"Rlehsed cssvei."

In "Richard Carvel" Andrew
Robson has role admirably
suited, not alone to his splendid
physique and vigorous, robust
stale, but to the dashing tempera-
ment OF his acting. His success S
in "The ROYAL Box" last season
is more that duplicated in the new
play.
Mr.. Robson's "Richhad" is a
clean, straightforward, simple lover
and a patriot, virile and distin-
guished, but entirely free OF bonn
bast or staginess.
Last night he was especially
effective in the third act denou-
ement, rnd was rewarded with a
burst of enthusiasm such as is
seldom accord d by Metropolitan
audsences. He was obliged to
respond to five curtain calls. The
scenic investiture is on a scale al
most approaching magnificence.
The mourtings are complete and
the costuming is unusually rich
and accurate.

"Shoss Aeses."

The most delightful and pictuT-
esque OF the New England home
plays, "Shore Acres" continues to
grow in popularity from year to
year. and the profits gained
through this single work have
brought independence to Mr..
Herne's family. Laughter abounds,
and something sweet and solemn
runs through the whole story. 1t
has repose in its action. The
actors come and so carlessly or
busily, like living figures. There
is no centre of the stage. no de-
clamations, no asides, no solilo
quies, almost nothing to make
against verify. 1t has no william,
no wronRed woman, no hero. no
highfalutin speech in its entire
length; nobody is killed, nobody
tails down cellar with a piano;
and yet the play has achieved q
remarkable success"
A thoroughly firstclass produc-
ton Of this famous play will be
given at the La Junta Theatre.

1t would not look out of place in any city of he United Sta:es. Indeed the bet ter class of citizens dress the same here as they do at home, the old Dutch cos tumes being confined to the country. The burgomasters are appointed by the Queen, although they are paid by the localities which they govern. They do not make the laws, but merely aid in carrying them out.
 Eleven Hundred Communes.
 The real local government of Holland Is much the same as that Of the United States. The country Is divided up into communes or local districts according to population Sometimes commune will be only a part of city, like one of our city wards, or 1t may be village and again 1t may be village and country combined There are HOO such com munes here each of which has its own council elected by its citizens. These councils have to do with certain classes of taxes. They issue licenses and levy petty dues. They regulate the streets and roads, and for the uses of the con- mune can add to the taxes on property and on rents or on the number of chim- neys or the number of servants man has as we'll as to the many other things for which the Dutch are taxed.
 There are also provincial or state coun- cils. Holland has eleven provinces and each province has its own representative body which deals with matters relating to 1t. Thus you have in Holland Con- gress much like our National Congress, a set of provincial assemblies much like our State Legislatures, and a set of com munes much like our counties or City Counclls-an elected by the people. In- deed the Government is almost Repub- liCan.
 The State Runs the Railroads.
 As far as I can learn Holland is very well governed. You find perfect order ev- anywhere There are no beggars and few poor houses. Vagabondage is treated as crime. and persons so convicted are placed in some of the State work estab- lishments. There @re no poor taxes and such poor as there are are chiefly relieved by the various charitable societies. Taxes are comparatively low, the total of direct and indirect taxes averaging something like $l0 per head.
 Holla nd runs its own railroads, its tel egraphs and telephones, and 1t makes money out of them, giving a good service at comparatively low cost. The State

 There is no doubt but that Her Majesty has enough money to give a good allow ance to her husband without feeling it. She pays no house rent She has four or hVe palaces, one here at The Hague. one In the woods near by and a big one in Amsterdam. None of them are magnifi- cent as to outer appearances. but they are all well furnished and some are quite comfortable. They are all old, however, and the heating arrangements of some of them would not be tolerated in an ordi- nary American residence. l saw a base burner in the palace at Amsterdam and this Notwithstanding the house is as big as dozen Pennsylvania bank barns and almost as gloomy. It is situated in the heart of the city, resting on a founda- ton of 13.60O piles. It was originally in- tended for a town hall, and cost about g. 100000. A little less than a hundred years ago 1t was first used as a palace It is now inhabited by the Queen when she comes to Amsterdam. This Is not often. however, for although Amsterdam is the nominal capital, 1t Is not the real capital of Holland. The Congress sits at The Hague, and all the State offices are here. The Queen has two palaces here, so that for all practical purposes this is the governing center.
 These palaces are not uncomfortable. I recently went through the one in the heart of the city. It looks plain from the front. but 1t has a great number of rooms, and some of the suites are very homelike. The palace is well furnished. and 1t has fine pictures and statues. It is about 400 years old, but its arrange ments are more modern than those of the Amsterdam palace.
 The Capital of Holland.
 The Hague is the favorite residence city of the Dutch. Many of the richest mer- chants and bankers of Rotterdam and Amsterdam have homes here, and go daily to their places of business by train. The Hague is only a half hour from Rotterdam and about an hour from Am sterdam, and the railroad service Is ex- cellent The city has no manufactures to speak of. and 1t Is much like Washing ton-a residence, social and official cen ter. It has been called the largest vil- lage of Europe, but 1t is growing like a green bay tree, and 1t Is now a city in size. It has about 26O, 900 people and adds to Its population every year.
 The Hague has wide canals running through 1t, and the Parliament buildings and some of the other public structures face on great vat of water covering several acres. known as the Fish Pond The city has fine squares and lofty houses. It has many trees and aItogeth- CT 1t is one of the pleasantest living

