TIC mem bers of the company is William

objection for shining as the heavy father.

Is all one can say in favor of The female
side OF James support.
But with all these extenuating circum-
stances, 1t was too bad of San Francisco to
leave so many of those plush seats vacant.
James is such genial actor, and invests
each part he plays with such magnetic
and unobtrusive personality that one can
see him in every character of his roper
tory and never be oppressed with feeling
of sameness. My parting wishes for him
are that he will come back next season,
leaving "Spartacus" on the dusty shelf
where he found it, that he will have added
to his company by at least one actress
who can really act, and that San Fran
cisco will have experienced a change OF
heart toward the legitimate drama.

and Beach, who carried his wardrobe
In small gripsack, observed with envy
that Wilfert was the happy possessor of
substantial saratoga. The cold in Halifax
was intense, and as Beach sat shiyering
in the greenroom of the theater his envy
was increased by seeing Wifert enter in a
warm overcost. Beach at once resolved
that the coat should change hands and
made overtures to that effect, but Wilfert
rejected them.
On the opening night of the season
Wllfert had scene which he considered

Tor displaying his talents. To his dismav
Beach, who was on the stage with him,
'guyed' him and spoiled ali his best et-

me that overcoat." whispered Beach, The
scene was nearing its climax, Wiliert felt

| Kissed out, as be took the center of the
stage, Take the coat, but let me get my
curtain-call."
That night Beach went home, wearing
the coveted garment and Wiifert lulIed

great scene the next night Alas! he was
reckoning without his host, for the fol-
lowing evening Beach began his old
tactics.
Didn't l give you the overcoat?"
| Whispered Wilfert.
Yes, replied Beach, "but I'm out of
socks"

IS A SPIRIJUALISJ.
Sardou Makes a Confession of
Faith and Incidentally Booms
His New Plan.

No play has ever had such preliminary
booming as Sardou's new work spirit
ISM" 1t began with a few paragraphs
dealing with spirituaIism generally, then
the European papers got into contro-
versy over 1t, and now they have pub
lished acres OF literature on the subject.
Sardou himself boldly affirms his belief in
the phenomena of spiritualism He saws
that for forty years he has been a wonder
full medium himself, and has had wonder
ful manifestations at his house.
My piano has played of itself. Flowers
have fallen from my ceiling upon table,
and 1t is who have brought this about.
and they dare not lay at my door calum-
MES such as true mediums are exposed to.
and say to me as they had the impudence
10 say to Home that l am a charlatan.
For the last forty years 1 have said to
whoever would listen to me that l would
consider as idiots those who allow them
selves to be taken in by the agents of Jug
glery, frauds and mountebanks. 1 should
equally regard as imbeciles those people
who deny the reality of phenomena at
tested to by men of science and people like
myself. For that reason my play is
awaited for TO see what shall say. 1t is
the first time that any one has dared to put
spiritualism OH the stage, and the papers
nave oeen puplishlng recently experiences
which are very similar to those referred to
in my first act-the misplacing OF objects
without touching them, hands seen and
felt. These hands have been pressed in
mine. And this / have told to the world
briefly. People will deride me; they will
argue; the increduious will deny, the be-
levers will send me flowers. 1t will be a
struggle and test, but it will be power
and honors; and l do not wish to COM
promise the victory in the battle by de-
Driving myself of single cannon-ball.
For this reason l wish to retain the ar
rangements bring forward in nv play.''
The above confession of faith is con-
tanned in letter which Sardou has writ
ten to Charles Frohlnan in reply to re-
quest that certain "cuts" be made in
the American production of "Spiritism''
at the Knickerbocker Theater. He ha.
also written TO several of the French
papers, and has told startling anecdotes
of his adventures with spirits.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17-For several
days reports have been current in Wall

practically been out of the sugar bus
mess, although one of his sons is ac-
tive in the trade and is recognized
expert. According to the report Mr..
Doscher wants to build up a business
to leave to his sons. He owns two
blocks of water front in Green Point,
which is well adapted for refinery pur-
poses. 1t was said that Mr.. Doscher
intended to break ground for a new
refinery, with a capacity of $500 bar
rels a day, within month Mr.. Dosch-
err, when seen, confirmed the report
that he intends to re-enter the bust
ness of sugar manufacturing.
