was Jekyll and Hyde character, known
as King George among the Chinese, a
monarch who de6ed American laws and
corrupted politics behind mask OF
gold, gained through smugging-a
modern Monte Cristo, worshipped as
Mammon in society-a gambler and
knave who welded the sceptre among
the Chinese and the lowly. The story
is one OF sunshine and shadow Of real
life, graphically pictured in four acts,
that embody comedy, heart interest and
stirring tragedy with intensely original
plot and theme. Scenically the produc-
ton is claimed to be one OF stupen-
dously marvellous grandeur, presenting
kaleidoscope view of oriental mag
nifcence. A strong company is prom

Lo0ting by the Volunteers.

The following by young Protestant,
John S. Mosby, Jr., OF Denver, COL,
recently appeared in the New York
Nation:
Sir: The advocates of the spread of
Christianity in the Philippines at the
point of the bayonet have denied, with
horror, that any Of the Catholic churches
in the islands had been looted by the
American soldiery. Archbishop ireland,
i'll defense of the administration, has
strenuously denied such a sacrilegious
occurrence.
In order to put the matter beyond all
doubt, however, l desire to say that
there are now on exhibition in the city
OF Denver, at the book store OF Pierce
& Zalln, No. G33 Seventeenth, street, the
vestmcnts of priest ard some images
taken from cathedral at Iloilo by
soldier OF the Fourth Regulars. He
stated to me that he had taken a great
many OF these vestmcnts, but that, be-
ing threatened with midcw, on account
OF the dampncss there, he had spread
them out on some lines near his tent,
and his comrades had stolen the most
OF them. The images, some OF them
being heads OF Christ, were evidently
broken from the walls or brackets.
Any one who is at all familiar with
the Catholic vestments can recognize
the gcn,lincness OF these at a glance.
These souvenirs" are exposed in the
window OF the store mentioned for the
purpose OF attracting trade. l should
like to know what Archbishop ireland
thinks of this

At the BliOu.

One of the best of the excellent at
fractions booked for this season at the
Bijou Opera House is that bewildering
musical farce comedy, "Kelly's Kids, y
which will be the offering next week,
beginning with performance to-mor-
row.
This comedy has enjoyed remark
able degree of popularity during the
season, throughout the country, where
it has been presented. The story of the
play is an interesting one, but told in
humorous way, that is delightfully."- new
and unconventional. 1t presents the
funny side of life, and we see it every
day, and with a certain amount of ex-
aggeration, emphasize its points in a
manner most provoking. 1t pleases all
kinds of theater-goers, and while there
is rashness about it that is unique, it
is without line of vulgarity and can
be enjoyed by the most fastidious. Dur
ing the course of the action of the play,
a number of the brightest, newest and
most popular song hits of the day will
be introduced, and the latest steps OF
the inventive dancing masters will be
given.

the morrow, would sort them and meas

A DcSecrated Shrine

General Funston has in his possession
blue silk, gold-ornamcntcd robe taken
from the statue OF the Blessed Virgin
i'll the Caloocan church on February II.
In stripping this robe from the statue
the figure was mutilated and almost
hacked to pieces. The glass case in
which it was cncascd was broken into
a thousand pieces, says John J. Sullivan
i'll November Donahocs.
Although there is a doubt as to
whether Funston himself stole this robe
from the statue, Mrs Stevens, hospital
nurse from Colorado and Thomas Fox,
a voluntary nurse in the hospital corps,
who is now employed in the Hall of
Records, in the City OF Oakland, Cali
fornia, claim that they were eye wit
ncsscs to the theft and that Funston is
guilty. Mrs. Stevens, who has a son in
the army, was ambitious to get posses
sion OF the robe, its beauty having been
described to her by her son. She went
to the church for the purpose OF obtain
ing 1t, but on the way she was told that
Funston had heard about the robe and
at that time was engaged in divesting
the statue OF it. On entering the church
this report was confirmed. At the time
the sacred robe was stolen Mr.. Peters,
sketch artist for either Harper's or
Lcslic's Monthly, was engaged in
sketching the police station in Caloo-
can, and it is claimed by Fox that the
artist was an eye witness to the theft
The robe was subsequently presented
to the wife OF General Funston by the
latter, who considered it most extraor-
binary and valuable gift. Fox served
in the ambulance corps under Captain
Black, of the North Dakota regiment

the men who have displayed the greatest
zeal in organizing the American Anti
lmperialist League Of Chicago were
conspicuous two years ago in an indie
pendent movement in behalf OF Nc
kinley. Mr.. Smith further said that the
leading men of the Chicago organiza-
ton were directing it along non-partisan
lines. They hoped to influence both OF
the old parties to take what they con-
sidered the right view Of the anti-imper-
ialist question, but if the one party took
this course and the other did not, the
anti-impcrialist league would support
the former.
Mr.. Smith suggested that Minnesota
might become the nucleus for the north
western league. Should this prove the
case the organization would be conduct
cd from Minneapolis, and this would be
a branch league, the same as the
Decentralization league has become the
New England branch.
