Park Theater-"The Romany Rye"

Every reserved seat was sold in advance
for the opening performances Of THE Rom
any Rye at the Park yesterday after
noon and last night. The matinee crowd
were disappointed, for because Of delayed
train the company did not set here in time
to give an afternoon performance. Last
night the crowd was so great that scores
of people were unable to even get in the
house, while in the inside every inch OF
available space taken. The Romany
Rye is George r. Simss well-known play,
and in picturesqueness and strong interest
il is the best of the English melOdramaS
that has been brought over 10 this country.
The characteriz8tionS are natural and well
defined. the story is well worked out and
the sceneSa re made very effective hramat-
ically. The performance last night was
applauded almost continuously and fire.

Simon Pure is the bucolic nomencla-
ture OF the character assumed by Ezra
Kendall in his new play, The Substi-
stute," given for the first time in Indian
apolis at Englsh's yesterday afternoon
and evening. AS might be supposed, it pro-
vides for much of the uproarious farce bus
mess inseparable from Ezra Kendall's pro-
clivities, and apparently served the double
office of pleasing both Kendall and the au-
diences, both Of which yesterday were the
best in that house since Thanksgiving day.

wickian character and ''Shucks," Arthur

that, while not always original, were not
bad for the class. Jenny Dunn Kendall

The PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

An Address of the National League for the

New YORK. Dec a-The National

A WONDROUS FUTURE.
Ex-senator Doolittle's Prophetic Vision
the United States.

the United states.
CHICAGO, Dec 5.-EX-Senator James
R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, lectured to
q large audience at the Peoples insti-
tute on 1.-THE United States in the Light
of Prophetic History" Taking the
prophetic vision of King Nebuchadnez-
Ear of the great image composed of four
parts, each of different minerals, and de-
stroyed eventually by a fifth-stone, all
representing great successive powers,
he held that the United States was
this last power which the prophet had
foreshown which would overcome and
rule the whole earth to the end OF
time. He drew a vivid picture of the
rise and fall of the successive empires,
beginning with the Assyrian, followed
by the Medo-Persian, the Grecian
and the Roman sub-divided later
into the modern European king
doms He pointed out the prog
ress of the United States until
it was now the wealthiest power on
earth. This prophet" he said, could
have meant no other form of govern
ment than a republican government,
and as the United States, has been the
leader in the most popular form of gov
ernment, she will eventually unite the
whole world in one vast republic"

ALIEN CONTRACT LABOR.
Decision Rendered Which Will Embarrass
Its Enforcement.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-The United
States court has rsndered an opinion
which, while affirming the constitu-
tionality of the alien contract labor
law, will embarrass to some extent the
practical enforcement of the law. The
question came up on the appeal
of Joseph Lees and John S. Lees from
a decision of the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of
Pennsylvania, fining them $1,000 for
importing Frederick Graham, of En-
gland, to perform labor in their mill at
Bridgeport, Pa The court holds the
act is valid, but that when the accused
parties were compelled to give evidence
against themselves in a criminal pro-
ceeding their constitutional rights
were violated and hence reverses the
opinion.

ularity of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

The Original Fruit Gamers.

Weare indebted to Pompeii for the
greatindustry of canned fruit. Years
ago, when the excavations were Just
beginning, party of Cincinnatians
found in what had been the pantry
of a house many jars of preserved
figs. One was opened, and they were
found to be fresh and good. Investi-
cation showed that the figs had been
put into jars in heated state, an
aperture left for the steam to escape
and then sealed with wax. The hint
was taken, and the next year fruit
canning was introduced into the
United States, the process being iden-
teal with that in vogue at Pompeii
20 centuries ago.-American Drug

Sleep

1A1LN|N
Sleep Is the kind physician
Forever at our call.
To comfort Is her mission.
Whatever woes befall.
In hoyel or In palace.
Where terror reigns or maiico.
She holds her sacred chalice
And seals the eyes OF all
Sleep is-as sweet as summer
And comes as falls the dews
No snares can overcome her.
To man she's ever true.
She stills the strife Of foemen.
She soothes both prince and yeoman,
Her breast Is barred TO no man,
Her favor mortals sue.
Sleeps q high born maiden.
Qunen almoner OF nights
sweet dreams with which she's laden
Put all our cares to flight
Her face is dark, yet tender.
Girt with supernal splendor.
Into her arms surrender
The weary. worldworn wight
She breyvs for all a potion
Wherein we queneh our woes
Majestic, mild her motion
As round the world she goes.
The sick all wait her pleasure,
The poor man dreams of treasure,
The busy man has leisure.
To all she brings repose.
Sleep hath gracious garden.
There asphodel doth blow.
Pale peoples plead for pardon.
Rare herbs. rich spices grow.
Here. freed from each days burden,
With joy and ease for guerdon.
We rest as blifhe as bird on
The leaves that linger low.
Snug refuge from the daytime.
Safe shelter from the storm,
Our dearest dreams have playtime.
Our fancy range takes FORM
Like rain 70 thirsty flowers.
That droop for pearly showers.
Sleep shields us through dark hours
And guides US, safe and warm.
Large gifts she lends the dreamer
His genius then holds sway:
And high all bardis esteem her
And prefer her to the day.
Good luck attends the lover.
His lady's face will hover
In fancy, while stars cover
The earth that's grim and gray.
Sleep queens it DER the water.
Her sway is DER the land;
Death claims her as a daughter.
The fairest Of his band.
Serene, benign, immortal.
By her fair. ivory portal,
She waits for every mortal
To grasp him by the hand.
James E. Kinsella
