niIdred Holland.

The management of the JEFF
ferson Theatre takes pleasure
in announcing the appearance OF
the distinguished artists, Mildred
Holland, on the evening of Sat
urday, Feb. II. On this occasion
Miss Holland will present her
remarkably stirring and beauti-
full impersonation of Angela, in
Carina Jordan's "The Lily and
The Prince" which is one of the
strongest romatic dramas ever
staged. It is a play of intense
interest and delicately shaded.
Between the sunshine and rip
ping fountain, with it's pretty
love scene in the first act, and
the dark and sombre Inquisition
Chamber with it's accompaniment
of super emotion in the third act,
there is wide divergence of
dramatic treatment, giving Miss
Holland ample opportunity to
display the histronic powers
with which she is so singularly
gifted. Mr.. Edward G. White
has given THE Lily and The
Prince" massive and beautiful
production. The play has been
lavishly staged and yet in the
scenery and costumes no gar
rishness is seen. The colorinR
and ensemble effects are marked
by the delicacy of treatment
which discloses the true artistic
instinct. That Miss Hollands
acting in "The Lily and The
Prince is appreciated. is evidenc-
ed by the excellent business to
which she is playing.
Miss Mildred Holland made
her first appearance before a
Dallas audience last night at the
Dallas Opera House. presenting
the romatic drama, THE Lily
and the Prince"

first tour of the South, she was
greeted by many personal
friends, besides the many who
gave her a warm welcome for
the reason that she made a very
successful effort to entertain
them.
Miss Holland is as prominent
among the Shriners as she is
professionally, and with her
husband. Edward G. White, who
presents the play lis widely known
among the Masons of the East
and North
"The Lily and the Prince" is
an excellent vehicle for the dis
play of emotions, ranging from
the tenderest to the strongest.
Miss Holland filed all the re-
~quirements and was supported
by a very even company, the
best of whom was Duglas Allen,
whose delineation of the Roman
exquisite left nothing to be desir-
ed.

tie with the Duchess of Ferrara,
to whom Angela, in her effort
to obtain the liberty of her family

apparently compromising her

"WhIte Plague" Sufferer Restored to
Health.

CLINTON, Iowa, May 29.-Harry
Maclay, of this city, aged % years, who
was in the secondary stage of tubercu-
losis, is experiencing a cure which is
considered remarkable.
Five weeks ago he was weak and ILL.,,
scarcely able to walk and troubled
with all the symptoms of consumption.
His sputum was examined by DR.. c. E.
Eagan, of the Illinois health board, at
Springfield, who said he was afflicted
with tuberculosis in an advanced
stage.
In this extremity the father of the
young man, w. J. Maclay, of 113 North
Sixth street, Lyons, thought of a re-
cipe he had received some time before
from an aged man at Chadwick, ILL.,,
who declared that tn preparation
would cure consumption.
He found the prescription and had it
compounded. The ingredients of the
medicine are butter, turpentine and
organic oil. After using it for five
weeks, young Maclay had gained six
pounds in weight and Clinton physi-
clans say he is recovering rapidly,
and that all traces of tuberculosis
are disappearing from his system.
Mr. Maclay says that the prescrip-
ton was given to him with the stipula-
ton that he neither barter nor sell it,
but give it free to the afflicted, and he
and to give or send it to any sufferer.
His son, who a. few weeks ago was
scarcely able to leave his bed, departed
for Boone, to visit relatives there.

seemed to provoke them to more speci-
fic declarations. 1t would take a hold
minister to repeat to the emperor the
fierce warnings of Kusmin- Karavieff.
which not even Danton could have
made more impressive.
Bureaucracy Aahast.
Bureaucracy is aghast at the defiant
tone Of the douma's controlling
groups. Even White is perplexed He
told his friends on the eve Of the as
sembling that they never can survive
the sight of the Little Father in his
robes of state
He meant. of course, that the peas
ants inherited submissiveness to the
car would make for legislative trac-
liability. There could not have been a.
more serious misunderstanding of the
spirit of the leaders.
Die Has Been Cast.
Whatever the early future of parlia-
ment the die has been cast No re-
preston could stamp out the moral eff
feet of this weeks deliberations at the
Tauride palace. Nicholas is anxious
to compromise, but the douma, rapidly
discovering it's virtual solidarity, is not
to be placated with halfway meas
ures
White looks on glHomily, perhaps ex-
pectantly. The stories about his fail
ing health are cOntradicted by his ap-
pearance and his energy in the council
of the empire, where he has gravitated
to the most influential position.
Goremykin's tactics have accom-
plished nothing save to widen the dis
lance between the crown and parlia-
ment. White may yet be the buttress
of the autocracy.
