COMPANY G,s BALL.

Company G, which will give its charity ball in the new Music hall in the Buckingham building on next Monday evening. New Years eve. will not be obliged to SO into the exten- sive decorative scheme which has been a feature of its other affairs. AS is well known, Music hall in its native baroness possesses beauty far in ad- vance of most public halls. and in order to make scenic combination of the artistic and handsome 1t is not necessary to call on externals for aid. The bright colored bunting and other equipment without which other halls would not come up to the standard called for by the company's past ex- ploits will. therefore, be conspicuous by their absence, but in their stead will be found scheme of decoration which will be severe in it's simplicity when compared to the former em- bellishments. The general effect is expected to prove deHghtfully pleas ing. however. The only decorations will be in the line of floral adOrn- ment, which will be prepared under the direction of Sake & FlOto, who have donated the material and labor gratis. Other local firms have shown like inclination to help the affair along, realizing that the entire pro ceeds are to be turned over to the new hospital.

"A MARKED WOMAN.

In launching "A Marked Woman" 70 the theater-going public, A. H. Woods feels that he has Overstepped the bounds of the most extravagant melodramatic producer in the history of the popular price houses, as no manager has ever attempted the splendor and realism that Mir Woods has in this, his latest production. which will be seen at Poli's Friday and Saturday, December 28 and 20, afternoons and evenings. When the play was conceived the firm of Ching Foo. Chinese importers, were given the script and commissioned to im- port from their native land every thing necessary for the complete cos tumic and scenic effects. Everything that Is possible in China was brought from that country, while the scenery Is the most complete mechanical pro- auction ever sent upon the road. There is one act representing the walls of Pekin, in which there are S,OOO separate pieces of scenery rep resentfng pieces of stone. At the charge of the Boxers upon the wall, those numerous sham rocks are torn asunder and scattered in heaps all over the stage, causing an effect not surpassed even in Peerbohm Trees famous destruction of the monastery In The Seats of the Mighty" Prices matinee Is and 20 cents. evenings 256.5 35 and 50 cents.

THIS HONOR THE MAYOR. !"

Julian Edwards, one of the com. posers of the musical play, His Honor, the Mayor" which will be seen at Polls Thursday evening, De- cember 27, is regarded by many as Americas foremost musician. He has to. his credit numerable choral and instrumental compositions which have stamped his genius, but he is perhaps better known by reason of such light operas as Princess Chic, , When Johnny Comes Marching Home" Brian Boru," Dolly Var den" and Loves Lottery" Miss Nella Webb. who plays the role of Daisy. milliner girl, comes of a distinguished American family. She Is the great granddaughter of Colonel Josiah Ogden, the famous army en- gineer. and is also grand-niece of General Lew Wallace, the author of

TRIBES HOLD FIRE SACRED.
Survival of the Belief That N 10 ,
 Living Creature.

A curious modern attempt to "a. tionalize one of the oldest of super. stitions Is to be found in Kipling's g 'Life's Handicap" There Mulvaney checks the author from stirring the fire with Ortheris' bayonet, on the ground that fire takes the heart out of the steel. The real reason Is much more mysterious. It was one of the maxims of Pythagoras not to stir the fire with a sword" and to this day the wandering tribes of North America and of northeast Asia hold 1t a sin to take up a burning ember for a pipe light with the point of knife. The explanation is undoubtedly given by Johannes de Plano Carpini, when he tells us that one of the Tartar super stitions concerns sticking . knife into the fire. or in any way touching the fire with the knife. or even taking meat out of the kettle with knife. or cutting near the fire with an axe: for they believe that 30 the head of the lire would be cut off."
 This is evidently connected with the ancient idea that fire ls living creature. sacred animal. which must not be wounded by its human owners. in case it should be annoyed and deprive them of its valuable ser vices. Is this in any degree more ir- rational than the belief still existent among housekeepers that a feeble fire can be made to burn by laying the poker across it. or that the sunbeams failing on Are tend to pu. it out.

NANCE o'NEIL.

Either the strain of two perform ances in one day had tired her or else Nance o'Neil is losing her once powerful and pleasing voice. for in her production of The Sorceress' last evening she was not equal at all times to the requirements. Mckee Rankin, her leading man. has also deteriorated and many times num- bled through his lines in the eharac- ter of Cardinal Xiemenes, the grand inquisitor. Two good houses were attracted by the card. The after noon performance was not such that would enthuse a whole lot. while the one of last evening was marred by stumbling through the parts. IL was a peculiar play to bring here on Christmas day at that. particularly when It Is usual for people Of the Catholic faith to attend holiday pe- formances. If there were any ne- groes present last evening they must think that their kick on ''The Clans man" was insignificant In comparison to the kick that should come from those who love the Catholic church. The productions were both well staged and splendidly costumed.
