"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.

French farcical adaptations are alwayn
risque enough to be spicy and eomctlmca
so much so as to be vulgar. "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.

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.

To those who have been attendants upon
places of amusement for any length of time
the named of Mclntyre and Heath arc al
most household words , and there are doubt
less few , If any , who do not remember the
old Georgia minstrels which at one time
held a prominent place among the leading
minstrel organization ! ! of the country.
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.

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.

WASHINGTON , Do" . 31. 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-

LINCOLN' , Dec. 31. ( Special. ) Members
of the executive committee of the State
Teachers' association feel that they were
unjustly criticised by the people who rhnrgrd
them with allowing lee much politics and
wire-pulling In the annual meeting of that
orgnnlzatlcn held In this city last week. He-
ferrlm ; to the published Interview with
Superintendent Pcarse , In which MII-PO
charges were made , William H. Clemmona
of Fremont , cue of the outgoing members
oi the committee , said :
"He asserts himself that ho came to the
meeting with a candidate for the ofllce of
president and to our knowledge he was the
only one who came that way. 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. The persons
who are now the loudest In denouncing the
committee were the ones who comprised the
political ring that tried to dictate the nom
inations and run the affairs of the associa
tion. "
Treasurer Delzell of Lexington left for
his home last night after settling all debts
made by the last convention. The receipts
and expenditures about balanced each other ,
leaving the treasury In a partlcu'arly healthy
condition , with a surplus of nearly Jl.noo.
The annual expense of the association was
greatly Increased during the last year by
