The play. Last Might.


The talented tragedian, M. Louis
James, appeared at the Duncan opera
house, On last night.
The performance required ten changes Of
scene, and for each Of these q complete
scenic outfit was provided. They were ali
handsome and new, having been painted to
order for Mr.. James, some Of them being
truly magnificent. OF these, the most
striking are the Via Scara OF Rome, the
hall OF columns In the Pr@tor's palace, the
Roman Campagnn, the tapestried chamber
OF Crassus, the view Of the gulf OF Naples
with smoky vesuvius in the distance and
above all the arena scene OF the great
Roman amphitheatre. Nothing equal to
the latter has ever been seen here In the
past. 1t 10 the most illusiye bit Of stage
effect ever devised by human ingenuity
and carried out by skilled painters. 1t Is
on the plan of the panoramas, only On a
much more elaborate scale. The effect
showed the whole interior Of the huge oval
arena, the auditorium Of the theatre COM
pleting the circle. The distances are
handled with such consummate skill as to
give the impression Of depth. Of stage
wholly out Of proportion with the reality.
One would almost swear to stage 200 feet
deep, so great is the illusion. It Is here
that the heroic Thracian meets and con-
quers the greatest gIadiators Of Rome. A
more realistic picture Of these atrocious
sports Of ancient Rome could not be asked

ORGANIZED LABOR.
II Brings About an August JuaIcisi bedy
Across the Water.

LONDON, England. March 24.---It
has been reserved for trade union
and a question Of organized labor to
bring about the Temporary organiza-
tion of the most august judicial tribu-
nal that ever sat In this country to hear
argument and deliver judgment, even
upon question relating 10 the crown.
This tribunal, as constituted by Lord
Chief Justice Russell, will assemble
early next month, and will consist Of
the house Of lords, the bench Of the
lord justices OF appeal, headed by the
lord chief justice, and eight judges Of
the queens bench.
The plaintiffs in the case are num-
Der OF non-union boiler makers, while
the defendant il the national boiler
makers union. A year ago. the union
demanded Of the Glengall iron works
that 1t should discharge all the nom
union men Ia Its employ, and threaten
ed In case Of refusal to Withdraw all
the union men from the works. The
Glengall company having important
time contracts to fulfill, complied with
the wishes Of the union, and the nom
union men we're thrown out. There
upon, they brought suit against the
union and recovered damages for
S25. 900. The judgment was sustained
10 court after court until It reached the
house OF lords. Here it was again
argued, but their lordships, in view of
the importance Of the issue, were
unable to reach decision, and there
fore decided that the question should
be re-argued, and that the lord justices
of appeal and the judges OF the queens
bench should take part In the hearing
and IN formulating decision.

SOMETHING NEW.
1t Can BE Made as Beautiful as We
Choose.

1t Can BE Made as Beautiful as We
Choose.
"a happy New Yeari" How easily
and quickly it slips from the tongue OF
the pen, yet what a world of sugges-
ton these few words contain. With
many other phrases that have come tc
be part of our mental furniture is it not
well sometimes to stop and analyze
these words; if, perchance, we may dis
cover under their familiar aspect some
angelic message yelled from our dim
visions. For oftener, and in more ways
than we perhaps imagine, do we enter
tain angels unaware.
And here we have first, something
new, something fresh and unspoiled
something that can be made as beauti
full as we choose. A new year to dc
with as we will for good or i'll, year
whose outward beauty of sparkling
frost and dreamy snow, of leaf and bud
and tree, of sunset, star and dewy morn
iEg, may sink into our souls and help
reveal the poetry innwhat seems mere
" the dull round ofduty.
What is more fascinating to contem-
plate as a possession than thing en-
tlrely new, really fresh-not something
made over, or pieced out, but whole, and
to be used at ones own discretion? 1t
is a great blessing to have things seem
new, to have the poets vision that sees
into the heart of thing, not resting
content with the mere surface.
THE poet has the child's heart in his breast
And sees all new. what oftenest he has
viewed
He sees as at the first"
ard possibly we could desire few great
er boons at the hand of the New Year
than the growth of this faculty in our
selves. That we may have the hearing
ear and the understanding heart to near
and to comprehend Alright the messages
that each new day in the year brings to
US should be our earnest prayer,
..For upon them all His name is written.
In them all His secret lies EMBODIED.
Through them all His love speaks in
cadence
Soft as mothers song beside the cradle
and looking in all things for His truths,
which like His mercies, are new every
morning and fresh every evening" the
duIIest days may take on radiances
which shall blend into a rainbow of
hope over the whole year.-Mary Lowe
Dickinson, in Washington Home Mag.
