THETIIEATER AND ITS STABS

Minstrels with Their Sons, Jokes and Specialties Announced for English's, Paring the Week Amusemeivt-Seekers Can Choose Between the Rising Young Actress Julia Marlowe, and Other Attractions. Tho Gorman Minstrels, who, by their frequent performances here. Lave established themselves as favorites, will play at English's next "Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Since its last appearance hero the company Las been reorganized and fctrengtheued, and now gives a performance, tho chief featnre of which is the novelty of tho various acts. For several years the Gorman brothers, John, James and George, 'were the principal members of the Havcrly minstrels, who made, a world-wide reputation, and much of tho credit of the excellence of the performances they gave was due to tho efforts of these young men, who invented and arranged the most of the acts. Since they have started a company of their own, they have met with unusual success. The claim is not made for the company that it is tho largest traveling, but that it is composed of talented performers, who give an entertainment of new and attractive features. It is said to be especially strong in singers and comedians this season. Mr. George Gorman has, within a comparatively few months, become one of the most versatile and original of the Mack-faced comedians. Seats will be on sale to-morrow, with no advance in prices. Mr. Charles L. Davis, better known as 'Alvin Joslin." from Laving played a piece of that name for years, and Laving made fame and fortune by it, will play at English's next Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee in his new comedy drama, "One of the Old Stock," which has been very much of a success in Lis Lands. It will be given a special scenic mounting which has been highly commended elsewhere. Tho play is of a very familiar, mold, largely domestic, and presenting the old Vermont farmer in positions which gave him opportunity for comedy and pathos. The effects in the latter direction are spoken of as a distinct departure for Mr. Davis from anything ho has ever done, and his comedy is also said to bo of abetter qualit'. Miss Julia Marlowe, the young legitimate actress, who is being more talked and written about than any other woman on the titage, has been engaged for three performances at tho Grand the latter part of this week. Although but a young girl, scarcely twenty-one yet, with less than a year's experience as a star, she has advanced in her profession with a rapidity which is almost without parallel in the history of the stage. Her growth in popular favor Las been fairly, if speedily, made, and she Las no Listory full of romance or nnusnal events upon which an agent can build interesting stories. Sho was simply a voting girl who believed she could act. and coming forward in the old repertoire, challenged comparison with the best actresses of the present and the immediate past. The dramatic critics Lave, without exception, given her nraise, wLich, under the circumstance of her position, is simply remarkable. Her opening audiences in every large city Lave been small but appreciative, and the closing audiences in those same cities have tested the capacity of the theater in which she appeared. The receipts for her lirst performance in Philadelphia were $(17, and those of the last night of her short stay in that city were nearly 1,200. Her success Las been won solely by lier superior merits as an actress. Miss Marlowe will play Julia in The Hunchback' at the Grand next Friday evening and Saturday matinee, and Viola m '-Twelfth Night" Saturday night. She Las the support of Charles Barron and an excellent company. Seats will be on 6ale Wednesday. One of the popular specialty companies that is out this season, the Magnani family's, will play at the Park all this week. At the Lead of it are the Magnani brothers, four in number, who were brought over from Paris by the Kiralfys. They do a unique musical act, in which they extract music, and good music at that, from almost every conceivable "everyday" object. They will introduce here, for the tirst time, the new instruments, inaccaronionlione and the hunt horns. Besides the Magnanis. the company includes a number of excellent specialty performers, among them the burlesque artists, Harry Edwards and Daisy Kernell: tho character comedians, W. S. Campbell and M. E. Xibbe; Miss Julia Kelly. Brazil and Alton, the acrobats; Jtffra Ward and Harry Yokes, black-faced comedians; Blanche Walworth, the vocalist; Komleo and Kemere, the European gymnasts; Hannibal and Mina, musical artists, and others. The engagement begins to-morrow afternoon and continues all week. The new Eden Musee. refitted and refurnished until it no longer resembles its former self, will be opened to the public this week. All the old tableaux, features, figures, etc., have been removed, and the place now presents an attractive apearance in its new dress. The principal attraction will be the collection of wax figures, which Prof. Morgan had made in Berlin and Paris. Ther represent all the monarchs and celebrities of Europe, Queen Victoria, Emperor William, the Czar, Pope Leo XIII, Parnell, Boulanger, Bismarck, Von Moltke and the rest. The collection cost several