was Knocked and scOrned. Yet at his
death a few months ago, in his 10Th
year. the dramatic critics OF the world
united in saying. that no one since
Shakespeare's time had made so
strong an impression and left so deep
a mark on the stage and its patrons.
To-day in America. Ibsen is recognized
in his true light writes Sherman
Dandy 1T would seem as if the
theatergoer in America has a keener
perception and the ability TO discover
the true greatness of the man and his
works than the people of any other
cline" Ibsen's "A Dolls House"
speaks for itself, the characters are
so finely drawn and their emotions
are so real that everyone acknowledged
the technique and remarkable analyti-
cal powers of the author Ibsen is
not pessimist as many imagine and
as often been asserted. On the con-
trary. he is pointing the way to loftier
and better things and showing that
/ he believes in the regeneration and
reformation of society 1t is because
the works of Ibsen hit straight at the
very existence of the people. because
they strike at the root of society and
because they make the people that go
to the theater think. that IbSen has
| become such a blessing to the Ameri-
can stage.

One More Opportunity.-One of the
most popular and pleasing productions
of the season is "The Flower of the
Ranch which the Joseph E. Howard
Amusement company will present at
the Burtis tomorrow night for re-
turn engagement. with Joseph Z. How
ard and Mabel Barrison as the stars.
Thus is afforded one more opportunity
to see the pretty play. The play
could stand alone without its musical
features, as there is an interesting
story of western life told in it. The
musical numbers are said to be mas
terpieces. Mr. Howard is widely
known as the composer of The Time,
the Place and the Girl which holds
the record for long runs in Chicago,
and other tuneful plays. such as THE
Land of Nod THE Isle of Bong
bong" The Girl Question and The
District Leader" but he has never
written to better advantage than in
The Flower of the Ranch" The
burlesque CT the Merry Widow
Waltz" song and bachelor scene. as
done by Miss Barrison and Mr. How
ard is said to be genuinely unique,
| the costuming of the women in this
number being especially unique. The
company numbers 50 people and an
augmented orchestra will be used.

Gossip of Three-Eye League
Players.

Secretary Rowland of the Dubuque
baseball club when the announcement
was made to him yesterday of the de-
cision of Judge Graves by a reporter
of the Telegraph Herald said the out
come was Just what he had expected
The fact that the management had
continued TO sign players was cited as
showing the confidence that had been
felt in the result Of the litigation.
Mr. Rowland added:
THE matter has caused us much
trouble. however, in this way. PLAYERS
were uncertain, whether or not Du-
buque was to be left in the league. and
naturally there was a great deal OF
hesitancy manifested on the part OF
some of them as to whether they
should tie up under such conditions
or not They feared that the matter
might not be adjusted until most OF
the teams Of the country had been
pretty well filled UP. and it would be
hard for them to get another chance
in case they lost out on the Dubuque
deal"
Now, however. said the secretary
everything is smooth sailing, and they
expect to land several valuable play
ers whom they have been after fol
some time. but who were somewhat
reluctant about signing for the reason

"A Novel Idea.

The Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor Of the Congre-
gational Church have hit upon q
new and novel method of raising
money. They have recently started
a fund to be used in the purchase
of piano for their meeting room
and wish in this way to add to it.
The plan is this; there is a market
in Chicago for old paper, maya
zines, periodicals and out Of date
books, anything in the old papei
line. The difficulty is to secure a
large enough quantity to payto ship
it. In towns even smaller than
Manchester it has been found pos
sible to collect as much as car
load and this is the aim of the
young people here. They have es-
tablished a storage depot in the,
parsonage barn and a committee Of
boys from the society will do the
collecting from the house. They
can only hope to be successful by
enlisting the cooperation Of every
one who may have anything in the
way of old newspapers, magazines
or old books which they are willing
to give away where they can be Of
use. They would appreciate the
favor if you would do a little house,
cleaning now and let them have
your old papers to add to their
stock. II you can help in this even
a little speak to some one Of the
young people or telephone No. 317
which is the home of Miss Mary
Bailey; President of their society
and collector will call at your
door for the papers.
