THINGS THEATRICAL.

The masterpiece of Shiller and Wing
field. Mary Stuart was offered last
night at the National, Interpreted by
Madame Modjeska and her able support
ing company. For fully five decades the
play has divided with those of Shakes
peare the we'll won encomiums of critical
theatergoers, yet loses naught of its his
toric romance with the passing of years.
1t is powerful, possible and replete with
human nature, in the drawing of which
the German bard is unsurpassed.
When the personality of Modjeska is
considered. it must with all justice be
said that her reading of the title role and
her vivid delineation of the unfortunate
Scottish queen is little less than wonder
full. She is always regal, even in her
most emotional scenes, avoiding the very
semblance of ranting. The Polish actress
can be pathetic without snivelling, force
full without raging. and imperial without
stilted dignity With all that makes a
player great was the character of Mary
adorned last evening. The dramatic
climaxes were so gradually reached that
not until the audience had been complete
fact that it was art and not nature which
interested them. The powerful invective
at the end of the third act afforded scope
for one of the best pieces of work seen
in the city for, many day.
Few acknowledged stars condescend to
carry with them a supporting company
of such merit as has that of Modjeska.
Anna Proctor was Queen Elizabeth,
proud, naughty, fickfe and vacillating
and with her opposite shared the ap-
plause of the performance. Lester Loner-
gan seemed crafty in his quieter scenes
and faithful in his emotional ones. while

and by folk who are supposed to be crlti-

expressing it. Despite this fact, no one
who pretends to keep up with presenta-
tions of the day and to realize the posi-
bilities of the opera could have closed his

whole, in no way compared with that
given at popular prices two Summers ago
by the Castle Square Company. There
was notable lack of stage management
which caused numbers of inexcusabe
waits between scenes, and certain awk-
wardness on the part of individuals in the
cast that showed lamentable lack of re-
hearsal-could lack of rehearsal be blamed
for the fondness the leading people ex-
| hibited for retreating rom the stage
hastily every time the curtain rose and
coming uack just as it descended. House
scenery was mainly used in the produc-
tion, too, together with the cheapest of
costumes and a, limited number of proper
ing lances of different lengths and the
gypsies to using only two anvils in the
celebrated opening chorus of the second
act This seli-same lot of fellows-for

How It Feels to Be Shot.

Lieutenant Hains, commanding an artillery platoon under Captain Potts in Porto Rico, was wounded on August l2. the day the war ended. Talking with his brother. Captain T. Rankin Hains, he said:
 '.On the morning of the 18th Captain Potts was ordered to proceed up the San Juan road with five guns for the purpose of smelling the Spanish trenches at Asomanta.
 ''Soon after we slaekened our fire the enemy took heart and began to re- turn. General James H. Wilson sent me with gur up the road in advance of the rest to try and enfilade the enemy. 1 went up the road on horse back about 200 yards and found a com pany of Wisconsin infantry on bend of the road which formed a cover from the Spanish fire. passed beyond them, and the gun was unlimbered in the next turn of the road in a some what sheltered position. My men lay down by the roadside to escape the oDaulSu VOllcy IAO On1~uoCA V sA~ a storm with each volley.
 II told the sergeant we would have a try at them for luck. anyhow. As could see no Spaniards nearer than 500 or 600 yards, had him run the gun out of the road a little. We had no sooner done this than the fire sud- denly increased flereely. % the gun could not be served. We hauled the gun back to the next turn in the road. where we were joined by the second gun, still unable to do any great execu- tion owing to the sheltered position of the enemy. The fire continued with fierceness. but from our new position we brought house into view. had the gun instantly trained upon 1t. as saw several Spaniards outside of 1t. and felt certain it was not empty. The very first shot landed fairly upon the side of the house and, penetrating, burst inside. sending things flying. The enemy broke cover and turned to the sergeant, saying: That was good one: now give them -.
 "As I turned something struck me through the body. knew I was badly hit, but felt no pain after the first shock. It was like being struck over the shoulders with a club. passed my hand to my side and brought ii away full of blood.
 The sergeant saw me and ran tc my side They've got me this time. | said. He put his arm around me and led me away and let me lie down" |"

printed by the Daily Graphic per week is, therefore, five editions of 480 copies, or 24OO copies, and one editioa (Sun- day morning) of 672 copies, making total daily circulculation during the week of 3,072 copies as against 2,569 copies of the daily and weekly Commercial combined.
 In this estimate is not included the Graphic's semi-weekly or twice a-week edition. We started out simply to show that the Daily Graphic's circulation is larger than that of the daily and weekly Com merclal combined, and have sub mitted the figures to show that the Daily Graphic prints 503 papers every week more than the daily and week ly Commercial combined.
 The next time the Commercial boasts of its circulation it should be thoroughly assured that those against whom it's boasts are made are not thoroughly advised of the Commercial exact circulation fig ures.