thousand dollars, and has drawn large crowds in all the principal cities of tho country, It will bo on exhibition at the Musco daily, every afternoon and evening. Friday evening, at Crawfordsville, the tableaux from Ben-Hur were presented at Musio Hall and were repeated last night. The costumes worn were elegant, having been purchased in Chicago. Tno reading ' selections were by Mrs. Lida Hood Talbott. There were ten tableaux, three Laving two two scenes each. They were: "Three Wise Men in the Desert," with tents and camels; "ccue at Joppa Gate, Jerusalem;" "Thre Wbe Men Before King Herod," with tho King on his throne, servants and soldiers with spears; "Chamber on House Top and House of II ur" (two scenes): "Ben-Hur and Axnus on Board Galley," with a song, and the persons sitting in a boat rowing on the blue waters of tho lake: "Grove of Daphne," two scenes; "Orchard of Palms," two scenes; "Palace of Idernee, with Ben-Hur and Thord." "Home of BenHur," "Departure of Iris," and two scenes of the "Chariot Kace." Gen. Lew Wallace was present, and the raintings, costumes and sittings were prepared according to his directions. The management have secured permission of Harper A: Bro. for this production of tableaux, and will present them at Greencastle, Terre Haute. Cincinnati, . Indianapolis, Chicago, and other cities. Gossip of the Stage. An "Uncle Tom's Cabin" troupe with five Topsies. gave a performance ot "Hamlet," recently, with six Hamlets and twelve ghosts. "The Two Sisters," a new domestic com-rdy-drama by Denman Thompson and George Keyer. authors of "The Old Homestead." will be seen at the Grand the first part of next week. The Carleton opera company, which is larger and stronger than ever this year, will be at the Grand the latter part of next week in the new opera, "Mynheer Jan," by the authors of "Erminie." Sadie Martinot has settled her differences with the Aronsons, and will be seen with the New York Casino Company at the openingof next season. Mr. A "Nadjy" to run through the Arouson expects ie summer. contract with Mr. Palmer comes to a close May 1. Harry Miuer has contracted with Augustin Daly to take the tour of Wm. Terms and Miss Millward in "Roger L'Hocte." Daly has been employed to engage the comand direct the production of the flay

Miss Mane Burroughs will go starring next season in a piece from the pens of if. A. Bvrne nd Arthur Wallack. Tho plav is called "Gwendoliu." Miss Burroughsls

at Niblo's next October. He Las been at work on the translation of the play and on the models for the scenery, which will closely resemble that now being used in Paris. According toMme. Modjeska's resolve, she will not play with Mr. Booth unless all the theaters to which she is bound will release her. The objection of any house will be considered as binding herto her original contract.

Charle9 Ainsworth produced at Sheridan, Friday evening, his play "Sentenced for I,ife Jr It is of tho sensational order, and

shows that the young author, who plays the leading role. Jack Hanley, has quite a marked individuality, both as a playright ana actor. two or three other pla3s. Mr. Lawrence Barrett is now engaging a strong company to support these two great artists. During a performance of "Boccaccio," at tho Chestnut-street Opera-house, in Philadelphia, last Thursday, by the McCaull Opera Company, a countryman, who, with his family, occupied places in the front row of tho orchestra, leaned over and asked ono of tho violinists to point out Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett to him. China gollerald: Miss Julia Marlowe bears closest resemblance in dramatic tempto-a-inent and aptitude to Adelaide Neilson of any of the actresses who have come upon the stage since the death of that unfortunate woman. When she is few years older we doubt not Miss Marlowe will possess much the same charm and character of magnetism that made MissNeilson popular. Manager Charles E. Locke has secured the tenor, Julius Perotti, now at the Metropolitan Opera-house, New York, for a concert tour, with Miss Emma Juch, to begin immediately after the opera season ends in New York. The organization will be known as the Juch-Perotti Operatic Concert Company, and "Faust" and Trovatore" will supply the operatic scenes, to be 6ung in costume at each concert. It is stated that Perotti receives $1,000 per concert. Fanny Davenport has started a new craze now. When out driving, she carries a small Japaneso hand-warmer, which is her substitute for a muff. This new toy, which never fails to excite curiosity, is a tiny stoves whose dimensions may be six inches by six and three-quarters of an inch. Silver is the material and brown ivory. The frame work is dark silver and curiouslywrought medalions of ivory are set as panels in tho lid. It is a pretty bit of jewelry, and is heated by a carbon pencil. Benjamin, the autograph-dealer, says that Bernhardt, Terry aDd Langtry's letters fetch the highest pricesnowauays. A Patti autograph is worth 3, and a Potter note $1.25. A good specimen of Lilli Lehman's handwriting can be had for the price of twenty beers, while the signature of Charlotte Cnshman brings as much as $10. Marie Jansen, who is a lazy writer, is among the rarest autographs of comic-opera favorites, with the