My contract with it expired the last of October, and still it baa not told me what the increase will be, but the increase will date back from the -expiration of my contract. It is a rule of that company to charge by the light and horse-power, bat will not accept anything lest than one-half month rental. Suppose I bad tamed the lights on last night when I had no contract, the city could refuse to pay lor It and I eon Id not collect the suionnt.

“What do you propose to do new?” “The light committee was here to-day,

The parpooe of playing, ia the present rase, k better eosteeived than executed. Mr. Welia, an actor well known hero, has always a g-ntlemanlv quality in his work that is pleasant. He k earnest, hot he has a poor voice and lacks power. Hk passion k melodramatic, aad ao immobile lace prevents him from shading his personation. It k his njutaasmiac sincerity and diligence that enable him to play his part fairly level with the whole presestatioa. .Hr. Jordan as Constantin was raw in the early scenes, sad an infeiieitioas “make up” deprives him of a charm to the eye which the nature of hie character gives in an appeal to the feelings. Ia the later scenes the force of the dramatist’s drawing of toe part fitted well toe somewhat angular hat strong presentation which Hr. Jordan gave it. Hiss Laurens as Madame Clemenceea has what Is called a “fat part,” in the pale-faced invalid, and loving, sacrificing mother, which she plays with delicacy and discrimination. Hiss Boamaa’s countess was exceedingly well done. From Ha very power it was somewhat overdone, but it» a strong portraiture of a bold, vulgar, brutal, abandoned woman, though why toe should speak its Hues with a Freach accent is not apparent; of course if she can’t help it that is a cause, but not a reason, and is a misfortune. If she can help it, it is a fault that should be amended at ouce> Miss Biggar plays Iza with a good depl of surface brilliancy and great intelligence, but with little earnestness, contenting herself with a few easily turned Dicks of acting which “old stagers” have at command to do ths work. Bhe has
a comely presence.
As to the art of the performance, it is crude in its local contingent of block figures, who yesterday looked, indeed, as if they were having anything but a “Happy New Year.” The scenery is sufficiently good and the costumes appropriate. The play itselt is artistic. It is clean cut and deft, and it tells its story chiefly—os all plays ought to—by situation aud action. Thera are several strong scenes in a purely dramatic culmination. In this way the posing scene in the studio k strong, as ia also the incident that displays the statue in the later soenes. That ia deft dramatic work. The culmination of the plot is well handled—the pursuing love which the sculptor still has for his wife, and which, bringing him back, turns him ‘ into the avenger of transgression—to properly conelude thie dramatic portrayal with the transgressor's death, and at the sculptor’s hands—the same hands that glorified the perfections of their love. The moral considerations aroused by this posing scene have a scope that passes the whole play in review, and have a right to an answer for themselves as to whether this play k justified; whether apart from any considerations of the merit of Us presentation, or its worth as a piece of dramatic workmanship—the two uaitiug in aa artistic achievement—it is commendable to the public. There is a clear and unequivocal answer to this, but to give it categorically might make it fail of it* purpose. In the posing figure there is no “display” that has not been often made ou the stage, and with wholly innocuous effects. Ia many spectacular productions it ie •eea, and in many tableaux. But there it is intended to represent fairies, slaves, figures of mythology, history, art, add so is carried oflTin a purpose whose elm is pure. Here it it iatended to represent a model posing for a life study in a studio. Manifestly, while this is in its nature proper and innocuous in a studio or medical elinic, it ie neither on the stage. It is Simply nasty—not naughty. It ie not salacious nor lust-pandering aa a “display,” for it exceeds in this way nothing that k uot familiar to many wholly unobjectionable stage presentations. It is simply nasty because of the idea. In the same way k the scene preceding this. Here, In appears in a flowing town of blue silk with a lacs frill atop, of conventional propriety. She'is over-robed with a fur-trimmed pe f> eit, U>e whole making a costume that a Juliet or any similar character woaid wear with seemUness. Bat In k a wanton, and sprawling in this dress, the effect k one of repellent foulness; an effect even better illustrated by toe countesa who ia unexceptional evening dress, throws herself prone on a sola, instead of reclining upon it. These actions illustrating two mercenary characters who plot the barter and sale of the .virtuous relations of life give to this play aa atmosphere like that whieh arises from an uncovered •ewer or a spread of carrion. It k unclean, filthy,- nasty, nauseous. It would not hold its place as a play were it not for the folly that talked of suppreaeag it as iadeoen L It is indecent, hut not in the meaning of toe word that the prurient think. It k indecent aa a display of sores, foul disease or pis inlying bodies would be. It k utterly without sensual attraction, aad it has no moral attraction because, evea with the punishment of death which it meek out, it paints the degradation and wrack of character instead of its improvement aad prog;, raaa upward, aad humanity has faith ia program, and hence ie not edified by teachings that paint despair. There was a good-sized sndience present at both performances. The play will be given again Co-night, and to-morrow aftsr-

As hurriedly as possible she fired through the doer, but too late to harm the missile-thrower. She ^appeals to the police for protection.

STORIES OF STAGE PEOPLE. Hickey Collected the Annual PnanenHoyt’s “A” Series of Plays. “Did I ever tell you what a lively time I had with complimentary aud newspaper season passes at my Fort Wayne house when I was furnishing amusements to the Fort Wayne people?” asked the local man-
ager.
“No; let's have it,” said hk listeners. “Well, a little fellow-named John M. Hickey was playing an attraction over my Indiana circuit—‘A Hock of Geese,’ The Canine Paradox,’ Terry the Swell,'orsomething of that kind. W hen Hickey’s show was at Port Wayne he stood at toe door as the people came in, and, under one pretext or another, he took up eyery season ticket presented ax the door the night he played there. To some he said the passes were not right, and I wanted to get them in and issue others in their stead. To others he said he had instructions from me to take up the pass and tell the holder that in tbe future he must pay or stay out of tbe house. The rs were outraged in their innermost gs. I got letters demanding explanations. The excitement aud indignation were at fever heat. Hickey took ihe passes away with him, and at the depots, hotels aad on trains for a week after he left Fort Wayne he was dealing them out to brakemen and drummers, and saying to them, ‘Go see the show when you are in Fort Wayne.’ For weeks we had a row nearly every time toe house was opened with some fellow who would present. one of those passes. It took me three months to square matters with the people whose passes were
taken up by Hickey.
“Why did he do nP’ asked the railroad
man.
“Oh. it’s one of Hickey's jokes.” “There are a hundred stories about John
Hickey.” Said the advance agent “A few years ago when Will English was running his theater, Hickey waa booked to play in the house. A few day* before hk show was due here, Will English had a message from him, saying, ‘If you want me to play,in your d-—d old theater move it to Cleveland, O. I can’t grt the show to
Indianapolis.’ ”
Said the railroad man: “We all know Charles H. Hoyt He k the play-writer and manager of the ’A’ series of farce comedies. I say toe 'A’ series because all of
