There are sisters and sisters. Broadly speaking, all femininity bears the sisterly relation te on another. It is usually in this comprehensive sense that "sister" acts In .the realm of makebelieve are named. .' It Is not unusual to find a prctty Irish girl and another of equal pulchritude from say, Moscow, doing a "sister" act in vaudeville. It is noteworthy therefore that the Klrksmlth sisters, who ope"n a brief engagement at the Orpheum today, ar real, dyed-in-the-wool, hope to die, honest and truly daughters of the same parents. vWhat is even more remarkable is the fact that their six, rather than two, usually making up a "sister" act. What is more, there are two more of the same
family in school In Kansas City, and if
their elder sisters are to be believed
manifest as much potential talent as do
damages for the loss of four fingers.
The accHunt happened when his left! the members of the act now in Ham
hand came In contact with the knives 1 mond.
on a "shaping machine," which, it is alleged, was not properly guarded.
Another singular fact Is that the
eight Voung women resemble one another not only physically, but In talent and 'ambition. Kach one is gifted' with
the spark of dramatic fire and musical
genius far above the ordinary.
As to the act it may be said that It
Is considered by showmen to be the only onf of similar nature now before the public. There are many "musical" acts, such as they are, and many "sister" acts, but in none is there the combination of beauty and talent manifested in the specialty of the six KJrksmlth sisters. Their act is the very epitome of refinement. This is exemplified by the fine taste with' which the sartorial embellishments have been chosen. While the gowns worn by the young women are rich and beautiful they are at the same time simple and not gaudy. The Kirksmiths will offer five or six numbers. Several othem are vocal.
well balanced and fitted for their parts. Tonight is ladies' free night and every lady accompanied by. an escort with a 30 cent ticket purchased before 6 o'clock, will be admitted free.

fall, which allows' them plenty of time before the snow melts and freezes to I
the sidewalks.

K7T RS. GEORGE VflOKERSHAM. VI wife of the attorney general of the United States, belong to the old Knickerbocker class of Albany, N. Y., and she is an exa'ted type of the grande dame of the New World.' Her father, Cornelius Wendell, was of- the old school of politics, an unflinching Democrat in a time when blood ran hot and expediency urged many to enroll under the bannerwhich stood iiefore the world for the undivided Union. He served his party faithfully and came to Washington first to reorganize the government printing establishment under President Johnson. With his family he remained for two years after Grant's inauguration, and he and bis wife were prominent members of official society; Mra. Wickersham and her sister, now the widow of Lieutenant Taylor. United States. Army, were intimates of Nellie Grant and her brothers, and they . caught a glimpse of the social life of the White House under , very pleasant circumstances. By a pleasant coincidence the young daughter of the attorney general. Miss Constance Wiekersbam. will see life In Washington under similar happy auspices. She is Just sixteen. There Is an elder daughter of the attorney general who was very popular in New York society, as Miss Gwendolyn Wickersham, and wti
two years ago married Albert Aiken, of New Voric. now a sugar plant el of C"ja. Mrs, Aiken will spend pari of thw' winter In Washington with he parents, making an additional attraction to this interesting family. There Is one son, Cornelius Wendell Wickersham. who recently graduated from Harvard. Mrs. WJckersham's mother, who resides with her daughter, Mrs. Taylor, in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. pays frequent visits to the Washington home. Mra Wendell. who is now quite a venerable woman, is a member 'of an Albany Knickerbocker famiiy, as famous in the social and patriotic annals of the state as the Wendells. She was born Harriet Hinckly, and the old Hinckley homestead on the high hills of the Hudson below Albany is well known to travelers on the day boat from New York. Like all women of such intellectual bend, Mrs. Wickersham Is perfectly conversant with ail the public questions of the day. Not even such complicated themes as New York politics, the laws of the corporations and the industrial issues are beyond her grasp. She Is, however, of the type furnished by th- wives of many of the most successful public men in America and England. She does not care ' to express her opinion about public Questions.. H- sphere Is the home and she reigns there as a queen
