THE LAKOASTEB DAILY lNTJaLLIGg&b3fc SATUttPAY, OCTXfimTss
IK new theatre which, while it lias net Ixwn
constructed en the tnngnlflcent scale which
characterises Chicago's auditorium, is rtill
worthy of mention as one of the finest tho the tho
,atres In the country. It is called the Tro Tre Tro
ment. The appended cut gives a very geed
idea of the appearance of the Interior.
Bpacleusnesj is the characteristic of the -Tremont
that, perhaps, makes the most
marked irapreslsen upon the audience. J
The entrance and fejer, with the bread
stairway leading te the balcony, seems
te have lieen constructed nnd arranged
without the slightest thought of cost. With
in the auditorium thore Is tie sarae generous
prevision for the comfort of patrons bread
alstes and ;ytssageways, the roomy, luxuri
ously upholstered chairs of the Harwood de-
trnw nninnfl ATTntTntitirtf
vice In the orchestra, and every seat In every
part of the heuse commanding an unob
structed view of the stage. .
Biaxen tomase balvim. I
It Is prebable that no European ncter, with
tbopeeslblo exception of Henry Irving, will
pvcrmcclvea mere enthuslastioviclcemoln
the United States than did Blgnur Tomase
Belvlnl. Toe many biographies and sketches
of Salvlnl's life have been published te make
one interesting new, nnd it U even unneces
sary te say that he Is acknowledged te tie the
leading living exponent of the Italian nchoel
of acting. Many old theatre geem, who have
learned te ndmira him during bis former
tours in America, will be sorry te learn that
be has fully resolved te make the present hit
farewell appearance en this tlde of the water.
Salvinl, like most men who have made rio rie rio
clded succcsses, has many little peculiarities
and seme big ones. He Is a man of strict nnd
precise Ideas of morality lieth In social nnd
business Ilfe, and when en the stage he Insists
that everything shall be dene exactly ni It
should be. In Ilolegna, sevcrnl years age, be
was announced te appear In Otholle, his first
representation of the character In that city. I
The character of Iago was entrusted te n well
known nnd popular leading man, Hlgner Pic
clnlnl, n man of Immcnie stnture nnd physical
strength. At the preliminary rehearsal nil
went well until the famous scene In Act III
between Othelle nud Iago, when at nn Im
portant juncture Pjcclnlnl was found te lie
en the wrong slde of the stage. I
Big. Salvinl quietly and politely pointed I
out te him his mistake, and requested him te J
take the ether slde when giving the actual
performance. Plcclnlnl grumbllngly con- I
scnted te de se, saying that although be could
net tee that It mede much difference, yet be
"suppemd," when the time canto, that lis
would assiune the position dcsli ed by the star, i
"Veu supposel" oxclaiined Hnlvinl. "Nay,
sir, you will 1 there." When night cams
things went smoothly until this oryKeetio, '
when clther bitentienally or mera prelmbly
through forgetfulncfs, Plcclnlnl again took
bis stand upon the wrong nlde.
Balvlnl t topping deeil in his part, talked
deliberately across the stage, seized the as
tonished Iago by the watet, nnd carrying the '
six-footer across the stage as If he wero a !
child, deposited him en the desired spot, with I
the nudlule exclamation, "Veu shall stay
tlicrel" Fer a moment the audience, com
pletely taken nback, was silent, but, grasping
the situation, the honse broke out with n el
ley of tumultuous applause. Plcclnlnl, even
mere thunderstruck than the audience, sim
ply tievrcd te Othelle, nnd the performance
went en.
At the end of the act there was a vocifer
ous "call," the audlence being fairly mud
with oxcltement, but this was nothing te the
entbuslastte uproar which ensued when the
two actors, bend In hand, apiiearcd before
the curtain in answer te the calL It was a
genuine, ovation te both men te ene as the
teacher of a lessen, te the ether as its leclpb
ent Frem that night until peer Picclulnl's
death the two actors were tlie warmest nnd
best of friends, nnd whan Piccinlnl, through
less of his sight, was forced te leave the
stage, the people of Ilolegna were the first te
come forward with such liberal nld as placed
him beyond the reach of waut for thn re
mainder of his life.

WHOLIiiWIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The Leading Clubs Have Ist Ooed Men

the freshman Clacses 1'elnts About the
1'Uyers and Their Positions.
The annual season of thn cellege "feet-ball
man's" greatness Is upon us.
Once mere that worthy Is a power in the
land. Whlle his groveling follesrs who pre
fer mathematics te athletics are plottlngjm plettlngjm
aglnary curves nnd angles and calculating
theoretical velocities, en paper, he Is describ
ing actual curves and angles and becoming
acquainted with extremely matter-of-fact
elecltlcs, en the field.
Ills bookish companions are plodding along
In the hope of achieving fome at soma distant
day. The feet-ball man may make a national
though, perhaps, ephemeral name for him
self In the next two months. Bbakospeara
nays "seme men have greatness thrust upon
tliem." Tlie modern college feet-ball player
Is sure te have greatness thrust upon hln, if
greatness of no mero pleasing kind than the
avoirdupois greatness of the opposing "rush
line." In the language, of the familiar phrase
be may awata from the state of coma caused
by the sudden descent of his opponents' bodies
ujKin him te find hlmse.lt famous.
New that the ten months of chrysalis ox ex ox
Isbnice of the "football man" In the bookish
atmosphere Is ever and the dull bookworm
Is ready te bud Inte the athletle butterfly,
the football players nnd would-be. football
players In all the great Institutions of learn
ing are liestlrrlng Ihemsclves. The devotees
of the game at Vale, Harvard, Princeton,
Vesliiynn ni! the University of Pennsyl
vania are the chief objects of Interest te
levers of the sjiert, Inasmuch as these col
leagues comjKwe the Intercollegiate Football
association. And, although the season is net
yet fairly under way, the all absorbing quos ques quos
tlen, "Who will win the champlenshlpl" is
already a mooted question in the eastern col cel col
lege werM
It Is tee early yet te draw accurate conclu
sions, but en the basts of precedent Yale
should carry oil the championship flags.
Blnce the Introduction of the llugby game In
1870 her representative kickers hnve scored
homethlng like fXI goals te all their oppo
nents' combined total of less than half a
dozen goals, and but onceln these thirteen
years hns the peunant wandered away from
ber keeping. Hence precedent would seem
te tiaine her M the champion of 'SO, but Iter
wonderful recerd Is sure te be breken sooner
or later, and very likely this may be the "oil
year."
Whether or no the championship remains
nt New Haven, It may be pretty safely as
sumed that the actual struggle for the pen
nant will lie confined bj Yale, Harvard and
Princeton. Wcle)anaud the University of
Pennsylvania oftentimes put very fair teams
Inte the field, and their cxpoueuts play foot
ball as hard ns they kuew hew,
They hnve nover ceme within cannon shot
of the championship, however, and crnak
football players naturally ally themsulvet
.with a college lu whose service their prowess
may be rewarded by victory. Be it Is that
Yale, Harvard nnd Princeton always have
nud have hud better football material than
either of their rivals. That being the case,
tbelr successive teams have mero expert ad
visers in the pel sons of former members of
the 'varsity elevens. Then again, at the
threo leading colleges, football has been re
duced te n science, the traditions left by
previous football stars are mere carefully
studied or Improved upon, nnd far mere In
terest In the game, and, hence, encourage
ment for the players, are manifested by the
college at large. Thanks te all these advan
tages, Ynle, Harvard and Princeton havs
forged ahead of their rivals in the game.
This year Ynle is mero unfertunate than
nny of her rivals in the less of members el
her last year's team by graduation. Thai
team was made up In thU wayt
llushers Wallace, '89; Rhede, '91; Hiaie,
finger, 'Ol a; Woodruff, '89; GUI, '9; Cor Cer
bln,'89, and Stagg, P. O. j half bocks droves,
PI, and McClung, 'te; quarter back Wur Wur
temberg, '89 8.; full back Hull, P. O.
As appears fiem this showing, flve of tin
cloven graduated last June nnd Hull, who
was taking a ixwt groduate ceurse, lias com
pleted his studies. One of the flve graduatei
