1T TIE TEMPLE Or JUSTICE
Week Has Been Devoted TO The
Trial Of DAMAGE Suits.


The court has been engaged this

being watched with good deal Of
/ interest.
The Houston d Texas Central
Railway company VS.. p. Mcnamara

the melancho1yDane. This year Mr. Sothern is successfully presenting Justin Huntley McCarthy's If 1 Were King" with Miss Cecilia Loftus as his leading lady.
 After speaking of people that have climbed, thought comes to mind of the play Miss Amelia Bingham has on the road this season, s'The Climbers.'' y The play is not a pleasant one, dealing as it does with people that are bend- ing every energy to climb, not to ex- alted place in any legitimate profess sion, but into ssfour-hundred set" It is very up-to-date, and is said to represent phase of society actually in existence, but we repeat it is a morbid, unwholesome affair.
 A vain and aspiring widow of hum ble origin, who has succeeded in marrying into fashionable society. puts forth all her endeavors to gain social recogni- ton. One daughter sympathizes with her mother in Ter social aspirations and aids her in her strivings to gain entrance to upper tendon. Miss Bing- ham plays the part of another daugh- ter. Mrs. Sterling, noble woman mar ried to a moral coward. Her husband, who has become entangled in Wall street dealings, appropriates what funds he can lay his hands on; first those of his family and then those of his clients. His wife, assisted by Ed ward Warden, friend of the family, makes heroic efforts to save him. Mrs. Sterling and Warden are thrown much together, and fall in love with each other; but Mrs. Sterling will not give way to weakness, and, though the play is supposedly picture of modern so- ciety, we are spared a scandal.
 The Climbers" which opens with a funeral scene and closes with sui eide, is most decidedly not cheerful play. The reason it has drawn such large crowds is not because of it's mer- its, but is due largely to the fact that Mrs. Bingham is such a finished act ress, and also because she has grouped about her such an array of talent. Miss Bingham is not only good act ress, but is also good manager, choosing a strong cast to support her rather than a weak one to serve as background for her shining. Miss Bingham, like Mrs. Fiske and Miss Crossman, travels independently, is not under the wing of the theatrical trust. THE ASTROLoGER.

inently before the London public, and accomplished by genius when closely allied to unremitting industry.
 Julia Marlowe and F. H. Sothern have won their way step by step; nay, sometimes only by half-steps. No meteoric flight has been theirs, though all well-dowered at birth with good wit and fair looks. Eternal begging away at the technique of their art, eternal study and devotion to their aim, has been their experience. But now they stand we'll up that toilsome ladder of fame and can look back long ways to the bottom rung whence they started.
 Julia Marlowe can point to no one morning when she woke and found herself become famous over night. Repeated failures tried her mettle well before she attained general favor, and more than once were the discourage ments such they well-nigh oyer- whelmed the talented girl.
 But Miss Marlowe was fortunate in the possession of friend, an actress named Ada Dow; one that was also her sternest critic and exacting teach CT. Miss Dow, believing the girl had future before her, determined to fitly prepare her for it's requirements. Four years she kept her in seclusion and at hard study. In the morning the pupil was at work learning a part, and in the afternoon had to undergo the trying experience Of acting the part before her unrelenting critic.
 Theun, after all this serious prepara- tion, all this arduous training, the act ress went forth to a public that was worse than critical, one utterly indif- ferent. If Miss Marlowe had not been wholly devoted to her art, this recep- tion would have destroyed her faith in hr teacher, her past meritorious efforts, in all honest work; but she possessed the undaunted soul of the artist, whose sublime belief in herself is the last part of him that dies, and struggled on. In 1887 her Parthenia in ''Ingomar" met with considerable success. In Shakespearean roles she afterwards made & reputation, her sRosalind in ''As. You Like It. being very generally applauded, and also her conception of Imogen in ''Cymbeline." New York, however, refused for years to acknowledge her superiority, but at last, in 1898, the metropolis paid

