KIG 1)01)0' AND PRIMROSE AD DOCK STA I) ER AT ENGLISH'S. Vaudeville at the Grand Opera House Two Melodramus ut the Purk Variety at the Empire. Comic opera and minstrelsy will f.ll this week, with the exception of Thursday night, at English's Opera IIou3e. "King Dodo," an extravagant story set to music, will be presented there to-morrow, Tuesday and Wednesday night and Wednesday afternoon. Tho book was written by Frank Pixley and the music by Gustav Luders, two Chlcagoans, who were the authors of "Tho Burgomaster." The company is of Henry W. Savage's organization. Mr. Savage is at tho head of the Castle-square Opera Company, which has made grand opera in English a profitable venture In the la3t several years. "King Dodo" was first shown at the Studebaker Theater, in Chicago, early last summer, and its run there closed a few weeks ago. At tiie head of the company are Gertrude Quinlan, Elsa Ryan, Cherldah Simpson, Raymond Hitchcock, Miro Deiamotta and Arthur Wooley. Mr. Hitchcock has not played In this city since he was here as a member of th "Three Little Lambs" company with Marie Cahlll. Mr. Dclamotta and Miss Quinlan have been members of the various Castle-squnre opera companies for several years. Miss Ryan i3 an Indianapolis girl and acted here two years ago as Madge in "In Old Kentucky." The company includes a large chorus and orchestra. Mr. Pixley's book tellä of the adventures of the King of Dodoland and some of his subjects. Thejvlng was old, but ho desired his young ward, the Princess Angela, for his wife. She loves Piola. a soldier of fortune. The young man told the King that in his travels he had come upon a spring of youth in the land of Spoopju. Thereupon the King and his court journeyed to Spoopju and met the Queen of the country, an elderly woman, who yearned for a husband. Dodo agreed to give up his dream cf youth and marry the Queen, but in an unhappy moment he drank a glass of water from the magic spring and became a boy of ten years. Of course, he was impossible as a husband then. But luck turned his way again and he tumbled into the spring, which, having a reactionary quality, made him again a person of advanced age, and the Queen accepted him. He conferred the kingship of Dodo land on Piola and gave him his niece Angela. x x a Primrose and Dockstader's minstrels will come to English's for three performances cn Friday and Saturday. Theatergoers are familiar with the fun-making abilities of the two leaders cf the company. The entertainment will be the best of its class. Tho usual elaborate "first part." with its ballad lingers and comedians and bill of vaudeville acts will form the show. XXX Phil Sheridan's show, which he calls "The City Sports," will have tho week at the Empire. It consists of two skits and a string of vaudeville turns. The skits are called "An Irishman's Visit to Paris" and "Troubles .in a Buffalo Hotel." Tho olio is composed of the Speck brothers, the Unique Four, Sheridan and Lee, the Blodgett sisters, soubrette.-, Craig and Ardell, musicians. Grovini and Murray, John J. Welch and the Keeley brothers, bag punchers. XXX Two melodramas, neither of them new to the Park Theater, will divide this week at that playhouse. The principal actors in both are not obscure. The first is "An American Gentleman," played by a company at the head of which are William Bonelli and Roe Stahl. The latter has had experience in several stock companies. Elmer Grand n, who had the name part in the dramatization of Hopkinson Smith's novel. "Caleb West." is the star in "The Night Before Christmas," which will be presented during the latter half of the week at the Park. The story is of the country, and in one scene a judge passes sentence of death on his son. xxx The novelty of the vaudeville at the Grand Opera House this week will be Stuart, a female impersonator. In years gone by the man impersonating a woman on the stage was familiur. Mark Smith's vegue in "1492," in which he played Queen Isabella, will be remembered. Since men the trick has been used in t'arce-eomedies and by a few vaudeville actors. Of the latter Stuart is most prominent. His voice is of soprano quality and he wears handsome gowns. His associates will be the Faust family of seven acrobats, Cushman. ilolcomb and Davis, singing comedians; Rialta. in poses and electrical dances; Burton and Brooks, story-tellers: Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Crane in a sketch. "The Happy Pair;" Hacker and Lester, trick wheelmen, and the blograph. Donna to Sound Their 'II.' New York Commercial Advertiser. The English middle classes have had so much fun poked at him for dropping the letter "h" and for carrying It fwrward and placing It where it should not be, possibly thus to obey the laws of compensation, that they have b come sensitive on tho subject and many aspirate the "h" with double force whui the letter should be aspirated. Instead of saying "before him." as Americans do, with a slight aspiration, they will say "before him," taking a full and deep breath when they utter the Second word, shooting it out as if it came from a Döpsun. Dropping the "h" i not new foe ordinary English folk; it is a new trick to aspirate it with double the force required. Hatl .o Money. New York Times. A great many wealthy men never carry any money In their pockets except "car fare." because they have thrir check books to liquidate any incidental expenditures. It if related that quite recently, in Washington. Senator Hanna was requested to get off the car because he was in the predicament of being penniless at the moment, when a felluw-passengi r recognized him and paid the fare. The othr day. Prank Gould had to borrow a "fare" from a friend because he did not find in his pocket the requisite nickel, on a Broadway car.

