H. J. The comic opera "Clover" proved exceed ingly popular with Pittsburg audiences. Al though it was rather out of tbe Bijou's line as marked by tho list of plays given at that theater so far this season very large audiences were the rule, and in some cases exceptionally large. The strength of tbe McCaull company is the most important factor in this success although Von Suppe's muslo In "Clover" abounds in pretty numbers. It is not good news to bear that Do Wolf Hopper is to leave the company with which he has associated for so many years, and in which his greatest successes have been achieved. De Wolf Hopper is a great deal better comedian than his work in "Clover" would have one to believe, and doubtless he will rather rise than fall above tbe standard he seems to have chosen for himself during tho last year or two. Some of his performances in "Clover" would be more appropriate in tbe sawdust ring of a circus. That is not his fault, however; if anybody's be side "Clover's" author, it is the public's. The probability seems to be that Colonel McCaull will retire at tbe end of the season. The opera company under new management will retain McCaull's name, for it is a great one to conjure with. Mr. Stevens, whose active management of the company hat contributed So much to its success, is not certain in bis plans for next sea son. At least he is not certain for publication, though 1 should not be surprised if tbe com pany in which DeWolf Hopper will be leading comedian next season, should have a manager named Stevens, Fbitz Eiiiiei brings a host of pleasant memories to tbe Bijou Theater this week. No body can deny tho charm of Emmet's smile, his laugh and his song. They are his. and bis alone; nobody has ever given us anything like them. The old graces of tbe actor will be seen this time in a new play called ''Uncle Joe, or Fritz in a Mad House." There have been vari ous criticisms written about this play, but at least all critics agree that it is better than the recent plays in which ho has, appeared. It is said, too, that he has better actors with him than usual. Among these actors is tbe great St. Bernard dog Plinlimmon, who has stroncer claims to popular favor than his price, $3,000, There are as usual children in the company also and Mr. Emmet has a chance in them for one of bis characteristic baby songs. The new songs may be expected to be the strongest points of the performance. AS things go, not so much in a theatrical as in a social way, the appearance of Salvinl, the Italian tragedian, at the Grand Opera House this week, will be an event of considerable im portance. We are dnly reminded of this fact by tbe reverential manner in which Mr. Wilt announces that "he has arranged with Mr. A M. Palmer for final appearance, etc" It is much more gratifying to learn that Salvini's surroundings will be tho same even including tbe prices of tbe seats as he had in ftew York. That is to say the scenery, properties and the company, we believe, will be adequate. Salvini will play four times only dnring the week. On Monday he will be seen in "Sam son," on Wednesday in "Othello," on Friday in "The Gladiator," and at tbe Saturday matinee in "Othello." Mrs. D. P. Bowers will add greatly to the importance of "Othello," in which she will appear as Emilia. On the other nights and at the matinee on Thanksgiving Day Mr. Alex Salvini will appear in "Partners." V The variety performance which we are promised at Harris' Theater is said to be a good one. It will be given by Nelson's Vaude ville Combination. A great many of the actors are from the London Music Hall stage, and be side the Nelsons themselves, with their acro batic feats, performing cockatoos, dogs and a number of novel acts are promised. V At the reliable Academy of Music the old favorites, "The Night Owls." will supply the week's amusement. There are 20 young women of mote or less beauty in this company, and the usual opportunities of observing their shapeli ness will be afforded. A novelty is promised in the shape of the French Goo-la dancers, who are stated to be daringly athletic. . There will be Thanksgiving Day matinees at all the theaters. At the matinee at Harris' Theater on that day night prices will rule. There will bo no matinees on Wednesday at the Bijou Theater and Grand Opera House. Hepbubx Johns. Since Whispers. Lawbekce Babeett, with his new play, "Ganelon," will be seen here in a few weeks. Wiixiam L. Lykens, manager of Maggie Mitchell, is reported to be very 111 In Philadel phia. The Black Cat is adding good pictures to Its attractions, and there are evidences of pros perity in every part of the paper. The Casino Museum has a sterling array of attractions for 'Thanksgiving week. Some of the novelties are said to be startling. Tins New York Mirror says: DeWolf Hop per possesses an India silk Blumber robe which sars in applique on the pocket, "Bo good, and you will be happy. W. H. Cbaite has struck a second "Henri etta" in "The