AT THE THEATERS.

Louis XII. IS unquestionably Thomas w.
Keene's greatest characterization. Mr.. Keene
demonstrated this unanswerably at the Metro
poltan opera house last night. It is to be re-
GREETED that the people do not recognize this
and patronize this performance more literally.
Mr.. Keene, however, is largely responsible for
this in that he has chosen to identify himself
with Richard I'LL, which Is not his best char
acter Mr. Keene's Louis XI. is rare piece
Of character acting. 1t ranks with the finest
achievements on our stage. The actors per-
sonality is lost in the role. The picture is
more than photograph; it is portrait Those
SO fortunate as to witness 1t remember the
malicious, sensual, hypocritical superstitious
cruel old monarch, not Mr.. Keene, the actor
Mr.. Keene has evidently given this character
an intelligent study and "close denotement''
not bestowed upon some Of his roles. The
portrayal is elaborated with that effective de-
tail that gives it the semblance Of life. The
sense of humor which Mr.. Keene possesses to
a marked degree proves most helpful to him
in the delneation Of this moral or immoral
monstrosity. Every movement is spontaneous
every expression and every word a part of the
man. The actor is never visible, Louis XII
always.
The entire performance was satisfying Mr.
Hanford, who impersonated the fearless
Nemours, was admirable, and Lawrence Lowell
contributed an excellent characterization of
the Daulphin.

SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
Some Changes Made by the New In
dian Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Petit
grew, from the COMMITTEES on appropriations,
today reported the Indian appropriation bill.
AS reported the bill carries amendment
the provision for the allotment of lands in
Indian territory and for displacing the local
Indian courts by system of federal Judiciary
which was sent out yesterday by the Asso-
ciated Press. Another amendment throws
open to settlement the lands Of the Uncom-
pahgre reservation in Utah. provision is al
so inserted in regard to the support OF Indian
schools giving the secretary authority to
make contracts with contract schools, appor
tioning the amount paid thus among the va
rious religious denominations, but these con-
tracts are to be made only where non-sec-
tartan schools cannot be procured. The pro-
vision is the same as that of the present law,
except that the percentage is reduced from so
to 40 per cent
AS reported the bill shows an increase of
S247 S39 over the amount appropriated by the
house BILL making a total of 1880, 1856 The
principal item of this increase is $141. 500 for
the resurvey of the lands of the Chickasaw
Nation. Forty thousand dollars is provided
for irrigation on Indian reservations, instead
of $50 coo, as in the house bill.

STILL RRAYING

The United States senate continues
to earn the condemnation of good citi-
zens and decent men. It continues it's
policy Of deliberately choosing that
which will injure public business most
and neglecting or rejecting the most
pressing affairs Of the day. There were
a very few important things that this
session might have seen accomplished
Easily the first among these was the
passage Of a bankruptcy bill. The bust
ness interests Of the entire United
States have been clamoring for such an
act for the last fifteen or twenty years.
There has been comparative unanimity
on the subject even in congress, ex-
cept as to matters Of detail. A bank
ruptcy act passed the house long ago
and has been awaiting consideration in
the senate. A majority of that body
has ruthlessly slaughtered 1t, not be-
cause it was antagonistic to any other
measure Of present or practical impor-
lance, but solely in the interest of free
of senatorial excellence is to talk fool
ishly, pointlessly, wickedly against pub
lie interest, if need be- but, at any
rate, to talk INCREASINGLY; and if upon
subject that cannot have any rela-
ton to practical affairs, so much the
better.
So we have seen the bankruptcy bill
put into the background week after
week to afford an opportunity for the
eternal debate over the Nicaragua
canal steal. The indictment against
was the most outrageous job ever at
tempted to be put through in this coun-
try, but that, good, bad or Indifferent.
it had no chance to become a law at
this session 1t was, therefore, just as
useless to spend time in debating it in
the senate as it would have been to
argue the propriety of building a rail-
road to the moon. Mr.. Reed had def
nitely declared that no time would be
allowed to consider it in the house. 1t
was well known that a majority Of the
house would vote against it, even if
it could be considered. Therefore. the
Nicaragua canal bill was absolutely
dead, since all legislative matters pend
ing before congress will expire by lin
itation on the 4th Of March. Yet the
abettors of this scheme kept it, day
and night, holding it's place in the SEN
ate, and preventing action on any
other subject, solely that they might
talk uninterruptedly and unweariedly,
while duty waited outside the door.
When, at last, mainly through phys
ical WEAKNESS, the Nicaragua canal bill
went by the board, the bankruptcy
bill had to be taken up, because it was
next in the regular order of business.
But the proud and garrulous spirit Of
the senate would not brook this inva-
sion of a question Of real practical i'm
port. Hardly had the bankruptcy bill
been presented before it was laid aside
in order that the senate might spend
the balance Of the session in talk upon
the proposed arbitration treaty. If the
disposition Of the senate be as is now
understood, there is no more profit in
considering that treaty than there was
In spending time over the Nicaragua
canal. If the amendments agreed upon
by the senate committee are sustained.

