candidacy of ex-Representative Charles NJ
Brumm was announced. Governor Stone. OF
Pennsylvania called on the President In
behalf OF Mr.. Brumm. but 1t is the impress
sion that he did not receive very much en-
couragement for his candidate. ExRepre-
sentative Brumm, notwithstanding MS
statement to the contrary. is evidently
very anxious for the position. While he
states that he does not want the place IL 1t
is to remain under civil service the opin-
ion is that he would take it subject to a
special examination. Secretary Gage and
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip opposed the
removal of the place from the list OF civil
service appointments, and the former policy
of the President has been not to recede
in any way from the position taken by MIN

Eduard Strauss famous Vienna Orches-
ira is, in some respects peculiar to ITSELF
quite unlike any other in Europe. Eduard
Strauss. while accepting none but the
very highest class musicians for his or
chestra, preserves an element of popular

tinctive. His programmes abound in the
highest and best approved productions OF
this and other periods, giving something
from the most brilliant OF vast range OF
compositions The surprising diversity OF
selections is one of the chief charms OF
the Strauss concerts. and the dash anu
spirit with which every work is delivered
are peculiarly characteristic of Strauss

its first concert here this afternoon at
the National Theatre.

The Lafayette Squnre-sThe Great
Ruby"


RUBY
Owing to the magnitude of the popular
hit scored at the Lafayette this week.
where the stock company is appearing in
a big scenic production of THE Great
Ruby" the management has decided to
extend the run of the play another week.
This is in difference to the many people
anxious to obtain seats for the presehta-
ton, the fame of which seems to have
caught the attention even Of people who
seldom go to the theatre.
History is only repeating itself II Inc
Great Ruby" runs two weeks in Washing
ton, for in the West, where Miss Bates
has appeared in the piece, 1t ran for three
weeks in succession. AS play alone
"The Great Ruby" is far in advance OF
any play which has ever played here two
weeks. 1t is attracting immense audient es
this week. and the matinee house yester-
day was completely sold out three AVS
before the performance. The man e.
ment believes that THE Great Ruby will
continue to attract such crowds ali of next
week also. but in case this expectation IS
not realized, another play is held in re-
serve.
The scenic equipment Of THE Great
Ruby is claimed TO be more elaborate
than was ever seen with a local stock
company. In all, fourteen scenes ere
shown in five acts Of the play.

COMING TO THE THEATRES.
The Nntionn,-.Janic. Meredith,


These are the days of atmosphere"
plays. Dramatists, stage managers, and
actors have all got the atmosphere" craze,
and in many respects We owe to this inno-
walton some unusually beautiful and rich
productions, among which Janice Mere
dth," in which Miss Mary Mannering is
making her initial starring tour deserves
a foremost place; indeed, so beautifully is
the atmosphere" maintained in the piece
that We can almost see ourselves in reyolu-
tionary times when the British were our
bitter enemies instead of our good friends
as they are today.
Miss Mary Mannering, as Janice Mere
dith, is said to be a delight to the eye. to
the ear and to the mind. She looks the
part to perfection: her liquid melodious
voice shows just the true middle course
between ordinary speaking and old-fash-
toned Evolutionary bombast. and she plays
the part with a deep intelligence and sim
cere. artistic appreciation which more than
guarantees any claims made for her as
star. 1t is pre-eminently one Of the pro-
auctions of the season.
Miss NIaunering. who is already well and
fayorahly known to the patrons of the New
National, will make her first bow as star
at that playhouse on next Monday evening.
There has already been very heavy book
ing by mail. and everything points to
very successful engagement. The regular
sale will open this morning. Matinees Will
be given on Wednesday Thursday Thanks
giving Day., and Saturday.
The COlumbin-FrnncisW Wilson.
In the new comic opera, 1.-The Monks of
Malahar," which Francis Wilson will pre-
sent at the Columbia next week, with
special Thanksgiving Day matinee. it is
said that the comedian will try to do
nothing else than make the people laugh,
and, being thus devoted altogether to fun.
he accomplishes his purpose admirably.
He is a caricature of Frenchman in
India during the first act Of the new
piece He has left gay girl behind in
Paris, and is about to wed an Oriental.
but the ether substitutes herself for 'he
bride and SO compels him to marry her.
That gives him opportunities to be the
victim of termagant. In the second act
he returns from journey, in the dis suise
OF native of the country. having escaped
from matrimony through pretence OF
being -devoured by tiger. But joy is
, turned to grief when he learns that his
! supposed widow has not fed to escape
crema ton. in accordance with the old
Hindoo law. So he puts on the dr>ss OF
monk. ostensibly there to attend the
ceremony of fire, but really to- save her
life. which he does by suggesting to the
rapacious Rajah that she be sold at auc-
ton. He counts on buying her. but he is
outbid by wealthy and amorous prince.
In this act he has chances to change his
costume twice and thus give variety OF
, aspect 20 his familiar tricks of speech
and antic.
