At the Bllou.

The George Fawcett Stock company. with Frank Gilmore, which made such an excellent impression at the BiJou a week this week, commencing tomorrow night On this occasion the Fawcett company will present two plays, each play being given for three nights and at the usual matinees. The first play to be presented will be "The Liars," and English society comedy by Henry Arthur Jones, which will be given Monday. Tuesday and We'd nesday evenings and at the Tuesday mat inee For the last three nights of the week, and at the matinees Thursday and Saturday. the offering will be "Camile," by Alexander Dumas.
 The Fawcett company by this time needs no further introduction to local theater goers. It's success in Secret Ser vice." at the Bijou, is still fresh in the public mind. The organization is known as one of the best dramatic companies ever seen here, and 1t is certainly far su- perior to many of the average one night stand companies which appear here SO often at high prices. The Fawcett com pany was organized by Manager Wells especially to appear at the BiJou tneater here and at other theaters on the Wells circuit and It's success so far shows that Mr. Wells Is sincerely doing the best thing possible to secure a company of the greatest excellence.
 '"The Liars" which will be presented by the Fawcett company during the first half of the week, Is a smart and crisp society play in which the ladies of the company will wear some handsome gowns and the men will appear in the usual evening dress and express some decidedly up-to-date opinions on society and things in general. The liars in this case are the people one meets in London society dur ing the season. With this as hint as to the nature of the play, 1t Is not difficult to believe that 1t Is a smart and enter taining comedy of modern life.
 One of the most fascinating liars is Lady Jessica Nepean. frivolous beauti- ful, charming young woman whose only

 self,
 Yea, all which 1t inherit shall dissolve; And like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not rack behind: We are such
 stun
 As dreams are made Of and our little life Is rounded with a sleep"
 Perhaps the most surprising feature of the production was the excellence of the chorus. They were not only pretty, but they could both sing and dance we'll They as well as Ariel were not wholly spiritual, but their materiality was so airy and attractive that they represented well the fairy world; and the grotesques of the play were certainly all that the imagination could readily demand
 The people of the south are indebted to the men who devised this spectacular presentation of the comedy that is as re- markable for its virtues as 1t is for the wholesomeness of its plot. The villains are all brought to the point of repentance, and then forgiveness comes in, and all ends happily in a glow of colors and scenic effects.

AN UNMARKED GRAVE.

Major John Pelham of Alabama was one of the distinctively brave men of the Confederaoy He was praised by General Lee for his vaior in memorable language. He was killed in battle when a very young man. It is painful to learn that his grave is still unmarked. It Is
 strange that neither tho relatives nor friends nor admiring fellow countrymen of Alabama should never have placed over his remains even tho simplest me- moriai slab or shaft. Daughters of the Confederaoy arc stirring this matter, and 1t ia said that the veterans of Virginia and Georgia have applied for tho removal of hln remains to ono of these states, promising to erect some worthy monu- ment over them. This may shame Ala- bama Into tho performance of her duty.

 William Shakespeare's entertaining comedy-the last work probably of his life--was presented to audiences yesterday afternoon and night that taxed the ut most capacity of the Jefferson. The great houses were pleased beyond measure by the finest Shakesperian representation that has ever been brought to this section of the country. It was in fact so fine, so full of color. that Shakespeare was some times lost on the achievements of the scene painter, the stage carpenter, the l costumer and more especially of the dec strieian. Such a production would have been impossible before electricity lent its mystic aid to the Stage. The immortal lines stood out, however, amid the splen- dor of the latter-day stage. The play is a mingling of the super natural and natural such as only the great bard could have brought harmoniously to- gether. Too much can not be said Of Miss Fassett who as Ariel was visible to her master, Prospero, and invisible to all others. To gain her liberty she had bound herself as a spirit to carry out his behests and the artistic manner In which the light dainty figure appeared on ali scenes and yet left on the audience a sense of invisibility was remarkable. She was a most delightful little fairy, who came and went in a jiffy. The theatre eoers of this town will recall her as the heroine of Lost River," in which she won no little reputation. She has deepen ed that reputation in her new Shake sperian role. The weightier acting fell on Louis James who as Caliban, devil born. and always half demon, had a most difficult part to interpret. and also upon Wads- worth Harris, the drunken butler, and Thomas 0. Cooke, the jester, who aided and abetted Caliban in all his demonry. MT. James brought out the dignity of the character, which stood in fine contrast to the coarseness of the butler and even of the jester. None of the poetry or the i'm mortal creation was lost in MT. James hands.
 Prospero Is not great part, but MT. warde put forward much of the beauty | and force of the lines. Some of his rendi- tions were especially effective, perhaps | none more so than the lines in which he l spoke of his obedient fairies. ''These our actors. | As I foretold you. were all spirits and | Are melted into air, into thin air I And, like the baseless fabric of this vis- ion,

And the best way to keep Lady Jessica from dining out with other men," says Deering to the husband, lis to take her cut to dinner yourself" That is the moral of the whole play.
 In this weeks production, Frank Gil- more will be seen as Christopher Deer ing. Grace Kimball will appear as Lady Jessica. Dewitt c. Jennings will be seen as Falkner, the lover. Lloyd Carleton and Laura McGilvray will appear in the leading comedy roles. Miss Julia Marie Taylor will have a very important part.

of the country. It was while with l.l-s concert company that Miss Cameron at tracted the attention of Jessie Bartlett Davis, who at that time was a partner in the profits of the Bostonians who was so impressed with her voice that she en- gagged her, and for the next two years Miss Cameron sang with the Bostonians,
 making profound impression wherever she was heard. When Klaw & Erlanger. the absolute controllers of the theatrical business, were making up the company to support Jerome Sykes in Foxy Quill ler'' two seasons ago, they selected Miss Cameron as his leading woman. It was during her last season with Foxy Quil- Ter" that Fred O. Whitney saw her and proposed that he send her out as star Naturally the young lady was pleased, particularly as the opera "A Normandy Wedding that MT. Whitney had selected for her, seemed to suit both her voice and remarkable dramatic ability.

WARNER HILL RoAsTs eUERRY.

Hon. Dupont Query, Mr.. Hill COM
pares Mr.. Guerry's present position on
certain questions pertinent to the cam.
paign with his past record on them. He
says Mr.. Gderry is now crying out
strongly against lobbying, whereas it
has been shown that the only instance
on record of a party being ordered
from the floor of the House on account
OF violation of it's rules against lob
bying, was that of Mr., Guerry's law
partner, Mr.. Hall, to which attention
was recently called, Mr.. Hill saws Mr..
Guerry's law firm presents the only in
stance on record he has ever heard of
where court was asked to allow fees
for the firm having gotten measure
through the Legislature to condemn
private property. He says Mr.. Guerry
now stands for prohibition, whereas his
record shows four years ago he was an
ardent and open advocate of local OPP
ton, Mr.. Query, he says, claims to
be in favor of domesticating all large
corporations, yet he asserts there are
several instances on record where Mr..
Guerry's firm as attorneys for the
Western Union Telegraph Company
had cases transferred from the state to
the United States Courts. Mr.. Hill
charges Mr.. Query within consistency
throughout, and with taking his pres
ent attitude for political effect, Tue
card is lengthy one, but makes inter
esting political reading.
