half an hour He gave other sharp,
imperative commands. and in the twin
king Of an eye the peaceful atmos-
phere was transformed into the turbu-
lent, exciting rush Of activity. The sig
nificance of the fires seen in the hills
could not be cheaply held. Instant nc
ton was demanded The city was fill
ed with the commotion Of alarm; the
army was brought to its feet with
Jerk that startled even the most am
bilious.
The first thing that General Marlanx
| did was to instruct Quinnox to set a
vigilant watch over Baldos. He was
not to be arrested. but it was under
stood that the surveillance should be
but little short Of incarceration. He
was found at the barracks shortly after
the report concerning the signal fires
and told In plain words that General
Marlanx had ordered guard placed
over him for the time being, pending
the result Of an investigation. Baldos
had confidently expected to be thrown
into a dungeon for his affront. He did
not know that Grenfall Lorry stood
firm in his conviction that Baldos was
no spy and was supported by others in
high authority.
Marlanx was botting his wrath and
holding back his revenge for distinct
purpose. Apart from the existence Of
n strong, healthy prejudice in the
guards favor. what the old general be-
lieved and what he could prove were
two distinct propositions. He was
crafty enough, however. to take advan'
tage of condition unknown to Bev-
erly Calhoun. the innocent cause Of oil
bis bitterness toward Baldos.
As he fastened from the council
chamber his eyes swept the crowd Of
eager, excited women in the grand hail.
From among them he picked Beverly
and advanced upon her without regard
for time and consequence. Despite her
animation he was keen enough to sec
that she was sorely troubled. She did
not shrink from him. as he had half
expected, but met him with bold dis

for them by others to produce run, Dockstader is the originator, the m- ventor, the writer. and the creator or the majority of the funny feast he spreads before his patrons. That IS the sort of thing that the metropoli- tan audience demands, and that IS the explanation of his extraordinary sue cess before metropolitan audiences.
 Another great factor in his success is the fact that he is too brainy man to eyer get what is called in common vernacular "a swelled head and he does not depend upon himself to give the entire show; on tho contrary, he surrounds himself not only with the very best singers and dancers in the minstrelsy world. but likewise the best comedians, several of whom are entire Iy fitted to occupy the parts of stars Tn the minstrel world at the head of their own organization. He does not stint his fellow comedians in their opportu- mites for making fun: on the contrary gives them every possible opportunity and announcement, and the more they are liked by tho audiences the better he Is suited. lie is too great to be jealous of anyone.
 During his last stay in New York he was interviewed by the public press on almost every topic of general interest and his humorous and witty comments were quoted with great frequency.
 He will be here with his great show Friday matinee and night at the Mont gomery Theatre.

"rhc Yankee Consul."

An event of unusual importance will be the coming engagement of the de- lightful musical satire, The Yankee Consul" which will be the attraction at the Montgomery Theatre Saturday.
 During the phenomenal run of this brightest of all musical comedies in New York. press and public alike em- phatically declared that it was the cleverest comedy that had been seer in a decade. For an entire season the play was presented in the metropolis, during which time 1t played to record breaking audiences. Its popularity was still further demonstrated by the phe- nomenal receipts during the engage ments in Boston, Chicago. Philadelphia and other large cities.
 Manager John P. Slocum, under whose able directions the play will be seen in the larger cities thls season, has selected Miss Vera Michelena, a beautiful and talented young prima donna and Harry Short, the noted comedian, as the stars, and has selected 8 supporting cast numbering sixty people. The beauty chorus has been especially selected. and pretty, grace full girls, gorgeously costumed. arc in cluded in the personnel
 The stage settings are said to be magnificent productions of the scenic artists craft and the effects are costly.
 "Thc Yankee Consul' is the joint work of Henry M. Blossom and Alfred G. Robyns. The book and lyrics, which abound in bright, delicious humor, are the results of M. Blossoms efforts, while MT. Robyns is responsible for the bright, catchy, tuneful music, with which the play abounds.
 In two acts, both laid in Puerto Plata, San Domingo, the story of The Yankee Consul" Is told. It hinges around the adventures of a typical New Yorker who Is sent away on Consular mission through the efforts of relatives who have suffered long and silently by reasons of his well-developed penchant for turning night into day, They cause him to be sent away in an eHorN to cure him of his prowling about in the wee sma' hours of the morning. In the san Domingo city he falls in love with a widow, well supplied with the goods of this world. and the story IS woven around his love affair, together with the love affairs of the Governor

In Stockholm the problem of feeding the children of the very poor during school hours is solved in a very simple manner. In those schools in which in- struction Is given in domestic economy subjects to the older girls, the food cooked by the pupils Is used in pro Viding dinners to such of the poorer children in the lower standards whose parents are not able to afford them proper meals at home.

A miniature revolution also figures in the story and there Is suffi- cient action throughout the life of the opera to more than supply laughter for the two and one-half hours 1t en- dures.
 The many song hits which are intro duced during the action of the play are: "Ain't it Funny What a Differ ence Just a Few Hours Maker" ''in the Olden Days Tn old New York, 'HoIa," My San Domingo Maid" The Mosquito and the Midge."

 Time was when New York had perpetual minstrel show, Birch, Wam- bold and Backus. For many years this merry trio presided over a theatre bearing their name. and in which the seen and known to the metropolitan lovers of fun. As time went on with It's inevitable evolution in all thlnss' these men passed away. until min strelsy became an occasional entertain ment in the metropolis, and now there remains but one metropolitan mlnstrel who occupies for several weeks each season, theatre on Broadway. Lew Dockstader is now the one black face comedian who commands the patronage of the metropolis.
 During tho month of January, this year. the great New York Theatre, which has almost the largest seating capacity of any theatre in the city, was found to be too small to accommo date the throngs that wanted to see him. Every effort was made by the managers of the theatre to secure a release, from contracts with other com binations which had time engaged in the theatre. in order that Dock stader's run might be extended indeh nitely, but the efforts were not sue cessfuI, and he was obliged to again take to the roads It Is believed next year that he will possibly remain in the metropolis the entire season.
 There is a reason for this Dock stader Is inherently a genuinely funny man. He does not depend upon the slapstick or funny falls for his fun, but does rely upon his brain. He is na- turally both humorous and witty, and while other black face comedians de- pend upon the parrot-likc repetition of stories and gags and songs written

Day." "Patsy's Debut" and other hits, this nimble. frolicsome entertainer was clsssed among the foremost comedians.
 The new venture, The Brand Boy" which is booked for presentation at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night, is said to fully demonstrate the versa tility and general qualifications of the star in question. However. in order to accentuatel such character. 1t was deemed advisable to frame such scenes and incidents as would be most likely to yield proper opportunity for rapid fire fun and goodly proportions of tune fitness.
 For plot and lyrical cohesiveness, tho offering is largely indebted to George Totten smith, and the credit for the admirable musical numbers is divided among such composers as George M. Cohan, Fred Helf, Clarence Angel. Jean Schwartz, Alfred Solman, and others, whose contributions aid in no small measure in completing a harmonious score.
 The foresight of the management pertaining to scenic investiture is con clusiveIy manifest in the wonderfully evident that no effort has been lacking in the accomplishment of the object of the management, the presentation of an established star in a most suspicious manner.
