PEOPLf.'@ HEATER.

The new members of the Peoples
theater, who appear at the popular
place of amusement for the first time
tomorrow night, will make the stock
company one of the strongest in the
West. Leslie Gossin, the new leading
man. is well and favorably known in
the East. He has never been in the
West but once, and that was when he
was playing leads in the company of
Rossi, the Italian tragedian. Last sea-
son he starred in ''The Black Flag"
He is a versatile actor. Miss Sibyl
tombstone, the leading lady, is most
attractive lady. She has youth, beauty
and unusual artistic talent. She played
in Minneapolis two years ago, in the
leading role in "Clio," and made great
hit. She created the part of Mrs..
Nicholas Van Alystyne in 1.-THE Hem
rietta," when Robson and Crane
produced it in New York. and
played it until the company went
talk of New York. Miss Ella Salisbury,
the. new soubrette. is charming little
lady with pretty face, swapping black
eyes and trim figure. She made a
great success in ingenue roles with
George S. Knight aud Janisch. Evelyn
Evans, the new stage manager, was for
years one of the foremost English
leading men, and in addition to being
most excellent actor of long experiences,
he is deeply yerSed in stage lore, and is
a fine scholar besides.
The new members will appear to-;
morrow night in an authorized version
of Bronson Towards great society play,
1.-The Bankers Daughter" which made
the foundation of his successful career.
The play is one of the most popular
ever written by an American.

PENCE OPERA HOUSE.

ssManager Book, of the Pence, says
'sThe Little Countess" which he an
nounces for the first half of this week,
is remarkably pretty play-as good as
Caprice" or ''Chick," or "a Mountain
Pink" There is plenty of comedy in
it, all excellent part for Miss Rodgers,
and romantic plot. The play is en-
t rely new, and every care mas been
taken to make the opening performance
tonight as smooth and finished as tn,
play deserves. Beginning with Neil
ScuIly's benefit, which is rendered him
by the management Thursday night,
''Solon Single will be skeootin' reound
the Pence loOkin' fer tibet bar'l NV
apple-sass." Mr.. Scully will introduce
Mr.. Single. The remainder of the
benefit programme ineindes Sweet
hearts," a bright comedteita, and a
funny sketch or two by j. C. Callahan,
pear as Henry Irving in Hamlet and
s.lnake up" for the character on the
stage iii full view of the audience.
ssSolon Single" and 'Sweethearts" will
be the double bill for Friday and Satur-
day.
The Robert Emmett Literary society
will be rendered benefit at the Pence
Monday evening, March 4. Frederick
Book will deliver Emmett's famous
speech. The play will be "An Irish
Princess"
Work is progressing On the scenery
and stage effects for s'Mr. Potter of
Texas" which will soon be seen at the
Pence. Mr.. Book is taking plenty of
time to stage the play aud study the
character. as he believes the bluff, big
hearted Texan millionaire will take
place among his best roles. The dram
atization is original in the city. and the
Pence production will be the first pres
entation of this singularly dramatic
story upon the stage.

Minor Announcements.

Ex-Manager ". e. Sterling and Marie
Wellesley (Mrs. Sterling), of the Peo-
pies theater, are to have benefit at the

the members of the Pence company,
together with Miss Steward. Miss Kemp,
little Florine Brondage, j. E. Nelson.
Mr.. Brondage, Mr.. Fernandez, late of
the Peoples Theater company. AS
there is great deal of sympathy for
Mr.. and Mrs. Sterling, the house will
doubtless be crowded by their friends,
although the production in itself will lie
sufficient.

"A Legal Document" at New Orleans
this week. He writes he has had good
business during the past two weeks.

list, and Miss Ellen Cav. vocalist, both

A FORETAsTE OF FASHION.
What Spring Will Decree for the
Smart Girl.

We are going to have q rain and
very heavy one. It will be rain of
spangles; they will come down on your
parasol, upon your fan, on the belt of
your Empire gown: they will be spat
tered on the lace frills about your
throat, and they will almost conceal the
fact that your new bonnet is made of
so plebeian a material as straw.
Occasionally some few people. those
who are not careful about their
steps and the places where they walk.
will get them on their slippers and on
their stockings; but this may be set
were mud-bespattered. The wise
woman will remember that spangles on
stockings are too suggestive of the
corps de ballet to be in good form, and
that spangles on slippers only tend to
make the feet look larger, and are not
really pretty. In France they are
using the steel spangIes, especially Oh
gowns of gray, wonderfully dainty
color called tourterelle.
A very smart gown for bride who is
to be married in the early spring is of
cashmere and MORE of the desired dove
shade; the petticoat is of the silk and
over it is full soft drapery of the stuff,
while the bodice is of the same artistic
material and arranged in folds that give
breadth where it is necessary, and yet
intensity the smallness of the waist.
The bonnet is of gray chip with bunch
of fine green fern leaves just in front,
the paraSoI is OF gray tulle, the fan of
gray gauze and the gloves are long,
gray, undressed kid ones. On the high
collar. deep cuffs and broad belt, on the
fan, paraSol and bonnet the steel
spangles are lavished, and even the peo-
pie who insist that spangles are ''too
circusy" are forced to confess that the
effect in this instance is artistic, and
that the whole toilette is a symphony in
gray.
Two of the most glaring of the green
shades are to be the vogue during the
coming season, and the woman who can
wear one of them and not look as if she
had Just recovered from violent attack
of what the daTkies call the ''yellow
janders, should be purchased by some
cosmetic firm and exhibited as the re-
suit of their mrivaled paste, cream or
powder, as might be. The green is
seen on st. Patrick's day, but its like
never appears any other time. 1t is
calculated to set ones teeth on edge.
and am sure if the White house were
painted that color no man would ever
struggle to get into it.

