What A. Conan Doyle did in literature,
William Gillette has now done for the
stage, and in Sherlock Holmes Mr. Gil
lette has retained all the characters so
well known, and has been compelled to

reer of the great detective, showing his

THEATRICAL.
THE LITTLE MINISTER" !"

There is a quality to the acting of Miss
Maude Adams which has never been ade-
quately described in print and which we
fear never will be so described, although
one becomes conscious of II very soon
after she appears upon the stage. The
expression "eXquisitely feminine" conveys
CTudely the idea; but II needs uualiflca-
tion and shading. There are other wo-
men upon the stage who impress us by
their faithful delineations of the feminine
sex; but nowhere in the list of actresses
who have won eminence in the portrayal
of the finer feminine roles can We recall
one who presents suclPa spontaneity Of
seemingly unaffected emotions, SO subtly
shaded or so sweetly blended; or such
delicate and gracious sense of humor,
lowering just on the borderland of wo-
manly sympathy and tears,

presented at the Lyceum last evening be-

trite to say that the triumph of art is TO

Adams acting is that It does not alloV

WATER SCHEMES.

Since the soliciting committee start
ed out for subscriptions to defray the
expense Of getting legal advice as 70
the mode OF procedure to obtain
municipal water, a number OF schemes
have partially developed. Those in-
terested In the Arteslan Water COM
pany propose putting down two or
three large wells at a cost of slO.010
for the supply OF 1000 taps through
the central city at SO tap-one-thirl

bring them more than half the cost Of
the plant the first year. w. T. Nor
gan is at the head of a movement 10
sink a well at the head of Salem ave
nue. for the supply Of residents and
business men of that thoroughfare.
In this case it is proposed to have the
consumers pay pro rata on the first
cost and then have free water. The
Consolidated is in for a lively time
whether municipal water is realized or
not.

ing comedies of the age and keeps the
audience in one continual outburst of
laughter and applause throughout the

known players on the stage. An entirely

have met with popular favor throughout
the entire country.
