' j &:'l. y 2 T . s4 -' ' r f - Tscm "With the beginning of the third week in September ends the reign of the summer girl. The same sovereign may take np the scepter in another capacity, but the summer girl as such is now a back number. Prob ably she has been out in greater lorce this year than ever before; her territo ries have been larger, her subjects more numerous. By seashore, among the mountains, in the rush of crowds at the fashionable resorts, in sylvan soli tudes, upon the bosom of the ocean, under the cloud-becked skies of the north, or the burning sapphire of the south, she has been omnipotent for a season. Memories of her will sail on to the harbor bar of Christmas. Sears will longer mark where she laid her imperial hand on the hearts of men. As for the queen herself, her majesty the summer girl, she will content herself with a remnant of admirers, a fiancee perhaps, and as the red leaves fall, who knows? she may condescend to take a hnsband.

AMONG THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. Piltsbnrser nnd Oil Country People on the St. Lawrence River. tSTXClAX.TXI.EaiI.UC TO TUB DISFATCtM Alkxandea. Bat, September IS. The Thousand Islands have a peculiar attraction for Pennsylvauians, and Pittsburg particularly has been well represented at the hotels this season. The fag end of the season finds many of them still here. A few of the prettiest islands are owned by Pittsburg people. W. J. Lewis of the Linden Iron Works and Hazel wood Oil Company owning two very desirable Islands upon one of nhlch he has a beautiful summer residence. Mr. Lewis and his three daughters have spent this season at the hotels, their residence or. Resort Island having been closed on account of the death a year ago of Mrs. Lewis. They have spent much of their time on board their steam yacht Edith, cruising among the Islands. Mr. Lloyd, a partner of Mr. Lewis in the iron business, and bis wife, spent a few days here on their way to the White Mountains. AH. Greenawalt, of Pittsburg, owns Cuillon and Rob Roy Islands, and A A. Greenawalt, also of Pittsbnrg, owns Cloud Rest, H. A. Laugh lin, ot Piitsburg, owns Craig Side. Other Pennsylvauians who own attractive places heie are Miss L. B. H. Morrison, of Erie, who owns Lily's Island; W. A. and E. P. Wilbur, of Bethlehem, and W. Stevenson, of Sayre. Pa. Among the specially handsome residences near Alexandra Bay are those of Pullman, the palace car man; H. H. Warner, the patent medicine millionaire, of Rochester, N.

World's Museum Curiosities, Etc The above are tho theatrical attractions for this week. V If you wish to laugh heartily, to feast your eyes upon delicious colors and forms, and your ears upon sweet sounds go to see Marie "Wainwright in "Twelfth Night." The advice is positive and distinctly hon est, and no one who takes it will repent it. There are unfortunately many theater goers, who, having been brought np on the unwholesome food that has of late years been so 'generally offered, believe that Shakespearean comedy is dry, harsh and uninteresting. A visit to any of the com ing performances of "Twelfth Night" will quickly dispel the utterly false impression. In the able hands of Miss 'Wainwright and her associates,4 the great master's comic cre ations prove to be as vital, forceful and amus ing as if they were reproductions of types of to-day. There could be no stronger evidence than this performance that Shakespeare's characters were "not fer an age but for all time." An American librettist of some ability is re ported to have been discovered in the author of the book for Francis Wilson's successful opera, "The Merry Monarch." Mr. Cheever Goodwin is the librettist. He made some fame, 15 years ago, with "Evange line." Here, however, the glitter of scenery and costumes somewhat bid the delicacy of his ballads and the humor of his dialogue. He dropped into a quiet berth in the Controller's office in New York, and in those strangely un congenial surroundings be spun the dialogue for "The Merry Monarch." In Mr. Woolson Morse he has found an American musician of exceptional talent, whose "Cinderella at School" still remains one of the most notable achievements of Mr. Daly's comedians. There are two songs of Mr. Goodwin's com position which seem likely to be ringing in our ears before the end of tho season. "Love Will Find the Way," Is already Wemg sung all over New York. I'm told. There must be some thing in the music to account for this, for the words are sorry trash. The other effort is a comic song: "The Simple Little Ostrich." There is some very good fun In it. The song tells of how a conceited ostrich fell, through over-confidence in its own wisdom, into the