"Roanoke," at night "The 81avea of Russia" will be the bill Ladle* will be admitted free to the p, rformance with every paid 30 cent tick et. '•The Man-’o-War’s Man.” a melodrama cf the ultra sort, and written to tickle the sensibilities and excite the eolhusUam of the god who patronizes the nailery, waa given at the theater last night and yeeterday afternoon to fair houses. The jilay la not strong, but there are come things In It that are pretty and pictur esque The scenery Is good and the com pany Is equal to those presenting melo dramas of the class. Some eight or ten centuries ago the church thought It could both sttract and Instruct the masses of the people by means of the drama, a form of amuse ment not much heard of since tho days of ancient Greece and Home, and preserv ed through the Middle Age,* only by the monks The clergy therefore turned the atilcal managers, and presented curious and grotesqu* plays In which the devil was always a d;a|erate villain who ''got the worst f It” In the last act. It la a rather remarkable fact that although the clergy originally pot the devil on the stag,-, they have In Inter years been com plaining of hla presence there. Whatever the truth of this may be. It Is quite cer tain that thl# early precedent has result ed In every dramatic devil being made the villain of the play, a proceeding which seems hardly fair when It ts considered that his satantc map sty has not te en al lowed to give Ills side of the case. It Is probable, according to quite general ti llef, that circumstances over which he has no control prevent him from telling his own story. However that may lie. modesty would have prevented him from picturing himself In such glowing and fascinating colors us Marie Corelli has used In her much taiked-of mid widely read novel, "The Sorrows of Hsian.” In this story of the devil on earth. Miss Co relli has used in her former conceptions, all revolutionised, cf the world regarding the Prince of Darkness. She has. for the first time In the history of literal tire of the drama, made him truly a fallen an gel. and the character she assigns to him during hie visit to the earlh In the form of a mortal Is startling In Its originality and striking In Its probability. It was In evitable that such a novel, translated Into almost every tongne and read In America to the extent of thousands of copies, con taining many unique and strangely In teresting characters snd crowded with sit uations of dramatic nature, should l>e turned at once Into stage form The pro duction matte by Win. A Hrady, which Is to tw given at tho theater Friday and Saturday. with special matinee Saturday. Is the only one In this country, and the popularity of Mario Corelli In America would indicate that In "The Borrow* of Satan," the owners have one of the best pieces of dramatic property on tour this season. "Sherlock Holmes.” as brought to life by the experienced art of William Gillette, may be said to be a detective belonging to the present "age of electricity." The elec tric touch of the dramatist was needed to give a semblance of real life to Dr Doyle'# character Hla lightness of touch ts evi denced In the details of stage crafl Ills humor would save a much more melodra matic work. The play Is wholly and com pletely original with Gillette, although the main character. Sherlock Holmes. Is enough like Dr Doyles to satisfy those who admire tho Ideal detective Mr. Gil lette's method, which ts easier to com mend than to analyse, leaves the subject without a hint of gloom. It Is all buoyan cy. One views the burglars, cut-throats and thugs with no more horror than ts felt In the presence of tho arch villains of ■he Shakespearean drama Plclorially. It ts a triumph for Gillette, who has given the stage more Inventive work as to de tails In stags pictures than any author In tbs country. The play will bo seen here next Monday, Oct. 1.

