Lyceum-"The Brixton Burglary"

1t is indeed a tangled web woven by
the men who first practice to deceive
their wives in the clever farce comedy,
played with the proper dash and spirit
by the Ralph Stuart company at the
Lyceum this week.. The untangling Of
the web shows the ingenuity Of the au-
thor, the cleverness of the players and
results in many hearty laughs and a
pleasant going away feeling on the part
of the audience. 'E. -"
OF course 1.-THE Bfixton Burglary is
exaggerated and unreal. 1t would not
be a farce comedy If it was not. And
yet we all go to these digestion promot-
ers, enjoy theusther olg AND when We go

Ralph Stuart Is the leading exponent Of
the noble art offAnanias, and he certainly
acquts himself with credit. He intro
duces a lot Of good comedy business Into
his part. Septimus Pontifex, and gives
additional proof Of his versatility. The
members of his company join in the pre-
varications with proper esprit du corps,
and the entire company work together
with a spirit and dash that the comedy
must have to be worth while. Miss Far
mum does an especially good piece of
work as the housemaid, Charles Rowan
plays James, the manservant, in way
that provokes uproarious applause, and
altho one grows a little, weary Of Mr..
Beattie's putting actiyity as the father

whole performance has the Stuart finish,
and it fully subserves it's only real pur-
pose-to produce a good laugh.

Unique-PolIte Vaudeville.


1t is question whether this weeks bill
at the Unique suffers by being one act
short. Certainly the curtailment is an
advantage, unless the act added to bring
the offerings up to the usual number
were better than those already on the
program. p,
The motion pictures, showing winter
straw ride, are decidedly good. The
Yorke- Herbert trio have an acrobatic,
singing and dancing sketch which, tho
stereoptyped, is faultessly executed.
Westin's impersonation of Queen Victoria
is noteworthy, and some of his other
nake-ups are far from bad. The" Buck
eye State quartet undoubtedly pleases it's
audience, and that is a high recommen-
dalton. Herman La Fleur has an illus
trated song which is too suggestive Of
After the BALI to be much of a hit with
the present generation.
But the most conspicuous offering is a
tabloid melodrama of Mexican life, called
"Beggars," presented by Ann Hamilton
and company. In 1t Miss Hamilton, as
Carita, wears two highly picturesque and
very becoming costumes, which are about
the only thing to recommend it.. Why
MeXicans conversing among themselves
should use vile "greaser" dialect is a
question which the author must. answer,
among others. Why the heroine and vii
lain should PREFER, in their death agony,
to roll awkwardly down f1imsy flight
of stage stairs instead of dying grace
fully on the floor is one thing, among
many others, which the actors must ex-
plain - 49,.

!, ADJUSTMENTS

MetropoIitan---4The Little u Gray Lady,
= Charming Pollock found the 4people for
his latest play, 1.-THE Little Gray Lady"
in g second-rate boarding house, and
they are just the commonplace creatures
that You might find in ar ordinary board
ing house anywhere. There is the in
quisitiye landlady, who would marry her
daughter to one sbfi the boarders, willy
nilly; the daughter herself, vain, affected,
overdressed and underbred; her father,
shiftless and complaining, with for
tune always around e the corner; the
boarders, young men and women, with
their interests, loves and rivalries, and
the inevitable boy who will run errands
or turn the ice cream freezer for con-
slderation Out Of these characters Mr..
Pollock has constructed a honely play
that holds the interest thru it's love mar
rative, which is told with a setting of
everyday accessories and incidents that
furnish plenty of humor. . .,~
Altho the story Is placed in Washing
ton there is no glitter of a diplomats
uniform or hint of politicians graft.
1t IS all about the weakness Of a young
department clerk, who makes a hundred
dollar bill out of pieces torn from con-
demned bills. and the strength Of a
young woman, his fellow worker and old
playmate, who loves him and makes him
strong thru his very weakness.
Miss Paulina Fredericks plays the part
Of Anna Gray, "the little gray lady,
with real womanliness, gentle, tender,
brave and loving. Her trust and conf
dence in the man she loves never waivers
even tho he stands confessed a thief, and
she is. ready, glad to sacrifice herself II
necessary, to save him from the conse-
quences of his guilt. When he comes
back to her, freed from the glamor OF
the cheap little Irritation that nearly
wrecked both their lives, she forgives
him generously and rewards him royalty
| with never a thought of what he has
been, and so real is her belief in his fu-
ture that she carries the audience with
her in the conviction that something may
yet be made Of Ferriton Carlyle.
Stephen Grattan as Carlyle, the treas
ury clerk, is weak, impressionable, Gull
pable, but thru his love for his little
gray lady, he acquires a certain dignity

| Edward Elsner is very forceful, kindly
secret. service man. whose love for the

Sherman s March to the Sea.

Tho furry that has been occas1oneo
In the south by the attempt or fa'hel
Sherman to ride over the ground trav-
arsed nv General Sherman in his march
to the sea, is perhaps natural, because
General Sherman s achievement marked
the utter breakdown Of the contedera-
CIV The son. public parade over the

Of cavalry had a caddish and offensive
air. and the president was quick to see
the unnecessary offense to the south and
to call off the troops. Of course, there
is no objection to Father Sherman gath
ering historical material, but he does
not need an escort of cavalry. A dis
tino1ished citizen of Minneapolis and
weu-known historian has recently gone
over the battle fields of the rebellion
gathering material. DR.. Hosmer did
not have a guard and he was every
where received with genuine southern
hospitality.
There has been, however. a curious
and rather unhistorical effort in the
south to minimize General Sherman s
march as military feat. Some of the
southern newspapers have been saying
that it was unnecessary to recall the
northern general s brutal feat Of march
ing thru a defenseless country and
looting it cruelty as he went
Of course, the region over which Gen

contribution to support his army, which

Mr.. Midgely on Making Rates.

