Tomorrow night Chauncey Olcott opens
his weeks engagement at the Metropoli-
tan, presenting for the first half of the
week which includes four nights and the
regular Wednesday with an added matt
nee Monday "a Romance of Athlone,"
written by his manager, Augustus Pltou.
The action Of the play is near Athlone,
Ireland, in the year, 1900. Sir Phillip
Ronyane, twice married, has two sons,
Francis by his first wife and Dick by his
second wife, Margaret, who Is a descend
ant Of the royal line Of the O'Briens Of
Munster. When the play opens Dick has
Just returned after an absence Of three
years. Major Manning, with his daugh-
ter Rose, and his ward. Eleanor Nc
Bride, are visiting at Sir Phillips. There
is also at Sir Phillips house the Hon.
Standish Fitzsimmons. Francis, thru his
dissipation in London has run heavily In
debt, the loans having been obtained thru
Fitzsimmons, an adventurer. 1t has been
arranged between Sir Phillip and Major
Manning that Francis should marry Rose.
Sir Phillip has not seen her since she
was a child, and Francis had not seen
her until her visit to his fathers house.
Rose, who has a will Of her own, deter
mines to learn something of Francis
character before consenting, and induces
her father to introduce her as his ward
and to introduce Eleanor Mcbride as his
daughter. Francis naturally pays court tc
the ward supposing her to be the rich
heiress.
Sir Philip has great love for Francis
whom he describes as having all the man
ners of citybred man. He consider

Dick unworthy, speaks Of him as being
too free in his associations with the ten
ants, and accuses him of attending the
secret meetings Of the revolutionists
Rose Manning discovers the difference in
the character Of the two half-brothers
and falls in love with Dick. FitZsmmons,
who has won the confidence of Major
Manning, learns from him that Rose is
his daughter. He determines to keep the
matter to himself and win the heiress
while Francis Is making love to the PEN
niess ward. Fitzsimmons hates Dick,
fearing he will ruin the plan to secure
Rose. TO avenge himself on Dick and to
secure large sum of money, he proposes
to Francis that Dicks sister. a child Of 7,
be given to the gypsies, to be held for
ransom. He tells Francis they can Sc
cure the ransom money, share it with the
leader Of the gypsies and gain the honor
Of having rescued the child. Francis can
pay his debts in London out Of their
share and his father will never know Of
his dissipation. Francis consents, but the
abduction is frustrated by Dick, who
visits the gypsy camp in disguise and
learns from the gypsy girl the true char
acter Of Fitzsimmons. His identity is ex-
posed by Rose when in jealous rage at
finding Dick and the gypsy girl together,
which results in Dicks slapping Fitzsim-
mons in the face with Roses glove. They
| fight duel and Dick disarms Fitzsim-
mons, who appeals to Dick to spare his
! life. Dick consents, on condition that
Fitzsimmons leave the country and keep
secret all that has happened. Fitzsim-
mons agrees. Dicks uncle, rich bach
elor, makes him his heir, and Major Man

.Lyceum-"Pudd'nhead Wilson,"

z Opening tomorrow evening at the Ly
ceum the Ferris Stock company and
Grace Hayward will appear in Mark
!Twains great play, "Puddnhead wilson,
A special matinee will be given Monday
Labor Day, also three regular matinees
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The scenes Of "Pudd nhead Wilson" are
laid in the village of Dawson's Landing
on the Mississippi, a short distance from
st. Louis. The story is told in a pro-
log and four acts. The period Of the pro-
| log is 1886, and twenty-th years later
| the play begins. Its main incidents have
| to do with two boys born on the same
| date, one of whom is the son of a wealthy
/ planter and the other the son of a slave
| woman. When it comes time to christen
/ the son Of the planter, the sponsor, who
i chances to be the sister of David (Pudd'n-
/ head) Wilson, takes the wrong baby to
| the church. The mistake is not found out
I until the bows have grown to manhood,
1 and consequently the slave woman's child
lives in luxury as the son Of the planter,
and the real son is doomed to life Of
I privations.
David Wilson arrives in the village Of
4 Dawson on the same day that the boys
were born, and, following out fad of his,
he takes the thumb marks of the two
4 twins on a small plate Of glass. In later
4 years he repeated the operation and in
this way he had a complete thumb his.

which would nearly double the amount.
everybody knows that Missouri is a
corn and wheat state, but some of the
Items are not so familiar The hay
gathered this year is valued at over
S40,000,000, oats $5,000,000 and cotton
at more than $2,000.000. Potatoes yield

$6,OO0,000 and sorghum $4,000, 900. In
the list are goodly amounts realized
from flax. rye, buckwheat, barley.

The state holds the highest rank in
general agriculture and horticulture,
when diversity of crops is taken into
consideration.

A Needed WARMING.

Burlington Hawk Eye - Nearly a
year has passed since the Iroquois fire
In Chicago, and nothing has been done
to those responsible for the dreadful
calamity. The i'll fated theatre has
been rehabilitated and Is. now being
run as a cheap continuous performance
house.
The new proprietors are said to have
secured the building. which was refur-
nished and re-decorated in hand
some manner, for a nominal sum.
Their idea was that the house would
draw large audiences from the Curl
GUS classes.
It is not believed the proprietors
have realized on their expectations.
People generally shun place fraught
with such horrible memories, and it
would have been better had decent
respect for the memory of the VIC
tins of the disaster been observed, and
the house dismantled as a place of
amusement.
One good effect of the fire is that a
relentless war has since been carried
on In Chicago against unsafe theaters.
AT first every theater in the city was
closed until the safety ordinance had
been complied with, and since then a
vigilent watch has been kept on all
places of public amusement. Two play
houses were closed this week because
of the neglect Of the managers to safe
guard them as the law provides.
