MISS Catherine Lewis appeared in her own
play, Mrs. Smiths husbands" for the bone
NJ OF some hospital babies, says tbs New
York Sun. Miss Lewis played the leading
part large audience was present, but
neither MT. Gerry nor any of his minions
was In the house. There were seven other
persons In the cast and one actor, Mr. Arthur
Giles, who gave clever performance of an
addle-pated guardsman. Everybody knew
MS lines except Miss Lewis. The play is in
three acts and contains three of the most
beautiful extracts record. It was for
tunate that more Of the sick babies were not
present. for play Of this sort would prove
as disastrous as green apples to tho infant
mind. As 1t was, the only baby in the house
was removed in the second act, suffering
from severe colo.

Nelson. whose husband is manager Of the
Golden Rock mines in the Occur d'Alene.
During the passage over, Mr.. Castle meets
Sven Hanson who once saved his life, and
whom he introduces to his daughters. On
the same steamer also is Baron Rosenkranz,
who has been sent to America by a German
syndicate owning the Golden Rock mines, to
investigate the management of the mines.
The baron during the voyage pays very
marked attention to Mrs. Nelson, while Sven
shows an unmistakable liking for Jessie. Ar
irving at New York, the vessel is ordered into
quarantine by the health officer account
of case of cholera on board. The ex-min-
lister is in a state of anxiety, as he has with
him important documents which must be de-
livered in Washington the following day.
Here Sven comes to the rescue and offers
TO swim ashore with them. The curtain falls
on the first act just as Sven disappears over
the gunwale.
The second act opens in Mrs Nelson's draw
ing room In Idaho. Sven has struck it rich"
and sells his claim to Mr.. Castle proposed for
the hand Of Jessie and is accepted. The baron
appears at this stage also. He has made his
investigation and found Nelson, the manager
CT the mines, short in his accounts He
accuses him of theft and threatens to put
him in irons unless he produces the amount
In fifteen minutes. Nelson is unable to meet
the demand, and is about to end his unhappy
existence by shooting himself when Sven,
who has overheard the conversation between
the two men, again comes to the rescue. He
discovers in Nelson a long lost brother who
came to America when only a child and hal
taken the name Of an uncle who brouht him
over. To save his brother from disgrace,
Sven gives him the money he has just re-
ceived for his claim and with which but a
few moments before, he had so happily an
ticipated starting a home of his own. The
third act shows the Golden Rock mine and
the principal incident is a strike among the
worknen. In the fourth act matters are
rapidly set right. Sven marries Jessie, sets
up housekeeping, and all is sunshine. The
play Is said to be beautifully supplied with
comedy.
The scenery is picturesque showing a view
OF the harbor of Southampton, with the Isle
of Wight in the distance; New York barber

he overcomes her. she lifts a cross and,
presumably by miracle wrought in her be-
half, he is stricken down to the ground. In
another scene a boy is whipped TO make him
betray his fellow Christians, and, as he still
refuses, he is taken to an adjoining torture
chamber, and his anguished shreks on the
rack are soon heard. The end of the play
Is the exit Of the hero and the heroine to
the arena, where. by order of Nero, 200 Chris
tians are to be torn to death by wild beasts.
The play is distinctly melodramatic. as
has been said, and the quality of its melo-
drama is none too good. Wilson Barrett wrote
it, and those who remember his 'Claudian' will
find the newer work Of just about the same
poor literary quality, and also possessing
about the same valuable theatrical merits.
In other words The Sign of the Cross comes
from a pen more ambitious than able. It's
language is only seldom what it should be.
1t Is almost all the while prosaic, unromantic,
unimaginative and unoriginal But the ar
rangement Of the materials is adroit, and the
faults Of the composition ere not such as to
weaken the intended effect with people not
extra fine of taste. The mounting Is excellent

are impressive"

Mckinley is neither strong enough or

millionaire agencies behind him are what
make him a menace to the ell-being of

president not for his sake, but for their
own. IL he be installed in the white
house Hanna and his associates will

the American people been confronted by
a situation so grave. Meyer has
