The scenes fare laid along the coast-of, Maine, and the - principal characters, including that of Flotsam, ' played "by' Miss Thurston. are typical' of the locality. The Jim act opens, at a summer club house at Terry's Harbor. . Mrs. Elmer, her nephew,'; ?-: Edward, nd ' t, young - society man and;'" "? woman, ' are . - talking over the elder lady's recent narrow escape from drowning, in an accident to her canoe Flotsam, (Miss Thurs ton), whd has- rescued Mrs. Elmer, makes her .entrance dressed In the . 'A' fcS . r ? Girl From Out Yonder.'' oil skins and sou'-wester of a Glou cester fisherman. She is immediately made much of by every one except Clarice Stapleton, the society girl who becomes jealous of her and tries in many ways to humiliate her, but Ed ward Elmer tells her that she is be ing Imposed upori, whereupon Flot sam exhibits a fine quality of temper and drives Clarice to cover. At this time her father, old Cap'n Amos Bar ton, the lighthouse keeper, and Joey Clarke, a fisher-boy in love with Flotsam come on. Mrs. Elmer wants to take Flotsam and have her prop erly educated, for up to the present time she has only learned to be honest from her father and the Bible and to quote Shakespeare. Young Elmer has by now fallen In love with Flot sam and she with him, and he has agreed to go to the Lighthouse Island every day and teach her manners! A first glance at Elmer gives Cap'n Barton an unpleasant surprise. In a conversation between the Cap'n and ' -'V. v i -j ' w A ,'.,,j.Hwl.; Girl and iho; Governor. 'i his frlsnd Ben It trasplres that years nerore tne cap n naa killed a man by the name of Hamilton, r who re minds them both of young Elmer, whose own father had disappeared twenty years before, and It was sup posed had deserted his wife and child Elmer having been cared for by his aunt had dropped his own name, that of Hamilton, and adopted Elmer. The second act, which Is on the lighthouse island starts off with a coined scan between lien and Cous in Slraoneon. Benl has bash asking her to marry him for thirty years, but the Jady claims that the pleasures of widowhood far exceed all others. Then cornea m very pretty love scene between Elmer and Flotsam and tha ' . - mtwn AT t.AAT. '3.

So, at all druggists. at t clones with Joey, Jho has discover ed the Cup'n's secret whllo nurwlng him during a fever, tolling Edmer, in a frenzy of jealousy, that Flotsam's father is the murderer of his own parent. , , .- ' . The old Cap n, whose conscience has scourged him for 'twenty years, begins to sea Yellef in the third act and goes to the officers of the law and confesses. He then sends for Mrs. Elmer and tells her that Flotsam Is not his own daughter, but a waif of the sea, and asks her to take her away. This, of , vH course, would Itralghten out 'her love affair with Elmer, J)ut : Flotsam dlvinoa that her father is making the sacrifice of denying her, so that she may be spar cd the opprobrium of ' his Imprison ment and she refuses to believe him and gives up her lover while telling her father she will take care of the lights until he comes back. ; The fourth act opens on the interior of the lighthouse where Flotsam, Ben Cooke' and Cousin Slmonson are ex citedly awaiting the return of the Cap'n, for his term of Incarceration haa expired and he Is expected borne that day. Both love Affairs are badly tangled, Ben has stopped proposing to Cousin Slmonson because he has dist covered that there is no record of her ever having been married -at all. She confessed that she has only bor rowed a husband and ha him to die so that she might not be thought an old maid. Ben is satisfied and they agree to get married. Joey makes things all right for Elmer and Flot sam by declasing that the dnly .wit ness to the murder of his father has confessed to him that he had killed Hamilton. NOT GUILTY, SAY CONDUCTORS Have Engaged Counsel and Will Fight Case to Bitter End Good-byo to Slot Machines Annual Meeting Stockholders Guilford Battle Ground Company. Special to The Observer. GreenBboro, March 17. The arrest of five employes of the Southern Rail way by the company's detectlvss has aroused considerable Interest here, es pecially among railroad men and the freinds of the five men who are in the toils of the law. Four i f the men are In jail, having. ao far teen unable to give the required bond. It Is thought that