 opera house tonight, tomorrow an( l Wednesday nights, with matinee Wed
 nesday. It Is remarkable what a strong
 hold this charming play has on thu
 public. It is play which never wear
 ies the onlooker. It seems to leave a l desire to see it again and again Its
 charm is its simplicity and utter nat
 uralness. It is life of picture trans l ferred from the brush of inspiration tc
 the canvas of charming realism. As
 Ben Johnson writes, What pleases long and pleases many must have mer-
 it." This play has enjoyed the longest
 run of any dramatic composition pro-

 Square theater New York city, and
 since that has had over 5000 perform
 ances. The names of the people ap-
 bearing in this revival is guarantee
 enough that it will be an excellent pre-

 which he carefully luted and set on the
 furnace to heat. He poked up the fire and waited around, thinking what he
 would do with all his money if this should turn out to be the powder of re- duction that would turn base metals into gold, when, bang! went the alem- bic and the windows blew out, and the door ripped off it's hinges and fell down. blam The alchemist scuffled out from under the ruins of the furnace, shook red-hot coal or two out of his shoe and the ashes off himself and wondered what had struck him. He tried 1t again and again and each time with the same result; and then it dawned upon him that he had discovered fair article of blasting powder. Since then about all that has been done to his recipe has been to put in a lettle better article of charcoal say that of willow twigs in- stead of toasted toads.
 Little did the old alchemist dream what potency was in that powder of For such it is. Although it never yet has turned lead into gold by it's mere touch, yet when a small, round piece of lead Is put with the pow der into an iron tube of curious work and fire laid thereto, it is pos sble to convert another mans gold into the possession of him that has the iron tube of curious workmanship, and not gold only, but all manner of goods l and chattels, houses and lands, mes- suages. easements and hereritaments, | even mems souls and bodies.

How it put down the mighty from their seat, and exalted | hem that are of low degree! How has t been the helper of men that struggled | 'or their country's freedom, believing hat they had the right, God given and nborn.