Owing lo th* hostility of the French |<eople this was atclctly kept from them. But the French government was duly notified each lime by th* German ambassador, and assigned the cream of ll* secret aervlca forces to assure the safety of the Emperor from the moment ho entered French territory until he left 11. Inevitably Ihe protecting agents gel to know much about ihelr wards which the high personages themselves wguld rather keep private. But It seldom happens that damaging stories become public properly through gny Indiscreet talk on the part of these officials. Men and women em ployed In this delicate and confidential branch of service are persons of exception al skill, and generally of Incorruptible fidelity. Many of them, especially on the continent of Europe, can s;>eak five or six languages with fluency. They havn to be able lo |day lo perfection any role that their varied assignment# may require. They must be able lo wear a dress suit, as If lo the manner horn, and make a re putable figure In a ball room, and be ca llable of looking and demaanlng themselves like typical toughs of th# slums If occa sion demand*. They are exiwedlngly well paid, drawing Ihe salaries of successful professional m< n. and when they are re tired after faithful service 11 In customary to continue thrlr salaries. Of course, the vtry slight**! indiscretion brings down the aavsraat tabuk*. If they are found lo have deliberately "blabbed 11 anything they havo learned through the exercise of their office they are Irretrievably disgraced. In aoms countries summarily punished for violation of ihelr professional oath. Their work Is rendered except lot silly ar duous by the constant strain upon the nerves that It Imposes. They have to be always on the watch. The moment In which they relax Ihelr attention may be the very moment of a fatal attack. And, of course, the mere fact of a criminal even gelling near enough lo a royal tier son lo make an attempt upon his life means Ihe professional extinction of the secret aervlca man Nothing la held to ex plain away his fault; he Is there to see that no attack be made; If one Is made while he ta on duly he Is at one* retired even If not put out of the way, as the Russian officials disposed of those who failed lo for see ansi prevent the blowing up of ihe summer palace, w herein, though Alexander I escaped to <ll* of another bomb a little biter, a large number of peo ple were killed or maimed. This stern Justice has a powerful In fluence upon the police. On the occa sion of a elate ceremony with the pas sage of some royal personage there are often sudden outbreaks of trouble In the crowd You will see two men suddenly dlsputlng. come lo Mows; both will prob ably he arrested by an ordinary uni formed policeman That often means that a secret service man In disguise sus pects some Individual whom he has ob served paeked-ln with the hulk of the people. He has passed the word lo an other secret service mar. nearby, and one of them has deliberately picked a quar rel with Ihe suspected man. perhaps by knocking off hts hat or Jostling him rude ly.

The Bake ot Norfolk a* a Suspicion* Character. The Duke of Norfolk, who. by heredi tary right, ranks first among all Ihe Eng. Ilsh nobility, was once Ihe victim of a mistake In a c*#e of this kind. The queen was passing In state down Plccadlly. The huge crowd* which lined Ihe route hap pened to he especially thick In front of ■Norfolk House, where a party of llte greatest ladies of the land had been In. vltt to see Ihe pageant. The Duka |* a peppery little man. who seems lo have little sense of hla personal dignity, and who Is known for his utter Indifference to clothes. Except when In his slate uniform or hla shabby evening drew*, he looks more like a gambler In hard luck than like the premier peer of England. On the occasion referred to. as Ihe royal cortege drew near. Ihe duke perceived that his guests would see little or nothing of ihe show. He hounded oui of the gates of hts house and struck briskly Into the crowd. Intending to ask • poUre officer to thin the people away a little. In a mo rn. nt he was roughly grasped by a strong hand; "Who are you ashovln 1 of? 11 asked hi* captor, who looked like a costermong er. The duke explained onarllngly that he wanted to steak to an officer. ••Well, you'll speak to the hofficer when th# Old Body's gone by." replied the other without relaxing hts hold. And so It was; the Duke a guests saw even more of the "Old Lady" than he did He was kapt In durance vita for tan min ute* or *o—by the disguised poltc* agent When he was released and entered his own gala, ruffled and hot. the man who had grappled with him raw his mistake and made exp'anatlon The affair ended by his drinking a cup of champagne to the Duke 1 * health. But in Ihe club* and drawing rooms people laughed for a month at tha discomfiture of the heredi tary grand marshal of England. "The agent was entirely In the right," wa# M Leplne's comment upon the alory. "No precaution can tie excessive ” And dcptie all these precautions the world, within a very brief period, haa had to deplore the assassination of the Km pr.-s* of Austria, cloaely surrounded by protector* though he was; the murder of King Humbert, and the attempt* to kill Ihe Prince of Wales, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria and the Bhah of Persia.
