THE HOLY ISLE.
II Is to Become Once More a Habita
ton of Monks.

1t is strange news and stirring to the
imagination that a colony of Catholic
monks expelled from France should find
refuge in Presbyterian Scotland. Especi-
ally it is strange that the Duke of
Argyll. who comes as near to being a
Presbyterian Pope as the nature of
Scotch Presbyterianism admits, should
have sold the Carthusians the land upon
should flee to the rocks of Scotland from
their hermitage in the sunny land of
France. AS a matter of fact the change
of climate will not be so severe for the
few thousand feet, of altitude are eli
matically equivalent to many degrees of
latitude, and the Grande Chartreuse, 4.26S
feet above the sea level must be nearly
as the northern shores of Caledonia And
there is a great fitness in the flight Of
these monks to a Christian shrine which
was established almost a thousand years
Church Catholic or the word Protest
ant" had been heard in Europe as an &c
|cleSiastical slogan. For when that enter
prising Irishman st. Columbia sailed east
ward from his native island to ''evange-
lie" Scotland.
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the furtherest Hebrides,"
the broad division between Christianity
and heathcndOm was all the sanity mis-
sionary knew.
How the monks will get their livings
In their new refuge remains to be seen.
That they wild do it somehow their past
record leaves no doubt. They cannot
indeed continue to concoct that aromat-
ic, Saccharine, and vari-colored fluid
which has made the name of their bleak
and austere "Hospice" known In all the
haunts of luxury and fashions through
out the world. They may manage. out
of the scanty heritage of their new half
frozen island to make an equally wonder
full distillation. or in default of that, they
may devote themselves to the improve
ment of the existing brands of Scotch
whiskey and compete successfully with
the Presbyterian distillers by means of a
a particular appropriateness in their
flight to the early and runous shrine
which is said to contain the remains or

ADJUSTMENTS.
Audrey on the Stage.

Audrey, in the person of Eleanor Rob- son, the heroine of Miss Mary Johnston's most successful novel, will be represent ed at the Jefferson theatre tonight, tomor- row matinee and tomorrow night Set in an elaborate production and placed in the hands of a notable company of players, the drama Audrey" is one of the very best attractions of the season. Notwith- standing certain fears that have been ex- pressed. the book play is certainly still in favor if 1t is a good book play, and in fact has the great advantage in the inter est aroused beforehand in the characters portrayed. Miss Johnston's book has lent itself readily to the purposes of the play wrights, Miss Harriet Ford and E. F. Boddington. The story of Audrey abounds in clever situations and dramat- ic incidents, The success of the play at the Madison Square theatre, New York, indicates that the work has been well done.

 Through the medium of The Private Secretary" a comedy in three acts, the George Fawcett company entertained a large audience at the Bijou last night. The situations in the play are good, the lines are good and the company Is cast to good advantage. Although entirely differ ent from any previous play of the com pany here, the actors showed themselves capable of the parts, which were written by William Gillette and in which he first achieved success.
 Dewitt Jennings and Frank Gilmore have the best parts. Jennings made the biggest hit of the show, and in reality he was better last night, judging from the applause, than he has been in any Of the previous plays. For the first time he casts aside the role of the villain with more or less heavy parts and takes that of MT. Cattermole, the uncle with liver complaint. He Is just nervous and fig- getty enough for the part, and does not everyday it.
 Frank Gilmore, as the real private sec- retary, destroyed the matinee girls ideal of himself In his makeup no one would recognize him and no one would ever be-
