the honors with him, and her artistic development has always kept pace with and occasionally outstripped his. In the most recent of these produc- tions, “Rosemary,” while opiniOn may differ as to the merits of Mr. Drew’s performance of Sir Jasper Thorndyke, there is no dissenting voice in the gen- eral meed of praise accorded the Dor- othy Cruikshank of Maude Adams. Had the actress attempted to impart but the slightest touch of coquetry to her impersonation of this simple little maiden of the early Victorian days it would have been fatal to the very spirit of the role, and so it is that Miss Adams’ delightful assumption of Witching ingenuousness is the secret of her latest and best success. The limitations of Maude Adams’ art have not yet been reached, and the ability she has displayed in “Rosemary” to sound the true note of a character so difficult in its very simplicity is anv earnest of yet greater things to come. Miss Adams is greatly the gainer in the estimation of the critics and in the afiections of the great body of the theatre-going public by the consum- mate finish and the exquisite natural~ ness of her portrayal of Dorothy Cruikshank’s love story. It is perhaps rank heresy to so popu- lar a star as Mr. John Drew, but it is a fact nevertheless that Miss Adams dominates 1110 Empire stage Whenever the action of "Rosemary” places her in view of the audience.
