Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

There was another. big rush to see Vanella's horses at the Jacques yes ter'lay. the theater being taxed to it's utmost at both afternoon and evening performances. The horses make q rarely popular attraction. the sensa- tiOnal boxing bout between two huge stallions being the most nerve-stirring thing seen on this stage in many q moon. For all its sensatiOnalism. though, the boxing scene is attractive as Illustrating the seemingly endless possibilities of equine education, and while the exhibition partakes in way of the circus, it is. nevertheless. charmingly entertaining. The other features of the bill incline strongly to comedy. albeit the marvellous hand balancing of Fred ZObedie has dis tinct tinge of novelty. Comedy and singing by the Messenger Boys Trio, lively comedietta entitled "The Vic tor by Edgar Allen and company. an amusing monologue by Charles Ernest. and comedy musical turn by the Three WestOns. keep the fun moving Nina Collins and the electrograph complete the bill and make 1t splen- didly entertaining throughout. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

audience that could be crowded into the theater.
 Mrs Madge Carr Cooke occupied the stellar position in the character of Mrs Wiggs, and the quaint. homely, honest and goodly soul embodied in that character was made more than interesting and attractive in the pre- sentation by Mrs Cooke. Much of the success of the production depends very much on the correct portrayal of this character and that success was fully attained last evening. And what company surrounded her, every character star i'll herself or himself. LOvey Mary by Miss Bessie Banescale, Miss Hazy by Miss Helen Lowell, d wonderfully enacted role; Miss Lucy by Miss Nora Shelby; Mrs Eichorn by Miss Lillian Lee. one of the strangest made-up characters seen on the local stage: Mrs Schultz by Miss Anna Fields: Asia by Miss May McManus; Mir Stubbins by our old friend, Will T. Hodge; Mir Wiggs by Oscar Eagle, who wrote the play "A Roadside Mar riage," recently presented by local company: Billy Wigss by Argyle Campbell; Chris Hazy. the one-legged character. by Taylor Granville. and the little children who did their DOT tion. all of them added much to the general success. It is quaint play presented by quaint characters, and a thoroughly enjoyable one.

MRS WIGGS."

There were laughs and tears in Poli's theater last night during the presentation of the three act character comedy of Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" Any person present who en- tered the theater with fit of the blues and was not fully cared before he or she left should consult special ist on his Or her case. It certainly is q delightful comedy. filled to the brim with humOr and at times seasoned a
 little with pathos. As the author says, it is character comedy. and the best part of 1t all is that the success of the presentation is not confined to one character alone. for all combine to
 make q most delicious feast. Only T
 small audience saw the production.
 and yet such q presentation as was
 given last night deserves the largest

"OUR NEW GIRL"

Everyone who attends theater to witness comedy expects to be amused and entertained. They don't want anything serious. They want to laugh. A farce comedy with plot of any merit is seldom seen. A cyclone or lt.erriment is not anticipated. Yet that is just what is promised in Our New Girl" Cllie Akerstrom has created q new character, a funny Dutch servant does the wrong thing in the wrong place. She interprets English as it is spoken and does literally as she is told to do. which causes many ludicrous complications; yet she is not the whole show by any means. The other parts < in the hands of the St Joseph Dramatic club, who will support her, will help along the fun, and the evening will be one to be remembered. The time, the place for this feast of fun will be Polls theater this evening.

sWAYNE VOTE TODAY.
House Agreed to Settle Impeachm ma n
 Case at once.

House Agreed to settle Impeachment nt Case at once.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-With an agreement reached to vote on the Swayne Impeachment articles at 3;30 this afternoon the debate in the house was carried on at high pressure for more than five hours. Mir. GrosvenOr furnished the text for a very vigorous speech by Bourke Cochran by the reading of letter from Judge Pardee If New Orleans declaring that politics was at the bottom of the impeachment proceedings. The fact of judge trans uniting such letter. Mir. Cochran de clared dramatically. was a monstrous spectacle
 Mir Grosvenor asserted that there was no ground presented for impeach- ment in the report of the committee. The other defenders of the Florida judge during the day were Messrs. La cey of Iowa. Nrvin of Ohio. Moon of Pennsylvania and Crumpacker of In diana. MT. Lamar of Florida closed the debate for th. day. reviewing the sentiment of his state and the record of Judge Swayne. He declared there was ample ground for impeachment.

