AMUSEMENTS.
The attraction at tha Croighton The
atre for three nUhts and Saturday
matinee, opening Thursday, December
12, will be a fln-de-slecle comedy en
tiUed 'My Wlfe'i Friend," presented
by one ot the moat capable companies
of comedians of the season. William
C. Andrewl la the star and the pro
prietor of the organization. Being a
thorough artist himself, he has se
lected a company of high quality to
support him. The play was written by
Fred Marsden, and may be classed in
the school of comedy which has been
made popular by Augustin Daly's clever
adaptations from the French and Ger
man vaudevilles, such as "7-20-S," "A
Night Off," etc These plays, always
refined, and which are really more
laughable than the cheap buffoonery
of low comedy, are the very essence of
society comedy. As an actor, Mr. An
drews may safely be classed with Crane,
Kobson and Goodwin, and is much ad
mired by the metropolitan critics.
a
Mr. Louis James, after three years of
distinguished and profitable associa
tion as joint star with Mr. Frederick
Warde, has this season resumed his In
dividual starring course, presenting an
attractive repertoire of classic and
standard plays, surrounded by a strong
oompany And adequate accessories.
Being the foremost American repre-
tentative of the school of robuat trage
dians, Mr. James has had no superiors
la point of repute or prospecta, among
the actors of the native stage. Bia
exalted position has been attained
through splendid gifts of person, tem
perament and genius, and through one
of the most exacting oourses of train
ing that ever developed talents. His
repertoire consists of "Vlrglnius,"
"Hamlet," and "Marmion," the latter,
a distinct novelty, being an adaptation
from Sir Walter Soott's famous poem.
Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper, his
managers, have secured a strong sup
porting company and have equipped
him with special scenery of a very
elaborate character, and all the details
which go to make an artistically suc
cessful stage production. Mr. James
will be seen at Boyd's Theatre,
opening with Wednesday matinee In a
magnificent production of "Vlrglnius."
Wednesday night, "Hamlet"; Thurs
day might, "Marmion."
a a
C. T. Dazey, the author of "la Old
Kentucky," is given the credit of hav
ing done his best work in his latest
play, "The War of Wealth," which will
be seen here at Boyd's Theatre on De-
comber 20th, 21st and 22d, and which
has suooeeded in stirring the San Fran
cisco critics up to the point of enthu
siasm. No play produoed there In a
long time has excited such favorable
comment. The Examiner, In the course
of a long notloe, said: "It Is a play
well worth seeing. The plot has the
merit of originality, and the situations
are given a dramatlo interest found In
few melodramas. The company Is gen
erally admitted to be the strongest
ever seen In this part of the country in
the melodrama, and the piece is most
elaborately staged."
a
Charles H. Yale's "Newest Devil's
Auction" will be the attraction at
Boyd's Theatre on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, December 13, 14 and 15.
The Kansas City Times of Monday last
said of Mr. Yale's show: "The old and
dear fairy story Itself is told without
any offending change, but how differ
ent is the setting of the familiar tale.
The play is one that admits of the
greatest variety of possibilities known
to scenic and mechanic art. The very
latest of these have been utilized. The
scenery and transformations are mar
vels, inspiring admiration and wonder.
Saturday, December 7, Effie Ellsler
and her splendid company will give
IX
two performances at Boyd's Theatre
"Camllle" in the afternoon, Shake
speare's beautiful pastoral comedy, "As
You Like It," in the evening, and the
engagement closing with "Doris" on
Sunday night.
The great success remarked last sea
son in the comical barnyard scene of
In Old Kentucky" has naturally given
birth to a horde of Imitators, and, no
doubt, there have been other picka
ninny bands and "buck" dancers sub
mitted for public approval during the
present theatrical campaign. The
public, however, Is not slow to distin
guish the spurious from the genuine,
and it is likely that "In Old Kentucky"
and its clever little darkies wilj occupy
nrst place for many seasons to come.
"In Old Kentucky" is the Christmas
attraction at Bovd's.
Mast fay for the Wake.
Dtjbcque, Iowa, Nov. 18. Matt Mo
Sherry, a bachelor, was drowned re
cently and a wake was held at his
boarding-house. The landlord's bill
for the entertainment was disputed by
the heirs to-day because McSherry had
not authorized the wake.
Judge Husted decided the wake was
authorized by custom in the case of an
Irish Catholic and allowed the claim.

The Tope a Monopolist.
Romanism Is one of the oldest mo
nopolies in existence. It has been the
curse of the last fifteen centuries. The
pope is the greatest monopoly in exist
ence. First, As the head of a financial
monopoly he Is the owner of untold bil
lions. All of the property of the papal
church Is held in trust for him. His
purgatorial mint fills his coffers with
untold wealth. His salvation ma chine,
called mass, is a veritable mint. His
Roman incubator the baby-sprinkler
Is a regular gold-mine. His rello fac
tory is a fortune In itself. "The Stand
ard Oil Company" cannot compete with
the "Holy Roman Oil Company." As
a pardon-broker he does a thriving
business. His money-making machine
never oeases. He coins his money out
of ignorance, and waxes rich on crime.
Second, He is a mental monopolist,
claiming the right to think for all men.
He assumes the power to dictate just
how far the human mind shall develop
and where It shall stop. He claims the
right to prepare the mental pabulum
for the whole world. Third, He is a
moral monopolist, audaciously assert
ing the right to control the morals of
mankind. He will brook no rival He
claims to be the sole, last and supreme
judge of morals. Fourth, He is a social
monopolist, seeking to run society in a
papal mold. Soolety is not safe unless
under his control. Social laws must
emanate from his brain. Society must
not progress If he say nay. Fifth, He
is a political monopolist. It is whole
hog or none with him. The universe
must obey him. Earih, heaven and
hell must bow beneath his sceptre.
There is nothing Bmall about the pope
except his brain. He has gall enough
to think he ought to have complete
domination over the nations of the
world. The pope is a political pig; he
never knows when he has enough. His
monopoly of political power is about
played out. The nations have gone
Into competition with him and outsold
him In the'market of civilization. The
pope is antiquated ; he must take a back
seat. .American Patriot.
The Danger.
The ignorant vote of the United
States Is one of the greatest dangers.
This is true in the northern states,
where the number of illiterate voters
In many states Is sufficient to hold the
balance of power between the great
parties. Especially is this true through
out the south, where thirty-three and
one-tenth per cent, of the voters cannot
read their ballots. Here is a field call
ing for greatly enlarged effort for the
education of the masses. The Methodist
Episcopal Church Is one of the tre
mendous factors of that field. Her
schools are disabled for lack of money.
Let our pastors resent this phase of
the case to their people, and urge the
collections of our southern educational
work. Omaha Christian Advocate.

The Sequel
We are informed that an A. P. A.
council was organized in Paris, Texas,
last week. Probably this is the result
of that little fisticuff that was Indulged
in in that city several weeks ago, be
tween a Romanist and a Protestant
preacher.
The Roman Catholics have one re
deeming trait that Protestants should
pattern after, that Is to contend for
what they believe to be right, even if
they have to fight for it. We hope the
citizens of Paris will use all honorable
means in their power to prevent those
human barnacles, those lecherous
leeches in the priestly garb of the Ro
man church to fasten themselves on
that community. A. P. A. ism and the
public school is a sure preventative.
