Lyceum-"In the Palace of the King"

Romance reigns at the Lyceum this
week. The plotting, the craft and the
slnuous wickedness of King Philip II. of
Spain and his court form a background to
set off the great love of Don John of Aus
tria and Donna Maria Dolores de Mendoza
1t is love that rises superior to the pomp
pageantry and plots Of imperial power
and proves that love hath never known
a law beyond it's own sweet WILL" even
'In the Palace of the King"
Marion Crawford's Well-known story is
the same dramatic romance in which
Viola Allen starred with marked success
and it's stirring qualities are not lost
IN the presentation given by the Ferris
Stock company. :
The love theme is artistically handled
and compels interest and admiration. The
course of this true love is anything but
smooth, and the interest is sustained thru
out by the difficulties plots and counter
plots of the king and his minions, who
seek to separate the lovers and put Don
John, who is the idol of the nation, out
of the way. . g.
In presenting an representation created
by the talented Viola Allen, Eva Taylor
essays no easy task, but she rises to the
occasion. AS the ingenious, whole-souled
girl in love with the brave prince, she is
| sWeetly satisfying. In the scene where
| she uSlleS her 1dluSE anu uGCldIeS uuOyl1lS
| fealty to her love, in the throneroom
scene, where she arouses the grandees to
go to the assistance Of her lover, about
to be executed for the kings crime, and
in the cabinet scene, where she faces the
royal murderer and demands her lover s
release, Miss Taylor does strong dramatic
work, and her queenliness compels al
legiance. In the bedroom scene her acting
seems too studied. .t-,st III. p. .
Lawrence Grattan, as the beloved Don
John, is dignifed ard forceful. The Span
ish impetuosity is not brought out strong
ly enough to made an ideal impersonation
and MI. Grattan is prone to pose too much
at times, but he is an intelligent, consci-
entious actor and his Don John is justly
popular. @ 49,.
Richardson Cotton plays the king witt
Judgment and force. Leila Shaw proves
her ability to act the villainess and makes

Mayor David P. Jones warmly de-

Adams had taken up the Minnehaha
matter as soon as there was anything
tangible to be had. Commissioned
Platt B. Walker likewise supported the
Adams cause. In his remarks he called
attention to some peculiar features of
the two communications received from
John F. O'Brien. The signatures could
not possibly have been written by the
same person, and even the spelling of

know what O'Brien was doing at the

Metropolitan creston Clarke In "Mon-
sieur Beaucaire."

] Il 3 d . .
Coming from nobody knows what por-
ton Of the starry armament, now so
thickly studded with manager made stars,
Creston Clarke is something of surprise.
People hereabouts are accustomed to as
ISOLATE Monsieur Beaucaire" and Rich
ard Mansfield. So, to have an unknown
come here and present what is in several
ways more pleasing Characterization, is
an experience calculated to astonish any
but those who would cry "Treason!' at
the carping critic of Mansfield. Clarke as
Beaucaire in the pretty Harrington ro-
nance, so well known as book and play,
is the graceful, polished Frenchman of the
blood royal Lacking the Mansfield strut
and grunt, he moves with ease and speaks
with accent more truly of the character
with shading more artistic and yet
more nearly real Clarke's is not a Mans
field production, but its settings are in
excellent taste. With a support adequate
to a convincing whole he would deserve
full need Of praise

Donald is consistent Duke of Winter
set and Agnes Ardeck a graceful pretty
Lady Mary. The shortcomings of the
others are compensated for in measure
by the charm of the play itself.

AN IDEA IN ADVERTISING
Nebraska. State Journal

Nebraska State Journal.
In several Nebraska cities and towns
the first effective fight ever inaugurated
against the mail-order houses of Chicago
is now in progress Instead Of scolding
the big firms and demanding the abolition
of the rural mail delivery and asking for
restrictive legislation. a few local mer-
chants are buying liberal spaces in their
home papers for the purpose OF showing
the farmers and town people that goods
can be purchased at home more cheaply
and satisfactorily than in Chicago. The
campaign is conducted along definite and
convincing lines. The Chicago prices are
quoted, with freight or express charges
added. Then the merchant tells what
he can do on the same goods, with the
privilege Of examination before they are
taken from the store. If all the country
merchants would adopt this enlightened
and effective policy they could reduce the
Chicago mail-order shipments into Me-
braska by SO per cent in less than five
years.

Taxing Speculation.

