AMUSEMENTS. “The Hello of New York.” T : . gorgeous operatic comedy, “The 1 it; of New York," resumed Its successful run at English's yesterday after an absence of nine months. Taken as a whole there i> li t fault to be found with the brilliant production. While a number of changes L vo been made in the cast they are simply in the nature of new friiis to the original as exhibited last year shortly before this i . -i entertainment was sent across the "■iter to gladden the hearts of the Englishm< i . People who failed to see the original will wonder how the many sentimentally int're-ting characters coulu be improved; but lie who formed a strong attachment f"p th. lirst production went again yesterday with misgivings and, perhaps, with ac<i or. and prejudices, unwilling to admit that i • Saiv.ition Army lassie, the little French girl, or the polite German lunatic could be played as well by new people. If there v.' re nn> Mich, they came away singing the pi si.-. sos the show.

While Dan Daly Is not singing the grotesque Cohoes Rescue League song with as perfect drollery as formerly, on account of hoarseness, his unique Impersonation of Ichabod Bronson is the same urtistic triumph, and his popularity with the audience was shown by the many boisterous encores. His appearance was the slgrgil for a perfect storm of applause and he see ued to be working harder, if anything, to make up for his troublesome vocal organs. He i still does his steplidder dance with Cather- **'*• Kinyard, and his stage business with

Grand—“ The Private Secretary.*’ The orchestra was under the stage at both performances at the Grand yesterday, the house being crowded both matinee and evening and the two big audiences greatly enjoyed William Gillette's comedy, “The Private Secretary,” as presented hv the stock company. The parrot made a big hit in the first act, where it was part of the furnishings of Douglas Cattcrmole’s bachelor apartment. This parrot was not of the stuffed brand, but was what the property man would call a “practical” bird. It was the real thing, and during the flrst act it did more talking than the actors. For a little while it was funny, but the parrot, like some stage folks, seemed to become imbued with the idea that it was the whole show just because one or two of Its speeches took well, and so it kept on talking, whether it got its cue or not. That parrot should rehearse some more or be gagged at the proper intervals. Mr. Kirkland, as Douglas Cattermole, the sporty nephew, who is palmed off as the private secretary, gave additional evidence of his versatility, and Mr. Sheldon, who played the real secretary, was so good that he made the role seem natural, and the audience took to him from the start. Mr. Bradford, as old Uncle Cattermole, was delicious in some, of his comedy work, although his voice was rather husky last night. Miss Shannon appeared as Miss Marsland, the charming young daughter, who is to be tutored by the private secretary. She was as sweet as a rose in the character and it is a relief to see her in a part that does not require her, or permit her, to leave the stage in a Duse outburst of sobs at the close of each act. Miss Daily gave the audience some new ideas on how funny an old maid can he when she is devoted to the study of the occult. Miss Berg and Mr. Conger assisted in the love scenes at the right times. Mr. Patton trotted out a talent for light comedy work as the Bond-street tailor. The minor parts, aside from those mentioned, were handled well, Miss Field, ns Mrs. Spaulding, with a flock of seven little private secretaries, coming in for a share of the applause in the last act. Mr. Spencer, anew member of the company, was the servant, and announced dinner in an unctuous tone, the while he smiled a greeting to some admiring friends in the audience. “The Private Secretary," as put on by the stock company, will draw well all week.