exception of one, who cannot write at all. The autograph of the greatest queen of comic opera is absolutely worthless, either on a contract, a note or on a letter. NEWS FOU THE BOYS. An Old Mountaineer Who Knew Nothing About Current Events What lie Learned. Atlanta Constitution. He was a tall, long-drawn-out specimen of the mountaineer, whose presence is familiar about United States court during moonshine trials. His beard was strongly striped with gray, his long form was noticeably bent, and his clothes were in keeping with the great wool hat and the heavy russet boots that completed his costume. As he stood up against ono of the steam heaters at the Kimball, he seemed the very picture of discomfort. Some drummers soon surrounded him Lo was sometLing new to them. "Yaas," he said, with a drawl that savored of the illicit distillation of good corn liquor. "Yaas, reckon you all's Laving lots o' sport with me jes because I'm from the mountains. I don often get here to Atlanty Laven't been Lore 6ince Alec Stephens war Governor. Alec he wuz the best of them all, he wuz, an' I hear he's dead. Tho boys np in Ole Kabun will bo powerful t.orry to hear that, I tell you, for they all loved Aleck," and the old man wiped away something very much like a tear. "I see Blaine s going in tho Cabinet," suggested a little guano drummer from Charleston. "Blaine who's Blaine?" asked the old man. as he looked from one to another to see if they were joking with him. "Surely you know Blaine, the great Republican!" "'Publicans an' sinners. But what's ary 'publican doin in oflico nowf These yere depety ma'shals tells us that the 'publicans ain't never goin' to get ofticeagm. They sez as how the Dimicrats has come to stay an' we can still our liquor without bein' troubled. But I reckon they lied, for they brought me here. So the 'publicans is back? Well, that is uews for the boys. I'm right glad to come to Atlanty this time." They asked him about Mills, and Randall, and Cleveland, but he "wa'n't acquainted with any of them fellers." Then ho thought they were joking with him. and, slipping through the crowd that Lad formed around him, the old mountaineer went off to sleep in a wagon-yard. A Victim of Cigarettes. New York Special to Baltimore American. There are few writers who were more generally read than Philip Welch, who died here yesterday from a cancer of the throat the consequence, it is said, of smoking cigarettes, lie was a most prolific writer of jokes in the form of a dialogue. Some of these were published in book form, under the title of The Tailor-made Girl." They had a wide sale here and in England. The greater part of his work was done on newspapers and magazines. At one time ho was contributing for no less than eight publications, besides writing for the Sun his column of "Oueer Wrinkles." He was addicted to the ciearette habit in its worst form. Shortly after having the end of his tongue cut off. he said to a company of friends that he was sure that the cancer would break out again if he continued the use of cigarettes, and at that moment brushed the ashes from one ho was then smoking, and said, cheerfully: "But I can't stop it now, Tho habit has grown on mo so." Ho was most agreeable as a companion, but tho first operation had so weakened the power of his tongue that it was with difficulty that he could bo understood. For that reason he was not as talkative as he would otherwise have been. Most of Lis tLougLts found expression in the dialoguo style of writing, ot which, as a form of humorous expression, he was a master. Ono of the secrets of his work was the turning of every conversation, wherever heard, into a funny dialoguo. He always noted down his thoughts, and afterward put them to paper. He earned a handsome income more than $7,000 a year by writing these little paragraphs, which were worth each from $3 up. He was a unostcutatious fellow, quiet and retinng, but ho understood all or the vanities and follies of human nature. How Much a Frog Know. Forest and Stream. . Toads, in the presence of snakes, usually remain perfectly still. In this is their only safety, tor did they make tho least movement they would immediately be caught. I have known a hungry snake lie waiting for over an hour for a frog to move, and even push with the nose to 6tir Lim up. TLis has been called "snake charming," and indeed it looks like it, but tho toad is the charmer and the snake the charmee. I remember one day I dropned a toad in the midst of a pit of snakes I had in my back yard. He at once becarao perfectly still, though surrounded by moro than a dozen hungry snakes. There was a circlo of fierce heads and glaring eyes around him, but he would not move. The circle narrowed until the protruding tongues almost touched Lim. vet Lc was immovable. Just then I was called away for over half an hour, but on returning found the toad, in grave dignity, still holding the fort by most masterly inactivity. This lowly, helpless creature, strong only by adherence to a natural faith thus battling enemies numerous and powerful, brought Daniel before the mental vision more vividly than Rivier's celebrated picture. Crushing a Statesman. Lincoln (XeM Journal The correct pronunciation of Representative Towle's name is "Towel."

