sor, so with the promise of liberty and
other considerations, the professor is
induced to phrenologically examine the
bumps of all the Florodoreans and to
make it appear that Dolores is espec-
tally designed to become the wife of
Gilfain. This brings Iabercoed to the
fore with a protest and also causes
Gilfain to Danish him from the isle for
his termerity in making love to the
same girl he himself is after. With
Abercoed gone, Gilfain aggressively
lays siege to the heart and hand Of
Dolores and pursues her with vigor
that arouses her to anger. It is then
that the professor comes into play and
reveals to Dolores the knavery of Gill

facts of her birth. 1t is Dolores who
is the rightfuI owner of F1orodora
which she should have inherited from
her father, but through the knavery
and convivance of Gilfain she has been
debarred from enjoying what is her
own. 1t all comes out and then there
is noise and big sticks. All parties
concerned center at the castle OF
Abercoed in Wales, where Gilfain is
confronted with proof of his villainy.

The firm favor held throughout the
entire country by Charles Klein's
great American drama, The Lion and
the Mouse, has placed it upon an equal
plan of popularity with Uncle Toms
Cabin and The Old Homestead for
the good principles made bare in the
true-to-life teachings. The Lion and
the Mouse deals with a topic that has
the serious consideration Of men in
the business world of the present and
appeals to every noble minded women
through the constancy of Mrs. Ryder
toward her stormy, money mad hus-
band, who is shown the error of his
ways by sincere young authoress.
The effect of his softening is obvious
as 1t illustrates to Ryder the joys Of
love from home, rather than money
and power, and shows the public how
much suffering could have been heaped
upon the Ryder household had not Mrs.
Ryder been the good sort she was in
remaining true to her vows through
the many brain storms of her spouse.
Her reward was we'll worth the few
reproaches of the man who had
thought of nothing but money. and it's

1t Is but a fair compliment to the pub
lie to assume that this great drama
Will outlive the profitable existence of

Miss Dudley's new play is an adap-
tation of one of the novels of Oscar
Wilde. In the piece she will play the
part of handsome but cynical, young
London clubman who is much sought
after owing to his epigrammatic wit.
The part gives an unusual emotional
chance-running the entire gamut.
The play begins with laugh, intro
duces q strong love story and ends
with q suicide.
Miss Dudley's favorite role is the
title part in 'The Second Mrs. Tan
queray," and, remarkable to state, she
has no ambition whatever to play the
role of Lady Macbeth.

SUBSIDY BILL
WITHOUT DIVISION
SHIPPING LAW PASSES IN THE
SENATE AFTER EFFORT TO ADD
PROHIBITION RIDER.

WASHINGTON, March 20-The ship
subsidy bill was passed by the Senate
today. 1t pays to 10 knot vessels ply
ing between this country and South
America, the Philippines, Japan, Chi
ma and Australasia 81 per mile, the
amount awarded by the act of 1891 to
vessels of 20 knots only.
The bill was amended in the Senate
so that IL knot vessels will receive 50
per mile, which is the allowance under
the existing law ITO 16 knot vessels.
Amendments were also adopted pro-
viding that if two or more lines of
steamships ply from Atlantic ports to
South America under the provisions of
the bill, onel inc shall stop at two
ports south of Cape Charles, and sti-
pulating that no more shall be paid for
subsidies than is received for such SER
vice by the government.
During the consideration of the
measure Hale made a spirited plea for
an auxiliary navy, declaring that with
out auXiliaries our navy is dependent
upon foreign countries and that in case
of war We would be helpless.
When the bill was laid before the
Senate today, Bacon proposed an
amendment providing that one of the
subsidized mail liners on the Atlantic
coast should touch at two ports south
of Cape Charles in order to promote
the trade in cotton goods, lumber and
naval stores, now supplied by tramp
ships, which do not bring a return
cargo.
An amendment was proposed by
Newlands for the creation of a COM
mittee consisting of the secretary OF
the navy, the postmaster general and
