No definite time for the ending of the
run of Ben Hur" at the Broadway theatre,
New York, has yet been fixed, but it is
quite probable that it will close the second
week in May. The short time now re-
naming of this season will be the last OPP
portunity the people of New York and
vicinity will have to see this great pro-
duction 1t will not be continued at the
Broadway theatre next season. 1t will be
presented for long run in Boston. I'm
der these circumstances it behooves all
those in this vicinity who desire to see
"Ben Hur" to seriously consider a time
when they will visit New York to wit
ness it. There is now an extraordinarily
large advance sale, which, as the season
draws near its end, is constantly increasing.
As the close of the run approaches and
this great and growing sale concentrates,
difficulty in securing seats may be appre-
hended Therefore those who are consid-
ering going to New York to see Ben
Hur" should set about securing seats at
once Tickets may now be had by mail
for any performance from this time till
May 1st.
The young woman with the sun kissed
locks returns to Keith's this week for q
ulACl u&dSOiAOAU, 40 OhC VI OAO ASAouA "
of program that is replete with head
liners. 1t is safe to say that none of the
comic opera companies has a quartet OF
singers equal to the Girl With the Auburn
Hair, Lydia Yeamans, Titus and the
Bruett RIVERS, the latter being French
duetists, who have been heard in grand
and comic opera in France. The engage
ment of The Girl With the Auburn Hail
in the Keith quadruple circuit of theatres
will terminate on Saturday next. 1t has
proved to be the most profitable speciality
ever employed in the Keith theatres, the
twenty consecutive weeks during which
it has been presented having been marked
by crowded houses 1t goes without say
ing that Philadelphians will again test the
capacity of the theatre, for more at
tractive act has not been seen in a variety
entertainment The comedy department
will also be unusually strong, the laugh
makers including Lydia Yeamans Titus,
statuesque; Isabelle Urquhart and Com
pany in Even Stephen, which was
acted for the first time in Philadelphia yes
terday afternoon; Ellison and Enrol, in
George Cohan s farce, GA Tip on the Der
by" J. W. Winton, the Australian ven
triloquist; Mark Sullivan and Joseph New
man. There will be several other highly
intersection biograph films, including the
thrilling Call to Arms in the Philippines
tapping blast furnace; Paris Mardi Gras
procession; Jacobs Ladder (steepest in
cline on the Mount Washington Railroad)
and the Boston's vaudeville act.

Restaurant Thieves.

''Why don't you use after dinner cot
fee spoons" asked woman at a first
class up town restaurant of the propri
etor the other evening, finding 1t some
what inconvenient to use large spoon
with her small cup. 1--WE did have
them when we first opened" answered
the proprietor. 1--WE had six Dozen
but they gradually disappeared until
now only three are left, and we consid-
er it more economical to use the larger
spoons, for which people do not seem
to have such fancy"
At many restaurants when glass of
claret or sherry is called for it is serv-
ed In a tiny decanter. These miniature
bottles are very attractive. They seem
to appeal, as many small things do, to
the taste of many people. One man
who visits now and again many differ
ent restaurants boasts that he has over
two dozen Of these pretty little decan-
tiers. He doesn't say how he came by
them, but he didn't purchase them

The Turkish Autocrat.

The sultan of Turkey rises at 6 and
after devoting the whole morning to
work with his secretaries breakfasts
at noon. After this he takes drive or
q row on the lake in his vast park. At
8 he dimes and amuses himself during
the evening with his family, listening
while his daughter plays on the piano.
He is extremely fond of music. The
sultan dresses like an English gentle
man, but invariably in frock coat, the
breast Of which on great occasions is
richly embroidered and blazing with
decorations. There are over 400 cooks
and scullions employed in the imperial
palace.
