She clandestinely meets a young army
officer who has fallen in love with the
fair Dolly simply from the fact that he
has seen the strange spectacle Of my

The guardian discovers the lovers and
compels Dolly to write a letter dismiss

substitutes another one and the old Wiz

There are a number Of very pretty airs
in Dolly Warden" the Dainty Dolly"
song, strains of which run all through
the opera, being the most catchy. The
'Twirling Whirling" duet for Dolly and
Belleville in the first act, and "The
Lovers Lane solo, being others that
are well liked. The costumes Of dolly

France set the fashion for both men
and women in their respective king
dcms. It is said that Manager F. g.
Whitney has provided q most excel
lent production of the opera this sea-
son, all the costumes and most of the
scenery being entirely new. In the COM

Lillian Walbridge and a large and eff
fective chorus
''The Two Sisters" is a series of Iiv-
ing pictures representing life in a great
city on the same simple, hOme-like
principle as The Old Homestead" pic
lures life in the country. Denman
Thompson is responsible for both, and
while dramatic effects have been sac
rificed in both for the sake Of realism,
It would indeed be difficult to decide
which sof the two is the more realistic.
THE Two Sisters" is not a dramatic
play, and the only claim made for it is
that if is a natural representation of
life in New York as it is today. 1t is
a sermon more powerful than can be
preached from a pulpit, and while In
plot and action IS 1t simplicity itself,
there is a fascination and charm about
the characters IL introduces which is
simply irresistible. 1t tells the old, old
story in a novel nanner-the story of
two girls, sisters, who left widowed
mother in the country and went to the
great metropolis to begin the battle for
existence. One follows the proper path
and finally becomes the wife Of a big
hearted, noble fellow, and the other
gees astray and sinks deeper and deep
er In the mire and dregs Of degradation
and sin, until she is about to end her
existence in the river, when she is
saved by her sister, and in her home
she begins life anew.
Such is the story of THE Two Sis
ters," but it is not the story which
fascinates, but the simple manner In
which il is told and the characters that
are introduced to tell it. II would take
columns to give pen pictures Of the va
rious quaint and queer characters in
the play, and even then the most elo-
quent pen could not do justice TO them.
Hiram Pepper is a character frequently
met with in real life, but seldom por-
trayed as thoroughly and naturally as
IL is in the play. Hiram is not an inn

 Are you tied to the city and moping be- cause you can't get a vacation, or be- cause your vacation is over? Take walk Part of the country Is at your city doorstep if you will look for 1t. Are the trees all cut down? Look up: there are clouds. Thoreau saw men feliing the trees. Thank God. man can't cut down the clouds he said; and, like the true philosopher. he took comfort tn his clouds.
 There is much more clouds to be seen in the city. Take a walk. but under stand that the legs are only two means means to an end. Use your eyes. You have neighbors in the city. Get ac- quainted. What is that darting bird? It is the marten in his Tyrean purple, the trees swallow in his Irish green. or the chimney swift in his -ooty black? Find city. where you say nothing is to be seen but smoke and stone.
 Go to the vacant lots and get acquainted with the gopher and his family Skirt the park lagoon; look out minks. They are there, though perhaps you don't be- lieve 1t.

ONLY A YELLOW roc.

No Cur So Poor But Has Rich Devo- ton for His Ma"tsT.
 Des Mofnes Register.
 That is a touching story that comes from Columbia, Mo, a man searching week after week for a lost dog. and only a common yellow cur at that. The srnartest dog in America" declares it's owner, and 1t Is no avail to tell him that it is only a common yellow cur, such as are shot in the dog-pound for non-pay- ment of taxes. It has no pedigree; no royal dog blood courses through it's veins. It is neither a Scotch collie with its tn- telligent face and the loyalty of the clan nish land 1t came from; neither is 1t petted French poodle with the excitabil- ity of the race which gave it name. No St Benard, Great Dane. bull, NewfuHd land, water spaniel. hound. or terrier. Nothing but an ordinary ugly, ornery. yellow dog, and yet that man has given up his work and is devotfng himself ex- clusively to the hunt for 1t.
 Ernest Eaton of AshIyand, H., has gone through nearly every county in the State looking for a yellow dog" says the press dispatch. He came to Columbia today having been told that a party of gypsies with a dog of that description was headed this way, but found he was on false trail The dog was stolen from MT.

