EIGHT BELLS" "

The famous Bros. Byrne will be seen at Jackson's Theatre, next Thursday matinee and evening presenting their successful pantomimic comedy entitled Flight Bells written and invented by John F. Byrne. The Byrne Broth CTS stand re-eminent in the art of stage mechanism, and invention, and this season they are said to have ex- cellled themselves. The new Eight Bells'' is replete with new tricks, il- lusionss and the most wonderf1l and laugha ble effects ever originated. There is an infinite charm about a Byrne production to the little ones. as well as the older people, and to those who are blase about seeing a stage perfor- nance more than once. Flight Bells might offer them an object lesson, the amusing rapidity of the many stage tricks, the wonderful acrobatfc work. the beWildering mechanical effects and the many excellent specialties that are interpolated throughout the performance, keep the audience on the go as well as the performers. Flight Bells has always been a welcome wis., itor' to our city, but this season we are promised a performance vastly
 superior to past, productions. A large number of people are seen in the com sedy, the entire Byrne family, four in number, all peer in original crea- tions which is in itself a safe guar antee of good performance. Seats are now selling. Ifsz--,

"THE SMART SET"

5 4 - For variety and dissimilitude of sit ,nations, novelties, surprises, electri- cal effects and scenic adornment, the latest three act musical comedy, His
 Honor the Barber which will se pre- scented by the popular Smart Set Com pany at Jackson's theatre next We'd nesday evening. is said to eclipse any similar entertainment offered to the public. in years. In point of fun and spontaneous shumor no production can compare with it, if commenda- tory press notices and large and en- thusiastic audiences are any criterion. At the head of. the company is S. H. Dudley who is fast earning the repu- tation of being one of America s fore most colored comedians. If MT. Dud- ley as Raspberry Snow, shiftless and matter-o fact coon, whose lofty as pirations lead him into all sorts of trouble, fails to make one laugh in spite of oneself it is because that one is of a saturnine and melancholy dis position.

JACKSON'S
MIME. sEMBRICH CONCERT

MIME. SEMBRICH CONCERT The many triumphs of Mime. Sem brich, who will appear in concert at Jackson's tomorrow evening under the direction of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical club, have been due to three equally important causes. First, to her possession of a singularly beauti- ful voice. Next. to hfr art. And last to her character. One without the other two might have lent her such ephedneral celebrity as has come to some of her pretended rivals Two might have won fame for her But. Ewithout the third, all the country would not rise to add tribute to tri- bute ona the occasion of her operatic retirement.
 Mime. Sembrich's youthful experi- ences, so different from those of most girls. left their impress on her mind. She had more than her share of sor- row and yet, while it may have made her melancholy, it has not left her bit ter.
 If asked wherein lies the reason for the beautiful perfection of Mime. Sem brichs art, the answer would be "thoroughness.' Nothing that the great soprano hasvever attempted was scamped in the slightest degree. What she has done, she has done with her whole heart and soul. She has low ed art as most women love only their children = passionately, absorbingiy and, perhaps, Jcalously TO singer of her nature, the parting from opera means .t sorrow which few can ap- preciate. N #
 Incidentally, let it be recorded of Mime. Sembrich that, though not
 e.. :. too bright or good
 For human natures daily food
 she is, in both the broad and special senses of the words, a good woman. It is hard to see how the void which the pri1na donna is leaving can be filled. Concert-goers. however, are profiting by her retirement by seiz- ing the opportunity which her trans continental tour is offering. Mme Sernbrich's assisting artists are Fran cis Rogers. baritone, and Frank La Forge, pianist.

 How to teach a man the responsi- bilfty of love is the motif tin Avery Hopwood's new play This Woman and This Man in which that clever artist, Miss.

 The Philadelphia Record in review ing this play speaks of it in the fol- lowing terms:
 < .tIt is the familiar topic. but the au- thor. of the play is entitled to great praise for the new and unhackneyed manner in which he has treated the question of the ages.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT MA(GURATED PRESIDENT 0F
The UNITED STATES WITH IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES

There were no ceremonies on the
platform on the outside where in
former years the inaugural cere-
monies have taken place, but in or
der that the crowd outside which had
been patiently waiting for the event,
even in the binding storm, might not
be disappointed, the retiring president

platform. accompanied by large
number Of those who had participated
lii the ceremonies in the senate cham.
Der.
AS the president and the president
elect approached the stand outside
them every eye in the great assem-
blage was fixed upon them. Every man
stood with barred head, tho military
organizations grouped about the stand
were at attention. and only the click,
click, of the cameras broke silence
which was impressive in the extreme
This serenity lasted several seconds,
when the smiles Of Roosevelt and
Taft as they bowed to the people
loosened all restraint. There appear
ed to be instilled into the crowd a
frank and keen admiration and con-
fidence as they looked into the smll-
ing faces of the president and his sue
cessor. Kindled by the hearty, ex-
pansive and jovial smiles of the two
men. the crowd was soon put at its
ease and was moved TO utter calls OF
familiar endearment. They cheeret
for Roosevelt and Taft and for TAFT
and Roosevelt, and they cheered fnr

and "Bill."
1t was this picture that met the eye

New York, March 4-The city Of
Washington was isolated from COM
muntcation with the rest of the coun-
try after about o'clock today by the
heavy snow storm which brought
down a great many telephone and
telegraph wires and rendered others
unavoidable. At $3.50 O'Clock this
morning the telephone and telegraph
companies reported that they were
unable to communicate with Wash
ington from any direction, although
from midnight last night until about
4 o'clock this morning it was pos
stble to reach Washington by way Of
the south. At o'clock this morning,
when the last news report came out
of Washington, it was still showing

SAFE PRESIDENT
View Taken Of New Executive by the
Journals of France

Paris. March 4-The papers of Paris
today give much space to the inau-
guration Of William H. Taft and the
retirement of Theodore Roosevelt.
The concensus of opinion is that
Roosevelt has had remarkably sue
cessful and picturesque career, that
he has aroused the moral forces of
the United States and has filled an i'm
portant role on the worlds stage. Al
though he is a great preacher, he has
been distinctly a man af action, IAN
athlete in politics as we'll as in sport,
war and theology" Taft, although
less impulsive than his predecessor,
is regarded as man of great capacity
and moral strength, consequently he
is characterized as "a safe president
both for America and Europe"
Neither the United States nor Eu-
rope" one paper says. need now fear
the theatrical coupes which upset
them in the Roosevelt regime"

The broad plaza. flanked on either
side by the handsome new Office build
ings of the senate and house of rep
resentatives, seen now for the first
time at an Inauguration, with the gold
crowned library of congress in the
foreground and the great dome Of the
capitol furnishing majestic and nit
ting background, was densely packed
with people, who, from early morning,
had been coming from every direction
until even the streets and avenues
radiating from the capitol became
choked for several blocks with the
swaying and swirling crowds. Every
conceivable point of vantage was oc-
cupied. Roofs and windows Of the
surrounding buildings, though far
away across tho broad lawns, fairly
swarmed with spectators Of both sex
es and all ages, while the porticoes of
the capitol and every crevice or pro-
lection of the great structure through
which head could be put or upon
which foot could be placed, was oc-
cupied. Most of the trees in the capt.
tol park were filled with deciples Of
Zacchaeus, who refused to "come
down" until the show was over. One
familiar picture was lacking In the
great panorama. The famous heroic
Greenough statue of Washington,
which for more than a quarter of q
century stood in the center OF the
plaza and which had been silent
witness to many similar events, had
been taken away during the year and
transferred to the national museum.
