FIRST. PERFORMANCE. HERE
OF. a VERY NOTED PLAY

Much that has been read In magazines
and newspapers regarding The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray'' has been of such a con-
f.icting nature that theatre-goers VIII
probably show a good deal Of alacrity IN
determining for themselves the merits Or
dement's Of Pinero's heroine and play at
the Academy on Thursday, when Rose
Coghlan will appear as Paula Tanqueray.
Those who have fallen under the spell
of Olga Neshersole and AIRS. Patrick
Campbell have been noticeably strong in
their expressions of sympathy for the
second Mrs. TanqUeray. as well as for
Aubrey Tanqueray, who more than full
filled the obligations incurred by his
second matrimonial venture. as a man OF
refinement and mental culture should.
At a cusory5 glance 1t would appear.
that Aubrey Tanqueray's selection of the
ladies' who were to become the first and
second Mrs. Tanqueray was not charac-
terized in either case by the discernment
which should be a distinguished feature
of the man whose temperament is clearly
defined by Pinero. The first Mrs. Tan-
queray is described by one of the lrrev-
erent characters of the play as :. an ice
berg. Her daughter inherits the cold.
chaste purity and religious inclnations
of her mother, and selects a convent life.
Meantime. for fiftees, years, her father,
widowed with no home ties, has been
true to the memory of the mother, until,
fascinated by Paula Ray. he makes her
the second Mrs. Tanaueray, with eyes
wide open to the consequences in So
cial way.
1t would require a keenly analytical
mind to give a satisfactory soltion to
all classes and creeds of Pienero's motive
or the moral he intended to adorn hts
tory, writing this brilliant problem play
AS matter of fact it is the history Of
modern N1agdalen striving to re-estao-
lish herself in the eyes of the world by
going through the marriage ceremony
with an enlnently respectable and arts
tocratic type of man. Her effort is a
failure. owing greatly to the memory Of
the woman wildly recalling the past and
overshadowing and dominating her pres
ent. Rose Coghlan's' conception and ex-
position of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray''
makes this most complex character
known and felt. In al the moods and
caprices she is called upon to express.
Miss Coghlan displays wide range OF
methods fitting every situation Her
gowns and jewels are in exquisite taste.

Uncle Sans Great Secret.

If there is any secret which Uncle
Sam jealousy guards it is the process
of manufacturing the fibre paper upon
which money notes are printed. He
pays Massachusetts, firm forty-three
cents pound for it, and this firm does
its work under the surveillance of a
government agent. The paper is man
ufactured of the finest rags, cleaned,
boiled and mashed into pulp. Asst
is rolled into thin sheets silk threads
are introduced into it by secret pro-
cess. These are the distinguishing
marks, making imitation Of the paper
well-nigh impossible. The sheets of
paper, already counted twice and
placed in uniform packages at the
paper mill, ar. stored in a Treasury
vault and issued to the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing as wanted. Be-
fore leaving the Treasury they are
counted three times more, and the re-
ceiving official must receipt for them.
Then the bundles are unwrapped and
the sheets are counted twenty-eight
time. by a corps of women. This is
to insure that each printer gets the
recorded number, no more, no less.
If one sheet of this precious paper be
lost the entire force Of men and wom-
en- having access to the room where
the displacement has occurred are
kept in, like so many school children,
to find it. Each sheet is issued from
the vault for the printing of a definite
amount of money upon it. If the lost
sheet were intended to ultimately rep
resent four thousand dollars worth OF
notes the group of employees to whom
the responsibility of its displacement
has been traced must make good that
amount if they cannot locate 1t in a
reasonable time. The most expensive
loss which has thus occurred was Of a
blank sheet issued for the printing Of
eighty dollars upon its face.-Laales

Reports from the eight locomotive
building companies which produce all
the locomotives built in the United
State. except those constructed at the
railroad shops, show that the total
number of locomotives built in 1901
by these companies was 1884. This
is 23l, or 7.3 per cent more than were
built in 1900, and is the largest out
put for any one year since locomotive
building began. OF these 1884 loco
motives 337 were for export. Or
ders now on file at the locomotive
works show a probability that even
fewer locomotives will be exported
this year than in 1901.