the two conductors who are In jail will be t-ble to give bond. The defendants are: A. L. Prltchett, conductor; E. T. Tucker, conductor; Scbe Perry Vail, Cayman; Norman Denson, brakeman, and J. T. Banks, brakeman. A hearing will be given all of the men in a few days and this promisese to be quite inter esting. The men have retained coun sel, and will flght the -ases aga'r.st them. Vail admits that le Is guilty. The others deny having any know ledge of the thefts. Whstntsr or not Vafi has implicated the thers tc the officers Is not known. Detective Ahem, who was instrumental Jn hav ing the arrests made, says that for some time the Southern's freight trains have been robbed, and the de tectives and other officials mvve teen trying hard to locate the guilty par ties. He says that he has satisfactory evidence against the men, aid he ex pects that they will be held for court. Freight has been lost in tran sit and bills, showing that it vas ship ped on the train run by these men, and never delivered, will be produc ed. ' By an order of Attorney General Gilmer all of the slot machines and wheels used at soda fountains here have been removed. For some time nearly all of the fountains and cigar stores here have used wheels that give one five cents worth of goods and probably five times as much for every nickel dropped in the slot. These were drawing cards for the merchants that used them, and they are not happy that the Attorney Gen eral has seen lit to order their re moval. The annual mei'tin of the stock holders of the Guilford Battle Ground Company was held In the directors' room of the Greensboro National Bank yesterday ufernoon and was well attended. Routine business was transacted and plans for the coming year outlined by President Morehead. The reports of officers were adopted. All of the old directors and officers were re-elected. Major Joseph M. Morehead is president and William Love is secretary of tho company. MR. HASTY IN HOSPITAL. Deputy Sheriff Wcatlierly Chain Two Southern Coaches to Tra k Dr. II. 11. Lewis Ro-i:itvtol President North Carolina Audubon Society. 'Special to The Observer. Greensboro, alarcn l'. J- v Hasty, who has been on trial hero this week for alleged violations of the Internal revenue laws, is in St. Leo's Hospital, threatened with an attack of pneumonia. On this account there was no session of United States Dis trict Court to-day, court taking an adjournment until Monday afternoon. Mr. Hasty hopes to be aide to return to the trial Monday morning, as ho does not wish to have the case con tinued. There are only a few more wit nesses for the defendant and, If he Is able to attend court Monday, the case can be given to tho Jury about Wednesday. The evidence ugainst Mr. Hasty Is similar to that against Messers. Samuels and Harutn, no have been convicted. Mr. Samuels has been very 111 at Pilot Mountain and not able to attend the trial of Mr. Hasty. He was summoned as a witness. H. H. Hardin and J. H. Smith were among the defendant's witnesses. They, too, are ex-deputy collectors, as Is Mr. Hasty. Sentences In none of these cases against those convicted of the alleged revenue frauds have been announced. A few days ago Deputy Sheriff W. J. Weatherly, having two Judgments tgalnst the Southern Railway, went to the depot and chained and locked a passenger coach to the 'track. He had two judgments against the com pany, amounting to $190, and had been trying for some time to collect them,, without being ablo to collect the amount,' Since he chained t car down it has beenlstandlng where he left it. This morning the otnYluit of the company notified Mr. Weather ly to move his cer away; that it win In their way, and the heavy traffic demanded that It be removed. Mr. Weatherly has so far not done any thing, but says he will levy on tho track on which It stands, or put the car on tne track of the street car company and move it away until he can sell It At the annual meeting of the North Carolina Audubon Society held In the Gullford-Denbow Hotel . Dr. R. H. Lewis, of Raleigh, was re-elected president, and T. Gilbert Pearson, of this city, secretary, There was a good attendance of members and a number of matters of Interest dis cussed. The annual report of Secre tary Pearson was read, and th show ing made was very gratifying to the members and directors of the associa tion. .

