A-
That Spinlin h-.s Ul.en the place o long
liclu liy "Fritz" Eiumit is conceded by most
oi those who have piil particular attention
to tase matteis tor the past few year'.
There is a stron? Jaste for performances of
the k. ml in vi.ili the hero is a handsome
fellow with n imiiral voice, that he nses in
duties t evert scti', generally addressed
to children. Eciciet made fame and fortune
In tills ftv:c of entertainment, and tuero nave
btcn many imitators of his methods. Un
doul'tedlj the mo-t snccesf ul is W. J. Scanlan.
He lb Irish in-tead of German, hut that does
not leseii Ins chances ot pleaitian andietwe,
because Hi re are ceneralU more Irish tlnin

tired I that lie c in taLo "The Irish Minstrel"
ai d do juta well.
cltvcr fmiianv surrounds Mr. Scanlan.
C te of the mot tilcaslnjr. if not the cleverest,
is Mi-s Ma'ie Terzuson, who plays the le.-iih. ;
female puts in Mr. Scanlan's pieces. It is not
ot en tli it a real Irish peasant girl is presented
o i the American stasre. Generally we cet a
j;!os caricature or else a ueak, inane speci
ii md of maidenhood that is like nothinc under
th -un except an acrrebS. and least ot all re--
inbhnjthe hniriit heanty indigenous to the
i-oil of old Ireland. Miss "Ferguson lsanex
. use for anyone falling in love with her, and
her soft bn.Rue is s'lnply bewitching. She is a
finished art. -t, in vbom'the charm of natural
ness is felt by everyone that sees her.
'The Maister of Woodbarrow Is a clever
i ce, but it has a singular misfit company.

with a few exceptions. Xono of the Devon
el ire country rcople are at home in such parts.
1 be have none of the burr on their touguc,
aid tlicv cannot as-uiuc it. They appear to
hae studied the dialect lrom books, instead of
m a octating with the people accustomed to
ue it in their daily lives. They are all good
ai lists, too. Their deficiencies are natural,
and such as cannot be overcome by education.
1 ins applies to Mr. feothern, as well as to the
two Udies that play Mrs. liollut ana Deborah
respectively.
.
1 here is not much to bo glad about in the in
tention of Sol Smith Russell to try a new play
next season. "A Poor Kelation" is so pleasing,
and it seems to tit Mr. Russell eo exactly, that
we cannot conceive of another play that'would
pive him the sarae;opportumty to exhihitjns tal
ents, btili, as he ays, lie has dona "A Ioor
Relation" lor three j ear:?, and he feel3 as if he
needs a change. There is one comfort, he cap
not be anything but entertaining, no matter
what he appears in.
Bijou Theater.
Anew play is to bo seen at the Bijou to
morrow evening. It is entitled "Yon Yonson."
The hero, a Swede, is played by Gus IXeese.
The play has been well spoken of by the press
In other cmes, and that the manager believes
In It is proved by tbo following, which he gives
The Bitatcu, in evident good faith: "The
dramatic interest of "Yon Yonson' is very
strong, and what is always commendable, it is
In the hands of an exceptionally strong com
pany. Mo star, hoveer clever, can afford to
weaken his support. Gus Heege. who plays
the title role in Yon 1 onson, will always com
pel attention by his admirable characterization
of a new and unique t pc.but the excellent com
panj surrounding him aid in giving a smooth
and satisfactory performance. Marion Klinore,
a prime favorite, plays the part ct abovwith
rare ability. Lena Merville plays a soubrette
role, and handles it with a cleverness born of
long experience and natural brightness. .Esther
I.jonea-ily wins the sympathies of the audi
ence in the part of an adopted daughter. Sadie
Connollj dances and acts intelligently as an
eccentric old Irishwoman. Charles C Manbury
does same great acting as a villain, become so
through for;e of circumstances; William Lee
is as clever as the wicked partner; Charles
btedman doubles two congenial roles excel
lently, and W. K. Wilson is admirable as an
J--nclsli tourist. The Mackinaw Lumberman's
Quartet give some excellent selections. The
tcenic effects of "Yon Yonson.' particularly the
lumber camp m the second act, are superb. The
sci ne is laid in winter, and the effects of sunset
and moonlight on the snow and ice are beauti
ful in the extreme, 1 he mechanical effect in
tins act. showing the breaking of the log jam
and a thrilling rescue, always brings down the
uou-e."
