Hyperion Theatsr.

Kathryn Ostermans new five act play, Miss Petticoats," dramatized by George T. Richardson from the novel, is the history of a mill girl who be- comes a countess. Its scenes are in a city of mills, called New Bedford and a city of millions called New York. As a first step leading to her development Agatha Renier-she is the girl of the title--stops a pair of runaway horses at the risk of her life. The team has been purposely frightened by Agatha's mill mates, angry at a reduction in wages. Behind the horses rides the woman who is part owner of the factory. This is Mrs. Copeland, and she practi- cally adopts, under the pretense of em- ploying her as secretary, the girl who has saved her life and caught also her heart fancy.
 After this, pending her triumphant good fortune when a dying grand father in France bequeaths her money and title, "Miss Petticoats" has a troublesome time with Mrs. Copeland's s insolent nephew and the too eager gos- sips of New Bedford. She has a sturdy defender in the person of a rational and athletic young parson who plays a good game of billiards, can handle his fists scientifically and is quite as straight as he is up-to-date. Other characters in the play are well drawn, particularly those of the old sailors who haunt the sHarpoon,'' where Agatha lives with her American grandfather before going with Mrs. Copeland. Miss Osterman will give the play a splendid scenic production and has associated with her a capable company of thirty four people. Miss Petticoats" will be seen at the Hyperion on Friday and Saturday, Septemebr Ii and 12, There will be a matinee Saturday. Seat sale opens Wednesday,.

Grand Opera EIouse.

Already the interest manifested broadcast among our best theater-go- ing people over the coming of Theodore Kremer's strong melodramatic appeal, ssFor Her Children's Sake" to be seen at the Grand opera house tonight and Tuesday and Wednesday nights, has been sufficient to predict one of, the big gest ovations ever seen at this local tneater. The author has followed up his successful '"The Fatal Wedding with this brand new hit and fairly bids to outde it's predecessor from every standpoint. Managers Sullivan, Harris & Wood, have spared neither expense or pains. Carefully mounted by skilled experts and staged under the personal direction of the author the outcome is assured to be the most complete organi- zation touring this season. The source from which the play takes it's title is held in reserve, and something of inter- est is left to the imagination. The story is too intricate and involved with plot and counterplot to admit of de- scription, and any attempt would be doing Mr.. Kremer an injustice. The play must be seen to be appreciated. There will be holiday matinee to-day and the usual matinee Wednesday.
 Howard Hall in his stirring melo- drama, "The Man Who Dared,' comes to the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week. A cage of wild African lions is one of the features of "The Man Who Dared.' The hero, gentleman of France, en- ters the cage with these wild beasts, lashes them into a fury, picks up a glove that has been thrown there by his rival, who wishes to see him killed and retires from the cage. As the lions are spirited animals, and as they have already caused considerable trouble, it is believed that in the course of time he will be seriously injured; but MT. Hall is not worrying about the pros- pect. The play. five act melodrama, of which he is the author, has been the most successful he has ever produced, and has broken the records for attend- ance, in many of the theaters in which it has been seen this season as well as last season.
 The drama is well put together; the incidents eleverly grouped and the lines

have won; often they have lost; new
ertheless, he has persevered, through
victory and defeat, in doing what he
considers duty. He has not even
sought patronage or endeavored to
have his legal dues RENTED or re-
duced. He has been, in fact, an ideal
citizen.
On the other hand, there is the cit

citizen who never votes because
politicians run for office; the citizen
who always votes and always votes
for professional politicians; the citi-

tons, but not at primaries; the citi-

list too long to specify.

impulsive marriage, not approved by
the sober second thought of either.
When she went on a tour he remained
behind, and thus the breach widened

When Fanny Davenport bequeathej

Again and again it was announced
that they were about to carry out
Miss DavenpOrt's wish, but Miss
Walsh smiled imperturbably and re-

In time even Mcdowell wearied of

sphinx-like silence, and married a mi

WILL SETTLE ALL ISSUES.

