Few plays of recent years have been as successful as "Under Southern Skies" which will be seen in our city for the first time at the Gennett theatre tonight. This play is described as "the most original, diverting and unhaekneyed play of Southern life ever written." The story of "Under Southern Skies" is an absorbing one and it is told with all the fascination that has made the same author's play of "Way Down East" so successful. Many even prefer "Under Southern SkiesV for its its spirit of gayety, its romance and beauty are more alluring than the homelier attributes of "Way Down East." The story of "Under Southern Skies" is woven about. an aristocratic family of the south and their high born friends. These characters are all tj'pes of southern people and display their chivalry their hotheadedness, and their spirit of lavish, unstudied hospitality. The darkey servants furnish their own characteristic comedy, "Uncle Joshaway," "Aunt Doshy" and a modern Topsy called "Anner 'Lizer," forming a trio who create a great deal of amusement. One of the great features of the play, which has contributed largely to its success, is a Halloween celebration in which the young people play many amusing games, and wind up with a "pumpkin dance." The company includes such well known people as Sara Lewis, Ida Mulle, Cecelia Clay, Laura Oakman, Edna Larkin, Bertha North, Burr Caruth, Murrv- Woods, Willard MAVE A FEW MORE & SPRING OPENS.

Perry, Cyril Raymond, Charles Aveling, L. B. Hammond and many others. If you enjoy a great big, long, loud laugh, don't fail to be present at the Gennett theater next Thursday evening, when Edward Blondell's big spectacular production, "Through the Centre of the Earth," will be the attraction. The offering is a combination of extravaganza, musical comedy and gorgeous stage setting's that is exceedingly pleasant to the ear and eye. Comedy abounds in its makeup, and the laughter is almost continuous. An interesting plot is carried through the entire piece, and the comedy is free from the familiar slap stick-and is embellished with ! many scenic and electrical novelties. The fanciful story of the play forms j the framework for many amusing ' situations. Prof. Portley, a seient- J ist, discovers a mummy 4,000 years old, which he brings back to life with some wonderful fluid of his own invention. The mummy gives the professor a talisman and tells him of the hidden treasures of the inner world, and instructs him how to reach the center of the earth. The second act shows the professor, Reuben and Gussie in their travels at the North Pole, where they are beset by huge polar bears and many laughable incidents occur in their efforts to continuetheir travels. Finally they arrive at the forbidden passage and succeed in gaining entrance to the inner world, where by a series of ludicrous" circumstances Reuben is made king, and rules supreme.

A JAPANESE DIPi-OMAT.
Slilnieltiro Knrino, the Mikado's Minister to Russia. Shinichiro Kurino, Japanese minister to the Russian court, whose position during the past four months has been one of extreme delicacy, is one of the ablest and most experienced diplomats in the service of the mikado. Mr. Kurino comes of one of the old two sword Samurai families of southern Japan, a class which has furnished many of the most advanced men of the empire. In 1874, when Frinee Kuroda, in whose service the minister's father had been prominent, sent a number of Japanese youths to America to be edu cated according to western ideas, Mr. S i- --5. V." SHXNICHIEO KUBINO. Japanese minister to Russia. Kurino was among them. Although liberally tutored at home, he took the law course at Harvard and on his return to Japan entered the foreign office, with which he has since been connected. He was selected for Important missions in Korea in 1SS2 and 1884 and again in 1894. He was also intrusted with important missions to Europe, those to Fortugal in 1893 and to France with reference to treaties being highly successful. At the outbreak of the Chi-no-Japanese war he came to this country as minister. He is extremely simple in his life and arrived at Washington without retinue or escort and almost unheralded. From the United States he was transferred to Italy and later to France. He was appointed minister to Russia in the fall of 1901. Minister Kurino is of pleasing address and speaks English and French with fluency. In stature he is rather short, and his build is compact, though not portly. He was born during the year Commodore Perry visited Japan. 1S53. FAVORITE OF THE CZAR. Count Lanisilorff, Rnsslnti Minister of Foreijtn Affairs. Count Vladimir Lamsdorff, Russian minister of foreign affairs, on whose diplomatic skill the czar relies to keep peace with Japan, has been connected with his department for more than thirty-five years and is looked upon as an adept in the art of diplomacy. His present task has been most difficult owing to Russia's determination to firmly maintain her position and at the same time avoid war. When Count Lamsdorff was appointed to his present post in 1900, there was some surprise, as he was very little known outside Russia. He was, however, very well known to the czar as one of the most efficient men in the foreign office, being at that time first 'u 5 COUNT IiAMSDOKFF. assistant and familiar with the secrets of Russia's foreign diplomacy. He has never represented Russia abroad, hia whole life having been spent in St. Petersburg, where he successively served three emperors. Count Lamsdorff entered the foreign office in 18GG and rose rapidly. in the service. After a time he was attached to the emperor's cabinet, then appointed secretary to the foreign office, councilor, assistant minister and finally, on the death of Count Muravieff, became minister. He possesses the unbounded confidence of the emperor. Count L,amsdorffs family is of German origin and belongs to the Westphalian "Uradel" that is to say, to those houses of the aristocracy whose members have ranked as nobles since the beginning of history and who, while always recognized by the crown as nobles, can show no patents of original creation, since their nobility antedates the origin of the monarcbs.