Oxford Club Party.

Library hall has never looked prettier
or been more tastefully decorated than
for the Now Years eve party by the
young society people
Palms were used in great profusion,
and a pyramid of these graceful plants
was in the center of the stage screening
the musicians.
From each side above this was a most
artistic draping of smilax and ropes of
Christmas green's which was duplicated
at the entrance.
Smilax and holly were also used pro-
fusely everywhere.
The young ladies all wore beautiful
new costumes and the party was rarely
beautiful.
The pretty effect was largely due to
the efforts of the young ladies of the
decorating committee who assisted the
officers of the club
They were Misses Vera Low, Edna
Crane, Lillian Whitelock, Edna More
house, Mabel Knowles, Libbie Hazlett,
Craudthwa Packard, Berenice Mcdonald,
Edna McClintock.-
The officers are Messrs. Tom King,
Tom Clements, Howard Wood, Dean
Low and Frank Davis.
A crowd of society people from the
Topeka club were guests of the club
and many out of town guests from Atchi-
son, Lawrence, Leavenworth, and Chi
cago were present, and the party was a
decided success.

j. K. Hackett's Capital Acting.

It is not known how Herbert Kelley re-
CARDS the casting of ]. Z. Hackett for tho
principal role in 1.-The Home Secretary
in Daniel Frohman's production at the
New York IIyceum, but it is positive that
Mr.. Frohman is to be congratulated on
having put forward this young actor SO
speedily in his company. In Mr.. Wynd-
ham production of the piece at the Cri-
terion in London last summer Mr.. Louis
Waller played the part for which Mr.. Hack
EFT is cast here, and although Mr.. Waller
is considered, together with Mr.. Herbert
Warning, pre-eminent in the performance
of villains roles, there are a virility and a
precision about Mr.. Hackett' s performance
of the socialist in 1.-The Home Secretary"
that place him on plane with these two
older and more experienced actors and
that indicate that great deal may be ex-
pected from Mr.. Haokett.

Lace draperles, sofas, rugs, cushions,

and being possessed of considerable vocal
and histriOnic ability it was decided that
she should become in time a grand opera
prinha donna. To that end thorough
training was considered necessary, and
Miss Studholme accordingly made her de-
but in Dorothy singing the role OF
Lady Betty. Her next London engagement
was in LA Cigale,'' in which she had
only a small part. She suffered from i'll
health at about this time and found it
necessary to return to her native village
to recoup.
After very brief retirement Miss Stud
holme was lured back to the British me-
tropolis by an offer of the character of the
bride in Haste to the Wedding" at the
Trafalgar theater. There her remarkable
winsomeness of manner was first extend
edly noticed by the newspapers. An en-
gagement in Betsy at the Criterion
followed, and again the fair young actress
found it necessary to go home to win back
her health and strength, which have since
never failed her.
She soon returned to the Shaftesbury
theater, where - Morocco Bound'' was the
attraction. Here she enjoyed positive
triumph, having been successful in no less
than three parts in the piece-those orig
iDally assigned to Violet Cameron and
Jennie McNulty besides her own. The en-
terprising and octopian George Edwardes,
recognizing that the little beauty was also
possessed of extraordinary versatility, i'm
mediately made Miss Studholme an offer
to join his Gaiety company. This was &C.
copied, and than the Morocco Bound"
syndicate made'her a more tempting prop
osition to remain. She would have pre-
ferred to stay where was i'll the
changed circumstances, but the agreement
had already zen signed, and Miss Stud
holme beca Miss Gladys Stourton in

enormous, and when Mr.. Edwardes was
getting together special company to
send to the United States, Miss Studholme
is said to have been his very first selection.
His wisdom is demonstrated by the col
umns of praise devoted to the little Eng

critical New York theatrical critics.

HURTS OUR FLOUR TRADE.
The Mckinley Tariff Causes a Loss of $16,-
100000 a Year to AIiIIerS


100000 Year Millers
CHICAGO, Jan. G-The interest of
American millers is conferred in the next
meeting of the executive committee of the
National Millers' Trade association to be
held here about jan 81. AliIlers gener-
ally have practically decided upon a per-
sistent agitation for reciprocity with
South American countries and will max e
a determined effort for the repeal of that
part of the tariff law which they think
conflicts with the Touring interests of
the United States.
B. A. Reckhart, prominent mem Der
of the association. says the prospect of
the Cubans gaining their independence
will have a tendency to promote COM
mercial relations between the new re-
public and this country.
"The present prOhibitive tariff between
America and South American countries"
no said "ahould be removed, but
we realize that an amendment to
the Wilson law to obtain this desired
relief would not be necessarily grant
ed for one commodity, Others will
doubtless be included. The idea is to
continue agitating until the result is at
tanned. Millers do not anticipate any
relief from the present congress as the
president would veto any such bill. As
long as the present tariff is in effect, it
means a decrease of 4,000O00 barrels of
flour annually il the export and loss of
$10000,000 per year to American millers
compared to the benefits by reciprocity
through the Mckinley law"

Convention In Chicago.
Hustling Chicago has had about every

chronological convention, and she re-