Park—‘‘Transoceanic Stars.*' Hopkins’s Transoceanic Star Specialty Company packed the Park Theater to the doors at both the matinee and evening performances yesterday. Such audiences have not been seen before since this organization was here last season. With the exception of two or three specialties, which were evidently put in to till out the programme, the entertainment was on a high plane of excellence. It was divided into two sections and those who left at the close of the first missed by far the better part of the performance. Os the four acts making up the first half of the programme those of Foy and Clark and the Nawns deserve special mention. Foy was ably supported by Miss Clark in a, series of clever songs, tricks and take-offs. The Nawns were instantly recognized as old-time favorites and received a hearty welcome, which spurred them to do their best. Their act wound up with soma feats on roller skates of more than common skill and cleverness. The second part opened with renditions of difficult selections on the banjo by Messrs. Polk and Koliins. These gentlemen played music that is seldom attempted on an instrument of such limited range. In addition to giving Sousa's “Cotton King" march and the overture to “William Tell” in a most pleasing style, they did some work in the way of imitations that provoked applause. Caron and Herbert as the clown and acrobat held the attention of the audience for an unusually long time, but when they finally retreated, thoroughly exhausted, an attempt was made to recall them. The feature of th£ show was Kara, on tne hills as the “greatest juggler in the world." It will be cheerfully conceded that he is the greatest ever seen in these parts. After juggling with articles employed by all the others of his class, he turned his attention to tables, chairs, hall trees, hats and umbrellas, with which he performed countless feats entirely new to the art. The entertainment was fittingly closed with singing of descriptive songs by Mr. Nestor, accompanied by colored illustrations of great beauty, shown by Mr. Bennett. The illustrations displayed during the singing of “She Was Bred in Old Kentucky” wore such as to arouse considerable applause. The Transoceanics will remain all week, with usual matinees. The change of hill next Monday will he a farce-comedy entitled "A Cheerful Idiot.” Empire—"ln Atlantic City.” The Empire gallery contingent, which is ! used to getting its laughs from seeing the principal comedian go up in the air and fall on his neck to the sound of the bassdrum, did not take kindly to Frank M. and John B. Wills's comedy, "In Atlantic City," as presented yesterday. There was a good deal of conversation, the play being constructed on "legitimate" lines, and the gallery wanted action. After a speech from Manager Zimmerman, the "gods" quieted down a little, though interruptions were frequent through the performance. The play is an average farce-comedy, and quite a number of specialties were introduced, including the pantomimic and statue dance of the three Heiston sisters, which possessed, at least, the merit of novelty and was fairly well executed. Prank M. Wills won several laughs in his character of the retired brewer. and Miss Estelle Wills’s Violet enabled her to lock pretty, which she did with ease. Some pretty songs and dances were introduced by Emma Seigle Wills, who is a soubrette of the lively, iuvenile type, and also by Estelle Wills. The engagement of the company is for the week, with the usual m itinces. Rider's “Night Owls" will follow next Monday, Benjamin Horning- Ilao Gone. Benjamin Horning, the leading man of the stock company, announced last night that his engagement had closed with .the end of the old year. He is not playing in "The Private Secretary” this week. He thanked his friends fer their praise and encouragement. but assigned no reason for his departure. It is supposed he Ims accepted a position which has with it more salary and better opportunities than he had here. There is much to be aid about Mr. Horning's wo k in this city, for it varied greatly. He has been very popular with the stock company patrons, and his work has always elicited applause. It is the opinion of many of his admirers that he was at ills best as James Granby in “The Social Highwayman." the quiet character of the thief valet devoted to the criminal master. 'This character, as portrayed by Mr. Horning, had the whole sympathy of the audiences, and many of those who had seen Mr. E. M. Holland in the part did not say that they had seen it better played than it was by Mr. Horning. Another of his artistic successes was th© Senator in "The Wife." Mr. Horning's lira-

The “Story of Old Glory.” CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—A great audience greeted the opening performance of the “Story of Old Glory,” by the United States Military Band at Central Music Hall tonight.

The stage was built Into the parquette to accommodate the big band, and Mr. Brooks directed his musicians, w hile the house was darkened, with a baton tipped with a tiny red electric bulb.

and then the "Bandanna,” in which the girls blindfolded the men with red and white polkadot handkerchiefs. The girls formed a circle outside of a circle qf men and at a given signal each man grabbed for a partner. Mr. Thomson then led an intricate tangle figure and then came the "balloon” figure, in which the girls had red toy balloons, which they trailed over the floor by means of a string and the men tried to step on the balloons and break them. The men to first succeed had the choice of a partner. The pyramid figure was given and the finale was the "harlequin.” A great ball of green or red was broken and falling frem it were packages wrapped in green or red tissue paper. Among the sets of favors presented was one of Gibson calendars, which were made by Miss Julia Fletcher and were dainty and artistic souvenirs; there was a set of cut-glass salve boxes with silver tops and gilt ease tape strings, having miniature tops; a set of crepe paper sunbonnets and jockey caps of the two colors, and a set of crepe paper puff balls for pins.

