His theme was a portrayal of the character of 'The Bishop of D ," In ,Vlotor Hugo's masterpiece, Les Mlser abtea, bat scores of real characters liv ing today afforded meet ot his illustra tions to prove that the brotherhood idea 'Is the dominant and controlling thought of the hour. Senator Kenyon painted the character of Napoleon In all of Its gloomv great nesa, deftly compelling bis auditors to foresee the disappointing finish at St. 'Helena and yet uttering no stronger con deranaUon that to say that the world voaid not today stand tor a Napoleon. . He sketched the characters of other great men, living and dead, whose con trolling Impulses are and were selfish am bition, and contrasted them with the greater character of Huso's fiction, i 'The world Is not only growing better. but it is growing wiser," said Senator Kenyon. "It Is coming to demand dif ferent Ideals for success. Accumulation of greet poaer. in the form of wealth r lany other form is no longer the-true meas ure. To get millions of dollars-tor a pocket less shroud Is no longer popular. To crowd down to a starvation wage thous ands of brothers and sisters and give r!.0l.iwa to an art Institute that Is In leut dcs not meet popular approval. Xven the legislators of the world are 'catching the spirit of brotherhood, and pece treaties are being formulated, al (though often to be Immediately strangled, but the time Is coming, and It is close at tand. when peace legislation will be the greatest work demanued by the people of all nations of their legislative bodies." . Senator Kenyon won hearty applause when he referred to the ptace treaties and declared that he earnestly wished )m might witness the ratification in the it nlted States senate ' of treaties with every nation stronger than that negott- atrd by President Tsft with Ureal I Britain. ' "It was a shame." he said, "for the i senate of the Vnlted States in cut to I pieces and destroy that splenrlM astro?- inert which would Have etrtngiiiuhea the tAnglo-tlaxon race and advanced the oont ing of this great universal brotherhood 'condition when all wars will become lin Voasible." Senator Kenyon was Introduced by Sen ator C. O. Saunders. On the platform were Judge Walter I. (Smith and other local men ot prominence. Amundsen Believes; Scott Has Chance 1I0BART. Tasmania, March U.-Cap-tain Itoal Amundsen, the discoverer of the south pole. Mid today he thought It quite possible that Captain Robert F. Hcatt, the British explorer, bsd also at tained the pole. lie hoped so at least. Ills own bass be said, was SflO miles front that of the British party and his winter camp was Hearer the pole then Boon's. He had no idea at the time that Captain Scott had started for the pole. Captain Amundsen has received thous ands of congratulatory messages. He announced that he will remain here until the Fram falls He will then begin a two month's lecture tour In Australia and will Join, the Fram at Buenos Ayrea From that port he will proceed on the Fram to th Arctic ocean by way of Ber ing strain. 1 Today Amundsen went for an automo 1t!e ride with Henry D.

The rather labored first act ot "Th Lily," the Woodward Stock company's offering for th week at th American, failed - to arouse any Intense Interest among the auditors, but th second act saw the development ot the story Into its tense tiagedies In the lives ot the un happy members of tbe family ot the Comte Deilaigny and the plsy took a powerful bold on the playgoers; In th third, act "came the Intensely dramatic arraignment ot her father by Odette, played by Mis Kva Lang, and so effec tive was the scene that the audience tor the time forgot It was only a play and watched and listened almost breathlessly. In the second act Miss Lang, moving quietly about the place Odette called borne, was clearly the woman who had sacrificed herself for her father and was living out her hopeless life, playing the mother and manager of the house, suf fering An silence, Tet one could wonder if Uie spirit within her always could keep silence. Miss Lang wss thinking her part, living it. working herself to th proper pitch for that scene la the third act when the brutal father In his selfish rage was about to attack his younger daughter and Odette held up a restraining band and trembled with emotion, scath ingly rebuked him for ruining her own life and attempting to ruin that of her sister, for driving her to apparent Im proper conduct by denying her all the clean and natural things of life that a young girl's heart desires. Miss Lotus Robb as Christine accom plished even more than might hav been expected of her, showing a fin appre ciation ot the role and an ability to in terpret it. It calls for a more tense emotionalism Cian before has been re quired ot Miss Robb. Prank Denlthorn as th Comte DeMeigny.

Th Kirksmlth sisters, a sextet of former Omaha girls, have a vocal and instrumental headline act at the Orpheum this week which merits approval from every angle. Garbed In white draping gowns and gray slippers they render a musical program ot general excellence. A vocal quartet selection and an en semble piece which Is directed by one ot the six from th orchestra pit proved the hits of their five offerings. Al and Fannie S ted man with some original piano capers, in which a weird dash of chop auey ragtime features, brought forth rounds of applause.

Cooper and Robinson, colored come dians, hav a twanging lip tun and some witty dialogue. Dressed in the fashion ot the ancient Romans, a unique touch la added to th bill by th Paul Axard trio who present some difficult feats of tumbling and strength. Miss Alma Toulin Is charming in her manner and adda to the effectiveness ot her warbling by well sustained notes. ltlce. Bully and Scott complete the week's offering with a novel comedy stunt in which they are continually bouncing about or whirling on the elevated bars. "Bey lasr" at the Braaalela.
