A Disappointment.
The production of "A Hired Girl" at Fer
guson's theatre last night was a sore disap
pointment to an audienco that tilled the
theatre and the Illauey reputation has re
ceived a set-back in tlio estimation of tliu
local theatre patrons. It is seldom that a
company embracing so many pooplo gives as
little entertainment. "Tlio Hired Girl" is
trashy, and when attempts at humor aro
made tho chestnuts fall thick. Tho titlo rolo
docs not create ton minutes real fun during
tho ontlro production and, with one or two
exceptions, tlio specialties aro of a very or
dinary character. Tlio entire second act of
tho pieco is a reproduction of tho laundry
scene in "A Ilaggago Check" with the hired
girl substituted fur tho boy. It is regretted
that tho peoplo should bo faked as they were
last night, and good companies sillier through
such disappointments.

bond"
I never did."

ness the samo. .Mrs. Mellet said sho hover
appeared in Justice John J. Cardln's ollico to
acknowledge tho execution of tho bond,
for any other purpose
Mr. Ilurko s cross-examination htougutou
nothing now, except that Mrs. Mellet sal
sho was surety for Mr. Scanlan In 18U3, hi

signed tho 18U3 tax bond, or an Indemnity
bond for a trust company, sho could not Bay
positively.
When dirt you llrst learn your name was

"I heard It talkod abuut."
"How did you como to lcaru that your
name was on tho bond 1 "
"I heard thorn read It in the newspapers.'
"What did you do then?"
"I went to Mr, Scanlan aud, told hint it
was not right. Ho said it would bo all
right."
"Hid you niako auy application to th
Ilorough Council or School Hoard or County
Commissioners to havo your natno stricke:

on?"
"No, sir."
"Why didn't you?"
"I don't know. I thought It would bo nil
right."
"Did you know after Mr. Scanlan went
around getting signers, and before lie sen
theso bonds to Fottatille, that your nam
was on them T"
"No, sir."
"Uo yoi know 'Sqtllro CardiuV"
"No, sir l I don't. Audi never stood in
his ollico."
Justice J. A. Toomey was called as a wit.
ness by Mr. Ilurko.
"I hand you the tax bond of M. J. Scanlan
as ( ollcctor ol Taxes lor tho year l&w
l'lcaso look at the acknowledgment on tho re
verso side of tliu bond. Is tho signature tu

"IMs."
"Was that acknowledgment taken by you?"
"1 don't remember, only as tho paper
shows."
"Is it a corroct acknowledgment, and was
itduly taken as you ccitlfy thero?"
"As far as I know."
"Did, or did not tho parties mentioned In
that acknowledgment appear before you, and
make an acknowledgment ?"
"I don't remember; hut ' they must havo
done It, or 1 wouldn't havo taken It,"
"Then stato whether r Hot, so fa,r as yoq

pears ou the face of tho acknowledgment you
purport to havo made? '
"No, sir; I havo not."
"Or that sho was In your presenco any
where for tho purpose of making au ac
knowlcdgmcnt?"
"The only recollection I have of that Is
that I went to .Mrs. F.llen Itellly's house to
tako hor acknowledgment to somo of theso
bonds, and I bellovo .Mrs, Mellet was there,
nnd Mlko Scanlan, too,"
If it was represented to you by tlio initios
presontlug tho bond that that was Mrs.
Mellet's signature, and they wanted you to
tako tho acknowledgment, would you, under
such circumstances, have taken tho acknowl
edgment?" "I can't say."
Mr. Ilurko asked : "You aro fully awaro
f your duty as a Justico of the l'eaco in
taking acknowledgments, aro you not?"
"Yes, sir."
"And that is that tho party whoso signs-
turo is to bo acknowledged must appear in
our presenco and acknowledge such to be
his, or her slgnaturo ?"
Yos, Rlr "
Is that tho way you tako acknowledg
ments?"
"Yes, sir."