hunter's bands. It is encored tremendously, I'm told, at tho Broadway Theater. A verse of it is worth quoting: In an African desert once there dwelt An ostrleh wondrous wfKf Who carried his head so proudly high It almost touched the skies. He had lived so lonjr and had seen so mnc-h. He was vain as vain could be; And this wonderful bird o Was often heard To remark complacently: "If you 6eek for Information, Or desire an explanation. I'm a brimming font of wisdom that responds to every call. , For assorted gilt-edged knowledge 1 can discount any college; I'm a simple little ostrich, but I know it all. . It cannot be ssid that "Under the Gaslight" as produced by Mr. Arthur Behan is the sort of thing the patrons of a first-class theater have a right to expect. The play was given in a style not qmte as ambitious, but certainly as artistic, at Harris' Theater two years ago. It has hith erto been a plcasu -e to note the advent of an enterprise under the management of Mr. Arthur Rehan, but if the great Augustin Daly's second-hand aud altogether disagreea. ble melodramas, played and staged in a slip shod fashion, are what he proposes to inflict upon Pittsburg we shall have to regard him and all his works with suspicion. . Although he does not prove anything in par ticular, Mr. William Archer is very entertain ing fn an article in this week's Dramatic Mir ror entitled '"The Old Criticism and4 the New." A definition of the conditions and causes of the battle now raging between one party led by the novelist Howells, and another led by no one, but numbering nearly all the newspaper critics of any prominence in the United States, is given by Mr. Archer. He says: "Let me try to put the debate in a nut-shell. There can surely be no doubt that character is a more important factor than Incident, not only in drama, but in all literature. It has hitherto been main tained by dramatic theorists (in this century, at any rate) that a complex framework of artfully-arranged incident, technically known as Intrigue, is necessary In order that character may bo successfully presented on the stace: for otherwise the attention of a theatrical au dience cannot be attracted and maintained. The new school, on the other hand among whom I am proud to rank myself with Mr. Howells argues that by dint of earnest and subtle art we may almost indefinitely dimin ish the mechanical element of the intrlgne without sacrificing one jot of the attractive ness, and, in short, of the truly dramatic qual ity of the drama." V It is strange that actors, who are generally pretty careful to protect themselves, should so' often sign contracts which contain the two weeks' notice clause. Miss Mama Craigen is the latest to discover the insecurity of such contracts. She engaged at a salary of 81(10 a week as leading lady in Margaret Mather's com pany. When Arthur B. Chase, later on, ac a aired the management ot Miss Mather, he looked on Miss Craigen's contract with disfa vor. He saw that her salary amounted to $23 a week more than she received last season with the Booth-Barrett company. Thereupon Mr. Chase sent word from Uermany to Mr. Wil-loughby-hathe would not keep Miss Craigen through the season at tbefignrecontracted for. He wished to run things on an economical basis. So things went on until Margaret Mather opened on September 6 at Montreal. Then Mr. Chase discharged Miss Craigen under the two weeks' notice clause. This leaves a clever young woman out of a place at the beeinning of the season. This case Is instanced hero to Illustrate the thormness of the actor's path. . But the theatrical contract is not abused by the managers alone. A great many actors, and still more actresses decline to recognize any binding force in a contract unless it suits them to live up to it Contract-breaking is a favorite amusement with some actors. There is one very pretty comic opera singer with a big sal ary who boasts that she has broken 20 contracts in five years. In fact, the manager of a light opera troupe esteems himself lucky if he get) through a season without having to sue bis leading lady and a comedian or two for breach of contract. The usual reason for the frac ture of agreemeuts Is that some other manager offers the actor more money. Managers do not deserve as much sympathy as they might, be cause they frequently steal each others' em ployes in this way. There is a delightful naivete about the rea sons given by,W. J. Ferguson, in a letter to E. D. Price, for breaking his contract with Mrs. Carter. "You didn't give me time to think it over," he wrote, "or to know whatl was doing. I was traveling and knew nothing of the noto riety of your star. If I had I wonld not have