In the third act thro is n re markable effect of a yaoht In a storm at sea, wherein tho Illusion Is no per fect that a spectator feels he Is wit nessing tho reality. The scenic Inves titure of this act Is particularly beau tiful. In their dramatization of Mr, Mc Cutcheon's book. Messrs. Smith and Ongley have taken certain dramatlo liberties, but the main theme is not de stroyed. Related briefly, tho story tells of the efforts of Montgomery Brewster to spend In ono year one million dol lars, an Inheritance from his grand father, to obtain a bequest of seven millions willed under certain conditions to him by an uncle. Tho conditions stipulate that while every penny of the million must bo dissipated, the young man is restrict ed from expending It in reckless gamb Iln, endowments or the erection of me morials. t-Tinnermorc, no must p re- tic hand. Tho exquisite subtlety of Miss Mel vllle's acting lifts tho character from the glare of tho footlights and en shrouds It with a genuineness which makes It seem a living, breathing creature who Is really living her life before the audience. "Wo sympathise with tho simplicity nnd confldenco of the girl and her faith in human nature; we fear for her when sho cannot see the wickedness of the workaday world which Is being slyly unfolded before her eyes, and we mln gle our tears with hers when the rude awakening comes; yet In a moVient we npplaud her bravery and her strength of spirit when sho will . not be cast down by her sorrows, and when she at last comes Into her own nnd the rosy path of human happiness lies before her unobstructed, we rejoice In her good fortune. And when it is all done, and the finale. Intense and thrilling, has come nerve absolute secrecy In regard to the t 10 Pasa' ttnd tne curtain has been rung whole affair.

It Is expected that tho ships will be brought to a standstill, under ordinary speed within the distance of their own length. If this Is found to be the rase, the possibility of collision In tactical maneuvers will be reduced to a mini mum. Moreover, by using one of the wings, the ships will bo nble to turn within a much smaller radius than Is now possible. The game of war will bo made more complex If the arrangement proves practicable for tho new Dreadnoughts Vessels which can stop and turn around with so little difficulty will provo themselves moro elusive targets particularly for submarines and tor pedo boats, which count for the ef fectlvcness largely upon tho unwleld- Uness of tho big ships, nnd the diffi culty they cxperlenco In deviating from their course when under wny. In tho merchant marine also the In vention will be of great value. Tho greatest difficulty with which ordinary liners have to contend arises from fog. which necessitates slowing down to pre vent collisions with Icebergs, or other vessels, as happened In the case of the Republic. With the ship brake tho lin ers could proceed under full speed, even during a fog, as they could stop with in sight 'of the obstacle. The test Is to be made with tho In diana next month. If It proves suc cessful the appliance will probably bo adopted by the navy department. St xlnjnrefl In Wrsck. CINCINNATI, O.. Jan. 22.

Hannon wns haled Into Judgo Frntre'h court yesterday on the charge of falling to support hs family. It developed from the court's questioning that active ex ertion had a very depressing effect upon Hannon. which wns gravitated by tho psychic waves which various unknown persons had projected toward hint. Mrs. Hnnnon was In court and she told Judgw Fraler llitt she took no stock In tho pHychologlcat phenomena business, though It was undeniable that hen 1ms band became strangely stiff every time tho subject of work came up. "What I want htm to do la to go to work," alio said, "and quit talking so much. His tongue never gets so stiff ho cannot use It." What la the cause of your trouble?" asked tho court of Hannon.
