and faith or of being divorced, and she
chose the latter. Deprived for time
of her children by decree of the court,
she found in the work among the Lon
don poor an outlet for the sympathies
and affection of her nature. In later
years her children returned to her and
she has since provided for them.
Her second lecture here will be on
Theosophy and Daily Life, subject
quite as broad as many others which
bother the thinking portion of humani-
ty. What theosophy offers to guide one
through the multiplicity of vexations
will be listened to with interest by those
who have claimed that the cult was cold
and purely intellectual philosophy.

The appearance OF Mrs. Pacheco's
play, Incog, at the Grand opera house
next Thursday evening, promises to be
the theatrical society event of the sea-
son on account of the prominence of the
author and star, and the excellence OF
the company with which he is sur
rounded. Charles Dickson himself is
almost too we'll known here to need any
introduction to the public, for although
his visits have not been many, the i'm
preston he created as Jack Dexter in
The Wife, the correspondent in Held by
the Enemy, and Jack Weeks in The
Possible Case, will never be effaced from
those who were fortunate enough to
witness these wonderful creations.
Mr.. Dickson began at the
foot of the ladder, and has
worked his way up to star by inherent
talent and unremitting energy. Mrs.
Pacheco's prominence, both in the social
and literary world, enabled her to select
whom she pleased to interpret Incog,
| all the comedians being anxious to OBJ
tain it, but she selected Dickson without
any hesitation as the one best calculated
to give the star part the Interpretation
which she desired, and the result has
shown the great wisdom of her choice,
for the play has carried everything be-
fore it wherever it has appeared. A
word here is also due to the magnificent
company which Mr.. Dickson has culled
| from the flower of the profession and
| who today constitute the model comedy
company of America. They are the
Messrs. Ed ]. Connolly, Reddick Ander-
son, Franklin Garland, Gustave Yorke,
Barton Bancroft, Louis l.. Mason and
Edgar Allen, and the Misses Maud Has
lam, Louise Muldener, Lillian Burk-
| hart, Anita Bridger and Virginia Ross

Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, was
first produced in Chelsea, Mass.. in
1888, and has played to exceedingly
profitable business since that time.
This phenomenal can best be appre-
ciated by people outside of theatrical
circles when it is known that last sea.
