Lyceum-1tThe Ensiun."

A melodramatic appeal to patriotism
that cannot fail to arouse some enthusi-
assn in an American audience is made
in t'The Ensign" this weeks Offering at
the Lyceum. There is much intrinsic
worth in William Haworth's naval drama
and altho it is a trife too pyrotechnic
at times and at others fails to be convin-
cling, as whole it rings true and is en-
joyable. II. .. ~.-.
There is a pretty love story, but it is
secondary in Importance. The action Of
the hero who kills a defamer of the stars
and stripes and is then ready to- die as
he lived in obedience to the orders of his
officers is the absorbing motif and the
ill-producer. The stereotyped villain
is busy while he lasts, but is disposed Of
early in the play. The final curtain
when the hero is rescued by little Mary
with an order from President Lincoln
could be intensely dramatic if it were not
too prolonged. The psychologist mo-
ment is delayed while the condemned
man stands with the moose dangling
about his neck and his executioners
hanging to the rope to give Jack Dudley
an opportunity to deliver a few senten-
tious phrases.
Miss Eva ,Taylor's sudden call to the
bedside of her. sick, child threw the role
of Alice Greer, the heroine upon Mrs.
Richardson Cotton. The part is not long
nor strikingly, important, yet much credit
is due Mrs. Cotton, who became letter.
perfect in a little over twenty-four hours.
She is an entirely lovable heroine and her
work is artistic and satisfying.

Thrills and Laughs at Wonderland.

Herr Granada and Mile Alma Fedora,
the aerialists at Wonderland, last night
gave their act in full for the first time,
concluding 1t with a very pretty fire.
works spectacle in which they used
revolving electric cascade. Such a series
or nerve-racking high-wire antics has
never before been given here. Their ele-
phant act, because OF its novelty, might
be called their star feature 1t is COM
edy stunt, however, difficult as it is, so
that They win laughter rather than APP
plause 1t can be conjectured, however,
that initiating an elephant on wire only
hVe-elghths Of an inch thick strung
seventy feet above ground is not exactly
funny for the performers themselves.
They are practically blindfolded and use
but one balancing pole between them.
They Introduce fifteen different feats In
equilibrium in the course of their act, a
number Of which are executed together.
The act Of the Ward trio of acrobats
is also a novelty. Two ladders fifteen
feet apart stand perpendicular. They
form human bridge and ascend the
ladder. Two of the performers bend for
ward almost horizontally, their feet rest
ing on the rounds while third is sup
ported between them, head to head with
one of them and his feet resting on the
head of the other. None Of the three
uses his hands in the ascent. ,..
The log-rolling contests in the lagoon
are very lively affairs and make great
deal of fun for spectators. These three
acts constitute a very good entertain
ment in addition to the band concerts
and numerous other features for amuse-
ment and diversion at Wonderland

muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and
nose running, with alternate spells OF
chills and fever. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding
the same with a dose of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its
liberal use soon completely knocked out
the grip"

Demonstration at st. Pauls.

London's unemployed made a demon
stration at st. Paups Cathedral yester-
day afternoon in half-hearted, hope
less and unusual manner. Only a few
hundred of them, with appropriate ban
ners, went in procession from Trafalgar
square TO the cathedral, where they ar
rived dDring the progress of the service
and up the steps OF which they marched
singing the "Marsellaise. Here the
motley crowd was joined by contingents
from other quarters, and all, to the
number of some 1900, began filing into
the cathedral silently and respectfully,
making an incongruous picture in con-
trast with the fashionably dressed wor-
shippers. Such a scene has not been
witnessed at St. PauPs since twenty
years ago, when John Burns, now presI-
dent of the local government board, led
a similar demonstration to the cathedral.
