THE Lily"

1t is announced that the phase of the
so much current dramatic presentation
unfolded in The Lily" has hitherto re-
manned unexpected. Mr.. Belasco has not
made public the details Of the story, but
expresses the opinion that it will arouse
much popular discussion. While THE
Lily is Of French origin, the fact that
its ada ptation has been carried out en-
urely by MIR. BelascO is ample warrant
for expecting that its strong points will
be thrown into more vivid relief than in
the Partisan original. During rehearsals
OF THE Lily serious obstacle pre-
scented itself in the shape Of an injunction
against that distinguished actress Nance
ONeill, who is prominent in the cast. a
friendly arrangement enables Miss O'Neill
to proceed with rehearsals and the play
will be given in the Belasco Theater with
the cast as first selected.
Bright Eyes"
Cecil Lean and Florence HoIbrook have
been engaged by Joseph NJ. Gates for the
leading parts in Bright Eyes," the new
musical comedy which comes to the Ma
tional next week. The new play is by
the same authors, Charles Dickson having
written the book, Otto Hauerbach the ly-
rios and Karl Hoschna the music. The
play is based on the popular farce Mis-
takes VIII Happen" and the story is
complete and logical. Mr.. Gates has
given the play an elaborate scenic setting
and there have been introduced a number
OF novel and elaborate mechanical and
electric effects. Each chorus girl makes
more than ten changes of costume during
the progress of the play.
"The Climax"
The Climax" which will be the at
traction at the Columbia Theater next
week, Is play dealing with people such
as are met in the daily routine Of life.
One Of the characters is Luigi Golfanti an
italian singing master, with mixture of
gentleness and FEASIBILITY in his nature
and quaint aloofness from the principal
things of life. a second character is
Pietro, his son, a swarthy, hot tempered
and sometimes morose young composer
A third is Adelina Won Hagen, old Luigi
Golfantfs pupil from a western town,
possessed with ambitions to become an
operate celebrity. and a fourth is John
Raymond. a young doctor who loves AIDE
lima, but hates the life she is preparing
to enter. The four characters will be in
terpreted here by the original players,
Leona Watson, Eff1ngham Pinto, Howard
Lange and James Ryan.

In Civil Life.

Gen. Vincent was member of the adj
visory board of Trinity College. the board
of visitors of Providence Hospital. a
member of the Loyal Legion and for
mer president of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution. A few years ago he was
appointed a member Of the Legislative
committee of the Sons OF the American
Revolution to urge upon Congress the
enactment of laws prohibiting the des-
ecration of the flag by using it for ad.
vertising matter and for similar pur-
poses
Among the books or monographs he hao

Cost Of Electric Light.

At one post Gen. Aleshire says that
the cost of electric light current was re-
duced 331s per cent. A saving of $11O,-
800 could be effected throughout the serv-
ice. he estimates.
The frequent changes in assignment of
quartermasters. the report says, has been
detrimental to works under construction
at the posts. According to Gen. Aleshire,
a saving of 81, 133, 900 could be effected by
changing the system of assignment and
increasing the number Of officers.
In closing his report Gen. Aleshire
makes the usual plea for more clerical
assistance and additional Office room. He
says the rooms occupied by the quarter
masters department in the War Depart
ment are insufficient and overcrowded,
and It's records are widely scattered and
in constant danger of loss or destruction.
The need for readjustment Of salaries and
of provision for superannuated clerks. he
says. increases from year to year. "Some
legislation would be welcomed" he said,
that would remove the embarrassing ne
cessity of having to recommend the de-
motion or discharge of employees who
have faithfully and efficiently given the
best years Of their lives to the govern
ment service. and against whom the only
charge is that advancing age is reducing
their efficiency"

A tentative promise to save the military

Quartermaster General Aleshire of the
army in his annual report submitted to-
day. <.-.
A. considerable number of the civilian

out he could save the government s2S0.OOO
At one post, Gen. Aleshire points out,
the local authorities estimated $1,000
pounds of coal per month would be re-
quired. Investigation by his Office showed
$1,000 pounds, reduction of 27.5 per
cent would be sufficient. On fuel for
entire service, he estimates 1854. could
be saved.