Is 3 =
II Mr.. j. NJ. .Midgely is taken as
good witness, the. passage Of the rate
bill would prove a disappointment to
those who expect it to remove all
cause of complaint of discrimination
between localities. Probably Mr.. Nudge
ly is right in this assumption. The
rivalries between localities are so fierce,
and in many instances so unreasoning,
that law could not reach or settle them
satisfactorily to both parties. s..
He argues that the only method by
which even an approximation to a set
Element can be reached is by reference
Of the disputes to arbitration, which
latter must necessarily have the prior
assent Of the parties at issue.
MI. Mldgely gives numerous instances
of disputes between distributing points,
notably long standing contest which
was ,waged between New York on one
side and Baltimore and Philadelphia on
the other, over grain rates. He shows
that this was settled by an agreement
between the New York Central, the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore g. Ohio
to give the latter ports differential
on the all-rail rate from Chicago. He
also has to admit that Commodore Van
derbllt: was compelled to Withdraw from
the agreement by the insistent demands
OF New York that he stand by the city.
Gra1n-rate wars succeeded, by which
the roads, lost millions of dollars. Diff
ferentlals were re-established after a
report by an advisory commission COM
posed of A. G.. Thurman, E: B. Wash
burne and Thomas M. Cooley in 1882.
A year ago these differentials were con
hrmed by the interstate commerce com.
mission, to which appeal had been
made But Mr.. Midgely makes the
point that the railroads participated
and that the proceedings were merely
an arbitration.
/ 1t Is quite evident that Mr.. Midgely
overlooks the most recent DEVELOPMENTS
OF the doctrine of arbitration. While
1t is admitted that the prior assent of
the parties to the. issue is necessary
1t IS not admitted that their suisse
quent assent to the award is necessary
Public policy demands shat there be
an end to- disputes The, difference be-
tween the award of rate by the inter
state commerce commission under the
Hepburn bill and under an agreement
| between the carriers is that from the
former one of the. roads cannot with

and overthrow all the results. Thu

Dowie S bill of complaint, asking for
writ of injunction allowing him to re-
gain his former control over Zion City
properties, has been filed in the circuit
court Of Lake county, at Waukegan. =
The answer is signed By fourteen Of
the leaders of the Voliva faction and
sets forth the belief that under Dowie g
further administration of affairs lions

and all industries will be disintegrated.
Under Voliva s rule, it is asserted,
new manufacturing plants will be -es-

Among the new industries that will be
founded, it is promised, are stone and
concrete manufacturing plants. the raw
material having been discovered, on

- Two. Grand Old. Men.

At a., time when the claim is being
freely made that the world is run by
young men, and when noted physician
is accused Of denying to any man over
40 creative ability, it is gratifying to
the oldsters to note the life and works
OF two men who have reached the al
lotted threescore years and ten whose
genius seems, Notwithstanding, to have
but reached it's fruition. Speaker Can
non Of the American house of repre-
sentatives is 70 years old this week,
and for the first time in his life he is
being seriously mentioned for the presi-
sdency.<:s: w neither she will retS beyond
the mention stage is immaterial, the
speaker is presidential size, and if he
is not nominated it will not be be-
cause the republican convention con-
siders him too old or infrm. He is a
the exacting duties of the speakership
with the watchfulness Of a man Of 40.
There is no sign Of mental or physical
decay in the speaker.
Another old man toward whom the
eyes Of the world are turned is Joseph
Chamberlain. In a few days he will
celebrate the thirtieth anniversary Of
his service as member for Birmin CHAM,
during which time he has never been
defeated, and never, not even in
the trying campaign Of this year, when
unionists were falling like tenpins all
| fos1 Id 10 l..
thru with him. A few days after his
thirtieth anniversary Of parliament
tary service Joseph Chamberlain will
be 70 years old. At SO Gladstone be-
came prime minister for the first time;
at II he made his famous Midlothian
campaign; so Joseph Chamberlain has
precedent for his activity. At II Glad
stone tried to upset century of prece-
dents in the rule of Ireland, as Cham
berlain at 20 is attempting to overturn
the fiscal policy Of the empire, settled
for fifty years. |.~t
With an overwhelming majority but
recently returned against him, one
would think that Chamberlain would
dream of leisure and surcease Of poll.
tics. But he thinks Of nothing of the
kind. He is every night at his post
in the house of commons, battling for
protection with the avidity Of gen.
eral on whom devolves responsibility
for campaign.
Unlike Gladstone, Chamberlain is not
a faddist on the subject of health. He
never cut down trees nor got off any
taphorisms about the number of dental
knocks to give each portion of food
His own only principle Of health has
been never to walk when he could ride
and never to ride when he could com
mand others to ride to him. Conservation
of energy has been his watchword. Yet
it should be understood that the public
man who takes ordinary care Of his
health gets all the exercise his body
needs, and the best kind of exercise
too, in speaking.
