Dunn, the secretary Of prominen.
New York insurance company. Some
months before 1t had been dug up in
certain ruins and come into the pos
session of Mr.. Jefferson Thompkins, an
art collector, who, not having any
place to keep his valuable find until
lis country house was completed,
placedit in the hands of the insurance
company. To insure the safety Of the
statue from breakage-not from a
thief for it takes twenty men to move
it-Mr Dunn has it taken to his home.
where 1t remains behind a screen, and
is exhibited only to honored guests.
One evening when the family are
at the theatre and Mr.. Dunn nod
ding over his afternoon paper, he is
startled by sound much like wo-
mans Weeping, but he decides he must
have been dreaming. When 1t is re-
peated again and again, and the cur

regard differ from" to indicate that
two persons disagree and differ
with to mean that they agree with

Human language is necessarily a very
imperfect thing. We are inconsiderate
enough to expect 1t to be adequate to
all use when we ought to bear in mind
that it is the contrivance OF people
who are themselves full of imperfec-.
lions. and that the creature cannot be
higher than the creator. Itmight be
possible to come to some agreement.
In many Of the disputed matters Of
language, but 1t is very hard to get
such things fixed and then they do not
stay fixed.

on another fit of weeping, Dunn has
to pinch himself to see if he Is awake.
ic finds that he is, and that this COM
ing to real life from stone Is fact,
caused through the crossing of some
electric wires left on the feet of the
statue, by the men who Were installing
electric lights into his house.
The complications which ensue are
most ludicrora. for Mr.. Dunn has a
wife, and his wife's family live with
him, and one member Helen, his Sis
ter-in-law, is sure to cause him a great
deal of annoyance when she beholds
Niobe alive. for she will never believe
the story of the statue coming to life.
Through three acts the fun contin-
sues, and at some points it seems iin-
possible to entangle the complications.
but it all comes around all right, and
leaves the Dunn family happy, and
Niobe with her rightful owner.
Miss Haswell will have an excellent
opportunity in the title part and the
other members will be seen to good
advantage in their respective roles.
The farewell performance will fall on
