"Mary , how do you like the Ivory Soap ? " 11 Best we have ever had , ma'am. The starched clothes are whiter and the flannels are softer than when washed with common soaps. It saves my hands ; they used to be very sore after a wash. " " Well , Mary , I am told that it saves the clothes , too , and you shall have only Ivory Soap after this. " Those who have tried both common sonp : md Ivory Soap , say that It takes only two-thirds as mv.h nf the Ivory for a wash. s oY TMI TOOCTIR I. CUMULI CO. CIIICIS-JMI "The 'IVli'iihone < ; irl.

"Tho Telephone ( Jlrl" can hardly bo placed in the latter clasH , although were Us theme not so deftly handled by the adapter and so well inter preted by a decidedly clever company of comedians and comediennes it would be much more suggestive than It really Is. The opening scene la quite unique. It shows the Interior of a central telephone station with a score of pretty Rlrls seated at the switchboard answering calls. Many of the calls are , however , left unanswered while the girls join In the frivolities of flirting with everyone who enters , Including the new German Inspector. The latter adopts a net of rules requiring each and every girl to kiss him uion his entry In the mornlti ; and departure nt night , nSj well as n num ber of others us ridiculous ? and It Is these which cause much of the fun during the act. The scene is an exact reproduction , com plete In detail , of the interior of a central olllco and Is quite effective. The oecon.l rtct is n splendid example of scenic art and represents the salon In a mansion. Here iho telephone girls come In answer to a tele phone invitation from ono of their num ber who had recently rrelgncd to take Iho place of ladles' maid in the house. The fun is kept going nt a lively rate through out both acts , and the audience is kept lu 111 uproar of laughter the majority of the lime. lime.Will Will H. Sloan , as linns Nix , inspector of telephones , offers a character Htudy that Is a wonder. His Gorman dialect , his makeup ami his dry , droll comedy methods are origi nal and extremely funny. Charles Dow Clark as an old beau Is qulto reminiscent of George. Heane in voice , mannerism and makeup. Jessie Merrlleos , n pretty young woman with the thumb ring habl' ' : . Is qulto winsome as the telephone girl. Mlns Mor- rllees Is quite an acrobatic vocalist and slugs a calehy ditty entitled "LlWIe Tin Soldier Army. " James MaeDonuld , as Snuflles , the crraudboy , has a small part , but handles It well. His Interpolation of the pretty vocal number , "I'll Love You Till I Die , " was one of the bits of the specialty numbers , of which there were several good ones. Marlon Douglas made n charming Heauty Fairfax , the music hall favorite. Nellie Douglas , an errand girl with a Howcry dialect , made a winsome soubrcttc. There were a num ber of other clever character sketches offered. The piece Is elaborately staged , the coftumcs 'tasty ' and beautiful and last , but not least , the girls are the prettiest and most shapely lot that has been seen hero this season. They all have good voices , which makes the vocal part of the comedy not the least entertaining part of It. An effective and patriotic oncumblo finale to the second ac.t enlists the entire strength of the company , who sins the "Star Spangled Hau lier" while numerous flags are dropped from the files. The engagement Is for six more performances , and closes Wednesday night. t Vnud.-vtll.- . John H.

Therefore the names of thcso well-known exponcnt.s of minstrelsy nt the head of a company of vaudeville performers Is HUfll- clent evidence of the merit thereof. This IK the flrt't time in the history of the Cielghton-Orphetim theater that any but the Orphctim's own syndicate attractions have played at this house and the diversion proves qulto acceptable. The bill as a whole good , and furnished two and a half hours of really enjoyable amusement. Mclntyro and Heath offer u specialty which they choose to call "The Georgia Minstrels , " probably na a reminder of their former efforts. It is n moat amusing skit anil the audience Is kept in an uproar of laughter at their original witticisms and funny nntlcs for well-nigh n half hour.

