Miss Cleveland as ZaZa vGls the sensation of the evening. Her inter pretation of this most difficult char acter was original in many respects and showed a surprising insight into the aims Of sthe author. Miss Cleve- sland was excellent in the motional scenes and her fine gradation of the different phases of intense feeling which the play calls for was the cause of favorable comment.
 The critics had been anxious to see how she would acquit herself in this her most ambitious undertaking. That she succeeded beyoftG the expectation of her mont ardent admirers is an indication that she is destined to re- new her local popularity.
 Her support was exceptionally good and the management of the company has gotten together a. company of players with versatility and ability seldom seen in stock. John M. Byrnes, the new leading man. is pecu- liarly fitted for his position in a com pany of this character. He was seen at his best last. night and was satis- factory In every respect.

.THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN"

The laughing success of the season. The Travelling Salesman" by. James Foorbes, will be the offering at the Park Theatre on Labor Day matinee and evening, on which date the orig

THE PARK
GauETY GIRLS.

Lovers of good burlesque and vau- deville can picture the sight that will meet their eyes at the Park Theatre this week Thursday, Friday and Sat urday, when MT. John G. Jermon's Big Gaiety Girls shows come for a joyful stay of one week. It has al ways been the aim of this stellar at traction to present to the theatre going public that which is always the best, last season it had the distinc- ton of being second to none in the burlesque field, yet with all this they claim that they have this season eclipsed all previous efforts and gath cred within their ranks a coterie of performers never before attained in any one company. Among them may be mentioned is Gus Fay, whose reputation, as a German comedian has never been doubted, he is ably assisted by Billy, Armstrong and that charming Clara Racket, the Trio be- ing responsible for the success of the comedy. that is injected throughout the burlesque while the supporting company is the pick from the best. A Chorus of thirty male and female voices with an oliol of novelties by the best vaudeville artists make this an attraction we'll worth seeing.

Wishing Not Unwise.
But wishing is not always unwtse;
and a persistent wish, sent forth into
space by a direct, well poised mind,
is sure of an answer in time A direct,
well-poised mind does not make sense
less wishes OF unreasonable wishes
Therefore it obtains what IL asks
Tor. Wllle the intense CRY OF an IN =
balanced and illogical mind would
bring no response
There is a wish which IS sensible
and wise for each human being TO
make. Sit down in a quiet room and
take deep, all pervading breaths for
a few moments
Then think OF the wonderful creative
power which made the universe The
stars which move so majestically upon
their orbits; the tides OF the ocean,
which rise and fan with such regu-
larity: the insects with their marvel
Gus constructive knowledge, like the
ants and bees; and all the miracles 70
be found in the floral world, showing
the omnipOtence Of the intelligence
which shaped the worlds
Then realize that you are the high
est expression OF that intelligence;
and that you have not begun to use
the powers you possess
Your wish should be as follows.
Help me, o Glorious Creator, TO de-
veIop to the utmost my Divine SELF;
help me 10 use all my mental and spir-
itual powers 10 the greatest and high
est degree. Keep me conscious Of my
ability 10 achieve whatever I wish.