Senator," It is said. We hope it is true, for Crane's efforts are of the best in tbe dramatic art, Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett have renewed their partnership for next Beason. Mr. Arthur B. Chase will continue as the director of their business affairs. In answer to "Bennett," it may be said that the Bijou Theater has been so called since the winter ot 18S5, when it changed hands. Fritz Emiuett has played at the Bijou since that date. The Dispatch Is indebted to Dunlop's Stage JVetr for a plctnre of Clement Scott, the Lon don dramatic critic If absence of beauty de notes brains, Mr. Scott most be a very brainy man. There isn't much honor or glory in prophe sying, bnt from the way tbe farce-comedy Idea Is being overworked it looks as if this season would show the high water mark for such trifles. Or course the stories anout Mr. Booth treat, ing Madame Modjeska rudely are lies. Agood many critics and news peddlers are always busy lying about our greatest actor, the world's greatest actor. It is- rather funny to hear of Frederick Warde being called "The young tragedian.' Wards was young once, no doubt and In com parisonjwlth some tragedians is still young, bat he is a veteran actor. HALLE ahd Hart, in "Later On,"' follow Emmot at tbe Bijou Theater. As it has made a hit In New York lately there is reason to be lieve that it has been greatly improved since it was last seen here. Fon real grace of movement none of the comic opera beauties who have been here this season can compare with Miss Marlon Manola. She does not depend upon her beauty or her excellent voice either, for she can act with no 11 tile power. Florsxcs Bt. Johs who was to have com THE- PITTSBUIiaDISPTCH, " - over with tho London Gaiety Burlesque Com pany, has been attacked with typhoid fever. Nearly tbe entire company is down by the same fever, and George Stone, who played the part of Valentine, died last week. It now looks doubtful If tho Gaiety Burlesque will be able to come at all. Gossip has it that Miss Lillian Russell is to have an opera company ot her own next sea son, backed by a Wall street syndicate. It will cost Mr. Rudolph Aronson just $600 a week to upset this plan if be wishes to retain airy fairy Lillian, It is said. But after hi experience with that lady be ought to be willing to pay $600 a week to be rid of her. The New York Mirror is going to publish a series of special articles on stage matters by such eminent authorities as Dion Boucicault, Lawrence Hutton, Brandon Matthews, Elwyn, A Barron and William Gillette.

He said, however, that It was not his fault that ho was here. He came over to pay a $2,000 judgment, which a woman bad obtained against him in a suit for damages sustainedin falling down an open coal hole belonging to tho Fifth Avenue Theater when Stetson managed it After discharging his painful errand, tbe gentle and genial Bos tnnese went back to his beanery hating New York more than ever. Bcbr McIxtosh is coming to the front again as a pool player. Last spring, after Sidney Drew had defeated Mr. Mcintosh for the pool championship ot theprofession by a score of 150 points to 147, Mr. Drew played Thomas Earlo White, the champion amateur of Philadelphia, winning one game by one ball, but being de feated by Mr. White by 2S balls in the next match. On last Friday night however, at the Saginaw Club in Philadelphia, Mr. Mcintosh defeated Mr. White by a score of 150 to 117 in what is described as the best championship game yet played in tbe Quaker City. The following is from Dunlop's Blage Newt: "Piracy of the United States mail is a very serious offense which a theatrical company do ing business in Indiana will probably find out Some time since, Mr. George C. Jenks, tbe dra matic editor of the Pittsburg Jiulletin, wrote a tarce-comedy, wnicn no cauea -u. s. AiaiL" a clever skit on tbe absurd possibilities that might occur in a postofSce. It met with success, but as the booking was not satisfactory, it was withdrawn until next season. While on the road, however, some one went to see it copied tnepiay, ana now a very poor version 01 jsir. Jenks' clever comedy is swinging around the dramatic circle." "Bluebeard, Jb., or Fatlma and the Fairy," tbe spectacular extravaganza which ran so many months in Chicago, and wbich suc cess has been duplicated in the East, will begin an engagement at the Grand Opera House Monday evening, December 2. The piece is the successor of the "Crystal Slipper." famil iar to all our theater-goers, but is said to be a much more elaborate production. Many new features will bo seen, chief among which is "Tbe Children's Heroes," "The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, With Her Children," and "The Littlo Lords Faun tleroy," which require the services of 40 little children. The ballets in "Bluebeard, Jr.," are described as most elaborate and pictures que. FEDAGOGUE AND PUPIL. Thursday being Thanksgiving Day, the public schools will be closed.

