Creston Clarke at English's In "The Ragged Cavalier' If the people who remained away from Creston Clarke's presentation of "The Ragged Cavalier" at English's Opera House last night because they feared to patronize a comparatively unknown actor had proceeded upon the theory of the betting fraternity, "Nothing risked, nothing gained," they would have gnat cause for eelf-congratulatlon to-day. A more finished, more pleasing, more satisfactory portrayal has seldom been witnessed, even by an audience that occupied every seat. Mr. Clarke was greeted by a ridiculously small audience, but It was the loss of the people who looked twice at their money and then decided to stay away. After all, why should a man who was seen and enJoyed here as Julia Marlowe's leading man be so entirely forgotten? While his audience was entirely inadequate, the actor was so thorough an artist that he did not falter for an Instant in his work of presenting a portraiture that would be carried away In the heart and memory, and treasured as something of great value. In this day of plays which exploit exaggerated ideas of life and Us better relations It Is refreshing, even ennobling, to witness the development of a rough, honest, easy-going, thoroughly lovable character like the "ragged cavalier" by a true artist, such as Mr. Clarke undoubtedly demonstrated himself to be. His first appearance, walking along the "King's highway." elicited spontaneous applause by Its extreme naturalness. When he sat upon a stumo tn eat his wayfarer's frugal meal, brought forth from a handkerchief, it was the acme of realism. Men who have plenty of time consume a great deal In eating, but this Is a point that is frequently lost sight of. If anything was passed over by the actor's delicate sense of fitness. It was not noticed. The scene at the inn. where he recognizes in Marcelle De BIols the youth with whom he had had a 'duel on the roart a short time before could hardly be surpassed. Again, In the love scene at the chateau of ex-Minister De Brienne, Mr. Clarke was the personification of naturalness. The play is full of bright, witty lines, and the force of none of thm is lost. Mr. Clarke has in Miss Adelaide Prince a leading woman whose ability Is adequate to mark his own in stronger coloring. She was rarely at fault in her Interpretation of the lines allotted her. More often her conception of the trying role of Marcelle De JJlois amounted to positive genius. Altogether, the production was noteworthy, and certainly remarkable when the lack of the encouragement afforded by a largo and appreciative audience Is considered. The effect of Mr. Clarke's finished work in "The Ragged Cavalier" was to arouse a lively desire to see his other plays. With a company that Is capable, for the most part, he should give equally enjoyable productions of "David Garrick," at the matinee this afternoon, and "The Last of His Race," tonight. Note or (he St a ice. The Dearborn stock company, Chicago, has revived "Diplomacy," which was produced by the Grand stock company In this city last season on a lavish scale. "On the Wabash" has received a reception amounting to an ovation, and to-day. Its last at the Park. Is confidently expected to maintain the record of yesterday and Thar.krgivins Augustln Daly's estate has secured the American and Canadian rights of "San Toy," a new Chinese musical comedy which Is having a successful run In London at Daly's theater. There was no matinee at the Grand yesterday, as was inadvertently announced In this column, but there will be one this afternoon. With this and to-night's performance the stock company will conclude a very successful week of "The Dancing Girl." Mrs. Selby Tapsfield, who Is playing Martha In Lewis Morrison's Eastern "Faust" company, celebrated her onethousandth appearance In this character at St. John, N. B., Nov. IS. This seems to be another case of "Ephraim wedded to his Idols." The average person loves to be mystified, especially if It Is done In a clever way. This natural human desire will find full gratification at the Park the last half of next week, when "The Great Triple Alliance." headed by three prestidlgitateurs, will be the attraction. Theetrtcal managers are beginning to turn their eyes towards our new colonial possessions as attractive fields for amusement ventures. The Roston Lyric Opera Company had a successful opening night at the Hawaiian Opera House, Honolulu. Oct. 31. presenting "Said Pasha." Chicago has been enjoying "The Rounders" all of the past week, and next week Odette Tyler replaces it with her production of Anthony Hope's "Phroso." Hoth of these attractions are down on Manager Miller's book, the former to appear at English's the lith and 16th of this month. With "David Garrick" as the attraction, and the extra Inducement of popular prices. English's Opera House should be filled this afternoon. Creston Clarke, with Miss iTince as leading woman and an eminently capable supporting company, will give a finished production of this old favorite. James O'Neill, who has frequently played "The Count of Monte Crlsto" to big houses in this city, U seriously contemplating a tiur through his native Ireland next spring. He w..l del!ht the denizens of the Emerald Isle with "The Mukr teers" ftna "The Count of Monte Crlsto." In b-th of which plays he does high-class work. Those who do not love noise and excitement had better keep away from the corner of Capitol avenue and Washington street the first half of next week. The Great Train Robbery." with lt highway robber. deadhots and real Indian warrior will keep things stirred up In that loenllty for three days, beginning Monday afternoon. . The engagement of the Rose Hill Folly Company at the Empire, will end with tonight's performance. Sam Devere will open Monday afternoon, to remain three day? Sam Devere. the three Ix'ons. female acrobats, the Newsboys' Quintet and a long list

