THEATRICAL NOTES.

Manager Towle has a real genuine musical treat in store for his many patrons in the engagement of the famous operatic comedy success, '"The T nOerfoot" which opens a one night r: sagement at the Towle opera house Vrdneday. Sept. 12. "The Tenderfoot" contains more real musical compositions than several comic operas and comedies combined. The bok is by Richard Carle who infufted hid very best efforts into the lines while the bright, catchy, jinglingmusic la from the master hand of II. L. Ileartz. No piece in years, has cored so triumphantly as "The Tenderfoot." The presenting company is exceptionally large and most evenly balanced. The scenic environment is entirely new, while the costuming has ben given moce than passing notice. Several of the gowns worn by both the principals and chorus contingents being creations of art. Oscar L. Finnegan will again be een In the character of Professor Pettibone, Roberta Wilson, as a prima donna of note, as Marlon, Louise Drackctt as Sally, Grace Sloan as Patsy and Harry B. Wiliams as Hop Lee. The new dramatic stock company at the Chicago opera hause has scored heavily, and has started on a career that is bright with promise of success. The bill for the opening week, Mrs. Dean's Defense, gives every member of the company good opportunity for the display of talent and none fall to avail themselves of It to the full. "William Hramwell is entirely happily cast as Sir Daniel, and Katherine Grey gives a strong portrayal of urs. Dane. The remainder of the campany do sterling work. The production is elaborate and reflects the greatest credit on stage director Frederic Sullivan. The bill for the coming week will be "Mrs. Letllinwell's Boots," the brilliant, satirical farcical comedy by August Thomas tn which Margaret Illlngton appeared with bo great success last season at Powers theatre. The piece is In diametrical contrast to the current bill and will prove the versatility of the members of the company. Elev.en performances will be given each week, matinees being given Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The new bill will be presented at the Sunday matinee in each week. The Sousa Opera Company in the "March King's" latest, and universally eonceded best, comic opera composition, "The Free Lance," has scored the most distinctive success at the Illinois theatre, Chicago, of any musical production heard In that city for years. The theatre has been crowded at every performance with enthusiastic audiences and the press are unanimous In the lavish praise of the stirring rhythmic melodlen, the splendid singingand acting organization and the sumptuous surroundings which have been furnished this bright, musical gem. The last week of the engagement begins Sunday night, September 9th, the final performance being Saturday, September 15th. Following "The -"e Lance" at the Illinois, Lillian Rw vill be seen in her new departure as the star of a new comedy written especially for her by Paul M. rotter, entitled 'Barbara's Millions." Miss Russell's chango from queen of comic opera to that of stellar feature of legitimate comedy and the. first production of the new play by a dramatist of Mr. Potter's reputation, should serve as dual novelty, and an appetiaing morceau to the thousands of theatre goers who have seen this beautiful singer as the shining light of the most important musical attractions of late years. The company supporting Miss Russell is composed entirely of prominent players, well-known from their successes In the most notable dramatic presentations of the highest class. They are: H. Reeves Smith, Ferdinand Gottschalk. CI. Harrison Hunter, Ernest Elton, Walter Craven, Catherine Countiss, Mattie Ferguson and Irene Perry. Paul M. potter, the author of "Barbara's Millions." has evolved many dramatic successes, notably that of "Trilby," one of the most successful dramatizations, and in his latest effort is said to have written a brilliant com edy, dealing with the brighter side of life, Introducing dramatic Incidents, effective situations, clever complica tlons, novel scenic effects and replete With terse, bright epigrammatleal dia logue; and, among the many well-de fined characters, has furnished Miss llussell with a role eminently fitted to show tho fair cantatrice to as great ad vantage as' a comedienne as she has ever heretofore appeared In musical productions. The engagement is for two weeks and matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Seat and box sale will open Thursday, September 13th. IXDElTsorTIIEHN SKIES.' One of the events of the season will be the return to our city of "Under Southern Skies" on Sunday, Sept. 16. nt the Towle opera house. This fav orite attraction is always sure of a big house when visiting our city as Its merits are well and favorably known and appreciated here. That our judg ment is endorsed by the theatergoers of other cities is proven by the fact that "Under Southern Skies" is now in its sixth year upon the road and reports give the play the credit of playing to even larger houses this year than ever before in Us history. The drama seems to possess a fascina tion that draws peopla to witness it again and again, hence the reason of its unbounded popularity, for it re tains its old admirers from season to season and Is constantly making new ones. The management has made strenuous efforts to keep up the stan dard of excellence set by the produe tion in previous seasons. Every year something new has been offered in the Hallowe'en celebration to give nov elty from season to season, and this year still carries out that policy. The arrangement of the dances and son will be entirely different from those of last season. Also every bit ef scenery used in the play Is entirely new and new costumes have been provided. Mark Twain's daughter. Miss Clara Clemens, will make her American de but as a concert singer on the evening i of Sept. 22 at Norwalk, Conn. Miss Clemens made her first appearance in a professional way at Florence, Italy under favorable auspices. She has i rich contralto voice of unusual clarity and beauty, and for years has ben devoting herself to its cultivation.

