1t is with tremb bling anxiety that the
male portion OF the population awaits the
new styles in Easter bonnets, and worse
still, Easter hats, which tomorrow will
give to the world. Will they be monu-
mental, or trifles light as air? Is there
any hope that tie male bipeds will be able
TO ges an occasional glimpse of the stage,
or will their sole business at the theater be
to pay and then sink into harmless OBJ
scurity behind mass of spring millinery
An ominous sign is that for some weeks
past the "women's pages" in the daily
press have given illustrations of new spring
bonnets, constructed on the principle of
a garden parterre, with nodding roses,
lilies and lilacs standing upright in a brist-
ling and defiant attitude. 1t is all very
well to say
The flowers that bloom in the spring, ira! laI
Have nothing to do with the case.
They have a great deal to do with it
when the flowers bloom directly in front
of your line of vision at the tn eater, and it
is on that account that male admirers of
the drama are awaiting in fear and trem-
bling the advent of the spring bonnet.

East for Easter, and she intends to i'm
prove the occasion by appearing in pur
pose play, the object OF which is to prove
that divorced people should not be pro-
hibited from marrying again. The Tivoli
has a homemade extravaganza, which it
defies any one to prove inferior to those
manufactured in the East, and the Alcazar
gives the quietus to it's continuous variety

AT the California Theater tomorrow
night Peter F. Daley commences a two
weeks engagement in his latest laughing
success, "The Night Clerk" The comedy
drama is from the pen of John J. McNallv.
who was responsible for Dailey's former
plays, "A Straight Tip'' and "a Country
Sport. Among the members of the COM
pany are Jennie Yeamans, Miss Gertrude
Ford, Raymond Hitchcock, John Sparks.
Rita Emerson, Freda Depew, Bertie Dyar,
Ida Rock, Eva Butler. Hugh Mack, Charles
oturgls. Lawrence Sheehan, NJ. J. Sulli-
van, William Keough, Peter Randall, Rene
Stretti and the Olympia Quartet.
THE Night Clerk is said to be free
rom all coarseness and to abound with
comedy and fun. 1t has received an ex
pensive setting and the way in which the
asst act is put OH the stage is worthy of a
Christmas pantomime.

before was justified by the afterward. He

1vette Guilbert is stupid and incompre-

VINO gives US human nature as it is, not
only In the slums of London, but in the
alleys of the whole world.'
Some of the New York papers, however,
express lneffable disgust at the Chevalier
craze. The Recorder says:
What an unmitigated set of hypocrites,
or. worse still, of fools, must Chevalier
thlnk us, and when he returns home,
what laugh will go round the London
clubs at the expense of the American
public!
"Chevalier said America staggered him
the 1rst day of his arrival. That audience
at Rosters must have staggered him on
the first night.
"Now that he has regained his com.
posure, he estimates its laudation at its
true worth.
The same scenes have been gone
through each succeeding night in the
week, until l haven't the slightest doubt
'Aat Chevaller was thoroughly diSgusted.
"On Friday night it seemed to me that 1
could detect on his face latent expression
OF profound contempt for the insensate
mob pounding its hands together and
shouting itself hoarse over something it
didn't understand"
Ihe World goes with the multitude to
ADMIRE the ''coster" singer, for it says:
Chevalier Is music-hall artist. That
causes much drawing aside of fur coats
among our young 'dress-suit' brigade of
matinee favorites. But let them not for
get that Chevalier is an individuality. He
Is not one of a dozen or of hundred, but
one all by himself. He would have been a
great actor had he stayed in the theater,
put he preferred to step aside and create
ms own characters and win his own pecu-
liar and individual fame. The result is
that there is no player in England to-day
that can be compared with MIN as an art
ist. he never misses. He always produces
the effect he intends. And he is as great
to the few as TO the many"

James O'Neill's Hamlet.


NO one of Shakespeare's creations per-
mlts OF such varied Interpretation as the
character of Hamlet. Its infinite COM
plexities, its presentation of such varied
changes in the mental processes, admit of
many independent onceptions
Shakespeare presents man gifted with
great intellectual power, born out of his
time, at war with his environments, doubt
Ing yet believing, desirous of advancing in
the lines suggested by his reason, yet halt
ing at every critical point in the face of an
opposition born of his own interpretive
analytical conjuration. The great master
presents 10 us vivid picture of an internal
conf1ict-the battle OF reason against
faith founded on uperstition-the eternal
rebellion of the strong soul against the in
equalities of life, the arbitrary domination
of apparent trihes over the noblest of pur-
poses.
The very complexities of Hamlet g ma
ture produce and justify varied inter-
pretation. In reviewing, therefore, the
work of the individual Hamlet we must
first discover what the actors own con-
ception of the part is, and we must meas
ure his skill by the way in which he sus-
tains that conception.
1t is folly to compare one Hamlet with
another except where the second is merely
a replica of the first. We may prefer one

Nevada Can Tax Railroad Lands.

Washington City. April 20.-Iustlee
Brown delivered the opinion Of the su-
preme court today in The case Of the Cen
trail Pacific Railway Company va. The
State OF Nevada. involving the right Of
the state to tax the lands OF the rail-
road company The case came TO the gu
preme court from the Nevada supreme
court on a writ of error sued out by the
railroad company. The state conrts held
that the state was entitled 10 levy taxes
upon patented lands and also for lands
which had not been patented. but which
had been surveyed and on which the cost
OF surveying had not been paid. Justice
Browns opinion afflrms this decision.
''If" he said .'lhe railroad had a possess
sorry claim TO the lands. they are taxa
bic under the sta'ate Of Nevada" Re
marking upon the plea that the land could
not be taxed where the government re-
served mineral lands from the grant, he
said. IF the state has no posSessory
claim because the lands are mineral. IL
certainly cannot b. injured by sale Of
the lands TO pay the tax" He did not
think II possible that the railroad COM
pany-s enormous land grant should re-
main uutzxed Until the character OF the
ianas as 80 minerals could be- determined
Justice Field dissented. on the ground
that the reservation OF mineral lands from
the grant made II impossible to determine
what lands could he properly taxed against
the railroad company.
