Keeper and His Wife Must Be Be- sieged in Lighthouse Tower Armed Crew Sent Out-Ths
 Explanation.

"Watling Island lighthouse flying N. J." reported the watch on board the mail steamer bound to Kingston, Jamaica.
 The senior officer turned his tele- scope towards the perpendicular streak on the horizon.
 Help. am attacked fiuttered plainly the international fag-code, in the letters N. J.
 The senior oficer reported the oc- currence to the captain.
 What did 1t mean? Had the blacks risen against the handful of white men that lived on the island? Was the lighthousekeeper besieged? N. J. clearly gave rise to the gray est fears. Shall the boat put back?" asked the senior oficer.
 The captain refused. His majesty's mails were on board: The vessel must wait for nothing. So full steam ahead she plowed her way to Kings ton

 The news spread.
 The keeper of Waiting light and his wife were besieged in his tower. Help must be sent.
 A hurried message was dispatched to Nassau, the headquarters of the Bahamas lighthouse service. A few hours later government steamer, bearing an armed crew, made furious ly towards the Waiting light:
 The morning following the arrival of the news schooner, outward bound from Portland, Me. arrived at Mas. sau Harbor.
 Had she news of Waiting light" inquired the excited officials. Was N. J. still flying when the schooner passed?"
 "It was." the captain of the schoon- CT informed them. Then he told this story:
 He. too, had seen the signal, and, like the captain of the mail steamer, he had instantly surmised that the na- tives had rebelled.
 Heaving to within mile of the lighthouse. he called away boats crew. armed with whatever weapons they could lay hands on.
 No enemy appeared to oppose their landing on the island. Yet there, not 200 yards from them, nuttered the dread N. J.

MADAME SANS GENE.

One of the reasons why Sardou's Madame Sans Gene" is so attrac- tive to the lovers of the romantic drama is the fact that there is in it plot and counter plot galore and the interest never flags from the open ing of the prologue to the last line Of the tag. The story involves not only the love affair of the Marechal Le Fevbre and his washerwoman wife Catherine Heubscher, but 1t al- so has to do with Fouche.' the great est of all French commissioners of police and his effort to regain the position from which he had been busted by the sycophantic Savary, the pathetic affection of the young Austrian De Neipperg and the Elm press Maria Louisa and the tigerish jealousy of Napoleon for the man whom he believes has usurped his place in the affections of his sec ond wife. The development of these side issues and the weaving of these strings of this widely ranging plot is worked out with the surest techni- cal skill of the most famous of the modern French dramatists. The his torical attractiveness of the first Ma poleon as he stalks through the ac- tion of the piece relentless. watchful and uncannuy cunning. gives the play the touch of uniqueness that makes it always a thing to be en- joyed. Madame Sans Gene" has never been given here and for that reason if. not for the truly capable presentation the Poli players are making. the bill should result in packing the house at every perform ance this week. Scenically the pro- duction ranks above anything yet attempted by the company and it is characterized by an accuracy of cos tuning and intelligence of reading that ought 10 carry conviction of merit with it. Prices are 10. 20 and 90 cents: afternoons 10 and % cents, ladies 10 cents.

CREATORE.

I - Creatore and his band have spent
 the winter in Europe, and during
 March and Aprilthey gave concerts in
 London and few other English cit
 les. The daily papers and the musical 1 journals declared this to be the best
 concert band organization that had
 been heard in London. The British I people are very conventional and
 naturally opposed to or even predju- diced against unconventional meth ods or innovations. It is well known
 that Creatore's methods of conduct ing are very striking and original, and naturally enough this caused
 considerable comment at first, but his we'll known merits and striking effects soon won \he admiration of the London musical public, and his concerts were crowded and applaud ed with as much demonstration as in America. The London Daily Tele-
 graph, which is regarded as the great
 musical journal of England, devoted
 considerable space to analyzing Gre
 atore and the achievements of his
 band, the result being a frank ad-
 mission that they reached the high
 est standard ever known in London.
 The Critic, in turn, highly commend ed the full tone color, the great
 richness of the brass, and mentioned the ensemble as human and not of the machine-made order. Creatores well known perfection of detail at tracted attention at once, and his playing of the English national air, God Save the King" was commend ed with the highest praise. English bands, being compelled by custom to play this anthem at the close of ey- cry concert, do so in quite per- functory way, but Creatore, who re- garded it as a prayer, played it with as much care and feeling as he would Chopin's Funeral March," which proved revelation and caused quite sensation. The English are noted for being great admirers of music which is familiar to them. This is a very striking characteristic, and they go repeatedly to concerts to hear over and over again their well known favorites. The Tschaikowski "1812" overture proved to be Creatore's best drawing card. It had been on many programs recently in London so that the entire concert going public were familiar with 1t. Creatore's interpre- tation and performance of this great overture were considered among the greatest successes of his London sea- son. Creatore's band, as before, is composed entirely of Italian musi- clans. who are of the same artistic temperament as the noted conductor and thoroughly in sympathy with him. The band, however, was some what reorganized in Italy, and many noted and competent soloists added. Creatore claims now to have the best and most capable organization that he has ever conducted, and the ex- cellence of the personnel is noted in almost every article which appeared in England. The organization will be at Polls Thursday evening. Prices are 25, 35. 90, 75 cents and s1. Tel ephone 116. Seat sale open Wednes- day.

Northrop was what many would call an old man five and seventy years of age. but there he was traveling to the ends oi the earth without nurse or compan ion. and as much in love with his tree project as ever in his carly man hood. He gave lectures in Honolulu to the school children on the duty and pleasure of tree planting. told them of the value not alone to children of the future but to themselves; that in his youth the physicians mad con demned him to an early grave. but that he was fond of life and decided to try to cheat the doctors cure was fresh afr and outdoor work. plen- ty of vigorous exercise.

 Looking back over this experience the writer Is able 10 realize some thing of the immediate influence Mir. Morton's early efforts must have had on his neighbors out there Ia Ne braska when he took his quartersec- ton and went to work to make 1t a garden spot of beauty.
