Mademoiselle Berthe Roy, and Herr Ludwlg Schwab, accompanist.- The regular box office sale will open tomorrow, Monday morning, at the Heilig Theater, for both concerts. Few artists have created a greater sen sation in the musical world than Jan Kubelik. the famous violinist, who is now on a tour of 125 concerts, under the man agement of Daniel Frohman, and will play here. Kubelik is best described by saying that when his ambition made of him the world's greatest violinist, nature'' sur rendered claim to a poet, whose works would in all probability have brought him greater fame, and a permanent place in the hearts of ail nations. Of medium height and slender build, his handsome olive face surrounded by lus trous hair, rivaling the sheen of the raven's wing, Kubelik's honest and kindly brown eyes shine with a wealth of greet ing and affection for his fellow men that soon puts his vis-a-vis in a state of per fect equipoise and tranquility. He is at all times kindly and earnest, his well balanced disposition making him perfect ly at ease, be the person he greets a prince or a peasant. His greatest charm is in his large brown eyes which lighten and sparkle with each new thought that surges through his 'soul, that gives his fingers power not only to make the -violin talk so as to be understodd by" his poor est listeners, but sing with the feeling and Intense joy of the poet. His manner has only enough, of simple dignity in it to mark the gentle breeding of his fatherland, but an active and ready appreciation of humor, even laboring under the disadvantage of a harsh tongue, with which he is not wholly fa miliar, makes him the genial gentleman the world recognizes so well in the title, "Bohemian." 1.

"MOMENT Man t1Te Hour THE HIT OF THE YEAR By George Broadhurot LIONEL ADAMS AND Rl'BV BRIDGES IN "THE MAN OF THE HOUR," "T HE MAN OF THE HOUR," George Broadhurst'a new play, which has already been pre vented in New York City at the Savoy Theater for nine months, will be seen, here at the Heilig Theater for a week, beginning January 32. ' "The Man of the Hour" is reported to be a timely play, full of dramatic inci dents, with plenty of comedy, and telling a story of human interest. It deals with one of the most burning topics of the day. The "grafting" of the political ."machine" in many of the great cities of this country is the central theme of the story, the particular delineation being the passage through the Pity Coun cil of the town where the action of the play takes place of a bill giving a per petual franchise to a street railway. The Mayor's signature U all that is necessary to make the bill a fact, and the "machine" has elected to the office, after a hard fight: a rich young man who they thought could be easily "handled." He proves honest, however, and although all, kinds of pressure is brought to bear, steadfastly refuses to make the proposed measure a law. The love interest in "The Man of the Hour" is that of the young man for the niece of the financier who is responsible for the bill. She has told her lover that in order to win her hand he must prove worthy, but it is at the risk of jeopardiz ing her fortune' and losing her as well that the young man keeps up the fight of Ills life against the "bosses." -: Mr. Broadhurst is said to have utilized in the making of his play many Incidents which in the past few months have come to public knowledge through1 the news papers of the country, and which, when put upon the stage, should have dramatic READS POLITICAL TREND New Jersey Astro. ojrer Sees Trouble In the Stars.

On election day, November 3, Mars will be casting his rays from a powerfully conflicting aspect to the same place, which may mean defeat. "The date selected by the Democrats, July T, is about as evil as it is possible to imagine, quite as much If not more so than June 16. In all probability the crafty and selfish Saturn, contending with pugnacious Mars, will bring about some attempt to harness conservatism and radicalism in a team that never could be made to pull together. "If I read the planets aright, the man elected to the Presidency next year will be unable to conduct his adminis tration - so as to win the approbation of the people. Not only will the weird and erratic -vibrations 'of Uranus and Neptune continue, but the subtle and crystallizing Saturn will shortly begin his transit of a portion of the Zodiac to which this country is peculiarly sen sitive, and which was severely irritated during the most distressing period of the Civil War, also during the panic of 1893, the time of the San Francisco earthquake and at other critical periods."
