ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

There were no problems presented at the Jefferson last night, except that of the professor who had to find out that he was in love. No narrowing scenes were depicted, and frenzied emotions were forgotten. 'The Professors Love Story" is simply a literary pastel. conceived in masters brain and faithfully depicted by Mir Harry Beresford and his company. Barrie surpassed himself when he wrote the book, while Mir Beresford seems to have caught the spirit of the gentle Scotsman in the play
 Immersed in science Professor Good willie forgets to love until his dainty lit tie secretary teaches him how, and his awkward wooing makes the most delight full bit of comedy that the stage affords this season. After the silhouette love- making is finished and the beaming pro- lessor leans from. the window of his cot tage at Tullochmain, his battle won, the audience rises to leave with it's faith in the beauties of life strengthened and themselves refreshed for days to come
 As Professor Goodwillie, Mir. Beresford was capital although his mannerisms were just a trife exaggerated in the first act After that he played the part to perfection. He was ably supported Dy Miss Julia Batchelder, as Miss White, the secretary who combined real talent with pretty face and most winsome personality. Special praise is Also due MT. A Burt Wesner who played the part of Dr. Cosiens, the professors phy- sician. He captivated the audience with his realistic good humor and the jovial- ity which seemed to radiate from his person. In fact the play would have been spoiled without a competant man to fill this part, and MT. Wesner could not be improved upon. Several other mem- bers of the tropue acquitted themselves credtably. among them Miss Nellie Lin- troth, who was Lady Gliding. The comic wooing of Fife by flinders and Pete was good, furnishing a second shade of hu- nor which made the play well rounded whole,
 '"rhe Professors Love Story" is play for which it is advisable to buy seat near the stage. MT. Beresford's lines were delivered in such low tone that it would have been impossible for any one in the rear of the house to hear distinct ly, and yet it would have ruined their effect had he spoken louder.

had come.
It Is announced that bis death was
due to septic poisoning from the
wound in the liver. After the last ex-
animation Of the doctors at ii o'clock,
II wan declared there were no hopes
for Mr.. Gonzales.
A solution of formaldehyde was in
jected ut 1890 as q last resort, but
there was no Improvement In his con-
dition and as the last means to save
his life, the pbosicians made an In
lection Of one-fiftieth OF o grain Of
formaline direct into bis veins In the
hopes Of preventing blood poisoning,
but this operation also proved futile.
Mr.. Gonzales was unconscious dur.
