The announcement of the Great
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers United

odies are described as both intensely
thrilling and strangely interesting.
The gay capital Of England lends its
most popular equestrian feature, the
Seven O'Briens, whose combined
equestrian and park brake bareback
and acrobatic novelties will doubtless
amaze all beholders here as they did
there. They are classed as the only
absolutely new equestrian perform
ers seen in any arena for half cen,
fury.
The Prosper Troupe who have set
all Europe in an uproar, which feature
this great show is the first to intro
duce. AT the head Of all home or for
eign acrobatic families stands the
Dinus Troupe, who will appear in Their
new and the only aerial stage acrobat
ic innovation.
If your out-of-town friends want tc
see the most magnificent street
parade and the greatest show or
earth, the low excursion rates accord
ed to the enormous Adam Forepaugf
and Sells Brothers aggregation viii

The Island of Haiti

Secretary Hay, announcing the arrangement for the
control of the finances of Santo Domingo expressly dis
claimed any intention of assuming protectorate but
nobody is expected for moment to doubt that protect

Indies we'll Central and South America.
Once Santo Domingo is held with firm grip by the
United States it will become necessary to establish SINH
lar condition of affairs in the republic Of Haiti which is
exact replica of mongre little Santo Domingo located
on the same island and equally in need of regulation
The Inauguration of a system of practical control in
the island of Haiti will make that island to all practical
purposes an American possession, without making it
integral part of the United States Call it what will
that will be the situation.
Cuba has made a Of self government under an
autonomous system guaranteed and supported by the
United States, and Haiti will doubt do equally well
after it has learned that any lapse into anarchy bad
government would promptly lead to the presence of Amer
lean troops
The experience of Cuba and the Philippines indicate
that such countries much better qualified to govern
themselves according to their customs and laws when
upheld by strong power than to submit to form of
government administered from Washington
Undoubtedly, the protectorae the salvation of
Santo Domingo and Haiti Although the island is more
than half the size of Cuba and ten times the of Porto

An engagement sure to excite live
ly interest is the coming of Edna
Wallace Hopper to the Spokane the
alter on Friday and Saturday, Febru-
airy II and Is, for two nights. This
engagement will mark the debut in
this city of this charming and most
popular of our younger condolences
elevated to the realms of starhood,
an honor which she well deserves,
her dainty work having always met
the universal approval of theater-
goers with no small degree of sue
cess at all times.
Miss Hopper's tour Is under the
dictatorship of Frank Mckee, man
ager of the Savoy and Garrick the
aters in New York and the Shaftes-
bury theater, London. The play
which he has arranged for Miss Hop
per's first starring venture is one
which scored a well merited success
in London and is comedy from the
pen of Arthur Law, entitled "a
Country Mouse" originally produced
at the Prince of Wales theater and
Criterion theater, London.
The story of "a Country Mouse"
briefly told relates how Mr.. Bowlby
into the aristocracy and is very un-
comfortable Lady Sylvia takes a
very liberal view Of marital obliga-
lions and fancies herself in love with
the Hon. Archibald Vyse. who is es-
Gaping from her influence and fixing
his affections upon an apparently in
genuous young girl from the coun-
try, Angela. who is stopping with
her friend, Violet Aynsley, in Ken
sington. Miss Aynsley having no.
tieed that Lord Robert Wyckham, for
whom she has a tenderness, only ad-
mires married women. has made him
believe that she has a husband, car
rying out the deception by wearing
wedding ring. In the second act
Vyse pursues his courtship Of Miss
Muir, much to the wrath of Lady
Sylvia, who is on the point of run
ming away with him. Lord Robert
discovers that Miss Aynsley is a
spinster and expresses great indigna-
tion. In the last act a game of hide
and-seek is played by the principal
characters in Vyse's chambers in
Bond street. The complications are
worked out satisfactorily to all con-
cerned before the fall of the final
curtain.