JAMES K. HACkETT.

There was lively demand to-day for seats for James K. Hackett's en- gagement in 1.-The Fortunes of the King" tomorrow evening at Polls. indicating that the distinguished TO mantle actor will be greeted by very large audience. The play is of exactly the sort in which the star should shine at his greatest brilliancy. The hero. Charles the Second of England. was in his younger years just the dashing. light witty gallant that Mir Hackett delights to represent. His tory has some unkind facts to disclose of the latter years of King Charles, but in his youth he was, indeed, an ideal hero. Charles, it will be remem- bered, was sent into exile in France at the age of fifteen and remained there until he was twenty-one. At that point in his checkered career he was proclaimed king by the Scottish parliament. An inkling of his mad cap character may be gained from the fact that the canny Scots put him on his good behavior and required him to sign articles of repentance" before they pledged themselves to his sup port These conditions lay heavily upon the gay-spirlted youth and it is not unlikely that he many a time wish ed himself well out of the bargain. If such was the case Cromwell cut the Gordian knot for him by routing his supporting army in the battle of Wor- cester. The action of the play occurs at just this time when the defeated Charles found himself free to love and fight and go wherever fancy led him outside of England. Upon the death of Cromwell, Charles returned to his own and for twenty-five years ruled with unlimited power, and, his tory says. over-merrily. Of this period of his career, however. the play has naught to do. Mir Hacketts earlier portrayals of romantic characters are we'll remembered in Waterbury and he has here. as elsewhere, very large following of admirers. His present characterization will be especially in- teresting because for the first time he appears as historic parsonage and a most interesting one. Prices are 25. 30, 75 cents. $1 and $1.5O.

sf Jewish faith So successful has this informal petition been that the matter has been brought officially be- fore the new Russian minister of the interior. from whom the whole world now expects favorable recommenda- tion to the czar.
 '"rhe interpretation of the immigra- tion laws. which often works hardships to Jewish immigrants has. through the agency of Chairman Wolf, often been modified in favor of the victims of re- ligious persecution. There is no doubt but that the immigration question will soon require the combined wisdom of the American Jews to prevent the framing of nationarlaws which might prove inimical to the Jewish immi- grant" t.

BARGE CANAL ACT.
Entire Question Referred For Attor.
 ney Generals Opinion.

ALBANY. \. r.. Jan. 1S.-For over two hours the senate debated the prop osltion to ask the attorney generals opinion on the validity of the barge ranal act and after considering sey- eral substitute measures defeated Sen ator Brackett's original resolution by vote of .o to 10. This resolution. originally introduced last week, re guested she attorney general to decide whether the canal law infringed the section of the federal constitution pro- tecting navigable waters.
 When Senator Prackett called for the adoption of his resolution Senator Gas sidy of Watkins offered an amendment referring to the attorney general the entire question of constitutiOnaiity. He maintained that the act contained many questions which could not legally have been submitted to the popular vote. Senator Hill of Buffalo rba1lpioned tho cause of the procsnal people. de cIaring that the amendment was not germane and that the attorney general should be asked only one question al a time
 We quite understand" remarked Senator Grady. that all this smoke and fuss and fun is part of the cam paign-- He imputed to the supporters of the Rrackeit measure had faith. as serting that their course was only cloak for a general attack upon the whole canal proposition. which would eliminate ss soon as the opposition forces had had time to confer and ar range their plans in a bill for it's re peal Replying 10 a question of Sen stor RaineS.
