Of the first Tom show which had a run
of 100 nights there.
Boston then went in for Uncle Tom
with another version for $50 nights,
while the Troy adaptation was taken
TO New York for a run of close 10 a
year. The same year saw the pre-
sentation of the play in two London
tbeaters simultaneously.
The division of sentiment on the
slavery question was a stimulus raad
lily conceivable.
William A. Brady made two revivals
of the play with significant "asts, The
first presenting Wilton Lacklye as the
old slave. In the second he studded
the program with the well-known
LANES, Jefferson De Angels playing
Marks the lawyer, Maud Raymond be
ing Topsy and John Kellard, Uncle
Tom.
The honors Of the performance went
to Theodore Roberts as Simon Legree
and to Emily Rigl as the octoroon. Il
was too late for mawkishness to show
in comparison with picturesque vii
lainy and the melodramatic moments
of the slave girl.
Mr. Brady much given to resur"ec-

McFadden brothers cleared 100000

million, Leon Washburne found it a

credited with having made themselves

OF the burlesques Of "Uncle Tom 5
Cabin" the keenest was written by
Glen Macdonough and Victor Herbert
for a private performance. George
Marion was Uncle Tom and the climax
of the story was a revel in a scenic
artists heaven.
The burlesque was begun with the
chase Of Eliza over the ice, and in
this Herbert showed his musical skill
with a paraphrase of the ride of the
Valkuere, while the picture of the
chase itself was a humorous reminder
of the panaroma of 'Parsifal."

tlfs, and in the true style of the fest

NATURE PUTS AN END TO

Scientific men all over the world
have been watching the progress OF
the weather during the season just
closed, in the hope Dr Habenicht had
found at last one OF natures great
secrets, but now II is sadly realized
that the secret remains as much
mystery as ever.
Or. Habenicht, after many years

nounced last fall that he believed he
had found certain definite relations

sible for the winds, which in turn
were responsible for the weather,
AS result OF his observations, DR..
Habenicht ventured the prediction
that the winter OF 1901 would
prove 10 be considerably colder than
the average OF many years. At the
same time he said that II the winter
did not turn out unusually cold Ia
