ain Old Kentucky"

The coming week at the Bijou Opera
House will witness the engagement of
one of the most popular of dramatic
attractions, "In Old Kentucky" This
piece has not been seen here in two
years, and is sure to receive stirring
welcome.
AS it is pretty we'll known, it deals
with an interesting phase of Kentucky
life and is symmetrical and well-pro-
portioned structure, characterized by a
poetic fervor and keen and forcible
phraseology. Its main strength lies in
its simplicity and picturesqueness. 1t
would not be true to its name if it did
not represent horse race in some form.
This feature is recalled as very real
istic and effective scene and shows the
Lexington race track at the finish of a
very spirited race between several Ken
lucky thoroughbred horses, who, urged
on by their jockeys, make wild dash
under the wire in full view OF the audi
ence. The author is credited with hav-
ing given vivid picture of social life
in Kentucky, and with the romance has
woven enough thrilling incidents into
the story to win the applause of those
who crave for the spirited action of
melodrama. "In Old Kentucky was
described in New York as the best ex-
ample OF American melodrama seen in
many years on the metropolitan stage.
1t will be given in this city complete in
all its details and with all the original
scenery and effects which contributed
so largely to its success in the metrop-
oils The company is the original one,
and the standard of excellence set up by
Manager Lit, the first year of the plays
existence, is maintained throughout in
this, its seventh season.

"JESUS DELANEY"
A New Novel by Hon. ]. G. Donnelly
Of Milwaukee.

Mr.. Joseph Gordon Donnclly, OF Mil
waukec, has written great book under
the above title and while the name Sc
lccted is rather startling to American
readers and was we suspect, chosen
with that end in view, no one who reads
the book can doubt the revercnt spirit
which dominates the author.
The scene is laid in Mexico, where
Mr. Donnelly was consul for the United
States Tor some years, and the work
|displays the authors intimate knowl-
edge OF that country and its people
The story ccntcrs around the American
mission in charge OF Brother Lamb
whose chief aids are a drunken rene
gadc priest and Jesus pronounced
Haysus) Delaney, who had been taken
as child and educated for the ministry
in the United States and then returned
to Mexico to convert his people from
Catholicity.
The absurdity OF sending missionaries
to foreign Catholic countries is the great
lesson taught by the book, but the
moral is SO we'll interviewer with tho
thread OF the story and the work is SO
entirely free from bigotry or intolerance
and withal the characters so we'll drawn
and the glimpscs OF Mexican life so i'll
tcresting that the reader scarcely real
ICES that lie is being taught lesson at
all. To write SO calmly and fairly upon
subject OH which he has strong con-
victions one must be possessed OF liter
airy talent of high degree. This Mr..
Donnclly has done so we'll that after
finishing the book one is almost in
doubt as to whether the writer is a
Catholic or not. 1t is thought the char
actcrs are drawn from life, particularly
the one who tells the story, being a
typical higll-mindcd American who had
always been an ardent supporter OF the
foreign missions.
The Catholic people of America stand
in need OF authors like Mr.. Donnclly
and OF books like Jesus Delaney, and
we hope to hear from Mr.. Donnclly
again in the near future

The Origin of the Harm.

It's BELIEVED that this Harp, which I
wake now for thee,
Was Siren OF old, who sang under
the sea;
And who often at eve thro' the bright
waters rov'd,
To meet on the green shore youth
whom she loved.
But she loved him in vain, for he left
her to weep,
And in tears all the night her gold
trcsses to steep,
Till Heaven look'd with pity on true
love SO warm,
And cllang'd to this soft harp the sea-
naiden's FORM
Still her bosom rose fair, still her cheeks
smiled the same;
While her sea beauties gracefully form'd
the light frame,
And her hair, as, let loose, DER her
white arm it fell,
Was chang'd to bright cords, uttering
melody's spell.
Hence it came that this soft harp so
long hath been known
To minglc loves language with sor-
rows sad tone;
Till thou didst divide them and teach
the fond lay
To speak love when I'm near thee, and
grief when away! Moore.

The Irish to the Front

Nearly every civilized country in the
world has been the scene OF the rise to
power and influence OF one or more
lrlsfmcn. Although prevented at home
Tor several centuries from holding Of
fees, they have gone out into the world
and proven to be irrcprcssibc, rising. to
cnlincncc and power in almost every
land under the sun, says the Duluth
Herald.
1t was an Irisllman who liberated
Chill and the name of O'Higgins is as
much revcrcd i'll that country as the
name Of Washington is in the United
States.
Until recent date an Irishman had
ruled for years with unqucstioncd att
thority as sovereign of zap, one OF the
Caroline Islands.
Three presidents of the United States,
Monroe, Polk and Buchanan were sons
of Irish immigrants, and it has been a
| subject OF dispute as to whether An
drew Jackson was born in ireland or
America.
The number OF men OF Irish blood
who have been governors OF our states,
senators, congressman, cabinet officers
and who have filled other high political
Offices in this country is legion.
Washington had no better generals
than the 1rishmcn Mad Anthony Wayne
and Sullivan. On both sides OF our
civil war there we're many thousands OF
Irish soldiers and some of the most
efficient officers OF each army were
Irishmen.
1t took an Irisllman to defeat Ma
polcon. Ireland has given several
prime ministers to England, a prime
minister to Austria and president to
the French republic.
An Irishman has sat on the viccregal
throne Of India and the duke OF Teu-
ton, one Of the most illustrious of living
Spaniards, is Of direct Irish descent his
real name being O'Donnel. Byron
declared that an 1rishman (Sheridan)
had won the double distinction of writ
ing the best comedy and making the
most eloquent speech in the English
language.
The commander in-chief OF the Brit

A sensation has been lately caused by
he circulation of rumor in Catholic
circles that member OF one of the
most prominent families in the West OF
Scotland had become a convert to
Catholicism. 1t turns out that the con-
vert has only seen his way to join the
Catholic church after long and careful
inquiry. The neophyte belongs to the
well known Coats family OF Paisley,
whose members are foremost in all
works Of benevocnce, whether of re-
ligious or secular character.
The convert is Mr.. Stewart Goats, son
OF Mr.. Archibald Goats, and grandson
OF the late Sir Peter Goats, Auchen-
Crane, Ayr, about 80 years OF age, and
unmarried Most OF his time is spent
ii, America, where he takes his fathers
place as representative Of the great
thread combine.
The story Of his conversion is an in
tcrcsting Ole. Mr.. Coats at first began
to have doubts OF the validity OF the
orders in the English church in Amer
lea, OF which he was member. Put
ting his difficulties before the bishop of
Montreal, who was great friend OF his,
that dignitary advised him to write to
celebrated authority on the doubtful
points in the English church for en-
lightcnmcnt. Mr.. Goats did SO, and
afterwards sent the answer to Father
Sydney Smith. All authority on the
Catholic view OF the case.
