The first love scene between the pair, while the squire fiiill believes ?Mary to be an Incorrigible gypsy maid, Is said to be a splendid piece om com edy, full of the clever lines at the writing of which Esmond has always been considered a past master.

Additional interest Is lent In the first act. ret In .Mary's palatial Sir me In Park Lane, London, by the whimsicalities of her two guardians, and in the other acts, laid in seques erea nooks and shady thickets of the Hew Fore, by the accompaniment of XtfOtherllove affair, let's idyllic, but no less entertaining, between Sir Ken afli Frlarly. an eccentric young socie ty man. and Peggy Inarledew, Mary's tittle spitfire and worldy-wlse secre tary.

All of the men connected with the new eencern have had much ex perience and the success of the un dertaklng is assured. Much interest is centered in the Democratic primaries to be held in Salisbury March 27th, for the purpose of naming candidates for mayor and aldermen. So far A. L. Smoot is the on'y candidate for the chief magistra cy, -while there are a number of avow ed aspirants for a place on the -board of aldermen. The city is decidedly Democratic, though it to positively stated that there will tve en lndepend cct ticket in opposition. This. It is said, will be named hy the Good Gov ernment League.

Graham, an Ameri can traveler who has reoently returned to this city, after visiting all the Cen tral American capitals, the trouble fomented in that region by President Zelaya of Nicaragua Is the result of a definite programme having for its object the enforced Intervention of the United States In Central American affairs. Both Honduras and Salvador have already appealed to the State Depart ment at Washington to intervene, and Zelaya is co-operating with them, ac cording to this authority. Zelaya and the other Central American exec utives cannot retire, as that might mean forfeiture of fortune or life. If Intervention will bring about the fed eration of the five republics, allowing the present rulers to step down and enjoy peacefully the huge fortune each has amassed, the purpose of Zelaya and his allies will have been accom- lished. according to Mr. Graham.

That Uncle Sam wouM make a very poor real estate agent Is indicated by the advertisement for the lease. t of Santa Barbara Island, which the gov ernment has Just Issued. In the bald statement ' of the attractions of the little Island off the coast of California is made to gloss over its many draw backs as a place of residence. The advertisement of a request, for bids, in all its brutal frankness, reads as follows: . "The island is aboat 40 milesTrom the ma in land is is about one and one half miles long and one mile wide. The Pacific Coast Pilot states that there is no water on the island and no grass, but plenty of 'prickly pear and shrubs. The island rises to an elevation of 647 feet.