MODERN FABIES

The Modern Fable of the Keen Reformer Who Got Bright Out Among' the Voters-? j? j? j? j? jZ? Copyri;ht. 1901, by Robert Howard Ru-srll.

Once upon a time a Member of the Graduating Class advanced his left Foot and talked for 15 Minutes about "The College Man in Politics." Some 4(0 other Seniors in various freshwater Institutions had sprung the same scholarly Discourse, including Gestures. But this Young Man thought that he was breaking new Ground. He had discovered the Formula for a Poultice that would diaw all Wickedness out of the Body Politic He had a large snow-white, Utopian Scheme for turning the Rascals Out and filing all the Offices with pale Chaps who wore Specs and talked grammatically. To the Collegian, seated among his Sofa Pillows and twanging the Banjo in the Gloaming, this whole Business of reforming the Universe is as simple as A, B, C. The first thing to do is to Educate the Masses. After that, Induce Business Men to attend Primaries and take an interest in Ward Politics. Then fill all the Minor Offices with learned Gentlemen of unimpeachable Character, and there you are! The Graduate delivered a good hard Roast on the respectable Stay-at-IIomes. He struck straight from the Shoulder at the Prominent Citizen who Is so busy with his Income that he refuses to get out and give his Time and Money to the glorious Work of Municipal Reform. When he rgturned Home he told his DELIVERING 1113 ESSAY. Father all about his Plans for redeeming the City and State. "Forget it!" said his Tarent. "Chuck It! Take something for it." "I have fitted myself for a Career," said the Young Man. "I am away up on Tariff Reform. . The Law of Supply and Demand is simply Nuts for me. I can repeat the Constitution with my eyes shut, and can quote John Stuart Mill by the Yard. It Is a Shame to smother these gilt-edge Talents in a Manufacturing Business. The University Man owes a certain Debt to Society." "You bet he does!" said the Old Gentleman, warmly. "And if he doesn't mind his P's and Q's Society will throw him down and choke him and take it away from him." "You don't seem to bank very much on Unselfish Patriotism," said the Son. "You are the Type of Commercial Cynic that I walloped so hard in my Oration. Personally you wouldn't blow a Safe or climb a Porch, and yet you refuse to Buckle on the Armor and attack the Forces of Evil. If you don't want to fight the Battle of the People, at least you might stand on the Side-Lines and root for Honest Government. "I rooted for one or two Campaigns," replied the Father, "and when I wanted to get a Termit for a Switch-Track to the Factory, the Forces of Evil looked up my Record and immediately gave me the Boots, as it were. Fortunately I was acquainted with an Agent of Darkness named Fatty Dinkle. ""TU FATHER "YOU MEET MR. DINKLE." Mr. Dinkle's Head rises straight from his Collar. I regret to say that he is the Managing Editor of a Thirst Parlor, with a Crap Game upstairs find a Dope Laboratory in the Basement. Mr. Dinkle squared me with the Gang and I got my Permit. In a Spirit of Gratitude. I slipped him $r,oo for his Campaign Fund. Since then we have been Cool Friends. He sees that our Vested Interests do not get the Short End of it at the City Hall. All that he asks in return is a little Remembrance along about Election Time, and then an X opposite his Name on the Official Eallot. I would have preferred to get the Permit through the agency of our Sunday School Superintend-

