Contest for Thacher Prize of $75 to be
 Held in Hendrie Hall.
 The finals of the trial debates for candidates for tie Yale debating team will be held this evening at 7.15 in Hen drie hall. The men selected tonight will debate with Princeton on the Pan- anna question March 25 at Princeton. The Thacher prize of $75 for the best speaker in the academic department will be awarded tonight.
 The question that was chosen for the Yale-Princeton debate is: Resolved, That the government of the United States was warranted in recognizing the independence of the republic of Panama"-Yale choosing to support the negative.
 In the interclass debate held recently at Princeton this same question was debated on, the negative winning, so this is a bright outlook for the Yale speakers. As this is the last chance to hear the Yale speakers before the de- bate the trials tonight will probably be largely attended.

Francis Hodgson Burnett, the author ess, occupies the unique position in the field of literature. A woman of un- doubted genius as evidenced bs the popularity obtained by her Little Lord Fauntleroy," A Lady of Quality" Sarah Crewe,'' Tn Connection with the De Willoughby Claim" and "The Making of a Marchioness,' has dis played the same cleverness with her contributions to the stage. Maude Adams this season is playing The Pretty Sister of Jose" Taking several of the strongest incidents from In Connection with the De Willoughby Claim Mrs. Burnett has furnished to Robert HiIliard with That Man and I, which is considered by both author and critics to be the strongest and best play she has ever written.

One of the best offerings of the season at the Grand opera house is the spien- did melodranla Queen of the White Slaves which opened three night and
 matinee engagement at that popular playhouse last evening. The play is be- ing produced under the management of A. H. Woods, late of the theatrical firm of Sullivan, Harris & Woods, and has been given the most careful attention in every detail as to company, scenic effects, costumes and accessories. It tells a story of thrilling human inter- est and one which quickens the pulse and makes one feel the more like crush ing down those who scheme to drag our loved ones to their level.
 The story deals principally with the abduction of beautiful white girl from her San Francisco home by the High binders and the efforts of her lover and other good friends to thwart the pur- poses Of the king of the Highbinders to make her one of his mistresses and the queen of his white slaves. Right triumphs over might, after a series of thrilling experiences and the guilty are punished.
 The play is in five acts and nineteen scenes and presents some magnificent pictures of stage realism. The rescue at sea, where the big Indiana" picks up two helpless men who are floating on a raft, the session of the Terrible Nine. the palace of the King High binder and the walls of death, are all intensely well presented.
 The company is good in everysrespect and the piece is deserving of large audiences.
 Queen of the White Slaves" will be repeated tonight and Saturday, with usual matinee.
 Through Fire and Water" one of the best and latest melodramas on the road, will be the attraction at the Grand opera house Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next week. Through Fire and Water" with all it's minute detail of stage realism is still enjoying the same marked success which has char acterized this popular play since the initial performance. Everything tend ing to create a feeling of good humor and enjoyment and send the audience away contented and satisfied is en-
 bodied in this vivid picture of railroad life. The play is full of bright, witty and original lines and clever acting, and is staged with the same correctness of detail that has made James H. Wal lick and all of his productions so popu- lar and successful. From the principal role, so ably rendered by Farrell Vim ton down to the smallest part. each character is assumed with a life-like fidelity that is surprising, adn shows what thorough knowledge Charles A. Taylor, the author, has of human na- ture. Matinee Wednesday.
