TOOK AWAY HIS APPETITE.
The Cost of Kaler's Dish of Liver
and Bacon Saddened Him.

Ealer has a yacht and the means to
go cruising when he feels like it. He
has a wonderful capacity for enjoying
himself, but thinks more of dollar
than many man in his circumstances
does of ten. At the same time he is SO
constituted that when he wants thing
he wants it, and the sport he affords
arises from his efforts to reconcile these
two characteristics.
AT the next stop we make" he said
to the colored purveyor on their latest
trip, get calf's liver and prepare it
with some bacon. There's a dish that
will just touch the spot" We ran into
a handsome and prosperous little place,
but there was none of the coveted liver
served at the next meal.
Here, Eph," shouted Kaler from the
head of the table, II told you to provide
us with some bacon and liver as soon as
we reached a market. What's the mat
ter?"

Stuart Robson, the inimitable COM
median and refined dramatic artist
comes to the Metropolitan next Thurs
day night, January 18th. The box
sheet opens Tuesday morning. The
play will be Bronson Towards great
comedy, 1.-THE Henrietta which is still
an arena of triumph for this delightful
comedian Notwithstanding the fact
that 1t has had a dozen years Of success
in every part of the country. That it
is the best of Bronson Towards plays.
the great playwright has often ac-
knowledged without hesitation. 1t has
made Stuart Robson a wealthy man,
and Howard has derived a steady reve-
nue. from its royalties, which in them
selves amount to a. comfortable fortune
every year. It's tremendous success is
due TO a combination of causes. 1t is
a strong play, but that is not enough,
for good plays there are, in plenty, but
they do not live forever. It's great beau
ty Is in the fact that it has furnished
one of the most successful and quaint
est comedians the American stage has
ever had with medium for displaying
his abilities. The BERTHE of Mr.. Robson
is one Of those creations which will
live in dramatic history side by side
with the Dundreary of the elder Soth-
ern, with the Mulberry Sellers" of
John T. Raymond, and the RIP Van
Winkle' of Joseph jefferson. 1t is
distinctive creation of wonderful scope,
something quite inimitable because it
combines the attributes of a great role
with the perfect suitability to the actor
who interprets it. 1t not only fits Mr..
Robson, it becomes him, and for the
nonce he is the BERTHE Of Mr.. Howard's
creation. The human quality of the
play, the distinct flavor of its charac-
terizations, its wit, its humor all COM
bine to give it a superior quality which
few plays seen in the last twenty years
have had. 1t is as nearly classic
comedy from the dramatic, the literary
standpoint or the artistic as has been
seen here. 1t is vindication Of the
idea that a strong, wholesome play can
be built about the people Of this coun-
try without having to go to France or
England or anywhere else for mate
rial.

EXTRACTS FROM EDITORIAL
EXPRESSION.
State and Coast Opinions on Sub
jects of Living News
Interest.

Los Angeles Times: BY the acquittal
of the girl Clara Falimer at Oakland,
the fact is again demonstrated that
where a woman is on trial it is almost
impossible to secure a jury that will
convict. There was no question about
the girls having murdered young La
due, and from the testimony adduced
at the trial the proceeding was cold
blooded and deliberate; but the muir
derer was a woman and that settled it.
Had it been a man who had killed a
girl, be would have at least received
a sentence of thirty days in jail. And
of such is justice in California
WISE ACTION.
Tacoma Ledger: President McKin-
ley has acted wisely IN Withdrawing
from the civil service a small portion of
the cffices included under it's sheltering
wing by President CIeveland's blanket
order Mr.. Cleveland at one swoop
took in forty-three thousand offices,
most of which We're occupied by Dem
ocrars, and gave them a perpetual
lease. The list to be Withdrawn by
President Mckinley includes large
number of places of appointees for
which their superiors have to be per-
sonally responsible, who, therefore,
should have a voice in their selection.

SURPLUS.
Pasadena Star: 1t is not expected
that the Democratic papers will note
the fact that the revenues under the
Dingley bill during December have al
ready been more than enough to pay
the Governments expenses for the
month and leave a small surplus. How
odd and strange sound there is to that
word surplus We have not heard
it for many moons.
