"Yon YonsOn" at the Park.

Trust the regular clientele of the Park
to turn out in force when lyon Yonson'
comes to town. 1t has been doing so every
year for ten years, and repeated it yester-
day afternoon and last night. taking along
some TO whom the play was new. This play
of life among the lumbermen in the pine
regions of Minnesota seems to be a train
ing school for young Swedes who aspire TO
fame on the American stage. About every
year it offers a new star, generally one
from Sweden, who feels as If he is on his
native heath in portraying the character
of honest, innocent YOn Yonson. This sea-
son Nelse Erickson is using the play as
ladder by which to climb to higher stage
honors. He stumbles through the broken
English of YOn YonsOn with native nat
uraness that is delightful to hear. Few
incidents are offered lin which he is not the
dominating figure, and these few are UNI
important. He makes most of the fun,
revels in the serious affairs, readily peels
his long. blue coat to fight for a fair lady
and pushes along the comedy in love af-
fair of his own. In fact, there is a steady
demand upon the talent of an actor who
takes the part of Yon Yonson, and this
ew star measures up TO every need.
Mr.. Erickson is ably supported by his
company. Thomas O'Brien impersonates
an English tourist: James c. Mack takes
the heavier lines as a lumberman; L. H.
Bender, as a mill engineer, deves deeply
into the darker deeds: Harry Bond plays
the dual role of a real-estate boomer and a
footman. OF the women, most of the prom
inence is allotted to Elma Gillette who in
the part of Grace Jennings, weaves a love
story, and does it well. Eva NJ. Bennett
plays the light comedy part of a boy. Josie
Winters appears as a young book agent
and Elizabeth b. Chester is the Widow
Latin.
In a scenic way the feature of the play
shows a log jam, with miles of snow
stretching behind it in the pine forests,
and il is when the log jam breaks that YOn
YOnsOn shows he contains the mettle of
which heroes are made. The action of the
piece halts frequently for Swedish folk
songs by Mr.. Erickson, and there are SINH
lar specialties by Miss Chester, Miss Win
tiers, Harry Bond and quartet of lumber
men, and the audience was generous in it's
encores at yesterdays performances. This
will be the Parks bill until Thursday.

BurIesque at the Empire.

Al Reeves, with the same old smile, the
same old jokes and few new ones, still as
clever at the banjo, is at the Empire this
week with his organization Of pretty girls
and funny comedians. His aggregation
known as Al Reevess Big reauty Show
pleased the patrons of the theater at both
the performances yesterday and the work
of the chorus was applauded again and
again. 1t is seldom that a snow comes to
the Empire with such excellent music and
well-drected chorus as that headed by
Reeves. He carries his own musical di-
rector, and the carefully-eXecuted drills
and well-sung songs showed the result of
the latters work.
Although Reeves with his banjo is clever,
he is not the whole show. as the pretty
girls and Woodworking comedians make
both the first part and the buTlesque pleas
ing. The show opens with a short skt, "A
Chinese Sunny Moon. in which Harry
Devine and George Mullen, comedians, are
the principal fun-makers. They keep the
audience in an uproar while on The stage.
The first part is very short.
Van Der kOor, a young American with q
queer foreign name, Is called 1.-The only
rival of the Great Hermann and Kellar.''
His sleight-of-hand performance is clever
and some of his hat tricks are deceiving, al
though at times his work is bunglesome.
The audiences of yesterday enjoyed his act
Andy Lewis, perhaps the cleverest of
Reeves's aggregation, gives indianapolis
the latest in race-track slang direct from
New Orleans and Bennings The act, in
which he is assisted by Miss Elliott, Miss
Newell and Mr.. McNulty is a very weak
one, yet Lewis succeeds in keeping his
listeners in uproar from the moment he
makes his appearance on the stage. Lewis
some time will be in better company.
Miss Evelyn Fonner sings coon songs well
and the audiences yesterday enjoyed her
efforts She was called back again and
again. Devine and Williams do a mediocre
singing and dancing act and Mullen and
Corelli are applauded for their knock about
acrobatic work The last burlesque "A
Merry Go-Round," shows the company at
it's best Miss Former as Milie Fife a
French actress, is especially clever.

Women Brickmakers.

New York Tribune.
a prominent suffragist, who is a member
of the international committee on woman
suffrage, says that her only perquisite in
that capacity has been a beautiful photo
graph of a woman wheeling a barrow of
bricks. IL seems that Holland recently
passed a law prohibiting women from work
ing in brick factories at night so those
women who had been thus employed were
discharged The women Immediately went
to the men who Were employed in the brick
yards outside the factories, at work that
was considered very much harder than that
which the women were doing, and proposed
to swap work with them. This was done.
Some time after members of the Dutch
Woman ssSuffrage Association sent a sculp-
tor to make a statue of the woman brick
maker T. send to industrial exhibition.
They expected to find her round-shouldered
and miserable. They found her strong and
robust. CThe photograph of the statue
shows a beautiful and smiling woman OF
magnificent physique) Although the women
were working harder, they were healthy
and happy, because they were working out

Liege, Belgium. He writes TO the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor that Belgian
manufacturers of tableware have succeeded
in making an unbreakable dish. He de-
scribes the dish as resembling the finest
translucent china.
Its adamantine quality is due to a spe-
cial hardening process and 10 the nature OF
the crystal used in its manufacture. So
hard is the dish that e is said that a
plate can be substituted for a hammer in
driving nails into wood The consul re-
ports that he las seen plates of this ware
hurled to the stone floor of kitchen and
go bounding along the length of the room
without suffering the least injury.
one of these dishes can be put into boil
ing water and then plunged into ice water.
without so much as cracking the surface.
This is all very interesting; and we are
not disposed to take issue with what the
consul says he has seen with his own eyes;
but we submit that the real test OF the
ware Will come when IL is introduced into
the United States and is used by our servant
Sirls. If il survive them il is entitled 10
