Gr.rd-Tb~ Harris sympo.ium.

| Something of a novelty in the line OF
amateur entertainment was given yester-
day at the Grand, where the Harris Broth
ers staged several scenes and had sung a
| number Of vocal selections from their va
rious produced and unproduced operas.
The whole performance was called Sym
postum on the bills and was contributed
| by score OF local celebrities. whose work
proved rather good for that Of amateurs.
Those who turned out for the purpose OF
hearing the rendering were apparently
pleased with IL and gave every reason for

author will reap something Of a harvest
from their enterprise.

THE Trickster and the WITCH THE
Aountaineer,' THE Baronet." The Sea
Beggar," The Hula Girl and THE Three
Dukes" Most OF this material Is new and
much of II has merit. The music is espe-
cially clever, showing considerable swing
and brightness. The lyrics are also fair
and so little of the lihrettos was given that
they need not be harshly criticized.

A large number OF residents of the eastern

Devils Island" which was seen last
famous Dreyfus case, and either that fact
or something else caused queue Of eager
ticket-buyers to extend nearly the whole
length of the lobby, while the space in
side the house was filled to the doors.
1t is rather a pity that this audience had
not a better play on which TO exhibit its
patriotic and appreciative emotions. "Dev-
lis Island has but one strong point, and
that is its plot, which is well worked out.
The lines are commonplace and devoid of
humor or any other telling quality. though
scme allusions to free press and the
American flag provoked enthusiastic ap-
plause, as they would probably do under
any circumstances. The authors have evil
IDENTIFY thorough understanding of public
feeling, and all their illusions to public
affairs have been framed to meet with
large approval.
The one member of the cast who can
be said to do any remarkable work is En-
lily Rigl, who is seen in the part of the
adventures, Nina Petrovsky. This is the
star role of the play, and, though sin
gularly barren of clever speeches, abounds
in effective situations. Miss Rigl makes
the most of every opportunity for business
and several rather fiat lines are rescued
from absolute inanity by the way in which
she gives them. Her portrayal has spirit.
a grace. and an abandon which makes 1t
simply delightful, and 1t is only to be re-
gretted that the character gives her no
more chance. The part of Pauline de la
Tour might seem strong in competent
hands. but in those Of Cora Macy it fails
to convince. Dorothy Rossmore achieves
fair success in the rather unpromising
role Of Patty Pry, a newspaper woman,
and Christie Mclean plays an American
heiress somewhat inconsequentially. Le-
ander Blanden. as Maurice de la Tour, is
dignf6ed, II not heroic. and Howard Trues-
dell, as Orloff. the villain. does some good

DRAMATIC CRITICISM.
"East Lynne" rs Reviewed by q
wild and wooIIy Topeka
Reporter.

The reports from those who attended the
production of East Lynne" in all its gor.
geous misconception the other night unite
in pronouncing it little the worst show
that has ever cracked IA square yards of
plastering off the ceiling of the opera house
in this city. Lady Isabel was about as be-
witching as a sun-kissed maiden of Sene-
gambia, and a man who would fall in love
with her would fall into a coal pit through
a two-inch guard rail. When she returned
from the mountains of Germany as Miss
Vane to play the nursery maid to her son
she looked as though she had played hockey
from a smallpox graveyard. The special
scenery where she met Sir Francis Levison
and made a post -mortem contract to run
away with him looked like a cross between
the malaria-smeare hills of Arkansas and
diseased vermiform appendix.
Mr.. Carlyle had a voice which had to be
raised with a derrick in order for the people
in the back part of the audience to hear it,
and then when it was at its highest pitch the
tackle would break or some one would knock
the blocking from under it and it would fall
like the price of steers during democratic
administration. Barbara Hare looked as
though she had been left over from bargain
sale and didp' t care much whether her insur-
ance ran out or not. Aunt Cornelia had a
voice that sounded like a cross between an
army mule with a ringworm and cross.cut
saw, and was built good deal like an Okla
homa cyclone on stills. The only good thing
about the entire show that good deal of
it was left out and it could have been i'm
proved upon by taking meat ak and cut
ting out the rest of il and turning the actors
into the corn6elds and kitchens where they
belong.-Topeka journal.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Pectess OF Passion Writes About the
Attitude of Women Towards the
Men of To-day.

The attitude of women to men is
varied, and interesting to study. There
is the type of woman who regards man
as her natural enemy. She believes
that his one object in life is to destroy
her peace and to make her subservient
to his will.
She is always on the defensive
against his wiles; but she usually mar
ries early and poses ever afterward as
a martyr. She warns her daughters
against men and assures them they will
regret it all their lives if they do not
heed her counsels.
They never do, and when they become
wives, she is the most impossible sort of
mother-in-law, and makes trouble in
their households. Woman she believes
to be all angel, man all devil. Woman
can do no wrong, man no good. How
ever much in fault a woman may be, she
defends her and blames the often inno-
cent masculine victim of feminine ca
price, and you might as well try to rea-
son with the wind as to argue this wom-
an into any other view Of the sexes.
Another type is the woman who
thinks ofma as "an excellent fellow" a
"good comrade." She has no sentiment
in her feeling for him. She likes him,
and finds him more companionablet than
most women. She is breezy and up to
date and liberal in her views of human
ity, and men meet her on mutual mental
ground more frequently than her own
sex.
She is, as a rule, given to outdoor
sports, and is versed in horse and dog
lore. When she marries, it is usually
through the accident of propinquity
and constant association with some
good fellow" whom she believes will
be good comrade" for life, and she
laughs at anyone in derision who ac.
cuses her of falling in love.
Then there is the woman who looks
upon man as merely signer oi
checks. and who considers all methods
fair which result in the transfer oi
money from his pocket to hers.
When she is well educated and reared
in refinement she becomes a rich hus
band hunter, but under less favorable
conditions she develops into an adven

GLASS vases for FIo,yers.

Every now and then florists and other
authorities rise up and declare that it
is no longer good form" to keep flow
Iers in clear glass through which their
stems show. That is very much like
saying that it is no longer good form"
to have long eyelashes or rosy cheeks.
The stem of a graceful flower is one of
its greatest beauties. Seen through n
bit of clear crystal with tiny globules
of water encrusting it, it is almost as
much of an ornament as the blossom
which it supports. Until nature be-
gins to produce ugly stems nothing will
be more appropriate for holding flow
ers than well-shaped glass vases. occa-
sionally a bit of colored glass is permis-
sible. There is delicate green variety
and faint amethyst kind, both of
which add to the beauty of the stems
they reveal.

Gen. "Joe" Shelbys old body serv-

He remembers the war times remark
ably well, and likes nothing better than
to talk of the many fights and incidents

nous confederate general, whose body
rests in Forest Hill cemetery. With
