On Monday and Thursday afternoons at the NEW MUSICAL STUDIO Mrs. C L, Andrews

Vocal and Instrumental Music Taught. fmuscmcnb Very Clever. William II. West's big minstrel jubilee proved to be true to name at the Gennett theater last night. The company, while not as large in number as some that have visited the c-ity during the season, but was much larger than several of the "big ones" when it came to furnishing an evening's entertainment. Each and every member of the company was an artist t in his particular line, and, a suit, the audience was moi a rothati pleased. John King, Hilly ChuL and Fred Iluber furnished fun by the barrel. The solo numbers by Chas. E. Foreman, Wm. Agall, James II. Sadler and the numbers by the octette were especially p leasing, while the topical pongs, by the comedians, were fresh and tuneful. The olio included a number of excellent features. J. A. Probst, in imitation og birds, animals and machinery, was the peer of any imitator that has ever appeared before a local audience. Kartelli, the Great, in his slack wire, balancing and bicycle act presented a decided novelty and bis work was heartily applauded. Fred May's manipulations of the "devil sticks" was a unhme feature and was well received, as was Billy Clark, in "Mind Wandering." "The Wizard of Boz" was really funny. Ordinarily as the time approaches for a minstrel show to close its performance, the alleged "funny afterpiece" is introduced, while the audience suffers. Such was not the case last night, for the piece was not only something new in its way, but the vocal numbers and orchestra work challenged the admiration of all.

Voices Tested Free NO. 28 NORTH 1 1th "New England Folks" will be presented at the Gennett February 25. Those who have witnessed 1 ' 'Way Down East" and "Quincy Adams Sawyer" know what to expect a finished production. Clay Clement, in the "New Dominion" comes to the Gennett February 20." Of this splendid actor and gentleman little need be said. Theater goers are well acquainted with his charming personality, ami his great success iii the play he prcscuits. The Gennett theater will be taxed to the utmost f so;f the audience that will w;. ness the "Xew Dominion." Mr. Clement has presented the play in Richmond and it made a decided "hit." A sure cure for despondency would be to visit Blondell ami Fennessy's "Katzenjammer Kids," a three-act comedy riot, that is to appear at the Gennett theater tonight. The mere mention of the name "Katzenjamraer" has often been the means of bringing a broad smile to the countenance of many who have been in the habit of scrutinizing the New York and Chicago papers for the ludicrous cartoons pertaining to the mischievotts antics of the "kids.M Now the theter-going pubic have the opportunity of witnessing the real article right at their very doors, as the management have put, or in other words, brought together a coterie of j comedians for the sole purpose of depicting as nearly as possible, the absurd doings of the "kids" as portrayed in the eastern papers. A large and capable company, new and startling electrical, mechanical and scenic effects, together with a chorus of twenty beautiful and cultured female voices, good speeiatlies, new and catchy music, are ony a few of the good and entertaining things with this show that can be looked for.

Richmond played polo last night and Indianapolis didn't. The game was fast from a home standpoint, and the audience wondered how the Indians won from Marion the evening before.

Indianapolis could strengthen their team materially by signing young Quigley, first rush of the Fairview team of the City league. He is a eo"-"--v. He would win more rushes than any man on the Indianapolis team, and he is a goal getter. Indianapolis woufd surely make no mistake by doing this. He is the star of the City league. The Fairview team clearly outclassed the Alfords at the Coliseum last night. The entire Fairview team played a brilliant game, the rushers making some very pretty passes and goals. The Alfords played hard, but they were unlucky, and the rushers eouM not have "hit a balloon with a base fiddle" last night, they having several pretty passes and missed them. The score resulted 5 to 1 in favor of Fairview. Perfect Confidence. Where there used to be a feeling of uneasiness and worry in the household when a child showed symptoms of croup, there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Chamberlain's Couh Rcmcdy in the treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. I. Basford, of Poolesville, Md., in speaking of her experience in the use of that remedy savs: "I have a world of confidence in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for I have used it with perfect sneers. Mv child Garland is subject to severe attacks of croup and it always gives him prompt relief." For sale bv A. G. Luken & Co. and W. H. Sudhoff, corner fifth and Main streets.

