The mangled body was found by one of the men lyingacross the track near the crossing at Fourth street. His head was severed from his body, and the physician who was summoned declared that nearly every bone In his body was broken.

Goldsmith Beatrice Hive Miss Ruth Mackay Polly Maddox Miss Florence Parker Rosina Hrlggs Miss Oeorgle Mcmlum Margaret Qucntln Miss Ethel Beale "The Usurper" Is n serious comedy- drama and to many In last evening's audience Its chief disappointment was that It afforded so Rood a comedian as Mr. Goodwin so few opportunities to provoke laughter. What drollery there was In the play was well brought forward by the star and company and It formed a pleasant flavor to a melo- dramatic series of incidents. There are some Intense climaxes excellently sus- tained and made to appear Infinitely more plausible than most of what passed for truth In the same author's ought-to-be-forgotten "Jim Bludsoe," but that mastery of stage technique which makes a play a harmonious whole was lacking. Mr. Goodwin has the role of John Maddox, a cowboy who has made his fortune and gone to England to find the girl with whom he fell in love ten years before on the plains In America. He becomes the lessee of a baronial estate and finds the girl, but in order to make the necessary complication the author has her engaged to a neighbor- ing landowner. Sir George Trenery. It is the bringing about of the usual happy ending that makes the play from this point on. Villain in Disguise This conclusion Is reached by the easy process of making Sir George a villain in disguise and the hero one of the few persons able to see him Inhis right llsht and the only one able to bring him to his Just deserts. The heroine, Beatrice Clive, is made spe- cially dense in reading the villain's true character, and the author has her insist that she will believe no slanders and that she will marry Sir George in Eplte of everything 1 . These noble resolves of h«rs do not daunt the astute cowboy hero, who says he knows he cannot have Beatrice Clive for all his ten years' waiting and his twenty millions, but that he will pee to it that Sir George, the black- guard, doesn't. In order to prevent her from eloping with her fiance, Mad- dox chucks her into the tower room, whera the servant unwittingly locks them in as he closes the house for the night. Conveniently in that same tower there is in hiding the father of the girl who was "wronged," as the papers say, by Sir George. Once in an effort for ven- geance he was careless enough to shoot the wrong man, and for that they put him in prison, from which he has escaped and has come to hide in the tower, from where he can appeal to Sir George and perhaps await another opportunity to satisfy the honor of his family name. In an Intense scene which follows the caging of these three characters together the heroine learns the truth concerning the man Bhe was marrying. The convict lays down In a curtained embrasure for a sleep, which ends In death, Maddox and Beatrice Clive find some supper which the con- vict's daughter has brought for her father— and the rest Is easy. Mr. Goodwin's Acting It is unnecessary to speak of Mr. Goodwin except to say he is Btlll the finished actor whom wo have learned to admire in the years that have passed and gone. He Btlll uses the same quiet methods and his work has yet the old naturalness that has always made him so acceptable. His opportunities are not bo great as in other plays with which he has been connected, but they are ample to show that he is Btlll worthy to be reckoned among the princes in the realm of comedy. His tace has lost none of Its wonderful mobility, his voice nothing of its music, his eyes none of their power of expres- sion. That he Is still a favorite the large audience last night bore eloquent testimony and that he deserved the favor with which he met none will deny. Miss Iluth Mackay made a stately Beatrice Clive, but failed to convince In some of the more difficult aceneß. Florence Parker was delightfully stren- uous a "typical American girl," and Oeorgle Mendum gave distinction to the role of the stenographer. Ethel Beals was sufficiently intense for the unfortunate girl. The others of the company were satisfactory. Mrs. M. F. Carner, proprietress of the Oranvllle apartments, 225 North Olive street, reported to the police that a burglar entered her hotel some time Monday afternoon and stole $21 in sil- ver from her writing desk, $5 In gold Colonel Eddy, proprietor of the An- gel's Flight, reported to the police yesterday that burglars had entered his power house by means of a skele- ton key and stolen $12 In canh and $25 worth of tickets. As the tickets ure valued at just one cent apiece a detec- tive will be detailed to watch for a man who rides on the flight with 2500 tickets In his pockets.

"The Usurper."A comedy-dramd In four acts by J.

