Unknown Dies in Hospital. An old
man, past 60 years of age, who gave two
different names, and who. as far as the
authorities have been able to discover.
Is without kith or kin, died yesterday
morning, at the Good Samaritan Hos
rjltal. following an attack of heart
trouble. His remains are now at the under
taking parlors of Dunning. MoKntee &. Gil-
baugh. and Coroner Norden Is trying to '
further information regarding the mans
antecedents. To the police he gave the
name of Charles Palmer and at the hos
pital he gave the name of George Bowers.
It Is believed that Bowers is his true

room at the New House, corner of
Second and Burnside streets, Saturday
night and was found 111 and unable to

lodgers. The police were notified and re

Third and Columbia streets, yesterday
morning a detail of police officers ar
rested four women and six men. A com
plaint will likely be lodged against the
proprietress charging her with conduct
ing a disorderly place. Sergeant Cole
with Officers Llllis. Fullen and Inskeep
conducted the raid. They charge mat
the Inmates were conducting such a place
as was ordered closed when Mayor Lane
attempted to suppress the North End.
The men were held In the sum of J5 ana
the women 2100 each. A strange reaiure
of the arrest Is the fact that the place
has never been molested by what la
known as the "moral squad" under up
tective Kay. Many complaints have been
made against It. It Is said, but the de
tectives have always reported that they
were unable to secure sufficient evidence
to cause arrests.

riiseaae ni discovered." said Dr. J. R.
Wilson, the principal, yesterday, "he was
removed to the hospital,, where he. Is now
doing well. From the first the utmost
care has been taken to prevent contagion.
The hall and Academy buildings have
been fumigated, and both buildings have
been made as safe as sanitary precau-
lons can make them. So rar as i can
learn, there Is no other case among m
pupils of the school, and there has been
none this school year."

