the Salt Lake theatre. All of those
who have heard of the favorite old ac-
tors success in New York in this, his
new piece, as Well as those who renem-
Der him in previous plays. will look
forward with great anticipation TO his
appearance here. There was always an
indescribable charm about the kalo-
yard stories of Ian MacLaren, and II
is said that in cOrrelating these into a
play the dramatist, James Macarthur,
has even intensified the Scotch atmos-
phere. From this, however. IL must
not be supposed that THE Bonnie Brier
Bush contains too much Scotch .dia-
lect IL Is a well known fact that even
the humblest Highlander is grounded
in the rudiments of education. The
patois, therefore. is always sufficiently
pure to be easily comprehended. Mr..
Stoddart brings with him the same ex-
eellent supporting company which so
ably supplemented his efforts IN New
York and helped TO make The Bonnie
Brier Bush" one of the biggest sue
eesses of the season.

A TRIUMPHANT RETURN.

The return of the Imperial family
and court Of China to Picking is an
event of historical Importance. 1t
marks the end Of an episode, and Chi
nese court life win roll along as if the
episode had never been. 1t was thought
that the damage done by the allied
forces when they occupied the Forbid
den City, and the dissertation of the
temples and the private parks would
have had humiliating effect upon the
Imperial family. It certainly has not
had that effect, for all traces of the
dissertation have. been swept away, and
the occasion of the return of the En-
peror and the Empress Dowager to
Peking has been turned into a gorgeous
barbaric pageant redounding to their
glory far more than the Medieval pa
geant Of the coronation of King Ed
ward VII win rebound to his.
In matters of this kind we have to
consider the effect upon the minds of
the people. The return Of the Chinese
court has been triumphal as far as the
people can see. The foes which had
occupied the city had very evidently
returned to their barbarous countries,
helped perchance, by the clemency of
the occupant Of the dragon throne.
Through miles of kneeling Manchu SOL
diers the gorgeous procession wended
its way. A few scattering barbarians,
chiefly women, We're allowed to perch
on walls and other points of vantage,
like little boys at a country circus, so
that they might get a chance of seeing
something of the show
Then one must view the religious
side. When the troops came into Pc
king the priests fed, as priests have
fled before other barbarians i'm Euro
pean history. And when the Barbara
ans have gone there has been a great
return, and lustratous and cleansings
and singing Of Psalms and TIE Deums
and the certainty in the minds of the
priesthood that a special dispensation
of Providence had been vouchsafed to
them, and that they and they only
whatever their "ism" might be were
the chosen Of heaven. The Buddhist
priests who returned with the Chinese
court win be satisfied that they and
theirs are the chosen Of heaven, and
will make the average Chinese believe
it too from Shanghai to Kiachta, and
from Picking to the remotest Western
frontier Of the empire.
