The above are the theatrical attractions for this week. '. The week at the theaters has been un eventful. There was a good deal on the bills that was "stale, flat and unprofitable." The outlook is better for the coming week. There has been a good bit of gossip about Lillian Russell in the Pittsburg papers dur ing the week. Those interested in the sub ject will probably find the following, from the Black Cat, worthy of attention: I hear the gruesome rumor that our great, our only, our rosy, our large Lillian Russel), Is to tumble heels over bead for the third time into the sea of matrimony. While Harry Bra ham sits on the grave-stone ahove his dead memories, and fiddles a burial hymn, and while the talented Solomon composes sad measures to commemorate the vanished joys of years that have fled, a young and wealthy man named Banford, who has long adored, with the rest of ue, the unusual attractions of the radiant song stress, steps in and places the glittering circlet of divine promise upon her dictatorial finger. Well, on the principle that the third time never fails, we are entitled to hope that Lillian is now about to advance into that haven of su preme peace and happiness that decorates the world with smiles, and gilds life with the splendor of virtuous domesticity. Such a re sult ought surely to be accomplished on the third grab. .. According to the Mirror William H. Crane's benevolence has caused him no end of trouble. He wrote some time ago a svndicato article In which he expressed the opinion that American dramatists bad not been properly encouraged. He also intimated that he wonld do his utmost to foster the native product in future. Ac cording to an article in a cotemporary.as soon as the comedian's views became public prop erty through the medium of the press, the trouble began. Manuscripts arrived from all points of the compass they came by mail, by express, by district messenger boy, by the ball boys of the hotel: they included tragedies, melodramas, emotional plays, comic operas, pantomimes, burlesques, vaudevilles, historical and romantic dramas, plays of high lite, low life, and of no life at all. This persecution of Mr. Crane on account of bis optimistic views, is said to have been kept up throughout the entire season. When he at last wa3 able to retire to his Bummer home at Cohasset he fully expected a cessation of hos tilities. His sorrow, however, failed ' to sur cease, and the plays began to arrive, accom panied by their respective authors. "Thehar rassed actor." gave our authority, "fled to Bos ton for relief, and lo! the streets seemed peo pled with dramatists. And so it is still going" on plays of every conceivable degree of bad ness pouring In on Crane, and though he con scientiously wades through at least an act of each of them, he has not yet been rewarded by one glimmer of the latent talent which, in his opinion, it Is the actor's or manager's duty to develop or encourage." . If this be trne, we should consider that Bishop Hatto had a safe repeat in his mice tower at Bingen, compared to the universal knowledge of Mr. Crane's whereabouts. The bishop was gnawed to death by the mice, to be sure, bnt who can predict the lingering agony that is still in store for the well-meaning comedian, if this enidemic of manuscripts con tinue to make his life burdensome. Desist ye dramatists, desist! Mr. Crane is far too good an actor to be worried to death in this heartless and unnecessary manner. The Programme. "KAJAHKA," the new spectacle which was presented for two weeks at the Columbia Theater, Chicago, and at other first-class thea ters to crowded houses, will be seen for the first time here at the Grand Opera House to morrow night and continue throughout the week. The piece is in three acts and five scenes, all of which are transformation scenes of an elaborate character, the first act opening with Beelzebub's cave and the descent of the Imp, followed by the appearance of the Fairy Queen from a golden star. The second scene is in the idol room of the temple. In act second is introduced the triumphal march otKajanka and the Nautch dances. This is quickly trans formed to a terrace, with prismatic fountains. Here the London Gaiety dancers, four in num ber, appear in a characteristic dance called the "The Papillon," and also in a medley of the latest English popular songs. Then follows a grand march by a corps of young and pretty girls, after which Miss Edith Craske, 16 years of age. Is seen in a novel transformation dance something on the order of Miss Ida Heath. The follows the famous Dsnazettis, the leading acrobats of Paris, in their marvelous acrobatic act It is said that this gymnastic performance is the greatest ever witnessed In this country. It has never failed to receive from six to eight encores nightly. The last act of the piece is chiefly pantomimic .with many novel magical tricks. The piece closes with a realistic eartnquake which changes into a magnificent tableau entitled the "Rise of the Morning Sun," One hundred people are employed in the representation, among whom are the Allen sisters, George D, Melville and Tillian Ruge. The ballet in "Kajanka'Ms composed exclusively of hand some young ladies, not one being over 21 years of age. This will certainly be a novelty