comment upon the work of Miss Marie

The report of the performance OF
the 'Mikado' would be incomplete
without most laudatory comment on
the artistic work of Miss Marie Evans
as Katisha The part requires great
dramatic skill, ranging from the tragic
recitative to the Eroadest COMEDY
Miss Marie Evans filed the bill. Her
acting was complete in detail and az
tistic finish from her first entrance
amid the scenes of revelry, when she
denounces Yum Yum and Nankl Poo,
to her later by-play with the --1kddo
and his suite and the inimitable love
scene with Ko-Ko. The wooing of
katisha and her melting from rage
to pity, and then to love, was admir-
ably done, the audience roaring with
delight at this duo of artists. MIR.

London. July Cot is a poor week
when Father Bernard Vaughan, the
pr1estiy scourge of moIarn English
society, does not break into print.
One Of his latest sensational utter
ances was at the meeting of the Ma
tional Vigilance society in London,
and dealt with the white slave traffic.
1T is humiliating for an English
man and a Christian to have to &C
knowledge the necessity for a society
engaged, as this one is, in the sup
preston OF the white slave traffic"
declared Father Vaughan. These
poor, unfortunate girls who are sent
to satisfy the baser appetites of our
brother men are very much to be
pitied- | never blame the women;
put all the blame where it belongs, on
the men. II he is a man, let him play
the man and protect women from
himself. l give this message to all
girls everywhere: Don't believe a
word the men say to YOU Every
man is liar when he wants to crafty
his appetites. He will stop at moth
ing. Put the girls on their guard
against the temptations that will be
held out to them-and pay them liv.
ing wages"
Father Vaughan created a sensation
among his auditors by declaring that
the bar maids were more to be envied
in their lot than the shop girls.
We have heard great deal late
ly," he said,~ of the fnicuity of en-
ploying girls behind drinking bars. |
had rather be girl behind a bar than
behind shop counter. After all, the
girls behind the bar know they will
get living wage. Behind the coun-

ing statuary. which have since been
banished from the London music
halls, also came-inefor a share of con-

preachers in all England and is doing
much to spread Catholicism among
the working classes.

toTial reformer is not without prece-
dent When Mrs Cleveland was
eternal tabob on the hustle and put
the ban of official displeasure on that
hideous instrument of deformity. AT
that time the hustle had grown 10
enormous size and caused the AmeT1-
can woman TO assume a resem blance
to the hump-backed ship of the des-
eTt. Mrs. Cleveland's example was
speedily followed by the nations fem
ininity and the hustle became back

The opposition of Mrs. Roosevelt
to the corset is based on hygienic
facts, not unrelated to the subject OF
race suicide. She believes that The

of stays has become a positive men,
