THE THEATER The New Phillies. .Vaudeville in Richmond has received a decided impetus in the last few "weeks, caused, perhaps, by the improved quality of the shows offered.

FDL0F given ample opportunities to display her unusual talents. She possesses & delightful and winning personality, portraying the character with a delicate sweetness that grows in charm as the play progresses. Her work is sympathetic at all times, but there is injected just enough of coyness and humor to give a contrast to the more is rare and at times almost vivacious. She is everything that can be desired; pretty, winsome and thoroughly natural. Miss Longfellow, as her name leads one-to believe, is a grand-niece of the immortal bard, Henry Wadsforth Longfellow, who gave to American posterity "Hiawatha." "The Lion and the Mouse." After witnessing "The Lion and the Mouse,' which Henry B. Harris will offer at the Gennett theater, matinee and night, March 6th, one is willing to believe that it possesses every essential of a perfectly constructed play. In dramatic strength it is unequalled by anything seen on the stage for a generation ; its story is fascinatingly interesting and intensly human; the characters are men and women prominent in 'the social, financial and political world of today sthd they are made to act just like the types we are familiar with. Mr. Charles Klein has written other plays which have brought him very prominently before the public, but he has never created one that has earned the deep gratitude all those feel who witness "The Lion and the Mouse." " The Land of Nod." The fabric used to make the cos tumes for the eight animated poppies j in "The Land of Nod" was especially woven in order to secure the coloring necessary to produce the natural shades of the petals of the "poppy."

The best "and latest musical success, "A Girl at the Helm," direct from its six months' run at the La Salle theater, Chicago, where it has continued with unabated interest, second to none of its predecessors in "The Time, the Place and the Girl," "The Honeymoon Trail" and "A Stubborn Cinderella," now at Mr. Singer's new theater, the Princess, will be seen here shortly.

INSURGENTS ARE VERY STRONG IN THE LOWER HOUSE However They Will Be Forced To Share the Limelight With the Rebels in the Upper Branch. FIGHT FOR REFORM IN SENATE A FIERCE ONE It Has Been Many Years Since There Have Been So Many Vacancies on the Important Committees. By Sheldon S. Cline. Washington, Feb. 20. The "insurgents" of the house of representatives will have to share the limelight with the 'insurgents" of the United States senate. The fight for reform in the upper body promises to be as strenuous as in the lower one. It will begin immediately upon the convening of the extra session next month and continue until the new congress is fully organized. Many Vacancies. It has been many years since there have been vacant so many important committee places in the senate as will have to be filled in organizing that body for the work of the 61st congress. For instance there will be three vacancies on the appropriations committee, caused by the death of Senator Allison and the retirement of Senator Hemenway of Indiana, republuican, and Senator Teller of Colorado, democrat. The chairmanship of the committee, which was held by Senator Allison will fall to Senator Hale of Maine. Among aspirants for the two republican vacancies are Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island. Kean of New Jersey, Dolliver of Iowa and Nelson of Minnesota. Democratic possibilities for Mr. Teller's place are Simons of North Carolina and McLaurin of Mississippi. There is no chance of any of the young "insurgents" getting on the appropriations committee, the most they can hope for being to get some of the desirable places to be vacated by the older senators who will be promoted. Finance Committee. The most important committee of the next congress in the senate will be that on finance, which will handle the tariff bill for the upper house. Here also there are vacancies made by death and retirement. Mr. Allison was a member of this committe and retiring members are Hansbrough of North Dakota and Piatt of New York, republicans, and Teller of Colorado, democrat. Senator Hopkins of Illinois also is a member of this committee and sould he fall of re-election there wil be a fifth vacancy. Republican senators regarded as possibilities are Lodge of Massachusetts. Carter of Montana. McCumber of North Dakota. Clapp of Minnesota, and Beveridge of Indiana. The only democrat prominently mentioned for Senator Teller's place is Clay of Georgia. There has been some talk of Root of New York for Piatt's place, and he probably could have the appointment should it be in line with his desires. It is considered certain that Mr. Root, having served both as secretary of war and secrtary of state, will have places on the military affairs and foreign relations committees. Root to Cause Fight. Around Mr. Root's assignment to important committees is going to hinge a good deal of the fight the "Insurgent" are planning to make. While no one is disposed to deny Mr. Root's title to desirable committee places, in view of his distinguished service in the cabinet and universally recognized ability, there are other

from

one new senators, who cannot see why their services before coming to the senate should not also be recognized. For instance, LaFollette of Wisconsin and Cummins of Iowa both b?.d been governors of their states and had national reputations before becoming senators. It is inconsistent, declare their friends, that distinguished service in the federal government should be recognized and distinguished service in the states ignored. Senator Cummins is yet in ignorance as to what his committee assignments will eventually be, but unless the revolt against the senate organization succeeds he cannot expect to secure any important committee places. Senator Lafollette is chairman of the select committee on investigation of the Potomac river front at Washington, which makes him about as influential in legislation as the colored messenger who sits at his committee room door. He also holds membership on the committees on the census, civil service and retrenchment, immigration, Indian affairs and pen sions, not one of which is regarded as ; an important committee. LaFollette a Victim. That LaFollette has been the victim of prejudice and injustice in commit tee assignments cannot be denied. Take the case of Senator Hemenway of Indiana, who was elected senator the same month of the same year LaFollette was elected and who took his seat only a few months earlier. Hemenway is a member of appropriations and military affairs, two of the most important committees of the senate, his other committee places , being on the University of the United States, of which he is chairman, claims, Indian depredations and railroads. Crane of Massachusetts who became a senator only a year ahead of LaFollette is a member of two important committees, interstate commerce and postoffices and post .roads, besides being chairman of the committee on Canadian relations, and member of the committees on commerce, industrial expositions and to -examine the several branches of the civil service. Commerce, which "'" here ranked among Crane's minor assignments, is more important than any committee of which LaFollette is a member, with the possible exception of pensions. The. explanation lies in the fact that Hemenway and Crane are persona grata with the ruling senate powers, while LaFollette is not. The latter had the bad judgment, if not the bad taste, to criticise his senate colleagues in platform speeches, and he is being punished for it. Herein lies the debatable point of the whole matter. Have the "elder statesmen" a right to allow their personal likes and dislikes to control in so important a matter as the organization of the United States Senate? The Secret of Long Life. A French scientist has discovered one secret of long life. His method deals with the blood. But long ago millions of Americans had proved Electric Bitters prolongs life and makes it-worth living. It purifies, enriches and vitalizes the blood, rebuilds wasted nerve cells, imparts life and tone to the entire system. Its a godsend to weak, sick and debilitated people. "Kidney trouble had blighted my life for months," 'writes W. M. Sherman, of Cushing, Me., "but Electric Bitters cured me, entirely." Only 50c at A. G. Luken & Co. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.
