Whltham, New Iodise Company. Boys and girls should be grateful to the author of this delightful book, which will send them to their histories to refresh their memories of the days of good Queen Bess, when the great Admiral Hood was winning victories and bringing home Spanish treasure ships to swell the coffers of Hngland: when Raleigh was planting the colony of Virginia (and his first tobacco ropli; -when Irake and Howard and Fro-hisber were playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe. while every cape and headland on noiith rout of Knirland had its beacon re3jy to light at the first sight of the invincible" Armada, and horsemen were reajy to mount and ride to carry the news from epJ to enj or tne land.

-HOMESPrS RELIGION" By Elmer Ellsworth HlKlev. D. D. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell -Company.

In thl brief volume are five or six ser-if axons. Their themes are not original, but are quaintly and simply treated, and in each is homely counsel well ut and not fatiguing. "The Fifth Gospel" coming first, it will suffice to illustrate. This fifth gospel is the gospel according to every 'man being. All are writing, under com-i Pulsion.

"Whether we will we are known and read. The All-wise lias so stituted the mind and so organized tha social relations that we cannot resist the 1 exertion of Influence." Men who. do not Peruse the gospel of Matthew, Mark. I.uke or John turn aaiiy 10 inm oi mr neiga-bor. What manner of biographer am the essayist would bave one ask.

"My spirit." he exclaims to us. "has rebelled as my eyes have struggled with the small type in which some of our Bibles are printed. But your gospel is not in type so small as not to be clearly legible." 'UNTIL, THE EVENING" By Arthur Benson. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell A Oompcny.

The meditative essays of Arthur C. Benson, if a shade morbid, are often inspirations. Collected here are several, the titles of which betray their spiritual cast, namely, "Prayer." Mystery of Suffering," "The Faith of Christ," "The Mystery of 'AftAI T-koatW 1J.T.1 1 Eternal Will." and "Until the Evening." 1 11'- otii Haln lav oeas, -xne last paper ine rest, wnicn, being re- VTlt carrv im Pu01'catlons. we snail not separately dls 'sard euect. aa euaa eacn noios incentive a hiwmwves simple thought-may be said to be tne text.

In malady wh those this Is described a faded water-color some 0O 1J UieyJ sunset scene, banging on the landing in an old house the author frequents, and bear ing the legend Until the Evening." It lacks technical merit, but has poetic quality. A road intersects the foreground and dips over to a heath beyond. In this road Is a man's figure. The back is turned, a hand shades the eyes. The -wayfarer peers acrors the plain as objects lose their color In the receding light.

"There is a look of serene content about the man." Mr. Ben son muses, "how communicated I know not. He would seem to have far to go. and yet to be certainly drawing nearer to his home. The design appeared charged with grave meaning.

"The freshness and blithe mean ing of the morning were over, the hours of sturdy progress gone." Only the descent among the shadows remained, while cool airs blew from darkling thickets, laden with woodland fragrance. Ere the night fall the wanderer will open the familiar gate. Those that love him are waiting, listening for his footfalls. "Is it not possible." asks the essayist, (spiritually) "to attain this? And yet how often, like the hunted creature, some wanderer, dazed, stumbles down the darkened track. One should approach eternity, surely, bearing carefully the priceless gift of life, trusting that, recalled, he may pass on with quiet confidence to the gate.

"WHAT THEY DID WITH Krnojt Hamlin Abbott. New-York: Thomas Y. Crowell A Company. "What They Did With la a rather striking group of five-minute sermons on the chief scenes and actors in the Crucifixion of Christ. The author calls attention to the strange irony of the taunt.

"He saved others. Himself He cannot save," for "He alone was safe, and not even He could save those others wi hout their wills." In the first discourse. "The Iisclples Keating Themselves," he points out that while they rested and fell asleep In the garden of Gethsemane, they meant no wrong. They were not wicked, they were only weary. They failed their Master when most He needed their love and sympathy.

