heartiest admiration.
The costumes are elegant and ap-
propriate and the the movement and
group in Of the persons taking part
in the action proper have been so
carefully considered. that naturalness
and dramatic effectiveness have never
been sacrificed, Yet a pictorial quail
ity which to belong TO the old paint
ing OF the English school has been
obtained As for the scenes in which
the folks have part, these are among
the best offered here in long time.
The exclamations, the evincing OF
keen interest in what Is taking place,
all has been planned and carried out
greater skill and quality than anything
similar that has been seen in any
production. The view of Earl Manor
lighted and rejoicing is also Of great
beauty. "Dora Thorne" has always
been a iavorite of all plays and one
that is sure 10 please.

There is always room for the entcrpris-

De|ai Lama Of Tibet Returns
To His Capital City,
Goes Home After -Four Years
OF Wandering in China.
Prestige Is Gone and Ne Is Now
vassaI Of Chinese Throne.

Pekin, Dec. 2l.-The Dalai Lama of
Tibet left Pekin today for Lhassa, his
| capital and his departure marks the be-
ginning Of the end Of his four years of
wandering over northern China. The
Lama started ont from Lhassa shortly
after the arrival there of a British col
umn under the command of Col. Sii Fran
els Younghusband. He felt that his holy
city had been desecrated by the presence
Of the Englishmen, and at the head Of a
large retnue he started on wanderings
that carried him over many thousand
miles of Manchuria and China, always
greatly to the annoyance Of the Chinese
authorities, for he was an unWelcOne and
expensive visitor. He came to Pekin last
September at the urgent request of the
Chinese government, who wanted him to
return to his capital in order TO make
possible the carrying out of certain re-
forms.
The ruler of Tibet returns to Lnassa
shorn of his temporal authority. In the
future lie will be regarded as a mere
ccclesiastic, pledged TO support whatever
reforms China desires to carry out in his
country. He will not be permitted 70
communicate with the throne except
through the Chinese commissioner, the
| Amban, stationed at Lhassa.
There was a notable absence of cere-
mony in connection with his going. There
were but two small honorary paviions at
the railroad station. as compared to the
manv evidences of the desire Of the gov
| ernment to honor him when he came to
| Pekin.
| The position Of the Dalai Lama has
| been very much weakened by his coming
| to Pekin, where he had been received as
| a barbarian and humiliated accordingly.
His religious practices have been a rev.
elation of the debased nature of the ia
nous yellow Sect and the practices Of
| the Lama and his followers have invited
| the contempt of both Chinese and for
| eigners.
