minister of education, having learned of
this. has taken proceedings under the
Pacca law against Sig. di Frisco, the
owner OF these antiquities. The latter is
large land owner at BOseo Reale. He
secretly made excavations on his estate
and found p silver vases Of remote an

Notwithstanding the Italian law pro-

law. which prevents old works of art
from commanding anything like their

search, he found other silver vases,

that, should any officials be found to
have connived at this latest evasion of

The rest of the company fill their parts acceptably, and carry the play on to the last scene, when on Christmas night Uncle Nathan'l, hav- ing filled the children's stockings and re- deemed the old farm from the mortgage, and seen all he loves happy and peaceful, gone to sleep, locks the door, turns down the Hampers in the stove, and. taking his candle mounts the stairs to his own room. He passes though the door, and all that remains is the light of the dying fire and the moon shining through the frosty panes of the window. All within is quiet and peace. Without, the snow is covering the earth like a benediction, and the play is done"

"Shore A cres."


 Speaking of "Shore Acres which was played in New Orleans last week, the Picayune says:
 Tt is an American play by an Ameri- can playwright and deals with simple and homely people who live down east on the coast of Maine. Into their lives come love and greed and ambition and temptation-all the great passions that sway the human heart-and with them a love and tenderness and self-sacrifice great enough to save. Shore Acres was played here last season, but it will bear seeing many times. It is full of To- cal color The characters speak with the quaint idiom' of the down east yankee, and are just such sturdy, honest. thrifty folk as have wrung a hard lv- ing out of the bleak shores of New Eng land. or leavened the whole west with their enterprise. The play is prettily staged. There is a realistic pump, hol- lyhocks bloom on the garden fence, and there is a real horse trough, in which tha farm hands wash at dinner time, and kitchen with homely strings of herbs hanging from the walls, and stove, in which most appetizing turkey is cooked. with kettle singing on one side and cranberries stewing away on an- other, and stacks of pies on the dresser It is picture to make any New Eng lander homesick Mir.

In the part of Nathanl Berry he has a role for which he is most admirably adapted, and he portrays the gentle, sweet. unselflsh old man, with ' cheery good nature and his hidden romance, with a rare tender

THINGS DRAMATIC.

The admirers of all that is pure and re- fined in histrionic art recognize MT. Charles A. Gardners pre-eminence in the field of singing comedians. His appear ance here tonight in new play, entitled
 "The Prize Winner" should call forth a representative audience. He has in the part of Karl Wagner, in "The Prize Win ner," most congenial role. His DOT trayal evidences his prodigious talents as comedian, permeated by the most charming personality. He never stoops to buffoonery to create mirth, but is at all times a legitimate fun-maker. He will introduce, in his inimitable manner
 several of the songs which have added to his opularity-"Turner's Triumph"
 "A Butterfly Song," "The German Flow CT Girl" "Gesundheit" and Wedding Bells" Particular mention should be made of Apple Blossoms, which has been universally hailed as a fit compan- ion to the "Lilacs." The other scenic features of the performance are the clev- CT Rumley children and celebrated troupe of Tyroleans, who make their first American appearance with MT. Gardner.
