Wines for Royalty.

Sherry Is a wine that has almost

sold large quantity Of sherry that
had been laid down in the royal eel

and since the sale of sherry has quite
fallen out from the list of fashion

knew what he was about. He had
reached the age when light wines are
advisable, for health's sake. and he
neither wished to oblige himself nor
his guests to partake of even the
smoothest, mellowest sherry. Among

NEW NEWS Of YESTERDAY
Vigil Of Love That Killed a Great
Scientist.
How Affection Of Lord Kelvin, the
Famous British Physicist, for
His Wife Really Led to
His Death.
BY e. ]. EDWARDS.

Two years ago in December, the
cable brought the news to this coun-
try, where he was widely known and
loved, that Lord Kelvin, the great Brit
ish physicist, had died after brief
Illness. A day or so later the cabled
accounts of mis- funeral told that the
only flowers on his casket at the fu-
neral was a wreath from Lady Kel-
win. How Lord Kelvin's great love
for his wife really led to his death is
here told for the first time, and the
story is vouched for by Mr., George
Westinghouse of Pittsburg, who was
one of Lord Kelvin's most intimate
friends.

HACKETT THEATRE.
Andrezc Mack PLedses IN "The
Prince of Bohemia" ."

II Andrew Mack had begun with the
second half of his new musical play, THE
Prince Of Bohemia" which he introduced
at the Hackett Theatre last night, he
would have had q much more successful
performance. The play was in two acts,
the first Of which dragged heavily, but
the second half was as gay as one could
desire. Mr.. Mack and Miss Christie Mac
Donald, in the second act, sang better and
acted better and the play ran more
smoothly in every way.
The play deals with the love affairs Of
Dick Conyers (Andrew Mack, a devil-nay-
care sort of chap, who follows Angela
Triton Miss MacDonald), whom he loves
and her father and brother to England
There in spite of the fact that Angela has
been persuaded by her father to give him
up, Conyers, with the connivance of Allan
Triton (Harold Crane), Miss Tritton's
brother, irpersonates a servant and is
constantly in the presence OF the girl
whom he loves. Miss Triton hears OF
his disguise, and in very pretty song
she shows her contempt" for him, by
throwing him a rose when his back is
turned.
She makes up her mind 10 have a little
fun, and impersonates most charningy a
young English lord who pretends that he is

her. She poses as a FOUNDER" and is
forced by Conyers to smoke a cigarette and
drink whisI1ey and soda, which she does TO
the very great amusement Of the audience.
Conyers fails TO comprehend the situation.
However, after disposing of the rivalry of
two foreign suitors by revealing their char
acter to Miss Tritton's father CIV. T. Carle-
tom. Conyers secures the Iatter's consent
to ask Miss Triton to marry him. she
agrees in a very pretty scene at curtain fall.
In spite of the bad night the house was
filled, and there was much enthusiasm for
both Mr.. Mack and Miss Macdonald. Mr..
Mack quite himself. especially in ele
second act. He sang well and acted con-
vincing1y except where he was not quite
sure of his lines. He wore his clothes we'll
but he would persist in buttoning his dress
coat. His Irish brogue, witticisms and
"asides" were much appreciated by an audi
erce that was cOnspicuOusly Irish-Ameri-
can.
Miss Macdonald was charming. Her
beauty was refreshing. Her dancing was
graceful and her singing was delightful.
Her best bit of acting in mems

minor part Of Ashby Triton. Harold
