The demand for seats for The Eternal
City has been SO great that the man
agement of the National Theater has
announced a special matinee on Friday
at o'clock.
Mrs. Fiske Is actively preparing for
the first performance OF Mary Of Mag
daia. which will occur in Milwaukee,
October %.
Mary Of Magdala" is an historical
romance by Paul Heyse- The play was
presented at the Municipal Theater,
Bremen. last season with so much sue
cess that the Leasing Theater. Berlin. as
we'll as most Of the other capital the
aters Of Germany, secured the right to
include it in their repertories- When
the question OF an American production
came up, some time before the first Ger
man presentation, the author expressed
the desire that Mrs Fiske should origin
ate the role in this country.
Mrs Fiske not only possesses the
rights to the play for the United States,
but for all other EngIfsh-speaking coun-
tries. and a London production is con
tempIated after the conclusion of her
regular season.
Il is expected that Mary of MagdaIa"
will be one Of the most elaborate pro-
auctions the American stage has ever
seen. The play pictures life in Jerusa-
lem in the time Of Tiberius, when Rome
dominated Judea, and aside from the

A MEASURE OF PROHIBITION.


Judging from the way some men
have been talking in the Constitu-
tional Convention. they would have
the people believe that railroads are
run simply for the health OF their
stockholders and the good OF the
Commonwealth.
What an absurdity' Who is going
to believe that the adoption OF the
Committees report favoring a Cor
pOration Commission will drive any
railroad out of Virginia?
Those corporation lawyers down
in the Convention must take the peo-
pie OF this State to be a pack offoolS
Just as long as money invested in
railroad stock in Virginia brings its
owner a reasonable rate OF interest,
Just so long will railroads traverse
this State.
Ii railroad officials feel that their
privileges are to be circumscrbed 10y
the proposed law, they have no one
to blame but themselves.
The people OF Virginia do not want
railrOad-made Senator's or Cover
nors They propose to manage their
own affairs, and if 10y adopting meas
ures for self-protection they should
perchance drive some railroad from
the Commonwealth, the sooner that
railroad goes the better.
