MANSFIELD AS PEER GYNT
a striking Performance Enthusiastically
Received In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Riohard Mansfield
threw open his final dress rehearsal OF
Ibsen's peer Gynt- to the %oritics, who are
almost unanimous in declaring that the
performance ranks among his greatest
personal achievements.
The text has Of necessity been severely
cut, but enough remains to give the actor
occasion for his most striking moods Of
rollicking humor, intellectual satire and
picturesque psthos. He portrays the Morse
hero successfully in the rollioking scenes
Of his youth with Ase, at the marriage
feast and among the mountain trolls; in
his maturity as a successful and casuistical
Carolina slave trader; in his dabblings with
mystic religion and hourie in the African
desert: in the scenes Of his shipwreck on
the Norwegian coast, realistically staged,
and in his final return to the place Of his
birth, a broken old man, confronted by the

accom- pa niment.
To-night's performance was 80 enthusiasts
tically received that Mr.. Mansfield has de-
cided to suspend his repertoire and play
"Peer Gynt" throughout the three weeks
OF his stay here.

said. virtually everybody was indifferent
to the far greater danger in food and milk
laden with death dealing germs.
The public did not seem to mind swallo wing
anything they could not sec. Their milk
and meat az now unssnitarily supplied
swarmed with the bacilli Of typhoid and
other diseases, but az they were invisible
the public did not care. Canned meats
which contained floor ~sweepings and
pieces Of rats and man were harmless. be-
cause they we're cooked M probably
were healthy before they we're cooked.

lowing a camel.

it was eaten was not in the least more sani-
tary than it was in the days Of the neolithic
cave jewellers.

VALErTA, Malta, Oct. 29.--It il yet the
custom here. as in medieval times, TO ring
bells in stormy weather for the purpose OF
warding Of evil spirits n storm disasters.
The bells for this purpose are blessed by
priests, and they are rung even in the dead
Of night. TO the perpetual annoyance Of I'M
believers.
Tempests nave been frequent the past
summer. and the bells have been sbnormally
busy. Hence there has been a lively public
discussion Of the subject. Local scientists
have taken up the cudgels on behalf of the
people who are annoyed by the uproar made
by the bells. and the shocked ecclesiastics
have warmly responded.
The Archbishop has now solemnly and
authoritatively proclaimed that discussion
of the efficacy Of the sacred bells must not
henceforth be conducted except by persons
who are enthusiastically authorized.
