This: That for the comforts of life
 she has sold herself, that her name
 is now uttered lightly, with little
 show of respect. .s
 Poor Iris! Poor, ,<luxury-Ioving Iris!
 No honest man. now wants her for
 wife, and the men who have sought
 her society of late soon show their
 interest was but 1eeting.
 The rich man that has paid most of
 her bills the last two years becomes tired of her. Not only tired, but fairly loathes the sight of her; so
 one night, with curses and (they say
 such things happen) blows, he drives
 her out of his presence. She goes
 out into the night. Where? The
 curtain falls. The playwright leaves you to picture the end for yourself. All smiles and pleasure we find the Iris of the early scenes; very fearful and emotional the Iris of the later ones And perhaps it is thus MT. Pinero conveys the moral alluded
 to by MT. Sothern. Perhaps the tears and the castingcut are meant to give another illustration of :'the wages of sin is dcath." It may be, but why l should tue woman always point the moral? Why not have the man that has eaten the forbidden fruit for
 once also be driven out? Somehow
 or other Mir. Pinero, with all his cley-
 erness and originality, persists in giving the old trite illustration; the
 wages of sin is death-to the woman. Miss Virginia Harmed (Mrs. k. II. Sothern) has been on the stage ever since she was q mere slip of a girl. Her notable successes, previous to her work this year in the role of Iris i Dellamy, have been made in the parts of Trilby, Lady Ursula and the role of Pauline in ''The Lady of Lyons
 In 'Iris'' it is agreed she has found character better suited to her per sonality than any she has yet DOT 1 trayed. THE AsTROLOGER.

and tempting sparklers are displayed before her eyes by this same man. She is used to the richest and most fashionable apparel, and all this the man stands ready to bestow upon the weak woman. She puts aside thoughts of the absent lover, begging away for her in the land of dollars across the water; she accepts the at- tentions and conditions of the man in the field.
 Iris, who had once queened it in society with such easy grace, begins travelling the downward path. She explains herself in these lines: Lone, poor, weak, sordid Iris, who must lie in the sun in summer, be- fore the fire in winter, who must wear the choicest lace, the richest furs; whose eyes must never encoun ter any but the most beautiful ob- jects-languid, slothful, nerveless, in capable almost of effort. Do you re- member the story of the poet Thom- son and the peaches? He adored peaches, but was too greedy to await their appearance at table and too in dolent to pluck them himself, so he used to stand propped up against the wall upon which they grew, and with half-closed lids bite into the fruit as it hung from it's tree. Ha, ha, ha! No image could give you better notion of my habits and disposition.
 Iris lover returns after. two years, stronger, manlier; eager for union with her for whom the labor has been undergone. What does he hear concerning Iris? Her whom he had been picturing as faithful and true2

the gentleman quite drubbing, and also did what he was able toward the Whitewashing of Iris" As remem- Der the letter, the argument was the much-used old one; present evil on the stage, but do not present it in an attractive light. Then those of the audience who are good will want to be better, and the bad will be moved to abhor that which is bad. Of which, we must confess, we are not wholly convinced.
 We'll, what is the story of Iris ?" Something like this: Mrs. Iris Bella my is beautiful young woman, gra- cious, generous, of kindly intention. She is sweet and pleasant to all, both superiors and interiors; and even after the fatal weakness in her char acter becomes apparent, one cannot. help being fond of her. She is so tactful, so careful not to hurt the feelings of others, she certainly is very winning. At first the only shadow of a defect we notice in her is her luxuriousness; her softness, if we may so speak of it. She wants to have all harsh, hard things shut out from her life, desires to know noth- ing of their existence.
 Now we descendants of the stern Puritans realize that this is really a fatal defect, does not make for any strength of character. And poor Iris Bellamy was not strong. 1t did not seem to make any difference whether or not she possesses the strength SC long as she was rich and shielded, but when diversity and temptations came, then what mettle she had was tried. Her fortune melts away, and Iris faces the fact that struggle lies before her. She knows it will go hard for her, so unsuited, so un- trained for anything of the kind, but VOWS to walk bravely hand in hand with poverty. She is in love with 2 man that has been used to all the luxury of London's high life, but who has no fortune of his own. When Mrs. Bellamy's money takes unto it. self wings and flies away, her lover ! resolves to go to America, and in that fabulous land pick up gold for him. self and his fair lady. He departs, and Iris stays behind.
 Both expect her to be patient and constant, and poor Iris is not equal to it. She wants soft nest, and it is offered her by rich man present in the field. She is used to jewels,

MT. Plnero the greatest English dramatist since the time oi William Shakespeare; others look upon him as the man that sends out plays which should never see the light of day.
 MT. Pinero is clever, wonderfully so, but he certainly does present to the public view lot of degenerate men and women, the beholding of which, it seems to us, does not make for any great good.
 Of the play "Iris' there has been considerable of a controversy of late. A certain Chicago pastor denounced ''Irfs" from the pulpit, spoke of it's immortality and of what a pity it was the theatrical trust should impose such works as it does upon good act resses, who must take what is offered them and say nothing.
 Whereupon the ire of MT. Sothern, Virginia Harned's husband, was reused to the extent of talking back"
 In an open letter to the newspapers MT. Sothern frankly told the reverend gentleman that the latter did not know what he was talking about, and added that charita bleness, gentleness of judgment and investigation in the cause of truth, were things that men of his calling ought to be particu- larly strong in, with emphasis on the ought In fact, MT.

Sultan of Morocco Has Taken the
 Wind Out of Prctender's Sails.
 TANGIER, Morocco, Jan. 5.-Accord- ing to official news received here from Fez, the adroit move of the sultan in bringing his brother, Mulai-Mohammed, to the capital has attained the desired object of depriving the pretender to the throne of his prestige, and the latter has retired, Giscredited, to TaZa. He has been deserted by number of the local tribes, who dispersed to make sure of their booty.
 Buhamara, the pretender, having claimed the intention of enthroning Mulai- M ohammed, his rebellion has no sultan has publicly reconciled himself with his brother and Mulai-Moham- med has mace a solemn entry into Fez, acclaimed by the populace The sultan has announced the appointment of Mu- lai-Mohammed as governor of the prov ince of Fez, thus disproving the rumors that Mulai-M ohamned aspired to the throne.
 When this had been done, according to the official authority for these state ments, the tribes around TeZ swore fidelity to the sultan and denounced Buhamara as an impostor whom they would prevent from coming to Fez.
 All immediate danger has disap- peared The routes from Fez to the coast are open. It is said the sultan is now preparing a large expedition with the intention of crushing the rebellion.

WILL THE SHOW GIRL RETURN,
Effort to Bring Back Big Local Fa-

1t will be remembered that when Edward Everlasting Rice brought his
 Show GirT' to Polls few weeks ago the town was all atblaze the day after with enthusiastic comments of her beauty and the talents of the merry comedians who helped her entertain. Since then she has been stirring Ros- ion to the depths, renewing engage

It is MT Rice's intention to take The Show GirI' to Cuba and the West Indies about the end of this month, and Manager Jacques, knowing this, went to Boston to-day to try and induce him to favor Waterbury with one more visit before his departure. Should he be successful in persuading MT Rice to come back to Waterbury for a night with ''The Show Girl" an lfouncement will be made immediately on his return