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Why tlie TortnUe Won. Did -you ever hear the true story of th race between the hare and the tortoise? Old Brother 'Terrapin told it to me one day as I lay on my back in the grass by the pond. "Never heard the real truth of that victory of mine, did 3011?" lie squeaked as he crawled up to me. "No, never," said I. "How was it?" "Well," he laughed, "you see, they always supposed that I won that race by keeping on plodding along at my usual gait, while Old Man Rabbit frisked around and fooled and wasted his time 'showing off before the spectators. "But it was nothing of the sort. I-et me tell , you at the start that all the plodding in the world without a little thought and common sense will never win anything. "You see, I had a little bone to pick with that yaller dog at Bill Sykes 'cause , one day when I was asleep he turned me over on my back, and I didn't get my footing for two days and was nearly starved, to say nothing of the worry brought on the old lady and the three children. So when Mr. Rabbit and I started on that race that you have read of I knew at the start I had no chance to win without some little game. Just then along comes Bill Sykes' yaller dog. '"MorninT says he. "Nice day for the race.' ' " 'Yes,' says I, 'and if you want to see the start sit right down where you are, and you'll see a great show.' "So down he sat on his yaller tail and opened his yaller jaws and let his red tongue hang out. 'One, two, three; go!' says the starter. And just then I saw my chance and grabbed Mr. Dog's tail between my jaws. He gave one yell of terror and surprise and set off through the woods toward the goal at lightning speed, pulling me through the air after him. My, but we did fly! And when we got near the goal I let go and walked the rest. Mr. Dog was so scared he ran on home. Served him right for turning me over. But I won the race. I tell you, brains count." Saying which he ambled off into the woods. St. LouIs Post-Dispatch. "Thinking lp" Kamti. This game requires nothing except pencils and paper, and it is one in which young and old can join. The first thing to do is to write a list of names down one side of a piece of paper, leaving a blank space opposite each. The names may be something like the following: Author, actor, general, river, statesman, color, town, painter, flower, fruit, etc. One of the players chooses a letter of the alplyibet, and every one must write a name beginning with this initial opposite each of the chosen words. If the letter were G, the list might commence as follows: Goldsmith, Garrick. Gordon, Guadalquivir, Gladstone, green, Godalming, gillyflower, greenage. It does not matter whether the celebrities are alive or dead. At the end of ten minutes one of the players reads the list aloud, and one mark- is allowed for each name which is common to more than one list and two marks for a name which only one person has thought of. The person who wins the game chooses the list of titles for the next and also the letter of the alphabet. If very little children are playing, it is best to choose things which are easy to think of. Localities. You who are in school, with all its lessons freshly in mind, will enjoy the game of localities. Let some one begin by saying the name of a city, country, state, river, ocean and so on, any locality that is likely to be prominently mentioned in your geographies. Suppose the first word is Philadelphia. The child next to her must at once say another word which commences with the last letter of the first word Atlantic ocean, for instance. The third child will naturally think of Niagara, which forces the fourth to say Asia or Antwerp or Ann Arbor. The game goes the rounds of the circle until all have guessed. The second time round the test may be doubled. Starting with Cambridge, for . instance, the second child will probably say Camden and Eton.' ; ' . . . Oijjeet Lesson on the Cat. The teacher in a grammar school was giving an object lesson on the cat. "Who can tell me to what family the cat belongs?" she inquired. Seven or eight of the larger children were questioned and could not tell, so she asked one of the smaller pupils. "Can you tell us, Bobbie?" she inquired of a small, serious little chap. "Y'es'm," piped up Bobbie; "the cat belongs to the family what owns it!" Bones. One day a little three-year-old boy was watching his mother sew whalebone in her dress. ' "What are they, mamma?" he asked. "Bones," she replied. "Whose?" continued the little fellow. "Mine," she answered. He watched her a minute in amazement and then asked solemnly, "How did you get 'em out?" Little Chronicle.