of other entertainers will appear in two burlesques and an olio said to be of high merit. ' Manager Kirk La Shelle, whose name is fart becoming a household word as the author of comic operas of sterling excellence, has been offered a theater in London, beginning Jan. 1. in' which to display the talents of Frank Daniels as a comic opera comedian In "Ine Ameer," and alo to present Gus Thomas's successful play, "Arizona." and a dramatization of Ian Maclaren's "Bonnie Brier Busn." Fun In varied forms will be handed out to the patrons of English's next week. Tuesday night It will appear as comedy, "What Happened to Jones." while Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee It will be sung In comic opera. The Bcstonlans. whose very name imports excellence, will produce their new comic opera, "The Smugglers." for the first time In Indianapolis Friday night. At the matinee Saturdav thev will present popular "Hob Koy," and their last appearance at this engagement wui be in "The Serenade" Saturday night. Nat Goodwin Is a prime favorite In Chicago. The first two weeks of hl3 present engagement in the Windy City ho packed Power's Theater with "The Cowboy and the Lady," which was a dismal failure In London, probably on account of Its strong flavor of the far West In America, a place little known to our Br. lsh cousins. Last week Mr. Goodwin did "very well, thank you." with "The American Citizen." and this week he Is delighting all the citizens of Porkopolis who can be accommodated at hia theater with "Nathan Hale.; "The Cowboy and the Lady" Is the only one of these plays that has not been seen In this city.

HE PRAYED TOO LOUD. Methodist 'Shonter" Expelled nnd Others Mny Meet Same Fnte. STAMFORD, Conn., Dec 1. After a trial lasting two nights, William Kemp, for fifty years a member of the Stamford Methodist Episcopal Church, was expelled from that chufch last night. This was the culmination of friction dating back several years. Other members are about to be tried, and It Is probable that they also will be expelled. Mr. Kemp belonged to that school which Is referred to frequently now as the "shouting" Methodists. At prayer meeting he was always very demonstrative. He belonged to the class led by George Jones. The class was very noisy, and frequent objections were made to It. Such was the state of affairs about three years ago when the present pastor, the Rev. Frank Warfleld Crowder, entered upon his duties here. The situation did not better Itself any under the new pastor. He reorganized George Jones's class, with some objectionable members left out, but this only served to bring things to a crisis. One of the men left out in the reorganization was Mr. Kemp. On Oct. 13 he appeared at the church and demanded that he be allowed to take part In the class. He refused to leave the church, and finally the pastor called In a policeman and had him put out. Dr. Crowder told Mr. Kemp that J ne would give mm an opportunity to leave the church, or else to continue as a member, but to take, no part in the class meetings. Mr. Kemp declined to do either, nnd then proceedings for expulsion were begun. The first specification is Indulging In sinful tempers. It is alleged under this head that Mr. Kemp refused to heed the request of pastors and the official board concerning his participation In the church meetings. The second specification is disobedience to the order and discipline of the church. It is alleged that he rebelled against the pastor's authority in the meetings of the church, and five Instances are cited. He rebelled against tho Rev. Mr. Downey's authority by disputing .and contradicting the pastor's interpretation of a passage of Scripture: in the last years of Mr. Downev's pastorate he rebelllously and defiantly re'fused to acknowledge his fault; he in Oct. C. Ik 9. entered t..e class formerly George Jones's, whfch the Rev. Dr. Crowder reorganized, and had not appointed him a member. On the eventng of Oct. 11 he rebelled against the authority of the pastor. THEY SUPPORT M'KINIEY. Many German-Americans Favor Retention of the Philippines. MILWAUKEE, Wl3., Dec. 1. The Herald will publish to-morrow morning the result of tho efforts of tho editor, Mr. Edward W. Coleman, to ascertain the sentiment among the Republican German-American population of Wisconsin on the expansion question. He obtained from the chairman of tho Republican county committee of every county In tho State except Milwaukee tho names of five representative GermanAmerican Republicans, the chairmen of the county committees not knowing for what purpose the names were asked. Mr. Coleman wrote to the five men In each county asking an answer to the following questions: "First Are you and your friends of opinion that the American government, after the close of the war In the Philippines, shall retain the islands as territory and property of the United States and give to the Philippines a suitable torm of government under the direction and control of the United States? "Second Are you of opinion that the United States troops shall be recalled immediately and the Filipinos left to take care of themselves? "Third Are you of opinion, after the close of tho war. the United States shall give to the Uliplnos the broadest self-government and content itself with a protectorate?" , The replies so far received are classified by Mr. Coleman as follows: For question one. K; for question two. 10; for question three, 34. Five ignored direct answers, but expressed confidence that the administration would adopt tho proper course, four were undecided between question one and question three and nine were undecided as to the proper policy to be pursued. In a letter to President McKinley Mr. Coleman says: "While I was personally of opinion that we should never have assumed possession of the Philippine islands and should not retain them as American territory. I felt that the German-Americans were as much divided on this question as the Ans'io-Amerlcans and that a larger proportion of the Republican German-Americans were In favor of retaining absolute possession than was generally presumed."

HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Dec. 1.

There are sixteen of these, representing nearly 400 pots, Including the three large tank concerns at Eaton, Arcadia and Summitvllle. The new trust made an attempt to keep these concerns from starting claiming that in settling the wage scale at Pittsburg last October the trust represented these manufacturers as well as those which cast their lot with the new trust.

The trust has given no intimation as to when a start will be made. No manager has been selected for the big plant in this city, and there is little prospect of a start before Jan. 1, if then. Meanwhile no less than half a dozen independent and co-operative companies are organizing in this city and many others in various gas belt cities for the purpose of building factories to bo operated Independent of the trust, which as soon as it identifies those interested in such movements refuses to hire them.

LONG STRUGGLE AT SEA. Steamer Darius nnd a Brave Crew Had an Cxcltlnfr Voyaee. VICTORIA. B. C, Dec. 1. Mall advices by steamer Warrimoo state that the steamer Darius arrived at Adelaide Nov. 3, after an exciting trip, through the breaking of her tail shaft while on her way from Melbourne to Ceylon. The second officer, Reginald Lyon Inston, two passengers, and five Lascars, who volunteered to obtain assistance for the vessel after her propeller had gone, sailed in one of the ship's boats Aug. 18 for Padang, a port on the Sumatra coast, Just 650 miles from her position at the time. For twelve days and thirteen nights the little craft battled with adverse gules, accompanied by almost Incessant squalls of rain, interspersed by several calm and intensely hot days. They finally sighted a steamer bound west, Aug. SO. She passed very close to the boat, but although the ensign was flown upside down and other distress signals were made, absolutely no notice was taken. The men were still 150 miles away from Padang, and were forced to continue their battle with the elements until Sept. 1. when they attracted the attention cf the Dutch steamer Reael. The rescuing steamer was so small that the voyagers were forced to abandon their gallant craft, which had carried them within 110 miles of Padang. The party was taken to Calcutta, via Batavia and Singapore, arriving at Calcutta the same day the Darius towed In. The Merrimnc Overdue. LIVERPOOL, Dec. 1.

Chicago bankers do not fear any bad effects on the American stock of gold from the action of the Bank of England in Increasing the discount rate to 6 per cent. They believe that England will get none of the gold in the United States under the present conditions. The two former controllers of tho currency now living in this city. James II. Eckels and E. S. Laccy, are of the same opinion In this matter, "New York has already discounted the action of the Bank of England." said Mr. Eckels, "and unless the conditions change much on one side or the other of the Atlantic there will hardly be a movement of gold." Mr. Lacey said: "I do not anticipate any free movement of gold. Tho Bank of England can secure gold from this country now only by special operation that is, by sending over and purchasing it at the best prices they can get, regardless of the rate of exchange. If the rate of discount here ceases some gold may go across, but I am Inclined to believe the increased rate In London will tend to sustain, rates in this country. What movement there Is will be largely a sentimental one any way. Even if the gold did go across the Atlantic the United States could easily spare it, as our supply is very large." TANGLED LITIGATION. Commission Firm Held to Re Liable for a Large Sum. CHICAGO. Dec. 1. Judge Dunne to-day held that Scaling & Tamblyn. a stock commission firm, of Kansas City, are responsible for between $5,000 and $in.O00 to Knollln & Co., another firm in the same line of business In the same city. The litigation grows out of a transaction In sheep. In 1595. In that year a stockman arrived at Kansas City with three thousand sheep, which he turned over to the commission firm, and on the bill of lading secured $! cash and $000 in drafts. Scaling & Tamblyn turned over the sheep to Knollln ft Co. and gave a bill of sale, receiving for the sheep about $o,000. Knollin & Co. sold the sheep to the AdamsBurke Company, commission merchants in the Union Stockyards, In Chicago. This house sold the sheep to four different persons living outside of the State. Two weeks after the last transaction "Frlff" Edwards, a stockman from Rifle. Col., appeared In the office of the Chicago commission house and wanted to know where hi three thousand theep were which, he said, had been stolen by his herder. Edwards started suits In replevin against the last buers &nd recovered his sheep. The Adam-Burko Company settled with these buyers and Knollln & Co. settled with the Chicago house. Kollln & Co. then filed the suit against Scaling & Tamblyn. NOT A DECAYED COUNTRY. Sister Xlvedlta Sar India In Xot Yet Ruined by England. CHICAGO, Dec. 1. "England has destroyed the factories which once existed In India in favor of Manchester and Birmingham. She has made India what it is, but she has not been able to reduce it' to that state which common rumor has It a decayed country," said Sister NIvedita, of the Order of Remakrlshna, of Calcutta, at the monthly meeting of the Chicago Art and Crafts Society to-night. The subject was "Ancient Art In India." and she drew a comparison between the condition of the crafts as they exist to-day in India and as they were hundreds of years agx While shs admitted that India had gone back In oane things, she held that It was due to tho actions of the English government in hiding the true reourc.s of the r. ntry from the world at large.

