of Axum, since which event the city was un-

Ethiopia was the name given by the Greeks
to a country south of Egypt variously conceiv-
ed as including only Nubia (Aethiopia AegyptD.
or Nubia, Sonnar, Kordofan and Abyssinia, or
region extending indefinitely east and west
from the Upper Nile. but applied after the fall
of Meroe more particularly to Abyssinia The
name is said to have had its origin from the
fact that 1t was alluded to by the Greeks as
country of sunburped faces.
Historically there were three distinct king
doms known as Ethiopia those of Napata, Me-
roe and Askum. There is no definite evidence
that either of these included at any time all
the territory between the southern border OF
Egypt and Bah ell Mandeb
Already in the time of the old empire the
Egyptians had relations with their southern
neghbors. From the forests of Nubia they OBJ
tanned large proportion of their timber, and
the city of Abu (Eephantine) derived its name
from the ivory which found its way to this
place from the interior of Africa. King Uncas

AL III. Wilson. using Metz in Ireland
as a jaunting car to carry his songs, re-
turned TO the Columbia Theater last
evening for a second presentation OF the
play, and with it opened the regular win
ter season of the E street playhouse.
Mr.. Wilson's friends accorded him en-
thuSiaStic welcome, and showed appre-
citation of the entire cpmpany's efforts.
THE plays the thing" wrote the Bard
of Avon. but had he been discussing
Metz in Ireland" he would have added
that Al Wilson and his vocal melody are,
like Hamlet. the chief essential of the
play. Mr.. Wilson has on the stage a
free and easy grace and manner, droii
and lively humor, such as to promote
friendly feeling between audience and
player. and this is ripened into strong
friendship by Mr.. Wilson's voice.
Those who saw Metz in Ireland last
year enjoyed again last night the livery
of other days. with which Mr.. Wilson has
won friends among theatergoers. Inc
humming of MY Queen of Dreams his
new song, heard in the lobby as the au-
dience was leaving, gave ample testimony
of its popularity. The lyric tenor mao
good chorus support, Mable Craig es-
pecially adding effective realism to the
vocal Banshee tale.
The play is the conventional Irish ro-
nance, with its stony-hearted landlord OF
the manor house, it's peasants cottage,
its pretty Irish colleens and their lovers,
and its generous long-lost heir to the es-
tate. The course of true love amid such
surroundings does not always run Smooth
but 1t ends in a bridal bower. and true
worth triumphs over veneered evil schem-

Academy of Music.

THE wolf,'' play with Canadian back
woods for setting, was given at the
Academy last night. 1t is from the pen or
Eugene Walters, and has arrived annually
since making its successful first appear
ance in this city several years ago. 1t is
wild. first-principle style of love story.
Along with the simple story of devotion
which Jules Baubien shows toward Hiida
McTavish, there is another story woven
into the play, showing enough of villainy
and heroism to appeal to those who seek
excitement beyond the footlights.
The story starts with peaceful condl-
tons. 1t is Indian summer, and barns
are being stacked with grain. The farm
hands working for Andrew McTavish. a
Scotch settler in the north woods. are do
ing the same things they have done every
harvest time for great many years. into
this picture steps an American engineer.
William Mcdonald. He stops at the home
of McTavish. mad man of the north
and a woman hater. Mcdonald is run
ming a railroad line through the country.
and the road will make McTavish rich
man. Mcdonald is shown TO be pretty
bad character. Jules Baubien. a native
Canadian, discovers that his half sister
has been betrayed and flung aside by
Mcdonald, leaving her to die, and he sets
about to kill the American. In his VOW
he is Joined BY an odd character named
Batiste lie Grand. Hudson bay trader
who had loved the girl whom Mcdonald
let die
These two have the possession of this
secret and discover that the engineer is
winning the heart of McTavishs daughter
Hilda. Jules. in sweetly simple man.
ner. warns Hilda of the kind of love
which the engineer is offering. He makes
so great an impression that the girl re-
pulses the American just as he is about
to take her away from her fathers farm.
McTavish, gulled by the promises of the
American will not listen to the girl. who
tells her father that she is going away
with Jules. She runs away with Jules
finally. and the efforts to prevent her es-
cape make a thrilling third act Jules and
the American meet at a crossing on the
Bear river, and have desperate fight in
the night. This is the great scene of the
play. Jules kills the American. and the
story ends with Hilda waiting for her
hero. who is about to meet her and carry
her away.
