THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
InnGaI Meetings of the Archbishops
aud Trustees


and Trustees.
As many as possible of the fourteen
archbishops in the United States viii meet
Thursday at the Catholic University for
conference. The meeting will be in all
respects similar to past annual gatherings.
Plans for the betterment of the church
will be discussed, conditions of the various
parts of the country compared, and a gen.
eral and free interchange of views will
take place
This annual meeting of the Archbish BPS
of America carries with il no legislative
significance and cannot in any way result
in a change of the policy. of the church.
Ii is not a legislative body, and ali, that
can be accomplished is through an ex-
change of views based upon prevailing con-
ditions in the respective arch dioceses.
Ii is expected of each pielate that ne will
call the attention of the others to any por-
tion Of the church machinery that fails TO
run smoothly in his jurisdiction and that
he will receive suggestions that may prove
beneficial in eradicating the evil referred
TO.
1t is not at all improbable that the fu-
ture of Archbishop Keene may be discuss
ed in a general way, but no determination
can be reached by the archbishops. The
future of Archbishop Keane rests entirely
with Rome. II is also probable that the
condition of the Indians, the missionary
schools. and the attitude of Congress re-
specting appropriations for Indian schools
will be discussed.
Tomorrow the trustees of the Catholic
University will meet. The session will last
the greater portion of the day and during
it the reports of the chancellor, Cardinal
GihbOpc and the rector Mgr Conaty and
other officials will be received and acted

Academy-"Two Jolly Royers.u

1t is perfectly safe to say that Two Jol-
ly Rovers," which was seen yester-evening
at the Academy, is one of the best pro-
ductions of the kind which will be wit
messed this season. There was nothing
better at Manager Rapley's downtown
house last year, or the year before, or for
10, these many years past. 1t is lively
picturesque, and snappy performance from
beginning to end
John F. Leonard and Sherman Wade. the
twin stars of the piece appear in Irish
parts, and their O'Rourke and O'Reilly are
among the most impressive Celts to be
found on the vaudeville stage. 1t is not
a very easy thing to be thoroughly and
unaffected funny to order, for nearly half
of an evening, but these two laugh-pro-
vokers accomplish it, and their antics
make up great part of the entertainment.
There is no plot to the affair, of course,
and very little scenery; no villain, and no
heroine. Two other prominent members
of the cast, however, are Alice Gilmore,
who plays a dashing Irish widow, and Ma
Zie King who dances. Some of Miss Gill
more's work is fairly good and some of it
is bad; she is at her best in Irish dialect
and at her worst in imitation rag time. +"
Miss Kings toe steps are extremely clever,
and ELECTED more applause than almost
anything else in the offering. Another
popular feature of the show is the act
of THE American Comedy Four who, in
makeup, behavior, and singing certainly
deserve to walk off with any cake for
which competition may be instituted
There are several sother able folk in the

Trouble Over Fighting Dogs.

dog fight in lexington was the cause of John

livery of special delivery letters have been

While the average man will undoubtedl

While the average man will undoubtedly
feel that this little verse embodies good
advice. not only concerning the girl that
you love best but in point of any girl
worth kissing, one is somewhat at a loss
to understand the reason for its publica-
ton in the programmes given out for AT
the White Horse Tavern" which is now
being played at the National. There are
three separate and distinct sets OF sweet
hearts in the piece, but there is not a
great deal of talk on the subject, and the
labial exercise in which members of the
cast indulge amounts to almost nothing.
However in the case of a work so clever
as "At the White Horse Tavern" he is
more than captious who will quarrel over
a detail, and so no more shall be said re-
garding the matter.
And AT the White Horse Tavern. is
clever almost as clever as Because She
Loved Him So" which comes dangerously
near being the cleverest farce ever seen
here Its story is a compilation, of cross
purposes and yet as simple as might be
desired; its dialogue is witty, and its in
cidents diverting; its humor is sponta-
neous and many of its characters are as
delightful as they are unconventional. Add
to this the fact that Sydney Rosenfeld who
adapted "At the White Horse Tavern"
from the I'm Weissen Rossil' of Herren
Blumenthal and Kaldeburg, has retained
much OF the original atmosphere, and one
has described a pleasing entertainment.
The presenting cast contains three ex-
cellent people, five who are more than
good, and none who are really poor. In
the first class are Anne Sutherland. one
while with Joseph Jefferson, who makes
of the hostess what Amelia Summerville
might have done in her best days; Charles
Bradshaw, one while with my Friend
From India whose choleric old man is
most amusing, and Fred Summerfeld, one
while with goodness knows what, but still
exceedingly capable. The second class in
cludes Frederic Bond, Miriam Nesbitt, Ad-
elaide Keim, Richard Bennett, and Leo
Dietrichstein. The third class.

IcoIumbia-.sThe Moth and the Flame,

Clyde Fitch's The Moth and the Flame"
one of the best plays depicting life among
the upper ten of New York written with
in the recollection of present-day theatre
goers, attracted large audience last night
at the Columbia. The story of the Offering
is one of supreme interest, the second act
especially being as sensational as the most
ardent admirer of melodrama could ask.
In this scene, that of a wedding, the iney-
liable, wronged women is shown running
up the aisle leading her son, denouncing
the would-be groom and exhibiting the ring
he placed upon her finger with the assur-
ance that it constituted a marriage cere-
mony. The climax of this bit, wherein the
british nature of the man is displayed as
he strikes the accuser in the face while the
young society belle he has led to the altar
shrinks from him AID uttering the word
coward rushes from the church, gives the
emotions OF a house full scope. The
climax is admirably worked up and is east
ly one of the strongest conceived by any

Wolton is an excellent bit of acting while

good in the role he is called upon to as
sumo in Mr.. Fitch's effort. He is a supe-
rior stage exponent of the well-groomed
parsonage OF the aforesaid upper ten and
is still possessed of enough good looks to
be classed as a favorite with the bonbon-
munching, violet wearing, impressionable
matinee girl. The company utilized in as

Grand-Vaudeyiile.
That many performers who are cost to
managers are lost to audiences was proven
yesterday at the Grand, where there was
a lamentable exhibition of falling stars
and an equally gratifying one o: acending
bodies never reputed to be heavenly. Ey-
cry entertainer on the bill which Burke d
Chase booked for this week is more or less
we'll known; those less" are, with sin
gle exception, the features of the entirely
satisfactory programme arranged. Mr..
and Mrs. Charles T. Ellis and Mr.. and MIS-.
MARK Murphy are undoubtedly lue HoSl
celebrated of the people advertised on the
bills. Yet the first duo narrows down to
Mrs. Ellis, a clever comedienne, and the
Murphy sketch, The Seventh Son. is
similarly confined to a monologue that is
objectionable in its age when one consid-
ers that Puck and Judge" are issued
periodically. On the. other hand, John w.
Ransome's caricature of Richard Croker.
while little over the heads of Washing
tonians, is excellent: Conway and Leand
contribute several bicycle feats that would
be marvellous even were the two not mo 20
pedes; Pete Bakers turn" bereft of its
opening and some verse to the authorship
of which Mr.. Baker himself pleads gui ty,
is satisfactory; Madame Titenia introduces
her wonderful toe dancing, and The Gyp
sy Quartette" sings as well as it acts bad
ly. Taken all in all, the bill is unsurpass-
ed by any, save two, of the season.