GREAT PIECE l)F STAGE MECHANISM How Realistic Effects Are Produced in the Chariot Race in "Ben-Hur." Much interest has been manifested concerning the mechanical methods of the thrilling chariot race employed in Klaw & Erlanger's stupendous production of General Wallace's famous religious spectacle, "Ben-Hur," which is to be presented at the Victoria theater, Dayton, Ohio, for a period of six nights, beginning Thursday evening, February 25, and ending Wednesdaj' evening, March 2, with matinees on Saturday and Wednesday. In this great arenic contest the spectator sees eight horses galloping at break-neck speed and straining every muscle to gain the advantage in the race within the amphitheater. Behind each quartet of horses is a Roman chariot. The wheels revolve rapidly; the chariots lurch and sway and the flaming beribboned garments of the drivers flutter behind them, adding intensity to the realism of the scene. The illusion is still 'further increased as the interior wall of the amphitheater moves along and the dust flies in blinding clouds beneath the crushing wheels of the chariots. The clatter of the rushing hoofs of the horses and the rumble of the chariots are distinctly heard. Elaborate mechanism and applications of electricity produce this great effect. The mechanism of the two cradles, twenty feet in length and fourteen feet wide ,and which are movable back and forth on railways, is supported by a bridge structure capable of holding twenty tons. The tops of the cradles are two inches above the level of the stage. Each cradle bears the four horses and the chariot of each contestant. On each cradle there are fourt runways and treadmills of hickory slats two inches wide and covered with rubber; they are twelve feet long and two and a half feet wide. On each of these treadmills a horse is secured by steel cable traces, which hold him

in place and prevent him from moving forward off the runways. As each horse gallops, the treadmill revolves under his feet, thereby eliminating the forward pressure created by the impact of his hoofs which would force him ahead on an immovable surface. By this mechanical arrangement it is possible for the horses actually to gallop with all their speed within the space of their own length. It is considered the most realistic effect ever seen upon the stage. When "Ben-Hur" was presented in London, at the Drury Lane theater, the present King of England witnessed it twice and then commanded a royal box to be built in the center of the pit of the theater, so that he could more thoroughly enjoy the great race scene. The Daton & Western Traction company have made arrangements to run cars for special service during the performance and every accommodation will be afforded. , ' H ANNA'S OPINION OF BEVERIDGE. Senator Beveridge, author of the Russian Advance, is considered a young man in the senate. On his entrance upon his senatorial duties at the age of thirty-six, the older senators did not look with favor upon this innovation. Since then, however, he has won the confidence of the senate in a remarkable degree, and has been made a member of the Republican "steering committee" bv the older senators, who have come to place high estimate on his judgment. He is now regarded as one of the most conservative men in the body and one of its hardest working members. One day in the cloak-room of the senate Mr. Beveridge 's ability was mentioned in the presence of. Senator Hanna. "Beveridge," replied Hanna, "why he does as much work as any three men in the senate rut together." WATSON'S BOSTON SPEECH. Representative Bout ell, of Illinois, who accompanied Representative Watson to Boston last week, says the Indiana member made an excellent impression on the Bostonians. "It was Watson's first visit to the New England city," said Boutell, "and he spent most of the day seeing the sights. The speech was before the National Association of Woolen Goods Manufacturers. "T never was

in this city before,' Watson said in his speech, 'and I do not know much about your city, but understand that von are groat makers of woolen goods. T want to say, after having braved this east wind for ten hours, that if there is a place on this earth where you need wool it is here.' " ft