LICIITENSTEIN—FOX. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Jan. 2.—One of the most elaborate weddings ever celebrated in this city took place this evening at the Masonic Temple, which, for the time, became a Jewish synagogue. The principals were Mr. George Lichtenstein, of Titusville, Pa., a member of a prominent New York family, and Miss Sallie Fox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Fox. The ceremony was witnessed by three hundred guests, and was performed by Rabbi Grosman, of Cincinnati. Supper followed and to-night Mr. and Mrs. Lichtenstein left for Chicago. They are to reside in Titusville. Among the guests were the following; Miss Jennie Johnson, Cincinnati; Miss Pearlie Marcus, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf Lichtenstein, Rochester, N. Y.; Mrs. Sol Meyer, Indianapolis; Mrs. M. Rothschild, Hammond; Miss Nettie Hoffstadt, Madison; Miss Jennie Kern and Mr. Harry Fox. Cleveland; Mrs. T. Solomon, Cincinnati; Miss Martha Lichtenstein.

EDINBURG, Ind., Jan. 2.—Mr. and Mrs. John A. Collier celebrated the fifty-third anniversary of their marriage at their home just west of town yesterday. They have lived in their present residence for fiftytwo years. Mr. Collier is now in his seven-tv-ninth vear and Mrs. Collier Is seventyfive. They have five living children, fourteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren. STILLJNARMS. (Concluded from First PngeJ they appeared a fan international ceremony of the most tremendous significance just as though they had got up from the breakfast table. The Spaniards, too, cut their part of the ceremonies to the shortest time possible. When they were through they scampered out of the palace and down to the wharf with hardly a good-bye to anyone. The throne room had been set aside for their exclusive use, where they were to receive the Spanish people of Havana after the formal exercises had taken place, but Castellanos and his staff merely walked into the throne room from a door at one ride and then in a few minutes down the stairs straight to the wharf.” + . DISCONTENT AT SANTIAGO. Protest Against Sending All Customs Receipts to Havana. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 2.—An order has been received from Havana, which, if enforced, will mean, in the judgment of the commercial classes here, serious Injury to the province. This is a direction to transmit the entire, customs receipts each week to Havana. Compliance vlih such instructions would involve the abandonment of many necessary public Improvements, espe-

cially in the matter of roads and water works. Since the American occupation began these funds have been used for such purposes and have been the principal means of meeting the necessary expenditures. The Keraldo says that to carry out this order would throw ten thousand Cubans out of employment, most of whom would probably take to the hills and become bandits, having no other recourse, Robert T. Mason, British consul at Santiago, says it was Spain’s practice of monetary centralization which caused most of her troubles in Cuba. Gen. Leonard Wood, United States military governor of the department, on being asked to express an opinion respecting the order, declined to be interviewed, but it is reported that, without offering any criticism of the policy W'hich dictates the order, he has shown his annoyance at the possibility of a stop being put to the good work being done in the province. The local taxation fund is barely sufficient to meet the expenses of the city. There is nothing over for important Improvements; and the customs receipts are considered by competent judges to be absolutely necessary for the successful management of the province. Popular excitement over the order Is growing among all classes.

Hunt, a wealthy cattle dealer of Texas and proprietor of the Palacio Hotel at Chihuahua, Mex., has announced that he has succeeded in effecting a compromise between Grant C. Gillett, the fugitive Abilene, Kan., cattle plunger, and his creditors. Gillett has been in the vicinity of Chihuahua for over a month. Through his attorney, C. R. Troxel, Gillett unbosomed himself to Hunt, who went to Kansas City last week, and on his return here announced that he had offered the creditors $50,000 cash, and that they had accepted the offer. Hunt declared that the deal for the compromise has been practically closed. It is said the young plunger will profit by the compromise, as Hunt estimates that he took $05,000 with him to Mexico in his hand satchel and received $40,000 more from the United States on Christmas day by express. He owns 2,200 hqad of ordinary cattie, but just where they are his creditors do not know. He also owns 200 head of fancy-bred cattle valued at ?300 each. His homestead is said to be in his mother’s name and worth SIOO,000. It is in order to be able to realize on his property that Gillett is willing to surrender $50,000 to his creditors, thus escaping prosecution. It is said Gillett found refuge on a ranch about sixty miles southwest of Chihuahua. Gillett soon wearied of his new life, and made frequent visits to Chihuahua. He was in constant communication with Troxel, who had fallen in with Hunt. Troxel purchased an interest in the Palacio Hotel, and, to while away the time, became its assistant manager. Hunt went into partnership with Gillett for the shipment of cattle to Cuba. The firm had plenty of capital and did quite a large business. As many as 1,500 head were shipped weekly. Troxel acted as Gillett’s agent in these transactions, and their association led to the negotiations with Gillett's creditors. Sgys the Story Is Untrue. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 2.-Frank Cooper, of the comihnission firm of Elmer & Cooper, which holds a big block of the Giliett paper, stated to-night that the story that a compromise had been effected between Gillett and his creditors here was “unqualifiedly false in every particular.” Elmer & Cooper are among the heaviest indorsers of Gillett paper in Kansas City. As to Embalminir. Philadelphia Times. Wlille that army beef may have been “embalmed.” from the way it’s being spoken of by the soldiers, it's plainly not embalmed in pleasant memory.