In this line. "The ,clown, George D. Melville," says a New York paper, "has no equal in this or any other country, and in his juggling act which is done by the aid of kitchen utensils, al ways arouses the audience to tbe greatest en thusiasm. Another feature is the pretty women of the company. It is not every day that one will see such beauties as Anna andRicca Al len, Rose and Alice Batchelder, Edith Macklin and Nellie Sennett in one company. The cos tumes are rich and elegant and the Miller Brothers have spared no expense to make this one of tbe greatest spectacular prodnctions of the present day." The scenery is described as a mirvel of splendor, and the transformations simply wonderful. "Clover," the newest opera of Von Snppe, the eminent composer of "Boccacelo," "Bell man," "Fatinltza" and other successful operas comique, will be given a fresh production in this city, at the Bijou Theater, on Monday evening. "Clover" enjoyed a successful run of six months in New York, and will be pre sented here by the entire original cast and with all the scenic and other effects used dur ing the stay lu the metropolis. All of Colonel McCaull's best people are in tbe company, and the production promises to be something unique in the history of comic opera here. Society will undoubtedly turn out In great numbers to welcome tbe favorites of the Mc Caull organization, and their season here, al though brief, promises to be a most prosperous one. "Clover" is from Von Suppe's "Die Jagd nach dem Gluck," and was adapted par ticularly for the well-known members of the McCaull Operatic organization. The plot has a touch of genuine romance, and the music Is said to contain some" of the finest numbers that ever emanated from the prolific fancy ot its composer. The cast includes Charles W. Dungan, Marion Mauola, Eugene Oudln, DoWolf Hopper, Annie Myers! Lindsey Morrison, Jefferson de Angelis and other well known people. The scenes are laid in Bavaria, Paris, Sweden and Venice. Country folk, bal let girls, cavaliers, soldiers, fisher girls, mas queraders and gondoliers are all represented, making, with the bright music and the fine sce nery, a very picturesque and pleasing general effect Domtnice: Mtjbbay's great play, "A Legal Wrong," will be seen at Harris Theater this week. The play is a sensational one, sure, but of the class that pleases a large proportion of the regular theater-goers ot a large city. It Is full of exciting scenes, where the audience can yell themselves hoarse, and then again it has a great deal nf fun in it .which can be appre ciated by all. Its success, however, is in its spectacular sensationalism. Its great scene is a cyclone at sea, This Is very well worked up, and makes a great hit The story of the' play is of an original class. The company as a whole is a strong one. Mr. Morris, as Clarence Gray, a young Southern gentleman, brave, honest and true, has the leading role. LILT CLAY'S Colossal Gaiety Company will be theattractlon at Harry Williams Academy this week. It is needless to say that the com pany is a great favorite here, and that crowded houses will be the rule. Much new talent has been engaged since the last appearance of these gay burlesque artists in this city, and a better performance than any heretofore given is promised. Egyptian beauties in national pastimes, historical and mythological group ings, the spectacular soiree musicale "Beauty in Dreamland," and the dashing burlesque en titled "The Devil's Frolic" are a few of the many striking features of the programme. Heebekt Wabd, the companion of the creat explorer, Stanley, will lecture at Old City Hall on Friday evening under the aus pices of the Press Club. His subject will be the "Cannibals of the Congo." Mr. Ward is said to be an eloquent speaker, and as he has himself seen what he describes he is able to set forth most graphically the strange customs of me Darnanans 01 tno jjarn yuuuuoui, ui coarse the lecture does not deal with canni bals altogether; there is enough in it that is humorous, pathetic and peculiar to make the whole most entertaining. Ok Saturday, November 80, Jules Levy, the renowned cornetist: Madam Rosa Linde (Mrs. Schaarscbmldt), Madam Stella Levy, Mr. Edwin J. Shouert and Mr. William J. Lavin will give a concert at Old City Hall. A mu sical programme of rare excellence is guaran teed by the names of the artists. The living mystery "Congo," a nondescript being; Walter Stuart, the living half man; Madame Rionel, the mistress of fire and other great attractions have been added to.the list of wonders in the World's Musenm, this week. The Dan Nash Comedy Company has also been secured. ENGLISH STAGE GOSSIP. ANnmberof Americans Who Are Haklng- Money In London. rar cable to the dispatch. t London, November 18. Copyright There is a Thomas Nelson Page boom in London. Whether It was brought about by interest in the personality 'of Page, who spent a summer in England, does not appear, but the boom exists. The last Spectator contains a eulo gistic notice of him in "Old Virginia." An essay on Page's writings will appear in an early number of the New Review. I am informed at Brentano'stbat the supply of Page's books in London has been unequal to tbe demand. This week the young Virginian made many friends in England.

