gers Marquis Yamagata and his suite.
Speaking through his private secretary

people that / am deeply sensible of the

usual there will be a very large and
cultivated audience. The sale of seats
is now open at the box office. Prices

Eleonora Duse will appear on Mon
day evening next in Camille" That
a great actress has appeared upon the
modern stage, no one who has seen
Eleonora Duse will think of doubling.
We have had actresses who could simu-
late without feeling the dramatic pas
sion-actresses like Mary Anderson, for
instance, who gave us a picture
wrought with infinite pains, almost like
the thing it was intended to portray,
yet cold, without thrill, destitute of
the nameless and intangible quality of
genius. Eleonora Duse does not pre-
tend to be the thing she represents.
For the moment she is that thing. She
suffers-she does not depict suffering.
She loves and hates, she rejoices and
she is wretched she actually expert
ences the tortures of jealousy, despair
and woe, she is lifted on the wings of
joy and hope and ecstasy. Mary An
derson was skillful mimic, a calcu-
fire burns, like that which the Vestals
kept aflame-forever.
The sale of seats is now open. Prices

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


The Grand Opera house was crowd
ed again last might to see Mr.. Richard
Golden in his great creation of "Old
Jed Prouty." The company comprises
the familiar original cast with hardly
an exception and the we'll remembered
localities of the drowsy village on the
blue Penobscot are pictured in newly
painted scenes. Mr.. Golden's creation
of "Old Jed Prouty' is a, unanimously
declared pastoral masterpiece, the con-
ception gentle in action, natural of
speech, refreshingly pure and thor
oughly wholesome, quaint and odd as
1T is in coloring it is devoid of every
suggestion of rudeness or exaggeration.
The story is but the chapter of a do
mesticated rural community which the
city-bred often view with mingled
amusement and profit. The touches of
Heart that abound throughout the play
meet with ready response from those
whose affection for 1.-The old folks" or
"the old home never dims as time
grows apace.
There is each evening an at the
matinee a bean guessing contest by
the audience as to the number of beans
in glass jar and the one guessing the
correct number or nearest to it will be
presented with handsome gramo-
phone. The occasion is the revival of
an old time Sunday morning custom
at Proutys tavern, Bucksport, Me.
There was great deal of interest taken
in the contest last night and, no doubt
it will increase during the remainder
of the engagement. A gramophone
goes to the successful guesser at each
performance.
The Wilbur Opera company will APP
pear all next week.

Nearly all of the jewels were locked
in Mrs. Burdens safe in her bedroom
The safe was small oldfashioned af-
fair, with an ordinary lock. Mrs Bur-
den usually hid the key of the safe.
The Burdens during the last opera
season occupied their box on Friday
nights. The robbery occurred one Fri
day night while they were at the opera.
The only member of the family left at
home was William Burden, the son.
He slept on the same floor where the
robbery was committed. He retired at
1890 o'clock that night, and soon after
ward heard some one moving about in
his fathers room. He supposed that it
was one of the servants.
The rooms occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Burden adjoined When the Burdens
returned from the opera they found
the doors of both rooms locked from
the inside.
Mr.. Burden finally got into his room
and then let Mrs. Burden into her room.
Pieces, of clothing We're strewn about
the room and bureau drawers had been
ransacked. The door of Mrs. Burdens
safe was open and her jewels missing,
The safe door had evidently been OPEN
ed with a key.
The alarm was then given and the
house lighted from cellar to garnet, al
though it was after midnight Police
men were summoned and crowd gath
cred about the front of the house. 1t
was not until the morning after the
robbery had been committed that Mr.
Burden discovered that his safe also
had received the attention of the
thieves. The door of the second safe
was locked. This was the first clue
that the detectives had that pointed
suspicion toward some of the servants.
They were all questioned, but nothing
came of it. One of the jewel boxes was
found in the yard.
A theory of the robbery was that the
thieves had entered the house by the
way of the back yard. An extension
from the Burden house is directly I'M
