'Sidney Drew, whose stellar vlclstrt
tudes are familiar, has attain essayed
the center of the stage. He la present
ing a three-act play by Mlsa Coyne
Fletcher, entitled "The Bachelor Baby."
Upon the occaalon of its Initial produc
tion in Washington Monday night the
tost said:
" 'The Bachelor's Baby" is a frothy lit
tle comedy with an undercurrent of deeper
sentiment, one thoroughly strong elra
mut.c situation, and a very Ingen.ous. If
not altogether logical, climax, lirietty
told, the story Is this: Colonel Roder.c-K
1Arcy (AK-Kce ltunkin) commands a
rete.ment at a sol.tury urmy post on the
Pacific coast. Four years before the open
ing of the play he visits the east and
hastens to extend assistance at a lallroad
wreck In which several persons are in
jured. The wreckers place In his nanus
a young girl who is badly Injured and un
csnscious. He looks after her comfort,
end has the satisfaction of seeing her ret-over
sufficiently at the end of four weeks
to be able to walk about on crutches.
The physicians declare she will be a hope
less Invalid, and from a motive of p.ty
lie marries her. He sends her to Europe
to have the care of the best physicians,
and in her absence fulls a victim to the
wiles of another woman who proposes to
make the best of her power. The mili
tant of the regiment is Koderlck D'Arcy
(Sidney Drew), his nephew, who is in love
with the colonel's ward, Oeraldine (Miss
Nance O'Neil). a young girl who has Just
arrived from the east. There is also at
the post a designing and handsome Wash
ington widow. Mis. l'onsonby (Miss Anno
Leonard), whose son (Krnest WaleotO is
a lieutenant In the regiment. Voting l'on
sonby, who Is a scapegrace, has borrowed
(o.OUO at a San Francisco bank on his
mother's name, secured by property in
New Jersey belonging to a relative. The
bank dlsctvers the frutid and no lilies Mrs.
Ponsonby that they have, out of consid
eration for her name, extended payment
for thirty days. This furn'shes a motive
in the play wnicn prompts .vrs. runwiuiy
to conspire to secure Geraldlne's hand for
her son, knowing ner to oe an neiress.
The colonel, however, refuses his consent,
and Mrs. Ponsonby tnforms him that un
less he withdraws his objections she will
reveal to his invalid wife the story of his
ferlldy.
About the same time Colonel D'Arcy
receives a threatening letter from his
former inamorata demanding hush money.
The letter has remained unanswered four
weeks, owing to the colonel's absence. He
make a confidant of his nephew. Adjutant
D'Arcy, to whom he discloses the f;ct
' that while he did not originally love his
wife, he does so now with Increased ardor,
and is in despair over the prospect of his
liaison being disclosed to her. Here the
comedy sets in. A telegram, signed with
two inltlalls. intended for Colonel D'Arcy.
Is placed by mistake in his junior's hands,
announri ng the coming of a baby by a
steamship from the east. Young D'Arcy
Is In comical despair, but makes a con
fident of his brother olflcers, vowing tha t
he knows nothing of the origin of the mys
terious baby. Mrs. Ponsonby resolves to
use the information to drive young;
P'Arcv out of the field and leave lit r
aldine to her son, but Miss Breeze (Mrs.
Sidney Drew), a kind military M'llss, dis
covers that the telegram 's Intended for
the colonel. It relieves young D'Arcy of a
serious predicament which might cost him
the hand of Geraldine, but it puts the
disgrace on his uncle, the colonel. Tho
Ponsonby brings matters to a crisis by
arousing the wife's suspicions, and tho
colonel Is about to disclose hi s guilt when
young D'Arcy, by a heroia act of self
sacrifice, assumes the responsibility for
the baby, and at the same time forfeits
Geraldlne'z hand. The rest of the piece
Is devoted to a portrayal of his misery,
mingled with a good deal of humor, until
chance places In his hands the letter of

