Ida Stauhopc, me Widow," in "The Prince of pllsrn." never expects to And happiness from Infatuatjon for any man; but she means to find it. and Imagines that a title will bring it to her. She Beeks a coronet which belongs to the Earl of Dexminster, Who Is only too anxious to bestow it on her and transport her with her fortune to British sol). Betsy is duly elated at the Earl's proposal when a new will Is discovered. Old Peter Kllllgrew, before his death, had determined to put up the bars against fortune hunters, and his method was to decree In his will that should hU widow marry a second time, the happy man must be a na tive born American citizen. If she should take for a second husband any man not an American, then the fortune should pass to a nephew. She first threatens to go Into a convent, but a few moments later is overjoyed by discovering a way out of conforming to Jhe will, and launches herself on one of the most extraordinary and complicated matri monial adventures that ever con- gulf stream, that la, ny tho temper ature. The present warm spell, If the captain told trifly, mlust be duo to genial ocean winds; but what warm ed the ocean? That it Is all inscru table does not slack the ardor of gratitude for such a foretaste of spring. It will be hard now, If the North has only harbored her strength against us, and will bite us as keenly as the South has kissed us gently. The popular superstition Is that there is so much cold to come, and that it will come one time or another before the crow shall change his call and the orioles arrive.

Miss Montgomery gave a thoroughly satisfactory presentation of tho diffi cult role, and proved that she was artist enough to keep the character well- in hand even in this crisis. This is the first time that Miss Montgomery has appeared in this city as a star, though she has fre quently been seen here before In minor parts. Her work has always been of such a finished quality that It was no surprise to the large audience that saw her last night that she made a success, of the part in every way. The roll of Zasa Is one. that puts an actress on her 'mettle. She must suit her temper to varying moods. and all must be done with artistic finish, or the result is worse than bad. it Is to Miss Montgomery's credit that she Is never less than tho artist, and that her Interpretation of the character of the woman who threw herself wantonly away, and was. finally reclaimed before It was entirely too late, is all that could be desired. Miss Montgomery's support Is entirely adequate. Frank .Sylvester, who appears as Bernard Dufrene. gives an excellent characterisation of the part, fend Chas. M. Seay Is convinc ing In the pert of Oasoart. Clara Everett and Lillian Volkmar are good In their respective roles. "THE PRINCE OF PILSEN." At the Academy of Music to-morrow tight the tuneful "familiars" of that most virile of musical comedies, as charming as Anna Day portrays her In Ernest Shlpman's gorjreous production of ".When Knighthood Was In Flower," theA smalt wonder that Charles Brandon should have risked his pleblan head to win her. And by the same token. If Brandon was a cavalier as courageous and ehlvalrlc as Alfred Swenson makes him, what. excuse has history to of fer for overlooking persons so en gaging. Surely any modern Mary would barter royal power to wed so brave a wooer. Surely any twentieth century Brandon would renounce the: kingly favor "to have and to hold" so sweet a maid. For, though cus toms and costumes may change with the centuries, fair women and brUve men. even In these prosaic days of Edward, will, on the altar of love, make the same sacrifice they did In the more romantic times of Henry the Eighth. LILLIAN RUSSELL IN "THE BUTTERFLY." In "The Butterfly," the nrw comedy, which will be seen at the Academy on January 22, Miss Lil lian Russell plays Mrs. Elizabeth Kllllgrew, the young widow of old Peter Kllllnrew, "who gathered up a great many millions by stealing rail roads and Invested a few thousand In salvation by supporting a church," At the opening of the play, the financier has been dead Just a year and a day. ana nia neauiirul young widow, "Betsy." Is blossoming out of her mourning Into brilliant colors, Betsy has never been In love and without fortune, which results In a ridiculous and exciting tangle of Ircumstances, In which Betsy dls overs that Bhe does not want a coronet at all, but something far bet ter the love of her nominal hus band. She learns that there is some thing better than being a butterfly, nd the curtain falls on a very senti mental conclusion. Mr. Joseph Brooks has surronuded Miss Russell with an exceptionally good cast. In the company arc: Eu gene Ormonde, John Flood. Frederick Tlden. John Jack, Charles Lamb. Roland H. Hill. Isabel Richards, Kate Griffith and Rosalie de Vaux. The gowns worn by Miss Russell are creations. In every sense of the word. Mere man cannot describe them. The scenes of the comedy are laid In New York ane Saratoga and the scenic settings arc very nleaglnr to the eye. -'.Mi-V M ; ii it .

William Duncun's announce ment In yesterday's psper.that he would preach last night on "Sin in Silka: Our City's Greatest Peril. Not the Blind Tiger," attracted ', largo audience, ' He announced his "text or pretext, as ' you . will," as ; follows: Thus salth. the Lord God of Israel, there la an accursed .thing in tne midst of thee, O Israel: thou cans hot' atand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed ; tnmg from among you." Mr. Duncan prefaced nis sermon by saying that, if what he was going to say would save some boy from drink and other sins, he would preach the s'ermoni even theugn he knew it would cost him his position and. the favor of his people. What he wouia say would come out of a deep Sense of duty and after mucn prayer, inis city, he said, is a lovely, a lovable city: the best governed city in which he ever lived, .and. In many respects, the cleanest. "And yet it isn't the city which John saw coming down from heaven." Its peril is not In blind tigers; there Is no question but they will be stamped out of existence, for they are under the ban of public opinion. The peril Is not in the low dives, but in the high holes, it's a high heeled, gilt-edge peril, a siren voice that lures while It waits and gathers people In Its ugly clutches and to Its damnable black heart; in other words, sin In silks. There are four types of it: the theatre, the card table, the wine cup and the dance hall. Of the thousands of church mem bers In this city, there were about 350 at the prayer meetings last Wednesday night. The next night Mr. Duncan stood on the street and watched the living stream, by 10 s. 20's, 60's, 100's, and even to the 1.000 mark, en route to the theatre. The theatre Is taking the time, money and energy which ought to go Into the channels of the Church. There are young men who can neither pay their debts nor their church dues, but who can pay $1 and $2 for theatre seats. Many of the theatre people, the players, are not virtuous. There Is Immodest and Immoral dressing, or undressing, on the stage of our own city. When a play of that character Is billed, then will come tho big crowd. As to cards, he said that they were associated In his mind sr a boy with blood, murder, the whiskey bottle, theft, the vile oath, and the brothel. Tarda for a thousand years have been the devil's tools. To play them for prizes Is only refined gambling. When we catch a boy In a barn playing cards, we know what to do with him: tj(, I but what are we to do with a woman who piays cards on a fashionable street?

The bare trees were contradictory of the atmos phere; they were as guests at the fete without the wedding garments. Doubtless the bee hives dispatched scouts to report upon the flowers. All day the streets were gay with people, pedestrians sauntering and dosens and dosens of teams and auto mobiles. Windows were open, that the wind might play with the curtains. Homesteaders sat on their verandas and front steps, saluting their friends gaily. It was a festival for children. The laughter of the rtttle shavers was as delicious .as the sunlight and the sweet winds thst bore it. Former countrymen rode- the length of the car line and struck for the woods to get sweet gum to-chew and to renew old friendships with nature. The day was like a smile from heaven.
