"Iime cannot wither nor custom stale" the
deep heart in terests, the noble sentiments and
stirring patriotism OF Bronson Howard's
American drama, Shenandoah"
On its first production, some eigh years ago,
the American public imm medistely recognized
it as one of the few plays that would give our
people q standing in the realms of ramatic
literature. The great men of the Nation rose
to honor 1t, and the late General Sherman
came 10 the front with the famous line that
will always adorn its posters-''It should be
seen by every American citizen" Fortu-
nately for ''Shena ndoah," it Is a drama that
relies not solely on the cast; while good actors
certainly accentuate its many merits, indiffer-
ent ones cannot mar its stirring situations nor
beautiful pictures.
Shenandoah" is rather above the heads of
the Frawley players. Tney suffice TO unfold
the thrilling story of the play, but bear not
comparison with the other players whose
names are so closely identified with is great
successes. In defiance of all the rules of dra-
matte history Theodore Hamilton, the ''old
man" of the cast, captured all the honors
leaving Frank Worthing, 'leading man. OF
the company. far be hind in the race. Hamil-
TONS General Buckthorn was one of the finest
bits OF acting the Columbia patrons have mad
for some time. 1t was a living breathing char
acer cation that makes one forget the artif-
claI surroundings, the tinsel and glare Of the
theater. Worthing, physically considered, Is
hardly OF the pattern that Kerchival Vests
are modelled on. His characterization lacked
strength and vigor and a defective memory
did not help matters along.

colors of Erin entwined with those of the
United States.
Irish music and patriotic addresses
made up the programme, the speakers
of the evening being Jeremiah Deasy,
president of the Celtic Union, Hon. ]. J.
Dwyer and Hon. James G. Mcguire.
Shortly after O'clock Professor Merri-
gan touched the keys OF the organ and for
fifteen minutes the deep, the melancholy,
the hghtsome and the merry tones of
Ireland's beautiful songs swelled throug h
the hall. The uniformed company of Red
Branch Rifles attended in force.
Just before the conclusion of the beauti-
full medley the officers and orators filed
upon the stage and were greeted with a
burst of applause.
Mayor Phelan had consented to preside
at the meeting, but President Deasy read
letter from him dated at Bartlett
Springs, in which he begged the indul-
gence of the audience and of the union as
the time of his vacation had been pressed
upon him by his affairs just now and he
was therefore compelled 10 be absent In
his letter he felicitated the union upon
it's determination to cele brate the ami
versary and said:
1t Is said that the progress of freedom has
been from scaffold to scaffOld and from grave
10 grave. The death OF this patriot is but one
of lreland's many sacrifices 10 freedom Ire
land had been the victim of the most CALLING
tyranny, far more grieyous than that from
which the American colonies suffered, and
revolution appeared to be the only real rem
edy. Wolfe Tone was willing to lead that
revolution and died In the holy cause OF
country. The death of Washington would
have been no greater calamity TO America
than was the death of Robert Emmett Lord
Edward Fitzgerald and Wolfe Tone TO their
native land.
By celebrating the birthday of Wolfe Tone
you keep alive the embers of patriotism. and
you show your devotion to the cause of civil
liberty, which is the lasting interest of all
mankind, and which ultimately must be es-
tablished and recognized throughout the civ
illZed world.
Congraulating you again upon this even
1ng's demonstration, and sincerely regre tting
my inability to be present in person, 1 am,
yours very respectfully,

last night in "The Prisoner of Zenda," a

fascination since it was presented here

James K. Hackett and Isabelle Irving
Hacketl again played the triple role of
the three Rudolphs, and fought duels. got
drunk, made love and braved it out
through his desperate impersonation Of
the king as dashingly as ever.
A number of changes have been
made IL the cast since the road company
played 1.-The Prisoner OF Zenda," most OF
them for the better. In the prologue
Elizabeth Tyree was more natural and
less "hyenaish" in her laugh thau her
predecessor in the role of the Countess of
Rassendyll. Edward Morgan was also a
more polished villain than his prede-
cessor in the part of Rupert's scheming
cousin. and William Courtleigh, if too
yonng for the part of the Earl of Rassen-
dyil managed to enlist some of the SYM
palhies of the audience for the betrayed
husband.
In the play proper Charles WaIcot re-
peated his well-ngh perfect impersona-
tlon OF that faithful adherent OF royalty,
Colonel Sapt; Frank r. Mills proved a sat-
sfactory Fritz and William Courtleigh
was an excellent Captain Hentzau.
The chief interest iii the cast, however,
centered in the first San Francisco appear
ance of Mary Mannering, who has been
heralded as great English beauty.
1t may have been that the red wig of
The Eipbbergs was not becoming to her
brunette type, but certainly Mary Man
nering as a great beauty was a dIsap-
pointment last night She is slim and
girlish-looking. of medium height, and
the only striking feature of ner face con-
sists of pair of glorious dark eyes.
In compensation for not dazzling the
audience with her good looks Miss Man
nerIng proved her ability to act.
The part of Flavia does not contain
great possibilities, but such as they are
Miss Mannering made the most of them
and acted with a naturalness and pathos
which charmed her hearers. The third
act, with its long love scenes, which
dragged when presented by Isabel Irving,
aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and
when the curtain fell there was such a
persistent demand for a speech that Hack
EFT finally came 10 the footligh;s and ex-
pressed the thanks of the company for the
kindly reception.
The piece was as effectively staged as
ever and even to the smallest role was
well acted.

Yesterday was busy day with Revenue
Agen: Thrasher and his assistants as we'll
as with Special Agent SeweIl of Washing

Welburn's office, as announced eXcIu-
siveIy i'm THE CALL yesterday.
1t will require many weeks to com piete
the exporting of the books and orders
that lie piled up for ten or fifteen feet in
the larger Office of the department. This
work is OF the most tedious possible char
acter, as 1t will involve the careful COM
parison of every order with the CORE
spending entry in the books of the de-
partment. These orders, and there are
hundreds of thousands of them, are from
all parts of the district, and they involve
millions of dollars.
Those who knew Norton's habits best
are now beginning to tell stories as to his
habits in the clubrooms that he fire.

the past six months. 1t is said that his
betting was always heavy and nearly
always reckless. 1t is now known that
tables and mingled with heavy bettors,
often meeting men whose methods are
very sure and whose judgment is almost
always cool.
Ihe more the affairs of the Internal
revenue Office are studied the more posi-
tive Is the opinion that there is far too
much work for the staff on hand TO attend
to in sale and expeditions manner. The
Collector was necessarily driven to de-
pend greatly upon the word of his sub
ordinates, the only escape being the hir-
Ing of additional clerks, and for this there
is no fund. The office under the present
salary is far from being a sine cure, be-
cause the work is great and the respons.
biilties many. The system in vogue at
the cashiers desk is ancient and unbusi-
nesslike in every way.
There is an internal revenue manual for
the use of collectors and other revenue Of
hcsrs, issued by the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue. 1t lays down the laws
supposed to guide the various branches of
the service, but there seems to have been
no violation of that code in the office of
the Collector, but all the derelictions seem
to have been in spite of com pliance with
the letter of the law, most of them being
traceable to a short supply oil clerks and
the perpetuation Of bungling system at
the cashiers desk.
Agent SeweII will to-day approve the
accounting as made by Captain Thrasher,
after which the account will be sent to the
Collector of Internal Revenue and the
Government will then take steps for the
protection Of the loss by appealing to the
Collector tor restitution for the delin-
ouencies of his cashier Some of this OBJ
