1t was matter of considerable COM
ment at the BEGINNING of Grants first
term that he had ignored the politicians
and filled his Cabinet with business men
or with men from private life. Gradually
the first Grant Cabinet dissolved, and as
the Secretaries went out their places were
taken by men of more political experience
1t is an interesting fact that four-fifths of
the men who have filled Cabinet places
have been lawyers.
And it is also worthy of note that about
the same proportion has never been
heard of in public life after leaving the

largely in the settings and the scenic display is elaborate and beautiful. Everything necessary for the produc- tion is carried and the smallest detail has been given careful attention. The company is large and strong one and all the characters are effective. Two of the most prominent are the comedy role, Septimus Cobb, an Amer ican colonel from Kentucky, and the Baroness von Rhineberg, a young French widow These cleverly drawn characters are great favorites and by their merry fun making are most en- tertaining.

There will be few dramatic produc-
 tions seen here this season which will
 surpass that romance of realism,
 Darkest Russia,' which will be seen
 at the opera house Monday night, De-
 cember IA. In every way the play .ap-
 peals to the better class of theater go- CTS. The story is one of interest and
 d1SclOSes series of stirring scenes and
 situations. The theme revolves to a large extent around the political sys- tenn of Russia, and although in no way being sensational or melodramatic, it
 brings forward and shows in true light the peculiar laws which govern
 the land and under which the people are held in subjection. On it's tour the play has met with popular approv- al. In New York it ran for six weeks
 at the Fourteenth street theater; Chi cago, four weeks at 'McVicker's, and three weeks at the Chestnut street
 opera house, Philadelphia, Pa. Dark est Russia" is a masterpiece of stage | construction and the author, Mr. H. l Grattan Donnelly, has woven around the plot story of most absorbing in terest. The play pictures every phase of Russian life. The secret police,
 the military and the nihilist, as well ] as the noble, peasant and exile, are seen in every type of character. AL
 though the play alone is one which
 would command unbounded success,
 the proprietors have, nevertheless,
 mounted it in an exceedingly lavish
 manner. The spectacular enters
