The last sad rites of the late Miss Mary Rourke, were yesterday unusually will attended, both from her late home and from St. Patrick's church. which testified to the appreciation of her num- berless friends, of her superior quali- ties of mind, character and heart. The solemn high mass of requiem was cele- brated by the Rev. Father Finnegan, who paid a merited and beautiful trib- ute to Miss Rourke. The music was very impressive. Professor Brennan presided at the organ. The Gregorian mass was rendered. Miss Josephine Conway sang the offertory most in- pressively, and at the conclusion of the service sang most touchingly .'There is a Beautiful Land on High

Lynching, as Seen by Thomas Nelson
Page-"Lynching of Negroes: It's Cause
and Prevention" is the title of a startling
article, from the pen of Thomas Nelson
Page. which appears in the January num-
Der of The North American Review. The
article is positively grim in the frankness
with which it deals with the subject. Mr..
Page recalls the fact that for time the
ordinary course of the law was relied on,
in the main, to meet the outraging of
white women by negroes, but several evils
resulted therefrom:
The chief one was that the ravishing of women,
instead of diminishing, steadily increased The

the real sympathy of the race was mainly with
the criminal rather than with his victim. An
other evil was the dreadful necessity of calling

she rarely did, was already bowed to earth by

AT THE THEATERS
Bijou-"RudoIph and Adolph."


Rudolph and Adolph,'' dramatic con-
traption announced on the program as a
"farcical melange,' is at the Bijou this
week. Rudolph is horse doctor with a
termagant for a wife; Adolph a ladies'
tailor with a better half who is young
charming and devoted to her minor frac-
ton. Rudolph and Adolph look as much
alike as the two Dromios. Even their
wives get them mixed, which is fortunate
for Rudolph, but rather tough on Adolph
That is the plot. Not much OF a plot, to
be sure, but sufficient, like Mercutio' 5
wound, to serve.
Mason and Mason, who presented the
piece at this playhouse last season, still
have the leading roles. They are Ger
man dialectieians with a liking for man
gled English, a preference which seems to
be warranted by the approval of their
audiences. Bessie Phillips, the soubrette,
sings very much like a Water-whistle such
as may be bought on the street corners
which is an accomplishment not to be
despised. However, she dances well and
she is good to look at Magda Henry Foy
does creditable bit Of acting as the
shrew.
Musically. the best thing on the program
is an operatic duet sung by Mr.. Bates and
Miss Mckenzie. in which snatches are in
terloped from "Pinafore,' ''Mikado,'' DO
hemian Girl" Martha" and number
of other operas, not to mention Die Meis-
tersinger" and princess Bonnie Then
there is the inevitable "Bedelia' and the
customary travesty on "Hiawatha.'
The "Brighteye Sisters" Jessie and
Tesse, whose names do not appear upon
the program, contribute good acrobatic
dance and contortion act. There is no
attempt at scenic display and the cos
tunes look rather tawdry from much use.