lb ent. I regret to say, however, that he has no Drag, so I had to get next to someone who could deliver the Good3. Perhaps you with your wide knowledge of Political Economy and the Principles of GovernDINKLE-' WELCOME TO THE CLUB." ment, can tell me of some other Scheme that I might have used. As you know, I am a Pillar of the Church and I do not use Tobacco in any Fcrm, therefore it revolts me to be friendly with the Rum-Seller, but we had to have the Switch-Track or shut up Shop. To be sure, wc might have stood out. We might have taken a Tip from the College Oration and refused to compromise with the Practical Politician.?. If we had done so, I have a large Oil Painting of our Competitors chipping in freely to protect us in our Rights." "When the Masses are Educated, such men as Fatty Dinkle will not sit In the Council Chamber," said the Student. "I thought of that at the time," said the Old Gentleman, "and I decided that we would have to wait 200 Years to get that Permit via the Education of the Masses. We were in a hurrj' to get the Plant working and decided that we could not wait that long. The average Hustler of to-day cannot Educate the Masses with one Hand and meet Bills with the Other. But if you want to get into Polities and scour it up and deodorize it, I can promise you a grand Opening. I will introduce you to Fatty and he will take you out and show you Plenty that John Stuart Mill never mentioned In any of his Books." The Graduate said he was keen to study IN TUB LEGISLATURE. the Problems at close range, so he took a letter of Introduction to Old Dinkle. The Boss of the Ward greeted him warmly. "Welcome to the Club," he said, and then he called up the House. "We are always glad to lind a Money Guy who wantaj to get into this Game. With that Front of yours you can ketch the Swell Mugs and Iii line up the Dickeys. You tout me to the Willie Boys and I'll keep you strong in the Booze Joints. Weil rib up a lead-pipe Combination and play both Ends against the Middle. Your Father can work the Church Vote and furnish tho Coin. As I understand it, you want to get into the Legislature. I'll keep you in the Legislature, Young Fellow, as long as your Precinct goes for me. Now put your Jewelry in the Safe and Hide your Money hi-your Shoe and Iii take you out to meet the People that can do you some Good. But before we start, I want to give you one friendly Steel.

Your Motto from this Minute is, 4Xo Gas, Xo Water, No rolice.' And if you want to get in right, make it Strong." That Fall the brilliant Son of the wellknown Manufacturer was elected to the Legislature by a Spontaneous Uprising of the Common People. Moral: It requires a Post-Graduate Course to round out a Man's Training. The Professor's Story. New York Evening Sun. At a recent dinner given in honor of a ct!tain man of letters Mr. Hamilton 1 iglit Mabie, who was one of the speakers of the evening, s;ii, in the course of his remarks, that a pessimist might be detintd as a person who lias the choice between two evils and selects both. A Columbia student, who happened to attend the dinner, sat. the next morning, under Prof. Biander Matthews, who dt.ivered a characteiislie lecture, with statistics, on everything in general. During the lecture Mr. Matthews remarked, with the air of a man conscious of tossing off an oriirfnal jewel of fpiM'ainmutic wisdom, "Vou know, gentlemen, we may define a pessimist as a man who has the choice between two evils And takes both." The student, who was certain that Mr. Matthews had not been present the evening before, looked the professor up at the conclusion of the lecture, saying: "Your definition of a p-ssimist struck me forcibly, but I heard Mr. Mabie give the same one last niht." 'is that so? ' replied Mr. Matthews suavely. "He forestalled me by half a day, then. We both heard it from Mark Twain two evenings ago." Strawy bcrrle the Yt'nr Hound. New York Evening Sun. Just one month earlier than ever before are strawberries coning into the market. And a man doesn't noen to be gifted with more than every-day prophetic vision to allow that within a decade they will be with us from year's end to year's end. Though it goes without saying that when that state of things comes to pass the price of them will be sky-high in some months. Even as in these glorious October days the equivalent in money for a quart of them is more than a day's wage for a. good many of our laborers of both sexes. If you desire relief from rheumatism, nervous prostration, general debility or any chronic disease, call at Dr. Caldwell's Medical Institute, corner Capitol avenue and Ohio street, and see the best equipped Institution cf its kind in the country for treating disease.

Fair eeemed the fruit whose glist'nir.g cheekt wer hung Amid the autumn leaves, and so, well done, It netmed, was work of wind, and rain, and pun. The gusty breeze, in sudden sport, down flung The ruddy sphere and russet yet unstung By frost; unfit for feed or earner, prone They lay; their heart the gnawing worm, unknown. Had sapped and broke the strength whereby they clung. II. A man seemed s-int to thirsting souls of men. As comes the balmy dew. on arid plains. So fair, to well veneered with grace, he reigns In myriad hearts a little space; and then Temptation doth reveal his heart a den Wherein he hides his passion not restrains. III. A tranquil pool, by Its surrounding hills Protected well, into the tranquil sky Seems mirroring security a lie Supreme; for all its face dull death distills. No bird Is winging there; no Insect thrills Above its smiling, dancing ripples. Why Such falsehood is must e'er be mystery A symbol dark for him to read who wills. A woman throbs with high exultance; grand Her eyes, and beautiful her manner, long And sweet the promise melting from her tongue; Eut death lurks In false heart and faithless hand. Joy died for him who, trusting did demand Her love, and found that she to semblance clung. Dunlapsville, Ind. Albert Husted. A Cry to the Ilrother. Thought alone is all I hear.

Listen, brother, I would tell you; Not your thought nor any mortal's Penetrates beyond the portals Of the mysteries of things; Yours 1 thought I fear with my thought; Worketh lies; what you or I've wrought In ouifelves, I fight, I fear; Work and fear are false!