They were merely inefficient. He gues on to draw a parallel between their attitude and the attitude of the churches of to-day. "The spirit of the churches has on the whole been eager," he says, but how incapable the performance. Are wa reminded of the Roman hierarchy? That has the appearance of efficiency; tout is there real efficiency even thre? Here, for example, it is confronted with a great task. Men ha-ve found their way to new worlds of knowledge and they are bewlJOered and perplexed.

What dtws this church do? Is it efficient in interpreting; fairh in the light of new knowledge? No. the task is too hard. The sacrifice of the past is too painful. Like the Eleven, It shuts its ey.s and takes refuge in slumber. Do we turn to the other branches of the church? Here they are, for example, confronted with the slum, the overdriven worker, the swollen fortune.

What is the chrurch doing? "Moving up town." The distress of social wrongs I too much: it Is something to be Oed from." The other talks are on "Judas Hanging Himself." on "Peter Warning Himself." on "The Priests and Scribes Condemning Themselves," on "Pilate Washing Himself." on "Jesus Forgetting Himself." and oa "What They Did With Themselves." All are simple and straightforward, full of thoughts which strike one as fresh and worthy of consideration. "THE MASTER'S FRIENDSHIPS" By J. H. Miller. New York: Thomas Y.

Crowell Company. Very tastefully bound in white and gold, the little series of which it is one is "Worth While Series" including books on maw subjects and by many authors, among them Ruskin and Tolstoi, will make dainty gift-books. The present volume, whose author has long been widely popular, is a simple and practical discourse on friendship. Mr. Miller urges that the need of friendship Is the deepest need of the human heart and that we all.

even the best of us. fall far short of our duty in being a friend to those about us. often from Shyness or reserve, oftener from mere thoughtlessness. He holds up Jesus Christ as "the friendliest man that ever lived." the ideal of a true friend, a friend to the poor and sick and sorrowful, but also to the worldly prosperous, who are often most In need of real friendship. SPLINTER From North Pole Promised Caroline Tjocke in Beturn Por Her Bjble.

One person who is eagerly awaiting the return of Commander Peary and his ship, the Roosevelt. Is Miss Caroline Locke, of Girls Company- Miss Locke is promised a piece of the pole, a carved walrus tusk and a number of other Eskimo curios by Henry Xellson, one of the members of the Roosevelt crew, whose acquaintance she made In a peculiar manner. When Commander. Peary's ship, the Roosevelt, was about to set forth from New York on the long Journey in the direction of the north pole a line appeared in the newspapers to the effect that, though the men were going to be away from home for several years, and perhaps penned In the ice and confined to the ship for months at a time, they had nothing to read or to amuse themselves with during the long whiter days. This had no sooner appeared in the papers that the Roosevelt wa literally deluged with books, magazines, periodicals and pamphlets of every description, from The Life of Nick Carter" to the report of the Department of Agriculture for 1876, and every kind of game, from pigs-in-clover to the latest rules on bridge whist.

One of the many patriotic citizens to'con-tribute her little mite toward the amusement of the brave men who were to visit the frozen north was Miss Caroline Locke, one of the young ladles In the comedy, "Girls," which was at that time playing at Daly's New York. Among Miss Locke's contributions was a small bible, which chanced to have her name on the title page; underneath was written "New York City," with no other address. Miss Locke thought nothing further of her contribution until one day last winter she received a letter at the theater postmarked There was no other address on the envelope but "'Miss Caroline Locke. Y-orB; City," her exact address having been' ascertained by the clever postal clerks in New York. The letter was signed by Henry Nellson and said that he.

In reading the bible, had noticed Miss Locke's address on the title page and took the liberty to write and thank her fcr it and If she would send her address to him. when the Roosevelt returned, ne would be delighted if she would accept ioml souvenir of the arctic trip from him token of his appreciation. Neilsou then Jokingly added that he expected to re-tura with I piece of the pole and would give hea fragment of it. a. eU a.

a Piece ot carved walrus tusk that he had that day purchased from one of the natives. That is the reason, why there was a very excited young lady around the Lincoln "uar Theater In New York when it was announced that Peary had discovered the sole and was on the way home. If the decision of the present Cook-Peary controversy wa. left toMIs. Lock 1 Cook would not have a chance In the world.

