"We have loand in Miss Marie Tempest
Just what we expected a pleasing little girl
ith a fair voice. She is fortunate in ap
pearing in roles that fit her particular qual
ify of talent. Both as Kitty Carroll and
Dorothy the gives yon the impression that no
one else eonld make as much oi the parts as
the does. I suppose she is riRht. When
Marie Tempest grows tired of siDcinc the
parts I don't know where her successor is to be
found.

I wish John Mackay had staved In mnMcal
comedy. He is a good comedian, butl do not
think he is in bis element Id opera. You re
member bow amusing lie was in "Pop." a few
years ago, with prettv Kate Castleton playing
tne oppo.ttep.irt. Perhaps our remembrance
of that excruciatingly funny performance
cansed us to expect more or him last week.
The poor fellow had a very bad cnld. however,
so that mcst be considered in palliation of his
rather inferior work in "Tho lied Hussar" and
Dorothy,"
V
Said George Marion, the Jonah of "A Brass
Monkey," to me tho other day: "1 do not care
for farce-comedy, pure and simple. I think
that a little serious work with the buffoonery
Is preferred by tbe audience, and I am sore I
like it better. I am going to do farce-comedy
sgain next season, however, although not in "A
llrass Monkey.' I have written one entitled
'Mr. MaccarJui,' in which I shall play a bogus
Italian Count and a negro. I Khali have plenty
of opportunity oi exercising my Italian dialect.
How did I learn the dialect? Why, by lining
right in among Italun peddlers and organ
trnndersin 'Frisco and elsewhere. 1 studied
the dialed for years, and now it is no trouble
for me to talk with the peculiar accent of the
American Italian. It is a difficult accent to ac
quire, but when ence you have it it sticks."
V
I Hero is a characteristic letter I have received
from a well-known theatrical manager. It ex
plains itself: "In the whirling vortex of jour
nalistic life and the touching appeals of the
gushing advance agents, do not overlook the
fact that once more lam avant couner.ing'
our wa j, and soon n ill pour into your ear and
Vaste basket tbe manifold attractions of the
Rreat melodrama, "Monej Mad." It is a strong
play, by Steele Mackae, and ought to draw
well, lor there is a "draw" bridge in the play,

A bright young Pittsburger, Mr. John Stur
geon, who has done good work in the com
panies or Messrs. Booth, Barrett and Wardc.
Is about to venture in a new line. He will give
Rhakespearean readings in Dr. Woodburn's
liaptist Church, on Sandusky street, on Tues
day next, under the auspices of the Y. P. S. C
K. Mr. Sturgeon has jast closed a short sea
son in "The Kajah." Judging from what he
has already done, there is hope hat his read

Bijou Theater.
At the Bijou commencing to-morrow evening
Gus. Williams and John T. Kelly.togctberwitb
un excellent company of comedians, wnl pre
sent the entire new musical satire entitled "U
& L" The authors of the skit have attempted
la mild satire on the new York system of fiat
bouses. Those who have never lived in a fiat
may not appreciate the satire, but the fact of
escaping the experience of more than compen
sate for tbe loss of satirical flavor. Yet there
Is a good, consistent plot to "U & I" notwith
standing tbat it has been written for laughing
liurposes, introducing as it does a number of
characters met with in every day life. The
llrst act is located in the parlors of Mile. Ver
micelli's apartment. She is an actress at tho
Hew York Casino. Act II is civeu in the dining
room oi J'rof. TTnqoblotz's apartments
(Gus Williams). Act 11L is the grand fete
pven on the roof garden of the Sitting Bull
iVlats, which is a scene never before seta on the
Is'ew York stage and is a new idea. There are
employed, in order to interpret the niece prop
erly, four )oung ladies who impersonate comic
opera svlphs. erratic as persons in their sphere
of life usually are; a comic opera prima donna
who is worshipped by the Johnnies: a dude,
American by birth but English by adoption; a
policeman, whoe idea of keeping the peace is
to keep a good distance from all disturbances;
s. janitor, n ho is the despotic ruler of the Sit
ting Bull Kla.e; a confidential maid, who is
called Babelte because it is tonier than Bridget;
a retired Irish bricklayer contractor, who visits
tbe metropolis one night and sees enongh to
last him for ever, and a German music teacher,
a victim of circumstances and mixed drinks.
It will at once be perceived that GjS Will
iams plays the German music teacher and John,
T. Kelly the Irish bricklayer, and they exact
enough humor out of their parts to occupy the
entire evening's entertainment, were it not for
the fact that a number ot the very cleverest
comedians will support the two stars and will
assist in keeping up the hilarity throughout
the performance. Aliis riome West, tho
comedienne of the comnanv. bv her beantv nnri
talent, has created a veritable furore m the
large cities in which sLe has kolar appeared
this, season, notably classical Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia. Here is the cast:
Prof. John CngtrbloU, a victim ot circum
stances and mlxtHi drinks, Gns Williams: O'Don
waa Junes, or iiaverstraw, . 1 wuo visits the
metropolis to see life, and sees enough tolaMhlm
forever. John 1. Kcllv; Oncer lutut Haphazard,
a Janitor, the despotic inter of the Sitting Bull
Flats, Charles Wayne. Atiam Clubber, a police
man, whose ideas of keeping the peace Is to keen
at a distance from ail disturbances. Hairy