Superintendent Luckey is in com munication with Prof. E E White, of Cincin nati, to havo him present to deliver a lecture. It will be interesting to tbe teachers to know that the assessment for institute dues Is but 1 per cent on their monthly salary this year. At the teachers' meeting held last Tuesday to ask lor an increase of salary, a committee, consisting of Miss M. Troup, A McKlnley, P.Morris, Ella Martin and M. E, Taggart. was appointed to Bee tbe Committee on Teachers and Salaries on the subject. The impression seems to prevail that only the grammar teach ers and assistant principals will be benefited, bnt this is not the idea of tbe promoters of tbe plan, who believe tnat especially the primary as well as tbe grammar teachers are entitled to an increase The Permanent Certificate Committee or ganized yesterday.

Robert Watt made the presentation speech for the High School. The afternoon was made the oc casion for a farewell reunion in the school hall, at which tbe upper rooms and all the teachers participated. There was excellent singing. The party of Pittsburg educators who visited the Philadelphia schools the earlier part of the week say that the Pittsburg schools compare very favorably with those of Philadelphia. The Quaker City seems to be superior In draw ing, but as Pittsburg has just introduced the same system as has been in use in Philadelphia for some years, tbe Gas City will undoubtedly soon hold i:s own in this branch of educational work.

Each soldier's name Shall shine untarnlsbed on tbe rolls of fame, And stand the example of each distant age, And add new luster to tbe historic page. David Humphrey. The appropriation made by Allegheny Councils for commencing the long-neglected work of Improving Seminary Hill, on which is erected the Soldiers' monument, will be used in making a driveway up the hill, and roadways around the top. The driveway will be up the north side, and will come down into English street The drives will be paved with acphalt block. The work is in charge of City Engineer Ahlers, of Allegheny. A few facts concerning the monument will be of interest to those who do not know all about it In 1868 the funds for the pdr pose of building the monument were raised among the people ot Allegheny county, through the efforts of veterans of the Rebel lion. The monument cost nearly (30,000. Soon arose the question of where to place the structure. It was decided by a vote of the county to place it on Seminary Hill, tbe city of Allegheny promising to improve the hill and keep it in good condition. By the action of Councils these long forgot ten promises will be redeemed, the top of Seminary Hill will become accessible, people ot onr own vicinity who have never seen the mon ument except from a distance will find pleasure In taking the trip up to it, visitors will be able to inspect It at close range as one of the points of interest ot tho city and the hill will become a pleasant resort in summer. By a bill passed by the Assembly some years ago tbe County Commissioners weie directed to see that the monument itself was kept In good condition. It seems that this work has not been done and that tho monument needs attention very much. Some action will soon be taken in this matter. The Fair of Past 157. The fair of Post 157, In progress at tbe Fifth Avenue Muslo Hall, closed the second week last night with a large attendance. Tbe suc cess attending the efforts of the post is veiy gratifying to the comrades. Quite an interest is manifested in a new departure, that of a raffle, which will take place after tho close of the fair, under the supervision ot three promi nent members of the Grand Army. The post offers five chances for prizes to the holder of each ticket, tbe first being a certified check for $100, tbe second a set of furniture, $75; third, a china dinner set -10: fourth, French cooking range, 35, and fifth, a case of orange wine, til A good number of tickets bave already been disposed of at 50 cents each. A grand hop will be given on Thanksgiving eve. Posts will visit the fair in a body on Tuesday evening. Tbe week following Posts 12S and 151 propose being present in a body. Commander-in-Chief Alger Coming. Commander-in-Chief Alger will be here next week, the first in December. At a meeting