DoCKsTADER's THEA IRE.

The Smedley Sketch Club, which was
billed as star feature of this weeks pro-
gram at Dockstader's, was obliged to
cancel at the last hour and Manager
Dockstader secured two acts to take its
place. The program as now arranged
lacks neither quantity or quality, as the
many who Witnessed the opening per-
formances yesterday can testify.
Gordon, Nidocq and Haverly in their
comedy, Two Strings to Her Bow"
present one OF the most laughabe
sketches imaginable, and the act proves
to be one of the best features Cf the bill.
Allen and Delmain in "Never Again, ;"
also scored largely. They are doubtless
the real bit of the show. Leroy and Le-
vanion, grotesque acrobats, are especially
clever, not only in their acrobatic work
but In their comedy as we'll. Seeker,
Wilkes and Seeker offer another espec.
tally laughable sketch. Pelot, the kid
juggler Lester and Jermain, and num-
ber OF others contribute. Taken alto
gether, it is an exceptionally pleasing
aggregation.

WILL LEAD SOCIETY
Prominent Position Assumed by
the Vice Presidents Wife.
The Roosevelt House VIII BECOME
Washington's Social Center, ON
Account of MRS. MckinIey'n
state of InvalidiAm.

The accompanying picture of Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt is the first that
has been given for publication. Few
men in public life have managed 10
keep their domestic affairs from the
enterprising reporter as successfully
as the new vice president has done.
Those who know the Roosevelts Say
that Mrs. Roosevelt, and not her dis
tinguished husband, deserves the
very decided character, and has never
had any desire to figure in the much
exploited series of unknown wives
of celebrated men," In her own
circle she is power; in her own
home an undisputed ruler. But she
is in no sense a public parsonage,
and does not care to pose as such.
The governor of New York led quiet
life, socially, and Mrs. Roosevelt's S
Albany sojourn was marked by no
brilliant functions. In fact She spent
little of the time in Albany, prefer
ring the comfort of her beautiful
country home at Oyster Bay, Long
island.
As the wife of the vice president
of the United States, says the De-
troit Free Press, Mrs. Roosevelt will
be obliged to assume prominent
position in the world, and it must be
said for her that she has yielded to
the inevitable with grace and dignity.
Mrs. Roosevelt was Miss Filth
Kermit Carow. She is now about rs
years old, and while not beautiful
woman, possesses unusual attractive
ness of face and figure. She has an
unmistakable appearance of racial

EAsTER-TIDE AT ATLANTIC CIT,
Frequent Fast Trains via. the Phila-

From all indications the number of
Spring sojourners at Atlantic City will
by Easter Sunday exceed greatly that of
any previous year. The various health
ful pleasures and the ever changing
boardwalk promenade" on the most
facinating boulevard in the world, com
bined with the pure invigorating salt
air, render one day or longer trip there
beneficial to both mind and body.
To accommodate travellers the Philadel-
phia & Reading Railway has arranged
to increase the number Of fast, comfort
able trains leaving Chestnut street and
South street ferries at frequent con-
fenient intervals.

The shadows in the valley.
They gather grim and gray;
We needs must pass their darknesa

It waits on every way;
But from the heights descending,
o soul, be brave and strong,
And make the valley shadows ring
Unto the hilltop song!
The shadows in the valley,
They gather gray and grim.
But all their darkened roads go straight
From mountain brim to brfm;
And now the heights ascending,
The. way beyond you long,
How steadfast sounds your faithful chant.

distinction, and has also the simple,
gracious manners of truly aristo-
cratic woman. She dresses extreme
ly well.
The Roosevelts are not rich, as
riches are counted in these luxurious
days, and the vice presidential salary
of $4,000 year will come a long way
from paying the actual expenses of
the family during the ensuing four
years. The rent of the vice pres-
dents house alone, which he has
leased furnished, will represent an
annual expenditure of $4,000. 1t can
be readily figured that the remain
ing $4,000 year will not go far in
the vice presidents station Of life.
Financially, the position of governor
is much letter than that of vice
pre- esident-indeed the difference in
monetary worth represents yearly
sum of $4,000.
The Roosevelts will not be able to
give receptions where $4,000 worth
of orchids are provided, nor will
their cotillon favors be jeweled snuff
boxes,s or similarly useful objects,
but that their invitations will be
eagerly sought, and their hospital
ity genuinely enjoyed, no one doubts.
The strenuous New Yorker has se-
lected for his Washington residence
the large house, corner of Seven
teenth street and Rhode Island ave-
nue., owned by the present minister
TO Spain, Bellamy Storer. When the
vice president looks out of the win
dow of his new home, he may see
opposite. in the next block, the house
presented to Admiral Dewey, and
which was afterwards turned over to
Mrs. Dewey and then to the admirars
son. Secretary Root lives in the
same square, and many senators live
near by, so the neighborhood is very
/ fashionable.
Gov. Roosevelt had a chance to
show what kind of a presiding officer
he will make almost as soon as he
had been sworn in as vice president.
President McKinley's call of a special
session of the senate to act on APP
continents, etc, :, necessitated the
immediate reorganization of that
body, and the vice president natural
| ly at once assumed the gavel which
had been handled by Senator Frye,
of Maine, since the death of Vice
| President Hobart.

= BECAUSE SHE LOVED HIM SO.

At the Grand Opera House. St. Paul.
because She Loved Him So,' which
will be seen at the Grand the coming
week commencing Sunday night, is
without the slightest trace Of impro-
priety: The complications, although
diverting in the extreme, are absolute
when we recall some of the risque in
dignities of French farce seen in this
city in the: past. It is quite likely
that the original comedy exhibited
some doubtful phases, but Mr.. Gillette
has eliminated every Objectionable fea-
ture without weakening the comedy
as a whole, feat which is usually be-
yond the skill of adapters. Perhaps
it is not too much to say that he has
added several clever, original touches,
since the crisp humor peculiar to all
his work is in evidence.
However, as this may be, the COM
edy in it's present form must take rank
in purity, finesse and artistic treat
ment with "a Pair of Spectacles,"
which it strongly recalls without pos
sessing any identical complications,
and any play good enough to receive
such a comparison possibly deserves
both consideration and respect

AuctiOned OF.

A Aummified Daughter of Rameses II.
Auctioned Or
Unlike good wine, princesses of an
Gent Egyptian lineage do not appear
to increase in value with time; at
least, that was the experience of one
of the daughters of Rameses H.. when
she was offered at auction by Mr.. J. c.
Stevens at his well-known rooms King
street, Covent Garden. Perhaps this
was because she was unable to put the
dots to the is and the crosses to the ia
of the auctioneer's eulogy of her vari-
GUS interesting points, a circumstance
not to be wondered at, considering she
has been dead and murlmifed since
circa, 1888 B. G. But in spite of her
antiquity, the eager crowd of bargain
hunters at Mr.. Stevens wonderful sale
probably knew more about her. in
some respects, than she had ever known
herself; for the X-rays of modern
science had been brought to bear upon
her cerements,. with the result that
photographs Of the body beneath had
been obtained showing the position of
the bones. In spite, however, of this,
there seemed to be no particular de-
mand for her remains; and if her
spook happened to be pervading the
fragrant neighborhood of Covent Gar
den at the time it, must have had it's
feelings hurt at seeing the Tot go for
ten guineas. Rameses II. is reputed to
have had "a good many children, but
that would scarcely account for the
fact that daughter of him, who stole
mems hearts nearly thirty-three CEN
turtles ago, should have fetched only
ten guineas. And she. was remarkably
well preserved, too, and inclosed in a
neat casket.-London News. T.
