"Side Tracked" at the Empire.

Horatio Xerxes Booth will stop in his
peregrinations and lay over for a rest,
the freight car in which he travels
being "Side Tracked" at the Empire
Theater for this week. The play is
known as sensational comedy.
The management says the piece has
been rewritten and strengthened, and
is being played by cast of good actors.
The plot shows the true inwardness of
certain hypocritical human beings and
the innate nobility of character of a
tramp, proving the truth of the axioms:
ut is not the clothes that make the
man" and "a ragged coat may cover
an honest heart" A complete new out
fit of stage effects and scenery is prom
ised for the performance at the En-
pire.

stantial than that scored by Arthur Col
Inns "The Great Ruby play which
drew large crowds for a year to the i'm
mense Drury Lane Theater. in London.
This play will occupy the stage OF the
Lafayette next week.
From the outset The Great Ruby
was success. and so il has continued
throughout the few wears of It's presen-
tation. London at once voted a crown
of success to the play. the players and
the production, and New York followed
rapidly in the steps Of the English me-
tropolis.

net ambition and conquered Scotland,
for a time. The greater glory OF the
reign, although Edward could have
hardly realized it, was hat in his day
Wyclif arose.
The fourth Edward was born almost
a hundred a later, and came to the
throne as a result of the Wars Of the
Roses. He was Edward, Earl of
March, son of the Duke of York, the
White Rose champion, and he succeed
ed Henry VI.
Warwick, "the kingmaker," put Ed
ward one the throne, but afterward re-
instated Henry. Finally Warwick and
Henry were killed, and Edward, who,
although vain, avaricious, sensual and
cruel, was more popular than better
men have been, remained in undis-
puted possession of the throne. He
died in 1883, having reigned twenty
two years.
Everybody has read the pitiful his
tory of Edward v, a lad who was only
thirteen when his father died. The
little king was crowned, and
most of the few weeks he held his title
he spent in prison, his uncle, Richard,
Duke of Gloucester, having had him
self appointed Protector of the
| State" Soon Edwards ~eleven-year-
old brother, the Duke of York, was
imprisoned with him, and the two lit
tie princes were murdered in the
Tower.
Edward VI, another boy king, was
the son of Henry VIII, and although
he reigned-under a protectorate-
only six years, dying at the age of ff-
teen, it seems a safe prediction that
he would have been a better man than
his father. He died almost three
hundred and fifty years ago. What a
wonderland the England of Edward
VII. would seem to an Englishman of
his day!-Youth's Companion.
