How SHE DID IT.

The Buffalo Commercial tells a story
of little girl who was greatly disturbed
by the discovery that her brothers had
set traps to catch birds. Questioned as
to what she had done in the matter, she
replied: 81 prayed that the traps might
not catch the birds" Anything else?''
"Yes," she said; 81 prayed that God
would prevent the birds getting into the
traps, and then | went and kicked the
traps all to pieces"

Kirkman, president of the womans
department. 1t is the work of Miss
Enid Yandell. the sculptor, and among
the most talented of the young
artists in the country. The ar,
tistic beauty of the ngureen has at
tracted enthusiastic criticism from
those capable of judging, and Miss
fandell is meeting with the compi-
ments and attentions that are the just
tributes to genius.
Miss Yandell is Kentucky girl,
and at the Columbian exposition she
was first recognized as possessing ex-
ceptional talent, and her work dis
played there in tho sculptured figures
was the admiration of the sightseers
that made a study OF the manifold
beauties OF the wnman's building

that In such movement the Republican

WHO is TO BLAMEs

The election in Virginia last Tuesday
resulted in sweeping victory for De-

and for members of the legislature In
view of the divisions in the ranks of the
Republicans, and the almost utter alb
sence OF organization Oil the part of those
opposed to the errors and inequalities OF
Democratic rule, this might have been
expected.
a result Of uninterrupted control in
State and local affairs, bosssm and ring
rule fourished in the Democratic party
to degree which disguised honest and
independent voters everywhere to such an
extent that only organized efforts and
determined opposition to existing meth.
DDS seemed possible to overthrow such
INSCRIPTIONS combinations and bring
about healthful change IN the conduct

The injustice of the present election
machinery of the State had aroused the
determined opposition of "a large class of
intelligent and fair-minded men who saw
in the unfairness of such practices Sc
rious danger to the well-being of all
classes of the people.

During the past two seasons consider
able interest has been displayed on the
part of the public in the production of
plays that have been picturesque as to
costume effects ssand with n lot of ro-
nance surrounding the leading charac-
ter. Such plays as "Under the Red
Robe, " Rosemary and 1.-The Prisoner
of Ienda" have been liked and apprecia-
ted AS much by older theatre. goers as by
the younger generation, and to use pop
ular expression, ''There is nothing new
under the sum-" the stage world seems to
be revolving in it's career to that point
which at one time was famous for what
is now known as the costume drama
NJ Lackaye thoroughly realizes and
fully appreciates this evident trend in
the public taste for a change from the
more modern society play to that of the
romantic and costume period of the
drama. 1t is over these plays that our
grandfaJhers have dwelled upon in relat-
ing what they have remembered and liked
best in the drama. So it is that the
younger generation is now falling into
their. footsteps, and shows n stronger ap-
probation of these plays than of any 9TH
ers. Mr.. Lackaye hopes that in present
ing 1.-THE Royal Secret he will meet
with cordial response on the part of the
theat-e-Goers. The period in French his
tory in which Louis XIV figures conspic-
uously has been extensively drawn upon
by the authors of Mr.. Lackaye's play,
and there will be found situations of
thrilling dramatic interest as we'll as
those in which the romance of love plays,
perhaps, the most important part. "The