Former Attorney General and Unit
ed States District Attorney Patrick
Winston. one of the most picturesque
characters in the West, will soon
launch a new 'eight-page weekly pa
per in Spokane, to be known as Win
ston's Weekly. Winston was one OF
the leaders of the fusion movement
in this state in 1896 and was on the
winning ticket, doing effective work
on the stump during that memorable
campaign. In 1900 he returned to
the party of the gold standard and
special privileges for trusts and pre-
sumably his paper will advocate re-
publican policies. Just what he eX-
poets to accomplish with his personal
organ can best be judged by his own
prospectus in which he says:
The paper will be absolutely in
dependent and entirely free from out
side control. Everything pertaining
to the American citizen, either in this
world or any other, will be explained,
analysed, calculated, discussed, dis
sected and made so plain that the
wayfaring man, though a fool, need
not err therein There shall no
longer be a single person within the
range of this journal who shall be able
to say, 1 do not understand this or
that political, financial, moral, re-
ligious or social question: The col
umns of the paper will be open to
anyone to express in good English his
or her ideas on any subject.
In addition to original editorials
the paper will contain all the news of
the world of Importance. commented
upon and explained; also original and
contributed articles on nature, art,
science and literature: on internation-
al, national, state, county and city
affairs; on charitable, penal and edu-
cational institutions; on capital and
labor, and on the irrepressible con-
fiict that will always be waged be-
tween them; on pessimism, optimism
and philosophy; on the conflict be-
tween nature and all the races of
men, and on the conflict between
the men Of one race and those of
another; on the merchant, the soldier
the sailor, the farmer, the banker
the professional man, the laboring
man, the tramp, the beggar and the
vagabond; on law and medicine; on
riches and poverty, On vice, virtue
and crime; On-but it is best to let
the paper speak for itself if an anx-
ious public can await its appearance"

might ask himself how often he has
failed to vote at primaries and regu-
lar elections, how often he has voted
in accordance with the dictation of
party leaders, how often he has voted
for strict party candidate, a profess
sional politician, in preference to
candidate of excellent character and
ability, how by following this course
he has injured his city.
Following this examination, he
might ask himself What is my duty
to my city and why should I perform
it, Having investigated this thor
oughly, it woul be well to make a
firm resolve to vote at every primary,
to vote at every election, to work for
the nomination and election of good
officials; to condemn incompetent
and Enthusiastically officials, to COM
mend honest. capable officials, to
urge public improvements, to indorse
strict Interpretation of the laws and
to speak we'll of the city on all oc-
casions and at every opportunity.
Every citizen, rich and poor, has
public duties. If every citizen will
perform these duties, good govern
ment will be permanent, advance
ment will be progressive and reform
will be unnecessary. In the United
States the people will be the govern
ment, in all branches, SO long as the
republic endures, and their will must
be supreme. They can give munici-
palities good government and pre-
serve good government No matter
how perfect the organic law of a
city may be the government will not
remain at a high standard unless
good citizens take active interest in
public affairs.

BLANCHE WALSH DIVORCED,
Wife of Alfred Hickman Tires of Wed

San FranciscO.-News has reach

vorce has been granted Blanche
Walsh, the actress, in her suit against
Alfred Hickman, to whom she was
married in 1896.
While Actor Alfred Hickman was in
this city last May with the Runaway

theater, stories We're published that

Miss Mayo denied the alleged mar

there was considerable talk subse-

WOULD CURB MONOPOLIES.

Federal Judge Grosscup Of Chicago,
has some very wholesome ideas re-
garding corporate mOnopolies and he
does not hesitate to express them at
every favorable opportunity In an
address before the Lutheran assembly
at Dixon, Illinois, yesterday he de-
clared that the reason why deposits
in savings banks increased $4,000, 900,
900 last year was because the labor
ing classes were afraid to invest in
corporation securities, as polite
swindlers and high up rascals were
able to subvert the laws and give to
stocks a value that they do not real
ly possess"
I'VE can never go back to the days
of our bOyhood, but we can go back
to the days when the man with $100
did not have to hoard it or entrust it
to his neighbOr for safe-keeping but
could put it into industries, sure that
it would return with earnings. What
should be done? Change the laws so
that no set of men can organize a
corporation except on strict legal
basis. Then put it under such SUI
pervision as the national banks are
subject to, and l believe that little by
little, the immense boarding in the
savings banks of $4,000, 900 900 will
be trickling into ownership again."
