ARMY RESERVES.
Provisions Of the Bill which IL Designed
to Remedy Present Defect.

Considerable attention is being paid
by those interested In military affairs
TO the bin that has been introduced
both In the House of Representatives
and the Senate which proposes, by a
reorganization and improvement OF
the National Guard, and In other ways
to establish an army reserve which
shall be ready for almost immediate
service In case OF war, and which shall
not be open to the numerous objec-
lions that have hitherto been urged
against the present organizations or
State troops. Ii Is proposed that un-
der the new law these troops, enrolled
and organized by the States, shall be
armed uniformly with the troops OF
the regular army, shall 10 all particu-
lars conform to them 10 equipment, or
ganization, uniform and drill, and that
Tor this purpose officers OF tho regular
army, appointed by the Secretary or
War, shall regularly inspect them and
have general supervision over their
training and discipline.
1t is proposed 10 addition TO this that
there shall be enrolled, outside OF
these regular organizations, 100, 900

ence, who are to hold themselves In
readiness for any call of the govern

prepared and revised by competent
military experts, and it is believed that

YORK STATE FOLKS.
Splendid Attraction Coming Here next
Saturday.

ssYork State Folks Arthur Sidman's
charming rural comedy, will De the at
traction at the opera house, Sat. Feb.
18th. This is the play which has been
hailed everywhere as the Legitimate
successor 10 The Old Homestead,
and greater than way Down East, )
Lovers Lane and the long list of
rural dramas" 1t will be seen here
with the entire original company, and
the complete scenic production. The
company numbers 80 people. James
Lackaye, who will be remembered a.
the original Martin Berry in ashore
Acres" will be seen in the character
Of Simon Peter Martin, the village
dictator, which he created, and which
is said TO be one Of the most powerful
character conceptions seen in rural
drama. Ray L. Joyce plays the part
of the lovable old village musician,
Myron Cooper, a delightful portraiture
and the best thing this popular actor
is said to have done. The remainder
of the large cast, including Ernest
Lansom, Arthur Gregory, Harry jack
son, Randolph Currie, Osburn Seadle,
Lydia Knott Mrs. Sidman, Kate jack
son, Hilda Russell aud others, will be
seen in the metropolitan production Of
the piece. There are also two child
ren, whose acting is said to be remark
able for its naturalness and charm.
The play is aslmple story Of village
life, lacking the conventional elements
of villiany and social wrong doing but
possessing strong heart interest and
broad and wholesome vein of comedy.
Arthur Sidman took the people of a
typical "York state village and put
them before the footlighs without rub
bling off their naturalness. They come
and go exactly as they would at home,
and none of the charm or the humor
of the reality is destroyed in the pic
ture. The apparent simplicity of the
story is said to reveal the hand of a
master dramatist. The delightful at
mosphere Of the piece is sustained by
the elaborate mounting which has
been given it. There are five scenes
| from the brush of Arthur Vmgtlin
/ including a scene in country lane by
moonlight which is said to be the pref
tiest exterior which has been shown in
play of this sort. Complete natural.
ness is the note Of the whole perform
ance, and this has been followed out
TO the smallest detail IN the staging,
even to carpets, pictures, household
ornaments, etc. The production viii

FINE ATTRACTION.
Jess of the Bar u Ranch will Make a
hit.


The engagement OF Miss Alice Arch
er in Forbes Heerman's successful
American comedy drama, Jess OF
the Bar y Ranch at the Swishef
theatre next Thursday evening will
command wide attention. N0twith-
standing the seriousness OF the motive
there is ample opportunity for comedy
and the opportunity is not neglected.
While the locale OF the story and It's
theme are used to bring out novel and
powerful scenic aud dramatic effects,
these climaxes are heightened by the
lightness and liveliness OF the comedy
which intervenes. The cowboy is q

The "cow puncherp is chief fun
maker, but not the only one. The
piece Is full Of pungent humor and
healthy, hearty fun, which consti-
tutes an effective foil 10 the more
serious and sentimental scenes, while
