him she accompanies him to the boat as
the Hawaiians sing their beautiful ma
tive song of farewell, "Aloha.'
Another big feature Of the bill is the
marvellous riding performance by the
Verona troupe of lady cyclists, With
this aggregation, and as feature, of
the troupe, comes Master Wallis,
Europe 8 greatest and most daring
characteristic Of fast and furious rid
ing and pretty striking costumes.
i The bohemian quartettc is living up
to the reputation which the talented
sonesters esta blishcd while in the east,
and arc proving q pleasant innovation
OF the Empress programme.
The really funny part Of the bill is
when Ncuss and Eldred make their APP
pearancc as clown acrobats and gym
nasts. These artists perform some
wonderful stunts in tumbling, and one
is wondering they are able TO do them;
IN the next breath they do something
still more wonderful, injecting the com
edy for which they arc known, which
results in screams Of laughter from the
audience
Raging and rag time selections arc
a feature that has been holding En-
press audiences us in spell since the
opening Of the present bill, This part
of the programme is taken care Of by
two, young men who arc past masters
IN the art. They are Klass and Bernie,
who have appeared in the leading thea
ters in Now York, making good in
every instance.
a -Four Leaf Clover strong ru-
raj dramatic sketch, is proving one
Of the most interesting Of any dramatic
playlets to appear at the Empress. IT
is being presented by John Hildreth,
the well-known protcan actor sup
ported by strong company Of players.
The sketch brings out in realistic
manner hfe ON a California farm, and
offers II rare bit Of character work, for
which Mr.. Hildreth is noted. Tho piece
is gorgeouSly staged and claborately
mounted.
As is generally the case. tho weekly
review contains any number of inter
esting features which appeal TO EN-
press audiences.
The bill for next week promises to
be even better than the one that has
been so popular this week. For the
big headline attraction, Lew Fields

one comes to record the produc-
tion of new play by Mrs, Min
ME Maddcrn Fiske. Here is II
great actress. Let US not delay
until she figures only on painted
canvas to appreciate that fact.
The new play is serious and
fairly interesting piece Of work
by Edward Sheldon, called ''The
High Road aud its best value
lies in the fact that it gives Mrs,
F'iske role more worthy Of her
than any she has played for many
years. 1t covers twenty-one years
of n woman's life. At the first we
sec Mary Page as a girl Of seven
teen, imagining great, golden
things in the sunset that slants
across her fathers farm, in Rens-
selacr county. There is n rock
on which the sun strikes, and
il seems TO the girl TO be the happy
palace Of all the princosses Of
fancy; but the young artist, who
is boarding at the farm, tells her
that the dazzling rock is only a
vantage point from which to see
a rock more dazzling, and that
when that promontory has been
scaled goal beyond is visible.
With him she leaves the farm,
dominated by a hard, dishonorable
father, whose habit it is TO lash
her with horscwhip,
Next we see her in a beautiful
apartment on That graceful thor
oughfsre of New York called
Riverside drive.
She has spent three years with
the artist. largely in foreign travel,
thereby coming TO know and apprc-
ciate the finer beanties. But
with this external knowledge, an
inner understanding had developed,
Mary realizes how poor life de-
pcndence offers; she has studied
working women: she quits the
artist, even though he bcgs her to
become his wife, and goes TO work
in 4 shirt waist factory.
IT HE remaining acts occur
u eighteen years later. The ar
list has died; Mary Page has become
a power in the cause of woman.
Primarily as the leader of strike,
but more forcibly as lobbyist in
Albany, she has pushed through n

wv liner ON the new bill at the
Orpheuu this week, he con-
tributed To vaudeville one Of the most
distinct and appealing bits Of satire yet
given TO the stage. The title refers TO
the period OF tle playlet's action and
the subject has to do with the reversed
condition of man and wife ut such
time when suffragism becomes a
reality.
In this clever little play the wife be.
comes the brcadwioner and with that
responsibility has assumed all the per
quisites formerly belonging 10 the hus-
band. Jesse j.. Lasky is responsible
for the production Of ''In 1899. - and
in casting the comedy gem has en-
trusted the role of the new husband to

tinguisbed American actor of Rip Van

played by Felicc Morris, an actress
whose capabilities are manifold.

NEW YORK. July "a protest
against Umpire Westervelt, to be lodged
with President Ban Johnson, of the
American League, has been drawn up
at a secret meeting of Manager Stovall,
of the st. Louis Browns; Manager
Harry Davis OF Cleveland; and Manager
Jimmy Callahan, Of the White Sox,
1t became known today. The baseball
men met secretly yesterday in a hotel
here. 1t was learned that the protest
against Westervelt is on the ground
that many of his decisions are wrong
Manager Stovall was suspended recently
because of an argument with Wester-
Welt.
This will be the first known protest
against an umpire. and the result will
be watched with keen interest by base
ball men in both the big leagues.
