WAR OF PRINCIPLES.

Rabbi Voorsanger lectured at the Tenn
pie Emmanuel last evening upon the
situation in South Africa. He spoke of
the Boer war in connection with the war
between this country and Spain, and
showed where one had been thrust upon
the people by the proximity of a nation
inimical to progress and civilization as it
is in this century, and the other was
based upon the same principle nation
non-progressive and isolated IN the march
Of modern needs and means.
He reviewed the terms Of the treaty
between the English and the Beers. in
which it was agreed that all white peo-
pie in South Africa should have equal
rights, and then went on 10 tell how the
Beers had gradually circumscribed these
rights so far as they affected foreigners,
and had extended them so far as they
related to those of their own number
He described II as a war between meth
DDS, between prinCiples-the old and the
new-and one in which that nation which
stood for what has brought civilization
to what it IS must triumph in the end.

THE MUSKETBERS"
WORTH TWO WEEKS.

THE Alcazar management has waxed
nightly ambitious and is produc-
ing The Three Musketeers" in ten
spizzing scenes. They are pretty
pictures. The size of the stage necessi-
tates a dollhouse coziness about them
which does not accord with the swash-
buckling spirit Of the play, but the very
best possible has been done under existing
conditions. The run of a San Fran
cisco play does not vet warrant the buy
ing of improved property back of down
town theater in order to build an addi-
tion to the stage, as was done in New
York for The Great Ruby" All things

First and foremost credit belongs not
so much to Mr.. Ormonde as to Charles
Bryant Mr.. Bryant is responsible. il
seems for the stage direction. which is
glory enough in itself. Furthermore. he
is responsible for an Athos whose success
is due entirely to Mr.. Bryant's dead earn
estness for the gods never equipped him
fir the part. Entirely lacking the pres
ence which Dumas has attributed to
AthOS. he nevertheless make his words
tell for all that is in them.
Eugene Ormonde is a right winning
D'Artagnan, and he shows the young
Gascons social evolution by light and
firm touches; He does not play with
depth. He does not play as If he had
studied the novel first-his understanding
OF the part seems 10 come from the lines
alone. But he is magnetic.
Juliet Crosby as the Queen is easily the
leading lady. although Gertrude Foster is
billed for the part. The wiles and guies
Of Lady de Winter are as remote from
Miss Fosters heart as absinthe is from

never cut out for a sinner. Nor has Miss