Mysterious shell thou murmurest of the main, And tho an exile from tny native snore, Some tints of splendor thou dost yet retain, And or thy home thou smgest evermore. Interpreting thy sweet and gentle song. I view the burnished hosoin or tno oeep: The sunny sails like white clouds flecked along The far horizon in a dreamless sleep. I see the mountain and majestic cliff: The ranging seagull in her happy flight; The careful fowler and the dancing skilf, And lifted oar reflecting in the light The smiling waters like tho fairest glass. And giving back the beauty of the day: The drifting seaweed and the shoals that pass Like dreams of Idleness upon their way; The fisherman amid the tangled sedge. And hauling In the loaded net with care; The samphire gath'rer o'er the frowning ledge. By idle ropes suspended in the air; The band of children thro the livelong day. And golden bars of mist along the west; The clan King water-fowls npou their way Unto the reedy shelter or tho nest. All this I see. and fairer dreams arise From thy sweet strain, thou singer, sad and lone I view again the light of happy skies. And vales and hills with flowers overblown. And thus, like thee, afar from childhood's shore And all its grace, together let us learn A lay of love that echoes evermore. And sing of days that never can return. Alonzo L, Bice.

For an hour, for a day. For whatever time you may, Rich, or poor, or great, or small. Love me much or not at all. "Love me little, love me long" Tis a cold and w orldly song, Fit for politics and trade. Fit for any worthless Jade; But with me, whate'er befall, Love me much or not at alL Not with careless, light half heart, Had to meet and glad to part; Rut with heart, and soul, and all. Love me much or not at alL Let not thy love-light, faint and far. Shine with dim radiance, like a star, Let it blaze brightly, though it fallLove me much or not at alL "Love me little, love me long" This is not love, thou lying song; Such love Is but a trifling thing. Set to music, bantering; So say I, whate'er befall. Love me much or not at all. Richard K. Lyon. Written for the Sunday Journal. My Ten of Gold. fiood-bye, old pen my pen of gold! What thrilling tales your nibs have told! What radiant wit these diamond points Have Hashed from depths of finger joints. Could all the tears thy power hast wrung From stubborn hearts, like pearls bo strung, A necklace rich distress might wear-Salt-water gems, as fresh as rais! Good-bye, old pen! my helper true. What happy hours I've passed with yon! Wbile others slept, we toiled and laughed. Inspired by hope and the tea we quaffed. I toss you now what did you sayt Was that yourvoicel Some other day! My books! My let! Do I think! No! With, them you stay or with them go! Ah, well, old friend, your fate and mine Are linked indeed. Let's not repine. Some day my brain will blunter be. Than your poor points can ever be! Some day my hands will sure bo crossed More hopeless far than yours, and lost From earth my soul, unless, perchance. It lives with yours in sweet romance! Carlisle B. Holding. Detroit, Mich. Written for the Sunday Journal. Winter Evening. A crimson disk down golden skies. The tempered sun slips, soft and dim; And sheer the distant forest lies Across his rosy rim. The drowsy sparrows thickly dot The clustered cedars, chirping low; And evening weaves a mantle shot With shining flakes of snow. They float and lie in lightest drifts. And wreathe tho leaning lattice screen, While fitfully tho night wind lifts And sifts them iu between. Far, far above, diffused and faint, A gleaming silvery halo hints Where hidden moonbeams softly paint Their opalescent tints. Through frosty silence ebb and flow All distant murmurs, caught and wrought To sweet, clear cadence, tingling so Into my in moat thought. Ah, winter! Almost do you steal My heart to-nhrht: such rare address, Such gracious, skillful arts conceal Your cold relentlessncss. EvsJeen Stein. Written for the Sunday Journal. To Fortune. I dream of trees That mosses drare, Of great magnolias pale;. And seen through these. Like crinkled crape. The myrtle's rosy veil. O Fortune fair. From lazy tides. From drowsy, unknown sea. From calms where'er My galleon rides. Send, send Its sails to me! The blossoms blow, The robin waits. Where blue skies laugh at rain; There, there I'll go! Through summer's gates I'll seek the suu again! Evaleen Stein. Written lor the Sunday Journal. Matin Belli. Be!ls in the early pray of wintry dawn. Bolls that a sleeping world half wakes to hear. Ring faint across the dim white wastes of snow.

