"THE pROPHECY" 4 STRONG PLAY
New Drama by the Author Of - Message
From Mars"

LONDON, Dec. l3.-An Interesting play
was quietly produced last week Tor sIx-
night run at the Grand Theatre. Fulham
1t was The Prophecy romantic drama
n five acts. by Richard Ganthony. the
author Of A Message from Mars" 1t
seems strange that the second play by an
author who had written such success as
the Message" should not have been pro-
duced at one of the big Yves, f I'd theatres.
But after seeing il at Fulham one may yet
expect to see it, after "A certain amount o.!
alteration, in more fashionable quarter
Of theatreland.
The scene is laid in Sweden toward the
close Of the seventeenth century. The
play tells a fresh and powerful story Of
two brothers. The brothers are twins,
strong. hearty huntsmen. whose love is
centred OH each other and their widowed
mother Fishing and hunting are the sole
outside interests OF their life. To the softer
charms Of life, and especially TO those OF
woman, they are utterly ind rerent. The
elder brother, Daniel, was born when the
sun was in full eclipse. He is dark and
rough, Of a strong, overbearng nature.
The younger, David, born half an hour
later, when the shadow had passed from
the sun, is fair and Of n genter sp.rt. The
dreamer and the poet an, latent in him He

she may arouse Daniels jealousy and 40

David has succumb I'd to her charms at

his love She then tries to qusncn the
love that has so suddenly and too ardently
sprung up in David's breast, and in a short
scene Of coo,ietry makes him ridiculous

was in full eclipse. David half an hour later
when the shadow had passed from the face
Of the sun. The prophecy Of the wise
woman Of the village had been that the
shadow that was on Daniel at the moment
Of his birth should not pass away until once
more the sun had been hidden and revealed.

his death. The sun shines brightly on this
last meeting, but even as Daniel appears II

A furious scene between the brothers ems

his brother. now that his brother should
slay him. and again that thew should fight =
for in accordance with the terms Of their
oath his brother must do his bidding. At
last the two men are gripped In deadly
struggle with knives drawn. The over.
shadowinR Of the sun calls their attention
and they watch the eclipse. followed by the
temperance Of the sun. Daniel recognizes
that this is the fulfilment of the prophecy,
his angry mood falls away with the departing
shadow over the sun, and he calls upon
his brother to do his bidding, that is, to take
Winelfin, whilst he. Daniel will 60 seek
glory in the wars.
The chief strength of the piece lies In
the skill with which the author makes one
accept a woman who now declares her
love for nebrother and in another moment
is in the arms Of the other. The idea
however. of her love being practically for
one man, though the qualities for which
she loves him are divided between the two,
lie sufficiently inculcated. and. fortunately,
the actors were equal to the not easy task
OF portraying all this. In the strong
situations there were passa gees OF really
fine writing, and opportunities that would
give the most subtle of actors full scope
for their powers, On the weaker side u
the play the faults are such al could be
easily remedied. The comedy relief might
be omitted or he brought more properly
into the picture, To insist on putting on"
the eclipse OF the sun is also an error. One

like a gorgeous moon, and II distracted

interesting things Certainly II was eclipsed

the courage to be serious and. with little
alteration. which should include the ex-
clusion Of the eclipse. which would be
sufficiently indicated by frightening and
lowering the ordinary stage lights, would
prove welcome change to the many
weak wigmaker-cum scene painter dramas
that are put npon the London stage.

This statement was made by the fore
most beauty specialist Of Paris. a man
who has devoted his time and that of a
dozen assistants to woman and her face

During the past five years he has in
terested himself in the contour of the fea-
lures and. since beauty culture BECAME a
business. he has added TO his staff several
men and women who understand the shap-
ing of the features.
These assistants have studied in Vienna
where limbs are Strengthened and in Lon
don. where the complexion is like the peach.
and they have also taken a course in the
St Petersburg beauty parlors. where
women's hair is made to glow and to glisten

HOLD THEIR LOTS.
Douglas Citizens Win an
 Important Case.

Last Monday morning Judge Brown, of the U. s. District Court, rendered a decision of much importance to large part of the people of Douglas City. It was in the case of the Tyee Consolldat- ed Mining Go. against the lot owners on large part of the land between the saw mill and the Treadwell line.
 The Tyee company patented in 1890, and at that time and, in some cases, for many years prior to that time, the property above mentioned had been held and occupied by the present hold CTS, yet for a peroid of ten years from the date of the location of the mineral claims by the Company and in some cases even from the date of the patent, the Company failed to give the settlers any notice of their claim to the land. So it is that Judge Brown has decided that the Tyee Consolidated Mining Co.,. have by their failure to give such notice within the period of time provided by law, forfeited all rights to the property claimed by the settlers.
 While the decision by Judge Brown was simply upon a point of law, and of course did not involve any sentiment, yet there are many people who are fully prepared to applaud the position taken from an ethical standpoint.
 Men who become actual settlers up on piece of ground and improve 1t and build their homes upon it and live there for any where from 10 to 20 years, feel that they should, in justice, own the ground, especially in Alaska.
