cap as his train pulled into Ellis Tues
day night. He commenced as brakeman
for this company on the 10th day CT
March, 1858. He is now Go years old,
and appears as spry as a kitten He
is now and has been for many years a
day passenger conductor on the Union
Pacific between Kansas City and Ellis.
Mr.. Lightcap has never been in a SER
ious railroad accident in his forty years
rai1roading on this road. When asked
if he hadn't rather be on the Union
Pacific's retired list and draw the pen
sion that company gives to old en-
ployes, Mr.. Lghtcap replied that his
health is good. and that he preferred to
remain in the active service of the
Union Pacific than be on the retired
pension list. He is one of the most
faithful conductors to his employers on
the system, as well as courteous to the
travelling public. He is a railroad man
who few can say, if any, that they ever
heard him make a kick. When his

At the Play Last Night.

There can be no doubt about it. Miss
MAY Robson is inimitable as
Coincidence She demonstrated this
fact to the satisfaction of not half the
audience that there should have been
at the Grand last night when she pre-
sented 1.-The Regeneration OF Aunt
Mary" with the assistance OF a pretty
good lot of actors and actresses. But
the audience that was on hand went IN
raptures over Miss Robson, and well
it might. There's not much to the
play in the way of a plot but it is hlled
with amusing situations from begin
ming to end and abounds with witty
lines. And Miss Robson. you may be
sure, never neglects to take advantage
Of the many opportunities that are
presented to her to shine she Is on
time Of the play. Although in years
past Miss Robson has interpreted
many parts with success, her acting IN
the delightful role of Aunt Mary Is
undoubtedly the best character work
that she has done.
Miss Robson is surrounded with
number of capable actors, the pest OF
them being Miss Nina Saville who
took the part of aunt Mary's maid,
and David Proctor as John Watkins,
jr. In addition to being an actor OF
considerable capabilities. MT Proctor
IS also a pianist of ability and as IN
cidentals to the second act he, played
some piano solos that were really nne.

third season Brown Of Harvard" has
seldom invaded the one night stands
but has consumed all it's time satisfy
ing the demands Of the playgoers of
the metropolitan towns. Like all great
successes 1t has had it's imitators, and
college plays of all classes and descrip-
lions, supposedly based on life at Yale.
Columbia, etc, have sprung up with
mushroom like rapidity. But Brown
Of Harvard is the original and most
faithful reflection of university life in
America, which is evidenced by the
undisputable fact that it ran for $50
nights in New York and 25O nights in
Chicago, and is endorsed by every
large university in the land. The sup
porting cast is the same which played
with Mr.. Woodruff in New York and
Chicago and production is the pic
turesque original. The boat race be-
tween the Harvard eight and the Eng
fish crew is still one of the standard
features of the offering and has been
proclaimed by the metropolitan press
as the greatest effect of its class ever
produced.

ADJUSTMENTS
Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

To many Mrs. Patrick Campbell is
the greatest actress on the English
speaking stage, in either England or
America. 1t is therefore small won
der that so much has been said and
written Of her. Her appearance in
this city at the Grand tonight in 1.-The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray" is the drama
tic and society event of the current
men of letters Of the French capital
said of here: 'Morest than anything
else Mrs. Patrick Campbell re-
SembleS a magnolia flower" That is
not romancing or exaggeration either.
1t Is a mere attempt at description,
and a pretty fair one. Her skin has
the creamy, rich texture Of it; her
heavy iidded eyes and her lazy grace
full motions have the 1anguor of 1t,
And there are other things to which
one can Hken Mrs. Campbell. She is
the soul of a panther clothed in a
human body as suitable as one could
wish, a soul with all the power to
spring, power the greater that 1t is
nearly always held in check. And to
be moro matter of fact-she is a
Burne~Jones goddess whose lithesome
figure is swathed in lace and. silk
and she is something that never hap
pened before-a Burne-Jones goddess
with mighty heart The heart is
after all the most important thing. To
some the fact that Mrs. Campbell pos
sesses the attributes and rare charm
of the exotic flower, that she has the
exquisite profile, that her hair looks
raven black with purple lights in it
this may be to some people-misguid-
ed as others may think them-a lucky
accident and something extraneous.
1t does not seem that she could be
different, but for the sake Of argu-
ment, Tets pretend" that this won
derfu1 woman did not have her won
derful appearances; she has still her
wonderful heart, which expresses it
self in so marvellous a way that all
one can do is to watch her SPELL
bound, to laugh with her and to suf-
fer with her. 4
