"a PAIR OF JACKS. .n-One of the
most novel and original farcical
comedies eyer produced will be seen
rat the opera house next Wednesday
evening. 1t is II. Grattan Donnei-
ley's latest contribution to the stage
and mas been well described as a
"meteor flash OF fun Mr.. D)n-
nelly gives William Shakespeare
some of the credit for "a Pair Of
Jacks" inasmuch as the idea
of the two drOmios has been
used in it, but it can be asserted with
confidence that the Bard Of Avon,
never dreamed of such rio,ous fun
as Mr.. D1nnelley has evolved from
the association of Judge Jack and
Doctor Jack, the pair Of modern
dromios. The best available COM
edy and vocal talent has been en-
gagged for the production. Il. G..
Knowles, recently comedian at
August in Daly's theatre, and w. j.
Russell, q favorite in faTce-comedy,
are the two Jacks. Sol Aiken, j. P.
Savage, Ernest Sinclair and Julius
7. Witmark are among the mem
bers Of the company. The latter is
the famous boy baritone whose sing
ing has been a feature of many New
York performances. This is his
first appearance in comedy. \ beyy
of handsome and talented girls is
made up of Luella Evans, recently
prima donna at the the Tivoli opera
house, San Francisco, Mollie
Thompson, the popular young SOU
brette, Winifred Johnson, the lady
banjoist, Nina Heynard, Alice
Greene and Margery Thompson.
The very latest London and New
York songs are made use of in the
performance which will be one of
the brightest of the season.

good judgment on the part of the
school directors and clerk to select
such body Of instructors from the
hundreds of urging applications
which were sent in.
While they have an efficient corps
of teachers would be good time to
consider the advisability of keeping
the same teachers as long as good
work is done and satisfaction given.

1t took but eight working days to
pass the admirable re-apportionment
bill and adjourn. The members of the
Legislature deserve thanks for the
prompt and energetic manner in which
they disposed of the business of the
session. 1t is satisfactory bill to near
ly all the members of both houses.
With our tremendous increase of pop-
ulation the Legislature was increased
but seven members, the number being
fixed at "a in the senate and IS in the
house. Save in necessary amend
ment to the registration law passed by
the first legislature, there was no other
legislation carried on ut the special ses-
sion. In this, the members showed
wisdom. With the state fairly distric-
ted the political contest for supremacy
will now proceed until settled at the
polls in November, The result is
plainly foresee2 A good working re-
publican majority will undoubtedly be
elected in both houses of the legisla-
ture. Good men should be selected

The Prince of Peace.

1t is not often that we review such
book as "The Prince of Peace, or the
Beautiful Life of Jesus" by Mrs. Isa-
bella Alden, whom the world knows
and honors as "Pansy." AS may be-
judged from its title, this book deals
with peerless theme.
Search the world around and the
ages through, and no nobler specimen
of manhood can be found than that
presented in the man Christ Jesus.
This is by no means partizan judg-
ment, but historically considered, this
is a point generally conceded.
The title suggest the view made
prominent in the book 1t is the
princely; presenting the royal sid.
In sketching Ills beautiful life, Mrs.
Alden never loses sight of the loving,
lowly. humanitarian side of Jesus ma
ture and work; but he is always the
noble, exalted, princely friend of man.
He is clearly above those among whom
he moves but he is not above them in
unapproachble separatenes,. He is
accessible for the lowliest, and when
one comes to him, there is always for
that one moral uplift. The prince
exalts his subjects every time.
The peaceful nature of his conquests
are beautifully shown. The world has
had long lines OF princes who have
swayed national destinies on the fields
OF conquest; but this Prince is great
er conqneror than them all, and yields
wider sovereignty, and yet peace is
the watchword of his cohorts, as it Was
the song of angels who announced. his
birth.
One need not be assured that such Il
theme receives matchless treatment at
the hands of Mrs. Alden. Her life
long devotion to the interests of this
Prince and her hearty love for all that
pertains to his kingdom, guide her
skillful pen and enrich her fervid rhet-
| Oric as she dlscourses on the great
events of his career. 1t is not too much
to say OF her book that, while it will
charm the child, it will also edify the
man. 1t is rich in incident, clear in
exposition, faithful in application
transparent in phraseology, and beaut-
it'll in all its parts.
The publishers, Continental Pub
fishing Co. of st. Louis, have made IA

pages are adorned with wealth of il