Mckinley rates. In the metal schedule the
committee decided to continue the present
rates on nickel and zinc which are: Nickel,
nickel oxide, alloy in which nickel Is the
article of chief value, six cents per pound
zinc in blocks or pigs, one cent per pound; in
sheets, not polished further advanced
than rolled, one and one-half cents per pound
zinc, old and unfit only to be re-manufac-
tured, three-fourths cents per pound.
The Mckinley rates on type metal were re-
stored. They are one and half cents a
pound for the lead contained in the metal and
fifteen cents ad valorem on new type. The
present rates three-fourths cents and if
ten per cent ad valorem.
For the basket clause, which covers all
metal articles not especially provided for, the
Mckinley rate, forty-fve per cent ad valorem,
was substituted for the present rate, thirty

All there is to the invention is Il pair

and some lead pipe: The bellows are
placed under braces that are fixed i'll a

the rocking motion of the chair opens

TALES OF TWO CATS.
One Fancics Stuffed Birds and the
Other SteaIS n NNnfch


Jim is a very intelligent cat, who
is the pride Of all the clerks In a well
known business house on Market
street. Jim has become thoroughly
familiar with ''men and things" but
the other day an incident occurred
which shows that even the most intel
ligent cats can sometimes be mistaken.
1t happened that young lady entered
the store in question, wishing to pay Il
bill. She was told to take Il seat OH u
large settee While the office boy OBJ
tanned the receipt. Now, the back Of
this Settee rests against a railing which
encloses the office. This railing is very
much like a backyard fence and for
this reason it is a favorite place for
jim. He was in this place when the
lady took the seat, and he east admir-
ing glances at her. She was neatly
attired in black and had a large
stuffed bird in her hat. Everything
went we'll until jim spied this bird,
much to the alarm and fright of the
lady, who instantly jumped to her
feet, screaming loudly. jim was soon
removed, but could not be driven away
while the lady remained in the store.
The clerks are going to give jim a
stuffed bird for a Christmas present.

cats name is Madye. and she steals ev-
erything that comes in her way. While
Mr.. Bell was eating his supper, few
evenings ago, he was started by fun

direction of the racket, he beheld the
thleving cat coming down stairs with
his gold chain in her mouth, while the
watch was humping against each step.

cat Quickly Selling his time-piece,

The IdeaIDniry Cow.

Dairyman Gould, in a recent lect-
ure, gave this description of the Cow
for him:"
"rhe ideal cow" he said, lis not
large; she weighs about 1000 pounds;
she is something like race horse. for
speed in the horse and milk in the COW
are closely allied Beef in d horse and
beef in COW mean strength always.
1t is a question of nerve power, and
that is something food will not pro-
duce. only maintain. For the typical
dairy COW YOU must have the race
horse type, bony and muscular, Whetn-
err she be a Holstein, a Jersey, or what
ever she may be. You will find her
with bony head and strong jaw, long
between the eyes and nose, with broad
muzzle. She should have q very bright,
protruding eye-I want COW | can
hang my hat on her eyes. Why!
Simply OH account of her brain power.
1t means strong nerve force, and that
means action later on. | want thin
neck and retreating brisket. The lines
above and below must not be straight,
or she will steal from you; | want her
slightly depressed behind the shOul-
ders, with sharp chine; / don't want
too straight a backbone. She must
have large organs of reproduction
you don't want COW with a straight
back; I want her wedge-shaped. l
want two wedges, large in rear and
large heart-girth, i. e., between the for
ward legs. sharp on shoulder. This
gives me large heart action and the
strong arterial circulation l want.
Then, last, but by no means least, she
must have a good udder, for one-half
the value Of the COW is in her udder.
She should have a long udder from
front to rear. Then she must have
good handle on each corner of her I'D
der. And why? Because, if she gives
two pals of milk per day, it is a mat
ter of some labor to milk her.
