ENTERTAIYMENTS.
Hyperion Thcnter.

on the sound theory that a laugh IS
the more hearty when elected in sharp
contrast with pathos, Ezra Kendall's
new play weather Beaten Benson, 1
which will be seen at the Hyperion to-
night, is built. Kendall brings to his
latest vehicle the same dry and ire
sistible humor that has made him an
inimitable figure among American
comedians, but he also reveals a high
.er art than he has before exhibited.
There are serious moments merely
1noments-in Weather Beaten Benson"s
and the starting of tear, arrested by
a rare bit or humor accentuates the
value of the contrasting qualities.
There is no decline Of interest in this
new Kendall play. Its types from
Benson down are purely American
types, its story a purely 4 American
story, its humor the best quality of
the Kendall brand therefore, also
purely American. Under the liberal
and progressive management of Lieb-
Ter & Co., Kendall has been equipped

ceptional excellence.

The Fortune Teller" drew packed
houses at both performances yesterday
at the New Haven theater. OF the

its bright, catchy music, very little that

u Miss Doris Goodman appears as Irene

these characters. Indeed, 1t would be
difficult to say anything too good about
this graceful little person. Her voice,
while not wonderfully strong, is sweet
and clear, and she handled her parts
with all the grace and skill that one
looks for iii an Edna Wallace Hopper,
or, in fact, in Miss Nielsen herself.
Miss Elsie Janis and her limitations

THE RUSSIANS, SACRED IKoN.

It1E RUSSIANS SACHED 5lkSN.
What the crucifix has been to the
church of Rome, the ikon. is to the
Greek church in Russia It is "a sa-
cred picture" Of the virgin, of Christ,
Of a saint or an angel. Many ikons are
works of art, set in. jeweled frames, and
are priceless in value. Every Greek
church must have at least two, that of
Christ being given always the place at
the right Of the altar. Lights are
burned before the ikons, and there are
offerings Of incense. No orthodox
Greek passes the sacred picture with
out making the sign of the cross. No
peasants hut is so squalid that the
ikon is not displayed somewhere, on
the smoky wall with at least the SEM
blance of an altar before it, at which
the members of the household perform
their devotions. In addition to this,
every ship in the Russian navy and
every regiment in the great standing
army has its ikon, which Is reverenced
| BY the officers and soldiers alike. In
many cases these ikons have been
handed down through many genera
tions, like the historic plate, centuries
lold, to be found in some of the regi-
ments Of the British army An Eng
! lish writer recently gave. a graphic de-
lscription OF the departure of a Russian
regiment to the front. The troops were
gathered on the four sides of the pub
| lie square, in the center of which a
| Temporary altar had been erected. On
either side Of the altar soldiers were
posted, holding ikons on long poles,
(which were inclined until they touched,

l1y over the altar. They were held

received a special blessing from the
priest and the solemn exhortation, Be

and the empire. Many ikons, in the
minds Of the superstitious people, are
Icredited with miracle working powers.

COWBOYS BATTLE WITH
STEER.


The great event at Cheyenne this
year was the remarkable feat of viii
Pickett, a negro Mailing from Taylor,
Tex, who gave his exhibition while
10000 people watched with wonder and
admiration a mere man, unarmed and
without a device or appliance Of any
kind, attack a fiery, wild-eyed and
powerful steer and throw it by his
teeth. With the aid of a helper, Pickett
chased the steer until The was in front,
of the grand stand. Then he jumped
from the saddle and landed on the back
iof the animal, grasped its horns and
brought it to a stop within a dozen
feet. BY remarkable display of
strength he twisted the steers head
until its nose pointed straight into the
air, the animal believing with pain and
its tongue protruding in its effort to Sc
cure air. Again and again the negro
was jerked from his feet and tossed
into the air, but his grip on the horns
never once loosened, and the steer
failed in its efforts to gore him. Cow
boys with their lariats rushed to Pick
/ ett's assistance, but the; action of the
combat was too rapid for them. Before
help could be given, Pickett, who had
forced the steers nose into the mud
| and shut off its wind, slipped and was
tossed aside like piece of paper.
There was a scattering Of cowboys as
he jumped to his feet and ran for his
horse. Taking the saddle without
touching the stirrup, he ran the steer
to point opposite the judges stand,
iagain jumped on to its back, and threw
lit, Twice was the negro lifted from his
feet, but he held on with the tenacity
of a bulldog. Suddenly Pickett dropped
the steers head and grasped the upper
lip of the ANIMAL with his teeth, threw
his arms wide apart, to show that he
was not using his hands, and sank
slowly upon his back. The steer lost
its footing and rolled upon its back.