HILE It has been much less ex
ploited than some others during
the present season. Judged from all
standards, the current offering at the
Bungalow Is the best thing the Baker
Stock Company has given since It moved
to the up-town theater. Upon the ground
work, a. conspicuously fine play, the com
pany has built up a performance that
satisfies the critical taste and intelligence.
while the production Is equally satisfying
to the eye. Captain Robert Marshall's
delicious satire on the romantic drama,
"A Royal Family," a. difficult and elusive
comedy to Interpret, promises to mark a
memorable week In local stock annals.
Concerned are a weak and harmlessly
vainglorious King pf a realm originally
discovered by Anthony Hope, his Queen
and his mother the Queen Dowager. There
Is also an Intensely human cardinal, his
secretary. young priest with a sus-
ceptable heart, and of course the always
fascinating Princess and the Prince of a
rival kingdom who are to ber betrothed
against their Inclinations in order that
war between the two countries may be
averted. Add to these, cabinet ministers,
ladies In waiting and officers in ordinary
and you have the dramatis persona.
Prince and Princess have never seen each
other and the old, but always reliable
subterfuge of permitting the young prin
celing to be thrown into the society of
the wayward Princess, incognita, serves
admirably to bring about a very pretty
plot, indeed.
Originclly produced at the Lyceum, New
Tork, in 1901, with Annie Russell and
others . of distinction in the cast, the
play enjoyed a great vogue during a long
run and has ever since been a favorite
with the best stock organizations. It is
almost entirely satirical and wittily
"takes off" the modern romantic drama.
It contains speeches which are worthy
of being remembered for their good na
tured sarcasm and some well written
sentimentality.
All of the more Important roles make
considerable demands upon the actors.
The three Individual performances wwich
stand out for superior excellence are
those of the King, and Dowager .Queen
and the cardinal, played by Donald
Bowles, Mlna Crollus Gleason and Wil
liam Dills, respectively. To the long list
of capital characterizations which Mr.
Bowles has to his credit, his King jnust
be placed well at the top of the list. He
plavs the rolo with complete understand
ing that he is satirizing the monarch" of
recent stag romance. His wooden im-
nasslveness. broken occasionally by fits
of womanish pcttishness and "nerves,
his mild boastfulness concerning his
Justice and firmness are all In their turns
done to a nicety that marks it acting of
a high order.
Mrs. Gleason is a Joy as the domineering
Dowager, who Impotently tries to man
age everybody's affairs. She makes the
nart irreDressibly funny without ever
losing tho dignity commensurate with the
BT ARTHUR A. GREENE.
MUSICAL melodrama and one of
the most unique things in its line
is "The Flower of the Ranch,"
which opened a week's engagement ,at
tho Baker yesterday afternoon. It is
another one of Joseph Howard's iialf
dozen or more successes and is one of
tho best of his efforts.
Tho novelty of the piece lies In the
fact that It is as closely worked out as
any dramatic production. Take the
songs and the chorus out of It, you would
still have a rattling good Western play
of tho old-fashioned kind. There is the
nifty little soubrette In & buckskin dress
who has been accepted as a model
frontier girl since the days of Annie
Pixley. There Is also the stately and
refined Eastern belle. There is a brace
of as fine villains as ever stole a horse
or branded a maverick, and the hero.
the statuesque Apollo Belvldere in rid
ing togs. that never knew a pack of
coyotish "punchers." a comedian who
always brings a laugh Just about the
time tha audience expects to see bat
tle, murder and sudden death, and then
best and most essential of all, the pa
pers. Never was melodrama yet writ
without tho documents worth romantic
stage-king's ransom, which are used to
supply the bad and tho good for a mo
tive in playing "button, button, whose
got the button," with each other. This
sort of a plot with a setting on the cow
range somewhere, together with a very
attractive chorus and some principals
who act exceptionally well, and add to
this a number of bully song numbers,
and you have a show like you like.
I confess that I was pre-prejudlccd
somewhat against "The Flower of the
Ranch" because of the paraphrasing of
the "Rose of the Rancho," and I ex
pected to find something mediocre as are
most theatrical follow-ups. It was with
keen enjoyment that I was disappointed
so agreeably and found an offering worth
considerably more than the Baker's ad
mission rates. Seenically Mr. Frazee has
mpplled liberally and the costumes are
pretty and fresh. The girls in the ranks
are pretty, agile and sing acceptably.
Frankle Drew who appears In the name
role Is a dainty little watch-charm in
genue who - enslaved her auditors in
short order. Her dancing and singing are
both much above the average and she
has a personality. One among tho fun
niest comedians who has been seen here
in musical shows for a year Is Howard
Hume who plays the tenderfoot. He is
funnier than Richard Carle was In "The
Tenderfoot," and runs rings around all
the popular price fellows. Frances Cos
ter, Forrest Doolittle and Frederic
Knight sing advantageously. This show
Is worth going to see.

obnoxious old woman's station. Mr. Dills
impersonates the lovable old cardinal with
an unctuousness wnicn ne Knows so i

mingled with positive strength and
mastery, is always impressed upon the

The figures of the two young sprigs of

Mr. Ayres is bouyant, headlong and pre

Princess Angela is sufficiently sweet,
wlrtsome, coquettish and Imperious by

young leading woman dresses tho part

Howard Russell Is Impressive as the

Princess and a fine soldier man is James

alt hough I must Insist that she should
look less youthful and do less coquetting.
She is not altogether a convincing mother
of a daughter 30 years old.
A large number of extra people are em

passing, that the first performances are

Bedecked with every resource of mod

llgio-historic drama occupies a unique
position in American amusements. Its
popularity in this city eclipses all other
stage offerings. In Ben Hur," his mas
ter-piece, he gives tho life, the color, the
feeling, of the time of Christ. With these
he presents an Intense heart story,
heroic drama, filled with the tenderest
emotions, tinged with the romance of
love and war, exalted by the evidence of
divine miracles performed by the Naz-
arene. Although the sacred presence is
not shown, it is felt, and throughout the
play runs tho strong under-current of
religious feeling which distinguishes