risked my reputation by making a contract as I did." A very venerable actor has passed away during the past week in the person of Old Ben Baker. He died from a stroke of paralysis, rather suddenly, almost at bis post of duty as Assistant Secretary to the Actors' Fund in New York. Mr. Baker was ono of the remaining relics of the great past in the history of the American stage. He was one of the landmarks of the profession In New Sfork, and every tne who knew him loved him. The Mirror cives the following facts about his career: Benjamin Archibald Baker was born in New YorkClty on April L 1818. It is said that when a boy be ran away from home and shipped to New Orleans before the mast There he earned his living aS a harness maker, and afterward by repairing cavalrv trappings for the men under General Houston's command in Texas. He must soon have tired of this occupation, for he joined a stock company and made his professional debut In "Bob Roy," at Natchez. Mls. on February 14, 1837. For two years thereafter be filled he dual functions of player and prompter at theaters in Memphis, Vicksburg, Natchez and New Orleans. At tho openingof Mitchell's Olvinplo Theater in Now York on December 9, 183'J, Mr. Baker was engaged to officiate as prompter and act the parts of "walking gentlemen." The en gagement was renewed annually for ten years, and during that period he "Wrote a number of pieces that received succesfal prodnctions. Among these was a local sketch called "New York In 1848," which was brought out on Febru ary 15. 1818, introducing for the first timo the since renowned character of Mote. Frank Chan, frau's personation of the New York "b'hoy" was received with the utmost applause. The author then elaborated this character, adding another act and several new parts, the complete piece being thus represented during a run of 70 nights under the title of "A Glance at New York." He afterward wrote "Mose in China" and "Mose in California." In 1830 Mr. Baker became joint partner with W. B. English in tho management of the Howard Athenaeum, of Boston. The following year he managed the National Theater at Washington, which led to his engaeement by Mrs. Sinclair to take charge of the Metropoli tan Theater at San Francisco. After taking Laura Keene's company on a profitable tonr through tho mining towns ot .California, Mr. Baker came East witb Edwin Booth, and. in the fall of 1856 tooic Mr. Booth on his first starring tonr, in the course of which the now famous tragedian appeared under his man agement in all the principal cities of the country. It Is interesting Jo know that Mr. Baker was stage manager of the old Chatham Theater when Edwin Booth, then a very youthful actor, unexpectedly appeared as Miehard III. ono night in place of his father, who was Indisposed. The friendship between Mr. Booth and Uncle Ben remained unbroken, and they always referred to each other as "Ted" and "Ben." Toward the end of the fifties Mr. Baker again managed Laura Keene, and was filling that position when '"The Seven Sisters" was produced at her Broadway Theater on Novem ber 26. I860. The play ran for 169 nights, which was then considered an unsually long run. In 1877 Mr. Baker was engaged by John T. Ford to rehearse the various stock companies that were to perform in the theaters tho Baltimore manager controlled in the South. The career of Sol grnUh BusseU,1s interesting to all lovers of the higher forms of comedy. The play written for him by the prolific Dion Boncicault, entitled "A Tale of a Coat," does not appear to bare made an astounding suc cess. This fact is emphasized by Mr. Russell's revival of Kidder's "A Poor Relation" at Daly's Theater, in New York to-morrow night. Pittsbnrg audiences will bo very well satisfied to see Mr. Russell in the latter play. Hepburn Johns. The Programme, The popular melodrama, "Siberia," by Bart ley Campbell, commences a week's engagement at the Bijou Theater Monday evening. When the author wrote "Siberia" he did not attempt to form public taste, a rather Quixotic under taking, but followed it and told the story m his nsual nervous, visorous manner, the inter est never flagging from beginning to end. As a dramatist, Bartley Campbell saw the nps and downs of life. He wrote many plays beforo he gained public recognition. Itwasga bard struggle and a long one, but snecess was finally his. When be wrote "Siberia" he struck a new lead. He saw the craze for plays of the scenic order, and he constructed 'Siberia," which proved, froma managerial standpoint at least, the best of his many prodnctions. In the play he showed his respect for illusions, which, even if when looked at in tho cold light of in tellectuality