ot the Executive Committee held on Friday evening a sub-committee was appointed to make tbe arrangements for a reception to the distinguished visitor. Composing this com mittee are comrades James L. Graham, Ed ward Fisher and Max Klein. The exact date is not yet known. He was to bare been here next Saturday night, bnt the visit has been postponed until tbe Commander gets back from the West It may be Thursday or Friday. Adjutant General George H. Hop kins will probably accompany the Commander here. All the posts will be notified ot the date when it is decided. Grand Army men, their wives, daughters and sons will be invited. There will be few speeches beside that of Commander-in-Chief Alger. The affair will be a genome reception. Ladies of tbe G. A. E, Mrs. C. V. Sherriff, Department President of the Ladies of the G. A.R., and her Secretary. Mrs. C. Bruner, of Altoona, have paid their fra ternal visits to the circles of the order in the State, and are pleased to find them in such a flourishing condition. Both in membership and financially they bespeak for the orderabrlgbt future. The order is delighted with its Presi dent and her officials, and have so expressed themselves by the receptions that have been given them all along tbe line. Great credit is due tbe President for tbe noble work she has been doing and the progress the order has made under her administration. Notes for and of Veterans.

The new encampment starts with 49 members. Adjutant Shook, of Post 88, reports that his post is receiving indorsements of its rebel monument resolutions from many points, among others one from a Baltimore post Comrade William McClelland, member of tbe National Council pf Administration, G. A R., went to Boston on Thursday last to at tend a meeting ot the Executive Committee. He expects to return home to-day. THE meeting ot Post 162 on Saturday night, November 18, was a pleasant occasion. Two sil ver spoons were presented to a comrade who re cently had his family Increased by two small parcels ot femininity. Superintendent Morrow made a happy presentation speech. He made a slight error, which amused the "boys" greatly. Post 128 will open its fair on Thanksgiving evening. Tho management has been f ortun ate in securing a hall.

' " Major W". W. Gbeenland, Quartermaster of the Second Brigade, spent a few days In the city during tbe past weeit Meetings of the Hoards of Control In both the local regiments were held last evening. Nothing of importance outside of prodding the Captains of companies a littlo on the Hartranft fund question was transacted at cither meet ing. An election has been ordered In Company E, of tbe Eighteenth Regiment for Tuesday evening, December 3, to fill the vacancy for Second Lieutenant caused by the resignation of William Augloek. No candidates have yet announced themselves for the position. An election in Company F, of the Southside. has been ordered for December 9 to fill the vacancy in the First Lientenantcy caused by the action of tbe Brigade Board on Lieutenant Chris Snyaer. Second Lieutenant Kercher will probably be the successful candidate. Major Saitdel Hazlett, of Washington, Pa., with Colonel Strecter and Adjutant Hayes, of the Tenth Regiment, were initiated into the mysteries of thirty-second degree Masonry last week at the temple in this city. They all looked extremely cheerful after their wrestle with tbe goat The entertainments to bo given by the Wash ington Infantry, at old City Hall, on the even ings of Novembers, 29 and 27, promise! to be successful. Among tbe many features, will be the ZOO views of the late war with descriptions by T. DeQuIncy Tully and an entertaining concert ' Dubinq the coming week tbe Washington Infantry will hold a series of entertainments at Old City Hall for the purpose of raising funds to fit up the quarters In better condition. Their efforts should bs successful, as Captain Shan non and the members ot the company have been working bard. EX-QCARTERSfASTEB ROBEET 0. PATTEB- SON, of the Fourteenth Regiment, received his discbarge yesterday from the Adjutant General's ofllce. The committee appointed by Colonel Fercnment to audit his accounts re ported them in proper condition, and It is ex pected that the vacancy will bo filled shortly. A Lieutenant of the Thirty-second