' Jeanne D'Arc, the drama which Miss

toire diirlng last season.
,-Mr. "Mackayo, the author, adheres
more closely to' h4 story than does
Schiller in his ''Maid of Orleans." He
is true and historic in his portrayal
of the spirit of courage and patriotism
of the soldier shepherdess.
The first scene of the drama is in
the village of Domremy, where the
simplicity of Jeanne's life is illumi
nated by the visitation from her saintB
who, at the end of the act, bid her go
forth and raise the great selge of Or
leans and have crowned the Dauphin.
It is in the second act, when at the
castle of Chium, eanne convinces
the Dauphin, Louis VII, of the divine
origin of her mission, that the love
situation, a begins.
cousin, the Due D'Alencon, falls under
the spell of her pure and patriotic
spirit and eventually, through his faith
In her, Is made to pray, to tremble
and believe." As Jeanne's "shield In
battle" he marches beside her until
she is captured by the English, when
he, too, is taken prisoner.
During the third act, Jeanne is
wounded, apparently fatally, but in

her soldiers for "Lescoud," she turns
the retreat ordered by Dunols, the
French commander before Orleans,
Into an attack on the last stronghold
of the English, and the act ends with
the raising of the selge.
The fourth act takes place during
the march of the army to RhelmB,
where the coronation will take place.
By her vision Jeanne sees through and
frustrates the plans of Seigneur De
La; Treraoullle, the king's favorite,
who, for selfish reasons, wishes to
keep Charles from Doing crowned.
The last act Is in the prison at
Rouen, when, worn out in body and
mind by the long trials and Injustice
(of the Inquisition, and forsaken by her
VoiceB, pale hallucinations come to
Jeanne and she hears ever and anon
the voice of the judge's clerk crying
the question in the justice hall. It is
here that the Due D'Alencon, dis
guised as a monk, reaches the wander
ing mind of the maid and brings her
back to, faith in her saints and voices,
Other characters in the drama are:
Peasant of Domremy, Marshal La Hire
Louis D.e Cortes, Jeanne's Page, Pierre
Cpuchh, Bishop of eauvais, Nicolas
Lolsoleur of the Inquisition, and John

Ward May Not Play Ball.
Owing to a three weeks' sojourn at
the hospital, AW. Ward, the-'varslty

will perhaps claim all his attention.
