NEW YORK, Dec. 4.--Of course,
the opera was the thing in New
York last week. Mr.. Grau gave
Verdi's "Otello" as his first Offering
of the season at the Metropolitan,
with Alvarez as the Moor and Mrs.
Games as Desdemona. The papers
gave a column to the performance,
and three columns to the occu-
PANTS of the boxes and a descrip-
ton of their dresses-which is
about the proportion New York de-
SireS, and shows the relative i'm
portance to New Workers of the
two sides of the event. The COM
pany this year is almost as strong
as last, and the season will of
course be a successful one, for the
swell set has taken all the boxes
and Fifth ave. closets are filled
with gorgeous gowns.
The dramatic event of last week
in New York was the first view in
the city of Audrey" the dramati-
zation of Mary Johnston's book of
the same name, in which Eleanor
Robson made her first appearance
as a star. In spite of the counter
attraction of the opera, Madison
Square theater was filled to the
doors on Monday night, and all the
real first-nighters were there. The
play will be success, and so will
the star. The atmosphere of old
Virginia in days of SO years before
the war for independence has been
successfully transferred to the
stage, and the characters are care
fully and truthfully drawn. The
story is a familiar one, and the
dramatization is an unusually good
one.
Miss Robson herself made an en-

The RAILWAY WORLD.

The Great Northern railway is
making improvements in the terri
tory surrounding the Spokane
headquarters. Eight construction
trains are in the field.
1t is reported James j. Hill Is
trying to divert the transport trade
from San Francisco" If he is sue
cessful, it means that Seattle will
be the leading port.
The Northern Pacific company
denies that owing to several acct
dents it has ordered in all train
orders used by the conductors for
inspection at headquarters. The
officials claim all Geographic orders
are sent to the superintendent at
the end of each trip.
In Seattle Is street car tickets
are sold for 81. Portland is after
the same concessions.
The Oregon Water Power &
Railway company has recently pur-
chased a shipload of rails weighing
5000 tons from Liverpool, England.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fee system has established reading
rooms at all terminals for it's en-
ployes.
James H. Barrett, general super
intendent of the Chicago & Alton
railroad, has started a system of
advanced training for the applicants
for various positions on the Chi
cago & Alton.
The Brotherhood of Railway
Trackmen are in session in st.
Louis. The representatives cover
the United States and Canada.
The railway unions are OF the
opinion that their interests would
be improved considerably by COM
merce representative in the govern
ment in the way proposed in the
presidents message.
The New Mexico Eastern railway
will run from Portales to Rio Puer'
ces, N. M, opening up rich timber
lands. Three thousand men will be
employed at once in its construc
ton.

phatic hit. She has long been a ia
vorite with New York theater-
goers, all Of whom were glad to
welcome her as a star. Her Au-
drey is a sweet and delightful bit
of work, and she not only grasps
the opportunities given her by the
playwrights, but makes others for
herself.
Her supporting company, includ-
ing as it does such actors as
James L. Wilson, Frederick Perry,
George Woodward, Forest Robin
son, Ada Dryer and Felene John
son, could not be bad. 1t is better
than that; it is unusually good.
Liebler & Co. have staged the play
magnificently, and have left undone
nothing could add to it's success.
Word comes from Boston that
Clyde Fitch's new play, THE Bird
in the Cage" is not an unqualified
success. Boston papers, while ad-
hitting it's cleverness-Fitchiness
is not a bad word for it-brOadly
hint that it is tiresome and not
wholly satisfying. 1t is a simple
love story of poor girl with three
lovers, who becomes engaged to a
rich one, only to tire of him and
run away with poor one. Of the
performance there is nothing but
praise, for the cast includes such
clever comedy actors as Guy Bates
Post, Arnold Daily, Grace Hender-
son and Jennie Satterly, while Ed
ward Harrigan reappears on the
stage in a part that reminds the
auditors of the old days of Harri-
gan's theater. Sandol Miliken, a
musical comedy favorite, makes
her first appearance in the legiti-
mate as "the bird" and will be
praised for her good looks.

Where shall we look for the women
who grow old? No woman on the stage

are assured by their friends that they

instead Of bemoaning his ineXpprience in

The young man himself shares the
opinion of his managers.
He longs to love and is willing 10 suf-

He is p years old, old enough ito vote
and Old enough to have loved several

1t IS an unquestiOnabie fact that an
intense emotion which arOuses the whole

But as rule genius does not 20 about
seeking such an emotion, nor does it
need to send out n scouting party in
pursuit Of an object for its affections.

artistic temperament usually falls yio-

This young woman at the mature age
