PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.
"The Lion and the Mouse

A play which has scored one of the
greatest succe sses of the past ten years
will be produced by Henry 3. Harris
at the Salt Lake theatre next Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday. THE Lon
and the Mouse" by Charles Klein.
The success of the piece which had
its premiere in Boston in October, 1905,
was immediate. and after an engage
ment of four weeks there it was trans
ferred to the Lyceum theatre, New
York, where it has been presented ever
since to the fire limits of the theatre.
In fact, this play has a record which no
other dramatic production can boast
it is the only drama to have run
through an entire summer without a
single break. and will in a very short
time be in its twelfth month at one
theatre.
The central figure in the play is one
of extraordinary interest and the theme
is timely. Mr.. Klein has taken as his
central figure money baron of the
present day who wants to be a supreme
leader i'm monetary affairs, a financial
Julius Caesar. an Alexander signing
for a more mOneyed world TO conquer.
His will is law and any one who
crosses him in its exercise has to
fall. He rules his subordinates and
his family with a sceptre Of iron,
but he is not without pateT-
nal love nor is he unkindly as a hus-
band. He simply has his way to carry
out his ideas for the advancement of
himself. and loves power more than he
does gold. which to him is only a means
to obtaining his ambitious ends He
has no idea of financial morality. Men
are to be bought and sold. and he is
simply the highest bidder for their in
fiuence. With him nearly every man
has his price When he cannot buy
men he plots their downfall as he does
that of Judge ROssmore of the supreme
bench, who has rendered decisions adj
verse to corporations in which this
multi-millionaire is Interested.
The author has made the central
character an impressively natural crea-
ton: he has ali the marks of man of
decision who does not hesitate at
adopting any means for carrying out

A good deal of complaint has been
made, and with some justice. by first
nighters at the OrDheum. They say
that it is the exception. rather than the
rule. for the opening bill to be put on
as advertised. The records seem 10
bear out the statement Almost in
variably one or two of the scheduled
acts arrive too late TO enter the pro-
gram or not at all. 1t has happened
that the missing acts were very heavily
featured. Perhaps a considerable per-
centage OF the audience went 10 the
Orpheum TO see those very acts. In
stead of seeing what they paid to see,
they were regaled with local talent.
Now p lapse or two of this character
may be excused, but when it becomes
4 habit the first-nighters are justified in
protesting.

composer, LeoncaVallo, at the taber-

Ministers Accused of Graft.

Chicago.-Graft has taken posses
sion of the Christian ministry, accord
ing to DIR. Charles E. Hewitt of the
University of Chicago Divinity School.
In an address to the theological stu
dents DIR. Hewitt declared that min
listers neglect their religious duties
and use their positions for financial
gain by questionable methods.
Charges of illegitimate connections
with insurance companies, advertising
agencies and other business enter
prises were made against the preach
ers by the university ecclesiast. Money
schemes, in which members of the
church congregations are oftentimes
used as victims, are indulged in by
many ministers as a side line to their
pulpit work. he told the students.
Dr. Hewitt decried the prevalence OF
graft among religious leaders as a
chief cause for the deficiency in the
ministry of to-day and a menace to the
spread of religion. He urged his stu
dents to avoid temptations to graft,
which he declared they would meet at
every hand.

Growth of Forestry.

The annual report of the secretary
of agriculture presents striking re.
sumo of the growth of forestry in the
past seven years, and of the part in
this growth which has been taken by
the forest service.
During the past year" writes the
secretary, the government work in
forestry entered upon a new phase.
Practical work in the actual introduc.
tion of forestry began in 1898. But ii
was not until February l., 1906. when
the care of the national forest reserves
was transferred 10 the Department OF
agriculture, that the forest service be.
came an administrative organization.
This transfer was logical out.
come of the recent work of the service.
During the last six or seven years il
has passed through remarkable de.
velopment, which has followed but not
kept pace with its demonstration OF
capacity for public usefulness. On
July /, 1898, the division of forestry
employed eleven persons, of whom six
filled clerical or other subordinate no
sitions and five belonged to the scien.
tific staff. OF the latter, two were pro-
fessional foresters. The division pos.
sessed no field equipment, practicallS
an vi us WORK was ONCE work.
AT the opening of the present fiscal
year the employees of the forest service
numbered S21. of whom 1853 were pro-
fessional trained foresters. Field work
was going on in twenty-seven states
and territories, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from Canada to Mex
leo. Over 100000 acres of private for
ests were under management recon-
mended by the service, and applica-
tions on file for advice from owners
contemplating management covered
100000 acres more. During the year
nearly $1,000 letters were sent out
from the offices at Washington, the ma
jority of them in reply to requests for
information and advice from the pub
lie, of kind which could not be met
by printed information.
