A B AMUSEHENTS Shakespeare's nearest approach to the modern farce comedy was in “Comeay of Lirrors.” The addition of a topical song would put the piece not far behind the Hoyt school of drama. But the bard of Avon had not the manifold advantages of the modern playmaker, and he only did it once—two things that commend him 1o clemency. But, although in itself of little intrinsic valuo be- yond that accruing from the fact that it is the carliest of Shakespeare's dramatic ef- forts, the comedy n hands entirely capable can be made the vebicle for the ad- winistration of an allopathic dose of pure fun. 1tisa rollicking, improbabie sort of thing, carelessly put together, yet full of little plays on words, puns bad enough to be good and phrases with a double meaning, the implied subtlety concealed within the lurking sense of 1 finally when d and they start, ¥ the time has oberest mind, s Dromio’s ha the other Dromio tul “not one befor passed merrily, and there is no sense of op- pression left. * The interpolation of a scane av the end of the third act introduces a por- tmizht well have been left as originaliy—to the imagination.

In ail his Jines—-and the humor of his part depends on the reading of the lines Mr. Itobson brings to bear that inimitable drawl, that peculiarity of rising wnilection that have never yet oeen mastered com- pletely by another, and which have come to bo u part of the actor in the mind of tho public. And yet Mr. Giles Shino has faith- fully acquived these Robsonian features, so that were it not for the tacit challenge to the auditor's discornment, he might easily ussume_ the dual role, aud in the “single” scenes deceive the listoner As Antipholus of Syracuse, Mr. W, H.

THIRTY-EIGHT BREAKS NEEDED TO FINISH Both Men in Poor Form but the Student Evidently Had the Worst of the uck and Could Do but Little, Ciicaco, dan, 11.—The fourth night of the billlard tournameat brought Schaeffer and Slosson together for the second time, With thenehor nurse,barred,Slosson becomes onco more a figure in the billiard arena, his gen- eral game being strong enough to furnish an argunient with any living player. The at- tendance was light comparod with the im- mense erowd of 1ast night. Winning the bank, Slosson scored, and at once got position and by careful play kept- the balls farrly under control for fifty-fiv failing on u cross tablo single cushion. The leave was rather unpromising. In two shots, however, Schaeffer gathered the balls at the lower end, where he worked the corner prottily. At fiftty he lost position by too much force in a left-hand cushion draw, and stopped at ifty-two on a hard follow shot for position. Slosson let go with two in his second in- ning and Schaoffer, with a beautiful single- cushion stroke, gathered the balls at the head rail, and in threo shots had them inside theanchor block. He played them in and out with charming ease and only let go on a double-cushion bank for position. Slosson ot no oponing and Schaeffer, who was play- ing fast billiards, came back with a beuiti- tully played run 5f 103, in which everything possiblo in the game was in evidenco. Noth- ing of importance happened for several in- nings. Schaeffer Took the Lead. Slosson's ball began to roll erooked and he was forced to resort to pounding. With all his pounding Slosson was making the most billiards and gradually overhauled his oppo- nent. His run of forty-four in the seven- te for Schaeffer, who at ono time had a lead of 169, Schaeffer now started out for billiards and seemed likely to got a lot of them, but a miscuo stopped him at twenty-six. Again tho game dragged wearily for a time, neither player showing much more than amateur form. At the end of the twenty- first ianing the call was: Schacffor, 401; Slosson, 282, haoffer got them golug again in tho twenty-second, but at thirty-five another miscue floored him. Slosson, 1n his twenty- third did some careful work, using the cor- ners to botter advantage than atany pre- ious time in the game. At fifty-threo the balls lined and stopped nim. Score: Slosson, 348 Schaoffer, 435, Struggling for a Finlsh, There were five lean innings on each side, but in the twenty-eighth Schaeffer came out of the trance long -enough to click off sixty and turn upon his last string—5l5 to 365, But he did very littlo more for the next eight innings,” while Slosson crept along after him with runs of thirty-six and zlhh;n -seven in the thircy-fourth and thirty- fifeh, Schaeffer was badly tied up, and, though he had the balls well” in hand i the thirty- fifth, he got but eleven out of them and still d twelve to go. Slosson was in reaching distance now, but he fell aown in the thirty- cighth on a bump shot and Schaeffer ran eleven and game at half past 11.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 11.—Nothing has been heard yet from the governorof the state- ment sentout by the Duval Athletic club last night, and cousequently the feeling is general that the battle will not be interfered with. Manager Bowden offers to bet $1,000 that the governor will, within a week, throw down his hand aund declare he will have nothing more to do with the affair. The bet is not accepted. The Duval club has issued i card to the public pssuring those who wish to procure good seats in advance that unless the club brings to a successful issue the con- test every cent paid for tickets will be re- turned. Stake Money In Question. v, Louts, Jan, 11.— A special to_the Post- Dispatch from St. Augustine, Fla., says: There was a revort current today that Mitchell had expressed some doubt about the $20,000 stake money not having been put up as agreed. Billy Thompson was asked about the matter, ““There 18 no truth in it,” he replied. “We all know very well that the money is not to be deposited in the bank until ten days be- fove the fight, nuary 25, when tho certified cheek should be in the hands of the stae- holder, Richard K. Fox.,” “1 gave *Mitchell yesterday,” said Jim Hall, “the hardest day’s training that’ he has had since he came on the island.

When he began in the morniug ho weighed 175 pounds, and when I was through with him his weight was 168!, pounds.

Going to her room to call her, the landlady found the door open. Miss Stevenson was lying on _the floor dead with a bullet hole through her forehead Wilskow was on the bed, some six feet dis tant, and was shot twico through the heart. Between the two on the floor was a revolver, all five chambers of which were empty The first theory was thuta murder had been followed by a suicide, but after exam- iuation of the room and the wounds the po- lice said neither of the dead persons could have fired the fatal shots. The two additional shots from the revolver were fircd at the man, but missed. Although there were scveral persons in tho house all afternoon 1o one heard any shooting or unusual noise. he man who call for Miss Stevenson has disappeared and cannot be found. His name has been ascertained to bo H. G. Mason. Nothing is known of Wilskow, and but little of Miss Stevenson, The whole affair is shrouded in mystery, and much of a sensational nature is ex- pected in its disentanglement. R GIRL'S SAD PLIGHT.
