THEATRICAL.
"Nathan Hale"

The Lyceum will open next Tuesday
night with presentation of Nathan
Hale. The play of Nathan Hale is
Hale. The play of Nathan Hale" is
almost n true study of that noble young
mans life. The first scene opens in the
school-room at New London, Conn, dur
Ing the troublesome times of 1775, where
Hale was the teacher, and you follow
him from the moment he hears the news
from Lexington of the outbreak of the
war and arouses his pupils to enlist in
the cause of liberty, then through the
love episode with his sweetheart. Alice
Adams. His determination to go into the
British line to secure the desired infor-
nation for his commander, General
Washington; his experiences on Long
Island and his announcement by Major
Fitzroy. through whose instigation he
was brought face to face with his sweet
heart. Alice Adams. who had been sent
for with the hope that she would recog-
nize him. thereby booming him to the
ignominious fate of IA spy. She had, how
ever. been previously warned and re-
fuses to acknowledge that he is Nathan
Hale. He then makes a sensational cs-
cape. only to be reaken, and is con-
demned without trial.
His last farewell with Alice is one Of
the strongest scenes ever produced. and
at its conclusion he is led to his doom,
where, in the old apple orchard, he ut
ters those ver-to-be-forgotten words,
II only regret that l have but one life to
lose for my country

Moonlight Maids.

1t is claimed that in the point of lavish
ness the production of "The Moonlight
Maids" which comes to the Star for three
nights commencing on Monday next is
entitled to much praise. There are three
scenes used in the entertainment, Il coun-
try village. the dressing room of Il circus
tent and the interior of II Partisan pal
ace. The story of the burlesque is not
over important. 1t concerns one Miss
Vandersice who falls heiress to large
fortune and also falls into the arms of
an impecunious circus agent, who, at
once. proceeds to relieve her of the re-
sponsibilities of taking care of the cash
for the more onerous duties of Queen
of the Arena She gets away with
the Act" and the agent gets away with
most of the coin.
That the patrons of the Star will en-
joy it is one of the safest prophecies
made in some time. Matnees will be
given daily at $50, evenings at S.15
Evening prices will be charged at the
Monday Gabcr Day. matineec. as on all
other holidays. Seats now on sale at the

a one per cent. tax on the gross re-
ceipts per annum in the limits of the
city. This rate Is to be increased one
half per cent. annually until 1909, when
1t will be three per cent, which 1t will
remain until 1912. when 1t will be made
three and one-half, and remain this
until 1916, when it will be changed to
five per cent. and remain five for every
following year.

ing of Scranton street, from the gas
