At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening Charles Frohman's company,
headed by Mrs. Leslie Carter. will pre-
sent the latest of Belasco'S successes,
The Heart of Maryland" The piece
is a semi military drama, and as such
is conceded to be the strongest of its
class yet staged. The company carries
its own scenery, and there is such a
quantity of it and so much stage work
in mounting it, that Manager Henry
declares no piece has ever been brought
to this city requiring so much time and
labor 20 stage with the solitary ex-
ceptfon Of Cleopatra" as played by
Fanny Davenport a few years ago in
Sacramento. Stage carpenters have
been at work since Friday last prepar-
ing tho stage for the play. Mrs. Car
ter's success has been such in this
drama. that the claim is made for her
that she is the greatest of American
actresses Of the day. Of that the peo-
pie viii have opportunity to Judge for
themselves tonight and tomorrow
night. The company is the same that
presented it originally in New York,
and recently for several weeks at the
Baldwin Theater in San Francisco.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was a good first night audience
at the Clunie last evening. Some nifty
mem bers of the bench and bar attend
ed the representation of Mr.. BRUSHES
idyll THE Estate Of Hannibal Howe"
as the guests of General Clunie. The
play was we'll staged and well played.
Mr.. Bacon's Amos Howe is O. creation,
a part that he has made all his own,
and in which he has achieved great
success. His support was good through
out last night the Lucille of Miss Per-
kins being especially a charming per-
sonatiOn; in fact this young woman fits
into the part as if it had been written
for her and presents 1t with the mod
esty, grace and feeling called for by
the text. Mr.. BRUSHES play is along
homely lines. It assumes no literary
pretensions, because it deals with very
commonplace people, homely folk and
the action is purposefully upon very
ordinary everyday level There is
here and there touch of
grief, deep and pitiful, but for
the most part there is that humor
that flows with content and with peace
of mind and clean conscience. The col
ors are all soft tints. There is neither
the flame-red of passion nor the somber
of unspeakable woe. There is no great
crime, no taking of human life, no sem
sational striving. In short, it is a
simple story, told in a simple, an un-
affected way, depending as much or
more for entertainment upon stage pic
lures, realistic surroundings and simple
| sentiment, as upon the plot and its
unravelEng. Mr.. Bacon was greatly
aided last night in working out the eff
| fectiveress of the pretty pictures of the
authors fancy by the singing of a fine
| quartet composed Of r. T. and Ed.
! Cohn and Messrs. Croker and Kfdder.
In fact the curtain falls upon no spoken
word but upon rural silence and a love-
| " sunset while in the distance the
| tones of mems voices are heard sing
| ing an old-time melody of bOyhood's
days and the memories of the old home
| of youth. Recollection of the success
of Mr. Burress in the part of the Of
| flee boy, Fat" had created the fear
| that no one would be found to do it
| quite as we'll But Mr.. O'Brien lifted
apprehension from the managerial
heart. and made Fat a capital gro
tesque character, as good as that of
Mr.. Burriss, and in the opinion of not
a few. better. 1.-THE Estate of Hanni-
| bal Howe" viii be repeated tonight.

Points Plainly Put
About White Shirts.

Our White Dress Shirts have a
reputation second to none. There
may be somewhere other shirts as
good; certainly there are none
better.
Certain features, among them
the following, are worthy of note:
In the first place the range OF
neck measures and sleeve lengths
is always complete. We can meet
any demand for the unusual as
we'll as regular sizes.
The shirts are perfect fitting, the
workmanship the best, the bosoms
and cuff bands of quality of linen
best suited for the purpose The
neckbands are split to prevent the
collar button chatting the neck.
The Shirts at 81 % are the best it is
pCssible to obtain. They cannot be
improved upon. Nothing but the best
materials and best work gets into
them.
The Shirts at 75c and 81 are equally
we'll made. having all the essential
features of the higher price shirt, but
the materials are not so fine.
All of the above shirts are made to
our special order. We can fit tall men,
short men. stout men or slim men.
Neck measures II to IS inches. Sleeve
lengths 30 to 80 inches.
If any one insists on shirts to order
we can furnish them. and upon advan-
tageOuS terms.

such primary elections is not to be set

Election Commissioners are to select
the names of those electors who are to

A jury, or Judge sitting as a jury,
is not concluded by the testimony Of
experts or their estimates of value. The
province of such testimony is only to
aid a jury in coming to a conclusion;
and it does not exclude the considera-
ton of any other evidence which is
pertinent to the issue involved.
Those following a particular vocation,
although it may be a learned or scien-
tific one cannot adopt a scheme for the
valuation of their own services which
will bind all others; and, while a jury
should consider the testimony of ex-
perts in such cases, still they must ex-
ercise their own judgment in the end.
and in order to do so with full knowl-
edge of the subject, they should have
before them all the facts tending to

riding that all old riders, and a good many
new ones, must have noticed. That is the
way moderately proficient rider will carry
on conversation with some one behind him
without really knowing who that some one

backward, and so he talks right on in the

up the Dodge street hill. There isn't much
of hill on Dodge street, but slight as it is

the wheelman IN question, who was riding
at leisurely rate, was a stout lady, mounted
on new bike. Halfway up the incline
the wheelman was astonished to hear her
call out:
Coming, dear"
The wheelman didn't answer. He felt
sure the inquiry couldn't be to him, and he
"All out of breath, dear?" she called
again.
And again the wheelman made no reply.
Don't be discouraged" she cheerily
shouted. You'll get there by and by, dear

The wheelman thought so too, but he
made no mention of the fact.
Does it tire oor little armies so muchee"
continued the stout lady.
That was too much for the wheelman. He
put on steam and passed the lady. As he
whirled by she caught sight of his smiling
countenance.
"Oh, / beg your pardon" she cried, and
narrowly averted a tumble
When the wheelman had gone a little
further he looked back over his shoulder
and saw a lank young fellow, with fuzzy
little side whiskers, toiling YEARLY up the
hill.
And he feels pretty sure that was "dear-

Some folks are so humble that when they
get to Heaven they will go way around and
knock at the back door.
When a man gets excited in an argument
he always says it does make him mad to
hear people talk so foolish.
Nothing makes a girl so mad as for man
to pretend not to notice when she has liked
her hair up the way he likes it.
When a man goes out to shoot a bear anc
ends no by picking huckleberries. he is very
apt to tell it the other way round
A man will GO to the devil for woman,
and a woman will go to the devil for a man
If she can't get one from somebody else.
When a man has to work nara 70 sSs
so good natured he let's people impose on

The Canopied Ceiling.

The canopied ceiling has been marred by
Jandal hands and its stars are eclipsed by
whItewash. The time was when the cell
ing seemed like summer night, a blending
of starlight and the light of other days. A
merchant prince in the days which old New
Workers know so well had built the house
His bedroom was finished with this won
derful ceiling, which arched up and dropped
at the corners like the great sheet which
the apostle saw. An Italian artist came
over the sea especially to paint this won
drous ceiling. He mixed his colors while
his minds eye saw a night upon the YES
uvian bay. The color was of the blue of
summers day washed with darkness. The
stars shOne from out the field of blue like
giittering clasps of the trailing garments of
the night. Beneath such a sky a man might
find repose. Then the evil day came to the
house of the canOpied ceiling. The neigh
borhoOd became no longer fashionable and
the house became the home of tenement
jewellers. The new tenants splashed the
canopied ceiling with whitewash and blotted
out the stars forever.-N. Y. Telegram.