made harmless. About this time the rays
teiy surrounding the baby Is explained.
It turns out that reference wa3 had to
Oeraldine, who. Instead of coming by
steamship, had come overland by rail,
without the knowledge of her frends in
the east. And thus everything ends hap
pily. The play is presented by a strong com
pany. Colonel D'Arcy was admirably por
trayed by McKee Rankin. The honors of
the production, however, belong in the
first place to Mr. and Mrs, Sidney Drew.
The latter'i part is that of a breezy west
ern g rl, who is more at home in the bar
racks and on the prairies than in a parlor
a girl, with a rich fund of womanly sym
niathv and stronff character force. Her
acting was admirable, being marked by a
vigorous and vivacious interpretation of
the comedy features of the role. Mr.
Drew's part Is one involving a portrayal
of conflicting emotions, changing rapidly
from the gay to the grave, and from the
ludicrous to the Intensely dramatic. It Is
In the highest degree creditable to his
versatility as an actor to present In such
striking contrast these exceedingly trying;
lines of diverging characteristics. If there
be weakness Jn the play, it is rather in the
character of the low comedy element,
which seems to be Interpolated as so much
padding, without sufficient regard for the
stronger features of the piece. The play
Is not without its conventional material,
but the story Is so well told, and the mat
ter at hand, the novel with the conven
tional, Co cleverly assimilated In the
whole, and besides, the parts are so well
taken and the stag management evidenc
ing such marked ability, that 'The Bache
lor's Baby" must be pronounced a success,
a credit to the modest author and to the
artistic abilities of those who are called
upon to present it."

Apropos of the complaint that Sir
Henry Irving was not forced to pay a
tax on the scenic paraphernalia he
brings to this country, Eugene Field
writes: "When we consider what Irv
ing has done for dramatic art In this
country, we think he should be accord
ed every privilege. It was he who gave
our public to know that the drama
could be mounted handsomely. Before
he came here our great actors had been
In tht habit of going about with two
or three shabby old stage sets, ridicu
lously seedy costumes and absurdly in
efficient companies. It took Just one
season of Henry Irving to change all
that. Then Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett got together and gave a prac
tical recognition of the fact that the
public was no longer to be Imposed
upon with shiftless performances. Oth
er managers followed suit; there was
an Immediate elevation of the standard
of dramatic art. The fossils were rele
gated to obscurity, and the wretched
old stage scenery and costumes were
packed off to the kindling yards and
Junk shops. Henry Irvlng's first sea
son In America marked an epoch for
which the public and the profession
should be heartily grateful."

Very pleasant words greet Nat Oood
whVs production of Henry Ouy Carle
ton's lay, "A Glided Fool." Vance
Thompson writes of it: "The role of
Chauncey Short Is one that fits this
actor uncommonly well. It furnishes a
logical background for many of his per
sonal peculiarities; it excuses his rather
coarse manner; It even lends Mself to
the 'gagalng hafcrt of the variety stage,
which iMr. Goodwin has not wholly
abandoned. T'here is not a dull mo
ment when he Is on the stage. He es
tablishes a sort of cheery familiarity
wjih hf.s audience In the first act wMch
he malnl'iln ur.'broken to the end. And
while ihls art Is not without an ele
ment of olownlshness, It Is real, sincere,
admirably human. , Distinctly Ameri
can, as well. iMr. Goodwin has an alto
gether delightful intimacy with the
comedy of American life life of the
street corner and the hotel barroom,
comedy of the thousand and one activi
ties, Irresponsibilities and shame-faced
heroisms which make up the American
.character, Mere Is s man who Vs a con
noisseur In certain kitfds of life; a keen
and yet kindly observer. He has seen
more than he can express. And with
tihlalohe touches upon Ms chief defect.
. So tat ss I know, there Is no actor nn
the American steve who has .Mr. Good
win's Intimacy with the life of the day.
His character studies are Inolelve and
Clairvoyant. When he comes to por
tray them, tie Is thwarted at every turn

rtiius. And then there comes a shud
dering fall Into perfectly meaningless
vulgarity. It is as though he said, 'Ah.
you are tiring of this lltle character
study don t deny It well, kindly watch
these droll and native vulgarities of the
original Nat Goodwin.' And so, he is
an ai'tlst. sophisticated with Nat Good
win. What he may be In the future it Is
difficult to presage. It depends largely
upon himself. He may he an artist and
he may be Nat Goodwin. One can only
hope for the boot."

