THE HOUSE PARTY.

What is more fascinating than good
male quartette singing-not the stiff
necked choral work which you sometimes
hear, but the real college jingle with
"tamped' parts and perhaps ''coon
chord" now and then just to add color,
as it were. There arc some 'clever bits''
of this kind in the House Party, SO they
say. There is Kipling's 'Mandalay' the
unpublished version of which is so popu-
which made such a hit at Keiths last
week, fully as catchy and much more
musical than some of those which have
recently been the rage, but are now SO
done to death that western town actual
ly prohibited them being played or sung
on the streets. Through all this music
and in fact, the entire play, you will
find the atmosphere of co llege life, which
is always SO attractive whether to the
prep" the college man, the graduate,
the fond papa and mamma, and last, but
not least, the college mans sister.

mlrable. Miss Davenport's representation
is a most artistic achievement For years
it has held it's place as one of the
CONGRATULATIONS of the stage. In Fedora
she is strong, fierce and authoritative
throughout and yet entirely feminine
and sympathetic. From her entrance at
the house of Vladimir, impatient, driven
wild almost at her lovers absence, to the
final moment when the poison has done
its work and she falls lifeless corpse.
she holds her AUDIENCES attention with
great tenaoity. The great scene in the
third act with Ipanoff. when he tells the
story of the death Of Vladimir and the
causesssth led to it was wonderfully well
done. Hope, fear, love, hate and terror,
all the emotions in fact, were wildly
portrayed in every movement, in her ever
varying play of feature, and when, at
last, on her knees, she begs and prays
Loris to stay, realism can no farther go.
In the second act she was also very
strong. Miss Dayenport's costumes
throughout the play were of great ele-
gance, and her diamonds were very
brilliant.
Mr. McDowells Ipanof was a very
forceful representation. He has a fine
figure, attractive face, is ge1tlemanly,
possesses a strong, rich musical voice. In
the scene in the third act he was at his
best, helping materially in the effective
ness of the situations and the dialogue.

The play was staged with much taste.

and third acts.

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
Several Offenders Before Judge Robin
son.


In the Municipal court yesterday,
Charles F. Montmorency, who has been
in the employ OF John Carrigan, the
tailor, charged with the larceny of
a coat valued at sl2, from Herbert Mute,
was brought before Judge Robinson.
MIR. Mute had left the coat in the tailor
shop to be repaired, and Montmorency,
who admitted that he had been drinking,
took it and sold it in a pawn shop on
Fore street. The prisoner, through his
attorney, e. w. Hunt, waived reading
OF the warrant, and entered plea of
guilty. Mr.. Hunt made an application
for q suspension of sentence and Mr..
Carrigan also stated his Willingness to
have the case dropped in this manner.
Mr.. Carrigan stated that the respondent
had been q good friend of his, but that
lately liquor had got the best of him and
to this was attributed his downfall.
Judge Robinson remarked that the ooun-
ty had been to some expense following
up this case, and he hardly thought the
community would be served justly by
suspending the sentence. He ordered
Montmorency to pay $40 and the costs

MUSIC AND DRAMR
FANNY DAVENPORT.

1t was a bitter night, last night, the
most trying this year, but very large
audience for Christmas eve greeted
Fanny Davenport. the great actress and
her excellent company at The jefferson.
Several Of the boxes contained box
parties, and a large proportion OF the au-
dience in orchestra and balcony were in
evening dress. 1t was pretty cool for
many but the chilly breeze that swept
out from the stage didn't freeze their en-
thusiasm in the slightest and the applause
was strong and frequent.
The story Of Fedora is intense and not
lacking in the tragic. The Princess Fe-
dora is in love with Count Vladimir.
The Connt is fatally wounded in little
house en- the outskirts of St. Petersburg.
The author of the crime is unknown.
The police cannot find him. The count is
brought to his house and almost in the
presence of Fedora, dies without mention
ING the name of his assailant. 1t is only
known that two weeks previously man
visited the counts lodgings, purloined a
letter from his desk and escaped. The
porter recalls his nalne as Ipanoff.
Strange to say the police fail to arrest
IpanoT. He escapes to Paris. There
Fedora, who believes him the murderer of
her aflianced, follows him, determined to
wrest the proof of his guilt from him.
Loris Ipanoff falls in love with Fedora
and admits he killed Vladimir. Then
Fedora betrays him to the police and a
guard is set to arrest him when he comes
from her house at midnight During that
designation he explains why he killed
Vladimir. It was because he haa been
itimate with his wife. Then Fedora,
Mortified at what she has done, pleads
with him and begs him not to leave her,
fearing he will go to his death. lie stays.
Finally she fears she has lost him and
poisons herself. She dies, but Loris
Ipanof lives.
In dramatic force and intensity Fedora
stands out among plays. In directness
and oIearness of instruction it is adj

4 TURKISH PRA YER.

What better index of a nations
character can be furnished than the
one presented in it's supplications?
The instinct of worship is divinely
| implanted in every human breast.
and there is no race of people, how
ever savage or brutal, that does not
recognize this inherent principle, and
that does not instinctively worship
something. Even the murderous
Turks are intensely religious, as the
following prayer offered up by these
remorseless prosecutors of the Chris
tians plainly evinces:
OLcrd of all creatures! o Allah!
destroy thine enemies; the enemies
of religion; 0 Allah! make their
children orphans and dehle their
bodies; cause their feet to slip; give
them and their families, their house
hold and their women, their children
and their relations by marriage, their
brethren and their friends, their pos
sessions and their race, their wealth
and their lands, as booty to the Mos
lems-O Lord of all creatures!
This prayer is not only sanctioned
by the Moslem government, but every
Turkish soldier is required to pros
trate himself in the dust at least five
times a day with this outrageous
petition upon his lips. Is it surpris
ing, then, in view OF the religious
frenzy by which the Turks are actuat
ed, that scores and hundreds Of
Christians should fall under the brutal
knife of the Sultan, and that Crete
should refuse longer to. endure the
yoke Of bondage which such ma
ton puts upon her?
