words, which upon being handler to the
usher will entitle you to good seat after
the first act. Or If you prefer you NAV tin
the usher after buying an admission ticket
at the box office, and he will seat YOU at
once.
OF course this is not the case at all of the
theaters. For instance, it would be impos-
sible at Days, for at that house the pur-
chaser is supplied with a numbered slip
which simply tells how many seats have
been bought. Your name is taken, and at
night when you present your coupon the
man at the door looks at the stub bearing
the corresponding number and gives YOU
your seat checks. By this plan the ticket
speculator who annoys every one outside
the doors of most theaters is also effectual-
ly squelched.

about him an excellent company, includ-
ing Odell Williams, Carrie Alliston, Louise
Montague and Amelia Summerville.
The women of the chorusare well trained,
particularly good looking and nearly all
of them sing quite well. Some of the
marches are very pretty. The males, how
ever, are the best feature of the show.
They did several really funny specialties
which elected roars of applause. A guar
tet of men is not SO good, however. They
do good deal of what l call trick" sing
ing and do it very poorly. But taken as
whole the company gives an excellent en-
tertainment Of its kind.
Everybody knows that the plot OF Ado

and seems to be striving for approval harder
than he ever did before. He is booked to

Il Is fact not generally known outside
of New York city that tickets OF admission
to the best portions of almost any one OF
the theaters of this city may be bought at

great shipbuilders, when young man. He
studied naval architecture in an atmosphere
that fairly reeked with the subject. He
soon left a clerks desk and began his career
as craftsman, and four years ago was
made the manager and chief designer for
the firm.
His first great success was the yacht
Daisy, a 25-footer now in this country. He
also designed the Alarm and the Alert, ~
raters; the Castanet, 40-rater; the Dove,
40-ton yawl; the Harbinger, steam yacht;
the Foxglove, one of the handsomest yachts
afoat; the Reverie, fast 40-rater, and sew
eral others. Mr.. Soper also superintendent
the construction Of the famous yachts Trek,
Iverna, Valkyrie and dozens of others.
The new 90-footer has been something Of
a mystery during her construction, and
probably not all of her points will be known
until she is launched in May 1t is known,
however, that the English designer has
taken advantage of our water line measure
ment rules, and, although his boat will
be only 80 feet long at the water, her fore
and aft overhangs bring her over all length
up to 100 feet. She will carry cotton lump
of lead on her keel, and her spar arrange
ment is said to be extensive.

unqualifedly dismal failure.
DR.. Isaac Henderson, an American, is
responsible for 1.-THE Silent Battle" which

Under the latter name the play had run

Wyndham in the principal character. It's

sible to New Workers, for the production
here left nothing to be desired, and it is
pretty safe to assume that under no combi-
nation of circumstances could the play sue

sagely remarked, that 1--WE have no Charles
Wyndham here" but his part was played
BY Joseph Holland, who is one Of the most
artistic and finished actors in this or any
other country. The play does not seem to
suit New Workers. The plot is uncanny,
unreal and horribly overdrawn.
Fiippo, Agathas husband, thinks he
also loves Mercede Da Vigno, fascinating
woman Of artistic temperament. In fact
he is uncertain as to whom he loves better.
Naturally Agatha isn't overload of Mer-
cede. That goes without saying. Filippo,
to the average American, doesn't seem to
beworth fighting for, but the two women
appear to think differently, and 1.-THE Silent

wiser, Dow, believes that Mercede will trip
herself up If only given the opportunity.

Rad Theatr,caI Season In Paris.

The Partisan theaters are in despair, for
last year was their worst season since 1887,
the receipts of the 81 theaters, panoramas,
etc., only reaching s4,506,660, nearly SS16,-
coo less than those of the previous twelve
month. Just now music and the lighter
forms Of the drama are most in favor, for
such classic establishments as the Coincide
Franchise and the Odeon feel the depression
most, while the Opera, the Vaudeville,
Nouveautes, Porte St. Martin and the like
enioy an advance rather than decrease OF
patronage. The London theaters have also
been complaining Of bad times.

A feature Of the clubs best efforts Is the
fine steam launch Delaware, which has en-

possible that many long New York runs
have been materially assisted by this prac-

absolutely certain that the thing is done
openly in this city every day during the

The smoke was rising and blowing
away In the fresh morning wind from
hundreds Of round apertures in the roofs
as the people Of Atzlan prepared their
morning meal hurriedly, for they were
anxious to be out and preparing for the
greatest of their religious festivals. One
by one they emerged and clambered
quickly down the tall ladders until hun
dreds of them were gathered about IN
groups or busily arranging for the cere-
monies of the day, gathering fruits and
flowers, maize cakes and pinon nuts for
the minor sacrifices, and decorating the
interior and front Of the court and tenn
pie. To each OF the four great phratries
or divisions Of the inhabitants, according
to kinship, was assigned particular du-
ties connected with the festival.
While some were engaged in building
and decorating bowers others prepared
food in great quantities, while others ar
ranged for the games and dances which
followed the sacrifices. Others were
driving the animals devoted to sacrifice
into an inclosed field.
Gathered in front Of the temple stood
number of priests waiting to form in
the sacred procession and chatting mer-
rily, with frequent jests, among them
selves. Their white dresses formed
contrast with the brilliant coloring OF
the costumes Of the people, and tho red
suns embroidered upon their breasts,
the emblem of their holy calling, showed
forth the more conspicuously.
Multitudes of little, stunted, wolfsh
dogs ran in and out between the peoples
legs, attesting by frequent howls
plentitude of we'll aimed kicks. The
houses emptied forth into the square
every inmate, for every living soul in
the city who was able to move or to be
moved was obliged to be present at the
sacriice-and few were loath to witness
the spectacle. It's bloody delights were
eagerly awaited and long remembered.
Children were there to be held up to see
the rare sight and to have it impressed
upon their memories by many re-
minder in future years, and old women,
wagging their heads, told of many a
past scene of splendid slaughter, when
were killed not one but dozen beauti-
