THE NEW LYCEUM.
"ROse Buds"

The New Lyceum has the Rosebud Ex.
travaganza Company as the attraction
for its second week of the season, and
judging by the enthusiasm with which
it was greeted by two large holiday aud
fences yesterday, It is going to be one
Cf the biggest attractions of the season.
Joe Adams, who had an eating house
kere before he found out that he was a
comedian, Is the chief funmaker this
week. He is ably assisted by a good
cast. among whom are Jack and Al
Gruer and Clayton Frye. Miss Helen
Van Buren Is featured and she has one

Among the principals assisting Miss
Van Buren are Mable Hazleton and
Laura Houston. The song hit of the
show was my Little Rose Bud" sung

Among the specialties introduced the
best were Gruet and Gruet in a musical
mixture. the Livingstone family in an
acrobatic act, and Miss Aramada playing
the violin.
There is not much of plot to the per-
formance-just enough to give each one

jokes, and to give a chorus of pretty
girls chance to appear on the stage.

Reforming women's Clothes.

From the New York World.
A movement has been begun in the
West to secure the reform of women's
cloths as being extremely dangerous
both to morals and health" and the
threat is made that "the tight-fitting
dress and bodice should be taken from
women by law. II necessary" Doubt
less the women voters in the five suffra-
gist States will have something TO say
about that, unless, indeed. women S
clothes are made the subject of Federal
regulation.
As one OF the counts in the indict-
ment. DIR. Effie Lodbell alleges that
dressing like this caused the murder of
poor little Julia Connors.'' To make the
crime OF a degenerate youth the motive
OF a dress-reform campaign is curious
example of logic. Bishop Fallows charges
tn. 'women's dresses are cut to attract
attention. with an idea OF tantalizing by
half-concealing and half-revealing.'
To that charge the sex will have TO
plead guilty. Women have dressed 10

of time. and ought at this day to be i'm

THE GAYETY THEATER.
Harry Hnstings' Big show

The holiday crowd certainly enjoyed
the sterling performance of Harry
Hastings Big Show. whose somewha,
vague title OF The Girl OF Many Hus.
bands caused many conjectures be.
lore the rise or the curtain. On viewing
the stage after the overture We find
that the name has nothing to do with
the play. but that the play was made
to make the audience forget their trou-
bles, and merely a vehicle for a num-
Der OF sprightly songs, pretty girls anc
couple OF celever comedians.
The shred OF the plot hangs about the
shoulders of Sam Sidman, as Angus,
Pilcerman.> and Tom Coyne. as Dan
Hickey, who are having a high old time
away from their home and wives. A
red rose plays the largest part of the
plot, and manages to mix things ur
with all those who wear it. Sidman
and Coyne are very funny, and keep
things going in good style. The lead
ing lady. Mabel Leslie, holds the spot
for a considerable number of moments
and made a hit with the audience. Ollie
Oden sang most OF the songs, and this
lady was the real hit OF the show. Lee
Rose, as the college freshman. did fancy
stunts with his feet. and came in for
large amount of applause. OF course,
there was a rube detective. and this
part was very aptly played by Thomas
Shea The rest of the company was
waIdron, Alma Baldwin and Ada Ap-
bott.
The chorus is more than snappy. and
they work with a vim that makes one
forget the heat. The show is up to
the standard which has been set by
this house. and II one takes in this per-
formance he is bound to be amused to
the full extent OF the word.

DIAL OF PROGRESS
Is TURNED BACK
Post-ofice Closing Law Is Thus Con.
sidered by W. A. Colcord, Who
Commends The Herald.

Commencing The Washington Herald
for an editorial on the curtailment OF
post-office service on Sunday. w. A
Colcord, Of Washington. compiler and
editor OF an s0O-page work entitled
American State Papers Bearing on
Sunday Legislation" asserted last night
that all that had been accomplished by
the new law is that Congress has now.
| and in a new way. been committed to
| compulsory Sabbath"
Mr.. Coicord reviewed the agitation for
the closing Of post-offices on Sundays
since ISL. He quoted Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock as saying:
The Department was not prepared to
recommend the wholesale cessation of
Sunday work"
There was very little opposition to the
measure before its passage, said Mr.. Col
cord.
las soon. however. as the fact of the
passage OF this law became generally
known. the whole country was aroused
and many protests began to be made
against it. The meaning Of the law SEEM
ed plain. Henceforth. 1t said. post-offices

mean the closing Of the post-offices named
on Sunday; and such seemed to be the
general understanding OF the intent of
the measure as It came from the halls
of Congress.
The public. under this liberal con-
struction' OF the law, having thus been
assured that matters in the Post-otfice
Department were to go on very mucn
the same as usual, the agitation over the
question has very naturally quite mate
rally subsidized from Its FIRST violent out
burst. What, therefore. has been accom-
plished by this Sunday mail closing law?
This, and chiefly this: Congress has now,
and in new way, been committed to
compulsory Sabbath legislation.
Its long record in refusing to enact
such law has been broken. Although
,the law is only a small item tackled on
to a piece of annual legislation, 1t es-
tablishes precedent for all time to come
An editorial in The Washington Herald
well said: Nothing that the Congress
just ended has done or left undone has
turned back the dial of progress more
than this. The same authority also cor
rectly observes that the act is class
legislation in more than one respect,
and is oppression Of the people by paid
servants Of the people And what is
still worse, 1t is not at all likely that
the misstep will be retraced"

ACADEMY.
ssThe Common Law"

Before a large and appreciative audi.
ence The Common Law began a
weeks engagement at the Academy OF
Music yesterday. with special holi.
day matinee.
The play Is a dramatization of the
absorbing novel Of the same name, by
Robert w. Chambers. and IT holds the
attention from the rise of the curtain
to Its fall In the last act.
Lola Fisher, as Valerie West, and
William jeffrey, as Louis Neville, are
supported by a strong cast in Walter
Fenner, Edward Foley Bernard Riggs,
Charles Cay. Marguerite Chance and
Pearl Abbott.
The play has its strongest appeal in
Its portrayal OF a woman struggling
against the conventions-valerie West,
artists model. and sweetheart of Louis
Neville. the artist. The model arouses
sympathy in revealing the heartaches
woman bears when she is IN love with
man in a different strata of society
As the novel created a sensation, so
its dramatization Is gaining a grip. and
prospects are that the Academy will be
taxed to its capacity for the remainder
or the week.

When the time for the fireworks arrived

and the merry crowd jostled elbows.

The fireworks display was the big fea-

spectacle were repaid for their trip. All
