"The LARS

When one sees a good play finely
put upon the stage by a competent
cast he feels that indeed play-golng
is not altogether an idle pastime, but
an opportunity for absorbing and as
smilating something that is worthy to
know--and for many to bear in mind.
Such a play is that of "The Liars"
handled last night at the Auditorium
by Mr.. Otis Skinner and his most cap
able company. The play is one OF al
most indescribable entanglements due
to light prevarications which to hold
the web together must grow and multi
ply both in size and number, until
their authors wearied and racked to
death for still another lie, POSSIBLE
ity No. g." which is the truth, is final
ly resorted to; and as little offense was
originally done, everything comes out
well in the end.
Mr. Skinner is consummate in his
part. lie is fine appearing man, with
grand face and head and the smooth,
rich voice of a strong man, mentally
and physically. He is well and beau
tlfully" assisted by Miss Nanette Com
stock, who as an indiscreet and gen.
orally all-round frivolous wife was
very complete.
Mr.. Skinner and Miss Comstock are
supported by a company altogether
worthy of them. Scarcely have we
seen players so we'll balanced as these
in strength. We trust we may be fa-
vored with their distinguished comp
any again.

Monday afternoon and placed him in
the State Hospital for treatment.
During the past few weeks Mr..
Knox's conduct and his physical condi-
tlon have been a source Of alarm to his
FAMILY and friends and it has been
feared for several days that he would
lcae his mind. Every care has been
taken to prevent his becoming violent
and it was not until Sunday that his
actions became of a dangerous nature.
1t was then found necessary to take
better measures for the treatment Of
his malady.
The cause Of Mr.. Knox's insanity is
varlously placed. Loss of sleep, worry
and ,-e taking of chloral to relieve
pain are the probable causes and it is
thought by the family aud friends that
a few weeks rest and proper treatment
Will bring him back to himself again
