ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bllou.

"The Confessions of Wife" which the Baldwin Melville company put on at the Bijou theatre last night, beginning a weeks presentation, with the usual matinees, is an interesting play. It is rather above the average of its class in several particulars. The comedy is good and there are three characters drawn in lighter vein that are creditably done and furnish abundant amusement. The other characters are cast in the usual melodrama mould, but the lines are clever at times, the climaxes effective and the scenes are stirring.
 The plot of the play concerns the ad- ventures and tribulations which befall Alice Rutherford as the result of an un- fortunate marriage Prior to the open- ing of the play Alice has gone to New York and there married worthless fellow named Calder. whom she afterwards discovers to have been already married to another woman. Disgraced and heart broken, after the birth of her child, which was taken away from her, Alice returns to her home In Vermont Six years elapse and she is wooed by Oliver Ashmore, a man of admirable character. Calder appears on the scene and threat ems to expose Alice. She has struggle with him and Calder is pushed through a railing over precipice Thinking him dead, Alice marries Ashmore. Calder is not dead, however, and he again turns up, this time with the child of Alice. and in a dramatic exposure of her past mother love prompts Alice to flee from her home and husband taking the child She Is followed by her husband and father, also by Calder and his female accomplice. The allies of Alice have a desperate struggle to free her from the wiles of the man and woman who are trying to hound her to death. but they eventually succeed. The plotters arc foiled and Alice Is restored to happi- ness.
 The play is one that holds the close attention of an audience. The house was rather more demonstrative than usual last night. The players were forced to

answer several curtain calls. The com pany as a whole acted we'll and gave a very good performance. Miss Wheatley took the part of the suffering wife in a creditable way Mir. O'Connor was Ash more, John Summer was Rosie Ashmore, W. H. Murdoch was the villain, Calder; Miss Gleason was the lady villain Eliza beth Ross was convincing as hateful old hypocrite, Hannah Rutherford. L. O. Hart had an amusing comedy role as a rural editor of which he made the most, while John A. Lorenz as Sam Sprouts was a capital village bumrkin Miss Sinnot scored a hit at Betty Bloom from nowhere in particular. Frederick Julian gave a good performance as the old blacksmith. father of Alice
 As usual with the Baldwin Melville plays, "The Confessions of a Wife" is well staged.