Darlings of Corsets Cheap at Only
Four Dollars,

And now you must have q pair of
Pompadour silk corsets. The leading
houses show the popular styles-that is.
the 81 grade. in which the bones are
woven to suit the delicate curves of the
body, the lining being of some pliable
white goods, while the outer stuff is
French silk of the court pattern. There
are several shades of green, brown,
cream and red, with stripes Of flowers
running down in, nicely graduate d
cores. To the lovers OF nice underwear
the novelty is certain to find favor.
After all, a poor corset is about
the poorest article woman can
invest in, for it not only wears badly,
but prevents the correct fit of dress
aud spoils the figure. There are no
straight lines in the human body, and
when woman attempts to adjust her
self to Steeled waist she insults art as
we'll as nature. Then. too, there is
trick in lacing corset. Given Shapely
pair of stays. begin at the top and lace
down, crossing the ribbons. Leave the
last tour eyelets empty if you are medi-
UNI in hip measurement and six 1T large.
Don't use cord. 1t shows in the back of
the waist. A silk lacing will cost Is
cents, last just as long and give treble
the effect. In comparison there is the
same difference between cotton cable
and flat silk lace as there is between
kid and cotton gloves. GymnaStic cor
sets, intended for walking or riding, are
in the market. made uf lightweight

AN AMERICAN PEERLESS.
GIrs. Chamberlain Has Full Swing

Mrs. Chamberlain Has Full Swing
in English Society.
The attitude of English photographers
toward Mrs. Chamberlain is one of
Difference, not to say awe, and it is Ger
tainly more gallant to carpet the path
of a charming young woman with It's
sue Of complimentary improbabilities
and miSstatements than of uncompIi-
mentary. On Mrs. Chamberlain's ac-
count Mr.. Chamberlain is to be made
peer. On Mrs. Chamberlain account
the decoration laws of the draw
ing room are to be relaxed.
On Mrs. Chamberlain's account
the radical Bagstock is to
break his idols, worship the socio-con-
sentative mammon, exchange cigarettes
with the Prince of Wales and become
prime minister. With us in America
the expression of woman in politics is
probably typified by the eplcene spin
Ster, or at least, emancipated wife, who
fines her woes and petitions in the
face of committees and demands 1egiS-
lation for divisions of humanity which
discover that they are suffering so soon
as they put on spectacles. But the
Englishwoman in politics takes
the chairman Of committee home to
his dinner and pleads the cause
of her legislation with his marital
pheasant and filet, and throwing her
subtle and seductive petticoat influence
in favor not of legislation for sex or
class, but of legislation which will make
Mr.. Chairman 3ir. Secretary, after that
Right Honorable and after that His
Lordship. No one, says Balzac. is SO
unscrupulous as the father of family.

desperate task? There was little sail
plnnging down from out the Golden
Gate at all speed, as if the huge man at
the helm half guessed that this gather
ing of ships was signal of trouble to
him or his. 1t was her father. No; she
would not let him suffer: not while she
lived. She would end it all now and at
once. Tightening, testing the cord once
more and for the last time taking care
that no sharp rock should come
in contact with its precious threads and
fibers. she grasped it tightly in both
hands and hastily let herself down over
the beetllng ledge. Would it hold her?
Land her Safely in the surf and surge
below?' Was it long enough, and was
it surely strong enough? Boats started
men stood to their oars. Every prov
was turned pointing to the Lions
Head, ready to leap forward to the
rescue. Down. down! down! Every
man held his breath. Down! down!
DOWN. Fifty! One hundred! One
hundred and fifty feet! Only fifty feet
more and the foamy, troubled rocks and
sea lions below will receive her! But
what is the matter? Why pause sus-
pended in the air by that thin and in
visible cord? An empty hand reaches
out heiplessly in the air in sign that all
is over. The rope is exhausted. Men
stand as if
STUNNED AND STRUCK DUMB.
The girl makes the sign of the cross,
and men who never PRAYED before are
praying now. Those who would dis
dain to pray for their own lives are
praying for this poor girl. Tears are
in every eye and in every ut
terance. Her both hands now
clutch close and hard to the
cord, as if she breads to die. Her
bosom heaves heavily; her feet are
but water beneath her, instead of stone
sea! Oh, but to be able to drop down
into the sea twenty, thirty feet out from
the base of the precipice!
Suddenly it seems as if the tall,
slim form hanging so helpless up there
in the air. begins to move; to sway. to
swing: first little, as if the sea winds
had come up wandering from the sea
and had begun to buffet her about But
no! 1t is not the clustering and in
substantial wind that is slowly NOV
ing her to and fro! to and fro!
to and fro! from wall to sea. Her long.
1.-the limbs are alive, sinuous, eloquent
with action. To and fro! to and fro!
Faster! faster! Ten feet out toward
the open sea! Fifteen! Twenty!
ThirtyI And away. like beautiful
rainbow falling out of heaven from its
own splendor, the graceful and au-
dacious girl, with divine audacity,
leaves the rope behind her, and, as if
coming down to US on the arms of a
rainbow, darts feet first into the open
sea, where yellow sail with the swift
est keel and the stoutest heart in all the
land or on all the seas is waiting to re-
ceiye her."
That is where / step copying from

and FIVE feet broad, set in rosewood,
with frames nine feet high, with carved
flowers in relief, and pedestals to fix
them in: also beautifully adorned with
foliage, animals and birds. Each mir