Miss Haw thorne's theater, tbe Princess, opens in a week or two with a new play by Brandon Thomas. "The Gold Craze." Agnes Huntington, another American who has made "Paul Jones" the enormous success it has been, has the honor of having three dis tinguished men engaged in constructing a new operetta for her sole use. Bisson is writing the libretto and Planquette the music, and Bur nand, editor of Punch, is putting Bisson's French into English. Planquette came to Lon don this week to let Miss Huntington bear his music, but refused to allow anyone else to hear It The opera has not yet been named, but Bumand says tbe libretto is clever enough to be staged without music Miss Huntington has just signed a new contract with tbe Prince of Wales' theater, at a salary said to be the high est ever paid in the annals of comic opera in London. Sho is one of the greatest successes of tbe English stage, and daily a score of mash letters, which her mother opens, reveals a con dition of the heart in the bosom of the'yoath fnl Briton that is pitiable. Loie Fuller, who has been playing "Caprice," at tbe Globe Theater, is seriously ill. As a result, tbe theater has been closed, though Miss Fuller promises to open it again as .soon as she is able to stand the physical strain. Since her advent here she has worked very hard, being her own manager. She is making an effort to obtain a new play, as "Caprice', has been a failure, though Fuller herself has been highly praised by the London critics. Mrs. Joseph Lewis, formerly Marie Halton, of the Casino, is at tbe Hotel Metropole, while her husband is living at his brother's house. The reason for this is that Joseph has not in formed his brother of his matrimonial alliance, and is awaiting an opportunity to break it to him gently. Mrs. Lewis is very 'indignant at the stories that have appeared in the New York papers since her departure, and talks of instituting libel suits all around. Tbe story that sheis 88 years old, which she does not look, and that her alleged 18-year-old brother is hdr son, she denounces as hideous falsehoods, and she declares she never knew Cunningham, with whom sho is said to have once eloped to Europe.

The communication of Comrade Chill Hazzard in last Sunday's Grand Army col umn has brought forth the following ex pressions of opinion: We are greatly surprised to read, under tbe head of "Men Who Wore the Blue," the re marks in last Sunday's Dispatch of Mr. Chill Hazzard In regard to Confederate monuments at Gettysburg. He writes: "The only Confed erate monument at Gettysburg is simply a marker; it simply shows where that one rebel regiment fought; Its legend is correct and accu rate history." I saw that monument in com pany with a number of friends who saw actual service there, and we wilL by proof if so de sired, show by photograph that that monument is more than "simply a marker." It is a monu ment to treason, bearing the inscription which was offensive and false "C. S. A.," which never was in existence. It did not require to be so immense and elaborate, surmounted by a big cannon ball and the State coat-ol-arms of Maryland chiseled on Its surface, opposite the Union Maryland loyal boys' regiment monu ment of the trne blue. Now, any person wonld surely know that wherever was erected a Union monument that there were some traitors met and opposed In that locality. The Union monuments show the position held against the rebel foe. Mrs. George W. Hughes. The brain that evolved this supports Com rade Hazzard's ideas: 1 read tbe article of Comrade Chill "W". Hazzard In last Sunday's Uispatob. 1 agree with every word tbat Comrade Hazzard writes. I was in Gettysburg on Pennsylvania Day, and saw the monument of the Maryland regiment (Kebel) snnireii of. Althou ffh it la n. verr neat monument tfiere Is nothing offensive about It. It simply states tbat the regiment occupied this position on tbe second day or the battle. I think the line of battle of the Confederate Army shonld be marked in some way, and also tbe advanced position reached by tbem. It Is more to the credit of the Union army, when It is shown bow far or how near tbe rebel army reaebed to the Union lines, and the Union Army repulsed tbem. A GBAHD ABKT MAN. In Blemorlnm.