bl-th, but llntish nyadoutiua. Charles F. Walton;

Vemiecffi maid, calleu liaberte because it is
touler than Uriocet (American debnt). Miss Flor
rieWest; Jirs. Uxgcrblatz, the professor's wire,
whose temporary absence from home is the cause
of the trouble. Miss Anna Caldwell; Jltana S,
: Helta B, Miss Joslt Fair
bank: Carrie C.MIss Florence Carlisle; Grant Jf,
Miss Ida Kalrbank comic opera sylphs, erratic as
persons In their sptiere of useluiness usually are.
Dnquesne Theater.
Manager Henderson, of tho Dnquesne Thea
ter, this neck presents as bis attraction
Thatcher's Minstrels. Mr. George Thatcher,
the humorist, will appear at every perform
ance, and willie seconded in bis fun-provoking
endeavors by Burt Sbeppard. It is said tbat be
makes his points with intelligence, never de
scending to vulgarity. He serves as an excel
lent foil for Thatcher, their duet, "A Feline
Duo," being one of the features of the first
part. Thomas LeMack sings his original song,
The World's Fair." R. J. Jose, the California
tenor, who is one of the sweetest of male sing
ers, will render a new composition, "The Lone
Grave." b, the well-known ballad writer, Paul
Dresir. "Tie solt and silvery tones of Jnse: tbe
pure, clear voice ot Uaymon Moore, Enclisa
balladist: the nth, full notes of H. W. Friliman.
the great basso, and tbe resonant baritone of
Thomas Lewis, will be beard in harmonious
combination in the rendition of "Tbe Bridge."
Jotin A. Coleman will sing "Strolling by the
Sea," introducing bis original and eccentric
dancing. Thomas Lewis will render "Tbe Ship
That Carries Me Home." "Katie Darling"
will be given by Raymond Moore and the "Lost
Chord" by H. W. Friilman. The first part
finale will be entitled "Sticks From the Wood
box of Memory," introducing many once faiml
Ir melodies, presenting Thomas LeMack as
O'rf Holt Itidlni and Messrs. Coleman and
Lewis as the t'An Jj'on Craft. Tho second
pm will include Messra. Gregory and Elmar in
their triple bar performance, Frank Lamondue
In bis original "Fun on a Clothes Line" and
tbe two musical comedians. Wood and Shep.