seem cheap and evanescent, have given so much of real happiness to the sorow ing and weary. He was in sympathy with everything pure and lovely and of good report, and showed us, above all, love in its larger and nobler sense. A phantasmagoria it may be, but yet something which has made life brighter, which has elevated our prosaic modern nature and brought harmony out of that dissonance which seems so often to jar on the ear of humanity. To have done this is of itself something; its effects may not be lasting, but they are at least soothing. They reconcile us to-much that seems forbidding in life; they place us all for the tune being on a common level, and when we find men and wo men whose paths lie asunder, and whose pur suits are widely separated, giving themselves up to the enchantment of the hour, andallow- ing the fount of feeling to flow freely, many a question in philosophy is answered, and the ministration of the aramatist is clearly proven. "Siberia" is brim full of action, the charac ters well drawn and 'the story Itself is full of human interest, and the comedy and pathos are so closely Interwoven as to bring smiles and tears almost at the same time. The incidents are exciting and absorbing enough togivcam ple opportunity for tine picturesque and me chanical effects, and they are taken advantago of. Every act has an entirely new setting. The play will be excellently acted Adelaide Fitz Allen, Carrie Radcliffe, Maurice Drew, J. Hay Cossar, Frank Drew, Lizzie May Ulmer and C B. Waitehavine been engaged by Manager H. C. Kennedy for the principal parts. The reappearance of Miss Marie Wain wright, which will be made to-morrow evening in "Twelfth Night" on the stage of the Grand Opera House, will be the beginning of one ot the most noteworthy and enjoyable weeks of the dramatic season. In these days of larid melodrama and extravagant farce, it is unfor tunately only at rare Intervals that playgoers are afforded an opportunity of witnessing an adequate performance of any of onr great classics, and the actor or manager who makes such a presentation is entitled to the gratitude and substantial recognition ol all who have the best Interests of the stage at heart It may be remembered that when Miss Wainwright ap peared here last year the acting of herself aud company, and the beauty and artistic fitness of tbe settings and costuming of "Twelfth Night" were warmly recommended in these columns. She will again have the valuable assistance of Barton Hall as Malvolto and William F. Owen as Sir Toby, two performances which could scarcely be bettered. Other clever members of the company are Percy Brooke, Edward Eis ner, Blanche Nalia and Louise Muldener. The exquisite scenery has been repainted and new costumes have been provided. The only matinee will be on Saturday. The cozy Utile Clipper Theater on New Grant street, near Seventh avenue, will bo reopened on Monday afternoon by the Cyrene Comedy and Specialty Company. It is said to be a strong organization, tho chief attraction being Cyrene, a dancer, whose grace, abandon and peculiar ability in Spanish dauces has created quite a furor in tbe South. Sbe is also a slack wire performer, aud her various feats are de clared to be wonderful by several Memphis papers of recent date. Sam T. Jack's Creole Burlesque and Vaude Tille Company will be seen at the Academy of Mnsic this week. Tho company travels upon the beauty of tbe SO youLg women belonging to It. Tbe company also includes very clever specialty performers, among them Mr. ana Mrs. Sam Lucas, Jackson and Junes, Florence Hiues, Hawkins and Weston, tho Twilight Quartet aud others. The favorite comedy drama, "One ot tbe Finest" will be seen at Harris' Theater this weok. Other Amuempnt. The Venetian Lady Troubadoures proved such a great card at Harry Davis' Fifth Ave nue Museum last week that they have been re tained by tbe management for one week more. Tbe young ladles are skilled musicians and play the most difficult music on thj mandolin and guitar. They appear every afternoon and evening In different costumes. A remark able circumstance is the fact that six of tbe girls ire sisters. The manager played another trump card in securing Dell t Beck, the West moreland county fat girl, for exhibition where others bad failed. He Induced her parents to let ber come to bis museum fortwo weeks only. She is 15 years old and weighs 430 pounds, and is increasing in weight all the time. She is in excellent health, and is able to do any part of household work. There are to be a number of other new features In the curio ball, together with novelties in the roof garden. In tbe theater Ellis and Smith's com bination are to be present