gorgeous. Mr. O'Hearn will be as

young lady in possession of the
apartments, who mistakes him for a
burglar, and treats him as such.

sing and dance in excellent man.

week Mr.. Smith O'Brien, the sing
ing comedian, will be the one to
offer the single feature.

In the early East Indian drama,
the male characters of the two high
est castles (priests and warriors)
spoke Sanscrit. while all the wom-

people spoke Prakit. The latter
tongue was subdivided into eight
different dialects, the higher quail

Death of Col. w. r. Andrews.

Death of Col. w. r. Andrews.
Col Wesley R. Andrews, aged 72,
died at Washington, last Saturday,
morning, after a four weeks illness.
Funeral services were held at the Port
land hotel Sunday afternoon; his re-
mains were taken to Brooklyn, on
Monday for interment with his wife
and two daughters. The death of this
truly grand gentleman is deep loss to
the Republican party as we'll as the
Nation. His incessant work was
wonder to his friends, yet he seemed
never to tire. AS private secretary to
Senator Penrose, Chairman of the Re
publican State Committee and several
other similar positions he was surely
wonder. Senator Penrose pays the
following tribute:
81 feel the death of Colonel Andrews
as personal bereavement" said Sena-
tor Penrose on Saturday. 1--WE were
so closely associated for 80 many years
that it is as if a member of my own
family had been taken away from me.
Colonel Andrews knew and was known
by practically every man in public life
in Pennsylvania and had large circle
of friends in the wide field of national
activities. He was appreciated by all.
But | believe that | knew and under
stood him better than any one else and
l had more reason than any to appre-
ciate the qualities which made him in
valuable in campaign after campaign
and in the detial work, not only of our
State Committee, but also of the Com
mittee of the Senate, of which he was
secretary.
sit is no perfunctory tribute to say
that his loss will be felt. Every man
connected in any way with the Repub-
lican organization of Pennsylvania
knows how he will be missed, and not
only for the work he did, but for him
self. His qualities as a man and a
friend were so apparent to those in as
sociation with him as his tirelessness,
his mastery of detail, his thoroughness
and soundness of his judgment. 1t
would be superfluous to say more.
You did not know him as well as / did,
but yon knew him."
We knew Col. Andrews intimately
for many years and respected him very
highly. He was Republican after
our own heart-a good fighter, but of a
kind captivating disposition. Once his
friend, always his friend. We shall al
ways remember him with profound
reverence.

"The Girl From the U. S. A."

In late review of theatrical produc
tions by prominent dramatic critic,
the play "The Girl from TIE u. S. A."
received full measure of praise.
The story deals with an American
girl who has been placed in an aristo-
cratic convent in Paris, France, that
her education might receive an ultra
"Finish." There she has formed a
deep and lasting friendship with vi
vienne de Voltone, French girl.
The play opens with deep intrigue,
both social and political, on the part of
the Turkish Ambassador to France.
The girl follows her abducted friend in
to the innermost recesses of the sacred
ly guarded harem of Turkish pasha,
and in the guise of a new "Favorite"
is terrorized to find that the very Turk
whose scheme she is trying to frus-
trate, has fallen in love with her. Only
by shrewd diplamacy can she save her
self from the clutches of an unlicensed
barbarian. And later in the ceremon
ious mazes of Chinese society, her ma
tive wit saves the day for hereelt and
friends.
Although the plot leads one among
scenes of oriental splendor, the tone of
the play remains vividly and thorough
ly American in sentiment. The eli
makes are thrilling and unexpected,
and the comedy of several novel char
acters is as welcome as it is diverting.
There are some splendid musical num-
bers added to an already complete en-
tertainment, and altogether the Girl
from the U. S. A., is somebody you
will want to be acquainted with when
she appears at the Emporium Opera
House on Monday evening, Feb. 21st.