Grand Opera pouse.
To-morrow evening Mr. Richard Mansfield,
supported by bis own stock companv. begins an
engagement at the Grand Opera House, pre
senting for the first time in this eity tbe new
comedy, "Beau BrummrlU" Mr. Mansfield's
conn-any, comprising among otners, .Messrs, V.
H. Harkins, W. J. Ferguson, W. H. Crompton,
K. G. Andrews, Harry Gwynette. and Misses
Beatrice Gameron, Ethel Sprague, AUela
Measor and Mrs. Julia Brutone. It is nearly
three years since Mansfield appeared In Pitts
burg. Tbe advance sle of seats points to a
prosperous week's business. Several large the
ater parties have been formed for the different
performances 3unng tbe week. ''Beau Brum
mell" is said to be one of the distinct triumphs
of tho modern stage.
Jefferson-Florence.
The appearance of three such arrWi as Mr.
Jefferson, Mr. Florence and Mrs.T)rew, snr.
rounded by other prominent actors and act
resses in1 two such rare comedies as "The
Rivals" and "The Helr-at-Law," is an event of
such peculiar Interest as to waken tbe memories
and stir tbe feelings of the. most staid of play,
goers. Tbe principal people m this company of
players are so well known as to need un comment-
Tfie engagement opens at tbe Du
quesne on March 9 for one week, press n ting
'The Rivals" Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day nights, and "The Heir at-La" Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights and at the matinee
on Saturday, Tbe former was presented here
last season, while the latter has not been seen
here in years.
Davis' Museum.
The SO days' fast of Elmer Collins ig pro
gressing nicely at the Fifth Avenue Museums
but Manager Davis announces a brand new
show this week in every department. In tbe
lectnre hall he will introduce for the first
time in this city Zamora, a triple-jointed won
der, who is prononnced tbe oddest human be
ing alive. He can be bound, chained, tied or
handcuffed in any conceivable way, and will
gain his liberty in an instant. He has double
tbe number of joints of any ordinary man.
Another novelty will be a swarm of bees, with
their Italian aneen. Tbev are in a handsome.
observable hive, made of cherry, and
you can see the bees at W"fk build
ing comb, feeding the young, the queen
laying eg ana tne young oee naicningouc
There is Zinzarett the magician. Madame
Devere. a lady with a luxuriant beard, and
Prof. Webb's fcrnll saw. In tbe cunn hall
the Alhamnra Comedy Company comprising 14
artists in all, will present what is promised to
be one of the strongest shows ever placed in a
museum. Ainmic the artists who will appear
are Charles Dean and FJorence Harrison,
sketch and character performers; the Christy
Brothers, grotesques; Florence and Larry
Blake, who are vocalists, instrumentalists and
comedians; D'Elmore and Baker in a creation
entirely original, and the sketch, topical and
motto artist, Mr. Joseph Ripley.
'World's Museum-Theater,
"Hop O' My Thumb," who bas been the
center of attraction at this popular house tbe
past week, will remain another week. He is
certainly tbe smallest man that ever lived or
that we have ever heard about; one can hardly
believe that such a diminutive being as he is
said to be could live, and be endowed with In
telligence and all other faculties which a fully
matured person can possess, yet nevertheless
such is a fjet, and nothing except a
visit to the museum and an interview with
him could possibly convey any idea
as to what a wonderfully small and intelligent
a person be is. Mme. Irwin, who makes a re
markable ascension by the teeth, is among the
many other attractions in the curio ball this
week, and in the theater the Nihbes' great
specialty company will no doubt entertain tbe
natrons in an excellent performance, as follows:
St. Leon and McCusirk, the great burlesque
dim; Miles and Wyandotte, tbe premier sketch
artists; Lew Tatem, whose burlesque stump
oratory is dendcUy amusing; Moreland and
Thompson, the gifted vocal dno: William
Irwin, who perforins the wonderful feat of
starding on his bead on a swipgingtrapeze bar
and l evolving at great speed unaided by hands
or feet: the two Xibbes. tbe greatest of all
character comedians, and Chris Green, the
eccentric mnsicil moke. Taken altogether, a
great show for 10 cents.
Harry Williams' Academy.
Gns Hill's World of Novelties will bold the
boards at the Academy of Music this week.
Besides Gus Hill himself, tbe company includes
Charles H. Hoey, the champion all-around club
juggle:; Estelle Wellington, tbe dashing queen,
of &ong and dance; Charles G. Seunnur, the
cleverest of mimics, in bis wonderful imitation
ot prominent actors; Frederick J. Huber, the
eccentric character comedian, assisted by Kitty
Allyne, and specialists and vocalists Innumera
ble. Tho show is said to be suonger than ever.
Harris' Tneater.
Harris, Brltton A Dean bave "Lights and
Shadows" at their theater this week. The
Pnlladelpbia Times recently reviewed a per
formance as follows: " 'Lights and Shadows,'
a melodrama seen here before, was presented
according to a reconstructed version, Witt very
handsome scenic effects. Tbe view of the East
river bridge and the representation of a den of
thieves where the water from tbe sewer breaks
in were extremely realistic, and evoked great
applause."
Stage Whispers.
"McCabtht's Mishaps" will toon pay us
another visit.
AK illuminated roof garden scene in "U &. V
is almost an exact representation of the famous
roof garden of tbe New York Casino.
. W. J. Scanlan is having the most successful
tour tbat he bas ever known. It is estimated
that his profits for this eeasdn will reach KKX
000.
In an interview with a New York Serald re
porter Mme. Bernhardt says: iYo3 have one
great artist in America Clara Morns. I saw
her twice. She is wonderfuk"
Er.oNSON- HotvASD has arranged with Stuart
Robson for a production of 'The Henrietta" at
the Avenue Theater in London on March 23. A
well-known English comedian will take the part
plaed here by Mr. Robson.
Tne eminent romantic actor, Robert ManteU,
begins a woek's engagement at the Bijou Thea
ter on Monday evening, March 9, when he will
appear In a spectacular revival .of Alexander
Dumas' famous heroic drama, .'The Corslcaa
Brothers.
Jefferson and Florence, those two incom
parable masters of legitimate comedy, will fol
low the minstrels At the Dnquesne Theater. The
engagement Is for one wetk only, and repor-to-re
of nlay will be given, including, of
cour-e, "The Uival," in which, as Jiob Acres,
Mr. Jefferson has never bad an equal.
Manager David Henderson promises
Pittsburg a season of light opera at the Dn
quesne Theater next summer. The company
which Its now Deing formed is to be away np
and beyond in personnel and equipment any
repertoire company which bas ever whiled
away tbe tedium of the heated months.
Joseph Jefferson is not only an admirable
actor, but be is a painter of much more than
ordinary skill. Tho work that he has performed
In either department of art would bave secured
for him more than common reputation. He
has painted pictures that would have brought
big prices if nobody had ever known the
identity of tbe author. It is quite certain 'that
the name of Joseph Jefferson will never be for
gotten by tbe lovers ot all that Is best in art.
Talking about Denman Thompson's char
acteristic picture of bome-lile framed in 'The
Old Homestead," no matter bow many times
it may be seen, there seem to be jnst as many
hidden beauties in its vivid plcturings as exists
in the average home-life of the present day.
Truly Denman Thompson touched gently a
sulject that is well calculated to come home to
most of its auditors, when be constructed the
foundation of the play which has made his
name to famous.
The sale of "My Aunt Bridget ' on February
20, at Klaw ot Erlanger's Exchange, terminates
the copartnership between George W. Monroe,
Jobn a Rice and Robert B. Monroe, known
under tbe name ot Monroe Rice. By mutual
agreement Monroe & Rice will continue to play
"My Aunt Bridget" until April 20, when all ex
isting contracts will have been filled. At the
auction "My Aunt Bridget" was sold for Si.550
to Mr. Abe Erlanger, and subsequently was
bought bv Robert B. Monroe for $5,000.
Fikst impressions are generally thought the
best, but this does not seem to apply in Steele
Mackare's case with bis plays. The famous
play, "Hazel Kirke,,' was first produced under
tbe title of "Tbe Iron Will." His more recent
play, "Paul Kauvar," first saw the light in Buf
falo as "Anarchy." "Money Mad," his latest,
was originally known by tbe title of "Through
the Dark" and afterward as "The Noble
Rogue." Tbe cbange in each instance bas re
sulted in the success of tbe new. christened
play. This verifies the trite saying: "A wise
man changes his mind and a fool never."
Soi. Smith KussELLsome years ago, played
in a small town, and did not leave until noon
the following day. Iutho forenoon an elderly
countryman saw him about tho hotel, and, after
some hesitation, came up and said: "Be you
the man that played last night at the Opry
Houser" Russell said, "I was the culprit."
"Well, I want to speak to you about a boy o'

