ROBERT MANTELL.

One of the New York city newspa- pers on Monday last printed some figures of the money taken in at vari- ous theaters by various attractions there since the beginning of the sea son, with view of showing that the present trend of the popular taste is toward serious plays. The man who prepared the article did not succeed in proving his case, but he did prove that MT Mantell's performances at the Academy of Music in the Shakes peare plays had been the greatest success of the season from the stand- point of sheer figures. Thus. five performances of King Richard III' were played to more than $12,000; three of 'Othello," with MT Mantell as the Moor. to $7,20O; three of "Othello," with MT Mantell as the Moore, to $6,SO0; a single night per formance of ''Richelieu," drew $3,- 100; four performances of "King Lear" were given to little less than 5000; and three night perform ances of Macbeth also drew just little less than 5000. The great surprise was Hamlet" which was acted twice to almost $6.000. 'The Merchant of Venice" in which Mir Mantell has a new role in that of Shylock, was acted three times to $7,9OO; and it is estimated that the week of nine performances in Julius Caesar" ending on Decem- Der 1, will mean $26:000. MT Man tell will appear at Polls Monday night in Richard III" and Tuesday night in "Othello." Prices are 25, 50, 70, $1 and $1.50. Telephone 1884. No free list. Curtain rises at o'clock sharp.

CONTEST LOOKED FOR
The Me,t Inspection Bill k Surs te Come Up Dathext Session of Congress

Washington. D. C.. Nov 3O.-A spirited contest is expected at the opening of the approaching session ] or congress over meat inspection. Under the terms of the law enacted at the last session. the government l. IS required to pay the cost of the in- spection, that concession being made by the advocates of the measure in order to insure Its specialization into law. As 1t stands, the law never has been quite satisfactory to those who advocated meat inspection and an effort is to be made by them to amend it at the coming session.
 Among the members of the house particularly, there evidently has been change of sentiment since last spring. Those who have come to Washington indicate that the meat inspection law is one of the most I,popuar measures that congress has enacted in many years. They say, however, that the people believe that the cost of the inspection ought to be paid by the packers and that they ought to be protected to the extent of letting them know, by the labels, how long the meat products have been canned. Some of the members who voted at the last session for the law as it stands now probably will vote this winter for the proposed amendments.
 It Is quite cretain, however, that the packers will put up a hard fight against the amendments and, as the approaching session is limited in length by law they may be able to prevent any action at this time inimical to their interests. The ses- sion will last only three months and it's time will be consumed largely in the consideration of routine business.
 The contest will be raised in the senate and if that body be of the same mind it was at the last session the amendments may be passed before the holiday recess. They then will go to the house, where the real con- test will take place. If stiff opposi- tion to the amendments should be de- veloped, 1t is not unlikely that the question may drag along through practically the entire session. It is known that President Roosevelt is in favor of the amendments and that he will do what he can to insure their passage.
 If the present law should not be amended at the coming session, it is certain that the effort to amend 1t will not be resumed in the next con- gress. The people of the country. according to the statements of sena- tors and representatives who have arrived in Washington, are of one mind regarding the question and will not be satisfied until the law shall have been amended. They believe that the meat inspection law, the pure food law and the railroad rate law are measures in their interest. and they are anxious to see them strengthened wherever the addition of strength is possible.
