that wonderful series of adaptations from

which so startled the theatrical world with
their wealth of emotional incident and
graphic character portrayals. There was a
slight break in the sequence of events dur
ing Mr.. Palmer retirement from theatrical
life. but upon his return he reorganized the
company with the same hand, as firm as of
yore, and the Madison-square Theater be-
came the scene of their endeavors. The an

BURRHL's holiness.

Mr. Burrill goes to New York next week
and thence to London, Paris and Berlin, re-
turning here in September. Speaking of
the eompany's plans he said the other night:
" expect TO open in Frisco on January 1St,
and feel confident that, despite the heavy
expense attendant on a company like ours,
the venture will be great success finan-
cially. at the Tivoli, with an ordinary
company, the Krelings have made money
out of comic opera steadily for twelve years,
and the big grand opera companies have
been we'll patroniZed when they visited the
city. With our hrst-class comic opera COM
pany and grand opera organization like
we intend having, which | may say with
truth, will be the greatest since MapIeson's
time, | feel sure that, so TO speak, we will
be in it. Fl" The syndicate has great faith
in Mr. Burrill, for it is willing, if necessary,
to build a thsater for him. His salary will
be 500 a week and very liberal percentage
of the Profits. And 1t might be added that
he will be worth every penny of it.

You will find your question with reference

illustrated article in THE SUNDAY CALL of

the same date. You have not taken into
consideration the fact that there is great
deal of difference in guns of the same cali
Der, in the strength of the explosion and the
shape of the projectile. All of these mat
ters have TO be considered in saying how far
a gun would carry or what its penetrating
force would be.

a brand-new alegOrical and operate ro-
nance. entitled Aquilo." written by r. C..
White author Of "She') and Mr.. Adolph
Bauer. New and special scenery has been
prepared for this production, which, judg-
ing by the incidents in the synopsis, prem
ises to be a successful one. The action
takes place in the high ATTITUDES where ice
bergs flash destruction down" The first
act is devoted to the voyage of the bark
Bereas, bound far tie polar seas, and her
wreck, leaving the freebooters, who manned
her. adrifi in boat, helpless on the icy sea.
The second act presents the Island of De-
sertus, with G0rgens, Erynpys or Harples
and a sort OF meange OF evil spirits, that
agreeable. They are addressed by Queen
AQuilo as
Drabs and monsters. Gorgons foul and fell,
And We thrcecursed tripietS of hell
Strong language, it is true, but which has
lis effect for it puts to flight these ministers
of DEATH" In the third act we deal with
cave in Mount lgnitluus. the aurora borealiS
and "the home of the awful and mySteri-
GUS" The fourth shows the crystal caves.
1t is sort Of transformation series and
where things are made more than usually
comfortable for the dramatiS persona after
the rather rough experiences undergone.
Aquio is we'll pleased "The angel and the
flaming sword have been withdrawn, and
the gates OF Eden are thrown open TO the
children of Adam" who all unite IN singing:
Oh a beautiful land is this land OF light,
Retreat OF the Hyperooret.
The business of the spectacle is not very
consistent, III fact it is somewhat dislOinted
in the synopsis, but we presume 1t Will ut
together and go all right on The stage.
Meantime "Olivette," which is being very
nicely acted and sung, will continue week
longer.

IN ALL FORMER PRODUCTIONS
Il was cOntended that the comedy was
play for all times, and therefore. there was
no necessity of assuming the picturesque
costumes which, by right, belonged to the
characters. In each case the costumes used
were those cOntemporaneous with the time
OF production, without regard to the period
III which the author had placed the play.
"Oid Heads and Young Hearts" will be
given for the first three nights of the week
and at the Saturday matinee. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights we are to have
the only performances of "Sweet Lavender"
during this engagement. This excellent
specimen Of the modern school of comedy
was an interesting portion Of the Lyeeum
Company's engagement here two years ago,
and will doubtless be warmly welcomed.

the Lyceum Company who has not as yet
appeared, Will be the Lord Roebuck in the

Lavender Of the latter play and Kate

pressed an objection to the use OF the chain
gang for such purposes
Mr.. Z. F. Whittier, of the Union Trunk line,
asked permission to remove the poles in the
center OF the street on his line. and place poles
at distance, as it had been found that the pres
emit arrangement was very dangerous
Major Rinehart said they were certainly dan
gerous but he doubted the power of the board
70 do it One of the chief objections was to their
being rough poles.
Mr.. Whittier said he had submitted an ordin-
ancs covering the case. but 1t would take sixty
days, he understood. He was sorry they could
not use turned poles, but they found it neces-
sary to use poles of greater tensile power where
wires were strung across the street.
MI. Hebron declined to anticipate tbs action
of the council
II was agreed that the board would submit to
the council the dangerous condition of James
street and recommend the change.
Fred Z. Sander reported to the council that he