How Colds Are Cared In Alaska.
Some of the readers of The Dispatch may
wish to know how colds are cured in the
ircien regions of the north. If so tbe fol
lowing extract from a recent letter of C. E.
Coon, a druggist in Jnnean, Alaska, will
interest them. He says: "Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is selling better than ever.
It is harder to get into tbe boxes than to
sell the remedy alter they are opened."
Mr. Coon's sales were rather light for the
first year he bandied this medicine, but have
increased each year as the people. there be
come better acquainted with its valuable
properties, until it is now the most popular
medicine be handles for coughs and colds,
which shows that real merit is as much ap
preciated in the far north as at home, and
in time the best is sure to become the most
popular. For sale by druggists. tvsu

PAUSE AND PONDER!
, BEFORE BUYING YOUR FURNITURE AND CARPETS.
Don't buy in haste and repent at leisure. It takes but a mornent to strike a bargain, and you may be sorry for it
for years. Remember, there is furniture and furniture, just as there are horses and horses. Don't overlook the
fact, either, that there are in this city unscrupulous" dealers who make a specialty of buying up all the second-hand
furniture they can lay their hands on, retouch them and sell them for new. This questionable way of doing business
may, and undoubtedly does, pay very well as far as the dealer is concerned, but how about the purchaser, who has