(Gill) has returned this fall for pest graduati
study, se that the team loses but five old mem
but the flve men lest wero the mainstays ei
the team, all bclug old nnd experienced
players.
Of the old team there remain as a nucleui
for this yciir'scleveiiUlll, Stags, HefllefingHr,
Rhodes, MeClung nud Graves. All of thess
men will doubtless play this year, se that but
flve new men will have te be breken In. Mo Me Mo
llrlde, IK) 8., who was a substitute en last
year's team, will probably make the team
this year. Hartwcll, Harvey and Newell,
nU substitutes last year, ure still In college,
and may get en the team, though it is scarce
ly prolmble that mere than ene of thorn w III
attain that honor. It Is tee early te tell w hal
fixitliall talentmay be hidden lu the ebscurl
ty of the freshmau class, but Cant. Qllla
heady has his men at actlve practice and tht
coming men of might wilt seen be disco v
ered. Judging from the practice, games se
far plajed at New Haven, the teain for 18a
w til be fully as heavy as that of last year.
Some of the new comers at Ynle whehavi
se far show ed up w ell in the practice play an
Harbour, who captained the. Kieter team last
jear; Miss, who halls from Andever, ami
Fallows, who was formerly an Instructor In
the I-xeter, gymnasium. As yet no ene w he
has get drop kicking down te the fine art te
which Hull of lest ) ear's team had reduced It
has been found, though Mcilrlde may possibly
fill the bill. Football levers will romembor
that but for Hull's magnificent work In tht
field nt last ) ear's Yale-Princeton game ths
weartrs of the blue would preliably have bit
the dust. Anether unpleasantly big hole te
be filled Is that of ceuUr rasher acated by
Cei bin's graduation. Substitute Newell
played center rusher against Cerbiu lu the
practice games last year, and may train up
te Cerbiu's place. Cerbln was a very steady,
I ellablw and cool player, hewe or, nnd Nun el)
will lue te lmpre e a geed deal If be wants
te till the shoes of the departed great man.
Harvard has lest most of her last year's
players, but fche has plenty of trained men en
hand, mul the team for VJ will probably be
fully us Btreng ns Its predecessor, if net su
perior. The elm en last jear was:
Rushers, V. Harding, Davis, Trafferd,
Cranston, Carpenter, Weedman nud Cum
nock; quarter back.O, Harding; halt backs,
Pertir mul I.oe; full back, Bears.
A majority of these players will be mlssuig
this )ear nheu the crimson steckiiiged men
"line up"ngatiist their football adversaries,
Full Hack Sears, Half Hack Perter, Quarter
Hack Harding mid Rushers Harding and
Davis being among the absentees. Last year's
center rusher, Cranston, has returned. He
U a capital center rusher and snapper back.
Despite these losses Harvard will still have
her exceedingly clever cud rusher, Cumnock.
who, by the way, cnptelns the team; her no
less sprightly half back, Uw, who get ever
the ground at an uiuazhig rate last jisir, and
quarterback Harding. In the way of ex
perienced players, who have net bet 11 in the
team, she. has no end of men. llakcr, Allen
nnd Urecks, all of VJ, who often played with
the 'varsity last year, are all back this year
nnd will probably try for the elev en. Yeung
Feihall Iveone. the dare devil nelnkt. will
it It said, strlve te gain honor for the fresh
men cluss by making u breaking for the unl
v erslty team. Denuiseu, 'te, may come back
te college and take up football again. Ken
drlcLcn, who played quarter back oil the
Husteii Latin school team last j ear, center
rusher Ctulllvau nnd two ether members of
that team are all lu this year's freshman class
nnd will nil doubtless take a crack ut their
favorite sport.
B-sides thee mere or less well known play
ers there ero several candidates from the
preparatory schools in which Harvard's In In
terschelastic Football league hai beeu lu
working ojwratien for the last year. These
mens rcspectlve abilities are net as yet
known, but it would be queer If ut least ene
or two of them didn't turu out geed men.
Take it all in all, dwplte the gap made by
graduation, Harvard's chances for a streu '
team this j ear am capital. In u recent let
ter one of her football men writes In a very
hopeful strain and says that for the first ttimj