 There are times when the most tactfuI of men are taken aback by some unex- pected retort Such an experience befen King Edward of England in connection with the visit of the South African con tIngent Of colonial troops to London at inc termination of the Boer war. One of the Cape scouts was an unmistakable mulatto, with 9 magnificent record for Railantry, however.

WANTS TO LYNCH HIM.

One J. F. Barnett. Of West Sunieid. Conn, is very much worked up over the performance of Mir. Dowie, and asks The Hartford Times this question;
 would like to ask, through the coi- urnns of your paper, why the police of New York allow Dowfe to proceed with his extortion and arguments of insanity in the imbeciles convention in Madison Square. Many of his followers seem to be harmless lunatics at large.
 The writer's indignation is natural, but when he asks why the police of New York do or fail to do anything. he is dealing in conundrums, for they are law unto them selves. to large extent, governed prac- tically by certain bosses who are usually grafters of the most approved pattern. But the writer in The Times grows stren- uous when he comes to propose a remedy for Dowieism. saying.
 He should be sent to prison for life. and his money that he has extorted should be given to the institutions that are now maintained by the States for the cure of such as hts followers. If the police do not interfere the sound-minded people of New York. if. there are enough left, should string him up to the first lamp post @. While he can agitate the great newspapers ana ministers he fs making his graft stronger.
 It sounds little singular to hear a Connecticut Yankee talking so openly about lynching. If it were a negro now. who was to be lynched in Aiabma for q brutal outrage, it is likely that this writer would hold up his hands in horror at the brutality of the Southern people, but he comes out very decidedly fin favor of lynching this modern Elijah. If the New Workers take his advice and string Dowie Ito a lamp post, will our Yankees neigh bors and friends boil over about lynch law?

WORK FOR ARBITRATION.
Baron de Constant Tells What is Be-
 int' Done.


 Paris Oct 2s.-Baron d Estornelfes de Constant addressed the arbitra tion group of the Chamber of Deputies today on the results of the arbitration movement. He said the Anglo-French treaty was only the first step, Denmark was now seeking arbitration without limitations and France would probably concede Den marks wishes. Treaties would soon be signed between Denmark and Norway and Sweden.
 Concerning Great Britain. the Baron remarked:

Direct Nominations.

BaItlnOfe Sun.
 Louisiana has now been added to the list of states in the South which nominate candidates for public offlce at primary elections. None of the Southern States which have adopted the primary would now be willing to abandon 1t and return to the old system under which few men who controlled the political machinery were able to dictate the nominees If this method of making nominations had been In vogue twenty years ago in the South it is not probable that Tillmanism in South Carolina, Mahoneism in Virginia and populisim in North Carolina would ever have prevailed. The primary sys- tenn in the South has tended to re-estab- fish popular sovereignty in the politics of that section and to make the people the permanent power in the selection or State and Federal officers.

They Can Talk.

Huntsville Tribune.
 There is so much the Southern people know about the negro which we have ac- quired by association. which the North does not know. that it wOuId require vol umes to tell 1t. Think of an intelligent man assuming the stupendous task of telling the experiences of life time with negroes We know too much ever to un- deFtake 1t. If the difference between what the North thinks 1t knows and what 1t does know could be shown. 1t would fill many volumes. We have been patient, would do, but what they can do.

Huntsville Republican. The Montgomery Advertiser wants the Alabama papers to include the town in which they are published in names or head. That Is all right with daiIIes, but with weeklies 1t sounds too local and most weekly papers depend more on the Coun- ty for a support than they do on the town. And then some papers are much bigger than the town they are published in.
