tiful costumes Of the 18th century are the
subjects Of much admiration.
THE Eternal City" continues at the
Victoria, and the chances are that 1t may
run out the season there. Viola Allen
has attained her greatest triumph in this
play, and the Lieblers have eclipsed
themselves in the splendor of the scenic
arrangements.
The presentation of Audrey" at the
Madison Square, is filling this ample
theatre nightly. Eleanor Robson, whose
capable work in the creation of recent
roles had been received in New York
with such signal evidences of favor, fills
the leading role admirably, and the sup
porting cast could not well be better.
The Whitney Company's great civil war
drama, When Johnny Comes Marching
Home" has made decided hit at the
New York theatre, under the manage
ment Of Klaw and Erlanger. There is
every evidence of a protracted popu-
larity In this very musical production,
which is redolent of the atmosphere Of
the immediate antebellum period, and
has many a strain in it to kindle the
patriots blood, many an episode to stir
up a long dormant emotion.
Mary Of Magdala," at the Manhattan,
is being accepted at its true worth by
the New York theatre going public. A
leading religious paper thus comments
on this great New Testament drama:
Mr.. Fiske deserves praise for giving us
this winter Paul Heyse's masterpiece,
Mary of Magdala,' play which is con-
sidered by most critics the greatest
theatrical event in this country since the
production of Rostand's 'Cyrano de Ber-
gerac.' Mary of Magdala' is founded
entirely upon the Bible, and though
Christ naturally does not appear, his as
sociates and disciples do. The costumes,
the scenery, the stage appointments and
the thunderstorm scene have never beerl-
surpassed on any stage"
N. C.. Goodwin and Maxine Elliott at
the Knickerbocker theatre continue to
demonstrate their popularity in "The
Altar Of Friendship" Mr.. Goodwin's
ready and spontaneous humor, and Miss
Elliott's talent and beauty combined, en-
sure the success Of a not over ambitious
play, but one which affords them the
means of keeping the house packed to
the doors nightly.
Miss Julia Marlowe and "The Cava-
lier" will enter upon their fifth week at
the Criterion theatre, Monday evening
Miss Marlowe's individual performance
Of Charlotte Durand is one of her most
fascinating and pleasing creations, while
The Cavalier is as great a success as
the charming actress has ever made,
judging from the demand for seats which
extends four weeks in advance.
"a Chinese Honeymoon" continues to
go along merrily both at New York and
Philadelphia, and the critics Of each city
are satisfied that the company appearing
in their particular city is by far the best.
That IL the strongest kind Of a compli-
ment for the delightful musical comedy.

Faithful Moro Husband.

In a village IN the Island of Siminol,
just south of Bongoa, lives an old Moro
who so loved his wife, and, strange to
say, in this polygamous community, his
only wife, that, when she died, he
watched her grave long beyond the ap-
pointed time, after which he had his
house built yer her burial place, and
there lives to this day, still faithful to
the moldering bones beneath him. Sure
ly a proof that great love sometimes
stirs eve savage breasts, happening in
a country where polygamy is not only
recognized, but encouraged, and where
women are bought and sold by the
pound. Considering the environment,
such love is on a par with the idyllic at
tachments of history and fiction.-From
Tales of Tawi Tawi, in E~varybody's
Magazine.

SEPARATED
Some Perth AmbOy People have
Learned how to get rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the backache
until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are well and strong, the
rest of the system is pretty sure to be in
vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney pills make strong, heal
the kidneys.
Mr.. James A. Brown, painter, of 701

Women Doctors in Algeria.

A Paris dispatch to the London
Times, says that the Algerian govern
ment has entered upon the interesting
experiment Of providing native women,
who are prevented by their social GUS
toms from going to ordinary doctors,
with free consultations by qualified
medical The French colony
is thus following the example set by
lord Dufferin in India in organizing a
medical service for the zenanas, and by
Austria-Hungary in Bosnia and Herze-
govina. In each village where the
Mussulman population is sufficiently
large the government proposes to es-
tablish a lady practitioner, providing
her with the necessary medicines and
instruments, and giving her a salary
proportionaro to her work. Applicants
for these positions must be provided
with diplomas either as doctors in medi-
cine or officers of health.

Sequel to the Tragic Death of March,
Rogers in Vermont.

A dispatch from Bennington, Vt, last
night says: Mrs. Mary Rogers was found
guilty today of murder in the first degree
for the killing of her husband by chloro-
form on August IL, 1902. The defense Of
fered no evidence, except denial, calling
no witnesses
Mrs. Rogers, who had been buoyed by
the hopeful assurances of her counsel, was
terribly affected by the announcement OF
the verdict, and as the words of her doom
were pronounced trembled violently, then
listened like one dazed to the polling of the
jury and sank into a chair in utter col
lapse She was taken sobbing hysterical-
ly, to a cell in the jail.
Tuesday next was set by the court for
murder in the first degree is death by
hanging.
Leon Perham. indicted conJointly with
Mrs Rogers as an accessory to the muir
der, having become witness for the
prosecution, was permitted to enter a plea
of guilty Of murder in the second degree,
the penalty for which is imprisonment for
life He also will be sentenced Tuesday.
The story of the murder has been told In
The Star. Mrs. Rogers, who had been
estranged from her husband, formed a plot
with Perham to lure Rogers to a night
meeting on the bank of the Williamoosac
river by a pretended reconciliation, where
Rogers was bound, chloroformed and
thrown into the river.

Rogers returned to the house where they
were living together Levi Perham, q

fed had declined to help her in the crime

the acts of his administration differ, but
there are two things which most heartily
indorse. / indorse the establishment of the
department of the gulf and most heartily
indorse the recognition of the independence
of Panama, which means the construction
of an isthrnian canal, a thing in which We
as southerners, are most deeply and most
vitality interested. 1t is not and cannot be
made a party matter. We want the canal
and we in a fair way to get it. and If
we do not get it now it will be our own

OPPOSE CHANGE IN NAME.
Col. Biddle's Suggestion Regarding Re
quest Ma1e by Citizens.

4NSS w SAsA@OASs
The Mt. PNasaM Citizens Association
recently wrok tdAthe Commissioners re-
questing that bid 18th street be called mt.
Pleasant aveh&e" instead of mt. Pleasant
street" arguing that the term stree is
not in keeping Wit the dignity of the sec
ton. The Il Eine& department however.
does not seensfo Zee with Inc association
relative to the Significance of the words.
In this connection Col. Biddls, Engineer
Commissioner. recommends .ha- the asso-
citation be informed the word street or
place" is more appropriate to a street only
three blocks in length and eignty~five feet
In width than the word avenue" While
other Streets" says the Commissioner, "of
much less Importance than Mt. Pleasant
street has been called avenues las, for ex-
ample, Scott avenue, one block in len2t
and thirty feet wide, running from Bright
wood to Whitney avenues) they were so
named by the property owners in laying out
subdivisions at a time when tne Commits
sioners had no control over the selection OF
names.
"It seems to the Commissioners that it is
out of proportion to the names of great
avenues, such as Massachusetts avenue,
Pennsylvania avenue, &c, to give snort
narrow thoroughfares similar designations
Following the custom OF the founders OIL
the city is the wisest policy.
LAS to the name street being undig-
nified. the Commissioners would remark
that there can be no finer thoroughfares
than K, 10th, North Capitol, East Capitol.
