full as its title would indicate.
There are only two characters, the Ouch
ess Sevres and Lord Vase. The book is a
burlesque on the fashionable fad of col
lecting brtc-a-brac. The duchess is sup
posed to be the owner of an antique vase
that had once been in the possession of
Julius Caesar, the patron of all bric-a-
brac collectors. Lord Vase is a victim of
the fad, rolling in wealth but too misery
to pay the fabulous price set upon the
dish of Caesar. He makes up his mind to
marry the duchess and get possession of
the precious plate in that way.
So the blue china courtship begins. It
is a fragile sort Of love making, no more
flushed with passion than the delicate glow
of a peachblow vase.

Those who love a story of the heart,
whose blood will run a little faster at the
sight of gallant deed, or whose mind will
respond gratefully to a poetic suggestion,
will be glad to know that The Prisoner of
Zenda'' contains all these elements, beauti-
fully staged and excellently acted. 1t is
one of the best examples of Anthony
Hopes work. It has plot tangibly Sc
quentiaI in incident and stirring in interest.
The scenes, which are laid in Ruritania,
offer ample opportunity for fanciful eff
fects in costumes and scenery. The story
of the play is told in a prologue and four
acts and hinges on the coronation Of Ru-
dolph v, king of Ruritania, and the plot
to get him drunk and let the crown go to
a scheming rival The incidental action
leading up to the event forms the body
of the play and gives plenty of interest.
The prologue is supposed to have its action
in 1873. The play proper opens in the for
est near Zenda, the time being 1894, where
a young English artist is at work beneath
the outstretchIng branches of "a great oak,
and to him comes Rudolph Rassendyel, the
hero of the story. The meeting with Colonel
Sapt and Fritz Won Tarlenheim, faithful
followers of the king. ensue, and then the
Introduction of the unfortunate king and
the coronation of his double, colored with
a dash of humor here and there, takes
place. During the third act, the bogus
king meets Hentzau, a henchman of the
conspirator, Black Michael, at the castle.
and before leaving Hentzau stabs Rassen-
dyel
The last act shows the dungeon at Zenda,
where Rassendyel rescues the real king
and returns him to the throne, but Black
Michael is slain to accomplish it. In the
meantime however. the strongest dramatic
emotions are developed in the love that
springs up between the imposter king and
the beautiful but real Princess Flavta-
The parting between the two lovers,
which ends the play. is one in which the
strongest emotions are displayed and is in
fused with unusual pathos.
In the cast TO appear here are Isabel
Irving, Maude Odei Charles Wolcot, How
ard Gould. Walter S. Hale, Arthur Elliott,

can go into the markets and buy sill

thing to buy even silver with. If you
owe debt and have money: with
which to buy silver, why buy silver'
Why not pay the debt direct7 There
is no advantage in buying silver un-
less Mr.. Bryan means that if you owe
some man a dollar you can buy So
cents worth of silver, offer that to your
creditor and then assert that you have
discharged your obligation. If it is
not that, we fail to see what advan-
tage there would be in buying silver
to discharge that debt. And if it be
that why not go to your creditor and

| The ssrising dollar is a favorite
expression Of the friends OF free and
unlimited coinage OF silver. They
assert constantly that gold has ap-
preciated in value, by reason of Il
scarcity or "cornering OF that met
al, and that, therefore, the gold
dollar is a rising dollar and con-
sequently more difficult to get, while
at the same time, it presents to it's
owners tempta ton to hoard it for
it's mere growth in value instead OF
allowing it to go into use.
None of the misleading statements
which the silver advocates make is
more deceptive and at the same time
,, more effective than this one.
The fact is that the amount of gold
money in the world is increasing
with astonishing rapidity and in
creased at a much greater speed in
the past few years than most people
suppose. Gold is now being pro-
duced from the mines at the rate Of
$2OO,0OO,OOO a year. A half CEN
tury ago production OF ten millions
year was phenomenal. As a con-
sequence the amount OF gold in the
world is today three times as large
as it was fifty years ago. The best
statisticians put the amount OF gold
in the world fifty years ago, coined
and uncoined, at less than $780,
000,oeo, while today it is apparently
over $1,000, 100000. Thus it will
b" seen that the quantity has trebled
in a half century. Fifty years ago
one-third of the gold in the world
is coined iuto money.
Thus it will be seen that there is
six times as much gold coin in the
world today as there was fifty years
ago, and since the population has
fDnly increased fifty per cent in that
time, it follows that there is four
times as much gold money for each
individual as there was half a CEN
tury ago.
Meantime the silver money of the
world has more than doubled, be-
ing now four billions of dollars,
while it was less than two billions a
half century ago. The paper money
of the world has also increased large
ly meantime.
In addition to all this, that more
convenient and elastic medium of
exchange, banking paper, including
checks, drafts, bills of exchange, etc.,
has increased with even greater
rapidity, thus adding enormously TO
the currency of the world.
It will be seen from the above
brief statement OF facts that the as
sumption that gold has appreciated
is not warranted, since the reason
for it's appreciation or increase
in value could be only because OF an
increased demand for it.-Reposi-
tory Leafet.
