SO sad Why I no sooner have one of
them buried than there is another one
dead!" The sadness notwithstanding,
each succeeding generation of young
folks reads the book, and, having read
1t they become anxious to see the play,
therefore 1t would seem as if the play as
well as the book. would be perennial in
public favor.

derfully good production of Uncle Toms
Cabin, with q wealth of scenic effect
and such a number of attractive special
ties as made one almost feel like a thief
in that he had paid no more for admis-
sion. 1t has come to be generally un-
dersbood that when a new attraction Is
billed at this pretty little theater all
will be done that money, talent and
taste combined can do to make the pro-
duction correct in every particular.
How the children did enjoy Uncle
Toms Cabin. How sorry they felt for
Uncle Tom; how much they admired Eva
and how much they deplored her death
how pleased they were with the songs
and dances; how indignant they were
with Legree, was attested by the tears

There is certain homely pathos about
plays OF the Old Homestead type that
will always make them favorites with
Americans, who, together with vola-
tility Of nature, which makes them in
a measure contemptuous Of all fixed
standards, are yet capable of deep feel
ing in their domestic relations. Being
possessed of a penetrability, or an in
tuition rather. which is quick to detect
the shams of life and hold them UP to
ridicule, they have at the same time q
ready sympathy for the true, the earn
est and the sincere among their breth-
rem, and that, quite apart from the fact,
as to whether the object of that sympa-
thy occupies the noble mansion or the
humble farm house.
There Is true ring about Josh Whit
comb, Aunt Matilda and their friends,
a homely SAVIOR of the Maine homestead,
as II were, which is peculiarly appetiz-
ing to the theater-goer, tired of the ex-
ploitation of the abtruse sorrows Of the
blase mind, the pomp of society drama,
the evolutions of the ballet or the jests
of the buffoon, which forms our stage at
fractions for the most part in these days.
After series of performances such as
the latter, the Old Homestead comes
as an invigorating breath from the pine
forests of New England, and sweeps be-
fore 1t the cobwebs of ennui and bore
dom clustering in the poor human brain,
tired of the pageant of life, recalling as

Hayes, Lytton and Hayes have clev-
er little sketch entitled French Mar
riage. in which they have won the ap-
probation of Orpheum audiences. Those
who are ever on the alert for something
spicy anticipated great things from the
title of this little comedy, but their
hopes were doomed to disappointment,
as the dialogue of the piece is entirely
innocuous in its construction and de-
pends solely on the comedy talent of the
trio presenting it for its fun-maklng
qualities.
Uncle Toms Cabin, what strong mem
cries must cluster around thy weather
beaten roof to have saved thee from OBJ
livion in an age when of fame it may be
truly said "'Tis the twink of an eye.
'Tis the bate of a BREATH" And yet
Uncle Toms Cabin, after all these years
is still a public favorite. When, how
ever, one comes to consider the circum-
stances under which it was written. and
the great national crisis which it in no
small measure helped to precipitate
the throes of anxiety in which our ma

FIESTA FANCY DRESS BALL
The Opening Event Of the Great Annual
Festivities
The Committee Has Formulated Plans
The Queens First Appearance-Va-
rious Details Arranged

