Hans Hansen at East Lake

The great audience that witnessed the performance of Man and Master" last Saturday night was so pleased that large and enthusiastic Monday night audience may be expected to see Hans Hansen" The play is altogether comedy of the ex- tremest sort-the part of Hans being the depletion of the strange and awkward sit uation of a green Swede. The title role will be played by MT. Earl P. Adams, whose familiarity with the brogue of the Swedes of the northwest enables him to give an unusually fine representation. The char acter parts will be played by MT. Frank Hall and MT. Edwards Davis, both of whom have their respective admirers. The soubrette role will be played by the recently acquired member of the company Pauline Seymour, of New York and because of her beautiful work last week much will be expeced of her. During the week special ties will be introduced by Miss Kingore and MT. Hall, repeating their cakewalk, which won such pronounced favor recently.

EMPRESS DOWAGER
 MUST BE CAUGHT
Germany Regards Her Reported Flight. Very SeriouSIy-Fu-
 ture Policy Discussed.

Berlin, August 19.-lThe flight of the Dowager Empress and the disappearance of the Emperor of China is here regarded as of much greater and lasting importance than the mere taking of Pekin, and the complications resulting therefrom are speculatively discussed by the press and in political circles. The overwhelming opinion is that since all the powers have agreed to install a strong central govern ment at Pekin it becomes necessary first to destroy, or at least render harmless the fugitive government which is responsible for the whole Chinese eruption. Therefore it is claimed, it is necessary to follow and capture the fugitives. This probably will call for the employment of large addition al forces, besides those which are now in China. Surmises as to whether the United States Great Britain and Japan will also share therein or leave the burden to Rus sia, France, and above all, to Germany, fill the papers today.
 The German Government adheres to the view that perfect harmony prevails among the powers regarding immediate action in China. number of the opposition papers express deep dissatisfaction with the ignor ing of the Reichstag and the whole of the Emperor's China policy, declaring it far exceeds the limits laid down by Count von Buelow, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in his circular to the ruling princes of Germany on July Ii.
 At Emperor Williams dinner to Field Marshal Count von Waldersee last even- ing at Wilhelmshohe. the China situation in its various bearings was thoroughly dis cussed between His Majesty and Count von Waldersee, Prince Muenster Dorneburg, pr. Lucanus, the chief of the Emperor's s civil cabinet; Admiral Diedrichs and Colo mel Chuef Steuben participated.
 A majority of the papers praise Austria as ''the steadfast and unimpeachable ally of Germany

REV. FATHER DOWNS
 AT ST. PAUL'S
He Preached Two Practical and
 Effective Sermons.
CONGREGATIONS
On the Theme of Charity at the First Mass and on the Theme of De- traction of Character at
 Second Mass

The Rev Father Downs was the cele- brant and preached at both early and late mass at St. Paurs church yesterday morn- ing. At the early service he delivered short discourse on charity. He thought that those who were able to help the needy should do so promptly and cheerfully. Those who helped their fellows not only performed a duty but they themselves re- ceived reflex benefit.
 At the late mass Father Downs preached a telling sermon on the loose tongue the tongue that detracts. His text was taken from the gospel of St. Mark, Tth chapter, 35 verse; And the string of his tongue was loosened and he spoke rightly Qn the King James translation, And the string of his tongue was loosed and he spaSe plainly After brief introduction on the value of speech the priest discussed the habit, in which many persons indulged of detraction.
 He made it clear that the detractor was not simply one who slandered or bore false witness. Any one who went out of his way to report evil things of another, even if what he reported be true, was a de- tractor. But those who indulged in talking about the shortcomings of others were apt to exaggerate and make the matter appear worse than the truth warranted. Great harm came from tittle-tattle, and the preacher cautioned his hearers in this re- spect. If the facts must be told, if the cir cumstances make it wrong for a man to withhold what he knows about his neigh bor, he should tell it out like man, and not behind his neighbours back There should be no tattle; no idle or uncalled for talk about the foibles or past wrong doing or our fellows.
 The preacher Illustrated the point he was making, that is, the harm that might be done by those who used the tongue loose ly, by the following story:
 A young man who moved to a new com munity for the purpose of redeeming his past life, was leading good, upright life and was much esteemed. But one day man who knew him in his old home came along and said to some one he met, "Why, that man was the biggest scoundrel in - The poor fellow heard of it, and took his life. The man who told about h.s past was his murderer.
 Father Downs speaks f1uently and dis tinctly and is always listened to with close attention.
 Both congregations at St. Paul yester- day were very large.

tinue to come from Shanghai. Despite de- feat the Chinese are apparently resolved to make desperate struggle not only in their ancient capital, but also in other parts of the empire. Chang Chi Lung, vice roy at Hankow, and Liu Kun Vi, viceroy at Nankin, according to adviees from Shanghai, have threatened the consular, saying that if the person of the Empress Dowager is not respected they will With draw from their present friendly attitude.
 Another Shanghai dispatch announces the death of Ii Ping Hong, Cheng ana Chang Lui Lin in the fighting before Pe- kin.
 The Mandarines in the Southern Prov inces, according to dispatch to the Daily Express from Hong Kong, have issued an important proclamation recognizing the capture of Pekin as a just punishment ol reactionary officials and warning the peo- pie not to interfere with foreigners, put also pointing out that the sole object of the powers should be the punishment or the Boxers and then the restoration Of peace' confinng, however, their operations to the north
 Emperor Nicholas has wired to General Linevich, commander of the Russian troops in the Province of Pc Chi Lii, congratulat- ing him heartily upon the rapid capture or Pekin and bestowing upon him the third class order of St. George.
 The Russian Emperor also thanks Vice Admiral Alexieff and the "heroic Siberian t1oops." General Grodoff, Russian com mander of the Amur Government, reports to the Russian War Office that the Chingan Pass was captured August IS, after bloody battle, in which the Chinese suffered heavily, losing four or five guns. The Rus sian Cavalry were in pursuit of the enemy
 The principal Russian papers, notably the Novoe Vremya, commenting upon the Vic- tory at Pekin, declare that Russia should go no further in participating in common intervention, but should limit her military action to the frontier and the Manchurian Railroad.