This evening's entertainment at the
Academy of Music will be furnished by
William Hurry. No Irishman at home,
in .lis dark atmosphere of oppression,
could be quite as funny as Barry under
the conditions afforded by the oppor
tunities of life as seen In New York
city, where the scene of "The Rising
Generation,,' his present play. Is laid.
Mr. Martin McShane, the chief figure
in the piece, from the association with
gout son a rocky promontory in Harlem,
rises to the dignity of being a senator
and this wMe range of personal exper
ience, gives Harry's humor every chance
to disport Itself. American In story,
i.'he play is the work of William Gill, the
most successful American craftsman in
this line. The company consist of
twenty-rive people. The scenery Is new,
showing New York In many aspects.

ME HATONAl EISTEPPFQB OF WALES.
Its Meaning and History Concisely Defined and Described Various Other
Topics of Interest to Welshmen.
The well-known words of Matthew Ar
nold respecting the eisteddfod and its
Influence was not altogether a mere tiower
of speech. He said: "An eisteddfod :s,
no doubt, a kind of Olympic meeting;
and that the common people of Wales
should e-are for such a thing shows some
thing Greek in them, something spiritual,
something humane, something I am
afraid one must add which In the com
mon English pet pie is not to be found."
Wale is frequently nvcie 'the butt of her
neighbor's caustic criticism for many
faults which she unfortunately possesses,
but in spite of many national deficiencies
and racial shortcomings, she can always
make the proud boast that In her re
creations she is eiiual, if not superior, to
the most cultured nation on the face of
the earth. It Is a wonderful tribute to the
character of the national Institution that
by Its own inherent attractiveness it
should Induce pilgrims to come from ail
i jus of the globe to pay tr.bute, and any
one who visits the national institution
i-ould not but regard as an inspiring spec
tacle, full of hope for the future-, the sight
of so many sons and daughters of Wulea
lak ng a deep and Intelligent Interest in
purely mental exerciser. Such distin
guished vis. tors as I'lliUf Henry of Bat
tenburg vi.'teil the eSteddfod at Swan
sea, Madame I'attl at Brecon, Mr. Glad
stone at Wrexham, the queen of Ron
mania (better known and better loved as
Carmen Sylva) at Bangor, the lord mayor
of London at Hhyl, and the Prince of
Wales at Carnarvon.
The eisteddfod, even in Wales, Is a
word very much misunderstood and
abused In these days. A musical festival
U not an eisteddfod, neither Is an eis
tedlfod a mut'.tal festival, yet in the
Welsh settlement of tho r mi ted States the
word e.stbddfod in connection with musi
cal comnetiitions Is 'invariably abused. The
eisteddfod means a gathering of Welsh
bards, a congress of llterateurs and min
strels. It antedate all In.tutinns of
learning known to the civilised world, and
its meetings have been annual In Uwalla
from a very early date. We have au
thentic records of the proceedings of its
annual gatherings for many centuries,
and It is a historical fact that It has been
the national Institution of the children of
Gomer since the fifth century, If not
eartler. Its gatherings have always bewi
large and exceedingly enthusiastic, and
the attendance at the recent national eis
teddfod was enormous. Just think of an
audience of 20.0UO pe-ople singing one of
the inspiring Welsh hymns! The effect
is thrilling. Such are. the audiences that
assemble at a Welsh national eisteddfod.
The titled nobility are Its patrons, and
men who have reached the highest trend
In the ladder of fame participate in Its
diverse exercises. Bishops and other
church dignitaries contribute to its wel
fare; JU'itjes and barristers, divines end
college bred men in every walk of life,
ministers of the many religious denomlna
tior.n. have been chronicled in the record
of Its competitions. That distinguished
llterateur and linguist, the late Prince
Louis I.ucien Bonaparte, was among the
many renowned competitors at the Aber
gavenny eisteddfodau in the early fifties.
He was one of the most scholarly men of
the age, and a profoun d thinker. Among
his competitors Were men of the highest
accomplishments In learning and litera
ture. They were Oxford and Cambridge
graduates, Glasgow and Dublin univer
sity men, and a, few from .the great universities-
of Germany. The adjudicators,
upon all occasions, are men foremost In
learning and masters in the analytical art.
One of these memorable contests be
tween giant minds gave to Wales Its
greatest antiquarian and historian, the
late Thomas Stephens, of Mcrthyr, the
Immortal author of "The Literature of
the Kymrie," the most valuable work
found in the public and private libraries
of Wales. The great historian and an
tiquarian was born of humble parents in
one of the most secluded hamlets of
Breconshire, South Wales. His early edu
cational advantages were meagre, but his
Innate love for knowledge and his stu
dious habits, his great natural abilities
and close appl cation to books, his unflag
ging perseverance and strong will power,
conquered all barriers, and early In life,
yea, long before he had reached the
spring of manhood, we find him striding
gallantly along the charming avenues, of
literature with young literary aspirants
of far greater opportunities. Kre he
had yet left behind him the spring days
of manhood we find him leading a proces
sion of the grandest array of literary as
pirants that ever competed for literary
glory at any inst'tutlon of learning. Like
the immortal Dickens, long before he had
reached the xenith of his literary glory,
the foremost Welsh llterateurs paid him
homage, and ere he was .10 years of nge
he was the lion of the national eisteddfod
of Wales. He had already vanquished
the foremost writers of his age in literary
comtes'ts. and his "Iteratiire of the
Kymrie" (a prise essay at Abergavenny
eisteddfod) Is an everlasting monument to
his genius and Uternry accomplishments.
We all know Tom 'Stephens, of Merthyr.
His preparatory school was an llly-ven-t'.'atrd
alcove b-hrd the prescrp"on dck
of a country drug store, and his nlma