Many Flnees In Charlotte Where Ono May Whllo Away a Fow, Momenta Profitably as Well as Pleasantly Tho - Carnegie Library and the 1 Young Men's Christian Association " Worth Vit The Moving Picture - Shows the Huge Genuine Fun at v ; the Skating Kink at Latu Park, ( "Where can one spend a half-hour pleasantly. In; Charlotte?'.' This ques tion la often asked but seldom an swered.' There are many places in the city where one can spend a few mo ments pleasantly as well aa proflta- bly.''-:v;.vy';;''v';.' . : ". The Carnegie Library Is unsurpass ed in the State for architectural beau ty, inside and out, and for comple ment of books. Volumes of all kinds and magaxines and periodicals with out numbef may be seen at any hour, of the day and far Into the night. Mrs. Annie Smith Boss, the librarian, and her capable assistants, are al ways ready and willing to lend any posstble assistance. Those who have a few epare moments and desire to spend their time In reading, may have the best literature for nothing more than the asking. Those . who have never visited the Young Men's . Christian Association, should do so without delay. The big building, with brown stone front three stories in height. Is one of the handsomest of its kind in the State. The reading rooms, the library, the parlors, the hails, and especially the gymnasium, are all places of interest. The same may be said of the Young Women's Christian Association In kind though not in degree. When the new Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. buildings are finished, one costing $100,000 and the other $50,000, they will be all the more attractive. THE) MOVING PICTURE SHOWS FINE. Passing on to lighter amusements, the two moving picturo establish ments on South Tryon street are drawing large crowds each afternoon and night. The Odeon, operated by Col. Will A. Peters, one of the best citizens in the country. Is an Institu tion that Is rapidly growing In popu larity. The moving pictures shown there are equal to any in the land, be ing similar the famous Shepperd's pictures which are known everywhere. The Aim's are changed Mondays and Thursdays. The admission is 10 cents for adults and S cents for children. Considering the price, there is not a better attraction in the country- The public knows this for the Odeon hall Is crowded almost all the time. Es pecially Is this the case on those days when the pictures change. There are scores of the leading business men who make It a point to drop In regu larly to see "what Col. Peters has se cured." The "moving picture show is one of the marvels of the century. The per fect representations of the manners and customs and life of strange peo ple Is nothing short of wonderful. Recently a series of pictures of life In Burma was shown which was mar velously true to life. The same Is true of the automobile races. Those who have witnessed the great cup con tests on Long Island, New York, de clare that they are perfect In every detail. To see these pictures is educa tional. Instead of taking a tour around the world, one may visit Ger many, China, South Africa, Norway and Sweden with Col. Peters for the modest sum of "a dime, ten cents." The pictures at Wonderland are on a par with those at the Odeon. As a usual thing, the crowd after witness ing Col. Peters' performance cross the street to Wonderland and see what Is doing there. In this way. a most pleasant half-hour can be spent by those who have w.e time and a few grn&'l coins In' i: ir pockets. M UCH FUN AT T 1 1 K SKATING RINK At Latta Park, tho skating rlnk Is In full bhut. Tho skates, aJl of which are ball bearing and of modern design, are available for a few pence and with them goes the privilege of the floor. The management has everything thut Is needed even to tho bottle of lini ment which Col. Bill Nye declared to be one of the three essentials c.t the skating rlnk.vVcry few accidents h.ive happened so far at the rink consider ing the nu.mber of those who have learned the art this season. About the funniest sight in the world Is to see a gawky youth essay to skate for the first time. One foot shoots In one direction and the other In another, the Result being one that Is easily conjectured. Fortunately, a fall from skates Is easy and them In something within a fellow which makes hltn try a second and a doz enth time. Finally he Is ablo to mnke the round of the floor without any Jarring halts and then the sport for him begins. He Is able to watch oth.-r fall. It Is wonderful to see how prac tice makes perfect on skates. At the Latta Park rlnk there are a half doz en kids who run skate on their heels, on their toes, on ono foot, forwards and 'backwards, and In every other conceivable direction. Should one huve a few minutes to spare, he could do far worse than to get on the stret enrs and visit tho Latta Park rlnk. Death of a Young Lady. Miss Eunice Kellor, the only daugh ter of Mrs. Tottle Lambeth, of Mon treal, died at Sacred Heart Academy, at Belmont, Saturday night at 11 o'clock from heart failure. Miss Kel ler was a very attractive young wo man of 15 years. Mrs. Lambeth arrived hero last night and will go to Belmont this morning. The funeral services will bo held at Sacred Heart Academy to morrow morning. - Mischievous Boys Turn In Fake Alarm Mischievous boys turned In on alarm from box 41 ecrly yesterday morning.
