here by Mary Mannering. Both plays
will be given by a very large and well
selected cast and with elaborate scenic
investiture.
La Madeleine" is said to be play
of today. dealing with the high Bo-
hernia of modern Paris. 1t is the story
OF poor girl horn to sin and without
any moral opportunities. who after
reaching the highest place in the half
world. is regenerated: who finds her
self through love. Camille which
it resembles to a slight extent, was
merely a story of passion. while La
Madeleine is said TO be a study in
morals, rejecting the great moral
change which has come over the civil
ICED world since Dumas first staged
La Dame aux CamelliaS" in 1852 Ma
RE Monnier, like Camille, sacrifices
herself for her lover.
The play has a powerful climax. The
young marquis is forced to marry the
girl of noble family to whom he has
been betrothed. and La Madeleine is
compelled to listen to the wedding ser
vice and learn that the only love which
society recognizes is based upon virtue
and sanctified by religion. The whole
last act is her painful struggle to ac-
cept the inevitable, TO kiss the cross
which in her passion she has dashed
from her. That she dies happily and
in contentment at last only exempIi-
fes the great and universal lesson of
religion that repentance is the price

clared that he had employed cor
rupt means to bring the negotiations

summation. The report, extracts

pointment Of an investigating COM

that the matter was privileged after
Mr.. Richardson had amended his
resolution so as to specifically in
clude members of the house. Great
excitement attended the whole pro-
ceeding. Mr.. Cannon, Of Illinois, in
sisted that Mr.. Richardson's pre-
sentation was fragmentary and that
the whole matter should go over in
order that members might read the
documents presented, which included
extracts, affidavits, etc.,
in the record. Christmas. he de-
clared, on his own statement, was q
briber and worse. But the house
voted down the motion to postpone
and the resolution, after being
amended in minor particulars, was
adopted. The speaker Immediately
appointed the following committee
to make the Investigation: Messrs.