SOUSA COMING John Philip Sousa and his band of Individual artists will be heard here in two concerts, matinees and evening, on October at Music Hall. Localities are fond of the "March King" and the arousing numbers always found in his programs and his admirers here may well appreciate Sousa's desire to Include this city in the few that are to be visited. Besides a program replete with many surprises and new numebrs Sousa will have three distinguished soloists for the first time here with his organisation In the Misses Frances and Grace Hoyt. vocalists, and Miss Florence Hardeman, violinist. "The Fairest of the Fair." Mr.

Sousa's latest composition, and which he will feature on his coming tour, is said to have won for this popular composer much complimentary praise to his already world-wide winnings. That "The March King" has not yet found the depths of his apparent limitless fount of spirited strains is further claimed to be amply shown In this soul-stirring march. A HIGH-PRICED SONG. Jess Dandy, who Is supporting Louise Gunning in "Marcelle," used to write.songs, which he published under his real name of Jess Danzig. One week he and a well-known coon-shouter were on the aane vaudeville bill.

Expecting to surprlsa the head-liner, he blushlngly told her that was the author of one of her greatest song hits. Instead of producing the expected result, however he was the one surprised when the lady promptly demanded $500 for advertising his song, and threatened to cut it out of her repertoire if the amount were not paid. When her modest demand was refused, the talented and business-like vocalist changed a word in the title and a couple of notes in the song and used It as her oisn. "GIBLS" COMUIG. The delightful comedy.

"Girls," which the late Clyde Fitch adapted so successfully from the German and which was one of the most successful offeringj here last season, will bo seen at the Lyric next Sunday, following "Marcelle.v The Shuberta are sending out" a good company the piece this year, and the cast next week will include several of the best-known players In the light comedy field. THE AUDITORIUM THEATER. Thomas Grimes and Company, accompanied by the famous Dunbar Sisters, will bead the bill at the Auditorium Theater, beginning Sunday matinee, in their latest comedy sketch. Crosse and Maye. singing and dancing act: the Three Juggling Millers, in their novelty act; Arthur Payne, playing legitimate and novelty Instruments; three of the latest motion pictures and two new beautiful Illustrated ballads complete the bill.

THE AMERICAN THEATER. The bill for the coming week at the American Theater, opening Monday, will be as follows: Defur and Estes. sketch; Rome and Mayo, singing and talking; the five Sedgewicks, novelty sketch; Kelso and Sidney, singing and dancing: Hall and Thaw, dramatic sketch; the great Santel, novelty act; Grade May, singing comedienne, and others. FOYER TALK. Lew Fields intends to forsake the musical comedy field for the legitimate drama.

He has had this in mind ever since he produced his burlesque on "The Music Master," and It Is stated that he has been reading a number of manuscripts of plays with heart interest. This season he will appear In one of his musical melanges, to be called "Old Dutch," and it is said that will be-the last for him. Dave Warneld. who has gone over to the legitimate, was formerly a member of the Weber-Fields comapny, and this has also lent encouragement to Fields to try and do likewise. It would be sn Interesting step, and those who have watched the comedian's work during the past few years will find reason to believe that he ought to "make good" in a step of this kind, if he strikes upon the proper vehicle.

"The Revellers." which Charles Richman wrote and reduced in New York last week. has already olosed. It was so universally roasted that It was hastily witnarawn. There have been a few other failures equally as prominent among the new productions, notably "The Florist Shop." "The Ringmaster." and one or two of the musical comedies. And there will be a few more before the season is much older.

It Is to be expected. Charles Hawtrey la going to give up the dual role of actor-manager and be simply actor, at least for, the present. In an announcement from London last week he said the difficulties of a London manager are becoming greater every day. especially those managers who cannot compete financially with the wealthier producers. Mr.

