Not only Chicago, but the vast section which contributes its quota of amusement goers to tho Western metropolis, Will lie interested in the announcements that tell of the coming of II. It. Irving, the eldest son and namesake of England's greatest actor, to that city. H. 13. lrvings season at the Illinois theatre In Chicago will begin on Monday evening, the 10th Instant, and will continue for two weeks, during which time both Wednesday and Saturday matinees will be given?' The deep affection with which Sir Henry Irving was regarded by all American theatre-goers for his lofty ideals regarding stage art, was never more in1 evidence than it was when the great English actor visited this section of the United States. As a matter of fact, a large proportion of his audiences were made up of those from the towns and cities which surround Chicago and which are tributary to it on account of tho admirable railroad facilities which exist. Partly on that account, and largely because ul the great renown of Sir Henry Irving and of the familiarity with his work and plays, the management of the Chicago theatre, in which he always played, adopted a mail order system by which patrons from nearby and even distant points were able to make seat reservations In a most satisfactory way. The coming of Mr. Irving to Chicago lias caused them to revive tills convenience and to state that mall orders received will receive prompt attention and seats selected as near the desired location ns possible. A remittance .is required to accompany the order and a self-addressed stamped envelope is to be enclosed for reply. Many of the remarkable characteristics of Sir Henry Irving live again in Ms talented son. who has served a long and honorable dramatic career in England before taking up the work laid down by his illustrious sire. The physical likeness between father and son has been the subject of many comments and the criticisms of American reviewers have shown tnat the likeness did not cease with mere physical resemblance but that the spark of genius which Illuminated the career of Sir Henry Irving lives again in his eldest son. The repertoire for the tirst week of Mr. lrving's engagement at the Illinois theatre will consist of five different plays and invovles three complete changes. Mr. Irving will make his debut on Monday night In a double bill embodying two roles, the playing of which is peculiarly associated with Ills own personality and creative ability. Tho first of these is a play called "Maurleette." This rlay was written by a French author, Andre Plcard, and was translated and ndipted for the English stage by Mr. Irving. As lautran. Mr. Irving gives a remarkably finished performance of comedy that is held to be the more remarkable in view of the serious nature of most of his other im personations. Miss Balrd piays the title role in the piece, and is altogether charming In her Idea of the character of Maurleette." Maurleette" will be preceded by "Markheim" which is a thrilling and fascinating play, of only twenty minutes duration made from the uncanny but enthralling story from the pen of Robert Louts Stevenson. "Markheim" is ordained by the fates to commit crime as long as he shall live and In the play he murders the keeper of an old curiosity shop on Christmas morning. On Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday nights and at the Wednesday matinee Mr. Irving will appear in one of the plays which contributed largely to his father's enduring fame, and which was probably the most popular play in Sir Henry lrving's repertoire. This is "The Lyons Mail." the famous drama by Charles Reade In which Mr. Irving appears la two characters, Lsurius,

the good and innocent merchant of Paris, who is suspected, arrested and tried for the brutal crimes of one Dubosc. owing to a remarkable physical resemblance between the two men. I'.efore "The Lyons Mail" is played Miss lialrd appears alone in a one-act play entitled "King Rene's Daughter." in which she essays the role of a blind Princess. Tills play was arranged for the etaare by Sir Henry Irving. On Wednesday and Friday nights and at the Saturday matinee Mr. Irving will appear in another play identified with his father's career, "King Charles I." In tliis Historic drama he will assume the role of England's ill-fated ruler, while Miss Batrd will play the part of Queen Henrietta Maria, and Mr. Tyars, one of the best known of Sir Henry's old support, will play the role of Cromwell. The engagement promises to be one of the most notable in the history of the theatre.

There is a great lack of practicability anout the instruction given to young girls at most modern schools. Some of the girls from these schools may suit the tastes of officials, but the majority of them are shunned by marrying men, for the reasons given above. Rikugo Zasshi. On Second Thoughts.

Suppose your wife was to get angry with you and throw anything at you; or your mother-in-law might attempt to use force in dealing with you, or " The young man etopped him. "Ah, that reminds me," he said: "I'll not get married." Tha Cator.

To Send Flowers by Mail. i Take a long potato and boro a hole ! through it lengthwise for a holder, and shave the outside down with a sharp j knife until it can be easily handled, j When ready to send the flowers, place j around this a piece of wet sheet cot-!

ton. Over this wrap a sheet of tinfoil, carefully covering every part of the holder. The moisture cannot penetrate the paper and will be retained for a long time. Suburban Life. Screen Will Filter Air. Many people cannot sleep with the window3 open at night in damp weather. A screen which will admit pure air and yet keep out the dampness can easily be made. Take thin Angora flannel and fasten to a screen frame. Place this in the window at night when the sash is raised. In the morning the inside of the screen will be found dry, while tho outside is wet, the air having filtered through. Modern Treasure Ships. The famed treasure snips of the Indif-s, in the days when pirates swooped down on heavy vessels lumbering homeward with gold and silver, beside less precious freight, were never worth as much as tho bullion occasionally carried across the Atlantic, as a part of the express business of ocean liners. Within a few weeks one steamer landed over ?10, 000,00;' at New Yoit;. No buccaneers of the Spanish main ever had such a prize to chase. Increase in Scotland's Wealth. The income tax returns show that Scotland during the last ten years has grown wealthy in business more rap idly than England, the rates of in crease being 50 and 41 per cent. The greatest increase in any county wa? in Renfrew, due to Glasgow and Clyde influences, 109 per cent. In all Great Britain 25 persons were taxed on incomes of over $250,000 a year. Beer to Kill Absinthe. Who would believe it? France this year holds the record for the consumption of beer. It is estimated that by the end of the year four milliards of bocks will have been drunk. The consumption of beer has increased more than 40 per cent In five years. The consumption of absinthe, however, shows a decline. A blessing on beer ii in the long run it triumphs over murderous absinthe! Le Matin. Nutting In Old England. In olden times it was the custom in England to give one school holiday every autumn for the children to go nutting. An old manuscript speaks of this, and says the young Etonians were obliged to earn their holiday by writing verses on the fruitfivlness of autumn and tho bitter cold of winter, and after they had done this and gath ered the nuts they were expected to bring them home aa a gift to the different masters.
