THE FLORENCES
Doing a Good Business ut the
Grand.

Doing a GOod Business at the
Grand.
On Monday night the Florences open
ed in "The Mighty Dollar, to house
such as the Grand has scarcely ever held.
1t was packed into the aisles, and with
a most fashionable and intelligent audi
ence. The support of the two stars is
decidedly good. better than is usually
seen here.
Last night the play was "Our Cover
nor," who earned his ''little hatchet"
by his wonderfully Monchausenese i'm
agiuatiou. The house was hardly so
large, but it was OF the creme de la creme
of the city.
1t is useless to try to analyze such
plays as these. They are the grossest
nonsense in the world, but they kept
the house in an uproar of laughter while
the curtain was up on both occasions.
Go see them if you want to know what
makes people laugh.
The plays are being set. well, and the
ladies, who by the way, are decidedly
''fair to see," dress with exquists taste.
Mrs. Florence's costumes are the rarest
productions of the art modistical. A
picnic dress worn in the mighty DOL
lar" is of wine and canary colored satin
combined with Spanish blonde lace. An
other gown is of garnet royal satin en-
bossed with ostrich feathers in darker
shade. The garniture is a pink crystal
pasementerie. Sill another worn in the
same play is of pansy-colored velvet; the
tablier front, corsage and sleeves DECOR
ated with heavy fringe and floral gimp
combined of tiny gold and jet beads.
The foot pleating and train are lined
with old gold satin. A charming blue
and gold costume Of brocade satin Yorn
over white satin petticoat; the latter
edged with several rows of deep ruby
fringe, fairly dazzles the eyes with its
loveliness. The corssge is cut low both
back and front, and being sleeveless re-
veals the pretty arm in a manner to
court admiration. Hanging near is a
gown of invisible color, that is, it is al
most too delicate in hue to be seen, and
looks like pale mist. This is embroid-
cred in relief in white silk, and thcsly
studded with opal beads. A second vio-
let velvet is covered with steel and gold
lined beads, square cut corsage, beaded
not sleeves ana high Rembrandt collar of
steel beads.
For tonight "Dombey and Son" is
underlined, In this Mr.. Florence, ss
Captain Cuttle," will give you some
thing to 'make a note ont" He wears
the ''togs," the very identical ''togs" Of
the immortal William Il. Burton in this
role. His makeup" will be something
in q life time for those who never have
seen him yet,

van Rosa, who was recently depo sed
from the leadership of the Fenian BROTH
erhood for having declared in his paper
and in published interv Jews that he had
declined to attend the convention at
which the deposition took place bsca use
he had already decided to cut loose from
it and follow different line of policy in
connection with the United Irshmen
and the Fenian brotherhood, have brok.
en- the seal of secrecy which has here
tofore been put upon their proceedings,
and have issued long address to their
friends on the subject. The address &C.
cuses Rosa of falsehood. treachery, in.
subordination and many other crimes
against the order. They assert
that he not only attended the
convention, but for the first time in
a long period paid up his dues, so that
he could appear in good standing That
be packed the convention by getting his
friends in on proxies. That these friends
when they learned the facts denounced
him. That he sent other friends not in
good standing, who did the same when
apprised of the facts, and that he was
thereupon unanimously "bounced."
That the United Irishmen has not had
an existence for five years. The letter
continues as follows: O'Donovan Rossa
SAYS he will still work with "good men"
of the Fenian brotherhood. "Only bad
men, whoever got into the secrets Of the
brotherhood since the days of the trio
of wretches, Corydon, Massey and
Nagle. who were his (O'Donovan
Rossa's) special friends. "Red jim"
McDermott and Phelan, of Kansas City.
Neither of these were members of the
organization, but he fraternized with
them unknown to the council. To Nc
Dermott who would not be allowed in
the brotherhood he gave, unknown to
the council, credentials virtually making
him an agent of the brotherhood. The
result was the life long Imprisonment ef
these men from their comfortable homes
into cold and cheerless exile. Against
the express commands of the council he
took Phelan to his heart and made
arrangements whereby Phelan could
meet skirmishing agents within the
jurisdiction of English law. On
his own responsibility alone ODon-
ovan Rosa entered into and kept
up negotiations with the woman
Dudley No misfortune has befallen
the Brotherhood of late years, for
which O'Donovan Rosa is not personally
responsible. The address adds that
Rosa again and again declined to ac
count for the skirmishing fund and still
holds the key to the postotfice box to
which it has been the custom to address
contributions to that fund since 1865,
and declares that he will take whatever
comes to it. Therefore another box has
been secured. The document is signed

A Cape Cod Breeze.

BosToN, December IA windstorm
here has lasted all day, and has been &C.
companied by heavy fall of suow,
which interfered seriously with travel in

the approach OF the storm, and signals
were not ordered up until the storm was
here in full force. On Cape Cod the
wind attained velocity of fifty miles an
hour. The storm seemed to approach
from the ocean, and in some respects
was the most remarkable ever known on
this coast.

patch from Ottawa to the Mail. the gov.
ernment organ, says it is not true as
cabled from London that th dominion
government has mt an agent to Wash

or claims in any way. Canada stands
ON the basis of the treaty of 1918, and it
is quite satisfi I'D to remain there for the
present, while favorable to the renewal
OF all of the fisheries treaties at any
time. yet Canada is not the party suf-
fering from the abrogation of that treaty
and does not feel called upon to sacri-
flee one just right to have it renewed.
