ance, hurls herself onto the stage and makes known to us the reason for this new misunderstanding with her husband. She has found punches of love letters, and also, much worse, letters describing the furnishing of London flat that it would appear had once been occupied jointly by a lady. and the wretched Jim. She con- 6des in Lady Duncan-of all persons and that lady sets to work to con coct plan whereby she may remove suspicion from herself.
 She decides to whisper about stories linking togetser the names of Jim and Billie Now, Jim and Billie are cousins, and long ago, when Billie was a sentimental bit of a girl, she had written to Jim som rather sugary epistles, signed by the foolish name of Wang and foolish 1y addressed to 'Toodles.'' These are the very letters Mrs. Jim has just found. Buts of course, the flat epi- sode, Billie has had nothing to do with.s4 Jack Frere learns of the stories that are being circulated about his lady love, and, aided by his friend, s. Harry Harmon, proceeds to hunt them down to the ground. Jim, not knowing that Billie's name has been brought into the affair, runs away; to stay until his wife's wrath shall have cooled.
 Mrs. Greaves sends for the valet that attended MT. Greaves in that London flat, and tries to bribe him to tell her the name of his companion, or at least to describe her. Lady Duncan speaks to him and obtains his silence, and then Mrs. Greaves exclaims: "Oh, shall I never know who Wang was?" Innocent Billie, who hasn't the least understood what all the row was about, tells that Wang was once her own nickname, and says she wrote those letters in Mrs. Jim'sN possession. ,Whereat Mrs. Jim goestwilder than ever, and orders Billie from the house.
 Perplexed, Billie thinks her lover, too, imagines evil of her, and getting into great temper, returns his ring to him. But her lover works faithful ly to clear the name of the girl he loves, and it is needless to state that he accomplishes it; also that Lady Duncan is shown up in her true col ors. And we are all very glad to have Jack and Billie make up.' and to observe the manner of the making up. THE ASTROLOGER-

"soLDIERs OF FORTUNE. 1.

The wonderful success of Robert
 Edeson in Soldiers of Fortune" dur
 ing the two runs at.the Savoy theater, New York, is well known. and his en- gagement at PoH's on Wednesday even ing is certain to prove popular one.
 AS already told the play is a dramati- zation by Augustus Thomas of Rish- [ard Harding Davis's South American novel and is wonderfully interesting.
 The adventures of Robert Clay the Langhams, Captain Stuart, Captain
 Burke and MacWilhams in the South American republic of Olancho are un- folded by MT Thomas in four acts that
 are well calculated to hold the atten- tion of the audience from beginning to end. The OIanchian revolution furnishes picturesqueness as well as
 plot to the play, and MT Thomas has
 simplified and strengthened the love
 interest between Hope and Clay, intro-
 ducing at the same time many dexter
 ous touches of humor. MT Edeson's virile personality is admirably suited to the role of Clay The other parts are in good hands with the result that
 the performance throughout is. very enjoyable. The four scenes Claws camp at the mines. the cabin shaded by cocoanut palms, the exterior of the presidents palace aand the interior of
 the Los Bocos custom house and tele-
 graph station-are hncommonly well lset. Seats will go on sale tomorrow
 at 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

Honor to Macdonald In London.

LONDON, March 30.-The dispatch of the remains of Major General Mac donald, who committed suicide in Paris. to Scotland last night by train was the occasion for remarkable demonstration. Owing to the fact that his widow had decided that the burial shall take place at 6 o'clock in the morning, immediately after the arrival of the body at Edinburgh, hundreds of Scotchmen representing the highland societies and several Scotch members of parliament gathered on the platform at the Kings Cross railway station here. Most of the Scotchmen wore their national costumes

VIM. FAVERSHAM Nm "IMPRVDENCE'

MW MPhUDENCE' IS ClGaug .H@A, bright, interesting little l NJ G%A N play, with such nice kind | AMNzN of girl for heroine and a SS~S5SF@a very acceptable young man for hero. The part of heroine is most pleasingly portrayed by Miss Fay Davis, win- some American actress, who has won laurels for herself in England, but is just now beginning to be appreciated in her own country. MT. Faversham is a star whose refined, natural meth- od is very convincing. And the com pany as whole is above the average. The setting is English, generally a popular one among theater-goers in America. The action takes place at Harlesdon Manor. It is a society play, and all the folk are folk of high degree, save an incidental maid, a necessary man. and discreet i valet. We are first made acquainted with Harlesdon Manor at that rest full hour of the day, the hour for the afternoon tea. As it is partaken of on the terrace.
 From the guests we learn that l their host and hostess there is a house party in progresss at the manor-have been quarreling again, and that something quite serious seems up.
 After awhile in comes Lady Dun-. can, physically handsome woman, who is considered by all the men "a good fellow," and she at once begins to exert her Vaccinations right and left. Until there appears on the scene the host, Jim Greaves, in whose somewhat shady past, before his 1 marriage, Lady Duncan had played quite a part. Jim is astoundeds be- I yond measure to find her among his wife's guests, and tells her it won't do at all, that his wife is really } good sort,' and he can't allow her to be imposed on. Lady Duncan listens smiling1y to his protest, and smiling 1y assures him she intends to remain.
 In contrast to the scene between these not-o'er innocent two, is the one we are next treated to in the smoking-room, wherein Jack Frere I (Mr. Faversham) and "Billie" Marr
 (Miss Fay Davis) confess their love I for each other. Miss Marr is girlish and witty and loving, so unsuspect- ing of dark secrets and evil deeds,
 one gathers her very innocence might lead her to acts of imprudence, but never to anything wicked.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

AT THE JACQUES.
 A large audience is in attendance at the Jacques this afternoon and enjoy ing the rare treat that Manager Poli has provided both in the matter of Iheadliners and supplementary acts. The distinguished Valerie Bergere is the principal person in this week. S show, and her engagement to play at I popular prices is another indication of the close attention that Manager Poli pays to the vaudeville market. Miss Bergere, as Is we'll known, was one of Charles F'rohman's most successful fe- male stars, and many local theater- goers will recall the splendid tmpres- sion she made when she appeared with Charles Evans in Madam Butterfly iand Naughty Anthony three seasons ago at Polls. Since her entry into vaudeville few months ago she has been making something like sensa- ton and her success fully justifies the big salary that vaudeville managers are paying her. With the single ex- lception of Jessie Bartlett Davis she is the highest -salarfed woman in Arneri- can vaudeville to-day, and 1t is a fact that the salary Manager Poli is paying her this week would meet full one half Of the entire cost of the most expensive show that he has ever yet put in at the Jacques. The accompanying bill presents a splendid lot of vaudeville acts, including in the list of players being such notab1es as the Onri Fam l fly of jugglers. Barry and Halvers, CFaudius and Corbin. Dwyer and Ed monds and others. Prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents: afternoons 1O' and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Of engaging personality, extremely graceful, he is an ideal ell tertainer. In sleight- hand or palm ing he stands alone, not equalled by any person who performs magic Tn this branch of his art he has invented number of new tricks, which cannot fail ..ro please his admirers. Aside from his wonderful sleight-of- hand feats he has secured in Europe several sensational illusions. among which arc Ehe .'Princess Mahomeda," a most mystifying illusion, and Voyage In. stantaneous,' aa{Chinese mystery, one of the most talked about tricks of the Asiatic conjurers.

encouraging nature. The Ladies' So

and it is expected that this can be
wiped out in q short time.