THE membership of the Grand Army of the Republic has increased from 27,617 In 1877 to 413,228 in 18S9. The growth Is likely to continue for a few years, until death begins to thin out tbe ranks. THERE are now over 500,000 names on the pension roll. The aggregate, amount paia to these is about $90,000,000 fbr tbe year. The total amount paid oat for pensions since 1861 is about Jl.060,000,000. The nomination of officers of Encampment No. 1, U. V. Ix, and delegates to National En campment will take place on Monday evening, .November 23, and tbe election on the following Monday evening.

The marriage of Miss Ada Hill, of the Lnckey school, to Mr. Caldwell, of Brinton sta tion, occurs next Tnesday, Her associate teachers gave, in her honor, a farewell dinner at the school on Tuesday, when a very elegant picture was presented to her as a souvenir. Superintendent Ldcket, Profs. 'Logan. Riddle, Wood and Andrews start this morning to Philadelphia to inspect the schools of that city. They will visit the primary, grammar and high schools, tbe Girls' Normal and the Industrial School. The party will return on Wednesday. Miss Kannt Bird, the assistant principal of tbe Washington school, No. 3, has resigned, and will be married at a near date to a Cali fornia gentleman, who is a. millionaire.

Mbs. Ellen Black; has been promoted to the assistant prlncipalsblp of the Washington sehool, to take the place of Miss Bird.

Logan and Miss Jennie Ralston were constituted a commltteo to report on the subject at tbe next meeting. Miss Ollie Smith, of the McCandless school, was initiated a member. The ward school teachers are quietly at work arranging to tatte tbe proper steps to "ask the Central Board for an increase of salary. Tbe question has been discussed before, but never acted on favorably, xdis year, however, the effort is likely to be successful, as several mem bers of the Central Board have intimated that if the teachers present a proper petition it wonld undoubtedly receive favorable consider ation. The Committee on Teachers and Sal aries will not meet till December, when the ap propriation to be asked for will be considered. A meeting of tho teachers is called for on Tnesday next 'at tbe Grant school, at 4 o'clock, to consider the subject The cooking department of the public sehool on Grant street never presented a prettier ap p'earance than yesterday afternoon when tbe first graduating class of this year, 55 In num ber, showed tnelr parents and friends what they could do in the preparation of appetizing dishes. The table was a marvel of taste in its delicate but simple ornamentation, and the display in general reflected great credit on Miss Ballon, who has charge of the school, and whose charming address has won her hosts of friends since her advent to Pittsburg. A prize, consisting of a knife, fork and spoon, for tbe best loaf of bread, which was awarded to Miss Susie McLaughlin, of the Luckey school, the tiniest miss of the class.

The senior proprietor of this paper has been sublect to frequent colds for some vears. which were sure to lay him up if not doc tored at once. He finds tbat Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is reliable. It opens the secretions, relieves the lungs, and restores the system to a iealtby condition. If Ireely used, as soon as the cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the sys tem, it greatly lessens tbe attack, and olten cares in a single day what would otherwise have been a severe cold.