Railway receipts are steadily increasing. They were more than 2S.00O,000 guilders last year, the most they had ever been up to that time and third more than they were in 1890. Our postal service runs behind every year; the Dutch make about 100000 guilders a year out of theirs. They are losing a little on the telegraph service, but they send messages for one-half of the American charges, and the service Is fully as good as ours. You can send telegram of ten words anywhere in Holland for 10 cents and for each additional word you will pay about six-tenths of a cent. A fve-word dis patch to Great Britain costs only 20 cents and one to the United States costs 40 cents and upwards per word.
 The telephone rates are equally low. Every city has a good service with the wires on steel towers 100 feet high, so that they rise far above the houses. see them erecting such poles here in The Hague. They come in sections, and look much like the towers of enormous wind mills.
 A Tariff Against American Goods.
 The Dutch Government officials are ob- jecting to our tariff on their exports. They sell us from $10,0O0,00O to $15,0 900 worth of goods every year, and would sell great deal more were 1t not for our inn port duties. Holland Is practically a free trade country, duties being imposed for revenue only and the result is that our wheat Indan corn, flour, lard, tallow. leather and a lot of other things come in free. We sell the Dutch almost ten times as much as they sell us and they think there should be reciprocity. There Is talk among the members of the States General of placing an import tax upon our wheat and flour, but our Consul Gen eral tells me there is no danger of such a measure passing. Said he:
 Holland cannot possibly raise enough to feed her own people and the Dutch will not tolerate any tax on breadstufrs which must be paid by themselves. As 1t is now there are import taxes on our tobacco amounting to about 14 cents a pound, taxes on preserved meats and fruits of 5 cents per pound, and on oils of about 12 cents per hundredweight."

 + The Hague. 2 Does the Dutch Queen love her hus- band:
 There is no doubt of it!
 She just -dotes on him!
 At least this is what I learn at The Hague I have had confidential talks with several members of the court. They say Her Majesty and her royal spouse are living together in the most lovely way and that their honeymoon Is not yet on the wane. They tell me that the sto- ries to the contrary came from the neb- uious outpourings of a drunken coach man whom the Queen had discharged. This man went to Amsterdam, and while in his cups sought revenge for his dis xniseal by pouring these scandalous lies into a reporters ears. I am assured that Prince Heinrich has not ih-treated the Queen, and that. on the contrary, he loves her and she loves him. the two in private billing and cooing like turtle doves.
 The Queen and Her Husband.
 I also learn that the Prince is a little too stiff to suit the Dutch. There is noth- ing of the mixer or hand-shaker about him. He Is nervous and not at all de- monstrative in public. The Dutch do not understand him and they rather thinks he puts on airs. I was talking the other night with a man who was present at the coronation ceremonies at Amsterdam. Said he:
 'T was not far from the Queen during several of the receptions and I had a good chance to study both her and her husband. The Queen was lovely and the people went wild over her. They would have done the same over the Prince had he unbent a little and gone one-third of the way to meet them. As 1t was he sat beside his spouse as stiff as one of the statues in the court outside and looked about with a frozen smile. Her Majesty now and then glanced proudly and lovingly at him but he did not respond with one affectionate look. A foreign consul said to me at the time:
 That man must be made of wood. Why don't he show his feelings. If he. would only throw his arms about the Queen and kiss her right here in the crowd, the Dutch, stoid as they are, would cheer him and like him. "
 The Dutch Love the Queen.
 It is wonderful how these people love their Queen. They speak of her as Our Child" and will not tolerate anything said against her. The newspapers do not even gossip about Her Majesty, as is com mon In the other capitals of Europe At tho same time the Queen has all the ele- ments of popularity. She looks not un- like Mrs. Cleveland did when she was in the White House. She is of about the same height and has the same personal
