 Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Patrons of the Jacques will have this week show that is practically all comedy, though there is a spice of novelty also in several of the num- bers. As principal feature George Wilson of old time minstrel fame off, fers his quaint monoIogue that is said to be one of the best things he has presented during his long and highly successful career. MH Wilson will be remembered as one of the comedy mainstays of the, Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West minstrels that en- joyed such successful eminenee two decades ago. With the passing of that famous combination Mir Wilson has still maintained his prominence always being regarded as one of our best comedians and always winalng success ill anything he did. Original, quaint and unique in his methods, MT Wilson has made himself a pattern that others may initiate, but none can equal. As an accompanying headline feature Emil Hoch, dane Elton and company present an amusing pIaylet entitled ''MTfe Ricci'' It is said to be novel and original, with features of interest that give 1t an element Of unique attractiveness. A mixture of novelty and comedy is supplied by the Faust Trio in "The Haunted Mflp, and Martini and MaXimilian witn their eccentric illusions. Further com edy numbers are supplied by Arthur Whitelaw, Jeanne Ardelle and Inez Bayard, Mooney and Holbein, and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10. t.".

Assuming twenty-four inches as the average diameter of the shot fired at the siege, the total area of the surface dressed was nearly 32,000 square feet.

Now, he did not fancy the animal nor back it and was greatly surprised to see it win. or course he was pleased, but his satis- faction was interrupted by the refec- tiop that the lady would doubtless imagine that her tenner had been in vested.

 1t was a pretty touch of sentiment by which the grandchildren Of Thomas Corwin, the famous senator from Ohio, who stood out against the Mexican war with a heroisn and eloquence and resoluteness akin to that of George F. Hoar against the Philippine policy, should have sent bunch of white ghrysanthemums from Cincinnati to be placed on the desk of the late senator at the opening of this years session, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Post They probably had in mind Senator lHoar's references to their distinguished grandfather and sought this occasion sto express their recognition.
 Z These have been sent, with other flowers, including some beautiful Amer ican Beauties, ito Concord, to be placed on the senator's grave. No provisions have yet been made for the euIogies in the senate chamber, and 1t is desired to permit time to elapse for his asso- ciates to think out with some care what they want to say. Mir. Hoar's tributes to his associates, as one by one they fell in public life, were mas. terpieces of ripe scholarship and care full preparation.

New York Casino production and with a cast including many favorites, Miss EdwarCles is meeting with q wei come this season almost unprece- dented. Ranking ill the same class as she does with all the big comic opera stars, her engagement in every city is the event of events. "Winsome Win nie' is the work of four past masters of this style of entertainment. Orig inally the work of Jakobowsky and Paulton, the authors of ''Erminie," it has been localized and Americanized by Gustav Kerker and Frederic Ran ken, the authors of many distinguish ed musical successes. The music is said to be tuneful and at times ambi- tious enough to almost reach the bor- der of romantic opera. The scenes are laid along the shores of the Medi- terranean, giving the scenic artist scope for some very beautiful and picturesque, stage settings, while the costumes are of costly and exquisite design. As the entire production will be brought to- this city intact, the same in every particular as seen at the Casino during its memorable run in Navy York, it $ worthy of and will doubtless be greeted by an 1m- mense audience. Prices are 25. 5O 75 cents, $1 and $1.75.
