Belasco.

Madame N" repulsive i'm all outward

emotions which impress at first meeting.
became known to Washingtonians last
night from the stage of the Belasco The
alter. At that time there was revealed the
reason why the woman of mystery has
won the keehest sympathy-almost akin to
love-of audiences in three countries and
has wrung from them the sincere tribute
of tears-the mother love that at the times
of it's dominance transformed a face made
depraved by low living and drug drinking
into face of almost shining beauty, that
lifted living soul from the depths of evil
to the heights of goodness.
So naturally sympathetic is the human
heart to a basic righteous emotion that
it's exhibition is usually sure to put lump
in ones throat or prompt the extending OF
a helping hand. A play that is intended
to exemplify such an emotion or to direct
fatal shaft at contrary impulse of
human nature has the first quality of sue
cess. But it's exemplifcation must ring
true and must be presented sturdily and
pointedly almost TO the extent of exag-
geration. That Madame X" does that
was the unqualified verdict Of the gather
ing at the Belasco last night-a verdict
expressed by tears that trickled down the
cheeks of those not stony hearted and
blase.
The appeal of Madame X' to the emo
tions begins almost as soon as the cur
tain rises for the prologue, when the re-
pentant wife and mother, returned to the
home of her austere and unsympathetic
husband from whom she has fled two
years before with her lover. begs forgive
ness because her mother love impels her
to be with her son, and is cast out of the
house. The heartstrings are set to vio-
lent vibrations in the first act, when the
same woman, brought low by twenty
years spent in the cutters OF life, exhibits
the dominance of her passion for her
child by shooting a knave to save her
has become. There is relief of the ten
sion for a brief respite in the second act.

CAsTAWAYs IN FROZEN LAND.

Seattle, Feb. How the crew and
Passengers of the ship Farallon were saved
is told by j. e. Thwaites, mail clerk of the
wrecked steamer, in Il dispatch from Seward,
Alaska. He says
owe had one passenger to land at liam
M Bay, whore we arrived early on the morn
ing of Jan. 5. La q binding snow-storm
the steamer struck q reef Il mile off shore.
The FaralIon hit the reef at high water.
When the tide receded she was caught amid
ships on the rocks.
"Down the icy sides Of the ship we
lowered ourselves to the small boats. They
were tossed about by cakes of ice. Tue
shore could DO seen dimly through the
snow. We could hear the ronr of the surf
and the reports, as of q cannon, when
ice cakes we're hurled against the rocks.
It seemed for u time that we should be
unable TO land because Of the high surf.
At last we discovered a small cove that
offered some shelter, and landed safely.
A more desolate region could not have been
imagined.
"rhe sailors put the passengers and sup
plies ashore, and then turned bnck to the
Farallon, from which they took sails, tar
pauling, baggage, mails, provisions, and
mattresses. When night came the out
look was disheartening. The wind increas-
cd in bitterness. Fire was made from
driftwood dug out of the ice and snow.
W had no lights. We got water for the
coffee by melting snow. We ate our meal
of coffee, bacon, and frozen bread in gloomy
silence.
"On subsequent days we made trips to
the wreck and brought off material with
which we constructed stoves and other
convenience. ". T..Iime8, FEB, 8.

DO ANTS REASON

To the Etitor Of The OUer Seas Daily Mail
Sir, With regard 10 the article in your
last weeks issue 90 the topic D Ants
Reason ?" may I give you the following evil
dence =
1 was walking in the verandah of my
h Duse at Ahmedabad when l noticed a par
ticularly busy colony Of ants passing rapidly
through a hole in the mud floor close to the
wall Of the house. In the corner Of the
verandah was a bottle of Stockholm tar,
which l kept for my horses hoofs. I took
it aud made a thick wall of the tar from the
wall round across the line of ants back to
the wall on the other side of the hole, thus
completely cutting off all communication
There was evident CONSERVATION at first, but
i'll about a minute they settled what was to
be done. Both those outside and those
within commenced to throw up the dust
from the floor, and in . very short time the
difficulty was overcome and q dry path once
more opened. What experience could they
have had of such a catastrophe? And what
but reason could have overcome it?
Yours faithfully,
Exeter. j. HIBTHORPE.
