! A clever dramatisation of 'harlot te
t Bronte novel, "done Kvre,' will be
presented nt thu Med font Theater Wqd
nesdny, Iteceniber 30, The play tells
n story at once strong and pathetic. The
Interest never lags, the comedy scintil
lates, the situations hold and the cli-
; mnjtea thrill. The play i staged su
' perhly, there beiug nothing meliMlramat
Ic in the treatment of the play, either
iu the setting or the adaptation. It is
a comedy pnre and simple, with a theme
that will appeal to every woman's heart
nnd a virility that w'-ll leave Its impres

With the last nights of Mr. and Mrs.
Blessing at the Bijou the crowdr. have
steadily increased in nic. The best
advertisement of these people is from
those who hnve seen them perforin.

oh Inst night, was a howling success.
The audience appreciated the perfor
mance ns one of the very best type. The
playlet is a laugh erection from the
start. It will be reproduced tonight.
Mr. and Mrs. Blessing close their en
gagement nt the Bijou tomorrow night,
when they again change their bill. One
of the strongest productions yet put on
commences Thursday night. Josephine

it v.'uh with t'oasid'THble relief that
"In Wyoming" was rerciv.il. For the

ed it in the Medfonl Mmulity evening.
With u plot ijuite exciting lunmgli ni li
ning t hnuitf limit ami a goodly scatter
ing of comedy, the day is far aliovo
the ordinary run. And a crowded luuifo
paid tribute.
M iss Harriet 1 liuisiutire us J en n ie
Summers was charming. Her work was
splendid iu the first three acts, although
the fourth was a little heavy for her.
Nelson Lcavi'l us Hteve Cordon took
his part in un exceptionally brilliant
manner. A mix turn of evil und good,
ho handled a hard part well. His roll
ing of a cigarette, cowboy fashion, ob
tained for him u " hand ' ' from the

Hummers' heart and In; ml, who pluycri
well. Hut to name the good ones
would be to name them all.
" In "Wyoming" was really Worth

oyer his contemplated African trip asl
ue was wnen ne ursi conceiveu me men
of going there for lions and other big

fears of the climate to intimate friends
The heat of summer, the existence of
so many poisonous insects, the foulness
of the drinking waters, the inability to
secure fruits and fresh vegetables in
the wilds of his prospective hunting
tours all of which he hns road about
recently, tend to give him "cold feet."
"I wish 1 were ten years younger,"
ho aaid today to a caller. "Then I
would net eare. For a man to com but
the terrors of that country he should
be strong nnd his system resistant to
any sort of climatic attacks. 9 As a
matter of truth, I now feel like a two
yrar old. My health was never better,
irty muscles never stronger, but a man
of fifty is not one of forty."
" However," he concluded, "I nra go
ing to take the best cure of myself, and
if I shonld be attacked with the African
fevers I will take the shortest cut for
civill74Jtion," .

One day M. Edmund About called1
upon Orlidor. the meat "celebrated fenc
ing master of his day. "I am In n
quandary." said About. "I allowed -myself
yesterday the pleasure of A
Joke In bad taste, and a dul Is to be
the result. I know nothing whatever
about- fencing; and, as you can see 1
am fat. Will you give me a lesson, so
that I may not make myself too ridicu

About proved a iVery poor pupil. Ou
bis way out he saw a photograph of
Grlsler. "I suppose," he said, "I must
not ask you for one of these?" "With
ttie greatest pleasure," said tbe fencing
master. And. witb a chuckle, Orlsier
wrote across the photograpu,u"To M.
Bdmond About, tbe best pupil I have

seconds of A bout's adversary called
on the writer, saw the photograph on

friend at the hands of so redoubtable
a swordsman, arranged the affair with
