ICE CAVES IN MAINE.
Some of Them Are Picturesque and Impressive and We'll Worthy of
 U Thorough Visit.

Be1ns C foe-- --ate- Maine abounds in caves of which the outside wo.iR knows very little. It is true there are no caverns like the Mammoth cave in Kentucky or the Luray cayerns in Nir- ginia, but some of them are very pie turesque and awe-ins spiring. The Greenwood ice caves are sufficiently interesting to be better known than they are.
 These natural curiosities are about dozen in number, Valleys cave being the largest. It is q double -storied cav ern, the lower chamber being some 400 or 800 feet in length and about 12 feet in width. The exit is at the top of the mountain. The upper chamber is very much smaller, and is connected with the first by a passage large enough for half a dozen to pass abreast.
 One of the caves is shaped like a well, and is from 20 10 90 feet in depth. There are regular steps. which wind around the sides to the bottom. Here are two chambers running in opposite directions, one of which leads nearly to Observation rock. It is called Snake passage, and to pass through it one is obliged to crawl on hands and knees.
 The other chamber leads into cav ern which is large and somewhat tri- angular, having several chambers, one of which connects with Well cave. The walls of this chamber rise upward 75 feet or more.
 In some of the caves ice may be seen all the year round, and torch-light pro- duces a beautiful effect upon the glassy ice and the cavern walls.
 There are two great rifts in the mountain, one. running northerly and Inc other in the opposite direction. These are great curiosities and attract the attention of all who visit the caves. Amphitheater cave is really a great depression in the mountain, overl coke d by Table rock, the highest of a series of rocks or lodges that convey the im- pression of rows of benches. Alto get her the caves are well worthy of a yisit-GOlden Days

to produce works which are more or less based on the doctrines of Chris tianity. Handsome prizes are award ed to the successful competitors, and to win one of these prizes is re- garded as high honor.
 The subject chosen for the recent competition in sculpture, which was open to Catholic sculptures of all countries, was that scece described in the Gospel of St. John in which Mary Magdalen appears to Christ after He has risen, and is about to approach Him when He stops her with the words: Touch me not.'' These two figures were to be repro duced in a piece of sculpture which was not to be more than 70 centi- metres high, and a gold medal wort Il 1000 lire was to be the reward of the successful sculptor.
 This splendid prize wss awarded a few days ago to Ezio CeccareHi, a sculptor of Florence and the author of a statue of Christ which won the prize at the international competi- ton in Turin last year. His new sue cessful work is entitled "Noli Me Tangere" CTouch Me Not"), and is regarded as one of the finest speci- mems of sculpture that have been wrought in Italy in modern times.

and in 'More Than Queen" Blanche
 Walsh takes the title role.
 More Than Queen'' consists of
 prologue and five acts. In the play
 the character of Josephine is much
 idealized. She is made "mOre than
 uueen" Her influence over Napoleon
 is pictured as very great, which en-
 hances the interest of the domestic scenes, enhances the pathos of her 1 deposai. We are given a glimpse of their rela tions from an ina ginary first i meeting to the divorce of the unhap- py lady, and also some glimpse of pub
 lie affairs and pageants.
 The papers are dcvoting much space just now to the regal robes of King
 Edward and Queen Alexandra of Eng
 land, and we read with awe of crim- { son velvets. er1nine too dear for an earl, jewels from the worlds mines, and picture to our minds eye the stately pageant, when by the pay
 ,nent of little coin to the doorkeep- CT we might see with real vision an other such exhibition.
 l At least outside of royal circles one
 may not look upon more gorgeous
 dressing than that presented in the ptaS Moit Hdh SISieSA, anu oilc WILL
 have to go far to see handsomer dress ing on a handsomer woman. Miss ! Blanche Walsh's beauty is of the regal ! style that is able to carry off and not
 be obscrued by splendid apparel. She walks a queen-more than queen, if i one is to judge the royal type from 1 specimens shown to-day in the news
 papers. Palaces, jewels, velvet and ermine are attendants on those that
 wear crowns; but oftentimes, it ! seems, beauty is not one of the gifts l brought by the guarding fairy to the royal infants cradle. And without
 doubt many princess, now and then
 queen, might hopelessly long for the r physical graces with which Miss Walsh | is lowered.
 1 And perhaps envy even the dresses. i Seven costumes there are in 'More 1 Than Queen' that are worth notice, 1 but we will describe only three or | four. All are made in the Josephine" 1 style = -short-waisted, 1ong-slirted. l soft and clinging. In the prologue,
 in which Josephine appears as simple 1 Mime. de Blauharnais, the gown is of l gray, but the long train edged with

