and has been constantly before the pub lic in roe way or another. Her wander ings and manifestations have always been watched with some interest in Lincoln, and I imagine that when she comes to the Funke, in the course of a month or two there will be considerable couriosity to see Miss Lewis. She will present "Cleopatra," it is said, with most elaborate scenery and costumes. Charles Dickson opened Hoyts theatre in New York August 19 with his new play "Other People's Money." He will give this play at the Funke in the near future. Other Funke bookings are M.

The play it described as a lomantic comedy-drama, and as tho namo indi cates, it his for a back-ground, tho stirring and romantic period of the war of 1S4V between Mexico and the United States. In American history, there are few more thrilling and fascinating stories than that of "old Zach Taylor penetrating .with his handful of Ameri cans into the heart of Mexico," fighting time preventing a meeting between the two, which would surely result in Cleopatra finding out that Wooley had no views on woman suffrage, or any other political question.

August Hagenow.will be conductor of the Funke orchestra the coming season. There will be nine pieces. Although Edwin Milton Royle's comedy-drama of "Friends" has far from lived out its popularity, he has a new play already written entitled "Mexico", which will have its first production the coming season and will be seen in this city. Mr. Royle's debut as a dramatist was singularly fortunate. It is seldom, indeed, that an author's first play meets with anything like popular approval. As a rule he must try with one play after another and if after the third or fourth heart-breaking failure, he at length produces a success, he may 'gress" which appeared in these columns a few weeks ago. It is this play, under a different name and modernized by Rosenfeld, that Mr. Reed will present at the Funke Wednesday night. "The Politician,' or as it was originally called "For Congress" was first produced at the National theatre, Washington, D. C. in 1883, with the famous John T. Ray mond in the part of General Limber, and this characterization was one of Mr. Raymond's most conspicuous suc cesses. David Demarest Lloyd, the author, was born in New York in 1831, and died in Weehauken, N. J., in 1889. He wrote "The Woman Hater," (1883), and "The Dominie's Daughter" (1887.) "The Senator" produced by Mr. Crane, was written by him the year of his death. The scene of tho play is laid in Wooly ville, 111., on the eve of a convention to nominate a candidate for congress. Gen. Josiah Limber, a practical politi cian, has a candidate before the conven tion, but as there is much opposition to him, he decides to look about for a com promise candidate. He selects Peter Wooley, a millionaire, old absent-minded, unsophisticated country gentleman who has paid more attention to cultivat ing his garden than he has to politics. Wooley nearly haB paralysis at the sug gestion, but the wily general gets the assistance of Wooley's sister, Mrs. Mttjjin, wha is ambitious to shine in a social way, and not averse to marrying again. Limber starts him in the race and begins to handle the campaign funds. At this point Gen. Limber's plans are threatened by the arrival of Cleopatra Sturgess. a young woman of advanced ideas, who insists on having a woman suffrage plank inserted in the platform. She announces her intention of keeping Mr. Wooley, her uncle, out of politics, but Limber wins her over by declaring that Wooley is an out and out suffragist, while his opponent is a b't ter foe to the movement. With this assurance she enlists her sympathies heart and soul, and Limber has a hard ly populated square mile of old London, which was about 170,000 people.
