His sensibility to literate art, grece and force of his phrasing, has educational value and afford a_pabu- for the public that is not to be de- spised. It were well for any one to see “The Lion's Mouth,” wherein one may find a consclentious corrective for the banalities of the common drama. The au- thor has written with & poetic sense of verbal fitness and does not, even in his Itra romantic moments, become over-tur- nor lose the key of dignified dialogue. etimes a matter for wonder that in the many good passages of the play he s not fall from the standard of liter- ary excellence.

True, there is still t} ate emph: and, what is worse, studied gestures that flow from him as waves from the prow of a ferry-boat. My word for It, Mr. Warde, your gestures are 100 serpentine. I will allow that you have trained your- self in this phase of dramatic expression most_diligently, but, in the parlance of the pug, you are “overtrained.” Minnie Tittle Brune, who suppor! a girl 1 , gives ish impersonation of Marcella with & of force. 1 think she is an actress reckoned with within the sphere of er physical limitations. The company remarkable in fts avoldance of in- i pe a: itude all of the roles are acceptably med and some show distinct merit I would instance particularly Frank Hennig as Marco, who in the second act is entrusted with an opportunity to read well his good lines, a feat which he ac- complishes with much credit to himself. Charles Herman as Fra Angelo is a atent apostle of Warde, and, within the Ines of that actor's style, acts well. The atmosphere of romance 'i& fairly con- served without the ald of transitive emo- tion, and, from first to last, one does not take the trouble to be bored. PORTER GARNETT. Orpheum.

Hill is a newcomer, but it did not take the audience long to discover the fact that an artist of no mean ability was before them. Even before he came to the refrain of his first melection there was a com- forting and hearty demand for more, and the clear, true barytone notes answered the call cheerfully and many times The playlet the Royles offer, “The High- bail Family,” has been seen at the Orph: eum before. It is a farce with a “truly" plot. snugly and coherentlv written and in the hands of its author and interpreter can stand several repetitions.

Nearly five years ago Georgie Camp- bell, then a youth of 13 years (un- lucky 13 he says) was thrown under the cars from the steps of one of the local trains, on which he was riding. Before he could extricate himself from his perilous position the wheels of the cars had passed over and sev- ered both his legs at a point close be- low the kn He was taken to his home and the four or five physiclans who attended him held out no hope of saving his life.

The race- horse was left safe and sound by his keeper late last night and early this morn- ing when the man went to give the ani- mal its usual morning attention he found the lock on the barn door broken and the stall vacated. The horse had been stolen, but by whom no one seemed to be able to tell. The most serious fe; pearance of Goldbug lay in the fact that the animal was under attachment In a suft brought in Justice Quinn's court by recovery of $250 on a promissory note, and the lock on the stable door was placed there by Consta- ble Jack Willlamson, who will have to sell the racer next Friday to satisfy the Stimmel claim.

A boy had been engaged to ride the horse to Pleasanton to-night, and the animal was being sad- dled preparatory for the trip, when Sher- iff Rogers appeared on the scene.
