RACING WITH A MOOSE.
Maine Man Well Mounted Tries
to Run 1t Down and Fails.

From the Bangor Commercial.
Ernest G. Judkins, bookkeeper for
the Kineo Company, had a remarkable
experience with a bull moose on the
carriage road to Deer Head Farm, two
miles from Kineo.
Mr.. Judkins was taking a morning
ride, galloping along level stretch,
when the horse came to a standstill
with a jolt and a snort. Looking ahead.
Mr.. Judkins saw bull moose, feeding
on the tender sprouts of the bushes
growing by the roadside, not sixty
yards away. Mr.. Judkins' first impulse
was to ride the moose down, but he
thought better of this, and hooted to
attract the animals attention, and pos
sibly to brighten him from the road, so
that he could proceed, but the moose
fed calmly on. At the end of few
minutes the beast moved down the
road in search of more food and Mr..
Judkins followed at a respectful dis
lance, hooting until his throat was
hoarse, but he might just as well have
whispered as far as the moose was
concerned. This proceeding was re-
peated over half mile of road.
At the end of that distance the moose
faced about and began feeding toward
the horse and rider, casting an uncon-
cerned look in their direction every
now and then, and Mr.. Judkins' steed
did the backstep for rev rods. This
was a little too much for the horse
man and. becoming impatient, he gave
a tremendous yell to attract the at

Lillian Russell dined at Sherry's one
evening in a beautiful white lace gown
over black. The lace portion had
yoke and stock and long sleeves, but
the black silk slip was cut square in
the neck, with straps over the Shout
ders. The skirt was formed of alter
nate four-inch strips of lace, with large
roses and with made lace strip stripes.
The bodice was formed entirely of net,
with large open lace flowers and this
formed the tight sleeve caps, while the
baggy lower sleeves were formed of
the stripes. Her large, fiat, black hat
was trimmed with two huge black-tip-
ped white ostrich plumes Joined in the
center to form a wreath plume, and
with the tips dropping over the back.
Miss Ethel Barrymore has been much
in evidence at the modish restaurants

ley Shallamar recognizes IS the man
who, some years before the opening,

daughter, He prevails upon Henschs
to impersonate the Italian astronomer,
while he is being entertained, the stu
dents bring in a boy whom they sus-
pect is a burglar and who is an OBJ
ject of suspicion, because he has IN
his possession a silver slipper, which
he declares fell from the skies. The
prisoner proves to be the daughter OF
Henschs, named Wrenne, fasquerad-
ing a boys clothes.
While the origin of the slip
per is being discussed, Stella,
that being the name Of the inquisitive
young woman from Venus, and her six
sisters appear in one corner of the gar
dens. All of the men forsake their
sweethearts and fall in love with the
new arrivals. This displeases Wrenne,
who is in love with Berkeley, and she
insists that the visitors must return to
their own planet. This, she is IN
formed, they cannot do until the slip
per has been recovered. Henschs, on
hearing this, steals the slipper from
Wrenne and then, not needing the pro-
tests of Sir Victor, who claims the
visitors as his gift from the stars, he
signs the Venus girls to appear in his
show on the continent.
The story is carried over to the Neuil-
~ Fair France, where the Venus girls
are on exhibition in Henschs show.
The search for the slipper is vigorously
pushed, and after many humorous In
cidents and situations, the slipper is
finally recovered, and the visitors from
Venus return to their own planet, leaV-
ing every one on earth happy.

IN which six girls and six
boys participate. Following few
bars of gay, catchy music, the girls,
dressed in bright yellow costumes, APP

stage for a few moments, are joined
by the boys, who are dressed as watt
ers. The boys are as animated as are
the girls, and the fact that each car

from their agility. They show wine

their favorite brand with their toes;

The play is in two acts, three scenes
and a prologue. Unlike most musical

''The Cavalier is a play OF
the Civil War, with the un-
usually feature that when it treats
of the conflict it does so with South
ern sentiment. The story deals with
the fortunes of a lovely Southern girl,
who on her wedding day discovers that
her husband is a spy in the pay of the
North, and she straightway REFUSES
him with horror although she cannot
summon sufficient courage to denounce
him and thus secure his instant execu-
tion. A wedding and the discovery are
the subject of the first act. In the
second act the heroine, as Southern
spy, is striving by galantry and re-
source to compensate for, or defeat, her
husbands treachery. The latter, in the
guise of a wounded Confederate officer,
exchanged for a Union prisoner, sue
ceeds, in spite of his wife's opposition,
in obta lining a Confederate command,
and in accomplishing the death OF

sic for the first time in history. The
writing of the grand opera "Othello"
by Verdi did not reach such an ar
tistic climax, for the opera is neither
a translation nor an adaptation of
Shakespeare's "Othello." The story of
the opera is merely founded upon the
play and contains none of the great
bard's poetic imagery, while in this
instance Mendelssohn's music follows
the actual words of Shakespeare's text.

New YOrI<'s Newest rheater.

The new Hudson Theater on Fortv-
fourth street, between Broadway and
Sixth avenue, is one of New Yorlx's
handsomest play houses. Four en-
trance portals lead to a vestibule thir-
ty-six feet wide and sixteen feet deem
with wainscotting of antique marble
twelve feet in hight. A freize in tones
of green rises to the ceiling, illuminat-
ed by an unique scheme of concealed
electric lighting that is introduced with
wonderful effect. This system was de-
signed by the late Luther B. Steiringe
who devised and executed the illumi-
nation of the Pam American Exposition
at Buffalo. Experts in electrical mat
tiers consider that concealed lighting
has reached in the Hudson Theater the
highest stage of it's development and
efficacy. The first impression gained
on entering the theater proper is that
the absence of pillars-the balconies
being supported by cantilevers-the ell
liptical formation of the auditorium
and the manner in which the boxes are
arranged gives an unobstructed view