o o o o o o m o m o A REDHEADED . GIR.L Dy C. 23. LEWIS' Copyright, 1003, by T. C. McCluro O o S o o e 00000OoOOC000CC It was while the brig Daisy, Captain Josiah Barnes, master, lay at Port au Prince, after loading up, that a redheaded girl came aboard to secure passage to Boston. She had gone to the island from Salem two years before with an American family as governess, but had become tired of it and desired to get back to the United States. The wife of Captain Barnes was aboard, and his crew numbered seven men. He had also taken as passengers two American sea captains whose vessels had been shipwrecked among the West Indian islands. If it hadn't been that one of the captains offered to surrender his stateroom to the redheaded girl and sleep in the main cabin on a shakedown she could not have taken passage by the Daisy. Indeed it was a close shave at best, as Mrs. Barnes, who was fat, forty and plain faced, looked her over and said to her husband: "Josiah, she's redheaded, and that means that she's giddy .and sassy." "Yes; she's got red hair," replied the captain, "but I don't see nothin' giddy about her. She looks as sober as any gal with any colored hair, and that passage money will come in handy for us. She'll probably be seasick clear up to Boston light and not eat $2 worth of provisions." "Well, we'll take her," said Mrs. Barnes, with a doubtful shake of the head, "but you see if it don't result in a tornado, waterspout or calamity of some kind. Redheaded girls are born to make trouble." A day later the Daisy weighed anchor and set out on tier return voyage, and the attitude of the redheaded girl as she moved about was so demure that the captain almost felt like patting her on the head and speaking words of sympathy and encouragement. The brig sailed at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the girl passenger did not make her appearance at the table at noon. Mrs. Barnes' motherly heart forced her to look into the stateroom and offer her services, but at the same time she was secretly glad to f.:id the redheaded girl in her berth and apparently, suffering the pangs of seasickness. Something like a surprise party awaited the dame when supper time came THE BKDHEADED GJRTj WALKED THE DECK WITH A CAi'TAJN OS EACH SIDE. round. She was thinking of making a cup of tea with her own hands and adding a slice of dry toast when the redheaded girl suddenly appeared in the cabin fully dressed and looking as pert and saucy as if the old brig rested in a cornfield instead of climbing up and down watery bills of exceeding steepness. "La. but haven't you been seasick!" exclaimed the captain's wife after a long stare. "Of course not," was the reply. "And you ain't goin' to be?" "I hope not. Where are the gentlemen? They must have missed me. I'm so glad I'm the only girl aboard, as I will have them all to myself. Do you know if both captains are married men?" "Yes, ma'am; I know what they are, and each one is the father of at least 'leven children," replied Mrs. Barnes, with great emphasis, being determined to crush the redheaded girl at the very outset. "Well, they can flirt with me for a few days just the same," said the girl as she surveyed herself in the cracked mirror hanging over the table. At supper the redheaded girl made herself thoroughly Vat home." She laughed and chatted and made eyes, and Mrs. Barnes could not help but see that her own captain, as well as the two others, was more than interested. She grew red in the face, and her blood boiled, and as soon as the meal was finished and the girl had gone on deck, escorted by the two other captains, she drew herself up before her liege lord witli folded arms and demanded: "Josiah Barnes of Providence, what did r tell you?" "I dunno," he absently replied. "Don't lie to me, sir! I told you that redheaded girl was an Impudent minx,

