Andrew Mack comes to Englshs this
evening to present for the first time i'm this
city his new and successful play. 1.-THE
Ragged Earl" Mr.. Mack is gradually
achieving his ambition to raise the quality
of the Irish stage character SO that 1t will
more truly represent the genial humor, the
bravery, the generosity and love of song
which are among the real elements of the
found In the romantic. adventurous history
of ancient ireland. A character of this
caliber has fallen to him in THE Ragged
Earl and he is said to play it in excellent
fashion.
The first appearance of the Grand Stock
Company in comedy will be tonight at that
theater, when "All the Comforts of Home .
William Gillette's delightful comedy will be
given. Aside from a touch of sentiment in
one of the love affairs that runs through the
play, 1t Is wholly devoted to mirth. 1t was
last seen here early in March, 1892, which. in
fact, was its only engagement in this city.
The comedy is, therefore, as new TO Indian

costumed. "All the Comforts of Home will

SERMON TO THE DELEGATES.
Members of Prison Congress Attend
Sunday Morning Services.

At the First Presbyterian Church yester-
day morning the delegates to the Prison
Congress listened to sermon by the pastor
Rev. NJ. l.. Haines who spoke from the
text found in Hebrews xiii, 3: Remember
them that are in bonds as bound with
them" The subject of the discourse was
"Society's Attitude Toward the Downmost
Man" In his opening remarks DR.. Haines
spoke of the great benefit to the State in
the coming of the members of the National
Prison Association. He said the people of
this commonwealth are in position lust
now to appreciate better than ever the in
fiuence of the Prison Congress. The pastor
quoted the words of a city official uttered
last year. that I'VE are in our mere infancy
in reformatory work. But the infant has
gained strength enough to stand on it's feet
He has taken a few decided steps and those
steps have been in the right direction

The CounciI Meeting Tonight.

Tonight the Council meets. No ordi-

it is said President Mahoney was asked
Saturday night if the Council would under

to authorize the park purchase.
rs there anything wrong with it?" he
asked with an assumption of complete
ignorance of facts that have been pub
lished.
YES, the considerations were omitted -
replied the reporter.
Us that so? From what parts were they
omitted?"
Mr.. Mahoney was informed that his in
terrogator could not tell him off hand, but
could point out the omissions in the ordi-
nance, or that Deputy City Clerk Tamm
could point them out.
Does Mr. Tamm know about them?'
asked Mr.. Mahoney, with one of his smiles
that are intended to be crafty. The en-
igmatical Mr.. Mahoney, who professed ig-
norance of what the papers had published
on this score, or who feared to be inter-
viewed. had no direct reply to make on the
park ordinance proposition. City Controller
Johnson has assumed that the ordinance
is ''all right" and 1t is therefore not at
all probable that the Council will attempt to
rectify its mistake. make the ordinance
valid and attempt to clear the clouded title
to the "Windward Forests up in the north
east corner of the county.

But it never was There was too much
political pressure brought to bear Some

for an investigation grew so strong that a
