"The Sultan of SuIu."

A musical treat has been provided for the patrons of the Jefferson theatre. The event will take place next Thursday afternoon and night, and the piece se- cured for the occasion is the Ade-Wath all musical satire, '"The Sultan of Sulu."
 This delightful Gilbertian opera, with its keen incisive humor and brilliant sa- tire, is not new to patrons of musical attractions, as it enjoyed a six months run at Wallack's theatre in New York and played long engagements in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities It comes to town heralded as one of the most substantial and lasting successes of recent years.
 As suggested by It's title, "The Sul- tan of Sulu" recites certain events sup posed to have occurred in the Philip pine islands during the American in- vasion The potentate is a whimsical and polygamous individual. He occupies the throne of Sulu, or Jolo, the largest of the southern islands of the Philippine group. The American invasion and the arrival of a company of soldiers commanded by Lieutenant Hardy, U. s. A., to civilze the monarch, add to his complications which are already large, as he has re- gently appropriated eight of a neighbor- Ing Datto or chiefs wives, and war is imminent. Matters are strengthened out somewhat by the Judge Advocate com polling the Sultan to divorce all his wives but one, and Uncle Sams soldiers i'm mediately falling in love with and mar rying them. The Judge Advocate is strong minded maiden lady of the Bos- tonese type. She has for her assistants four New England school teachers, who are pretty and demure and dance so gracefully that they too win the suscept- ible sultans love the moment he be- holds them.
 Civilization with it's cocktails, alimony and other incidents peculiar to modern life, sits heavily upon the comic poten- tate, so much so in fact that he is unable to live up to the new state of affairs and is cast into one of his own jails He Is liberated, however, on a legal tech nicality, and finally made governor of his own island. The Sultan's retinue of wives. soldiers, courtiers, dancing girls and his magnificent palace with its orien- tai splendor and tropical gardens have had no small share in the phenomenal success that has hitherto attended this production. It is typical Henry w. Savage show in every sense of the word

ful "Florodora" and the "Silver Slip per- music, is said to be so pleased with the United States that he expressed desire to live here. He Is understood to be desirous of writing new work in collaboration with an American npret- tist Many newspapers have confounded him with his collaboration on 'F'lorodora' and "The Silver Slipper" Owen Hall, who sometime ago was quoted in the Lon don press as declaring eternal enmlty to- wards American performers and refus- ing to permit them to appear in the Eng fish production of his works.
 "The Marriage of Kitty" which was the most emphatic comedy success Of last season in New York, will soon be given here with Bettina Gerard and Max Fig man in the principal roles.
 A notable attraction announced for early appearance in this city will be Paul Gilmore in "rhe Mummy and the Running Bird" the play in which he created such furore all over the coun- try last season. He is repeating his
 triumphs everywhere, and could undoubt-
 edly appear again next season in this
 same play of which the public does not seem to be able to get enough; but Man. ager Jules Murry has already contracted for a new vehicle for MT. Gilmore next season.

"A Desperate Chance"

"A desperate Chdnce.
 "A Desperate Chance is the title of the latest drama from the pen of that well known and successful playwright, Theodore Kremer
 From all accounts, MT. Kremer has written the best work of his life in placing on the stage scenes and incidents in the life of those two notorious crm- inals, Ed and Jack Riddle of Pittsburgh It will be remembered that only a short time ago the entire country was startled by the escape of those two notorious men from the Pttsburg jail, where they were incarcerated. awaiting the death sentence that had been passed on them some months previous, after a series of trials. They were aided in their escape by the wife of the prison warden, who, previous to that escape had borne the very highest reputation as a loving and faithful wife. It was simply case of a weak woman's infatuation for crim- inal.
 MT. Kremer has not exaggerated any of the scenes. They are true to life and "A Desperate Chance" the title given to the play, from all reports around the country where the play has been seen, would ir>.1cate that it is a production well worthy of patronage.
 MT. Krerner it will be remembered is the author of such well known plays as ''The Power Behind the Throne
 Messrs Miller Plohn and Saylor. the managers of this attraction, have spared no expense in mounting the play, having even gone to the expense of securing some of the original weapons that were used by the detectives in the capture of these criminals. The cast is composed of well known artists.
 "A Desperate Chance" will be pro- duced at the Bijou theatre all next week. with the usual matinees.

Uncle Joe.
That Hon. Joseph G. Cannon is a
popular man is known of all the world
That he is personally the most popu-
lar of all the speakers of the house is
altogether probable. His lines have
indeed been cast in pleasant places.
His popularity among members is re
markable when it is remembered that
for twenty Height years he served on
the floor, always in the thick of the
fight, and that he knocked and was
knocked, mauled and was mauled,
skinned and was skinned, as much as
any member, except that he was very
hard to skin, maui or knock He has
been central figure in many of the
hottest and fiercest battles ever pulled
off in the house. OF course be bears
many scars and he has SCARED many.
But at last he was unanimously elect
ed speaker by his party, carrying into
the chair the friendship and respect of
the minority. In his high place he has
presided with such fairness and such
Kindness, has exhibited so much com
the Democratic leader, arose in his
place April % and offered resolutions
thanking him-an unusual proceeding
at the close of the long session-every
member voted for it without mental
reservation; not only voted for it, but
did SO standing up. The applause was
deafening and from the heart, and it
went to the heart of Uncle Joe.
1t was a dramatic scene worthy of
perpetuation by a master hand on his
toric canvas. Hon. James D. Rich
ardson of Tennessee, the Democratic
ex-Ieader of the house, the highest
Mason in the world, was called to the
chair. Mr.. Williams offered this reso-
luton:
Resolved, That the house of representa-
tives return its thanks to its speaker,
Hon. ]. G. Cannon of Illinois, for the fair
and impartial and able manner in which
he has presided over its deliberations and
for the sturdy common sense and genial
good humor which have been displayed
by him and which have induced the mem
bere of the house itself, In a degree al
most unprecedented, in imitation of him.
to display the same sterling American
characteristics in their deliberations and
mutual dealings.
Then Mr.. williams said:
Mr.. Speaker. it is great thing to be a
speaker of the house of commons of the
American republic. 1t is a greater thing
yet not to permit the fact of promotion
to that place. one of the most exalted in
the world, to turn ones head in the
slightest degree or to defect one from
course hitherto pursued-that of a plain,