N. Morris, presented last evening nt theMason opera house by N. C. Goodwinand supporting company under thedirection of George J. Appleton. Thecast :John Maddox Mr. N. C.

"The Usurper" Is n serious comedy-

drama and to many In last evening'saudience Its chief disappointment wasthat It afforded so Rood a comedian asMr. Goodwin so few opportunitiesto provoke laughter. What drollery

there was In the play was well brought

forward by the star and company and

It formed a pleasant flavor to a melo-

dramatic series of incidents. There aresome Intense climaxes excellently sus-tained and made to appear Infinitelymore plausible than most of whatpassed for truth In the same author'sought-to-be-forgotten "Jim Bludsoe,"

but that mastery of stage technique

which makes a play a harmoniouswhole was lacking.

Mr. Goodwin has the role of JohnMaddox, a cowboy who has made his

fortune and gone to England to find thegirl with whom he fell in love tenyears before on the plains InAmerica.He becomes the lessee of a baronialestate and finds the girl, but in orderto make the necessary complication theauthor has her engaged to a neighbor-ing landowner. Sir George Trenery. Itis the bringing about of the usualhappy ending that makes the playfrom this point on.

Villain in DisguiseThis conclusion Is reached by the

easy process of making Sir George a

villain in disguise and the hero one ofthe few persons able to see him Inhisright llsht and the only one able tobring him to his Just deserts. Theheroine, Beatrice Clive, is made spe-

cially dense in reading the villain'strue character, and the author has her

insist that she will believe no slanders

and that she willmarry Sir George in

Eplte of everything1.These noble resolves of h«rs do not

daunt the astute cowboy hero, whosays he knows he cannot have BeatriceClive for all his ten years' waitingand

his twenty millions, but that he willpee to it that Sir George, the black-

guard, doesn't. In order to prevent

her from eloping with her fiance, Mad-dox chucks her into the tower room,

whera the servant unwittingly locks

them in as he closes the house for thenight.

Conveniently in that same tower thereis in hiding the father of the girl whowas "wronged," as the papers say, by

Sir George. Once in an effort for ven-geance he was careless enough to

shoot the wrong man, and for that they

put him in prison, from which he has

escaped and has come to hide in the

tower, from where he can appeal to

Sir George and perhaps await anotheropportunity to satisfy the honor of hisfamily name. In an Intense scenewhich follows the caging of these threecharacters together the heroine learnsthe truth concerning the man Bhe was

marrying. The convict lays down In acurtained embrasure for a sleep, whichends In death, Maddox and BeatriceClive find some supper which the con-vict's daughter has brought for herfather— and the rest Is easy.

Mr. Goodwin's Acting

Itis unnecessary to speak of Mr.Goodwin except to say he is Btlll thefinished actor whom wo have learnedto admire in the years that have passed

and gone. He Btllluses the same quietmethods and his work has yet the oldnaturalness that has always made himso acceptable. His opportunities arenot bo great as in other plays withwhich he has been connected, but theyare ample to show that he is Btlllworthy to be reckoned among the

princes in the realm of comedy. Histace has lost none of Its wonderfulmobility,his voice nothing of its music,his eyes none of their power of expres-sion. That he Is still a favorite thelarge audience last night bore eloquenttestimony and that he deserved thefavor with which he met none willdeny.

Miss Iluth Mackay made a stately

Beatrice Clive, but failed to convinceIn some of the more difficult aceneß.

Florence Parker was delightfully stren-

uous u» a "typical American girl,"andOeorgle Mendum gave distinction tothe role of the stenographer. EthelBeals was sufficiently intense for theunfortunate girl. The others of thecompany were •satisfactory.

Mrs. M. F. Carner, proprietress ofthe Oranvllle apartments, 225 NorthOlivestreet, reported to the police thata burglar entered her hotel some timeMonday afternoon and stole $21 in sil-ver from her writingdesk, $5 In gold

Colonel Eddy, proprietor of the An-gel's Flight, reported to the policeyesterday that burglars had enteredhis power house by means of a skele-ton key and stolen $12 Incanh and $25

worth of tickets. As the tickets urevalued at just one cent apiece a detec-tive will be detailed to watch for aman who rides on the flight with 2500tickets In his pockets.
