MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Friends.

1t is too often the case that plays
which are heralded by the loudest OF
praises fall far short in their perform
ances OF the spectators anticipations.
This cannot be said of Friends. A bet
ter constructed, more interesting drama
has not been seen in Portland. 1t is not
alone strong in situations, its dialogue
is remarkably bright. and what gives
extraordinary force to all that Is done
and said lies in the fact that every part
is intrusted to most competent actor.
There is hardly one in the cast VINO
has not been seen here before In connect
ion with some popular star. Mrs. Selma
Fetter Royle, E. d. Lyons and Henry
Bergman, have been prominent IN the
support of Irving, Robson and crane.
Henderson, Allen, Carrie Berg, are all
of marked reputation in the professlon'
while Mr.. Royle. the author, is given the
leading role.
Lack of space prevents the individual
mention of the work of these eminent
actors which contributed to make the
performance as whole such marked
success.
The most dramatic, and at the same
time the most effective work OF the eve
ming was done by Mr.. Lyons as Marguer-
ties father. The effects of liquor and
opium upon him, who has tried by
their means, for years to drown con-
science and remorse, and who, at last, in
wild frenzy, seeks the life of the man
who has goaded him to madness, made
an object lesson of more value than any
law or sermon can teach
The curtain was called at the end.of the
first and second acts, twice at the end OF
the third act, and the actors called be-
fore the curtain with enthusiastic ap-
plause. The piece was handsomely
staged and costumed.
If people are fond of good play chat
keeps the attention riveted from begin
ming to end, they will crowd the thea
tire tonight.
Manola- Mason.
There was splendid sale of seats at
Stock BRIDGES yesterday for the perform
ances of the Manola-Mason company at
City Hall Tuesday and Wednesday OF
next week, and those who desire choice
locations had better secure seats at once.
It is going to be big dramatic event
for Portland people, and it is the first
time these famous artists have bee n
seen here. The plays, too, are great fav-
critics. Friend Fritz" is the daintlest
kind of high class comedy, in which
John Mason and Marion Manola have
made the biggest kind of hit, and "A
Queen of Hearts," the is new piece which
has been so successful at the Boston
Museum, and which is brim full Of good
points, fine situations and tuneful mus

LABoUcHERE KICKS.

What Some Folks Cali Generosity He De-
 eiares Is "Monstrous JOb."
 The queens generosity ill providing palaces and other residences for foreign princes and princesses at the expense of the British taxpayer is again rousing tho ire of Radicals, says a London let ter. The scandal has hardly subsided over the thrifty pensioners of her maj esty, who have been turning Hampton Court palace into boarding house. when now it is announced that she has been pleased to grant the studhouse also at Hampton Court, to Princess Fred erica of Hanover and her husband, with the benefit of the suryiyorship. The princess is one of the wealthiest person. ages ill Europe, and she only rarely. comes to England for brief visit. It is announced that the studhouse is to be extensively repaired and improved for her occasional occupation This moves MT. Labouehere to remark:
 '.If this arrangement has really been made. it is most monstrous job, and one of peculiarly objectionable kind, as during the reigns of George " and William " parliament protested so strongly against such reversionary grants that they were altogether discon- tinued of late years. However, the queen has privately revived the system of giving royal residences with survivor ship, and I am informed that nearly ev- cry warrant which has recently been granted has contained the obnoxious re- versionary clause. The next sovereign of these realms will have to live long time before he has either houses or apartments to give away.
 ''I believe in at least one case the queen has signed a warrant granting what really was an official residence to the wife of the present occupant in case she survives her husband. ''

CIVILIZATION AND CHRISTIANITY.
Rev. McArthur Trenches Upon the War
 Between China and Japan.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The Rev. Dr. McArthur preached Sunday night at Cal vary church, Fifty-seventh street near Sixth avenue, taking for his subject, 'sThe Corean War in Relation to Civ ilization and Christianity"
 1.-The war now raging" said Dr. Mo Arthur, between China and Japan is one of profound interest to all intelli- gent statesmen and churchmen. The war is really between barbarism and civilization; between hoary conserva- tism and modern progress; between heathenism and Christianity. The Flu ropean world has had no adequate idea of the greatnesss and actual progress of these oriental nations. These nations are now arousing themselves from the slumber of centuries. They are putting on their armor; they are girding them selves for 8 place on the great chess board of the world The battle at the mouth of the Yalu river startled Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, America and the world. It will create new discussions as to naval arm- aments. 1hs United States is humbled in the presence of these Japanese vic- tories. Probably we could not have placed in eastern waters during the time this wor began a naval force at all adequate to contend with that of Japan. This victory will greatly help Secretary Herbert in his plans for the building of naval ships for the United States gov ernment. This victory has startled the confidential advisers of every throne in Europe.
 Japan has stepped at once into line with the foremost nations of the world. She has struggled long against the con- servative element within her own bor- ders, but the progressive element has etriumphed. She has dared to adopt the results of the highest civilization of the world and she has shown herself in the wise administration of her international affairs to be worthy of place beside the most progressive nations of the world. Her educational system asks no apology when compared to that of Eu- rope and America.
 "'The nation that will not serve God, the Bible teaches us, must perish. We may add in harmony with this. truth, as it's natural conssquenca. that the narion that will not obey the highest laws of civilization of this day must per ish.n

