Eagle Pencil company manufactured q
self sharpening pencil under the Ro

Judge Townsend finds that the de-
PENDANT has not infringed either the

another way of making the pencils.

There was packed house again at

matinee to-day and again in the even
ing.
Josephine Hall as Aurora, the maid
Of all work, has a part that is spe-
cially suitable to her peculiar line Of
talent, and she has great deal to do,
which she does in a way that is par
ticularly her own. Fritz Williams
again scored a hit as the young doctor
who seems to be condemned and mis-
understood by those WITH whom he
comes in contact. Jennie Busley as
Topper, the page, has not much to do,
but she does it well. Maude Harrison
as the doctors wife is good. Robert
Cotton as Mr. Plant and Frank Doane
as Andrew Merry are also deserving of
special mention.

and during the three acts the audience
lis kept in state of hilarity that sends
it home in good humor.

TESS"
"Tess of the D'Urbervilles," which
will be seen in dramatic form at the
Hyperion on Tuesday night, is one of
the great novels of this day, and it
grows greater as time goes on, which
can be said of few works of fiction.
Every one who has read the history
of this daughter of the ancient soil of
England will wish to see how the dra-
matizer has treated her, what Mrs.
Fiske has done in transplanting her to
the stage. There is no doubt but her
play of TESS will be a notable the
atrical event here. The most difficult
role for an actress to impersonate is
one that calls for personality wholly
apart and different from her own. Only
a dramatic genius can successfully in
! terpret a part under such conditions.
One of the most striking instances of
this is found in Mrs. Fiske's portrayal
of "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." In this
play Mrs. Fiske has a. role differing in
almost every essential from any she
has ever acted before. Yet Mrs. Fiske
has made Tess" the admiration OF
every judge of acting, thus attesting
| her wonderful dramatic powers and
fixing herself firmly among the great
est of contemporary actresses. Sale OF
seats now open. Prices 30 cents, II
cents, 81 and $3.50.