UTete Eighteenth Regiment Drum" Corps will turn out in fall force on Thanksgiving Day with the Union Veteran Legion of this city. Captaik Schmidt, of the Fourteenth Regi ment has qualified 52 members of his com pany. This equals his record of last season. The season of rifle practice closed yesterday. Both the local regiments and Battery B have good reports to send in of the work accom plished during the year. The drum corp of the Fourteenth Regiment is to receive a thorough overhauling shortly, and, if possible, brought up to a first-class standard. A new Instructor is to be engaged for that purpose. Frederick Nordsiek, of Company G, .Fourteenth Regiment is an active candidate for tbe captaincy of the organization. There are several other candidates in the field, and a hot contest Is expected. Private Ira Kimmkl, of Battery B. has been promoted to the Sergeantcy of the fourth section. Some little dissatisfaction was caused by the promotion, as several other non-coms were expecting the position. Adjtjtat'Gesekal Hastings would do well to embrace in his next annual report a recommendation that newly elected officers be provided with an allowance to aid them m pro curing their uniforms, arms and, equipments. The State of New York treats the subject In the proper light by granting S30 to mounted officers, and to all others $30. The probable successor to Major General Hartranft is still the topic of discussion all over the State. The suggestion made In this column some weeks ago that Governor Beaver proposes to bold the vacancy forbimself seems to be gradually dawning upon tbe minds of a large number of the prominent officials con nected :with the Guard, as about the true state of affairs. The committee appointed by Colonel Parch ment to audit tbe accounts of ex-Quartermaster Patterson, of tbe Fourteenth Regiment, will make their report this week. Who the Quartermaster of the regiment will be la not cnown, nut it will probably be one oi tne pres ent members of tbe organization, with the chances in favor of Sergeant Beam, who has been a member of tbe non-commissioned staff for a number of years. Company I of the Fifth Regiment com manded by Captain Robert McNamara, of Bedford, in addition to having every member of the organization qualified, has 39 sharp shooters. Tbe reserve force of the company has also qualified, making a total of 69 men. The Colonel Walker .trophy was awarded Com pany I for superior marksmanship, in 1889. Their record this season is the best ever made by a militia company in this country. The election In Company F, Southslde. Is postponed at the request of Captain AwL Sev eral other vacancies will probably be heard of in connection with the recent meeting of the Brigade Board. Snch vacancies should be filled promptly, as the State code distinctly states tbat in case a company for any reason neglects to elect a suitable officer within 30 days after the finding of the board the Commander-in-Chief may assign an officer to the vacancy or disband the company. A report has been going the rounds lately that Quartermaster Sergeant Beam, of the Fourteenth Regiment, has been offered a sim ilar position on the staff of the Eighteenth Regiment Colonel Smith, when spoken to on tbe subject stated iu most emphatic terms tbat he usually made the appointments on his stall himself, and when he desired to make any non commissioned appointments he could find plenty of good material in his own organization for that purpose. How such a ridiculous rumor could have started is not known. Captain Peuny, of Company G, Eighteenth Regiment issued an order during the past week placing five of his men under arrest for disobedience of orders in not reporting for drills and parading with the company. It is probable that another attemnt will be made at court-martial, with what success remains to bo seen, as several attempts daring the past year have been completely ignored by tbe proper authorities. Courts-martial are practically dead letters in this State, bat the sooner they are revived the better It will be for the Guard in general. Orders coming from company cotumauuers snouia nave some weignt, DUE un der the present system of management they can be disregarded at wilL Colokel E. H. Ripple, of the Thirteenth Regiment at Scranton, will shortly institute a series of "street riot drills." The battalion of four companies will be subdivided into eight companies, with First Lieutenants in command of tbe extra companies, and will be marchad to a favorable position, where the drill will take place in conformity to the latest manuals on the snbjecc The drill will be a most interest ing feature and a valuable school for officers and men. The knowledge of field movements is a necessary qualification to a well organized regiment, but no more so than street and riot movements are. The outcome ot Colonel Rip ple's experiments.will be watched with interest throughout the Guard. He proposes to repeat the drills monthly.