a variety of speci alty features. They number 12 artists, and the performance has been selected because it Js adapted for the amusement of Manager Davis' patrons. They are refined in tone and pleasur able without being coarse. This bouse is steadily gaining in its class of patronage. Manager Davis is conducting bis bouse in a manner to win the approval ot the best ele ment In the community. He has people In his employ who do nothiug but patrol the building and look after the welfare of patrons. The first two weeks have been phenomenally successful, and the prospects for tbe future are even brichter. This is tbe best indication that a bouse conducted on good clean principles is sure to be appreciated. These will be a startling sensation on the bills at the World's Museum Theater this week, namely: Be Bora and De Bar, tbe human ser pents. Lewis Hanson, tbe cowboy Samson, Is going to ontdo all bis previous performances. He proposes to allow Miss Millie Mazle, the fair hercules, to ride a horse across a plank laid on bis chest Several other curiosities will be on exhibition also. In the theater toe World's Own Specialty Company will render a variety programme of great proportions. A special teaturo nf tbe theatrical performance will he the singing of llttlo Ada Uirard, who is a young but perfect mistress, it is said, of sentimental vocalism. The audiences have been very large during the week. In spite of the bad weather. &tngo Whispers. The long delayed opera chairs for Harry Davis Fifth Avenue Mnsenm have at last ar rived from tbe manufacturers, and will be put In place this week. It is again asserted that Fanny Davenport' will again tempt fortune in London next year. Also, 'tis said, that Charles JJoghlan has ar ranged to be the Antony to Mrs. Langtry's Cleopatra In a London theater. "Mme. Ajtgot" will be taken off at the Casino, New Xork, October 11, to make room for "Poor Jonathan" and Lillian Russell; and then Miss Halton and Mile. D'Arvilla will go out In tbe Casino road company. "A Texas Steee" bad a most auspicious opening in 'Chicago on Snnday evening at the Grand Opera HouSe. Charles H. Hoyt was obliged to respond twice to calls for a speech, aad Tim Murphy and Flora Wakh scored dis tinctive hits. "TheU. S. Mail" is pursuing Its triumphant career toward the Pacific coast In every house It has played so far it has succeeded in breaking the record for large bnslness. One of the great est hits In the piece is the amusing burlesque of John Wanamaker, dealer in drygoods, notions and postage stamps. Nat Goodwin arrived in New York on Wednesday. Ho will begin his season Oc tober G, and on October 20 produce Mr. Leander Richardson's comedy, "The Nom inee," at Hooiey's Chicago Theater. Mr. uooawin aiso orings witn mm a new piay called "The Viper on the .Hearth," which will be seen with "A Gold Mine." ' Rose Coohlan began her season last Wednesday in Milwaukee, whero she dedicated tbe now Academy of Music. Her repertory for this tonr Includes "Peg Woffllngton," "Forget-Me-Nof' and a new modern play by Lodovicn and Renaud called "Gabrielle," the scenes of which are laid in England. Tbe awful Jocelyn has been burled, thank heaven! Mb. Louis Axsrich Is a pretty good come dian In many ways, and tbe part of Colonel Hawkins, In "The Editor," Is said to suit him admirably. He invests the editor of tbe Ari zona Eagle with much bnmor, and gives to the character an individualitv as marked in Its way as that of Mulberry Sellers or Bardwell Slote. it is the next attraction at the Grand Opera House. Denmait Thompson's last play, "The Two Sisters," which pained Pittsburg last year, has been on tbe road two seasons, and has not thus far increased the bank account of Uncle Joshua to any great extent Its present season's tonr will be confined to the smaller towns. Of course Denman Thompson never goes with it He devotes three-fourths of each year to ap pearing in the "Old Homestead" at tbe Acad emy, and retires to bis farm in Swansea during the three warmer months. Asthub Dacbe, the London leading man who sails on tbe Majestic, October IS, to sup port Mrs. Leslie Carter, is one of tbe handsom est men on the English stage, but It Is an actor and not as a stage beauty that he hopes to suc ceed in America. He belongs to a very swell family, and is nearly related to a late Attorney General of England. Ten years ago he gradu ated from Guy's Hospital, and began practice as a surgeon, but abandoned this for the stace. Ho owns a lares anartment house In London. which he built at a cost ot $60,000. Mrs. Dacre (Amy Roselle) comes with him in the expecta tion of becoming an independent star. Lilian Gbubb, the wife of David Hayman, manager