Hawtrey began his career at the Prince of Wales's Theater In London and had his first big success in his production of "The Private Secretary." which he had adapted from the German of Von Moser. He came to America first In "A Message Prom Mars" and "The Man froni Blankley's," both of which plays he had produced In London in 1819-1900. After a tour In vaudeville here in tcna-iand in 1900. making sev eral productions and reviving two or three of his old pieces. A tour wjwi ewe i.

-Unnv" and "Lucky Mies Dean" was a part of his experiences after his return. A new play by Gerhard Hauptmann, the noted German dramatist. Is to be produced at the Leasing Theater In Berlin during the coming winter. It will be called "The Rats," and Is said to be a tragic comedy of Berlin life. The celebrated author Is jiow at work on the piece, putting the finishing touches to it.

The Leasing Theater, where the play will be produced, is one of the foremost In Europe. All the great dramas of Suderman and Hauptmann were given their prenneres on Its stage, while Ibsen was made possible during the early days by the activities of Dr. Brahm. the dlreo-tor of the Lesslng Theater, in his behalf. Americans are not the only ones to make use of sensational happenings as play material Giovanni Verga, a noted Italian author, who is generally regarded as responsible for the play.

"Cavelleria Rusti-cana." upon which Mascagnl built his famous opera. Is writing a new play which has as Its background the earthquake In Messina. It Is called "The Deserter." The great catastrope Is really only the background to the piece. An old soldier and his youngest daughter are the only two sur- i f.mltv Th flnH nfun vivors Ol im wlth a family on the main land. The young daughter and tne nusoa.no ui fall In 'ove with one another and run away, leaving the wife to commit suicide.

Mary Mannering had a hard time securing the right kind of a play last season, trying some four or five without any great degree of success. For the coming season she has brought back a number of manuscripts from England, whither she went to spend her vacation. Among them is one by Comys Carr. Her first play, however, will most likely be "The Message." a four-act comedy by an American author. Sidney Drew has had a row with the Shuberta, the result of which Is that he has left the cast of "Billy." the comedy now playing at Daly's.

In which he was being featured. He is followed In the part by Edgar Atchison Ely, a young comedian last seen with Marie Cahlll. Minstrelsy, after this season, wlU. no longer claim Al Jolson, "the man from the West." He will be a feature of the Field's Review for next summer. Efforts were made to capture Jolson for the production.

Jolson. by the way, is said to have tucked away in his trunk a musical skit which he wants produced. The Shuberta, as a compromise issue, agreed to place him In the coming summer review and It Is understood that Jolson finds no fault with the happy solution. Blanche Ring, in "The Yankee Girl." will open her season In Atlantic City September 20. Her tour, before reaching New York, will include most of the -principal Eastern cities.

Miss Margaret Fawoett, the- young daughter of George Fawcett, and Miss Percy Haswell (Mrs. Fawcett) has written a play called "The Western Camp." It was produced in Slasconsett last week for a local charity. At New Haven on Monday evening Henry B. Harris tried out "On the Eve," considered Important in the producing line because It marks the debut of Hedwig Relch-er, for three seasons the leading actress of the German Theater In this city. In an English-speaking role.

It Is a tragedy of Russian revolutionary life by Leopold Kampf. translated by Martha Morton. In the cast are Frank Keenan and Frederick Lewis. Later In the season Mr. Harris will star Frank Keenan In a character role.

i According to a dispatch from the "Opinion" of Paris, a dramatisation has been made by Clemenceau of his well-known novel, fLes Plus Forts," which Is to be produced at the Renaissance Theater during the coming season. Sarah Bernhardt, the perennial. Is reported at work on a new play which she herself Intends to nroduce when It Is complete. According to Parisian reports. It is to be In blank verse, but the title and subject matter have not yet been divulged.