Wall street is moving to Jersey. Mad
at the new tax law Of the state of New
York, which was signed by Governor
Higgins against the protests Of all the
mighty magnates of the street, the more
energetic of the traders secured the
services of Mr.. Dill, the corporation
lawyer, who drew up articles of incor-
poration Of the New Jersey Stock ex-
change and filed them at Trenton.
Two dollars hundred shares is what
it now costs to trade in stocks, addi-
tional to other costs already known,
and that indefinite cost always pos
sibility when one goes in. Over in
free, and the saving per diem on the
part of a firm doing large brokerage
business will be considered. Jersey is
the place where the great bulk of the
stocks originate anyway, and there is
no good reason why they should not
be traded in there. Only the thing
will be reversed a bit. Ordinarily a
company is organized under the laws
Of the state of New Jersey, and the
water carefully put in on that side.
Then Wall street takes the stock and
beats the water out. Thus the great
and fourishing industry Of watering
stocks is conducted on one side of the
river and the business of unwatering
them on the other.
The present arrangement has worked
so well that great fortunes have been
made, a daily business of 100000
shares is no longer uncommon on the
New York Stock exchange, and seat
in that body now costs about $4,000,
which is not the reason, however, why
the brokers all stand up. ...
When the bill first came up before the
legislature at Albany, Chicago, Bos
ton, Baltimore, Pittsburg and other
! cities, not excepting staid Philadelphia
raised glad chorus Of song. It was
easy to see that, while New York must
remain the principal center for the
business of trading in stocks, the tax
would make enough difference to cut
the total somewhat and throw the
crumbs to the other cities where stock
exchanges of some size are maintained
But New York has seen this first anc
is already out with move to- fore
stall it.
The financial journals of New Yorl
have been very severe in their crit
cisms Of Governor Higgins for sign
ing the bill, which they claim will
cripple the stock-trading business am
hurt New York financially. They hav
even predicted that his action will de
feat the republican party in.sthe stat
next election; but Mr.. Higgins onl,
reply is that the state needs the money
and of all places, Wall street can bes
afford to give up little, and so h
signed the bill against a howl tina
was loud and long. Well, So on 10
shares when transactions reach 1000
600 shares day, means $4,000 a da
OF revenue for the state. The Cover
nor has the right idea about this BIZ
as a revenue producer.

RELIGIOUS Freedom in Russia.

Espeetacle of the government handing
the education of the youth over to the
state church and the dissenters solemnly
tprotesting against being taxed to propa-
Sgate doctrines to which they do not sub

The situation in Russia has been that

School Children's Eyesight.

Nearly 10000 school children of Min
nesota have defective eyesight, and
barely 10 per cent Of these have had
anything done to relieve their Difficult
ties. This is the report of tests made
by teachers under direction of the state
board of health, and it presents prob
lem that demands attention from the
school authorities. It means that co.
900 school children are straining their
eyes in attempts to study, and that
many of them are acquiring eye trou-
bles and nervous diseases by persistent
work under such conditions.
The board of health has collected the
information, and that is all that it can
do. The school authorities i'm the
thousands Of independent and common
districts Of the state are the only ones
who can do anything with the problem
under present laws. They can require
the pupils with defective eyesight to be
supplied with glasses. Such a rule
would be vigorously opposed, especially
by those who do not feel that they can
afford an examination by an oculist
It would be a grievous hardship to
many, and while defective. eyesight is
an ailment needing attention just as
much as any other chronic trouble, it
would be hard to convince parents in
such circumstances Of the fact. Prob
ably the most that will be done by
school authorities is to notify parents
and leave it to their Judgment what
shall be done.

THE UNEASY CHAIR

DO WE READ TOO MUCH OR TOO
LlTTLE?--The editor of The Century
Magazine voices his belief in more reading
more reading Of the careful sort He
says in the May number of his monthly:
But, according to observation, there is
vastly too little reading done, rather than too
much; and we think it fortunate that Presi-
dent Roosevelts example has been set forth
as an illustration of what can be accomplished,
IN the most occupied of lives, to broaden the
Intellectual: outlook. His example will serve
everywhere as stimulus. And the slow reader
should not be discouraged, but encouraged rath-
err; for If he really has the "dispostion" to
read, the years end, under. whatever difficult
ties, will give him also a. list of readings ac-
complished which will shame the Indifferent and
vastly increase his own intellectual wealth.
Reading for the relief of troubled thoughts, as
mere, sedative, is UNNECESSARILY valuable, as
many an overweight brain has found; and SO
is reading for the highest forms of pleasure.
for healthy enjoyment as we'll as for desired
information for new outlooks, for the broaden
Ing of sympathies and the correction of narrow
views. for culture-above all, for inspiration.
OF course, reading may become mere indulg-
ence and dissipation, habit to be corrected.