rOR THE HOUSEWIFE Iron Shirts With a "Dofk." Shirts cannOt be ironed properly vitb a common flatlron. It is -"better to purchase what is called a "duck." This l a small iron with a blunt point, the underside of which instead of being smooth is scored off in little diamonds, much the same as a rubber tennis shoe. The irons should b very clean. It is? better to rub them with sifted ashe or bath brick dust to remove any possible rust, taking care to clean the sides as well. Then wash and heat on a clean stove. Have a piece of cloth on the ironing board to try the iron on, as well as a cloth -with a small piece of wax to rub the iron occasionally and a bowl of water with a small piece of clean soft rag to wiie off the shirt. Iron the - neckband first, shaping it nicely to fit the neck; then iron the cuffs. Stretch and pull them out so that no shrunken lining cr stitching, will cause them to pucker. Tben, laying them on the board, smooth out with the damp cloth, after which begin to iron with a quick, steady stroke, bearing on with all tin; strength you nnssossi Do not rest the Iron on ih
shirt a minute or the starch will be apt to stick to it and make a1 streak. If this should happen, wash off with ' the clean cloth, and if it does not disappear scratch with a finger nail. Savory Cream Soups. Cream soups are by most authorities considered the best to serve for luncheons. Cream of oyster or cream of clam soup is always acceptable. They are prepared in the same manner. Steam twenty-five clams and as soon as they open remove them from the shells and strain them from the liquor. Chop the clams, pound them in a mortar and rub as much of them as possible through a puree sieve. Put three cupfuls of milk in a double Lrtfiler, cook two tablespoonfuls of butter and two tablespoonfuls of flour together, but do not let them brown; then add to the cooked butter and flour a little of the milk from the boiler to make a smooth paste. Put the paste into the milk in the double boiler and stir the mixture until it is a little thickened. When ready to serve! add two cupfuls of clam liquor and the pulp, which has passed through the sieve. Let it get hot, but do not - let. it boil or it will curdle. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. At the moment of serving add a cupful of cream and beat the whole Well with an egg beater. This recipe makes a quart and a half of soup. , A Metallic Clothespin. Is the ancient and honorable wooden clothespin of our forefathers to be relegated to the rear for a new article of commerce? While this question is agitating the world of housewives and A TIGHT GKIP. washerwomen it is well to direct our attention to the invention of a worthy citizen of the state of Utah. At first blush this clothespin suggests a wire puzzle such as we have worried our brains over repeatedly. It is constructed of two pieces of 'wire, which, being hinged at the center, 'catch the clothes firmly between the lower jaw and securely hold them in place on tha line while undergoing the drying process. Kitchen Conveniences. - A little iron contrivance that screws to the kitchen table pares, cores and slices an apple while a person with a knife could think about it. With a more clumsy looking machine peas are shelled and "looked over." A little bent and fluted instrument draws the butter from the lump into an individual shell shape in a twinkling. A5 handy dish of papier mache has a division in the middle through which is cut a clutch handle. This is to accompany the scrubber with soap, sand soap and other needfuls. A screwdriver holds the head of the screw wrhile it turns it to its place. For beating eggs, whipping cream and making mayonnaise dressing there Is no end to Inventions. A Bathroom Convenience, A sanitary toothbrush holder is among the new bathroom conveniences to be picked up for a trifle. It is of nickel and consists of two little shelves to be fastened to the wall, each shelf perforated with openings large enough to suspend the family toothbrushes through and far enough apart to prevent the bristles from touching. They are capacious enough for a dozen brushes. To Rememhcr When Paperlnpr.