New York Regiment has been dishonorably dis charged, without allowance for the time he has served In tbe National Guard, and disqualified from any future service for a period of five years, on account of refusing to pay a fine im posed upon him for delinquency lrom his com, pany. Adjutant General-Kelton, of the Reg ular Army, is proving himself a strong friend of tho National Guards throughout the coun try. He Is urging that the recommendation of Captain D. M. Taylor for the Increase of appro priation to $1,000,000 be sanctioned by the Sec retary of War, and the probabilities are that the force brought to bear upon Congress at the next session will be sufficiently strong to carry we oiu lurougn. Commissions arrived in the city yesterday for Captain William N. Harvey and First Lieutenant George Dougherty, both of Com pany D, Eighteenth Regiment From tbe fact that three candidates from this company pre sented themselves before the last meeting ot tbe Brigade Examining Board for commissions, it would appearas if Second Lieutenant Alonzo Neville was another victim of the board's band ling. That the Brigade Board does not meet for pleasure alone is becoming more apparent every day. Captain o. C. Coon, ot Company 2, Mc Keesport, in his report of rifle practice of tbe company for the past season,shows that the en tire strength of tbe command, 60 men and 3 officers, qualified as marksmen, with 12 of that number having earned the silver bars as sharp-' shooters. This is certainly a most brilliant record for Company I, and it is doubtful if a muoh better showing can be furnished in the State. Captain Coon thinks that ho has a team of riflemen in his company that can beat any company team in the division. Five hundred new 45-caliber rifles were re ceived at tbe headquarters of the Second Bri gade last week for distribution throughout the differeut organizations. None of the regi ments in this brigade nave yet been furnished entirely with the new rifles, nor will this last lot be enough for that purpose Major Green land, the Brig?de Quartermaster, thinks of di viding the oOJ between the Tenth and Fifteenth Regiments, thus filling their quota. It will probably be several years before enough can be drawn from the Government to equip the entire Guard of this State. Colonel Smith, of the Eighteenth Regi ment, issued an order daring the week resum ing drills throughout the organization and or dering monthly returns from the companies of the result of such drills. This is a move In the right direction, as in some of the commands mere wouia do scarcely enougn men present on regular meeting nights to fill oat a squad for a corporal to handle. At this season of the year there is no reason why each company should not be able to report at least CO per cent of it members present on every drill night The deeds of ail of the armories in the State are made in such a manner that the State mili tary authorities have no jurisdiction over the buildings. A scheme is now being talked of in the East by which the State shall purchase such buildings from the organizations now in possession of them, and in addition appropri ate enough money to erect buildings for the commands which at present are not so supplied. The total amount for -this purpose wo aid be about $1,200,000, but the chances for tbe Legis lature carrying out this plan, at least in the next few years, are not as brilliant as they might be. The disposition so Jar has been to let tbe organizations hustle tor themselves and provide a shelter as best they could. The result of rifle practice in tbe Eighteenth Regiment for the season just closed is as, fol lows: Field and staff, 2 sharpshooters and 5 marksmen; Company A, 2 sharpshooters and IS marksmen: Company, B, 1? marksmen; Com pany C, 13 marksmen; Company D, 21 marks men; Company E, 10 marksmen; Company F, 1 sharpshooter and 27 marksmen ; Company G, 1 sharpshooter and 80 marksmen; Company H, 1 sharpshooter and 23 marksmen; Company 1, 12 sharpshooters and 61 marksmen; total, 233. Last year the regiment had a total of 89 qualified men. showing an improvement for this year ot 190, Tbe regiment next season expects to locate on a new range, as tbe one at High Bridge oc cupied during the past season has been sold for building purposes.
