that day, probably far distant, when
the British Empire begins it's decline.
Though there unlawfully the rule OF
the British has been of immense ben
eft to the country. Law and order
are maintained, industry is fostered,
and for the first time in centuries the
oppressed Egyptian people can call
their heads their own. Should the
British get out of Egypt? 1t is ques-
tion for the moralists.

be very careful how they get into

war with England, France or Russia
would have a different tale to tell.

The great grievance that France has
at present against England is the oc-

Egypt is nominally province of the

THOMAS KEENE
vii, Play Richard TIP and Hamlet" a 0'Briens Opera House This
 Week.

Few men upon the stage have had the experience of MT Thomas Keene. who will appear at the opera house on Wednesday and Thursday, October 30 and 31. As member of the old Wood Museum company of New York, of happy memory as one of the very best of the old time stock companies, and of the Cal ifornia Theater Stock company MT. Keene played everything in progressive order, from pantomicis dumb action to the comedy and tragedy of Shakespeare. As a young man no one was more favor ably known in the two cities twenty years ago. The first great hit of his life was in dramatization of Zola's Drink" In the chief character of drunken ma- niac he seemed to electrify his audiences and 1t brought him at once to the front rank of the melodramatio actors of Amer ica. A well tempered ambition was al- ways prime factor in his nature. Clever Judges detected at once in him the mate4 rial for a great legitimate star. and 1t took form in bringing him before the
