Gov. Shaw and Hon. A. B. Cummins.
republican candidate for governor, pay
glowing tributes to the memory of the
late President. Governor Shaw said:
For the third time this nation
stands breathless, weeping and appall-
ed at the bier of its chief executive.
Inc blow struck at the life of the
President wounded all hearts. but the
sadness caused by his death is not
greater than the >remorse that such
things are possible with people who
acknowledge no permanent national
ruler but law. and with whom justice
according to law is cardinal prin-
ciple.
THE life that has thus gone out
through violence will be the subject of
many encomiums in volumes of well
merited praise. The four and half
years during which William Mckinley
occupied the chair of the chief execu-
tive will ever be an inspiration to
those who shall succeed him. To the
records of those years statesman.
scholar, politician and economist will
turn for helpful suggestion for many
generations. To the brave soldier. the
devoted husband, the wise statesman,
the just and liberty-lov1ng chief exec
utive, as well as to the ideal gentle
man, parents will long direct their
children. To the heroic, yet calm, Sc
rene and peaceful sufferer the Chris
tian church will ever revert in proof
of what faith in God through Christ
can do for man in high, as we'll as
low state.
Nearer. my God to Thee will be
sung with gentler accent because wills.

calists and specialists In the business.
The play Is arranged in three acts,
one OF the funniest Of which occurs at
an event from Which the play takes its
title. Although there is little plot, the

the rs principals, there is a chorus Of
16 excellent voices which have been
made feature OF the production. The

"BEAUCAIRE."

"Beaucaire" is an original comedy in
five acts by Booth Harrington and
Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland.
In "Beaucalre" IL is accepted that

is engrossing, the personality eXquis-

"Beaucaire" Is not literally a drama
tlZation of Monsieur Beaucaire," but
something of the nature Of the play
may De Inferred from Mr. Tnrhngton's
charming little story though It Is a
mere scenario OF the play. The play
was conceived first The idea came In
its Inevitably dramatic form. In writ
ing his first draft the author found
himself unconsCiously making a narra-
tive etching. gave his fancy wing, and
the result was a novelette, which bids
fair to secure permanency as one of the
classics Of our language. Then he re-
sumed the dramatic form of the story
which Is 10 be first made public tomor-
row night.
"Beaucaire" Is therefore an original
play and not dramatizaton, 1t is
structurally divided Into five acts. Act
one disclosos the fashionable Pump
Room at Bath In the days when Mash

and bellies fourished blades and fans as
a fine art. The action Is only suggested
in the book Monsieur Beaucaire' S

THE MARRIAGE GAME"

CLYDE Fitch's newest play, THE Mar

as a work Of art and more criticism as
a tract, than any similar drama OF re-
cent years. 1t was produced for the
first time IN Philadelphia, and since
then the Quaker critics have been en-
gagged in a mad effort to determine
whether It should be praised to the ut
most as "A great play, or condemned on
