Marie Wainwright.

Miss Mary Wainwright, who is known
to nearly all our theater goers, if not
from having seen her at least on &C.
count of hor reputation as one of the
foremost actresses of the day will be
the star at the Academy on Monday,
January 8, appearing in her most bril-
liant success, the comedy drama OF fash
ionable life among the 400" in New
York city, entitled The Social SWIM
This was written expressly for her by
Clyde Fitch, author of Beau Brum-
NELL" and 1.-The Masked Ball" Miss
Wainwrights magnificent costuming
finds ample scope in this play. Her
splendid company is headed by such
favorites as Barton Hill, Louise Null
dener and Nathaniel Hartwig. A cole
brated New York critic recently wrote:
There is a peculiar refinement and
distinction about Marie Mainwrigh t's
methods. She seems to me a woman Of
intensely nervous and richly sympa-
thetic temperament. The moods she
gives' her characters are various and
have womanly delight about that hiss
most penetrating effect. In all the
feminine attributes that to men are in
describable and charming and refresh
ing she Is supreme. Never for one mo-
ment does she lapse into monotony;
every gesture and every incident in her
illinitable by-play adds flavor to the
delicious aroma. / know no better term
which pervades her acting"

A Good Woman.

"a great to do is being made about an
actress who used to play the good
women and now plays bad one. Well
| am doing exactly the REVERSE" This
is what Lillian Lewis said to our CORE
spondent. II have played the whole
gamut OF your Camille and Lena Despard
type. and now l am playing good
woman; La Tisba is the woman and
Goodbye, Sweetheart" is the name Of
the play.
Il can come right out boldly and say
it is a great play; it was written by
Victor Hugo, and in my opinion the
most human and humane work which
the French Shakespeare has given the
world. Lawrence Marston, adapted and
arranged Good bye, Sweetheart" for
me. think it is beautiful title; there
is something SO gentle, so tender, 30
fragrant, so imbued with man and
woman about the four words that
pleases me. TO get the full melody of
the title tho stress must be laid on the
bye and the heart
The last line Of the play suggested
the title. 1 asked Marston what he
thought of it, he jumped up and cried
its an inspiration and 30 Good bye,
Sweetheart is the name Of nay new
play.
THE markable thing about this good
woman am going to play is that she
is not built on the regulation mould of
the resigned and meek goody goody
heroine; no sir She is jealous and has
indicative Monuments: she struggles
with fate and is defiant, and with it all
she is the noblest character OF my
acquaintance All love and all heart;
all womanly tenderness and womanly
sacrifice. | think the public will like
this play; it is SO beautiful. There is
such positive halo of beautiful good
ness all through it. 1 can't see how
they can help it. AT the Academy, Mon

his pretensions to Democracy. In fact
Mr.. Richardson has given utterapce to
the following:
II would vote for the Wilson bill if |
were assured that Its passage would
result in the defeat of the party next
year IL is Democratic measure and
such measure as we wero elected to
adopt 1t may not be perfect bill.
Some persons would prefer more ex-
tensive cut in duties, but under existing
conditions it is as good as can ne
framed, and. il members have been
honest in their professions OF faith In
Democratic principles, should receive
the undivided support of tho party In
Congress"
This statement might give riso to an
opportunity for the Honorable Mr.
Richardson to pose as martyr in the
cause now pending. and for all that we
know he may be following the dictates
of his own honest convictions in the
matter. We recognize too the right OF
every one to his own opinion. But
opinions may differ. What do Mr..
Richardson's constituents think about
it? Is the Wilson bill a truly Dem

as avowed at the party convention at
Chicago =? There are hundreds and even
thousands of as good Democrats in the
South, as is the gentleman from Ten
nessee, who have been outspoken in
their denuDciation of the bill. 1t is
assaulted as being in many respects
more AFFECT measure of class legislation
than the obnoxious Mckinley bill.
Mr.. Richardson again is opposed to
discussion of the bill in caucus and fears
the result of such a course. In the
House, he claims, the Democrats act as
party; in caucus they act as individ
uals. However true this may be in
general the South will demand OF its
representatives that they assert them =
selves in opposition to this measure
which fosters the interests of the New
Englanders and strikes severe blow at
the new industries of the South The
people will condemn any action upon
the part OF their representatives whic 4
shows that they are simply responding

A REMARKABLE COMPLAINT.
4Ae Young Man Understood It After q
photographer Helped Him.

They were sitting in the parlor of a
west side house. and the conversation
was dragging somewhat. They had ex-
hausted all the available social topics,
had taken a dip into literature by criti-
sising some Of the latest novels, had dis
enssed the summer resorts and the pros
poets tor good fall season, talked bit
about the theaters, and there did not
seem TO be much left.
After an embarrassing pause of five
sriuutes the girl said: I'VE have got
4he funniest cook She says the most
killing Things.

estedly.
''Yes, she is crank about sickness.
Every day she has some new sickness.
As matter of fact, she is great bux-
ON woman, strong and healthy as can
be. but she imagines she has one foot in
the grave. +"
Must keep her busy finding symp-
toms, . said the young man
''Indeed il does. and some of her COM
plants are very laughable Why, the
other day she came in and told me in
perfect seriousness that her bones We're
ossifying -
The young man looked puzzled. He
laughed "a little, though, and said:
"What a remarkable complaint! don't
suppose it was true. doyou:' Theyoung
woman's s face took on a panied expires
sion. Il said she said her bones We're
ossifying, she remarked.
$50 understood. And asked if il
was true. +"
The young woman passed her hand
wearily over her forehead. She looked
af the young man pityingly and said:
II am afraid you do not yet understand
the drift Of my remark. | said the cook
came to me and told me that her bones
were ossifying.
The young man bit his mustache. Il
fully understood what you said, Miss
Brown, he replied II think, too, that
1 gather the meaning of the remark.
Still | do not suppose that, except in
rare instances, such things do occur. ="
She put both hands to her brow this
time. smiled bit and abruptly changed
the conversation.
Half an hour later the young man
paused ON his way to his room and hunt
cd up a dictionary. He turned nervous
ly to the O's, found O's and ran his fin
ger down the column until he came to
''ossify." Then he threw his hands into
the air and shrieked, Great Scott, and
Ididn't know that ossify means to turn
20 bone"
And he hasn't called ON Miss Brown
since e-Buffalo Express.