REPORT ON THE QUAY CASE THIS WEEK UiNUiiNflliin of III- HUM til ' ill Mil } ' IntiTfori * Midi I'hiinicliil Illll'- . Di'llelcnc.v Illll In lion-- . WASHINGTON , Defc. si. with the re- tmmptlon of Its sittings Wednesday the son- nip will practically begin the work of the Boston. After the present week longer dally sessions will be the rule and very tew wore adjournments from Thursday to Mon day nro to bo expected , as was character- Istlc of the sessions of the past week. ' In the absence of Senator Aldrlch , chair man of the committee on finance , who will hnvo charge of the financial bill , no definite statement can be made to how vigorously ho will press that measure nt the begin ning of business , but there Is no doubt of his general determination to push It along us rapidly as possible after the present j week. Ho has given notice that he will call the measure ? up on Thursday and It Is generally believed that he will then oren on the following day make a statement In support of It. It Is the purpose of the supporters of the hill to make very few speeches , leaving the opposition to do the greater- share of the talking , while its opponents on the other hand will use every endeavor to draw the friends of the bill Into running debate. Thorn \a \ no present purpose on the part of the opposition to delay the passage of the hill unnecessarily and likewise none on the part of Its supporters to press the meas ure to the personal Inconvenience of op posing senators. Those senators who are antagonistic to the bill , as a rule , freely confess their Inability to defeat It , saying that it will gel practically the entire repub lican vote It needed and probably ono or two democratic votes. With n session of unlimited duration before them they can not hope to conduct , a successful Illbuster. Hence , they will not seek to delay the measure beyond the time necessary to dis cuss Its provisions and give the country the benefit of their analysis. How long It may take them to do this , will depend largely upon the length of the dally sessions and the freedom from interruptions by other business. Drlinti * on HIP ( limy Cn4 < * . At present there Is but ono other matter which threatens to Interfere with the con tinuity of the proceeding upon the financial bill. That Is the right of Senator Quay to n seat In the senate. Senator Chandler , chairman of the committee on privileges and elections , has elated that a report will be made in the Quay case soon after the be ginning pf bii'iiucas. ' It now seems proba ble that there will bo more debate over the Quay contest than over tile flnancl.il measure. I'p.to date , not more than halt n dozen senators have announced a purpose to make financial speeches , while the proba bility IB that the Quay ease will call out much animated discussion. It will be difllcult to hold the discussion of foreign questions , and especially the Philippine subject. In check during the financial discussion. Many of the southern senators are nnxloug to bring the Philippine question to the front and it may be safely predicted that there will ne more or less reference to it from the beginning. There will be an early effort to get up the Samoan treaty and it may furnish a basis for discussion of the foreign policy if one Is not found before the treaty is ccusjdered. During the week the foundations of the financial discussion will be laid and It doubtless will reveal much of the plans of both sides lo the controversy. There , will bo a _ strenuous .effort to pass the bill with out" amendment , but the opposition will In sist upon votes on Innumerable propositions , and on some of thcso they may get the support of some senators known to have prosllvcr leanings. I'tilllliltlno 'I'nHi In UK * llouxr. The coming week In the bouse does not give promise- much business. The com mittees have not yet begun active work and there has not been any legislation nf pressing importance reported. Th appro priations committee has not yet considered the urgent deficiency bill , although the measure has been prepared. This bill maybe bo brought In during the week If there should be n request from the executive de partments asking Its early passage. As tin ) bill will carry nearly $50,000,000 for the in my , most of which Is on account of the Philippines , it is quite likely there will be considerable discussion of the Philippine policy while the measure Is before the house. There are some minor matters , susli n pro vision for clerko and routine management of house affairs that arc to be passed upon. CI.OSK > !

The announce ment that the extension of the foreign concessions at Shanghai , China , has been finally approved brings to n close a diplo matic controversy between ( Jreat Uritaln , the United States and France , which has at times become rather acute , Franco tak ing the position nt ono stage of the negotia tions that the American co-operation with the llrltlsh In opposing the French plan of extension was an unfriendly act toward Frame. This , and the other difference , have been happily adjusted , according to nn- nnuncemeuU from China , which are borne out by the information of olllclals here. The controversy assumed an International nope when the three colonies at Shanghai British. French and American sought to extend their limits. The concerns lire just outside of the old native city and lie along the river Whang Pee , near the point whore ; : ' It Joins the Yang-tse-Klang. They are chletly Important because Shanghai h the I foremost port of entry for foreign trade In 1 the Chinese empire. The French settle ment Is nearest the city and fronts on the river. Next comes the Drltlsh settlement i and then the American. I The French desire was to extend their ' settlement eo as to take In a largo area bai-k of the old city , Including five Ameri can missionary Institutions. The llrltlsh .government . opposed this extension qulto i ! vigorously. The Hrltlsh plan of extension wna for an "International settlement , " run- ' nlng from the rear of the Hrltlsh conces- i ' slon up to the native city ; France , in turn , I protested against this on the ground that I It would be entirely surrounded , without I ! exit , I'X-opt by the river , the native city or I i over llrltlsh territory. The United States | I approved the plan of International settle- I I j mem. Hhirh was that the American Inter- ' j cats were substantially similar to thcso of i the Ilritlsli , but the American attitude did i not Include an endorsement of all the con- i tentlima made by the Hritleh. It was lo this course of the American government that Frame took exceptions , on the ground that it was an unfriendly act toward France. The negotiations , while assuming no out- | \\ard show of warmth , were carried on with , some briskness , Ambassador Cnmbon of France presenting the French side up to a few months ago. I The adjustment finally reached In satisfactory - ' factory to nil parties concerned. The French c-oncuulon Is extended , without Including the American missions. The Hrltlsh and American settlements are extended and to sjme extent merged In the International settlement , tut the Urltlsh-AmurL'an ex- tension dues not eo envelop the French j " as to plaoo It in a pocket The volume of these several concessions .

He also said In response to the question , 'Is Douglas county disappointed with the election ? ' that Douglas county had the pleasure of making President Perry's election assured. "Again his hand In politics was shown , for In the same Interview he said that the affairs of the association wore at a low ebb. duo to the mismanagement of the execu tive committee. I can certainly see the handwriting on the wall In these well-chosen words of his own utterance. In his InterView - View In the World-Herald he deplores and condemns the political workings of the as sociation and to a person who Is not ac quainted with the facts it would seem that the attains of the association were run by a political ring. "Tho facts are these : The members of the executive committee did their best to eliminate tht > element of politics and If they were- defeated In their plans it was by the people who are now trying to shift the re sponsibility to someone else.
