''Theodora' or Her Last Race" the
masterpiece of the worlds most famous
playwright, which is to have an elabo-
rate presentation at the Metropolitan to-
night by Mrs Clarence NJ. Bruno and
an organization numbering many people,
has had especial features to recommend
It as an attraction of extraordinary
worth, aside from the principal fact that
II is what it is the greatest composition
of its kind on the American stage. New.
er in the annals of stage history has
there been a production on the gigantic
scale given by the spectacular environ
ment which forms the embellishments
of Theodore" the acknowledged mas
terpiece of the worlds most famous play

nine tabeauX, forming a pageantry of
beautiful stage pictures. Each act has
its individual and thrilling climax.
four-horse standing race, in which Theo
dora participates, is naturally paramount
among them, while the costuning of the
play is another impressive feature.
Mrs Bruno in the title role will display
a number of gowns reputed to be marvels
of artistic creation. There are six of
them, purchased in Paris at a cost of
$1,000 The imperial robe is perhaps the
most exquisite of these raiments. The
trout of the gown is of white satin
heavily embroidered in gufd and precious
stones A train, worn with the dress,
is covered by a picture of the peacock,
depicted by gold threads and Jewels.
The head of the bird reaches high up
In the neck of the gown and extends
over twenty feet along the floor. A dia-
mond girdle encirclirg the waist is also
worn. as is the imperial crown, which
weighs six and one-half pounds.
The mechanism of the four-horse Ro-
man standing race, which is one OF the
many thrilling and sensational features
of the great dramatic triumph, 'Theo-

But now I'll tell you, Carter, what I'm

great cloud of smoke out of your mouth

eyes when you looked at your cards.
Now, l believe that you think you have
a straight flush. But don't believe you
read your cards correctly. I am going
to do something that may seem TO be
awful bad poker, considering the hand

that your eyes deceived you. You'd bet

SALISBURY
WONT TALK.

For several weeks past it has
been persistently rumored that
| Willard Salisbury, at the head Of
+. d new company. was negotiating
Tor the purchase Of the Wilmington
and New Caste and Delaware City
Electric Railway Companies, and
this rumor gained more strength
on the street to-day when it was
said that the deal had been con-
summated.
Mr.. Salisbury. when secn this
morning wanted TO know the source
Of the information and when this
was denied him. he said he had
nothing whatever to say in relation
to the matter.
II. l.. Evans a heavy stakeholder
in the New Castle line said he
could not say anything about the
sale Of his line and the reticence OF
both men lends much strength to
the rumor.

business and was ready to let the

Mr.. Salisbury is evidently ident-
