Francis Wilson is a stout opponent
Of actors taking curtains, or stepping be-
fore the stage curtain to accept applause
after they have just died or swooned in
accordance with the tragic dictates Of
the part they are playing. But then Mr..
Wilson Is always careful to keep alive
throughout every act Of his own plays.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

The COiumbia-"SOIdier of Fortune"
Soldiers OF Fortune" that arousing
story Of South American intrigue from
the pen OF Richard Harding Davis as
originally dramatized for use as a star
ring medium for Robert Edison. will be
the attraction TO which the Columbia
Players Will bend their energies for pro-
duction at the Columbia Theater a week
from tomorrow night. II is an intensely
interesting story and one that has lent
Itself TO the uses OF the dramatist as
few books have. Elaborate stage set
tings will be required, and II is the pur-
pose Of the management to take fun ad-
vantage OF the opportunities presented,
both spectacularly and in the assembling
Of cast OF great acting strength. One
OF the purposes in presenting the play
at this time is TO give the public an Op-
portunity Of judging OF the remarkable
versatility Of the new leading woman Of
the company, Blanche Hall. who will be
seen in a part entirely different from the
one in which she will appear this week.

dress Of the mother and Of the pretender
were well enough. but the garb worn by
an English lord in the latter quarter Of
the nineteenth century is described as
ridiculous.
The Duke Of Dorincourt had a long
flowing Marlinesque beard. which he ca
ressed, and in the morning in his house
he wore George III satin knee breeches
and a long cloak, somewhat Of the cut
of a Robin Hood mantle, also in pale

the garb. The child actor who took the

the role Of Dearest and the other who
did the part Of the profIgate's wife all
are said to have shown talent Of a high

a profession. for which intelligent
preparation is demanded. There
should be no more question as to the
need OF education and training for
the woman who adopts home-making
as her profession, and who Is to min
lister TO the many wants Of a family,
than that the doctor, lawyer, teacher
or preacher will realize the need OF

The naval appropriation bill pending

There will probably be a new anti

the bill introduced by Representative

formal action today by the committee

probable the bill will be ready Satur-

EVIDENCE coRRoRoRATED.
George F. Stewards charge that Ed
ward A. Brown offered in 1892 in be-
half of Senator big Tim" Sullivan
to have an insurance bill killed for
$4,000, was corroborated in some
details by E. E. Clapp, formerly OF
the Fidelity and Casualty Company,
of which Mr.. Seward is president.
Mr.. Clapp testified that it was his
brother-in-law, former Warden Brown,
of Sing Sing prison, who suggested
that Edward Brown, then purchasing
agent at Sing Sing, might know of
some way in which the bill could be
defeated. The witness testified that
he arranged the meeting.

the Travellers Insurance Company of
Hartford, Conn, testified that the
TraKelers first employed Buckley in

serve bill through on account of his
