The Manoia. Mason Company.

A coming attraction at the Academy
OF Music will be Marion Manola and
John Mason's comedy company in their
charming entertainment, "Ffiend Fritz"
which achieved booth fame and fortune,
for these stars in New York last spring,
when it enjoyed run of three months.
1t is unlike anything upon the Americ an
stage to. day. and yet 1t possesses the ele-
ments to draw the masses and the same
undiscovered magnet that attracts the
auditor again and again. The music of
.Friend Fritz" was written by Julian
Edwards, the COM poser of Jupiter" and
other works. 1t is in perfect harmo n
with the piece and the numbers sung by
Marion Manola are as delightful as
those she was called to sing in Doc
caccio," when she was the prima donna
of the McCaull Opera Company. The
three stage sets, which are the same as
used in the New York production, are
doubtlessly the most unique ever seen
on the stage, they being painted from
designs by John Sceavey, best known
by his famous painting, the CHERRY
Orchardn

Corduroy Portieres.

Corduroy promises to be great ia
vorite, both for hangings and for the
coverings of divans and chairs. In some
of its newest forms it is strilSingly hand
some, showing figures of lighter tone
upon ground of the same color, and in
even the familiar plain it is both good
and desirable. For portieres it is espe-
cially to be commended, as it takes rich,
deep folds and gives just that sense of
warmth and freedom from draft that is
to be desired.

An Anecdote of Edwin Booth.

Edwin Booth once related that he
played to empty benches when he was
In the full glory of his manhood, while
the people thronged to see him in his
declining years. 1t is lamentable
fact that the public, especially in dra
matte art, has tendency to neglect the
vigorous manifestations of an artist in
his youth-waiting to do him homage in
the later years, when he has won
recognition, but lost his FIRE. Mr.. James
Young, youthful trsgedian. will ap
pear at the Academy next Friday and
Saturday nights, in the role OF Hamlet
Mr. Young has quite reputation, al
though but 81 years of age--and deserves
recognition. Owing to the length of
the performance the curtain will rise
promptly at o'clock.

AMERICAS GREAT SUCCESS.

The sign Standing room Only" has
been displayed in the lobby of the
Auditorium no less than four times
during the past week. In theater
of such vast capacity this business Is
unprecedented Manager Adams has
decided to open a third box o1ice to
prevent the tremendous crush that
is inevitable when the Worlds Fair
excursions begin TO arrive in the
city. Even now the existing admi-
rahle arrangements for the sale Of
seats seem altogether inadequate.
The fame OF America and the
wonderful Schatfer troupe Of acrobatS
has spread far beyond the confines of
the city itself. The Wednesday and
Saturday matinees are remarkable
for the size of the audiences. These
are family occasions when one can
see multitudes of little ones with os-
corts in full enjoyment of the mag
nidcent spectacle.
The Princess Eulalia Of Spain and
her entire suite witnessed America
last Tuesday evening. An immense
and brilliant audience was present
The royal box was draped gracefully
in American and Spanish colors, the
orchestra played the Spanish nation
al hymn and the Infanta received ;
Aattering ovation.

Nothing TO Prevent the Formation
Of PiOuS Real Estate
Clubs,
II the Presbyterian Seminary Land
Is Permitted to Escape
Taxation.

The three blocks Of residence prop
erty extending from Dayton street to
Sheffield avenue and from Belden
avenue to Fullerton avenue, on the
North Side, are not taxed to the eX-
tent Of one dollar.
This in defiance of all law.
The three blocks referred to are
covered with magnificent residences,
every one of which is rented, the in
cone from each being from $50 to
5000 per month.
And yet these houses pay no taxes.
They claim exemption because the
title to them is in the trustees Of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary
The Seminary is located on the
block bounded by Dayton and Halsted
streets, Belden and Fullerton avenues.
Under the law, the Seminary itself
md the residences of the professors
on the same block are exempt.
But the law expressly provides that
property belonging TO such institu'
tions, used for profit, must be taxed
In defiance of this law, three
blocks, or fifteen acres, lying west 0.
the one block, or five acres, on which
the Seminary is located, go scot free
and Ihe grand residences erected
thereon pay no taxes at all.
The poor people of the city ar,

Is this property lawfully exempt?
1t is not.
Here is the law on the subject

First a Rank knOW.NOthing
and a Friend of the
|. 0. D.
He RepentS of His Rashness
and Suppresses His Own
Paper,
He Is Then Rewarded with the
Spanish Consulship at
Chicago.

One Of the strangest stories con
nected with the Worlds Fair is that
relating to the conversion Of Hobart
Chatfeld Chatheld Taylor to the
Catholic faith.
TO those acquainted with the bit
ter anti-CatholiC views entertained
by this gentleman, it has been
source OF wondcrment as to how or
by what means he became the Consul
or official representative in Chicago
Of that sovereign who bears the title
of His Most Catholic Majesty, the
King of Spain
Especially was this; feeling of sur
prise and curiosity strong in those
who had been subscribers to and
readers of the Know Nothing news
paper America" which was owned
and controlled by Mr.. Taylor.
This interesting publication on one
occasion referred to the Spanish peo-
pie in the following words:
"The most blgoted Papsts in the
world are the Spaniatds, whose ig-
norance is "a by-word the world over"
And again, in another issue, this
paper Of Mr. Taylor's referred to the
Spanish monarchy
AS one long line Of hereditary
vice.
And, again, declared that
"The immortality Of the Spanish
people, their vice and squalor, is
largely due to their state church"
And yard after yard Of the same
abominable kind Of stuH was printed
in America" week in and week out.
The paper, which was against the
Roman Catholic Church and in favor
of Know-nothingism in general, was
particularly hostile and bitter toward
everything Spanish.
Small wonder then that people
opened their eyes in astonishment
when Hobart Chataeld Chataeld-
Taylor became Spanish Consul in this
city.
But the secret is out.
Hobart met Archbishop Satolli, it
seems; repented Of his narrow views,
and in pursuance Of his repentance
quit the publication Of America, al
though the sheet was paying well and
had but recently absorbed the Cur
rent
1t is alleged that, after being Dap
tized at st. Augustine's Church in
Washington. Mr.. Chatnold-Taylor
was appointed Spanish Consul at
Chicago
This explains why this former ex-
ponent Of the doctrines Of the L. O.
ID. Is now attending mass regularly
T with the visiting members of the
Spanish nobility and also tells why
he is the Official representative In the
J Worlds Fair City OF the most Catho-
p Doe power ON earth
