but a single observation to make.
1t isn't fair, not quite cquare to the
playgoers, that on the week after
Christmas, when no one in all the
world but nephews, nieces, grand
children and shop keepers, have any
money, that the managers of the To-
cal theaters should boldly serve
up for inspection. all in one hunk as
it were, Julia Sanderson, Donald
Brian, Joseph Cawthorn and Will

Especially after the opera and
Morosco premiere of LAST week.
Washington has met all these stars
before, and for that very reason is anX-
ious to make their acauaiptance again.

Of THE Hawk' is his first modern role
for several seasons. and Is said to pro-
vide him with most adequate weapon
for displaying to the public his genius
at its most mature stage.
When the late Richard Mansfield died
a vertable army stepped forward to
receive his mantle. 1t has been so wide
ly distributed that there Is proba bly,
little Of it left. Perhaps for this very
reason then Mr.. Faveraham is making
himself, by his recent work. a mantle
all of his very own. which IN its turn
will, perhaps, be devastated by the
eager ones. so as to neCessitate tho
making of new one by one of the gen

Letters From w. A. Gilmore Says He Will he Here as
 Delegate.

That the Republican territorial con vention will be held here in Seward in March is apparently regarded as a settled fact by w, A. Gilmore who ran as the republican candidate for congress in the last election but one In a letter to member of the Gate way staff, which was received in the last mail, Mir. Gilmore states posi- lively that he will be in Seward in that month as a delegate and the -only deduction possible is that he knows by communication with other leading Republicans that this town has been chosen as the convention city already.