of the Shenandoah company, died in Baltimore last Sunday at the age of 25. Tbe deceased actress was well known among pro fessionals. Sho played Giannetta In "The Gondoliers" last season, and scored consider able Buccess in tbe part She was a sweet and pretty woman and a clever actress and singer. Her stage career commenced eight years ago. when she appeared in "Olivette" at Ford's Opera House. Afterward sbe toured for some time under Mr. Ford's management She also traveled extensively with E. E. Rice's com pany, leaving it to make her debut at the New York Casino, where she became a favorite. Mobe American success in London. The latest is Jennie McNulty, who It will be re membered was a member of Dixey's pilgrim party to London. Miss McNulty elected to stop In Babylon, and ultimately gotto tbe front ranks of "first boys" in pantomlne and bur lesque. Indeed, after three years in England, sbe received tlOO a week, a very large salary for effete England. When Nat Goodwin was forced to put on James W. Flgott's comedy, "The Bookmaker," ho offered her the part of an adventuress, and so decided was her success that sbe has forever foresworn bur lesque tinsel and all such trappings, and will be a member of a London stock company next season. Preparations are fast being completed for the stupendous production at Mblo's, New York City, about tbe middle of October, of "Nero," the new spectacular drama to bes brought out by Messrs. Locke 4 Davis. Tbe dramatic material for the new work is taken from Eckstein's recent valuable resume of early Roman history. A reallstio feature of tbe production which will set New York agog will be the introduction in the arena scene of eight cageless lions, handled by Prof. Darllncr, an Intrepid lion tamer of Paris. For the pro tection of the audience dnriegthe arena scene, a Skeleton curtain, consisting ot a network of solid steel, will bo lowered between the stage and auditorium. Tbe services of 500 people will ba enlisted in tbe production, which, It is claimed, will entail an outlay of J3o,0OU. W. J. Florence arrived on the Etruria last week, and on Monday be wa3 walking np Broadway, looking as stout and jolly as ever. "My home-coming was something of a sad one," said Mr. Florence, "for almost the mo ment I arrived I heard of tbe deaths of Com modore McMlckan and Uncle Ben Baker. Poor Ben, I've known him for SO years. I can remember when be was prompter down at tbe Olympic as clearly as tnougb it were yester day. Did I bring Mrs. Florence home with me f No. She will remain, in England for an other year. She has a lovely suite of rooms overlooking Trafalgar Square, and seems to enjoy herself very well. True, she likes to act but then there Isn't very much pleasure in one mgnt stands. I suppose we may possibly re sume our joint starring tours at some time or other, hut it will be much later on." The theatrical season in New York has opened very auspiciously, and already several -good, substantial successes have been scored. Gillette's farce, "All tbe Comforts of Home," at the Twenty-third Street Theater, is the latest of these, and much is expected of '"The English Rose," which Charles Fronman will prodnce at the same house in a few weeks. But the patronage and favor that are lavished upon Francis Wilson and bis brilliant performance of "The Merry Monarch" at tho Broadway Theater is surprising everybody. Indeed, the opera's bit has been set sationai in character, and words of praise are beard in ail public places. Tbe big Broadway Theater is always packed with andiences representing a money value to the management of $2,000. Wilson's seven weeks at the Broadway will terminate dn October i and shrewd judges estimate that tbe total receipts for these seven weeks will not fall short of 90,1-90. The true history of Nat Goodwin in London says Dunlap's Stage News is as follows: He made" a contract to appear at tbe Gaiety for six weeks. In "A Gold Mine." He opened July 21, and the next morning, without ono dissenting voice, the critics accorded to Goodwin tbe merit of being very neat and clever, but re served their verdict until they saw him In an other play. He next arranged with J. W. Pigott to produce "Tbe Bookmaker." The effect was magical: not only did the Gaiety play to the best summer business in its record, but Goodwin with one jump reached a point which no American ever tonched outside Knnth and Jefferson. This is all tbe more re markable, as not only did Goodwin have to play a cockney part but bad the courage to play a role created by Eaward Terry, the most popu lar comedian in London, and in his own strong hold at that If Goodwin chose he conld re main in London the rest of bis lite.
