"Sweet Lavender" Well Pre-
scented by Daniel Fraw-
Iey's Company.
YsAYE AGAIN At THE BALDWIN
His Second Concert Even Better
Than the First-On Other
Stages.

Pinero's domestic drama, "Sweet Laven-
DER is drawing well at the Columbia
Theater, and bids fair to fill the house each
evening for the rest of this week. The
piece is well staged and well acted, and in
Sweet Lavender" Mr.. Frawley' s company
shows to advantage.
As Clement Hale, the adopted son of
Godfrey Wedderbnirn, Mr.. Frawlev does
some very clever work. The part seems to
suit him and he fills it well, but does not
make as much of it as he might.
Charles King, as Dick Phenyl, broken
down barrister, is excellent, both in the
comedy and pathos which run through his
lines.
He is particularly good in the second act,
where he has plenty to DO, for he does not
overact his part. nor does he make coarse
the scene where, having fallen once more
from grace, he departs unsteadily with the
bottle and glass in his hands. H. S. Duff
field, as Godfrey Wedderburn, the banker
with a secret, is too cold and matter of
fact. He errs in not acting up to his role
The ladies of the piece, and there are
four of them, are good. Hope Ross MAKES
a pretty and attractive Lavender, and acts
the part we'll Blanche Bates, who appeared
as Minnie Gilfllian, mas improved
immensely since she left this city
a year ago, a novice upon the stage She
is easy and natural and has acquired a
freer more unconstrained method of read
ing her lines than she had when she left
here.
Miss Phosa McAllister made good Mrs.
Gillfillian, particularly in the last act,
when she appears in reduced circum-
stances. Belle Archer as Ruth Rolt,
mother of Lavender, had the part of the
woman with history. 1t is not pleasant
part nor is it a long one.
The rest of the company gives good sup
port. 1t brings in several smaller roles,
notably DR.. Delany and Horace Bream.
George W. Leslie as Bream, however,
raises the role to quite an Importance, and
Hudson Liston makes all possible out OF
Delany. Sweet Lavender" will run until
next Monday, and will then give place to

AS the public have already been
informed there is to be a Woman'f
Exchange opened in this city al
No. 719 King street on Wednesday
next, April Sd. The desire of the
promoters is to make this means
of helping women in efforts at self
support; and particularly to aid
our sisters Of the Hawaiian race
who are 30 many of them at this
time left in peculiarly trying cir
cumstances Of dependence on their
own efforts.
In order to make this success,
it is necessary to have large in
terest and patronage from the
whole community. To aid all in
learning the objects of the Ex-
change, the Rules ore appended.
They are modelled after the plan of
the Exchange in Santa Barbara,
Cal, which has been an exception
ably successful one. The ladies of
the w. G.. T. u. Committee have
been encouraged that already there
are a number of applicants for the
privilege of being depositors. In
order to facilitate organization, it is
desired there should be a sufficient
base of supplies, especially of food,
in order to prevent overcrowding
on the day of opening. 1t will be
seen by Rule 1 that "none but |
frst-class goods will be received |
and Sold" It is hoped that this
will not discourage any woman
from bringing a sample of any
homemade articles Of food at any
time, subject to suggestions from
the manager or members of the
committee.
Homemade poi, from responsible
parties, will be a specialty-at
present only to be received by order
Of the Exchange.
By perishable articles, in Rule
6, is meant fruit, flowers, delicate
cakes, buildings, poi, etc.
The committee beg to suggest
that fancy articles of small value,
particularly those of Hawaiian
will find reader sale
than those of higher price. Small
articles which can be easily packed
In valise or handbag will be more
sought by tourists than many larger
ones.

ChnngeS in Legal Procedure.

The Bar association of Allegheny coun-
ty has decided TO oppose the bills rela-
tive to changes in legal procedure in the
courts of this commonwealth, proposed
to be presented to the present Legislature
at an early date by Judge Michael Ar
mold. of Philadelphia. Judge Arnold has
formulated a. dozen acts relating to reduc-
ing half "A dozen legal procedures to one
simple class, which will be presented to
the present legislature. The acts pre-
scribe the form and regulate the course Of
civil procedure and pleading in the courts
of the commonwealth. The first act Is
the important one, as it provides for the
union of law and equity in one form of ac-
tion. Judge Arnold's bill contemplates
that there shall be no distinction between
equity and the law, abOlishing periodical
return day. and providing that all ac-
tions shall be brought by statement filed,
doing away with special pleading. The
Allegheny Bar association Is of the opn-
ion that Judge Arnold's propositions,
while right in tenor, are too radical.

The Duties OF the rLaYoraItY.

The letter of Charles +. Warwick, ac-
cepting the nomination of the Republic

a document of almost unsurpassed
literary merit. Entirely apart from
any OF the unfortunate circumstances
attending that nomination, this lcGte:

the duties and responsibilities of the

American city of which any man and
any party might be proud. We need
offer no excuse for reproducing so much
of that letter as is general in its scope
and applicability:

the influence or control of any power
political, personal or corporate, that
might intrude upon the conscientious and
faithful discharge of my duty. Good gov
ernment in municipal affairs involves the
protection of person ana property by an
effective police force, and in order TO pro-
mote their efficiency II Is my purpose to
keep the members In this bureau abso-
lutely from politics. And II is also my
intention to see that all the provisions of
the city charter with respect to all the
other employees of the city participating
In politics shall be enforced In spirit and

adds: "A bill has been introduced into the

template that the work be done by sal

perhaps cost a little more than the pres

Warwick Versus Pattison.

the two political parties Side issues
Will be ignored in the light of the mem
acing presence in this struggle of a

their party nominee in preference to
transferring the political control of the.
obty government. with all its enormous
influence. to Harritys dangerous hands.
This is the logic of the situation. We
believe Mr. Warwick will be weaker
than his party, for reasons not neces-

can scarcely be 50 weak as to endanger

Death of John b. Smith.

Dunmore borough, Immediately, and
this entire community sustain loss, and
much loss, in the death of John b.
Smith. A pioneer in the development
of the upper anthracite fields, he lived
to see wildernesses conquered, villages
expand into live and many-traflicked
cities, and the agencies of civilization
evolved to high approximation 20
perfection. In all Of these battles of
development he was a generous and a
powerful factor. He was not, like
some men, dwarfed to the routine of his
first occupation; although conservative
and assiduous in the direction of bus-
ness duties, he grew manysidedly and
was up to the moment of his last i'll
ness, in cordial touch with the beat and
bravest agencies of his day.
Mr.. Smith was a man who had little
leisure for shams and mere conven-
tionalities. Self.made, he invaria bly,
estimated others at their intrinsic, not
at their extrinsic, value. This habit,
growing with the passing years, gave
him amongst strangers, a reputation
for brusqueness that did injustice to the
real man. Beneath his rugged exterior
lay warm sympa thies and a kindly and
generous disposition. The deeds of
charity and benevolence publicly attri-
buted 10 Mr.. Smith were not few nor
unimportant; but they Were only a
fraction of his total contributions TO
human relief and to the agencies which
make for human advancement.
In the death of such a man, in the
twilight of long, honorable and sue
cessfui career this community loses a
valued citizen but gains an Instructive
and an inspirinr memory