Peep as the sound of buried bells at sea. That surging tides sween In and out ot play. Up through the rulsiug air those notes are borne. Do they ring out of childhood, where I stray In conscious dreams! So sweet and far they sound. As far as childhood, sweet as days of yore. Oh. holy bell, each seems an angel's tone At early dawn awaking men to prav. And with a rraycr I sink to sleep once more. Albion Mary Fellows. EVASVILLE, Ind.

AMERICAN CORN IN PARIS.

Plan for Increasing the Market of the Great Native Cereal. Indianapolis Corn Miller. Tho plan of the exhibit involves tho erection of a separate pavilion, graceful and airy in stylo and unique in purpose. The roof, columns and chimneys will be built of the corn fodder, tho interior and exterior will ho entirely covered with corn-stalk and car. The red, white and deep yellow of tho corn, the brown of tho Forgbtmi and tho dead green of tho corn blades will relievo the interior and combine to produce an admirable architectural effect, and when under thobright glare of electric liehts will certainly he very beautiful. The decorative possibilities of the corn plant can hardly bo imagined. The columns, balustrades and lattice-work are all to bo formed of the ears of corn and leaves. Tho frieze over the columns and tho two panels next to tho towers are to be formed of mosaics, producing the same e fleet rs the antique l'ompeian marble mosaics; instead of the small nieces of marble the grains of variedcclored corn will be used. There will be emblems of husbandry and mottoes signiheaut of the fertility of tho soil, all in corn, and will show one of the great sources of wealth of our vast country, and this exhibit will un?uestionably be one of tho most beautiul and novel, as well as the most appropriate, at tho Paris Exposition. Tho national Hags of tho United States and France will bo displayed from each of the main towers, and streamers will tly from tho roof containing conspicuously the. names of tho great corn-producing States, namely: Illinois, Iowa, Indiana. Ohio, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. Tho shields with tho coat-of-arms of each of the abovenamed States, all worked in corn, will be hung on tho walls of the pavilion. It is intended to display photographs representing the interior and exterior of our corn exchanges and such other works as may be interesting in this connection, a colossal map of tho United States, areas of color showing districts under grain culture, and statistical charts descriptive of the amount of product and export trade in the same. An American kitchen will be established in tho pavilion in which will be prepared, in American ovens and ranges, all the known preparations from com cerealine, cercalintf1 flakes and maizena, corn bread, corn cakes of various kinds, hominy, samp, corn starch puddings, and in many other varieties of form, to the number ot over one hundred. The cooking will be done in the presence of the visitors, and will be of the kind familiar to American housewives; tho ranges will bo so placed as to compel tho cook to face the public, and the cooked samples will bo distributed free of charge to the visitors. It is also the intention lo give a ten-minute lecture by a competent man at the end of each hour, every day during tho exhibition, on the known merits of Indian corn, the mode of preparing the same, cooking and general hcalthfuluess of the article. A profusion of pamphlets in the English, French and German languages, fully describing and telling how to cook tho staple, will also be distributed. Readers will observe how important in its results 6uch an exhibit must be. It will expand enormously tho demand for American corn, of corn goods, and of corn-milling machinery. It is an enterprise in which every on-i who has to do with corn is especially interested in being a success. All are invited, therefore, to aid in any manner they can toward that end. It is a private enterprise: the government can't furnish means to help it along, though it commends it, and it will practically bo under the direction of the united States commission. Donations from millers are requested; anybody who has specimens of corn of curious formation, or variety, are requested to scud them to the oilico of Col. Murphy, at 50 Wall street. New York, properly placarded with the address of sender, and in that form they will bo placed in the exhibit. Let everybody who can, do what they can to make this display