Travelling In Switzerland.

Criterion Theatre . —Mr . Charles Wyndham has made a hit in the revival of Justice McCarthy ' s lively political comedy " The Candidate , " and crowded houses greet the wily Lord Oldacre with roars of laughter every evening . This is not surprising because not only in this character is Mr . Wyndham seen at his best , but ho is so ably supported by Mr . George Giddens and Miss Fanny Coleman

that is difficult to say who has the better part to play . The scene in the second act where Oldacre is called upon for details of his candidature before he has arranged the particulars with his accomplice is most excellent . We still think that tho appearance of Arabella in " propria personse" would enhance the effect of the

denouncement , where tho hypocritical Goodeve is exposed , but let that pass . Miss Mary Moore is as charming as ever as Dorothy , and Mr . C . W . Somerset enacts her lover to perfection , while Miss Mirian Clements as Lady Oldacre , and Miss Pattie Browne as Mrs . Mallett assist in making the piece run smoothly . The single scene of iVifi -mnrnir-K-f room at Oldacre is charminc .

Travelling In Switzerland.

The great points about Freemasonry are that it is not free , aud it has nothing to do with masonry . It is anything but the easiest thing in the world , even if you can affard the heavy fees , to get admission into a Masonic Lod <* c . A man needs a pretty whito record as far as the members of tho Lodge art ! concerned , to escapo tho fatal black balls which ostracise him from the brotherhood .

What are the benefits of Masonry ? Just ask a Mason ? Yon won't get much out of him if he his faithful to his vows . Cassell's " Concise Cyclopaedia" tells us that " according to its own peculiar language , the association is founded on tho practice of social and moral virtue . " Nobleobjects—would that they wero more common of ! Also It the

among the great mass humanity , " professes exereiso of charity in the most extended sense , and demands from the brotherhood truth , mutual help , and brotherly love . " Again , splendid ! If those bo the objects of Freemasonry , the sooner the whole world become members of the Craft the sooner will tho milleniuni arrive . — " Ilkeston Advortiser . "
