Haworth's picturesque naval drama, "The
Ensign" next week at the Columbia Thea
ter. Much attention has been given to the
details OF stage-setting, and the gundeck
OF maE-of-war is one of the realistic
scenes promised. President Lincoln fig
ures in tabIeau, and Admiral Farragut
and Captain Wilkes are among the charac-
ters in the play.
The action of the play takes place dur
ing the War of the Rebellion. In order to
prevent Captain Wilkes from capturing

The Lyceum Company will present "An
Ideal Husband" at the Baldwin next week,
a play which has been very successful in
London and New York. 1t is a comedy of
modern English life. very witty and cpl
grammatic, but with less cynicism and
more sentiment than other plays by the
same author.
Richard Chiltern is the ideal husband.
He is Cabinet Minister, rich, talented
and respected as man of unblemished
honor. In the eyes of his wife he is ideal
lied; she believes him man against
whom no one can say anything. Chiltern
in his youth was attached to the Viennese
EN- bassy, and while there sold state
secret to Jewish banker, thereby making
for himself fortune. 1t was his one sin,
and years of subsequent prosperity had led
him to believe this sin would never be dis
covered. In the height of his popularity,
however, he finds his secret is in the hands
of an enemy and is about to be disclosed.

If the theater IS a reflection of the real
world, what merry place this must be to
live in. Melancholy can claim not a single
San Francisco theater for her own. The
comic side of the conventional theatrical
mask seems to have spread over the
dramas mobile face till not even at
Morosco's is there any crime or sorrow or
sin to speak of. There doesn't seem to be
any room in the stage world for villains
just now, and the faults of theatrical char
acters this week have been such slight,
pardonable ones that we may we'll con-
gratulate ourselves upon the prevailing
tone of good-nature and general stage
iollity. For we smile at the Baldwin, we
laugh at the Columbia we roar at the
California.
at the Baldwin one is transported into
fairy realm, where the women are beauti-
ful and brave and strong, the men beautiful
or brave or Tweenways; where, when a
girl does get into trouble, providential
titled cousin and prospective husband
appeases Mrs. Grundy before that excel
lent, strait-laced dame knows she has
been offended; where the only barrier to
eternal, idyllic, aristocratic felicity is the
-,
which the wind Nature, dances for time
in wanton playfulness, and then changing
from zephyr to a whirlwind rushes for
ward, downing the thing of rags and
sticks, and flies on with whistle and a
shrek, while the LADIES' Belturbet and
their lovers three march gayly over the
PROSTATE make-believe to a happy curtain.
AT the Columbia things are almost as
lovely, though little more earthly. 1.-THE
Jilt'' has the gentle, kindly, Old World
atmosphere of Lever, who couldn't bear to
be cruel. except perhaps to an English
dandy or clergyman. So the Reverend
Spooner stumbles short-sightedly land
does it very well, too), on and off the stage,
a survival of Restoration times when he
stumbled through life-a pitiable, con-
temptible sorrowful figure. But all of the
rest of the people are happy and human.
Lord Marcus Wylie is not desperate
villain and Daisy of Daisy & Co. is amen
able to gilt-edged argument.
OF course, to make "The Jilt'' fully effec-
tive requires a Boucicault or an Irished
Emmett, who should possess a brogue as
fetching as Fritz's accent. But actors
such as these, whose personality is SO win
ming that one readily believes and shares
in the trust and affection their presence
creates among the other characters upon
the stage, are rare; rare as genius, as
Lyceum companies, as taste and tact are.
Emmet with song, dance, smile and
word or two could carry as crude ready
made play as was ever fitted to one mans
abilities. Boucicault could make of Myles
O'Hara so lovable so charming a char
acter that all the women in the audience
dreamily envied Kitty Woodstock her
lover, and the men didn't wonder why.
Frawley hasn't any of this charm. There
is none of the champagne of genius in the
bottle which he uncorks for the Columbia's
patrons. AT times it has been beer, and
fat at that, which he gave thera; but there
was wine in the bottle last week, not of a
surprisingly mellow, luscious quality, but
right good wine, fit to be served at,

tnestimable value after she began her

Feeding tho Hen.

To keep a hen in good condition for
laying she should never have a full
crop during the day. 1t Is not wrong
to give a light meal of mixed food,
warm in the morning, in the trough,
but such meal should be only one
fourth the quantity the hens require.
They should 60 away from the trough
unsatisfied, and should then seek their
food, deriving it grain by grain, en-
gaging in healthy exercise in order to
obtain It, and in such circumstances
the food will be passed into the 5iz-
zard slowly. and the better digested.
Gradually the hen will accumulate
sufficient food to provide for the night.
going on the roost with a full crop,
where she can leisurely forward 1t
from the crop to the gizzard. Feed
ing soft food leads to many errors on
the part Of the beginner, causing him
to overfeed and pamper his hens, and
by it they will reach a condition
that is entirely antagonistic to laying.
It is much better to feed hard grains
only than to feed from a trough, un-
less the soft food is carefully measured.
A quart of mixed, ground grain, moist

should be sufficient for forty hens as

quarts of whole grain should then be

dying woman under the influence Of
hypnotism. Should the judge accept
the statements as true, they will cut a
great figure in a murder mystery.
George Hires was sentenced by Judge
Ellison to IL years in the penitentiary
on conviction of the murder of William
Foust, July last. The principal wit
ness against him was Mrs. Maggie Boil
ton. After the trial she said that her
testimony was false, and that she
herself had done the deed. DR.. J. B.
Callen, who claims to have hypnotic
power, was granted permission to place
the woman in the hypnotic state to as
certain which of her statements was
the correct one. Judge Ellison. the off,
cial stenographer, and DR.. Callen went
to the hospital. where Mrs. Bolton is
said to be on her death bed from con-
sumption, and in the presence Of these
witnesses, DR.. Callen soon had the
woman in the hypnotic state. Mrs. Boil
ton spoke in a loud, clear voice, though
heretofore, on account of her weakness.
she was scarcely able to whisper.
She said that the shot that killed
Foust was fired by Hires, and that her
statement that she had done the deed
was extorted from her by Hires, who
said the authorities suspected her son.
She then shouldered the crime to shield
her son. After she had been brought
out Of the cataleptic state she did not
remember anything that she had just
told. Judge Ellison was greatly inter-
ested, but he declined to state what
effect it would have on the case. A
motion for a new trial for Hires is
