Joalah White, a Philadelphia Quaker, wealthy and filled with a dealre to Improve the condition of poor children, Jecl led to help ip the establishment of what he was pleased to call a manual labor Institute, where poor children, white, colored and Indian, should have comfortable homes, receive training In useful labor, alternating the same with ordinary common schcol education In such manner as would render them capable of taking thalr places in the ranks of self-supporting and useful citizenship when they should reach the proper age.

fully. Mr. Skinner, after making a thorough study of the historic period covered . by the book and of the book Itself, threw away the novel and the histories auid wrote a play. His desire seems to have been to leave out every Incident In the story that might aeem melodramatic when transferred to the stage, and to emphasise the romantic situation and to

develop the love etory.

The first and second acta are set in America, the third takes Laxarre and Eagle to France, the fourth shifts to Mlttau. where Laxarre goes to assert his rights to the French throne; the fifth sees

The Grand—Vaudeville.

For next week’s vaudeville th* Grand has arranged a bill of diversified specialties. There are several acta of merit and enough novelties to make the bill Interesting. The extra attraction will be the appearance of Joe Welch, the Hebrew tnonologulst. For this season he has put together a new ptonologue, distinguished for the same faithful portraiture of the Hebrew character. Ho has worked In aome clever parodies. Charles Kenna, “the monologue king," will appear In the one-man sketch, 'The Fakir." Collins and Me.Dell have a new musical act that ts different from others. They provide comedy of the better sort Miss Angle Norton, the monologulst, has a refreshing line of talk. H«m»r Mason heads a company presenting "Hooked by Crook," a one-act comedy.

Th* story of “The Night Before Christmas," the pastoral drama which comes to the Park Theater the first three nights of next week. Is unique, and the author has furnished every opportunity for dramatic action. The story opens In a country farm house where John Phllllpe. Jr., the drunken son of Judge John Phillips, has been sent to reform. The story opens on the night before Christmas sad th* judge ts expected home t* attend a wedding of a friend.

New Comic Opera.

Dainty and full of sparkle and the weird croon of the folk-song, minus tights nnd other heretofore believed necessities, "The Emerald Isle" was presented at the Herald Square Theater by the Messrs. Bhubert. Jeff De Angells was the star and the opera the last handiwork of the late GUbert-Sullivan combination. In fact, the work was unfinished when Sir Arthur Sullivan died, and was completed by Edwin Gorman, who did hts work well. The opera Is the apotheosis of nil the Andrew Mack, Chauncey Olcott, Brandon Tyn; O’Connor Roach plays. It Is a delight satire, on the same us well, and some the lines of Capt.