' X:iaa Sad! Kaiser, of WIlkcs-Harte,
well knutvn as London correspondent
for The TiCbune, gave a recital to men
'bers of the press this wc-k and cleurly
deimomuratcd chat her f.udltj In '.he
Knf.'l.rh academy had not been without
resukij. Edi.vard A. Niven, the well
known dtamaivc and musical critic,
mention the recital In the Wilkes
'Bai're Leader as follows: 'l.Mlss Kaiser
had a decidedly appreciative audience
yesterday afternoon on the occadi.m of
'ner leolital of sung especially arranged
for the newspaper nun of this city.
The singer was in excellent voice and
the piogromnie was an especially de
lightful one. iMIcs OINc'.ll was the ac
ccmpariist and aide d niixcrlully In e-m-phaslzii.'S
the artistic qualities of the
vtjal'ut. Those present who had n-'t
heard iMf.-:a Kiauser Klnce her return
were ove whelmed with ge-tiulne sur
pi.ne Bit the remarkable culture which
iher t'tudles and practices had material
ized. She was no longer the shy, nerv
ous girl, apprehensive of failure, but
the conscious, self-ceimmandlng artist,
convinced cf h(r wonderful power and
rti3ouioes and assured that she was
I leasing to those who 'listened. This
confidence is what expels uny dou'bt of
her aibltlty to reach those magnificent
ullmaxc'3 when she begins on a compo
sition her auditors know demands the
xnot't consummate f-jree and skill. Yes
terday she proved beyond any doutt
thai: she is all that the English critics
declared she was pleasing in the htgh
t degree. It Is Wt for Miws Kaiser to
surprise many people on the occasion
of 'tier approaching benefit concert."
II II II
. The Wllkes-Barre iRecord says: "The
reeiftal of song given by iMLss Sadie
Kaiser to the members of the press and
few friends In the Y. IM. C. A. audi
torium was a revelation to those who
had not heard her since her return from
the Royal Academy. Even the news
paper men, generally apathetic, were
completely caried away by the wonder
ful sweeitness, beauty and power of her
voice. As one 'number followed another,
revealing new beauties of tone, they
looked at each other In wonder and
voted ft olbout the finest feast of sung
they had ever enjoyed. From the light
and pleasing "Damon" to the Intensely
dramatic scene from "Oberon, line
giattil singsr displayed so Arm a grasp
to 1 iight a touch and o wide a rainge
that one newspaper man was moved to
imark that he Utterly failed to see
where all that wonderful voice came
from."