The Princeton feetballfets havent done
any great amount of blowing as yet, but It

of the championship,

Rushers Speer, Cook, Irvine, (Jeorge,
Janeway, Cewaa and Devaird: quarter
beck, a Heds; half backs, Channlnz and
IlUck; fall back, Ames.
Of this team bare' majority have return
ed te college this year, and it Is net certain
that all of them will play. Among the losses are
End Rusher Speer and Snapper Rack Geerge.
Illeck, Janeway, Churning and Ames are
among the returned players, and all of them
will doubtless return te the team. The Col
lege of New Jersey baa deue ytry well In the
way of capturing premising new men, and
out of this stock may patch up team that
will be up te Mr usual standard. Princeton
always does have geed team, and the crack
players who don't go te Yole generally drift
down Jersey ward.
This year the Influx includes Upton, one of
the most premising of the young players;
local "crack," Hewry by name, and one or
two ether New Jersey youths, who are mer
or less expert ft the game. Just bow geed
the new men are probably won't appear until
the striped Jackets meet their rivals in public,
as Princetenlans are proverbially "foxy" in

change his position for that formerly occu

Reports from Philadelphia de net Indicate
any istrttcular activity In a football way at

of last year j which was fashioned In this man

LOVE It, I love lt and wherbaa
dare
T chide me for loving thrA old
arm chair!
r re treasured It long as sabated
prize;
Pre bedewed It with tears; Pva
embalmed it with sighs.
1 1s bound by a thousand bands te
my heart;
Net a tie will break; net a link will start
Would you knew the spell T A mother sat thersl
And a sacred thing Is that etd arm chair.
In childhood's hour I lingered near
The hallowed seat with listening ear;
And gentle words that mother would give.
Te fit me te die and teach me te lire.
,)he told me that shams would never betide
With Truth for my creed, and Ged for my guide;
Bhe taught me te lisp my earliest prayer
As I knelt beslde that old arm chair.
I sat and watched her many a day.
When her eye grew dim and her locks were gray;
And I almost worshiped her when she smiled.
And turned from her Blble te bless her child.
Years relle a en, but the last one sped
My Idel was shattered, my earth star fled!
1 learnt bow much tlie heart can bear.
When 1 saw her die hi her old arm chair.
TIs pastt 'tis past I but I gaze en It new,
With quivering breath and throbbing brew;
Tnas there alia nursed me, 't was there she died,
And memory flews with lava tide.
Bay It is felly, and deem me weak,
Whilst scalding drops start down my cheek;
But I tore It I love it and cannot tear
My soul from a mother's old arm chair.
The recent death nt her home at Wim
bledon, England, of Eliza Cook, touches
n plaintive chord in the memory of many
thousands en both sides of the Atlantic.
Indeed, Eliza Cook's pecma have long
been loved wherever the English Ian Ian
guage ia spoken. There is n certain class
of verse vv hlch, be it approved or net by
the critics, always touches the popular
heart. A dainty bit of sentiment, a
touching experience, a trifle of pathos,
when given in a little poem or a song
consisting of a few stanzas, often warms
the gentler feelings and finds a lasting
place where far mero pretentious pieces
are born and die comparatively un
noticed. If such a poem has been taught
us when we were children by seme ene
especially beloved, it becomes sanctified
te us, and la apt te be revered and ad
mired even beyond its actual merit.
Ne ene has expressed the value of these
gems better than Eliza Cook, who knew
herself se well hew te wiite them:
Old songs I Old songs! My brain has lest
Much that It gained with pain aud cost;
I have forgotten all the rules
Ot Murray's hooks ami Trimmer's schools;
Detested figures hew 1 liate
The mere remembrance of a slate I
Hew bare 1 cast from woman's thought
Much goodly lere tlie girl n as taught;
But net a word has passed away
Of "Itest Thee, Babe," or "llebln Gray."
The mother of grown children, indeed,
the grandmother of today, thirty or forty
years age were familiar with the poems
of Mrs. Hemans, Mrs. Hewitt and Miss
Cook. Perhaps net ene of these women
can be called a writer of the best literary
excellence. Hut we must remember
that, paradoxical as it may seem, semen'

