lyceum-"A. GiIded Fool

If any one possessed of the theater
habit does not: find his appetite satisfied
this. week by grand opera at the Metropol-
ltan or melodrama at the Bijou, and would
see clever comedy acceptably played, let
him go to the Lyceum, where the Ferris
stock company is ,reviving "a Gilded
Fool.' When Henry Guy Carleton fur
nished this vehicle for Nat Goodwin's sue
cess he constructed along conventional
lines a play whose~greatest merit Is it's
bright dialog and whose greatest purpose
was to create a part best fitted to Mr..
GoodWin's personality and talent. Because
his ability lies more nearly in the direc-
ton taken by Mr.. Goodwin's and because
there is a slight personal resemblance be-
tween the manager Of repertory COM
panies and the famous comedian, Dick
Ferris has penchant for assuming the
roles which Goodwin first appeared in, and
his success as Dick lin when We Were
Twenty one is duplicated in his as
sumption Of the character of Chauncey
Short in the bill for this week.
Both play and actor suffered last night
from Mr.. Ferris recent illness, which
compelled him to appear after but one re-
hearsal and found him sadly deficient in
his lines. But the scene in which Short
the gilded fool, is persuaded by Bannister
Strange to become the &C.," of Ruthven.
Strange Co., and to- put s400,0 into a
business which Strange knew was insolv-
enC, Is We'll done, as Is that IN the last act
when the one-time gilded fool has become
a triumphant man Of affairs. Mr.. Ferris
mannerisms are aptly used in tho role he
assumes this week.
= For the most part those occasional in
congruities which appear when. the same
player is asked to assume some fifty roles
during the year are not observable in this
weeks production. -
Because the emotional is not required of
her and she has opportunity to wear some
very fetching gowns, Miss Hayward is
charming as Margaret Ruthven. Mr.. Muir

the commercial world, and Francis Muir
doch, In her pleasing and quite unchange-
| able fashion, plays Mrs. Ruthven.,
The lighter comedy of the piece Is fur
nished by Ben Johnson as the Rev James
Howell, who eventually discovers himself
as a Scotland Yard man, and by Laurette

DRESS WITH MUCH TASTE.
British House of Commons Is the Best
CARRIED Body in the World

British House of Commons Is the Best
CARRIED Body in the World.
Taking it all round the House of
Commons is the best-dressed assembly
in the world. 1t has an air of good
breeding, of men accustomed to draw
ing-rooms and good society. The gem
eral department comes up to a fairly
high average. You see honorable
members wearing their hats in the
house and the sight offends, but that
Is not point of manners, but a GUS
tom with a picturesque history at the
back of 1t. You sometimes, too, see
honorable members asleep and you
often hear unmannerly Interruptions
from the Irish and tory benches. On
the other hand, you never see an En-
gish M. p, as 1 have often seen an
American Congressman, enjoying the
luxury Of dry smoke" and relieving
himself by profuse splitting.
The House, too, is much more pune
tilious than Congress on the small
points of order. Whenever a member
violates them he is instantly hauled
up, not merely by the speaker, but by
his fellow members, to many of whom
1t is part of the spice of life to pounce
upon Offenders. AS for the oratorical
standard of the House it is difficult to
speak with precision. The late EN-
press Of Austria used to say that she
saw more good and more bad riding in
the English shires than anywhere else
In the world. Much the same sort of
criticism might be passed on parlia-
mentary eloquence. Some of it is ex-
ceedingly good, better, 1 think, than
anything one is likely to hear in Con
gress, but much of it is atrocious. On
the whole, in this, as in many other
spheres of Anglo-American compare
tves, 1 should be inclined to say that.
while the House of Commons best is
better than the Congressional best.
the House of Commons average is be-
low the Congressional average.-Har-
per's Weekly.

BETWEEN ACTS.
NN-N-N-N-@~~OOOO

N mice WHEATLEY strolled to
/S\ the window and gazed idly out
This was strictly in accordance
with the instructions conveyed in the
little blue-covered book of typewriting,
which read:
"And 1 will explain 1t all to you
Gertrude walks to window r and
gazes idly out"
Considering that this was the 217th
time she had done this, the view from
the window had lost somewhat of its
novelty.
She knew exactly what she would
see there. At her right would be
huge electric calcium pouring it's green
rays upon her white dress. 1t had
been decided that green would be bet
ter than blue. The moon had been
green ever since the night when the
stage manager had arrived at this de-
cision.
There were also couple of stage
braces holding up the scenery, and
sometimes a couple of stage hands IN
very dirty sleeves lent animation to
the view.
Though the men were absent and
Annice was able to give her whole at
tention to the floor, on which some one
had chalked, 81 love YOU" in a clear
print.
She wondered idly who might have
done this. Some stage hand, probably
considering it good joke. Surely no
one would make such an open confess
sion and expect to be taken seriously.
She was still wondering when she
heard the cue, which was her signal to
turn with a cry of horror to perceive
Lady Gwendolin PROSTATE upon the
floor, struck down by Hugh de Malt
ravers, who in private life was a most
hnvillain-like villain.
After that 1t was a busy time until
the fall of the curtain, when she had
to run for the dressing-room for a
change to the third-act costume. She
gave the chalk marks no further
thought until the following evening.
There, again, were the eloquent
words neatly chalked for her inspec-
tIon. She was the only one required
to use the window. She could not sup
pose that the message was meant for
any one else.
Gradually the legend began to annoy
her. Every evening the same words
appeared. only to disappear befere it

Mr.. AIbee's Opinion.

Alpine, CAL, June 6.-Mr- T. M. AL
bee, our postmaster has expressed an
opinion based on his own experience
which will no doubt be of interest to
many. Mr.. Albee is man of few
words, but his we'll known truthful
ness and uprightness of character adds
much weight to any statement he
makes. He says:
''The first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills
that used convinced me of their good
qualities and 1 used altogether four
boxes with the very best results. can
heartily recommend this remedy"
This voluntary expression of opinion
will doubtless find an echo in many
homes in California for Dodd's Kidney
Pills have been making some miracu-
lous cures in this state.
From the evidence already published
it seems safe to conclude that this med
icine will be found to be a perfect cure
for Rheumatism, Urinary trouble,
Backache and any and every form or
symptom of Kidney Complaint.

Sounds familiar still
Valley-voices bringing
Echoes from the HILL
That voice-we heard it far away
Sweet calling to a child at play.
And there are wild, sweet joys there,
Where barefoot fellows roam
Just as of old, the boys there
They drive the cattle home.
And some one near the battle-bars
Looks winsome meath the twilight stars

Recalling in strange faces
Youths passion and it's painl
