"The Prince of Pil s'ii," which 'will nmv to the Illinois toivight, is one- of Mr Savage's latest offerings. It ran throiifrh nineteen weeks, w hich were phenomenally sue ceisfiil, in I So ton, and enjoyed ten vxek-.-i of unprecedented prosperity in Chicago. Thii (1ik";igo engagement would rot hsrve been brought to a close for many weeks t; come had wot "the (Wtle Sciiare Grand Opera eoanipany been bonked to open for two months' run at the Stiulebaker. In the new piece it is declared that Mr. lavage has found tihe miost generous opportunity for the exploitation, of his pet theory, the lavis.lv e rn.be 113 sh uu n;t of whatever stage ottering to which he u ttaches Iu:s name. The lo-cats-on of the piece, at nature's most favored rtisori oi the shores of the blue Mediterranean, at the rea son of the fete of flowers would seem to lie desigml especially to ive full sway to the seene painted and cos tume desig-ner, and the opportunity Iras 4een grtaisied by Mr. Savage to put forh his bet effort.s, and. he has provided an cuvircinmint for the "Prinee" that surpaMses any thing ' of tho kbiil ever witnessed in America. Th-L authors !f "The Prince of Pil- sen, Irank Pixley anl (iustav Luders, are already well kni own t . theatre- froers. a.- all f tlie:r pieces have been successful wlu'rever played.

One if the most 'ixley con commendable things that I and Lu.h'Ts toave !.:ne in the struction of the new play was to sup ply a perfectly nit" and tangible plot through wivth to weave t'he many in gcTtuous situai'.Tons uniJ tHUng climax its for which the opera- is noted. The story is as follows: Hans Wagner, an American brewer traveling abroad. kinds in X:ce during the prig-iess of the flower festival. On the (lav of his irrival the people, who are engrossed lit the test; vi ties of trie occasion, are expecting the prince of Pilsen. to h'Siirrvr them witi his r-resen.ee. Wag ner w'th hiis danghiter flips from the train and is mistaken for the prince. He is a sample minded German, and accepts the demi.ais'tration of wel come as a test iuifinial of Iris greatness as a brewer of Pilsner beer. Present ly the real prince of Pifsen arrives, but no oik pays any attention t; him. He is at a loss 1o account for this treatment until he learnt- that an im postor is using his name. Peing of a phih'.!Jph,ical turn cf miiml he decides to keep his identity a secret, ii order to see what the iji-jxistor will do. He soon leiiniij that Wagner is. only a harmless blunderer wh lias, an ex ceedingly pretty daughter. So the prince dies the uatural thing- falls in love with the daughter, asks her to marry J:.:m and is aectpted. The plot is not lust sight cf dliiriing any tin.e of the action of the piece a rather un usual thing for iTwlern' inuisiea1 com edies. Mr. Savage secured t the best fa tent when he select id the ea-t for "The Pi ince of Pilsent." The lead ing feminine rifle is pftjyed' by Miss I)rot!iy M-rton.

W. L. CLARK LAYS BABE CONDITIONS IN PEORIA In these days of exposure of muni cipal uiuleanliness it has remained for William Lloyd Clark, of Milan, to dip into the submerged element in Peoria and lay bare to a horrified world facts the, most revolting of all. They are to be dished up in the nest issue or Our True Friend, published at Milan., and in anticipation of the expose ihe author has issued a circu lar in which he has the following to say: "There will be a thorough exposure of the gambling- dens, where promi mnt business men exchange money over the green cloth. The infamous Lelaml hotel. and other immoral boarding houses exposed. There will be maps and charts showing location of disorderly houses which receive police protection. Stories told by some of the street walkers; how they contribute to the jxilice for the pur pose of plying" their profession. Tlie vile theatres and the variety shows excised. Weast's and Jacobs' places exiosed. Scenes' of debauchery w hich rival the slums of Chicago. Immoral saloons and whisky drug stores lo cated and exposed. Licenced cabmen and employed henchmen of the house of shan.e. The city government in league with gamblers, saloonkeepers and prostitutes. Vile negro dens which run for 'revenue only' under the present administration. -Aristocratic haunts of shame, how they are run, with histories of some of the girls. What the editor of Our True Friend saw on the street-- of Peoria after the hours of midnight."

The various -teps in the manufacture of a first class bseball are briefly as ioLlovvs: It is firsit a solid lxill of Para rub ber ju.st an inch through. The ball is placed in a machine by a lxy tender and iw automatically wound with a stixmg , pure woolen yam. ITie wind ing is done with an evenness that no hunuan finger could; equal, and the thick, blue mixed wol forms a per itvnj uiiiiorin covering" tor uie core. Tlie hiyeir is made just an inch thick. AVhen the right amount of yarn hes been wound on it, the machine stops automatically, the ball now two inches thick, as removed and an bther core set. The partly finished balls are next dipped; that is they are dipped into a tran.-parent fluid called' "planter eom pm ition," which is really a kind of cement. This fluid is very adhesive, and when it 'liters the wind covering there is n soVdificatmn that prevents the ball from ever being ' kniocked o-ut of ihape. So cirtain is this, in fact, that the coin Kin y guarantees to re place all balls that are hi injured. The LsmIIs are nexi. wound again h:s time with a certain thickness of hree-ply white yarn. This is covered v-'Uh a three-ply blue until it hius reached the required size of nin- inch es in. circutiiifereiice. All o' these winding rocesses have bcem aii:t;:uiuit ic, anrl the balls apjear vf exactly tlie same size and weight. Hut no chances are taken. i;n l each is wefirhed several times during- the fine winding, so tha.t accuracy may be assured. After being dipped in the cement ag-a,;n, the ball is- ready f r covering. The covers are alum-itaiMied horse- hide, which is as. soft and fine as the be.--.f white kid. For the best ball only IS covers could be got out of one hide. as only the choicest parts can be used. Treating the Hide Tlie hide is first knee-staked; that is, it is stretched backward and for ward over a knee-hide stake by a strong boy, till it will stretch no liKirc Tlie cuitl.iiig is done by machin ery.

The 1ms 11 is still rough on t he seamis It i.s rolled by hand, and a few hours later by machinery, whence it emer ges the coni'pltite article, ready for paieking and selling1. The market fr base balls is entirely in Mii.- country,""' ,.i the'cxciiHioin of a small recent demand that has de veloped in Cuba and the Philippines. During the IJoxer uprising in China, quite a number of balls were exported there for the use of the American f ro;p.-i.