work has been

ly literary performance alone, has been
condemned by many n competent critic,
but it possesses with in its loeso construc
tion and ether deficiencies a power ever
the human heart that ha lasted long
after the institution it attacked passed
away.
Eliza Cook's labor In the literary field
was net long. She was born in 1818, the
daughter of n rich tradesman in tlie
the borough of Southvverk, n suburb of
Londen, w here Eliza was born. Perhaps
soine who nre familiar with her best
known poem, "The Old Arm Chair," de
net knew that the mother se touchingly
referred te iu the verses died w hen Eliza
was 15 years old. Trem that tlme her
home was deselate for her and other
wise unpleasant.
She, however, found selace in litera
ture, for which elie Eoon developed a
marked toste and talent. Before she
was 18 she hui written a number of
popular bongs. "1 ru .muuc,- wiianie
O'Ress" and the "Star of Glengarry"
were written nt the time. Then she be
gan te write for The Londen Dispatch.
The Londen Weekly nnd ether periodi
cals; while at 20 she contributed te
magntucs such na The New Monthly
and The Metropolitan. At this time
also she published her first poetic volume,
under the title of "Melaid and Other
Poems." '
Perhapj the widest known of her po
ems Is the "Old Arm Chair." Fer many
years it was in most of tlie school books
containing such poems, and became a
favoritewitb thousands at that tender
age when it might easily be engrafted
into their very natures. It doubtless
gives an actual experience, nnd no in
vention can ever take tbe place of real
portrayed feelings.
In 1819 Miss Cook founded a periodical
called Eliza Cook's Journal. ,She con
tinued te edit it till 1854, when her health
began te fail her, and ten vears later,
though only 40, was obliged te giveup
work entirely. Hut before rctiring.freiu
the literary world she published two vol
umes of poetry called "N'evv Echoes nnd
Diamond Dust."

