From s'The New Dominion" at the Met
ropolitan.
Old, in that it has been seen in st.
Paul several times, yet new in it's
piquant lines and chivalrous senti-
ments, '"The New Dominion" presented
by Mr.. Clay Clement, graced the stage
at the Metropolitan last evening, the
only performance scheduled here for
this season.
"All the world loves a lover" and
that the sympathies Of the audience
were with Mr.. Clements Baron Hohen-
stauffen was demonstrated again and
again when the action of the play
turned in his favor.
The New Dominion" is a bright,
clever conception, and is filled from be-
ginning to end with clever sayings and
uplifting sentiments. AS presented by
the present company, it loses nothing
of it's native humor and daintiness,
although some of the roles have been
in better hands during previous pre-
sensations. AS a whole, however, the
company is satisfactory.
Mr.. Clement makes of his Baron
Hohenstauffen a man whom one loves
instinctively, an ideal gentleman. His
struggles with the English language
are at times grotesque and mirth in
spring, but never ridiculous.
Miss Mignon Oxer as "the flower"
Flora May Randolph, presented well
studied Interpretation of the part, and,
although not the most satisfactory
Flora who has appeared here in the
part, was wholly consistent and pleas
ing.
Most of the cleverness of the play
not allotted to Mr.. Clements character,
emanates from Mrs. Josephine Du-
laney, a cynical widow of youthful
years and appearance. Miss Alice
Willard, as the dashing widow, pleased
the audience, and won much applause
through the reading of several of her
speeches.
Mr.. Clement, recalled several times
at the close of the third act, responded
to the gallerys demand for Speech"
gave a rather clever dissertation on his
inability to make speech, which well
filled the requirements and allowed him
to step out of the character.

In the case of man who had been
awarded 80 600 for the loss of leg by
railroad and who had appealed the
case. deeming the compensation too
small. Chicago judge has decided
that artificial limbs should be accepted
as part recompense for the loss Of II al
ones. During the trial, on appeal, wit
nesses were introduced by the railroad
who testified that though supplied with
artificial legs they could get around as
| lively as persons with real ones, could
dance and ride the bicycle. To this test
mony the appellant strongly objecttd d,
whereupon the court handed down this
ruling:
Art and invention have done much
to mitigate the Inconvenience Occa-
sion d by the loss of limbs and to restore
the power Of locomotion and the earn

During recent years the progress
made by artificial limb makers has
been wonderful. An interesting story is
told in this connection of a man who
was lost in IA blizzard in the wilds of
the Dakotas. When he was finally
picked up he was so badly frozen it
was thought he would die, but by ca e
full nursing a part of The man was
saved-that is. his trunk and h S head,

to pi ce himself out.
After he was sufficiently recovered
from hiss injuries he was brought to
Chicago and taken to an artitic al limb
maker who was told to go to work on
the foundation and see what he could
build. In the first place he put on two
artificial legs. and the man could walk.
The next job was to furnish the man
with two arms, and this was done after
much work. and the battered trunk,
dressed in the latest fashion, began to
look quite like human being once
more. The man was still minus both
his ears and his nose and one eye,
while his hair had all fallen out. The

STORY OF OLD ABE, the WAR EAGLE.

For centuries the eagle has been the
emblem Of liberty. the inspiration Of
poets and the terror Of his feathered
friends. The king Of birds has fur
nished the story writer with count
less incidents, from aerial battles to
child stealing. One Of Victor Hugos
greatest poems begins: "L'aigle-c'est
lie genie-Oseau de la tempete. qui do
mont lie plus haut cherche lie plus haut
faite." The poet parallels the struggles
Of genius with the battle Of the eagle
for existence, till both spread their
wings in the plenitude of power.
These are the fanciful ways Of look
ing at the bird of freedom. and 1t was
doubtless similar ideas that induced
