Morosco's.

Although 1.-THE Coast Guard during
the past week, together with the attrac-
tive speciality Of the Waterman sisters
and the initial performance of Miss Maud
Miller, has drawn crowded houses at Mo-
rosco's, the play will be withdrawn to
make way for the reopening of that pop
ular actor James M. Brophy in "Trilby."
When the young California actor termi-
mated his recent starring engagement he
did not contemplate playing in this city
again for some time Manager Morosco,
however, having in view grand opera
season in March, the remodeling of the
Grand Opera-house and a general change
of policy, desired to strengthen his stock
company for the remainder of the pres
ent season. Before taking his vacation
Mr.. Brophy was consequently induced to
accept an engagement as stock star of
the company. He believes that his con-
ception of the character of Svengali will
compare favorably with that of Mr..
Lackaye, Mr.. Roberts or Beerbohm Tree,
and will follow closely the lines laid down
by Mr.. Du Maurier as to the makeup
and characterization Of the hypnotic mu-
stefan.
The entire company and several extra
people are in the cast.

but then it is difficult to understand
that an actress who rather storm
ed her audience into attention in
one role should succeed in gaining
the same attention in another by
directly opposite methods.
All! if all press agents only wrote
like that!
But on second thoughts it is just as
well they don't: if they did, dramatic
critics would be superf1uous.
Another agreeable shock in my mail
comes from Lads Benda, Modjeska' 6

Saved His Life by n Jest.

Amelia Wofford tells of ''The Court
Testers of England" in st. Nicholas.
The author says of one of them:
Archee Armstrong was the beloved
Jester of King James vi of Scotland,
afterwards James l Of England, and
this is the traditional story of their
introduction:
zone day shepherd with the car
cass of q sheep upon his shoulders
was tracked to his cottage on the
moorlands by the officers of justice.
In the cottage they found a vacant
faced lad, rocking cradle with more
attention than a boy is accustomed to
give that duty; this, however, did not
arouse their suspicious. They searched
the cottage thoroughly, but failed to
discover the sheep. They were
about to depart, when one of
their number accidentally looked
into the cradle, and-the stolen sheep
lay there! The lad, who was sup
posed to be the thief, was brought be-
fore King James VI of Scotland. He
was tried, convicted, and sentenced to
die. He began to plead with the
king. He was poor, ignorant fellow,
he said; he had heard of the Bible and
would like to read it through before
he died. Would the king respite him
until he did so. The king readily
gave his consent, whereupon the cul
prit Immediately said: Then hang
me if ever read word OF, as lang
as my cen are open.
The witty reply captured the king.
He pardoned the prisoner, and took
him into his service as jester. In this
capacity Archee was soon q prime
favorite.

After the North Pole.


If the North Pole is not discovered
in 1898 it will not be because brave
explorers have ceased to be interested
in it. Some time ago we told you
about Lieutenant Peary's proposed
expedition, how he will establish two
or three Eskimo stations in the far
north which will be in the nature of
stepping stones to the pole. From
the last one he will make dash with
a sledge and dogs and only one or two
companions, and he hopes to discover
the pole and get safely back to his
last station during the summer. But
Peary is not the only man who will
seek the "farthest north" Captain
Sverdrup, who commanded Nansen's
famous ship, the Fran, in the recent
expedition, will sail away in 1898 with
sixteen men and several hundred
sledge dogs. He will get as far north
as he can in the ship and then try to
cross the vast stretches of ice on
sleds. The Norwegian government
has furnished the money for fitting
the ship, and Captain Sverdrup feels
sure that he can reach the pole.
