have taken thefsame attitude as San Fran clsco in favor of keeping bituminous coal on the free list but the country at large hast made no demand for free coal The contention of the Democrats that the

Supreme Court WASHINGTON January Jl A writ of Certiorari was aked for In the Supremo CiTurt tiJday tgainst the Circuit Court of Appeals for the ninth circuit In the case of the Bank of British Cclumbla and Walter Young against Ptrcy Moore adihinistrator of th estate of Frances Moore a San Francisco case Sirs Moore in 1891 Josned 60000 to the Aiocre Smith Lurcher Company receiving as Stcurlty 5525 shares of stock In tho Sanger Lumber Company A fnw thousand shares were delivered to th Bank of British Columbia to grive the bank the right tn vtte the stock Trouble grew out of an assessment The Circuit Court directed that the stock should be delivered to Mrs Moore itpon the payment of the assessment The Circuit Court of Appesls mcdlrtd this decision by ordering the bank to deliver Mrs Mo3fes stock without requiring her to pay the assessment These assessments amounted to about 10PiOO It Is to recover that amount that he bank now asks for a wilt of certiorari TALKED OF THE CASE OF COLONEL IRISH Mrs Lahgtry has not lost in the sixteen years since we saw hefi her personal attraction An opera glass fixed on her may possibly show sprne traces of the years but the face ii still handsome the head has yet a beautiful poise and altogether Airs Langtry is not In any material personal way less Interesting than before One cannot Call her matronly yet The natural graces of the society belle give her the old distinction and she Is very much more at her ease in her acting than she used to be She ho longer heeds to ask consideration for her acting on account of being a stage beauty There has been no tremendous deveU opment Ui her but she is now a most agreeable and clever actress and In this play she does very chafmihg comedy with some entirely effective serious work In speaking of her It seems necessary to first to allude to her personal appearance since she has always been one of the stage picturesi but she lias brought with her a play which is the first we har had from England in a long time in which there is a healthy bright vein of amusing wit with excellent characterization and an original and Ingenious corppli cation Mr Deering and Mrs Deeringhave been divorced but Mrs Deering has worn mourning for him for a year He becomes engaged to a rich girl of high intellectual ideas rnot as bad as woman suffrage but just enough She comes to ask Mrs Deering as to the habits and character of her former husband and is told all sorts of nice things about him She makes up her mind that the wife is still in love with the husband and he with her and she frankly and sensibly breaks oft her engagement Mrs Deering becomes engaged to another man who is rich but Mr Deering tells him all sorts of faults the wife has and puts up a Job that he shall pretend to be ruined Tp his surprise Mrs Deering sticks to her pew fiance loyally and it comes Out that the whole affair was a Joke which makes her very angry However she does love peering Deer Ing loves her and they come together at the end The only thing that is not genial about it is the rather rude way in which she treats the other Tnah in the last act He has not deserved that Around these are two or three admirably drawn and rilghly entertain Ing freak figures of London society The old dowager is one of the best bits of character we have had in such plays and Lord Granpier is equally Clever and both are capitally acted by Katherine Stewart and Stephen French Mr French keeps a rather risky but very amusing flirtation scene with Mrs Deering within the bounds of comedy acting Mrs Langtry her self holds the center of the play charmingly The love she still has for Deering is never maudlin and never forgotten In the light vein as Ir the vein of true feeling she is quite eon vincing and her vivacity is Just enough The play is written all through in a kind of airy spirit arid she carries that out with ease and naturalness The last act is one which Is Intended to Introduce a new sensation It is hardly necessary The play does not need It but it hag Its effect of arousing curiosity It Is at Leos a dressmaker and Mrs Langtry has come to try on a dress She removes the one she wears behind a screen and is caught there by the entrance of the man she is engaged to Ht will not go She finds some light material winds it around her and comes out The saleslady unwinds it and pops the new gown over her head be fore anybody can see and that is all there is to it It is cleverly done and makes a buzz in the house which it Is of course Intended to do A manly likable chap is Frederick Truesdells Captain Deering and clever work Is done by Ina Goldsmith as Susannah Verner the strong minded woman Harlod Mead as Jimmy Foster Leila Repton as the sister in law and Helen Arnory as Mrs Dicky Fowler Indeed all the lesssr Characters aYe weir taken Percy Fendall has writ ten many very witty lines which all told last night Mrs Langtry may do a new play by Sydney Grundy next week

witty dialpgue and funny stage business that continued throughout the three acts It equaled niany of the New York productions The plot hinges on the get rich quick schemes of a handsome woman who with a partner and a Supposed grandsongrandson has opened beauty parlors for the treatment of both men and women The Complications that arise among the par ttriis give all the principals a chance to shine and permit the introduction Of several specialties Helen Russell the new leading woman appeared as the beauty doctor and looked the part She is a statesqiie brunette with a more than ordinary soprano voice She reaches high notes with little effort and In her singing of Strauss waltz song and Coming Through the Rye she showed a pure sweet tone The part had little acting to do John Peachey the new leading man also won Instant favor with his singing He has a clear sympathetic baritone voice and while In acting he is not as doughty as Blake was he will become popular Barney Bernard was missed Allan Curtis not being equal to the role of the partner of the beauty doctor which ottered numerous chances for side play Kolb and Dill were in their ele ment and furnish no end of amusement as the secretary and president of the pretzel trust Their stage business was very funny Probably the most amusing bit was when the two appeared on the stage after sleeping in the fat and antlfat rooms of the parlor Kolb came out wearing the inflated pad while Dill appeared without his accustomed paunch and looking at his feet remarked that it was the first time he had seen them in years He Immediately began to kick Kolb as the latter had kicked him In every play Georgia ORamey sacri flced her personal appearance by ap pearlng as an awkward and ugly country girl but made a distinct hit Ben Dillon