ll

and rny words have come true. She even made eyes at you across the table." "I I didn't see 'em if she did." ."You saw 'cm - and almost blushed. -Josiah Barnes, that girl has got to stop or tsbe'll get a piece of my mind that will make her red hair curl. I won't stand by and see no such chit make fools of three or four men who ought to know better." The captain's advice was for her to go slow, and he was glad to get on deck and out of reach of her tongue. That was the beginning of things. That night the redheaded girl walked the deck with a captain on each side of her. The next day the "minx" got a piece of Mrs. Barnes mind. It was a liberal piece and ought to have brought her to her knees, but it didn't. On the contrary, after she got fairly started the redheaded girl got off three words to the other's one and read her a long ami severe lecture on minding her own business. In this lecture were included a few observations on false teeth and gray hairs, and when the battle was over it was the motherly Mrs. Barnes who didn't know where she was at. She tried to get even by calling her husband into the cabin and telling him what was what and that she'd take good care to see that everybody in Providence' heard of it, but LJs reply was: "It's all nonsense In your sayin' that I've fallen in love with that girl, but I'm tellin you that redheaded women are just the nicest things out, and I don't care who hears me say so." Inside of four days the redheaded girl was flirting with everything and everybody clear down to the cook, and of course jealousy crept in. The three captains hurled sarcastic remarks at each other, and the mate and carpenter had a glare in their eyes and a feeling of revenge in their breasts. Mrs. Barnes tried again and again to stem the tide, but in vain, and at length she took refuge in tears and predictions. The Daisy sailed on and on, and the flirtations went on and on, and as the brig crept up the coast Mrs. Barnes "felt it in her bones" that Boston would never be reached. The redheaded girl had brought disorganization from cabin to bowsprit and almost taken command. "You jest wait, Josiah Barnes you jest wait for Cape Cod," the captain'swife grimly repeated a dozen times a day, and Cape Cod was finally reached. Then a gale sprang up. the big briglost her foremast, and, though the redheaded girl sought her stateroom and the crew was left free to battle with the storm, the craft was driven ashore and became a total wreck. Crew and passengers were saved, and in due timeCaptain Barnes appeared at the office of the owners in Boston to tell how it all happened. He was listened to until he had finished, and then the head of the firm handed him a letter that had been received the day before. It was from Martha, and it read: I want to report that the Daisy 1 ashore on Cape Cod and a total wreck, and I want to report that a redheaded g-al and a lot of fool men are the cause of it.

Write Notes to Themselves. "Actors are great hands to write 'mash' notes to themselves," said a stage manager. "The leading young men, you see the heroes that marry the beautiful girls are supposed to attract to the. theater myriads of young women. They draw big pay on this account; their friends talk seriously of the powerful, almost hypnotic, influences that they exert on romantic females. This power is the stock in trade of the actor who travels on hisbeauty instead of on his art, and he must always have tangible proof of it. So if the young women don't come up each mail with a bunch of authentic mash notes, he sees to it anyway that he gets mash notes all right. He times them so that they reach the theater during rehearsal. The manager every afternoon brings them to him a half dozen pink and blue and cream envelopes, smelling of violet and orris. He takes them with a guffaw, reads them, passes them around. Every one pretends to be amused at their silly contents, but the minute the actor's back is turned the murmur passes back, and forth: 'They're fakes. He wrote them himself. He spends two hours a day writing himself mash note?.' To tell the truth, this actor gets a number of authentic mash notes, but nobody believes it. It is thought that every note is a fake." Washington Tost. "Barher, Itarler, Shave n Vlg." In pig killing there is no more exciting moment than that of removing the bristles from the carcass. With such haste does the operation sometimes have to be accomplished that In a certain country family it was begun one day with a pair of fine brass candlesticks before the usual utensils could be found. When Salmon F. Chase was at Kenyon college, which was then presided; over by his uncle, Bishop Philander Chase, he encountered a similar difficulty and cut the knot with unhesitating decision. The bishop and most of the elders went away one morning, ami young Salmon was ordered to kill and dress a pig while they were gone. He found no great trouble in catching and slaughtering a fat young "porker." and he had the tub of hot water all ready for scalding.' This process should have loosened the bristles, but either the water was too hot or the pig was kept soaking to long: at any rate, when the boy began scraping the bristles not one of them, could be started. In pig killing phrase., they were "set." What could lie do? Then he bethought him of his cousin's razors, a fine new pair, just suited to the use of their owner, a spruce young clergyman. He pilfered them and shaved the pig from toe to snout. Youth's Companion. ;