RUSSIAN PEASANTS AT, HOME.
As Katertalnlflc tH fresa mm pea f
Oarl Kt. "
Nkw Yerk, Oct 21. "These an the
men who carry the whole Russian en en
plre ea their abeulders," said a noted
Nihilist leader te 'me one flee rammer
evening la the Busman village of Oetaeh Oetaeh Oetaeh
kove, aa we, steed watching a pawhag
group of mujlka (peasant), "and the mo
ment they find that eat and feel the
backs beginning te acne wits its weight,
down semes the whole concern!"
TiiesepTophettejirords came back te
tiy memory with ominous force a year
later, aa I sat in front et my tiny leg hat
in the hamlet of Dogerodskoe (en one of
the tributaries of the Upper Velga) te
watch the red sun sink behind the shad
owy pines, while the peasants, of the
little village, men, women and children,
came filing past me, some het and dusty
from their labor in the fields, ethers
looking pale and tired after sitting at
work all day in their close and unwhole unwhele
scfne huts.
There they go, the sallow, bearded,
low brewed, heavy looking toilers, with
hard wooden faces and shaggy hair, who
"carry all Russia en their backs." Seme
of the younger and mere well te de Men
wear red calico shirts eutside their ether
clothes; butothe majority keep te the
traditional sheepskin frock (swarming
with "indigenous creepers") which serves
Ivan Petrevitch all the year round, the
wool being worn eutside in summer and
inside in winter.
Tlie short skirted women many of
whom, though barefooted, wear showy
earrings have their sunburned faces
turbaned with scarlet handkerchiefs, for
the Russian ia as fend .of bright colors as
the negre, nnd his word for "very beau
tiful" means literally "bright red." Tlie
unmarried women are distinguished
from the rest by the peculiar plaiting of
their back hair, and among them I no ne no
tice ene young girl (with n light wooden
yeke balanced across her left shoulder,
and a pall of water attached te cither end
of it) whose bright f ace and ringing laugh
might well amadb any ene who (like my
self) was aware that she had been tried
only a few months befere for the murder
of her illcgitlmate child, and that, al
though saved by nn ingenious legal
quibble, she was believed guilty by
every ene who knew anything about the
matter.
Many of the faces show considerable
marks of beauty despite their worn ap
pearance, but nil alike, whether men or
women, nre spoiled by the characteristic
defect of all Slavenian races, viz., the
heavy mouth and bread bulldog jaw a
drawback which marred (in my eyes at
least) ene of the handsomest women in
Ri6sia, a maid of honor belonging te the
household of the czar's sister, the present
Duchess of Edinburgh.
The houses of the "mujiks"' are aa
queer as themselves. Many of the tiny
huts ure built wholly with the hatchet,
without a nail or iron fastening of any
kind, the ends of the leg's being jointed
into each ether, like the corners of a
schoolboy's slate. The crevices are filled
with a mortar made of clay, raes3 and
dead leaves, and the reef is either shin
gled or thatched with reeds and dried
grass. The ordinary izba (cottage) has
two rooms and a left, but net a few of
them (as was the case with the hut which
I myself occupied) have only one. The
furniture usually consists of nn enor
mous bed covered with a quilt of colored
patchwork, which leeks like a colossal
map of the United States a huge tiled
stove, witli'ft "lejanka" (bed place) en
the top of it a rough deal table, a steel
or two, a portrait of the householder's pa
tron saint in ene corner, with a tiny lamp
burning in front of it, nnd a pious reach
making a laborious pilgrimage around its
gilt frame; and last, but net least, a big tea
urn of brass or copper, known ea a
"samovar" (self boiler). This last item,
indeed, is the most important of all, the
Russian peasant being be fend of tea that
he even calls a present of money "nat
chai" (something for tea), and lie might
fairly assume n tea um ns his heraldie
crest, with the motto, "Iu tea speravL"
I nm just beginning my supper when
my attention is drawn te n bustle of ex
citement among a groupef peasants,who
are having a kind of impromptu tea
drinking in front of the next hut, the
stir being evidently caused by a tall
young fellow who has just joined the
party, nnd seems te have brought some
very startling plece of news.
"It's ns true as the holy book, bro
thers," cries the new comer. "I heard
with my own ears our staresta (village
bailiff) tell it te Feeder Nikeetin just this
minute." J
"What has happened, then?" nsks the
host, a scarred Crimean veteran.
"These Nihilist dogs are nt their tricks
again. One of them threw n bomb yes
terday at Eather Alexander Alexandro Alexandre
vitch (the czar) in the streets of St. Peters
burg. However, Ged saved him from
harm; but the man wasn't caught."
"Ner ever will he," grew led nnether;
"the pelice are cleverer at arresting the
wrong man than the right ene, and you.
may trust a Nihilist te save his own
sklul"
"Say what you will, though, brothers,
our father, the Gesudnr (emperor), seema
te be afraid of them."
"Afraid?" echo half a dozen voices.
"The emperor nfraid."
"Well, why does he shut himself up In
Qatchlna and never stir out? And why
did he wait two whele years befere
going te 'mother Moscow' te be crowned
lest they should kill him? It's no use
talking, brothers w hen ene la afraid,
ene is!"
"True," growled the old soldier; "but
te think of a Russian ezar fearing any
mortal man! Wliat would Nikolai Pav Pav
levitch (Nicholas, 6011 of Paul) have sail
te that? He feared no danger; he made
danger fear him! He reigned thirty
years, nnd no 0110 dared touch him. We
shall never have such another czar!"
"riut didn't he oppress tlie people,
Unde Mecshn?" (Michael).
"Perhaps, but lie let no ene else oppress
them."
