LATEST TALK IN EUROPE.
England Glad of Loubet's Hearty Re,
ception by Italy.

London-Br itons are intensely graf
fled at the enthusiasm of the welcome
Italy has accorded to President Lou
bet. England and Italy are old friends.
The ties binding them together are
not less firm because they do not take
the form Of documents signed and
sealed. The two naval powers have
for thirty years worked in harmony
in the Mediterranean, and there has
never been day during that period
when Italy could not have counted
upon Britain's cooperation had her
position been threatened by the am
billions once entertained in quarters
now effusively cordial to her. With
London and Paris upon such excel
lent footing, the growing entente be-
tween Italy and France is doubly use
ful to British diplomacy, whose chief
not even excepting an understand
ing" with Russia-is the isolation of
ssssmany. This view Of the case is
:andidly adopted by the North Ger
nan Gazette, a journal often used to
voice the circulation Of the Berlin For
sign Office.

An Old Cry.

Everything new but the title has
become a ~hackneyed phrase in the
theatrical business. but never was it
used with SO much truth and to such
great advantage as in the
ment OF, Frank Adams Uncle Hez
Co, this season.
Mr.. Adams has entirely rewritten
the play and in doing 50 has so great
Iy improved it that Uncle He's
friends Will scarcely recognize him.
Instead of appearing as an inland
farmer, Uncle Hez is now a jolly old
sea captain, full of life-and eccen-
tricities, and eve ready to meet any
emergency Critics have pronounced
Mr.. Adams at his best in this role.
The other characters in the play
have been written up to a standard
of excellence never before attempted
by this class of attraction, and the
comedy scenes are deliciously funny.
The. scenic equipment this year is
splendid, comprising four new and
excellent settings as follows: Act L,
Bug Harbor, Me, exterior of Uncle
Hez Cottage and showing an admira-
bic marine view. Act II, interior of
elaborate drawing room, done in rich
colors and providing for a multitude
of trick pantomimical effects. Act III,
the Great Transportation scene, from
deck of the Emma Jane" to a tropi-
cal island.
The success of former years has
constrained Mr.. Adams to introduce
more pantomime and trick effects
than yer before, and our theatre
patrons may visit the Grand Opera
House with the expectation of en-
joyfng an evening of laughter inter-
mingled with good music and beauti-
full scenery. Uncle Hez visits us
