II was a great day when Aurelian, the
Roman emperor, came back from his
| victories. In the front Of the procession
were wild beasts from all lands sixteen
hundred gladiators richly clad, wagon
loads Of crowns and trophies presented
by conquered cities. Among the cap
tives Syrians, Egyptians, Cloths, Van
dals. Sarmatians, Franks, and Zenobia,
the beautiful captive queen, OH foot in
chains of gold that slave had to iielp
her carry and jewels under the weight
Of which she almost tainted. And then
came the chariot Ct Aurelian drawn by
four elephants in gorgeous caparison,
and followed by the Roman senate and
the Roman army, and from dawn TIL
day the procession was passing. Rome
in all her history never saw anything
more magnificent. But how much great
er the day when our conqCeror, Jesus,
shall ride under the triumphal arches OF
heaven. His captives, not on foot, but
in chariots, all the kingdoms of earth
and heaven in procession. The armies
celestial ON white horses. Rambling ar.
tillery Of thunderbolts never again to
be unlimbered. Kingdoms in line, cen

all worlds, shall cry halt to the process

blest in all the reach Of his omnipres
ence, he shall rise, and then and there,
his work done and his glory consum'
mated, proceed, amid an ecstasy such as
| neither mortal nor immortal ever i'm
agined, TO divide the spoil.

The independent Theater In Russia

The organization Of the Free theator
was a notable event in orr dramatic
life. Early last year the first attempts
were made to produce literary and ar
tistic plays, and although there was no
regular company, the degree Of success
attained was gratifying Among the
plays produced were Henry "" and
other Shakespearean dramas. Gerhardt
Hauptmann' "Hannele" followed, and
had to be given 10 times, the audiences
being large and enthusiastic. Encour-
aged by this sign Of public favor, the
managers leased theater, organized a
regular company and inaugurated a
series Of remarkable productions Of Rus
sian plays, new and old. Tolstoi's
Power Of Darkness" was given, and
this alone was a great service to art as
well as literature. The play was dis
cussed widely and thoroughly, and
created a sensation.
The Free Theater also secured special
permission Of the authorities to produce
a play by Potekhin. 1t is safe to say
that neither Of these plays would ever
have been staged by private managers
A number Of great foreign plays fol-
lowed-by Ibsen, Sudermann, Maeter.
linck, Victor Hugo and others. In all
~ performances were given, and the
average receipts were S02 rubles (said to
be unusually large for Russia). Consid-

obstacles which the movers in this en-
terprise had to overcome, the record Of
the first year is excellent. The public
willingly patronized the Free theater,
and, at all events, there remains the
fact that new private theater has been
established which subordinates all con-
siderations to the true interests Of liter

The outcry raised by the Dispatch some

From the two compa 7ies. or such ieeisia-
siop from the city Council. as will cause
The rival companies 10 content themselves
with two instead OF four tracks on Broad
sireet.
Two tracks are enough. four are too
many. and would nsedlessly mar the best
street thai Richmond has. How terms
between the two companies may De az
ranged We do not know: but diligent III
ouirv will doubtless disclose a way.
Neither the Dispatch nor the Broad
street Association. nor yet the general
public which is giving this movement an
enthusiastic support. wish to favor one
.ompany over the other. but they do want
,o say. Broad street from senseess desc
Grafton. To do this they will use all
their effcrts 10 secure reciprocal conces-
sions from the companies. believing that
mat course will be the best for the
companies for Broad street and the gene

The leverage that the Broad-Street As

that It will succeed we hope and believe.
