decision has been handed down by
Judge G. d. Clark of the United
States District Court in the case of
Gertrude 81. Whiteside VS.. the I'm
proved Order of Heptasophs, which
materially affects all fraternal insur-
ance orders in America. In overrul.

in suit for recovery of benefit GER
tlf1cate, payment of which was denied
for the reason that the assessments

ing as ordinary life companies and
that local financial officer of a lodge

ing and will cause special attention
at all supreme meetings.

matinee on the latter day. This com
pany which is a very large one. and
comes we'll endorsed will present IL.
Grafton Donnelly's successful farce
comedy, entitled, "a Pair Of Jacks"
The story Of the play deals with the
troubles OF a "Dr. Jack" and Judge
Jack" who are continually mistaken for
each other, on account of their close re-
semblance. 1t presents a continuous
string of funny situations, and the dia-
logue is invariably bright and witty.
A very strong olio of specialties is in
troduced. including novel dances, en-
titled, 1.-THE Dance Of the Baccahantes,"
executed by eight members of the COM
pany, and rendered very attractive by
the aid OF calcium and electrical effects;
and an Oriental dance.
The Incidental music is taken from all
the late operas, including "El CAPTAIN"
1.-THE Gelsha," Brian Boru," and 1.-The
Mandarin"
Miss Carrie Frances, a member Of the
'Pair Of Jacks" company, enjoys the re-
putation Of being the most beautiful
woman on the farce-comedy stage. Next

Russell, in a new comic opera. which Is
being written especially for these two
popular stars.
On Saturday, miss Philadelphia" viii

ming performances. So great was the
success of this play when it was pro-
duced at the beginning Of the season
that Manager Leath offered special in
ducemcnts to the company to play a re-
turn date.
When miss Philadelphia" was given
here early in November 1t caught the
popular fancy with It's light frivolities. its
pretty music, and its really clever dia-
logue. 1t has been one Of the pronounced
hits OF the season. and drew crowded
hoLses.
The travesty Is written in the happfest
vein by Edgar Smith and Herman Perlet,
and serves TO introduce a great many
purely original features. The scenery,
which Is very complete and beautiful,
shows familiar localities In Philadelphia
and the vicinity. The costumes are elabo-
rate and the electrical effects superb.
In principals the company Is very
strongly composed, and the minor men,
bers the dancers, the chorus. and the
throng of auxiliares all show in their
degrees the high general capacity that
mark the performance. a novel feature
OF the production is the ladies' symphony
Orchestra. composed of thirteen musi-
clans, who play the incidental music.