FEELS JUST AS HE SAID. Wlnslovr Asserts He Would Rather De Afrulnaldo than 31oKinley. BOSTON, Dec. 1. The Thanksglvinc message sent to President McKinley br Erving Winslow, secretary of the Anti-Imperialist League, was intended as a personal message by the sender. In an Interview Mr. Winslow said the expression was in no way connected with tho league. Continuing. Mr. Winslow said: "The simple fact of the matter is that I have been so deeoly stirred by the whole business, by the death of Aguinaldo's child, the capture of his mother, the hunting and harrying of. Agulnaldo himself into the woods by our men in the Philippines that I feel Just as I sail 1 would ratner be In Aguinaldo's place than in that of Mr. McKinley, who caused It all." I'SED THEIR DRAINS. How Three Enterprising; Teople Man-an-ed to "Catch On.1 Xew York Letter In Philadelphia Xortti American. , There Is nothing which periodically manifests itself in print so impossible to characterize a the mental peculiarity of what may be called a school of critics of New York society, whose members are certain at intervals to write themselves black in the face, proving their contention that there is no Bohemia In this city. Suddenly, and with no apparent provocation, some one of these composes and print? a truculent treatise whereby he seeks to demoiih dictum which he alone teems to have heard, that there are Bohemians in New York, While their state of mind must eer remain a mystery, their ignorance is easily accounted for; none s'Jch as they couldi ever come within sighting distance of the Bohemia which as surely xlts In Newr York to-day as it did In Paris In the days cf which Henri Murger and George di& Maurier wrote. I shall not attempt to disturb the cherished belief of the critics spoken of, but Just now happening to see in print a recent outbreak by one of them, I am reminded of the experience of three Bohemlennes whlcbi proves that all of their clacs are not without a sense of business when business cam be promoted through other than conventional llns. One was a wtlter whose nrtlcbs t-eldom sold; one an actress generally "at leisure:" the third an artist, whose highly decorative water colors decorated chiefly the darkest walls of the dealers' shops. They lived girl bachelor fashion in a tiny flat on Thlrty-?ixth street, and at times their pooled incomes forced them to practice the onlv science they had ever masteredthat of living or. a total of a dollar a dav. including rent, meals and dressing. In this latter important matter the artist was a genius. With a few yards of cheap, showy rtuff she would drape herself or a companion, take a few etitches. Insert a few pins, ar.d produce ihe effect of a smart and expensive gown. This use of her art served a very geod turn when, not very long ago. Daniel Frohman encnged the actress fcr a part in a Lyceum play. Her gown, designed and made by the artist, attracted attenticn on both Hides of the footlights, and the writer Jollied a theatrical critic into giving a couple of lines notice of it in his column. Frohrrmi asked her the name of her dressmaker, and ordered his costumer ttt procure from the same souce All the gowns for a forthcoming production. Then the rlrls conplre-d. They hurriedly sold and pawned crouch to rent a handsome room for s month. Tho costumer. taken there by the actress, had to struggle to get In. A crush cf women, hastily drummed up for the occasion from studios, art classes, musla conservatories, we-re almost mobbing the "dressmaker." who made Frohman'a representative wait for hours before giving An audience. But then she booked an order at prices which only the seeming popularity of the modiste warranted. Her "creations were th drawirg feature of the next Lyceum plav. r.nd although Frohman has since learned the whole story, the artltdressmaker keeps all his cutcm. and Is row mobbed ly genuine patrons almoit to the extent of the dummy crush on the day of her tirst "opening day." The actre? i- now ore of Brother Charles Frohman's ytars. ana the writer takes hep pick of orders for signed articles, so they are out of Bohemia. But 'there are a-many of them left therein. tnd some day 1 may spin a yarn about their lives. Young & McMurray. Tailors. 2 N.
