The Two Sisters"

Tonight at the Burtis at Davenport
Thompson s. Ryer's new comedy drama,
1.-THE Two Sisters is to be presented at
the BHrtis at Davenport. The play is a
perfect museum of city characters, clev-
cry drawn, presented naturally and eff
fectively and with true and abundant
humor. The acting had 'or its leading
and most pleasing characteristic quiet
nutralness, sueseIviepce to methods Of
comedy rather than to that Of farce.
The cast is excellent from beginning to
end. and that is saying a good deal. The
piece is effectively staged, especially the
scene on the house-tops OF New York at
night, and the scene before the hotel
where the men sit smoking in their shirt
sleeves, listening to street musician, are
all characters by faithful realism with
out exaggerstion. Such plays as this,
honest:and. in rudely artistic way. sue
cessful attempts to hold the mirror up to
our daily life are worth thousand of the
average melo- drama. with its sbsurdities
ard exaggerations.

THE MAYORS DEMAGOGlSM
The City's Executive Makes an En-
hibitiOn of Himself.
He Takes Advantage of His Duty to
Extend the Hospitality of the
city to Attack ana Ridi
Guile the Church.

The people who attended the enter
tainment given at Harper's theatre last
evening in honor of The visiting directors
of the Modern Woodmen of America
were given q feature not contemplated in
the programme. The appearance of the
executive OF the city supposed to be the
chief host of the occ asion, extending the
hospitality of the city, going out of his
way to attack, insult ard ridicule the
church, and dwelling on subject irrele
want entirely to Woodcraft was not in the
highest sense relishir g or gratifying TO the
people of the city. In fact, the mayors
rasping differences were at times so
grossly foreign to the order of the evening
or his duty in delivering the welcoming
address that had he been a Woodman.
much of what he said would have been
eliminated as having no possible refer
ence to the order. The mayor started out
very nicely and as long as he stuck to his
subject, got along all right. but when he
directed his remarks to the cause and
effect Of christianity, he appeared more
as an exponent of sanosticism than as one
commencing the cause of christian charity
and brotherly love. The declaration that
christianity and tyranny have always
marched hand in hand down through all
The ages" and that the church had always
thrown its il auence into the balance
against the rights snd liberties of thu
people. using the deceptive weapons of
superstition and tigoty to accomplish
their purposes" fell with chilling effect
upon the audience. The mayor. how
ever, clapped the climax when he linked
King Alcohol with the work of christi
tisnity as the es lis of society.
+ The speech had been carefully pre-
pared aud studied. II was such an eff
fort as might be expected of one having
q set purpose in view, but not such as
should be carried out on such an occa-
ton. Ill>tined and entirely improper as
the address was, it can only be ac-
counted for on the ground that it was a
deliberate piece of political demagogism.
1t was intended for effect, and it had s
effect, no doubt If it was a bid
for higher honors in a nomins>
ton at the hands OF the party

The Double Kettle.

A double kettle is a very excellent thing
for some kinds of cookery, but there are
many dishes which cannot be prepared
successfully with it. 1t is impossible for
one such utensil to be used successfully
for everything, though some of our cooks
seem to be anxious to use it SO. Oatmeal
is rather better cooked in single porce-
lain lined kettle, which is the way it is
cooked in Scotland, though there the ket-
tie is apt to be one of plain iron. The double
boiler is the best utensil we have to make
soft custard in, a Hollandaise sauce and
many other things. You cannot make
chocolate successfully in it. however

of His Condition

But That is About All That Can Be Said
of His Condition.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 81. - Nh
Blaine was still alive. That was about
as much as could be SAID of his condition
this morning.
At the Blaine residence this morning
anxious inquirers were informed that his
condition had not changed since yester-
day. He showed an inclination to sleep to
greater extent during the past twenty
four hours than heretofore, (which may
be attributed TO his weakened, exhausted
constitution. or it may be due to the re-
storativeS that have been administered
The fact that DR.. johnson called at the
Blaine house last night about midnight
Indicated that he anticipated an early
dissolution. As.he was leaving he said
he could not tell how long Mr.. Blaine
might last, bat he did not see any indica-
tlon of fatal termination.
During the night this assurance from
the Doctor induced several of the weary
watchers TO go home and get some Fest.
since the alarming announcement of last
Sunday night there has been a cousta Mt
watch kept on the Blaine house. The
family continue to hope against hope, but
they derive but slight encouragement:
from the statements of the physicians,
Further consultations are believed un-
necessary, and there seems to be nothing
remaining for tbe family to do but TO
watch and wait and prepare to meet the
domestic calamity which threatens TO
visit them before many hours shall have
elapsed
