The Doings of a Body of Fools.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April l4.-Upon the
House being called to order there was a
pretty full attendance. The first business
brought up ofimPoCtance was the report of
the special committee on the employees Of
rhe House and proved an interesting docu.
ment to them at least. The report showed
that the cost of the House and the office OF
the Secretary of State so for this session
had been $32 ,434 which they considered was
tar in excess of what was necessary. The
report contended that Speaker Hsines had
only been delegate with power to employ
twenty. FIVE janitors, but instead he had en-
ployed eighty FIVE and so on in proportion
with the other offices. The report recon-
mended q sweeping reduction all round.
Speaker Haines made defense Of his
action, criticised the report and also ridi'
culed Dill, the chairman, who, he claimed
had had FIVE persons placed on the pay roll.
Dill replied, defending his action. Before
the report was disposed of the Senate was
announced in joint convention. Forty.hve
Senators and 1873 Representatives were
present. Only one vote was cast and that
for ] C. Black.

AMUsEAIENN
MILE RHEA IN ARCADIA"

Mile Rhea appeared at the Opera House
last night in Sardou's French comedy
drama Arcadia" As for the play itself. il
is of the usual French type, recognizable as
from the pen Of Sardou and consequently
good, the Objectionable features having
been eliminated in its translation.
The story Of "Arcadia" deals chiefly with
the complications which groE out Of q
young man, Henri Leverdier, with the wife
OF Baron de Trueville, who is older than
herself, Pauline The wifes sister, Helene,
(Rhea) is in love with the young man, and
is beloved by him in return. The jealous
husband suspects the worst, and his sus-
picions at last find justification when the
supposed lover is found in the house; but he
excuses his presence there, which was
really for the purpose Of saving the wife
honor, by confessing that he came to rob.
The trute is at last discovered, and all ends
happily. This portion Of the story is told
in terse, crisp and animated dialogue, and
the work Of translation generally has been
done in creditable and effective manner.
The part Of the wrongly suspected baroness
may be considered the more important OF
the two principal women in the play. 1t
certainly stiorus stronger opportunities Tor
acting than the other. The value of the
play, or part, however matters COM
paratively little, and has as little effect
on its success if Rhes plays 1t. 1t is Rhea
and not the play, nor perhaps even the &C
tress that attracts Rhea has been called
divine by many Bunthorn admirer. Rhea
-. ka. -
vivaeiously and chsrmingly human. 1t is
imaginable. that in French, pure and simple
Rhea is divine but in broken English Rhea
is lovely and mortal woman. Her accent
is feature OF her performance that none Of
her legion Of admirers would have her part
with. 1t gives piquant drolluess to GER
tain parts that would otherwise be lost,
and an individuality to her acting as
whole that is certainly delightful
In the comic scenes OF Helene M lie
Rhea was seen at her best, while, in the
few emotional passages she revealed q
depth and strength that proved the accom-
plished sctress.
The Baroness was displayed in a sympa-
thetic, interesting and intelligent manner,
by Miss Mac Clark Mr. John T. Sullivan
enacted the Baron with dignity, discretion
and admirable taste throughout. Mr.. W.
l.. Dennis as the young lover, Henri, was
as passionate as Faust" Mr. 5. r. Ar
mory as the Country Schoolmaster, acted
with humor that was none the
less effective because il was unob.
trusive. The father, Leverdier, had an
excellent representative in Mr.. Il. 6, Will
son, who performed it with marked strength
and impressiveness. A very praisewor,hy
effort was that OF Mr.. Feree, as the speech
making justice. Miss Ella Wren, as the
schoolmaster wife, merits word o! com
mendation for the spirit and freshness of her
efforts. In fact, the cast generally, acquit.
ted itself in a manner that merits hearty
recognition for its care and its effectiveness

the ragged heaps of wreck. The fireman

ruins. The hope grows stronger, however,
that this may not be so. Neither at the
