The Press Club March," by Lee b.
Grabbe. and published by the Grabbe

TALES OF The ARE

The play of Held by the Enemy
brought William Gillette into promi-
nence at Il single bound. 1t made his
name a power in theatricals, and the
Frohmans were quick in binding him
in a contract for years. While Sher-
lock Holmes and Secret Service are
from his pen. Held by the Enemy"
is considered his masterpiece. The
public demand the play. Its thrills,
it's comedy and pathos reaches every
heart and this effort at dramatic art
will ever stand as a true American
play. It's great power to attract is
still evident. and the constant demand
for its production led td its being
booked as among the first of attrac-
tions. 1t is to be at the Illinois thea
tire tomorrow evening.
Manager Cox, of the Illinois thea
tire. last evening gave the daily paper
carriers of the city a treat and n
large delega ton of them responded
to his invitation to occupy two rows
i'm the balcony reserved for them at
RIP Van Wrinkle" given by the Van
Dyke & Eaton company.
Speaking of the society comedy
darma For Home and Honor" which
plays the Illinois theatre next Mon
day evening, the Philadelphia Enquirer
says:
For Home and Honor a drama
in four acts. by Lem. Il. Parker, was
produced at the Standard theatre
last night for the first time here.
Original in theme and cleverly con-
structed is Lem. Parker's melodrama.
The story of the play concerns the
experiences of Margaret Mordaunt,
who has been betrayed by n man she
thought her husband. When she
learns the truth the heart broken
girl leaves the man and begins life
anew. subsequently she marries n
lieutenant in the United States navy.
She is in the midst of her happiness
when she is confronted by the man
who has caused her so much misery.
There is further trouble for the much
harassed heroine. of course, but the
curtain finally falls On her complete
I triumph and the utter rout of those
who wished her harm. The char
acter of Margaret Mordaunt received
careful and conscientious treatment
at the hands of Minnie DiNon-Parker.
the capable leading woman. Miss
DiNon's portrayal was consistent
throughout. Perhaps the greatest
compliment that can be paid Lem. Il.
Parker is to record the fact that the
gallery took so kindly to villiany as
to hiss strenuously.

breaches SERMON TO MEN.
Ye Through the Streets of
Jerusalem and See If Ye Can
Find a Man." the Text.

The Reverend ]. V. Coombs of Indianapo-
lis. Ind, who has been conducting a series
of revival meetings at the Fourth Christian
Church during all last week. preached yes
terday afternoon a special sermon to men.
taking for his text the somewhat striking
statement In jeremiah v. /, Kun ys
through the streets Of Jerusalem and see II
We can find a man." The melting was large
~ attended. and Mr.. Coombs said, in part:
The prophet seemed to convey the ldea
that in the great city of Jerusalem IL WaS
difficult 10 find a man, a being That woulo
measure upon all sides a manly man. what
was then scarce is not now plentiful. what
was true of Jerusalem is true of most cities
to-day The standard Of morals in the
cities will shape the standard OF the whole
country. Were il not for the pure plooa
from the country poured into our cities eV-
cry month they would rot in fifty years.

try boys rise up and take control. Diogenes

a two-legged animal without feathers Di-
ogenes pulled the feathers off a rooster and
tossed It into the academy, saying, There
is one of Plato's men,
Il am not here to tickle your fancy or
say vulgar things. 1 am here to call you
to noble lives. Men, you will largely shape
the social life of the community. What
you are, society will be: You make society.
Let me state briefly what constitutes a
man.
This being. in order to be called a man,
must have a tender conscience. / empha-
size tender. All have consciences, but some
have consciences that are dead. and they
nave forgotten to bury them. Some men do
the meaneyt of things and then say they do
it in all good conscience. / presume they
do, for they have no scrupies. In olden
times they wore sandals. When a pebble
slipped between the foot and the shoe. it
would make most men limp. But here is a
fellow whose foot is calloused. He can have
a dozen pebbles in his shoe and not limp.
So some men have callOused consciences.
Do you remember the first time you did
