ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE Old Homestead"

Although It was raining, THE Old
Homestead" drew two large crowds 10
the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon
and last night. On both occasions the
house was taxed TO It's capacity and
the play was enjoyed to the utmost. 1t
is wonderfully effective after all these
years. Twenty times has 1.-The Old Home
stead" gone ON tour, but its popularity Is
undimmed and its hold upon the public
is apparently as strong as ever
Probably no better rural drama was
ever written. Certainly, none has been
more genuinely humorous and none has
struck nearer home in delineating these
quaint New England characters, who
have found a permanent place in litera-
ture and the drama. No doubt, the play
is destined to prosper for many years
more and viii continue to increase the
golden harvest which has fallen to Dem
man Thompson. 1t is often compared TO
rip Van Wrinkle" The two plays are
similar in their appeal to the simple
human emotions and character drawing
that never fails to touch a responsive
chord In the human heart
The company presenting the play last
night was perfectly capable and sat
isfaetory Denman Thompson was missed,
but his role of Josua Whitcomb was we'll
presented by William Lawrence, who
seems TO have grasped the possibilities
of such role and TO have imbued 1t
with the sympathy necessary to make
It convincing.
Burke Clarke as Cy Prime and Charles
II. Clark as Seth Perkins contributed
some fine comedy while Fred Clare. as
the tramp who reformed, gave a capital
performance. Maggie Dryer as Aunt Ma
tilla, was also pleasing. The songs of
the double quartette were encored. Sew
eral good voices were distinguished among
the singers and the songs were well rem
dered.

There Is no man better known to the
Tennessee public than James D. Rich

Fifth Tennessee district. and his position

National House Of Representatives nude
him familiar figure throughout the
country. Some years ago Mr. Richard
son compiled the semi-offcial work
known as Messages and Documents Of
the President" which, because of the
data 1t contained and the excellent man=
ner of the compilation Was q valuable
addition To the United States history. H
has now produced another book of similar
character, which. though less voluminous
will be of equal value with his former
work and in some respects of more
pointed interest. as It covers an acute
period in the history of the nation cor
corning which historical accuracy IS very
essential
Z Mr.. Richardson's latest production Is
Messages and Papers of the Confeder

work. 1t Is the compilation in printed
form of all the official papers of the Con-
federate government which fell into tie
hands of the Federal authorities after the
southern armies had evacuated Richmond.
Comment is unnecessary TO suggest the
historical value of such work and lts
the means. leisure or inclination to search
through files Of mustY papers in tho
archives At Washington
The work includes the constitution of
the Confederate states and the recorded
proceedings Of the provisional Congress
at Montgomery as we'll as the messages
OF the President and other official papers
throughout the life of the Confederate
government
A very important feature IS the diplo-
matte correspondence. which shows
among other things, the efforts made by
the Confederate government TO obtain re-
cognitlon from the European nations.
The book is complete in two volumes
of convenient library size and handsome
ly bound in red cloth. with gilt lettering.
Each volume Is embellshed with four

The Maid and the Mummy


When Richard Garlic wrote "The Maid
and the Mummy" he tried to subordinate
the chorus. He concocted one of his
cleverest plots and gave his comedians
the brightest and wittiest lines he ever
wrote. But when the musical piece
was finally produced Mr. earle found
that the music and the dances were so
popular and he had collected such lot
of chorus girls that the latter in some
respects took the premier honors away
from his comedians. Audiences never ap-
peared to tire of the Polly" Peculiar

sented to him for the emperor the col

to Russia after the conclusion Of peace
General Dauiloff promised to present

would suitably reward those who haC
so faithfully upheld the honor of thei
