'fHE LILY And THE PRINCE. :
A Play RepIeta win Romance and History ii
opera House To.Esghi.

SE
To the soft melody of curtain music
and the ripping Of fountain water
the curtain rises on Mildred Hollands
greatest success. The Lily and The
Prince at the Opera House tonight,
Saturday, %.
No epoch in Italian history was
more replete with grandeur, romance
and tragedy than during The reign Of
the House Of Borgia in the sixteenth
century. It is with this period that
the life and action of The Lily and
The Prince deals. The powerful
Borgias influenced the politics Of the
greater part Of the world. so much SO
that England, France and Spain cast
ayaricious eyes upon the Papal States,
with the result that a conspiracy
arose for their overthrow. The
Houses Of Ferrara. Orsini and Colon
ma all figure IN the story, as does the
beautiful Lucrezia Borgia, but not as
. dispenser Of poisons. Garina Jor-
dan, the author, merely depicts this
character, as the beautiful, powerful
and INSCRIPTIONS woman.
AS a direct foil to the preceding
character is that Of Angela di savelli,
the daughter of a Florentine noble
who is the Lily Of the story. Angela
is first seen at the house Of her father,
the Count, where he is approached by
Ferrara, disguised as Frontini, who
has a scheme for the downfall Of the
Papacy. The Count spurns Ferrara,
and as a result he is imprisoned in
the Fortress Of st. Angelo. Angels
goes to Rome to seek her parent, and
in her absolute innocence calls at the
house Of Luerezia to plead his cause.
1t appears that Lucreziai is attached
to 0rsini, the young noble betrothed
to Angela, and she welcomes the girl
with subtle design. This, of course,
il not apnarent to The innocent FIoran-
tine maiden.
At this time the Prince of Colonna
is the favored sutton Of Borgia, but
he is attracted to Angela, which
affords Luerezia another opportunity
for her INSCRIPTIONS designs. Under
q pledge Of secrecy Angela is allowed
to visit her father in the fortress and
penetrates the inquisition chamber
Among The councillors ID che chamber
is Cardinal Capua, in disguise, and IN
the president Angela detects the voice
Of the man who had approached her
father with the plot to dethrone the
Pope and Vatican. She denounces
him and the Cardinal, appreciatihg
the truth Of her tale, dissoIyes the
council.
Her father and brothers are re-
leased and full Of joy Angela hurries
to the palace Of Luerezia only to be
met By her lover with a charge Of
perfidy, exhibiting convincing proofs,
due to the Vaccinations of Borgia.
the Prince Of Golonna is deceived,
and declares his belief in Angelas
unfaithfulness. It then follows that
the Prince and Silvio, the lover, risk
their lives on the cast Of the dice.
Silvio loses and is to take his life
an hour.
Bound by her oath, Angela is un-
able to prove her innocence, while
the beautiful Borgia maintains a grim
silence. While everything is dark
news arrives that Ferrara is excum-
and Borgia is exiled.
The clouds roll by and the sorrow
sn%shrouding the life Of the innocent
lily falls away.

illustrating the agency of flies in
spreading disease germs, and he has
spread it throughout the city in an
effort to lessen the number of cases of
typhoid fever and other diseases hav-
ing origin in food contaminated by

The protection Of the health Of babies

foods are responsible for the loss Of

warrant official action either by the

THE present disturbance has been
caused by a few young hot heads and
does not in any way reflect the real
feeling in the islands.
THE Hawaiian police should cope
with the situation, and if necessary ar
rest every man who engages in a riot
or incites a riot. The Japanese govern
ment will not tolerate any lawlessness
on the part of it's people wherever they
may be.
mo appeal for financial aid or moral
support has been made to the Japanese
in San Francisco so far as l am adj
vised. If such an appeal were made
by the Hawaiian Japanese it probably
would be in vain, for there is little or
nothing in common between the strikers

Ice King Is Released
for Four Months

NEW YORK, June 16.-Charles w.
Morse, convicted banker, was. released
on bail today pending the taking up of
his appeal in the federal circuit court
of appeals next October.
For nearly four months Morse will be

Imprisonment imposed upon the former
ice king in November of last year.
The bail bond for $125,000 was signed

Then l shall get back here and climb
into the harness to pull all the tangled
threads together again"

ceived there, and she passed one of the
busiest afternoons of her life marshall
ing her husbands friends and getting
their signatures to the necessary
papers in time to bring about his re-
lease before sunset.

the activity of twenty-five Of his friends
who petitioned the court in May, say
ing they believed in his innocence and

a bail bond for an indefinite sum. The
signers included Frank A. Munsey,
Augustus Van Wyck, John d. Grim

inent New York bankers and business
men,

prison in Atlanta Ga Since his con-
viction he has been in the Tombs At
