Through the Fires of Sorrow,-? was presented at i Columbus hall last evening, under the auspices of the Children of Mary, to a large audience. Every member in the cast, which, by the way, consist ed of some of the most talented ama teur actresses In thig . borough, had thefr parts down m. fine form, and not a single hitch occurred . to mar the beauty of the play. Great credit is due to the good Sisters of Mercy, under whose careful direction and unceasing efforts the drama was presented. In I every scene the excellent taste dis- played In the arrangement of the set tings that the nuns alone are capable of producing, showed Itself In fine form and "brought forth exclamations . of great praise from the audience. The . .grand march and greeting song by six teen young ladies was nicely presented and the ease in which the difficult movements ty1 the march were gone thorugh with showed the careful train ing the young ladies had received from their instructors.

TTTTTVTTTTTTTTTTVt,T,TTTTTTTlTTTTTTTTTT' SAN TOY. Very pretty, very catchy and very interesting were the comments passed on the musical comedy of "San Toy" after the curtain had rung down last; night. Beautifully staged and well chorused it was for a certainty. The soloists too were in excellent voice and received more than the usual round of applause. The people handling, the va rious leading parts were well placed and earned whatever appreciation they received. The solos were catchy and musical and the comedy work was one of the principal features of the produc tion. The whole company . was ex cellently and tastefully costumed, the various pictures presented were more than appreciated. The musical selec tions were the best ever presented in this city and were gems of merit. The whole . mixture was most enjoyable, well balanced and well produced. MILDRED HOLLAND. Tfhls1 distinguished young actress, who has become one of the most pop ular stars that visit this fci'ty because of Iher brilliant emotional acting in "The Power Behind the Throne," will make a new bid for public favor this evening when she appears at Poll's in her second big suecessi, "The Lily and the Prince." The new play is from the pen of Carina Jordan, dealing with the. intrigues of , the sixteenth century under the regime of the, Bor gias. and has been even a more phe nomenal success than "The ' Power Behind the Throne.'.' ' The play af fords Miss Holland ; by. far the ;i best opportunity she lhas ever hadi for the display of her talents. I Sine Is charm ing 4n the . love passages, and the amount of dramatic power which she displays in " the third and , fourth acts is a surprise to even her., admirers. She is given much, better support, too, in 'The Lily and the Prince" than she ever had before. The new play is splendidly mounted, , as regards 'both scenery and costumes, and the production is in , every way notable. (Prices are 25, , 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50. JAMES J. CORBETT. It has 'become something of a fad to see James J. ) Corbett 1 at the Jacques, and . the tide of 'attendants is so . great - that the management would be glad to have a very much larger theater j: to , aecomanodate all who are anxious - to see this not ed boxer and hear him tell funny stories In his own , inimitable way. There has been some talk ainong the local Eagles about attending at. least one of the remaining performances in a body, as the members of the order did in New Haven a few, weeks ago, Corbett being one of the active members of the order. Everywhere he has played that the Eagles are organized he has received courtesies at their hands, though the general public interest in him has been so great that theatrical managements have-not' found it easy to provide separate accommodations for the Eagles. At the Jacques the rest of the bill is so splendid, and so filled with good things in a comedy way, that even without the presence of Corbett It would be more than an ordinary winner with , lovers of vaude WATERTOWN JOTTINGS David Cushman Completed Course of Study of Electric Wiring.

The reception that has been accorded this drama of London social life is espe Hniiv ,TlPflslniff to Charles Frohman, as it has started the second decade of association with Mr Drew in a most auspicious manner. . The role of the - scientist who Us restored to bis -nfrfa affection and love through jealousy is one that recalls the polished comedy roles in-wmcu Mr Drew won his earlier popularity as a star. It is the finest part that he has had since his memorable tri umph, "The Bauble Shop." Not only a icrcntvat fvumerlv and sua ve man ner required in this role, but also powerful dramatic moments mat can for'; strength and . subtlety of acting, nmi nil t 'wMflh must, be leavenel with naturalness and simplicity; ' Mr Drew. fully meets the requirements demanded and the result is a . finished and fcomiiitVte presentation.

Heine was born in Dusseldorf, Prussia, . Dec. 13, 1799, of Jewish parents. In order to pursue higher studies at the universities he embraced Chris tianity in 1825. He wrote much, principally verses and criticisms, and remains one of the most popular of German writers, although the last shears of his life were spent in France. After a lingering illness of fp ten years Heine died in Paris in 1856. Among the ; most popular of his poems are "THe Lorelei."

STANLEY HALL Of Clark University . UR DEVELOPMENT AS A NATION IN MANY INDUS TRIES HAS NEVER BEEN PARALLELED IN THE HIS TORY OF THE WORLD, BUT HAS NOT OUR RACE, AS SHOWN BY THE FIGURES, BEEN PUTTING INTO LIFE MORE THAN IT CAN AFFORD? , We must consider, with the figures of prosper . ity, what has been the concomitant result of the production of that highest of all products of earth, human off? spring. AS A BIOLOGIST, I KDTOW THAT THE BEST TEST OE NATIONS OR ANIMALS IS THEIR PRODUC TIVITY. HOW MANY OFFSPRING DO THEY PRODUCE? So it is quite time to inquire if our Puritan ancestors did not overdraw pn the stock of strength they , should have transmitted to others. The inhospitable , and difficult ' soil,' ' the ' scanty diet, ' the ex cessive work don't these explain the dying out of , the Yankee race? New England is the region of the abandoned farm, where families that three generations ago had eight, ten, twelve children, are now totally extinct. ' 1 What overdraws human ' energy? Overwork, for one thing. There is a strange rapjJort between the procreative powers and the brain. 'Every biologist knows that the whole human organism seems : to -be -constructed;.. with' ' reference'., especially tci .ythis function of passing on the sacred torch of life. . ;x r ' ' ' t K And the new morality , teaches that the s best test of any hu man institution, whether church, school or nation, is whether or not it educates the person up to the point where he can best per form the duties of parenthood in the highest sense of the term, THE PAPERS HAVE.
