THE THEATRE.

y simple everyday succession of
events, and a series of pictures of
life in old Virginia, make up the in
gradients employed by Hal Reid in
his new play, Roanoke" which will
he presented at the Illinois theatre
next Sunday night. The play aims
at once to the realistic and melodra-
matte with mixture of comedy.
Last season Roanoke" was great
success, and this season it has proved
to be one of the strongest plays of
its kind ON the road.
Miss Anna Ev; Fay, who is playing
an engagement at the Illinois, has
received copy of a paper printed at
Sioux City, Iowa, where she appeared
last week, containing the following:
Miss Gertrude McKaig, daughter
of Rev. Il. y. McKaig, pastor of the
First Methodist church, and Mrs. {.
L. Barnard, of 313 Allen street. are
among the many residents of Sioux
City who are completely mystified
over the work of Miss Anna Eva Fay.
Miss McKaig attended the per-
forInance of Friday evening and her
question was as To the whereabouts
of Il stickpin she had lost. Miss Fay
told her she would find the stickpin
just where she had left it. in Il dress
which was hanging i'm closet at her
home. After the performance Miss
McKaig proceeded to look for the
stickpin and found il in a dress which
was hanging i'm Il closet, lust as Miss
Fay had told her.

that she had put il in Il book. but she
did not know what book. She went
To the opera house one evening dur

where the lock of hair was. Miss
Fay told her about having lost her
child and informed her that the lock
of hair would he found in "a book. the
location of which book she explained.
Mrs. barnard made a search for the

cost OF operation did not exceed $50
per month, thus leaving a surplus Of
about $1O0 per month. The plan
is therefore eminently practical.

An Interesting Review of His Trip tc
and Stay at Hot Springs.

An Interesting Review of His Trip to
and Stay at Hot Springs.
SHEAF EDITOR II will try and give a
brief description of the Springs, baths,
treatment, cost of treatment, etc., as
some of the readers of your paper
may be interested. The ownership
and control Of the Hot Springs, of
Arkansas, by the United States Gov
ernment, is absolute. Congress took
possession of them in the year 1882,
and it retained around them a reser-
walton of about 1000 acres, ample to
protect them from all incroachments
Its desire to control them was to pre-
vent a monopoly by individuals. It
was set apart by this act as "a Nat
ional Sanatarium'' for all time and
dedicated to the people Of the United
States to be for ever free from sale or
alienation, the Government, their
owner and sponsor, guaranteeing the
people against hardships and wrongs
that might result if they. were left in
private hands. The government
scheme Of improvement at the Hot
Springs has been going on for years.
Its income from the water and other
rentals and from the sale of city lots,
(which it reserved when it took pos
session of the Springs) has all been
spent on the reservations until now it
is one Of the most beautiful spots be-
longing to Uncle Sam. Arching and
covering Hot Springs creek for dis
tance Of a mile through the centre, of
the city the building Of the army and
navy general hospital; it comprising
a most beautiful group Of buildings
on the southwest corner of the Hot
Springs mountain, and admitted to be
one of the finest in tbs world of it's
kind, and most complete in every ap-
pointmeDt.
One of the mostimportant improve
ments at Hot Springs, made by the
Government is the system Of drive
ways and walks ion the three noun.
tains comprising the reservation, these
were begun about fye years ago, and
are now practically completed. In
all, the drives are about twelve miles
in length, and now cover every point
of the Hot Springs Mountain, and
north and west Mountain. To my
way Of thinking the most beautiful
sight is the Government work on the

front of the reservation, east side of
Central avenue, the principal thor
oughfare Of the city. About one half
of the bath houses are situated on
this part of the reservation, and is
known as Bath House Row. Along
the front is broad concrete promen-
ade with shrubs and trees on either
side. Back are the bath houses, and
between them at intervals are stone
stairways leading up the mountain
side. The mountain side for several
hundred feet has been beautifully
parked and planted to shrubbery,
and climbing vines. Entirely separate
from the mountain parks is the Lake
Reserve Park in Wilmington avenue,
which consists Of artificial lakes, pa
vilions, drives, arbors, etc. In all the
improvement made one is impressed
by solid, substantial manner of all
improvement made by the Govern
ment. Massive granite posts at the
gate-ways, majectic marble fountains,
inscribe with the name of the Secre-
tary of Interior under whose admins
tration the work was done. Here we
find the names of Hoke Smith, Sims,
Noble and Francis. Aside from the
bath house in connection with the
Government Hospital, is bath
house under the direct supervision
Of the Government, free to all persons;
FIVE or six hundred persons of both
sexes, ,bathe there daily free of cost and
the government indorses the hot
waters for a long list of aliaments.
There seventy-two hot water springs
with an average temperature Of 135
Fahrenheit. They discharge one
million gallons per day. There are,
all told, at Hot Springs, twenty three
Bath Homes, which pay the Govern
ment for the priilege Of using the
water. About one-half Of them are
in connection with Hotels and SAM
tariums. In Architecture they are
very tasteful and some elegant.
They vary some in interior furnish
ings and equipment, and on this based
the difference in charge for baths.

ment rules, and five procelain tubs
