house was well afilled, and the audience
appreciative to The last degree. Besides
the applause which invariably follows
the strong situations, in the piece, there
were many littlesrippIes of laughter and
motions of different membranes after
particularly telling points in the, dialogue.

Nationalist Reign of Error"

If the old adage associating laughter
with increased ayerdupois has any latter
day application, the exits at the National
Theater will have TO be widened this
week. The occasion, for this change of
plan is the presentation of John j. Nc
Nally,s --latest and funniest farce"
concoction of songs, dances, and jokes
mostly jokes-known as "A Reign of Err
ror and if last nights reception is any
indication everybody in the company,
from the Rogers Brothers. Georgia Caine,
Maude Raymond, and Ada Lewis. down
to the property man and the stage car
penter is to be Congratulated in advance
on a very successful week in Washing
ton.
Those of yesterdays audience who re-
membered The Widow Jones" knew
what to expect of a farce by the same
author. What they anticipated was a
medley of girls with good figures ami
fair voices, men with good voices and
fair figures and songs, some with lots
of point and others with lots of melody
The reality was only a trife different
though more Legitimate. 1t was impos-
sible to follow the plot. Of course, and so
no one tried-having a much easier time
with the humor of the piece. But there
was a plot, nevertheless-one that car
rieG the performers first out to sea in u
private yacht, then back to New York
City. and finally down to Brazil, in search
of fortune that no one seemed to want.
The Rogers have a part in all this as
the pretended heirs to half the money in
South America, but it isn't formidable
enough to interfere with the fun.
One finds it difficult to speak of the cast
with moderation The two stars have
drawn out a vaudeville turn to cover
about twenty appearances on the stage,
and the only fault last nights audience
seemed to find with them was that they
took to the wings too readily. Georgia
Caine has a part of only two OF three op.
portunities, but makes the most of those.
Ada Lewis, as an undeveloped clairvoy
ant, and George f. Marion as DR.. Dago
Daggeri-who would be a consistent stage
villain if specialties permitted-are bet
ter in those roles than a good many peo-
pie who come to town during the season
heralded by bill boards and followed by
board bills. La Petite Adelaide George
Lawrence, Carrie Eberts, John Parr and
| Budd Ross like Miss Caine, have por-
trayals altogether too small for them, but
| large enough to establish all in high IA
vor long before the third act ends. Maude
Raymond gets the most of the possibiii-
| ties and uses them to advantage. 1t is a
positive treat to hear her new song, u
| Wonder What Is That Coon's Game, y
and observe the cake walk which Ber
| Teal has arranged to follow. There are
! in addition full score of very good look
| ing girls to complete the stage settings
| and help out with the choruses.
| "A Reign of Error is a realization ir
the flesh of the old dream of the adver-
tising agent, Sixty Laughs to the Min.
ute; Not a Dry Line in the iPece" This
| is the reason why those who go to the

Ithaca, N Y. Sept. 19-P. I. Dodge.
the well-known patent attorney, of New

ton. of Sibley College, the costliest piece
of machinery ever constructed 1T is the
original Paige typesetting machine, the
only one of its kind ever built. Besides
being the costliest piece of machinery in
the world, it is, at the same time the
most remarkable. 1t consists of over 49,
900 parts and IS in every detail beautifully
perfect in its working. 1t is not built
on the plan of the Mergenthaler typeset-
ting machine, which molds its own type,
but, like a human being handles ordinary
type, sets it, leads it, and -'distrib-
utes'' it.
The invention was a failure in a COM
mercial sense, for even after the first ma
chine was perfected, it was impossible, to
build the machine so that it could be

CHANGES IN THE FACULTY.
Preparing for the Opening of th'
CafhaIic IniYersity.


Catholic University.
The Catholic University of America will
omen its doors for the term OF 1889 -on
Tuesday. October l. Many changes have
been made in the faculty during the
Summer.
The chair of Celtic languages and lit
erature will be occupied by DR.. Richard
Hennebry The chair of Celtic languages
is a very difficult one to fill, and when ii
was first established in 1896 the university
had difficulty in finding an incumbent.
After long and patient search Arch
bishop Keane, who was then at the head
of the university, found In Dr. Hennebry
the man he wanted, and he was appointed
to fill the chair. Since his appointment
DIR. Hennebry has spent most of his time
in Europe securing data that will help
him in his work this Winter.
1t was expected that he would return
last year, but upon his own request he
was allowed to spend another year in Co
penhagen and Leipsic, where the best
Celtic and German scripts are kept.
The chair is the only one of IT'S kind ir
America. and was endowed by the An
cient Order of Hibenians.
The other changes in the staff of teach
ers are James Mcdonald. instructor IL
the law department.; Dr. Dunn, = grad
uate of Yale, to teach Latin in the schoo
of letters, and DIR. Lucien ]. Johnston, L
be assistant in the school of theology.

The tragic death of the Empress Eliz-
abeth will close to society the portals of
the Australian legation this season, for
though the official mourning covers only
a period of thirty days the Baroness Hen
gelmuller was a special favorite of the
dead empress and it is therefore likely
that only those entertainments demanded
by social etiquette will be given at the
legation the coming Winter. In describ-

skill WIN Conquer Brute Force.

1t is an axiom to say that with equal
ships on both sides the result of fight
will depend upon the steadiness, the in
telligence and the training of the men,
writes Professor Ira n. Tollis i'll The
Atlantic. After all, it is they who form
the chief element as well in these days
as in the past, when our weapons and
ships were of more elementary type.
Tho ability and bravery of our people
cannot be questioned. One of the finest
episodes of history is the sinking of the
Cumberland at Hampton Roads. Her
crew went down firing the guns until
the ship was submerged, and the flag
was never lowered.
In calculating the chances of victory
we must take into account the disposi-
tions and character of our opponents.
/ Any deficiency in their mechanical
| knowledge and skill is certain to invite
defeat Bravery goes for naught in the
presence of machinery if a people be
hampered by tradition and methods be
longing to the middle ages Evidence
for the present case may be gathered
from the behavior of the descendants Of
the Spaniard in South America. The
machinery of their ships has Away
suffered except in the hands of foreign
engineers, principally Scstch and Eng
lish, hired for the purpose. That the,
have courage when cornered is un
doubted.
Tho distinction between those mel
and ours is not one of bravery. but on
of mechanical knowledge and force
which seem likely to be the determining
factors in this particular war.
