POLICE AT WORK.
Show Friday Night at Jefferson Will
 Be Novel.

Much time and energy is being devoted by the police to the entertainment they will give at the Jefferson Friday night, and all indications point to the show be- ing great success. Already a large number of tickets have been sold and the officers are actively soliciting each day as they do the work of their beats.
 That the show will be one of the most novel and attractive ever put on at the theater all persons who have seen any of the rehearsals admit. Nothing of the kind has ever been attempted by police officers in the past, and the reality of the scenes to be given makes an added interest to the performance. The raid ing of both a negro crap game and ''swell'' gambling house, representing the most prominent of the gambling evils, by the officers will make two scenes at once new, real and pleasing
 The officers will be assisted in giving the performance by Eugenia Livingston Tucker and c. w. Milton, both entertain CTS of ability In reference to the per formance of Miss Tucker the following criticism speaks: .sa
 From the beginning to the close she held the audience enthralled in dreamy flights of fancy in melting pathos or sde-splitting humor. Her character de- lineations and dialect were true to life and brought forth hearty applause. Miss Tucker is truly an artist in her speciality, and as an entertainer has few equals. The recitations by Miss Eugenia Living ston Tucker elicited much laughter and vociferous applause. The numbers pre- sented by Miss Tucker were presented with the grace of an elocutionist of re- markable ability. The audience was dag zled and electrified by the power and versatility of her talent. Her repertoire of Southern character sketches is unsur- passed in its unique selections, and in the ifnpersonation of character she has no superior'
 Tickets are on sale at all drug stores and by all police officers.

HURLEsoUE, Nol SHAKESPEARE,
Shareholders of Lyceum Suggest a
 Change of Policy.

London, April 24.-Considerable ex- citement and uproar attended the meeting today of the shareholders of the Lyceum Theatre Company, owing to the disappointing character of the report. An attempt was made.to se- cure the appointment of comimttee of inquiry, but it failed. The chair man attributed the poor financial showing to the war and to the death of the Queen.
 The shareholders .retorted that the directors ought to have insured against so likely a contingency as the death of the Queen, and, if Shakespeare was unprofitable, they ought to. have tired something else. It was suggested that the theatre ought to have been con verted into a variety hall when the nation was depressed by war and that cheery burlesque ought to have been produced, not Shakespeare. The re- port was finally adopted.