Two of her costumes, the coronation one and the white and gold, are exact copies of robes worn by Josephine. The copies of the personages in the coronation scene are modelled from the famous picture painted at the time by Louis David.
 Miss Walsh has won fame early in life, to-day occupying B decidedly en- viable position on the American stag She was born in New York, in rather lowly quarters, her father being war den of the old To1nbs prison, and it was within those somber walls much of her youth was spent. Always fond of the theater, and being able to gratify her tastes by frequent at tendance thereat, she was taken with stage fever before reaching woman hood. A mere girl she made her first appearance in front of the footlights, and ever since has followed the the atrical profession. In priva te life Miss Walsh is Mrs. A1cDowell having mar ried Melbourne McDowell, late Fanny Davenport's husband.

And the "Son" Did.

It takes q bright woman to rebuke another woman's rudeness, a general statement well borne out by the fol- lowing story: A lady entered a railway train and took seat in front of a new ly married couple. She was hardly seated before they began making re- marks about her. Her lastyear's bon net and cloak were fully criticised, with more or less giggling on the brides part, and there is no telling what mi ght have come next if the lady had not put a. sudden stop to the conversation by a bit of strategy. She turned her head. noticed that the bride was considera bly, older than the groom, and, in the smoothest of tones, said: Madam. will you please ask your son. to close the window behind you? The ''son'' closed his mouth. and the bride no long CT giggled.-Chicag Times-Herald.

A NAPOLEON is always with us

NAPOLEON is always with us. AN but nowadays there is an un-
 usual Napoleohic epidemic. The magazines give us reviews of a new life of Napoleon by Lord This, or the gossip of man that knew man that had seen the great little man put on his coat. The publishing houses at stated periods put out books dealing intensively with some hitherto unstud- jed phase of Napoleon's character or career. And the stage is to the fore with picturesque presentation of man of destiny.
 In certain ways the stage has the best of it. With dress, direct speech, vivid background, living, moving men and women, it is able to carry us back to the days of French supremacy, or rather the days of Napoleon suprem- acy. We can see pass before our very eyes historic figures, hear fall from their lips historic sentences, look upon halls where every detail has been care fully copied from historic chambers, and, for the time, we forget the twentieth century, the age of com nercialism, are carried back to days of military glory. days of fanatic loy- atty to a military leader.
 At present two such plays are be- fore the public, 'LAiglon" and More Than Queen.'' The former deals with the life of Napoleon's unfortunate son, the duke of Reichstadt; the latter with the life of Napoleon's unfortun- ate wife, Empress Josephine. Sara Bernhardt and Maude Adams are both appearing in "L'Aiglon" this season

There will undoubtedly be very fine performance at Polls this even ing, when Henry Miller appears in the title role of Mrs Ryley's great play, 'Richard Savage" Managers Wag- enhalS and kemper bring the pfoduc- ton here complete. just as it was dur ing the run at the Lyceum theater, New York, which has just closed. These managers have surrounded MT Miller with a company such as is rarely seen in star organizations, including as it does such well known players as Mrs Boucicault, Florence Rockwell. Jennie I.ustaca. Arthur Elliott. Joseph Wheelock and Owen F'awcett. To all those lovers of the drama who prefer their stage plots and stories to yield some dramatic surprise. and to intro auce new characters to the spectator. 'Richard Savage will he generously welcomed. after the surfeit of plays which are q rehaSh of some popular novel or other It is true that Mrs Rvlev is indebted for the facts on which this play is built to the biogra- phy of t-Richard Savage" by Dr John son. but as few know or care who Richard Savage was. the relation of the play to book has no analogy with the dramatiZin@ 0raZc of the period.

He discovers the identity of his mother and instead of the natural affection he yearned for. meets onlv with scorn. denial and insult. It is this relationship between mother and son which supplies the dra matic even tragic. background to the play. and in it's development it is said fo bring about many thrilling situations and involve an intensity of action and interest which make it masterpiece of melodrama. That those who go to see the play will have a most enjoy able evening is very certain. for the perforInancewill be genuine dramatic treat.
