RAILROAD WORLD.

As a matter of information to the gen. eral shipping public in the Alabama dis trict, advices are at hand from the lines in Mexico that the Mexican government has given a concession of an increase of 15 per cent in the rates of freight on all classes and commodities for all lines in the republic of Mexico.
 Naturally this will result in an increase in the rate from all points outside of the republic of Mexico, and will affect the rates from shipping points in Alabama.
 The advance in the freight tariffs of Mexican lines will take effect Septem- Der l. 1903.

character are copies Of his idea He has ex-

The exhibition of Psvcho has proved a very

much speculation has been indulged in as to
the identity Of the figure. whether IL was wax

seems pretty evenly divided Mr.. Van Wickle
SAYS that many inquiries were made ~ 70
whether or not the identity Of Psyche would be

moved from his own personality that the
public wonders what that personality
can be like. then he deserves the title OF

large box receipts can give.
Tbs AuctioneeT" is the work OF Lee
Arthur and Charles Klein It's central
figure is the well known East Side Jew.
Since DaviG warfeld introduced the
character on the vaudeville stage the
public has been prosecuted with in
ferior limitations. That. in itself. was
sufficient to lessen public interest in the
type. But this actors ability to charac-
terize the Hebrew as he Is. has con-
tinued this interest for two seasons.
AS Simon Levi. warheld presents a
happy combination OF pathos and com
edy. He does not rely upon the uninvit-
ing characteristics in the Hebrew mer-
chants nature for the basis OF his
drawing, but, on the contrary. presents a
phase OF his disposition heretofore al
most unknown. 1t IL the loving, the
sympathetic. the magnanimous qualities
that warfeld sketches. not broadly. but
in a subtle. searching way that stamps
him the artist Nothing could be more
affecting than his refusal OF pecunlary
assistance from his erstwhile valet nor
his sweet soothing manner OF comfort
ing his wife when they have lost every
thing. His blending OF comedy and
pathos is so artisticslly done that when
the grasping. pinching nature OF the
junk keeper crops out one feels that IL
is almost sacrilege TO laugh II is a
beautiful bit OF character drawing. and
although the hand or David Belasco may
be traced in some OF the stage bust
ness and treatment of certain scenes.
Warheld deserves the credit OF giving to
the stage a distinct and complete pic
ture OF type which has been ridiculed
too often.
The stars principal assistant through
out the play is Mrs Marie Bates. who
is so well remembered here that she
received a hearty welcome from the
large audience. Mrs. Bates assumption
OF characters similar TO the one she is
now playing. has not tended to lessen
her resources Her portrayal OF Mrs.
Easan in The Auctioneer" is only sec
ond in interest and artistic results 20
that of the star. The scene with War
field in the second act was one OF the
most amusing bits in the play.
Maria Davis contributes a good study

might judiciously eliminate much OF the
pose and elocution with which she EN-
bodies the role OF Helga. Washing
tonians will be glad 10 welcome William

the best bills offered TO patrons OF that
theater this season. One thing certain.
IL seems to please the audience more
than many higher priced attractions
which have been extensively advertised
The Freydo Brothers do an acrobatic
act which has never been equaIed at
Chase's. II is not only difficult. but. at
the same time. dignifed and graceful.
They were given a splendid reception
and showed evidence Of great fatigue