EAHSAS EETTZE LOOK OUT

Connecticut la Crowding Her 3Iighty Close in the Matter of Tall Corn. Hartford. Conn., Sept 12. Anybody caring to see what Connecticut can produce in the matter of corn should walk down Fisufry street, cros the railroad tracks and look at a field on the sooth side of the street. The corn is a few rods east of the track belongs to Oliver T. Mather, and most of the crop will be used for filling a silo. At the south end of the field is a shed covered by boards sixteen feet from the ground; the sill of the shed is probably a little above the ground, but the near-by stalks of corn reach well above the eaves of the building, as one can sea at a glance across the street. A man who enters the field is lost to eignt m a moment, and there is notnins? for him to do but to keep between

The Variety Artistes' Federation, representing Great Britain, and the International Artistes' Lodge, representing the continent of Europe, are joining forces for mutual protection, and recently sent a delegate to New York to seek the co-operation of the White Rats, and so form an international body with a membership of 10,000. To protect themselves, against such a formidable organization the European managers held a secret meeting here and formed a federation taking in the proprietors of practically every variety theater In Europe. Oswald Stoll, representing the managers, has left for New York with the purpose of arrnng- j Ing with managers in the United States a common policy against the forciug tactics on the part of the performers. Car Strikes a Carryall. Chicago, Sept. 12. A carryall containing a party of young people returning from Manhattan beach was struck by an electric car at Jeffrey avenue and Seventy-fifth street. Geo.

The day was set, preparations were made for the wedding and the guests were assembled. The appointed hour arrived, and the bridegroom did not appear. Another hour of waiting, and still he tarried. The young lady's father became impatient. "I'm going to hunt him up," he said. A half hour's drive brought him to the Marsh home. "Where Is Frank?" he demanded. "He went down cellar to pick over some potatoes, seeing it's so rainy," was the response. "What do you mean by not coming to the wedding?" demanded the irate prospective father-in-law of the tardy bridegroom. "It rains so hard I thought you wouldn't have the wedding," Marsh replied, "but I'll fix up and ride back with you, seeing everybody's there." Boston Herald. IlaeoVel Visiting Darrrta. When the carriage drew up before Darwin's house, with its ivy and shadowy elms, the great scientist stepped out of the shade of the creeper covered porch to meet me. He had a tall and venerable appearance, with the broad shoulders of an Atlas that bore a world of thought; a Jove-like forehead as we see in Goethe, with a lofty and broad vault deeply furrowed by the plow of intellectual work. The tender and friendly eyes were over

The noble expression of the whole face, the easy and soft voice, the slow and careful pronunciation, the natural and simple tenor of bis conversation, took my heart by storm in the first hour that we talked together, just as his great work had taken my intelligence by storm at the first reading.

Keeping His Eye cn Cuba in Case It Might Bo Necessary to "Do Things." DES MOINES GOES TO KEY "WEST Heady to Steam to Havana in Case of Developments.

The critical 8ltuatIou in Cuba ,a absorbing the atV ' olutlonary cry development of the rev movement in Cuba, and Is in constant communication by wire with the oflicials here, who are In receipt of detailed Instructions from him as to what they fehall do.

Morgan, the United States ruiHister at Havana, is in Europe ou a vacation. Sleeper, the secretary of the United States legation at Havana, is acting as c-hargo, and supplying the state department with a daily bulletin containing such facts as he is able to gather there.

