1t has been Mr.. Frederick Warde'e

as 1t presented "llenry WHIP at the

together to giYe Shakesperian drama,

tho result WAS performance OF hivh

and Queen katherine, which redwrs good
abilities, and these tho house was ouick

the trial scene she rises to superb

one seeming lack Of tho play Is that the
star is not seen often enough-a fault,
Il 1t be fault, which the audience turns
into compliment to tho great actor OF
whom It would have more. OF Mr..
Warde's power, delicacy and finish It
Is difficult TO say anything new, for he
Is no newcomer in the front rank OF

makes the crafty cardinal live again.
The character does not give him so great

'Galba, the Gladiator" but he gives all

his is all that can be asked. The splen.
lid SUCCESS OF the performance as A

Some surprises were found when the
result OF the balloting was known. Gen.
orally the councils voted solidly in one
way. There were no small majorities
for or against tho change. The vote
against the change, especially in this
county, was surprise to every one.

They Run.


They isun.
WASHINGTON, Oct. bids were
opened at the Navy Department to-day
for the construction for the Navy oi
three coast-linc battle ships aud ono
triple screw cruiser. The bids were as
follows: ". f. Cramp 4 Sons, of Phil.
adelphiG, offered to build one OF the
battle shiEs according to the Department
plans for Soo,990,000, aud two Of them for
s., $4,000. This firm offers to build the
protected cruiser on Department plans
for S22,725.O0O. The Union Iron Works,
Of San Francisco, oilers to build one OF
the battle ships accorling 10 Department
p!ans for S22,2i0, 900 and two of them for
SG,400,0G0. Their bid for the cruiser was
S3,0e5, 900. The Bath Iron Works, OF
Eath, Me-, offered to build one OF the
battle ships on Department plans for
s., li9, and tho Risdou Iron Works, OF
San Francisco. offered to build one of
that Class ior s., ,22S5 900.
In view OF provision OF law that one
OF the battle ships shall be built on the
Pacific coast, it is likely tha. the Union
Iron Works will get the contract for one
OF the battle ships and the Cramps will
probably get the contracts for the other
two battle ships and the protected
cruiser.
