What has been looked forward to as the most important dramatic event Of the season occurs this evening in Viola Aliens presentation of The Eternal City" at Polls. This great play, which has proved the most suc- cessful that Miss Allen has yet had, was presented for the first time at the National fheater, Washington, on the evening of October 6, and scored a huge hit Miss Allen came to New York and opened at the Victoria thea ter on the evening of November IT. Rarely has there been seen in New York such a crowd on an opening night or an audience so fboisterous in its ap- proval. Miss Allen has never had 8 role in which she appeared, from all accounts, to better advantage than that of Donna Roma, or which gave her a finer opportunity for the display of her fine emotional powers. In the language of one brilliant critic, after Act W the audience literally raised Caine, who appeared and made mod est speech of thanks Indeed, New York has not had such another first night of a play in many a day or since, likely, the same authors Christian" was seen. But the older play is a dramatic nursery rhyme compared to this new and thrilling stage epic Miss Allen is always a favorite, and her fine rendering Of Donna Roma Valonna served to wipe out the memory of her famous per- formance of Glory Quayle. In Act " in a thrilling crescendo, Edward Morgan, after killing the prime minis ter, hurls himself into hysterical mad ness. "On the opening night said the New York Sun critic, ''the scene -- eonta gfous, for the audience also went mad.'' Miss Allen with her great company, including Edward Mor- gan, Frederic De Belleville, E. M. Hol- land and W. D. Bonney, will give the marvellous production in all it's wealth of sp1endor at Polls. Prices are 9, 75 cents $1, $1.5o and $2. There is no free list.

grocer from farmer. The bird was so small then and otherwise disreputable looking that the grocer couldn't sell him. One day the rooster was turned out to save the expense of feeding him. Since that day he has become a part of the busy life in the west bottoms. The bird lives on the grain that falls from passing wagons.
 The, many dangers of city fife wrought a change in the demure farm chicken. He learned to stand firm when attacked by passing CUTS and to fight if necessary. This gave him the name of ''The Scrapping Rooster" Recently he fought mongrel dog that parked at him and frightened the ami anal so that it ran away. The rooster is an odd, though familiar, sight as it moves about among the heavily loaded Freight vans, street ears, and vehicles on Mulberry street. He has the dis- finction of being the only rooster in the west bottoms. Every night the bird goes to roost on the top of box which stands on the sidewalk near St. Louis avenue and Mulberry street.

Omaha, Feb 2S.-Church circles in Oma-

city. as u comment on a Lenten pastoral
written for the Episcop9l churches of the
city by Bishop WOrthington who has re-
sided in New York City for the past six
years, although remaining Bishop CT this
See. The comment was written by the
Reverend T. j. Mackey, the best known
clergyman in Omaha. He says:
Il have received a letter from Bishop
Worthington, which was written In the lux
urlous rooms Of the Manhattan Hotel. New
York, giving instructions to us who are out
here in the field how We shall! observe
Lent
Bishop Worthington sends us 4 Lenten
pastoral at long range from New York, in
which IL is pleasant TO hear that We are
stlli remembered by our faithful. self-deny-
ing, self-sacrificing diocesan. 1t is also
pleasant to note that the Providence which
separates us from our beloved Bishop is
dealing gently with him. and that he is not
suffering from anxiety of mind concerning
his far distant diocese. We should be deeply
grateful to God foE words contained in the
Bishops pastoral"
Mr. Mackey then addressed his congrega-
tion ON Lent. and said:
ITO a great extent Lent is a farce made
so by the manner in which it is not OBJ
served.

they have decided not to eat candy during

Mr.. Jov is not. strictly speaking. an ac-

there is a strong belief that Ii will be ten

already had been by the papers filed in his
behalf
From the nature OF the case il would be
very difficult 10 explain every charge so
fully az to warrant a claim for reappoini-
ment.
The matter has been unique in some of its
features. 1t has been held by Mr.. Baum
hons friends that in order to exonerate
him completely he should be reappointed
Very few offices of this size have been so
narrowed down in the consideration of can

Those who have watched the case closely
say that Mr.. Fouike's final report will have
