Great interest attaches to the appear.
ance at the Opera House this evening
OF that delightful actress and most de-
lightful woman, Marie Wainwright. as
she will then be seen in her new
society drama, Daughters Of Eve,"
written for her by A. f. Lancaster and
Julian Magnus, whose admirable drama.
Conscience" was one OF the marked
successes OF the Union Square Theatre
in the days OF its greatest glory. Miss
Wainwright is seen in the dual role Of
twin sisters, who. though identical in
appearance, are OF the mos: dissimilar
characters. The play is essentially
modern and "up to date" in language
and feeling, and deals with several
social problems that are attracting
much attention at tho present time.
The new play was recently very highly
praised in New York.

Lewis Morrison continues to break
records for big business everywhere.
His hold on the theatre going public is
wonderful, and his personal popularity
is as great in the drawing room as on
the stage. Although the country ia
overrun with more or less unwarranted
imltators, the public persrstently refuse
to patronize Faust" without the trade
mark OF Morrison. This ia extremely
gratifying, as it shows the steadily
growing inclination on the part Of the
people to encourage merit in Its highest

The Moose Made Quick Time.

Amy one who thinks q moose can't
travel at a pretty lively gait 10 very
much mistaken" remarked George T.
Horton Of st. Paul. II used to be q To-
connective engineer up in the northern
part Of my state, and n day I had an
opportunity to test the speed Of this an.
imal. I was running a light freight
train, and in coming around a curve
saw a big moose standing directly ON
the track. As soon a the animal saw
the engine he took to his heels right
down the path between the rails. For
about four miles we had o perfectly
straight track, and as I had heard Of
the great speed Of this animal I deter.
mined to test its ability. The gait Of the
moose was q sort Of trot, such only a. q
moose can exhibit, his PAGES being about
! two rods in length. At first it was only
o little jog, but as the engine began Il
gain speed the moose let himself out.
Faster and faster sped the engine, but
still the frightened moose trotted in thu
van, and all the mysterious power O!
steam could not prevail upon this mon
arch Of the forest. At last after we hat
covered the four miles, turning o curve
we came upon q gang Of section hand
who were fixing the track. The sight o.
these men frightened the moose from
the track. and he was soon lost to view
in the forest. st. Louis Globe Demo