Question of Intervention. It is said on the highest authority that there will be no intervention by the United States uuless the rebellion nss-uines the proportions of a general conflagration. It Is further stated that there has been no application for intervention from any authorized party. None of the capitalists of this country Interested in Cuban institutions and properties has expressed a desire for the intervention of this government, they being on the contrary averse to intervention because of the destruction of property that would result. ARMY AND NAVY PREPARING Just Getting Into Shape in Case of a Sudden Emergency. The development of the day was the admission that the United States cruiser Des Moines has gone southward to Key West with the ultimate purpose of proceeding to Havana If developments within the next two days seem to warrant such action. At Key West the Des Moines will be about five hours run from Havana. There is no Intention in this movement of the Des Moines toward partiality toward one side or the other in the present conflict in Cuba. The ship will be at Havana to serve as an asylum in case of need, and be at the disposition of the United States charge. It is believed that there will be no difficulty in dispatching almost immediately from the home ports any naval force that might be required in Cuba. For Its part the army is prepared to answer any call, though there are absolutely no orders yet from the president or secretary of war. The individual officers responsible for campaign work are merely making ready for any emergency without specific instructions. In case the United States government rinds it necessary to intervene in Cuban affairs under the provisions of the riatt amendment, which gives this government power to maintain public order, the forces which would have to be used for that purpose would be found in a much better state of preparation than when hostilities began between the United States and Spain. The long military occupation of Cuba by the United States troops afforded an opportunity to army oftieers to become familiar with the island, and probably no portion of the earth is betof the United States than the island of Cuba. It is not expected that a large force would be used in case of intervention at least, not for some time, and not . untii demonstration of the need of a ; iarge force. All of the supply depart ments or trie army nave on nana all that is necessary for any force which may be deemed necessary for a first expedition. THERE'S A LULL. IN TI1E WAR Cubans Are Indulging in Chin Muslo New Peace Propositions. Havana, Sept. 12. So far as war developments went yesterday was one of the quietest since the outbreak of the insurrection; but the public interest was deeper and discussion more animated and earnest than on any preceding day. The government's outright declaration that the war will be prose-

Lave spread throughout the prorlncea is not doubted in any quarter. All the publishers and editors of newspaper tvere summoned to the office of the secretary of the interior and informed that while the suspension of constitutional rights had not affected the customary liberty of the press the publication of anything that might be construed as incendiary, or

in any way inciting would not be tolerated to rev.-rfntion, I The Liberal a i daily newspaper, has been suspended by order of the government and the ! editor arrested. The veterans ieace committee has submitted the following bases for peace propositions, and the executive committee of the Moderateparty unanimously accepted them and promised to lend its services heartily toward pacification through this uieaus: Repeal of the general electoral law and the new judicial law permitting the permanent tenure of omces by judges; prohibiting the discharge of public employes without full hearings and investigations: not permitting the suspension of mayors or aldermen without court trials; declaring for the complete au- j tonomv of municipalities in acvordanre ! with the constitution: nrovhiinsr for thm i formation of the municipality of 11aimQ fl distriet offi. . rials of which shall be named by a commission appointed by congress: favoring a new election law which shall provide that registrations be supervised by judicial authorities, election boards to consist of judicial authorities and delegates from each pi'.rty, and declaring that each party shall have absolute respect for the rights of minorities in all elections.

HEARING AT CHICAGO Interstate Commerce Board to Gather Information on Changes in Railway Rates. Washington, Sept. 12. In view of j the number of petitions and requests j which have reached the interstate commerce commission to allow changes in export and import rates on less than thirty days' notice the commission has determined to conduct an inquiry into the whole subject at Chicago on Tuesday, Sept. IS, in the United States court rooms, beginning at 2 p. m.

After trying to transact1 business amid cries of "louder" from the delegates on the floor a motion was made to adjourn, and a special committee was sent out to try and secure another hall. - Why Sensational ?

Finding 31ot Interesting Chapter. Women as a class are credited with having no scruples about opening a book at the middle or end or anywhere else they may expect to find the most interesting .chapter. A frequent feminine visitor at libraries was overheard

revealing to a friend of her own fox her secret of locating at once the most thrilling chapter in any book, no matter how unfamiliar one may be with I- "You simply close it tight," she said, "and glance along the edge or the leaves. It Is seldom. Indeed, that you do not notice a distinct Hue, or even more than one, caused by a number of edges soiled slightly more than those about them. Open the book there and you have the best chapter." A librarian explained this by saying that the reading and rereading of the particularly interesting chapters of a book naturally cause certain pages and their edges to be more soiled. Of course the longer the book has teen in circulation the more distinct are the marks. Philadelphia Record. A Elt of Fairyland.