This is not the first play from the pen of the divine 8a rah. Two years. ago she made a version of "Adrlenne Lecouvreur," which she produced at her own theater and played on her road tours as well. The reports of Plnero's new play. "Mid-Channel." which has lust been brought out In London, and which Ethel Barrymore la to do In this country, do not seem to set It down as a pronounced success.

Its story concerns a married couple without children. Both husband and wife have an "affair," which they mutually agree to break and forget the past. This the wife finds impossible to do. and the consequent conflict ensues. The climax Is that the wife commits suicide.

The critics agree that there are many strong and true sayings In the course of the work, but that the dialogue Is unnecessarily brutal, and that while an attempt Is made at realism there is no conviction of the realty of the people or things in the drama. Miss Gladys Hanson, who will be remembered favorably here as Mr. E. IL Sothem's leading lady for the paar few years, has been engaged as Kyrle Bellew's leading lady In "The Builder of Bridges." Elsa Ryan, last season with Louise Gunning, will be Frank Daniels's leading lady In "The Belle of Brittany." Franz Lehar has completed a new comic opera, entitled "Graf Luxemburg." On account of the death of Clyde Fitch the production of "The City." his latest play, will be brought out much earlier than originally planned by the Shuberts. The first dramatic presentation of Dickens's "Old Curiosity Shop" that has ever appeared on any stage was given Friday night at the Tulane Theater In New Orleans by Max Kigman, under.

John Corf a management. Dick flwtveller is the central character, and the play la divided Into four parts, the first being laid In the Curiosity Shop, the second In Sampson Brass's office, the third at the Inn of the Three Jolly Sandboys, and the last In Dick Bwlveller's apartments. Max Figman plays Dick, Sydney Price Is Grandfather Trent, Lallta Roberts plays Little Nell and a capable cast takes care of the other roles. Andreas Dlppel, of the Metropolitan Opera House, has secured the American rights of Lehars "Gypsy Love," and will produce It here before it Is given abroad. It will probably be put on at the New Theater.

Helen Lackaye. of Henry W. Savage's production. "Mary Jane's Pa," which Is coming to the Grand Sunday night, has presented the members of the company with Individual sliver drinking cups for use on trains In Kansas, under the new law In that state, which has stripped Pullman and other cars of such articles. Klaw and Erlanger have engaged Chan- nlnr TVillfwlr to dramatise "The Inner Shrine," one of the year's successful novels.

The play will be seen In Decemr- -r. I I Maud Adams, who Is now In Eng. and en-j joying a long vacation, which was much needed after her strenuous work in the re-1 vival of "Joan of Arc" at the Harvard i Stadium last June, will not return to this country until November.

The tour is to begin about December I. and Williams Is reported to have offered the comedian 12,500 a week. Arnold Dalv has secured the American rights to Paul Hervleu's new play, "Con-nais-Tol." which has been running at the Comedie Francaise, in Paris, He will produce It In November under the English title, "Know Thyself."

Miss Elsie Ferguson Is henceforth to be honored as a star owing to her success in "Such a Utttle Queen." Flake 0Hara, the Irish singing comedian, will appear under William Morris in vaudeville this season in a condensed version of "Captain Barry" In which he will sing some of those beautiful ballads that have made him famous. The Rose of Algeria" by Victor Herbert and Olen QIacDonough has been produced by Lew Fields and was greeted with a re markable demonstration on the occasion of the first performance.

The music Is said to be one of Mr. Herbert's most ambitious efforts, while the production as a whole has been given a most lavish staging. Lillian Herleln, for the past six seasons 'prima donna at the Berlin Winter Garden. has been brought over oy jut. ruioa especially for this company.

Eugene Cowles and Frank Pollock. Of the old Bostoniana, take excellent care of the bass and tenor roles. Ethel Green, Qaston Davis and nearly 100 others fill In a good cast. The piece opens at Philadelphia tomorrow night. "St.

Starting September 27. with "Havana." the Shuberts will book Stair and Wilbur's Majestlo Theater In Brooklyn.
