AT THE THEATER

Are You a Mason?" will open the
week at the theater. The play is her
aided as a laugh-maker and if the
promises made for it hold good it will
be hit. The piece. which was orig
inally produced at Wallack's Theatar,
New York, is an adaptation from the
German. 1t will be given by a COM
pany headed by John c. Rice and
Thomas A. Wise, two of the cleverest
comedians in their line. The story,
briefly told, is as follows:
Frank Perry, a New Yorker. in order
TO please his wife. affects to be a Free
Mason. His father-in-law, Amos
Bloodgood of Rockford, ILL.,, has the
reputation of being a high degree Ma
son, and the first serious train of en-
barrassments is preCiptated by the I'M
expected arrival of Bloodgood to visit
his son-in-law. Bloodgood, however,
has been deceiving his family for TWEEN
ty years. In reality, he knows moth
ing about the secrets of the order and
is as much embarrassed as his son-in-
law when the two meet, each supposing
the other to be deep in the mysteries
OF the craft, and each resorts to every
imaginable strategy to prevent the
other from discovering his imposture.
With this as a basis, the German au-
thors and the American adapter have
strung together a series of incidents
overwhelmingly funny. and never for a
moment tagging in interest. The piece,
in fact, is one of those bold farces of
which the German stage has furnished
numerous examples, and which seldom
fail to strike sparks. The prices are:
Orchestra, $3.50 and 81; balcony, rs and
90 cents, and gallery, Is cents.
One of the most interesting features
of the original production of Alice of
ROld Vincinnes," which will be seen at
to-morrows matinee and night, with
Gertrude Coghlan in the title role. is
the series of stage pictures presented.
In the first act the home of the Rous-
slllons is shown, surrounded by a
wealth of foliage, with waving fields of
corn, and the silver current of the
Wabash" in the background. Clouds
float idly across the sky, and after the
shower a beautiful rainbow appears.
So perfect is the illusion that the spec
tator can almost smell the sweet frag-
rance of the woods after the refreshing
rain. In the last act the same scene
is shown, but in the depth of winter,
and the final curtain falls on the hap
Ply lovers, standing in the doorway in
the glow of the freight, while the
snow softly falls

Awhile ago thoughtless people were for rain in the East had been answered in the West. Now they don't know what to say. There is so much rain that they are not sure they are not go- ing to be drowned as punishment for their irreverence. The drought in this
 region is certainly broken, and that is very mild way of putting it. It is not only broken, but the fragments are under water almost continuously. Not long ago the happy, happy Connecticut
 farmer saw his meagre crops drying up
 under the rays of steady and un- clouded sun. Now he sees what was left after that experience struggling for life in rain that is so wet and so volu-
 minous that it is matter of wonder that the rain bag was able to hold it so long. Truly the life of the farmer is
 one of serene joy. and not much more
 speculative than the life of the Wall
 street man who wonders whether hot
 air or water will damage him most. Let us persevere. We complained of the drought. That did no good. We
 can complain of the wet, but that will
 do no good. Let us rather initiate little
 Phoebe, who fell over the fence, tore
 her gown and spilled her huckleberries,
 and still did not complain. There are
 better and brighter days ahead if we can swim or wade through these. Best of all, the Glorious Fourth is near, when we can once more be reminded of the blessings of independence by the loud and long-sounding tin horn and the prevalent and cheering cannon
 cracker.

HELP W4NTED.

One result of the great floods along the Mississippi this spring will be an appeal to the rich and benevolent gov- ernment of the United States to give much money for levee construction and maintenance. The Mississippi River
 Improvement and Levee Association is already organizing campaign to that end and congress will hear from it next winter. The talk is that the Mississip-
 pi is a national river, that it's floods are
 caused by conditions outside the lower alluvial States, over which these States have no control, whereas the Federal
 government has. It is pointed out that
 if the government had exerted itself in
 the matter years ago, protecting the forests at the head-waters, deepening
 the channel and strengthening the banks as settlement of the valley lands
 went on, there would be no such danger
 as now exists; consequently the people of the lower States ought not now to be
 left to avert the danger alone and un-
 aided. During this years floods there
 have been seven crevasses in ali Louisi-

THE MOURNING STAMP QUESTION

The Postoff1ce department is just now agitated by some pretty serious ques- tions. Among them is the question of the issuance of a black stamp to be used on mourning envelopes. The red stamp isn't thought to be just the thing by those who want to mourn properly. Though the department has given much consideration to this important matter, it does not yet feel able to meet the long felt want of mourning stamp because of the rules of the Universal Postal Union, which prescribe that our lowest value stamp shall be green; that the stamp used for domestic use shall be red, and the stamp carrying foreign mail-five-cent-shall be blue. In view of these restrictions, it has not ap- peared possible to meet the require ments for a mourning stamp, as the department does not deem it advisable to print a stamp in red and also in hlaeh
 The suggestion is made that the three-cent stamp. now printed in pur- pie, might be issued in black, so that persons desiring to use black stamp upon their mourning envelope might do so by paying an additional cent It is said that the department may take up this suggestion later and act on it.
