although this copy of your petition
did not reach the high destination for
which it was intended, it's words have
attained world wide publicity, and
have found a lodgment in many thou
5 1nds of minds. In future, when the
Students of history come to peruse this
document, they will wonder how the
petitioners, moved to profound indigna
tion by intolerable wrongs perpetrated
on the innocent and helpless, should
have expressed themselves in language
so earnest and eloquent and yet so dig
nif1ed. so moderate and so decorous."

Theater Republic.

Ralph Stuart and a very clever COM
pany are presenting the Master at
Arms at the Theater Republic this week
in a manner that should draw good
crowds to the Fifth-street theater The
play is a romantic drama, full Of lines
and situations that are favorable to a
display of histrionic ability, and Stuart
and his company are clever enough to
take advantage of every incident, The
scene of the play is laid in the time of
King Charles II, the Royal Idiot" who
ruled Spain in the years Immediately fol-
lowing 1852. 1t depicts the strenuous life
of Don Caesar de Bazan, who, like the
d'Artagnan of the time of Louis, was the
pcssessor OF a heart of oak. an arm of
steel and an ever ready sword. Stuart is
decidedly clever as De Bazan, giving to
the part of the devl-may y-care Spaniard
just enough vim and spirit to raise the
character above the level of the ordinary
hero Of meodrama, and at the same time
so portrayng De Bazan that the au-
dience thought him worthy of a recall
and applauded until the curtain was
raised TO give a chance to see De Bazan
in the attitude Of a conqueror. There are
four acts to the piece and at the end OF
each a curtain call was given. In each
instance the recall was deserved. not only
by Stuart, but by Joseph Eggenton, who
took the part of Don Salluste de Bazan
the hero's cousin, whose villainous
schemes kept Don Caesars sword arm
busy. Frank L. Camp was the idiotic
monarch to the life. and Charles Inslee
who played the part Of Don Pedro. the
Kings favorite, did splendidly. Mary
Horne. Mariana, handsome peasant
girl who attracted the amorous glances
of Charles, and won and returned the
love of Don Caesar is very clever ac-
tress. She is an Eastern production. as
is also Eleanor La Sale. who took the
part of IneZ, Maritana's sister, and did so
in manner that she won the applause

performance with credit to himself and
with justice to the great drama. The 9th
ers of the cast did fairly we'll, but their
work was hardly comparable to that of
the leaders. The stage settings are elab-
crate and entirely suited in their somhcr
hue to the character of the production.
The costumes are also well worthy of
mention. If the attendance of the first
two nights is an adequate index. Judith