MR. DINGLEY’S CONDITION FEVER SLIGHTLY REDUCED AND PULSE A LITTLE STRONGER. Wayne McVengh Critically 111—Many People at Wanbington Suffering with Grip and Pneumonia. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Members of the family of Representative Dingley to-day were cheered by a slight improvement to nope that he had a fighting chance for his life, though realizing that his condition remains critical. If he recovers, it will be four or five days before he can be said to be out of danger, and then will come a long tedious season of slow recuperation. This view of the case Is as favorable and conservative as his condition warrants. He passed a comfortable night on the whole, and this morning was at least holding his own. During the afternoon his temperature dropped seme and the lungs apparently were making a slight progress towards betterment. Tonight his family are hopeful that the change for the better is permanent. The fever has been slightly reduced and the pulse is a little stronger. One of the attending physicians said to-night he believed the patient now' had a chance to recover. His condition, however, remains critical. Many other residents of Washington, besides Mr. Dingley, have been prostrated by the grip and the ailments attendant upon it that are now included in its train of ills. At all the drug stores, which are the real barometers of the state of public health, *he reports are the same, that there were never so many prescriptions or so many calls for the remedies which are supposed to be specific for diseases of the nucuous system. An observant pharmacist estimates that 10 per cent, of the district’s population is suffering in one way or another from the now generic grip. Three members of the Senate committee on appropriations are so ill that they wail not be able to leave their homes for several days. These include Senators Sewell and Cockrell, both of whom have been sick for two weeks or more, and Senator Allison, who has the grip and is keeping to his room to avoid more serious consequences. Senator Turpie, of Indiana, is recovering from an attack of pneumonia, but for several days has been able to sit up. It is not at all likely he will go to the Capitol for at least two w'eeks, as his recent illness has weakened him to such an extent that he will be in danger of a relapse unless he receives the very' best care. Os the justices of the Supreme Court, one, Justice Gray, is sick with the grip; of the United States Court of Claims Justice Weldon is ailing; of the District Court of Appeals, Chief Justice Aivey and Justice Morris Are both afflicted, and of the justices of the District Supreme Court, Chief Justice Bingham and Justice Cox re -ick. The present freezing spell, it is hoped,

New York Letter. There is another indication of increase of wealth illustrative also of a new tendency. Whether it is because there is disposition to follow the examples set by people of wealth in Great Britain who are said to live for the greater part of the year in thu country, or whether it is a disposition which is due to the happy experience which those who posses country homes have enjoyed, the fact remains that never before has there been so great a tendency on the part of those who have country homes to remain in them until after the holiday season, and on the part of those who do not ;hss<-ss them to buy them, as has been nolle- and litis year. The managers of hotels and apartmenthouses have been surprised that those to whom in years past they have rented apartments for the winter season are not disposed now to take these rooms until after the Ist of January, and then only for three or four months. The demand for country property which is within convenient distance of the city ini very great, and may be illustrated perhaps by the purpose of young William Rockefeller and of his brother-in-law, Dr. MeAlpin, to build country villas within thirty miles of New York and to live In these viliaa the greater part of the year. Even those who are not able to spend large sums of money in building and fitting up luxurious homes are nevertheless more* and more going from the city into tho neighboring suburbs. It is the opinion of those qualified to judge that within the next four or five years we shail see a large development of the suburbs, a development which will be quickened when rapid transit facilities are increased and when the proposed suspension bridges are built over tho East river.
