In return for delightful visit that he
enjoyed at the Bulgarian capital through
the courtesy of the youngsters family.
The little crown prince took quite an
interest in the American visitor and was
especially curious about steam engines and
cars, which he had never seen. Finally
crawling up on his fathers knee. he said
plaintively; ia rather have a really To-

Special preparation for the production
OF Clay Clements sam Houston" shows
the thorough attention given TO innumera-
Bile details OF a modern, first-class dra-
matte enterprise. For example, the furni-
ture for the scene In the governors man
sion at Nashville, Tenn, was made to order
with absolute accuracy to the period OF the
play in that scene, The furniture OF the
fourth act in the capitol at Austin, Tex.
and OF the second and third acts Is built
with equally great care. The draperies,
carpets and decorations are all made accu-
rately and especially for tho production.
The special weapons OF this production are
guns of the period OF old. long flint-loeks
and squirrel rifles. These relics have been
gathered after much correspondence and
persistent search by numerous friends Of
Mr.. Clements in various parts of Tennes-
see. Kentucky, Texas and other southern
states. The numerous people in the play
representing fortune hunters, patriots and
soldiers OF the stirring times in the south
west before the war of the revolution, use
belts, knives drinking gourds, beehive
shaped stone jugs, harness, lariats, sad
die and Texas horses and other articles of
equipment accumulated with great care
Even the stick that Houston carries Is
made OF bols dare wood taken from the
tree that grew few miles from the spot
where Texas independence was declared
Two old rifles viii be used that were car
ried by warriors in the battle OF San
Jacinto. One OF them was presented by a
descendant of David Crockett who Is now
living in Paris, Tex. The sidesaddle which
Roaring Kate rides In upon her first en-
trance in the second act was used by the
mother of n friend Of Mr. Clement on her
first journey to Texas riding horseback
from the state Of Kentucky. The saddle
bags that Sam Houston uses in the play
were carried by an itinerate clergyman in
the early days of independence in Texas.

S are getting out of their indiffer-
ent rut, and patronage of the best class
of artists needs only TO be asked for.
Europe will send 70 this country many
of its brightest stars. chief among the
heroes being Camille Saint Saens, Caesar
Thompson. the great Belgian violinist, and
DR.. Muck, who will lead the Boston SYM

the new Schneider s Mueller hall, under
the local management Of Mrs. G.. w. Tur-

will not wait TO be requested to buy tickets,
but will take the time TO scribble a postal.

from France of the trial trip of the COM

The steamer made twenty-three knots for

This is equivalent to twenty-six miles an

The new steamer will sail from New

Reports from France are that the ship
