A celebrated Persian sage gave this advice
concerning the choice Of a wife: Choose no
woman whose lips droop at the corners
OF your life viii 10 a perpetual mourning.
nor yet should they curve too much upward,
for that denotes fr1volity. Beware Of tie
under lip that rolieth outward, for tllat
woman hath little conscience. Select for q
wife one whose lips are straight, not thin,
for then she Is a shrew, but with JuS. the
fuIlness necessary for perfect symmetry"

ADJUSTMENTS
THE MARTYRE.


In the Celebrated Case" and the 1.-TWO
Orphans Adolph DeEnnery established
himself as one of the greatest dramatic
authors, and his recent production, 1.-The
Martyre," is fully up to the standard of
his other successes. The play gives great
scope for fine acting and magnificent
wardrobe, and the Clair Patee company,
in its production, last night added new
laurels and gained liberal encouragement
from their efforts. Edith Arnold, in the
character of Laurence de Moray, the mar
tyre, was in her element, and in some of
the emotional scenes she was even better
than ever. Mr.. Kimball, as Count de
Moray, surpassed any work he has
done heretofore Willard Simms
was excellent is Sir Michael Drake, and
Robert Burrell. In the second act he in
troduced some good Irish specialties. Wv
ian Patee as the Duchess of San Lucea ap-
peared to better advantage than in any
character yet presented by that lady. Oh
lie Evans. Mr.. Chesley and Mr.. Garvin
each had good characters and made de-
cided impressions upon their audience.
The costuming of this piece was very at
tractive. and the stage settings were supe-
rior to any yet presented this season. To-
night this company will present the
laughable comedy widow Bedotte, "
Willard Sims appearing in the title role.
The play is said to give ample scope for
displ aging this gentleman's versatility and
the other members of the company will
present some fine speciality work. This
play is arranged for laughing purposes
only, and all admirers of comedy should
be present.
THE LADIES BAND
Misses Alice and Nellie Nicholson and
Miss Lille Baker, members of the Kate
Bakers Ladies' band, arrived last evening
/ to join the Clair Patee company. These
ladies are all first-class musicians, and
will appear in the parade today. The first
| two ladies are from Osborne, Kansas, one
of them is considered to be the finest lady
| tuba player in the United States.
/ TO SHUT OUT THAT SOUND.
! Manager Crawford last evening stated
| that he had yesterday put the carpenters
| to work upon the doors of the Beals' dane
| ing academy, and was endeavoring to have
something done to deaden the sounds Of
| the piano in the hail. which appear to
cause great deal of complaint from the
