There are three acts, each with a separate setting in 'Harriet's Honey moon,' the new Ditrichstein comedy which is being so successfully present. ed by that charming actress. Mary Mannering, and a strong supporting company at the present time. These three acts take place in mythical Ger man watering place which has for it's prototype, Carlsbad or Aix-les-Bains or any other of the well known German health resorts MT. Ditrichstein is said to have told story extremely well, the situations most of them being provoca- tive of the greatest merriment, while there are some which give the charm ing star an excellent opportunity to show what fine emotional actress she really is. Miss Mannering's supporting company includes Arthur Byron, who plays the. opposite part to the star; Thomas A. Wise, the police inspector; Henry Kolker. German crown prince; Adolph Jackson, Edward See, Louis Massen, Kate Lester, Louise Hol- lister, Virginia Staunton, Lillie Hall, Emma Janvier, and other players of repute. Mary Mannering in "Harriet's Honeymoon will be seen at the Fly perion on Wednesday night, February 3.

Charles Frohman has entered into a five years arrangement to star Will liam Collier in comedies written espe- cially for him by the best authors. The first in which lie will present MT. Col Her is "The Dictator" by Richard Harding Davis. An elaborate produc- ton and strong supporting cast will be given. Among Mr. Golfers con- freres are Edward Abeles, John Barry more, George F. Nash, Nannette Com stock, Lucille Watson and Louise AL len.

MELANCHOLY RUSSIA.
Russia a Weak Nation When Viewed
From the Inside.

From the Inside.
The general Russian life, as I thus
saw 1t, while intensely interesting in
many respects. was certainly not
cheerful Despite the frivolity domin-
ant among the upper class and the
fetishism controlling the lower classes,
there was, especially in that period OF
calamity, a deep undertone Of melan-
choly. Melancholy. indeed, is a mark
ed characteristic OF Russia, and, above
all. OF the peasantry. They seem sad
even in their sports: their songs al
most without exception are in the
minor key; the whole atmosphere is
apparently charged with vague dread
OF some calamity. Despite the sup
preston of most Of the foreign Jour-
rals. and the plotting out of page af-
ter page Of the newspapers allowed TO
enter the empire despite all that Sc
cret police could do in REFRESHING I'M
favorable comment. 1t became gener-
ally known that all was going wrong
in Crimea. News came Of reverse az
ter reverse; of defeats of the Alma
and Inkerman. and. as a climax. the
loss OF Sevastopol and the destruction
Of the Russian feet. In the midst OF
IL all, as Is ever the case in Russian
wars, came utter collapse in the COM
missiariat department.; everywhere
one heard hints and finally detailed
stories of scoundrelism in high places:
of money which ought to have been
appropriated to army supplies. but
which had been expended at the gamb-
ling tables OF Homburg or in the Breda
quarter at Paris.
Then IL was that there was borne in
upon me the conviction that Russia.
powerful as she seems when viewed
from the outside. Is anything but
strong when viewed from the inside.
To say nothing Of the thousand eyi.
dent weaknesses resulting from autoc-
rscy-the theory that one man. and

There were certainly many noble char

The lesser irrigation enterprises that

the upper courses OF the river. The
grade OF the latter Is so fiat through
the desert that diversion canal must