io witnesses?"
"Yes, sir."
"Whoso name Isdirectly to tho right of
your nanio?"
'Mrs. Mary Mellet's"
'Is that tho lady who was here a few
moments ago and testified ?"
I tupposo it is."
"Whoso name did you witness in that
mud ?"
Mrs. Mary Mellet's mark Is there. I
uoss it is tho one I witnessed."
"Do you say that positively, or is that the
best of your recollection ?"
' That I witnessed It ?"
"Yes?"
"I don't know anything at all about it. I
can't remember anything about it."
How did your namo get thoro?"
"I can't tell that, either. It might bo that
Scanlan camo into tho ollico. I haven't any
collection of Scanlan coming to the ollice
id saying anything about tho name. I
ould havo done it unconsciously, never
linking of what I was doing, or anything
else, or anybody being there."
Did Mrs. Mellet sign that bond with her
mark in your presence?"
That I don t know. I cin't remember
s. Mellet signing anything in my pres-
Mi
uco, and I cau't say when I signed that my
self."
liy Mr. Keilly : "You havo no recollection
f Mrs. Mullet's namo being put to that
ond, and her making her mark in your
rcsonco at any time, or at any placu?
I havo not,"
"And you would have no reason for think-
ng or saying that your namo appeared ou tlio
loud as a witness to her name and mark, ex
ccpt that your name is written opposite?"
Only that is my namo and writing."
liy Mr. Ilurko : "You would not say that
Mrs Mellet cliil not sign her marK in your
resenco?'
"I will say I nover saw her make that
mark that I re.iiember of."
"Hut you wouldn't swear that she didn't?'
"No, I wouldii t 1 havo no recollection of
er making her n- irk in my prcsonco. I
might have done it .lot thinking. She might
mvo signed it across ti.o street ami Scanlan
might havo come over io the ollico and I
witnessed It, or something 'ike that. Hut I'll
give you a tip that tho next 'hue I will see
tho party writo his name."

London, Nov. 2. The Pnrla
epondent of The Dally Mall
corre
says:
"Franco will retire from Fashoda un
conditionally and without asking coin
peiipatloti. "IJaron de Courccl, whose term aa
French ambassador In London expired
long- aco, but who has hold on to con
duet negotiations affectliiff Egypt, will
now bo recalled, and no haste will be
shown to appoint his successor, with
a view ot inakinK French resentment
at British action, for England has al
most taken the placo of Germany as the
object o French hatred.
"Haron De Courcel gathered from a
conversation held after the last Urlt
Ish cabinet council that Lord Salis
bury's attitude had undergone achunge,
the British premier insisting that it
was Impossible to disregard public
opinion In England, and that nothing
could he done until Fnshoda was evac
uated. "So far as French public opinion Is
concerned, there is not the slightest
Idea of koIiib to war for Fashoda, and
any government doing so would be re
garded as a government of imbeciles."
The Daily Graphic says this morn
ing: "Vo learn from an ofllclal source
In Paris that Captain Haratler bears
instructions to Major Mnrchand to re
turn to Fashoda, and then to withdraw
his expedition In the direction of the
upper Ubanghl river, north of Congo,
evacuating Fashoda and the live posts
established by him east of tho frontier
indicated in the Anglo-German agree
ment. "Tho Egyptian government will bo
Invited to send troops to accompany
Major Marchand as he retires from tho
Bahr-El-Ghazal territory, and to re
occupy the posts as they are evacuated
by the French odlcers, thus solving the
difficulty concerning Major Marchand's
revictuulment.
"When Major Marchand's retirement
Is fully ncompllshed negotiations based
on proposals submitted by Baron do
Courcel to Great Drttaln will be open
ed. France Is disposed to recognize
frankly that the reconquest of Omdur
mnn completely changes the situation
as It existed when Mnjor Marchand was
Instructed to proceed to the Nile. The
French government will even state
that, had Marchand been aware of the
khedlvnl ndvance, he would not have
pushed his mission so far east. These
Intentions have not yet been ottlclally
Imparted to Great Britain, but they
probabJy will be before Major Mar
chand's evncuatlon comincnn's."
Without going ho far as Tho Pally
Granhlc, all the special dispatches from
Paris to the morning papers Indicate
that the solution predicted hy The
Dally Graphic will be the one finally
reached, and that, even should France
sulk diplomatically, .1) further serious
consequences are anticipated It Is
not believed, however, that Franc w ".'
pursue the useless course of leaving
her embassy in London vacant.
The acqulr.ecence of the French peo
ple In the revision of the Drey t us case
Justifies tho French cabinet In a con
ciliatory policy. Only ns a means of
withdrawing attention from Internal
troubles could the French government
entertain the Idea of risking war for
Fashodn, and since theic Is no sign of
disorders In Paris the whole situation
has changed.
The war ollice has Issued a semi
official notification In which It says It
does not object to the papers announc
ing military and naval preparations In
general terms, but points out that It
Would be "unpatriotic to publish spe
cific details that might be useful to a
possible foe."
There Is no noticeable cessation In

THE MAN
WITH THE IIAMriER!
The man who wields the hammer
with the most flourish ami makes the
most noise un't always the one who
drives the most nails. His nails
may be bent, his hammer poor, and
when the day's work is done he'll be
tichind. We drive bargains, not
nails, but our stock is up in quality.
The blows of our linmmer arc
accurate anil regular. We are mak
ing n winning record every day in
our CiUOCURV line.