The local committee of La Fiesta has
formulated a general plan of that open
ing event of the carnival that will
eclipse in splendor and novelty any of
the previous balls given under the au-
spices of the Fiesta. AS the queen will
make her first public appearance on that
occasion, it is intended that she shall
be introduced to her loyal subjects in
a most gorgeous manner. Her majesty,
surrounded by her ladies of honor,
prime ministers and pages, will appear
in rich, fancy court costumes, and the
Royal Lancers, the organization that
contributed SO much last year to the
luster of the queens household, will also
be in attendance.
Hazards Pavilion, that has been Sc
cured for all the indoor events of La
Fiesta, will be most artistically deco
rated with fresh flowers and drapings.
Two orchestras will be engaged, one to
provide music for the promenade con-
cert and another to furnish the dance
music.
The ball committee has positively de-
cided that no masks or dominoes shall
be admitted on the floor, but that only
those dressed in faney costumes shall
have access to the main floor. Even the
usual full dress will be barred from the
privileges of the dancing part.
Admission to the ball can only be
| had by invitation and the price of tick
cts has been placed at S. for lady and
gentleman, including supper.
Several novel and unique features will
be introduced, as the committee is de-
termined to make the event not only a
worthy introduction OF the queen, but
one that in point of pomp and splendor
will far excel any ball ever given in Cal
| ifOrnia.
Among the many innovations will be
a minuet, in which, sixteen or twenty
young society ladies' will participate.
After the grand march is finished the
! floor will be cleared and amidst the
glittering rays Of colored calcium lights
| the young ladies will perform the state
| iy and graceful movements of the min
| uet.
There are now sixteen floats under
construction at Washington gardens,
| and Mr.. Robinson, the artist, has already
| shown that from a spectacular stand
point they will create greater admira-
| tion than his work in this respect last
year.
The executive committee at its meet
| ing yesterday afternoon decided to in
vite bids to furnish carriages for the
| queen and her court for all services dur
| ing Fiesta week.
! 1t is the intention of the committee
| to send an invitation to all secret soci-
! cites, especially those who have uni.
| formed lodges to participate in the day
| parade.

| decorations committee and L. j. c.

seemed impossible to the ardent young

One of the truest characterizatlons in

OF Mr. j. f. Callahan. A truer Connaught
man in every particular than the one
presented by Mr.. Callahan has never
been seen on any stage. The mistake
made by many Irish impersonators is
that they do not seem to take into ac-
count the fact that each of the four prov
inces Of the Emerald Isle has it's own
marked characteristics, as we'll as It's
own particular brogue, so that to the in
1tiated 1t is very easy to determine from

'the County Mayo, God help us!" An
ignorance of these facts often leads the
stage Irishman into the jumbling to-
gether Of Connaught accent with a
North of Ireland demeanor, or a set of
Dublin characteristics with the meliflu
Gus brogue of Cork. which must render
such performance highly ridiculous TO
an Irishrnan. Mr. Callahan makes no
such mistakes. He isi the Conryaught
man "all out" and by his consistent
work In the limited opportunity afforded
him cortrives to make his impersonation
one of the strongest character bits in the
play.
One Of the most enjoyable features Of
the Old Homestead was the singing of
the double quartette which was COM
posed of eight excellent male voices.

music than the harmonious blending of
the voices in male quartette, and An

The bill at the Orpheum last week was
an unusually popular one. There was
something of interest to every one in
the performance. The children enjoyed
the acrobatic performances and the dogs
which the Bostons have so skillfully
trained; while the children of larger
growth were entertained by the fun
making and highly spiced comedy work
of A Fair Exchange, A French Marriage,
the eccentric comedy work of Mr.. Wayne
and the singing of Miss Caldwell. Ro-
mandy, too, recognizing the need felt
at times by poor humanity of descend
ing from the sublime to the popular,
gave at intervals such a rendition of
the airs of the day as to warm the
hearts of his hearers and keep them in
a good humor during the entire perfor-
nance.

songs and her dainty dresses, which lat

things; so Frenchy, don't you know. and
such good style!" Truly the pink and
blue creation worn by Miss Caldwell
during the past week is handsome enough
to satisfy the most exacting feminine
fancy.

wherein this clever acrobat, as it were,

body to revolve through the loop thus
made with great rapidity. Busch's
makeup is quite unique, giving him the

IF SILVER KEEPS FILLING.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. IA special to the
Globe-Democrat from Mexico City,
Mex, says: The continual fall in sill
yer and the corresponding rise in ex-
change have reached fi2e point where
this country is brought face to face
with what may be a serious crisis. No
sophistry can hide the real condition
of affairs here. 1t is all very well to
say that Mexico can live within her
self, and can raise on a silver basis nat
ural products that she can sell abroad
on gold one. This would be perfect
ly satisfactory If there was such an
enormous increase of wealth resulting
from such conditions that it could bear
high rate Of taxation, in order that
the government might be able to meet
its debt abroad. Mex can bonds are
generally held in London. Their in
terest has to be met in gold, and at
this rate of exchange that interest
is excessive, and it is only a matter
OF time, unless there is a favorable
change in silver, when this republic will
be unable to stand it.
Repudiation has an ugly sound, but
something very much Ike it must un-