"The Wizard of the Nile," which was
presented for the second time, at the
Academy of Music last evening, will
undoubtedly be numbered among the
muflcal successes of the year. While
following: the themes suggested by Li
brettist Harry Q. Smith in the compo
sition of music of an oriental and at
times weird character, Victor Herbert
has produced some excellent numbers
and has given a variety that Is in ac
cord with the kaleidoscopic colorings in
the staging of the opera. The music
ranges from classic themes to catchy
airs and will doubtless prove more pop
ular than anything heretofore written
by Mr. Herbert. The pages' serenade
at the opening of the second act Is like
ly to be one of the moat popular num
bers of the opera. In this the composer
has gathered inspiration for a fascinat
ing air from Mr. Smith's delicate line's:
"At dawn the song bird sings to the
flower.
And the waking sunbeams sing to the
sea;
At dawn young blossoms sing to the
shower;
And I come to sing of my love to thee.
My love awake; my love rie.
A truce to dreaming, dear, I pray;
Come W.th the glory of thine eyes
Lend brightness to the coming day.
In his libretto to "The Wizard of the
Nile," Mr. Smith seems to have aban
doned: the ihalf-melodramatlc, Btory
which la the basis of the books written
for iMr. UeKoven. He has tried to
wrlile a comic opera and at the same
time to avoid the cheap, burlesque wiilh
which tn some other works he has
thrown a top to the gallery Cerberus.
The treatment of Cleopatra as a school
girl Is of course pure burlesque, but It
has the logical basis which Is the foun
dation of genuine humor. As Mr.
-Smith says, at some time the siren of
Egypt was innocent of love- and here
she Is shown "In maiden meditation
fanKjy-free.' It 'Is hoped toy those Inter
ested 4n -the opera that the novelty of
the story and the strength of the comic
situations will make the libretto an at
tractive adjunct to 'Mr. Herbert's ad
mirable music.

If you were to call at 27 Front avenue,
you would find a pleasant elderly lady,
Mrs. Captain Henesy by name. Her kind
ly smile and Joyous manner are to no
small extent due to the escape she has
had. Her own words can better describe
her rescue and ope can easily understand
her present happy condition when they
realize what she has gone through. She
says: "About live months ago I had an
attack of sickness which lasted for a week
and since that time I have been subject
at Intervals to similar attacks, some of
which were longer In duration. It Is hard
for me to describe how I suffered. The
pain would commence In my head, after
which It would seem Jo pass down my
body and settle In my back, my sides
ached, my bsck ached, and I had a feeling
of great distress In the bowyls. The In
creased pain, which seemed, to come from
lying down, would be almost unbearable,
my face and stomach would bloat up and I
could hardly stand on my feet, dizziness
made It almost Impossible; this feeling
was always with me even after the vio
lence of the attack passed over. The last
attack I had was the worst, and was so
bad I would not have been able to tell this
story but for Doan's Kidney Pills. As
soon as I commenced their use I found Im
mediate relief. The pain in my back and
sides left me and the disslnrsa went with
It; the bloating In my face and body disap
peared and all distress In my bowels was
gone. ' I have great faith In Doan's Kid
ney Pills; In a short time they did a great
deal more for m than all ths plasters snd
medicines which I ksd retorted to In seek
ing relief snd cure. I bops slwsys to be
able to procure them." '.