sanity Then strange melancholy came over her. She ceased speaking of her dead parent, yet there was evidence of terrible inward grief. Her pining soon began to tell upon her health. Her hus- band talked with her about the folly of keeping the memory of her dead mother in mind, but she would not be eonsoled. She stopped going out and gradually ceased to partake of food. After time she became so weak that she was obliged to take to her bed
 The husband returned nightly from his labor and sat by her bedside, implor. ing her to cheer up and live for his sake. Although she was sound of mind, she refused to pay any attention to her husbands importunities. Dr. Sanders found the woman suffering from no or. ganic troubles and said that she would recover if properly nourished. He rec commended that she be removed to hos pital, where she could better regain her strength. His suggestion was not heed- ed, because Mrs. Wolf declared she wished to die i'll the bed i'll which her mother had died. The doctor told her that he could do nothing more for her unless she took sustenance. She did not answer him, but shook her head. On Wednesday she died.
 Mrs. Wolf will be buried ill Calvary cemetery today. Dr. Cuff of the coro- ner's office said Mrs. Wolf's death was due to broken heart. He said this was an instance where the woman's 5 failure to pour out her grief i'll tears had brought on tho disorders that caused her death. New York Trihnna.

Hardships In the Goldflelds.

Americans who are thinking to try their fortune ill the new Eldorado of western Australia should consider some of the conditions of life ill the new gold fields before starting on fools errand, says a correspondent. Recent letters are full of doleful tales of hardship. Not more than five men in hundred are lucky enough to strike it rich, and the region is already vastly oyerpopulated. The lack of water is the greatest draw back. Water commands 20 cents gal lon at Coolgardie, 31 cents at Hannens and 90 cents elsewhere. In the gold dis triet many horses have died of thirst by the roadside. Five hundred men at Cool gardie are anxious to get work at any wages.

Wolf Of New York;
 A remarkable instance where death followed broken heart" was recorded at the coroner's office Thursday. Mrs. Mary Agnes Wolf, 52 years old, died at her home on Wednesday evening. Dr. J. A.

iNGRATlTuDE OF NATIONS.
An Instance of It Toward ss Hero Of the
 Franco-German War.

An Instance Of 1t Toward a Hero Of the
 Franco-German War.
 A pathetic story of national ingrati- tude has been going the rounds of the London papers, which is interesting enough to be repeated, especially as it concerns those days of intense interest during which Paris was last ill siege. Publicity has been given it by the fact that the hero of the incident has just gone into French hospital in poverty, there to die. The Pail Mall Gazette thus tells the tale:
 When the German lines i'll the au- tumn of 1870 were gradually closing their boa constructor grasp round the doomed capital, Durnof was the hero of the hour. An experienced aeronaut, whc had three times been dashed into the sea and had run many other narrow es. capes, he proposed, with his balloon, Nep- tune, to carry mail out of Paris and to run the gantlet of the beleaguerine armies. At daybreak on Sept 23 he set out on his adventurous journey, the di. rector of the posts assuring him as he handed in the dispatches and the pigeons tudb HIS courage iuu ueNOL1On WOulQ meet with splendid reward. Durnof succeeded in his task and landed safe and sound at Eyreux, but the poor old Neptune was never fit for another as. cent.
 Twentytwo years elapsed but the unhappy aeronaut never received q penny from successive governments. Even his claim for the value of his bal. loon, which had been used till it was destroyed by the military authorities, failed to obtain tho slightest recogni tion. After couple of decades he got the bronze medal accorded to all who carried dispatches by balloon, and last year small monthly grant was made, which barely sufficed to keep him from starvation. Swindlers and impostors of all kinds laid the foundation of future fame and fortune ill the siege of Paris, but the first man who opened up com munications between the imprisoned in- habitants and the outer world seems likely to die in dishonor and despair.