creditable to its im portance, and the great good it must bring A Speech at Sorosis. Providence Journal. There was some love music, some signing nightingale's ode to something or other, and then tho serious business of the day began. It was a debate as to whether the condition of tho workingwomen would be most benetited by individual effort or legislation. The hrst speaker called was not a Sorosis woman, but one of the invited celebrities, with a bunch of carnations flowing on her breast and a silver King's )uughters' cross gleaming beneath them. Sho was an impassioned, magnetic speaker, who pictured the wrongs and oppressions of working girls in touching, thrilling words. Half of the women in the room were in that delicious condition just preceding a burst of tears. There's nothing the average woman so revels in as pathos, and they were all thinking they would never wear a ready-made milled skirt again which women were starving while making. The ladies slowly dissolved into an ecstacy of tenderness. Little sniffs were heard hero and there, aud perfumed handkerchiefs fluttered fragrance as she concluded that the silver cross of the King's Daughters was to close the breach between capital and labor, but no one quite understood which side of the argument she supported. Looking for Work. Philadelphia Record. Contractor "Want help, ehT Why don't you go to work?'' Tramp "I'm lookin for work, been lookin' all over tho country, but can't find none. One 'o them Italians down here told me there weren't no more jobs here." "An Italian told youf Not ono of them can speak a word of English." Ofi, I pick up all sorts'o languages inmo travels lookin' ter work. I can talk Italiano verio goodio." "13 v i inks! You're just the man I want. I've got live hundred Italians down there who can't understand a word I say. I'll give you 1,500 a 3-enr to boss them. Here, take this dollar and get a square meal." "Thankee, sir. You're very kind, sir. but five hundred Italians is a good maiy to talk to, ami I hear there's a man 111 the next town willing to pay mo o.000 a year to boss one Italian. If I don't hurry I may lose that job. Good day, sir." The Autlior of "The Quick or the Dead." New York Independent. The faco and head arc small and well shaped, tho nose a high, straight line, coming down to meet a mouth and chin full of character, the lips well shaped, and the chin linn and square. Tho eyes are tho great beauty of tho face, dark and long, almond shaped enough to remind one of Eastern eyes, and with long, dark lashes, and linoly marked dark brows. The forehead was shaded by a curly mass of goldenbrown hair, the rest of it was drawn back and knotted, although that could not be seen, as the face was a full face, turned a hair's breadth at tho chin, so as not to stare squarely at one. The throat rose in clear liues above fairsholders, and ouo arm lay at her side while the other held a fan. It was a very pleasant picture of a beautiful woman. A Good Field for the White Caps. Chicago Journal. Billy Myer and Jack McAuliffe would make influential members of the Indiana Legislature just at present. It seems that the Hoosicr statesmen are a little jealous of the notoriety gained by the North Judson debaters, and will not be outdono in retrieving their lost reputations. A daily report of the proceedings of the Indiana assembly has come to be an account of a few vernal and listic combats. The time not occupied iu sparring, or preparing for a match, is apparently taken up in soothing the maimed and the halt If the Whito Caps are bent on continuing their social calls, the Capitol at Indianapolis might bo a good held lor their operations. Ten to One. pitt&burg Chronicle. - A. M. Griffin, "the 1.500 postmaster" at Hempstead. L. I., has forwarded hisresignation to President Cleveland to take effect March 4. although his term will not expire for eighteen mouths, giving as his reason that ho is "too good a Democrat to serve a Republican administration." Ten to one he expected to be bounced for cause and wanted to make some 10-cent museum fame for himself between now and Monday. m Crippled It Long Ago. Brooklyn Standard-Union. Some Democratic papers are hinting that a host of Democrats in the postoffices throughout the country are preparing to resign at once with the intention of "crippling the service.5' This would make a horse laugh, if a horse could laugh,, as everybody knows that it was their appointment that crippled tho service.
