THE entanglements and swift over taking of the youngish wife who deceives her aged, and doting hus-. band has gibbered In the courtroom, from the pulpits, from dally newspa pers, even the comic supplement has not overlooked It. and the tragic and comic stage have given us their various versions. But It has remained for Sir Arthur Wing Plnero to combine the potentialities of the topic Into one of the most laughable and really plausible farces imaginable. In hla play. 'Ths Magistrate." in which Edward Terry and his company of English players ap pealed last evening at the Hclllg. Mr. Terry has had great success with this farce In England. In fact, it is one of several written for him by the great dramatist. The play was well received it evening, sa. much on account of the acting as on lis Intrinsic merits. The treatment of the world-old subject Is new and thoroughly enjoyed. A widow, who marries a second hus band, gives her age as six years younger than ahe la and discovers, un happily too late, that the other dates and data must be proportionately ar ranged. Her son, then, a big strapping youth, of 10. must needs appear to be but 14. with a music teacher and an Eton collar. Step-papa, however, la led first Into gambling, then Into more In discreet affairs by the lamb-chlld. and finally goes one evening for a high time to a private room in a hotel, where the youthful son of a deceiving motiier entertains friends. As It hap pens the one man who knows the date of the boy's christening goes to these apartments from his club, where he is followed by the frantic wife and ber sister, anxious to warn him against chattering;. When everybody Is dis tributed about the apartment, each bid ing from some one else, the situation la at a climax, which is later well worked out. ' e It Is all very, very funny and the lines are tremendously keen, the dia logue sparkling throughout and the acting quite above rip roach. Situations that are wholly original and mirth provoking are handled with fine dis crimination, and above all else hovers the atmospjhere of reality. Mr. Terry la a pastmaster as a far ceur. Numberless details of "business" make hla performance perfect In every particular. He actually succeeds In making the unsuspicious, old doting husband, who Is dignity incarnate, turn as a living character Into a dust-covered, disheveled magistrate, utterly lacking In any semblance of decorum but trying painfully to be awe-ins plr lng. His artistry Is. certainly delight ful and the audience laughed at him and with him In keenest enjoyment. An Individual success Is scored by Rob ert Pateman as Colonel Lajkyns. whose knowledge of the youngster's baptismal date forms the beginning of things. Mr. Pateman carries off many honors for the dramatic quality of his role. Perclval Madgemlck Is the son. and a very youthful rake and fascinating young man he makes of the part. The role of the wife Is given to Ada Barton, reminiscent of Mrs. Leslie Carter In coloring and movement, and a very capable actress, too. Other roles are well cast-' Chrhalla IMtr1bulee Folder.

(Continued from First P.) ure of amicable negotiations. Next, the Novoe Vremya makes the unusual intimation that there Is discord In the government over the measures to be taken against China. The third aituation Is revealed today In disquieting dispatches from the army of occupation on the Chinese frontier. These advices describe a disturbance among the soldiers over the poor qual ity of the food provided for them: An outbresk wss prevented only by the tact of the commanding general, who ordered the Governor-General of Russian-Turkestan to take prompt meas ures to remdve the causes of Russian dissatisfaction, and adequately to or ganize supplies for the expedition. ' It Is said here today that the situa tion created by China's quibbling has rsused a realization that the Ruaso Chinese relations are less satisfactory than had been thought. China's suspi cion of Russia's good faith and the re sentment of supposed aggression are blamed. The sole course left open. to SL. Pe tersburg was a serious military action which would not shrink from perma nent measures in III Province. Military circles, the opinion of which had great weight with Emperor Nicholas In reaching a decision, considered the oc cupation of Northern Manchuria along line of demarcation from Kwang Cheng Tre to Klrtn a possibility. A correction of the frontier of Tar- bagatal In Mongolia Is also held a pos sibility. The military party frankly favors the utilization of the crisis to strengthen the Russian garrisons In the Far East and to correct the frontier strategically at Chinese expense. This argues that Russo-Chlnese relations are so strained that nothing can be gained from China amicably for many years. The Cabinet, however, has decided to restrict the military action to the barest necessity. The Novoe Vremya in an editorial rails for the appointment of a respon- siDle Minister to replace Foreign Min ister Sazanoff. who Is Incapacitated at a critical period, and indicates that the government Is not agreed. The Novoe vremya prints a dispatch from .Mukden, which states that 110 tons of gunpowder, 42 boxes of cavalry rifles and TO boxes of Infantry rifles, destined for Chinese garrisons In North ern Manchuria, have reached Mukdsn from Pekln. Forty-one vanloads of rifles ar.d anmunltlon, the dispatch adds, have been sent from Kwang Cheng Tie to Klrin. Telegrams -from Harbin state that the Russian press In the Far East has for weeks been talking of preparations for war and declaring that the rail roads and roads are being adapted to the transportation of troops. The staff of the Chinese Railway and the em ployes generally have been replaced by apanese and armed soldiers. Hupe fmmm . ;. 'C 'rtJ - v. .

WASHIXGTOX IS ' SURPRISED Pew Consulates and Tea-Trading Xo Excuse for TTltlmatnm. WASHINGTON, March 14. OffickUs of the State Department and the Chinese legation here are puzzled to find a rea son for the sudden delivery of an ulti matum by the Russian government to China, in connection with the negotia tions regarding Russian trade relations in 111 province. Several weeks ago, after Russia had announced . tta purpose to have a mili tary demonstration in that province, what appeared to be a satisfactory ar rangement of the difficulty was reached. The department and the legation have no knowledge of any recent developments to interfere with a peaceful adjustment by diplomatic means and ere at a loss to conjecture why there should be a' resort to ultimatum over such Issues as the establishment of a few consulates or the right of foreign merchants to trade in tea In the Chinese province.

March 14. The Demo crats in the Iowa Legislature switched today from Claude R. Porter, for whom they have been voting since the session Give attention to all the claims made for the dif ferent pianos you will see when you are thinking of buy ing. . . Every concern you visit is entitled to a fair hearing on the merits of the instruments it offers. . But before you buy demand proof of the worth of the piano you decide to favor. Inquire regarding its repu tation, ask to see its interior construction, test it thor oughly for tone, and satisfy yourself regarding its dur ability. Look as carefully into its value as you would into the title of a piece of property, or the security back of a bond, for you want a permanent instrument. The statements made for one piano will be much the same as those you hear for others. But you should re member that there is as much real difference in pianos as in any other kind ot merchandise. Therefore avoid hap hazard buying. Be sure that you are getting an instru ment which will fully meet your expectations. Call at our salesrooms and let us explain why any of our pianos is an equivalent of the price asked for it and buy here only if your judgment convinces you that our claims are justified by the instrument itself. "We give you a choice from various grades, each repre senting the best in its class, and at prices which are iden tically the same as pianos of the same makes and qualities would cost you if purchased at the retail departments of their makers, whether in New York, Boston or Chicago. These prices insure the safety of dealing with our house, while our terms are so reasonable that no inconvenience is felt in meeting payments.