her homage when she presented a play from the German, '.The Countess Va 1eska.'' Her more recent successes have been in Barbara Frietchie" and "When Knighthood Was In Flower" in the latter making her greatest hit.
 Miss Marlowe has had to pay for her public triumphs the high price of do- nestle infelicity, the cause of separa- ton from her husband, Mir. Robert Tabor, being assigned as jealousy on his part of her success on the stage.
 Sothern came of stage folk, his fa- ther being an actor of note. But the father did not wish the son to follow the theatrical profession, and set him to study in an art school in London. The son, however, had the stage fever, and at 19 began, in q very small way, his stage career. In England and America he fought his way; engaged in what seemed a losing fight, some times so poor he actually went about hungry. At the end of nine years struggle as an obscure actor, he be- gan to see glimmerings of better things, and in>18s8 made q decided hit with ''Lord Chun1ey.'
 In "The Three Musketeers" his suc- cess was phenomenal, and he became the swashbuckling hero we generally regard him as-although his last years fine production of Hamlet" has given us quite different idea of Mir. Sothern's powers, even the veteran critics lauding him in the portrayal of

CARNEGIE AND THE rHEArER

Andrew Carnegie in the Theater Tor January explains why he will not help to establish an endowed theater. For some time it has been stated in various quarters that Mir Carnegie ap- proved of the general scheme-a thea ter independent of box office considers lions. dn which the classic plays
 should be regularly performed and new plays worthy of it's boards pro- duced and which should become the permanent home of the finest stock company in the United States. SIr Carnegie, it was stated, was ready to endow such a theater, and a journal recently went to he length of stating that a national eater, with schools in all department of scenic endeavor would have an important part in the National university the iron master has offered the District of Columbia. The Theater asked NIr Carnegie to confirm or deny these rumors. and has succeeded in getting definite state ment from him. MT Carnegie says >ae does not consider it proper field for private gifts, and argues that if the experiment. were to be made, it should be by government, as in Flu rope.

aSassa s.s glHE last few weeks money Eaa R has been going for Christ
 l mas presents instead of for lasssz&s zaszal theater tickets, and right glad beats the heart of the the atrica1 manager that the 25th of December is over with for this year. As far as financial returns are con cerned, the theaters the fortnight pre- ceding Christmas might as we'll as not be closed.
 But one must keep ones company together, and make pretense that all is well; though stars of brilliant light shed their radiance on rows of empty seats, the funny man has but few souls to move to laughter, the song and dance folk do their turn be- fore a disheartening number of vacant chairs.
 Even the famous English artists, Irving and Terry, felt the frightened purse-strings to some degree during their late Chicago engagement, but there has been in consequence no dim mutton of effort on the part of these artists. Irving showed wonderful vitality and versatility in his work in the windy city, one day appearing in no less than four different roles, and no one of them an easy role. But Irving has ever been an indefatigable worker, and is yet in the possession of an amount of energy and vim that many younger man might envy. For B years MT. Irving has been prom

Fifteen Miners Entombes

ISHPEMING, Mich, Jan. S.-Fif- teen or more men were entombed by a cavein in the Negaunee mine last even- ing, and it is feared all will perish The work of rescue was begun with out delay, but at latest reports none of the entombed men had been brought to the surface. There are two shafts to the mine, but it is believed all chance for escape was shut off when the cavein occurred. The manager Of the mine cannot give the names of any of the imprisoned men. Relatives of the workmen surround the opening of the mine and are anxiously awaiting developments.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

Sugimoto's Royal Japanese troupe is proving a genuinely sensational at traction at the Jacques, and the at- tendance so far this week has been up to the phenomenal figures of last week. The troupe performs the most marvel ous feats Of gymnastics, juggling and aerobatic, and in all that 1t does is showing itself a most decided nov city. It has certainly made good all that MT Poli promised for it in ad- vance, and no one will dispute the claim that it is the most popular at- traction that MT Pon has yet offered us since he assumed the direction of the performances at the Jacques. There is an accompanying bill that contributes well to maintain the re- markable character of the entire per formance, very amusing acts being in- troduced by SissGn and Wallace, Yorke and Adams, Brannan and Martin, the Brownings, Daly and Devere and Dudley and Ormes, while the vita graph pictures are of unusual interest. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees. all ladies 10c; evening prices for all. 10, 20 and 30 cents.