Duqtiebiio Theater.
"The County r'air," Neil Burgess' New York
access, comes to the Duqucsne Monday for
one week. 1 be plot of the piece hinges mainly
upon a horse race at the county fair, which is
run at full speed for three-quarters of a mile in
fuilviewof the audience. One of the horses
belongs to Miss Abagail J'rue, whose prim
curis, old maidenish was, houesty, bigheart
edness and willingness to take the whole world
into her sympathy, always win the hearts of the
audience Hi r colt has been entered by her
bo of all work, who has heard ol the niortgago
on her little home, and is anxious to save
the place to bis benefactress. Ot course,
"Cold Molasses," for that's the horse's name
wins, and the dear old lady is saved further
anxit t Tne race is bona fide, with mechanism
of revolving tracks. Besides Ihe race scene,
ti ere is tne husking bee on the great floor of
the old country barn, which is equally true to
nature, and w hich will appeal with fully as
great strength to memories of b)gone days.
Then there is the characteristic old country
dance, full of music, mcriiinent and motion,
and as like the original as one pea is like an
other. The company is said to be a powerful
one, every member especially selected for his
or her htness for tho character to be imperson
ated, and includes the "County Fair" quar
tette. The "Count) Fair" is rural in its in
tent, but it is realistically rurak The scenes
and characters might be taken from real life,
and even the horses In the race scene are rid
den by professional jockos. Wednesday and
baturdar matinees will be given during the en
gagement. Grand Opera House
Anew comic opera, entitled "Influence," is
to bo given at tho Grand Opera House next
week, commencing Monday. A 2ew Haven
paper says: "Influence," tho new comic opera
by J. Franklin Warner, which was produced at
Bunnell's Grand Opera Uouse last evening,
was a pronounced success, if one may judge by
the cordial manner In which it was received by
a very large and very friendly audience. Tho
music is certainly pleasing, and the piece was
beautilully costumed. The scene in the third
act, representing the ship Polaris, imprisoned
In the ice of the Arctic Ocean, is dazzlincly
beautiful.
"The clot of the opera gives rise from first to
last to a series of comical situations, which are
made the best of by tbc company. Mr. Peasley
particularly distinguished himself as William
J alone, and Miss Donnette as Bridget il alone.
Miss Beatrice Golde. the prima donna of the
company, who impersonates Miss Livingston,
is a graceful young lady with an excellent
voice, which she displaced to good advantage
In the sentimental and humorous numbers
which fell to her lot."
Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum,
A convention of Fat Womenl The idea
sounds quoer enough, bat It will be turned Into
palpable fact by Manager Harry Davis at hli
Fifth Avenne Museum this week. Fat worn en
will arrive In this city from all quarters ol
America, and at 10 A. K. on Monday morning
will be escorted round Pittsburg by a proces
sion of giyly dressed squires ana pages, with a
brass Dand of SO pieces. The parade.over, they
will adjourn to the Fifth Avenue Museum,
where they will be called to order by Miss
Maude Muller, who will act as President of the
convention. Miss Muller is the delegate from
Xew York State, and weighs oTer 1,000 ponnds. J
Tho Secretary of the convention will b Madame
Johnston, Pennsylvania's representative,
whotipithe beimatSOO pounds. Atnongthe
other delegates t be present arc: Mrs. Louisa
Cortnni, weighing K0 pound', and represent
ing New Jersev; Miss Marie Cortoni. of Dela
ware, weighing 6u0 pounds: Big 'Alice, of In
diana, weighing 900 pounds; and Miss Anna
Bell, ot Ohio, weighing TOO pounds. Tho con
vention will last one week, aud its delibera
tions will bo open to the public. The Fat
Women's Convention w ill bo followed at Harry
Davis' Fifth Aeiiuc Museum by the Pittsburg
first annuil baby show, which opens April 17.
Manager Davis has offered 1,500 in prizes to
the successful babies, and entries ate already
being made at the museum box office. Every
baby will be presented with a jumper by the
Raymond Manufacturing Company, of Corry,
Pa.
'World's Museum.
At this popular place of amnsement thelead
Ing attraction this week will be Nellie Yonng,
tho golden-haired marvel, sun-tinted, gold
glcaming wonder and her lovely children, the
justly famous 10,000 beauties. Pearl and Ruby,
the handsomest children in the world. The
above is a bold assertion to make, when it is so
generally known that every mother is apt to
think her own children to be the handsomest
and the best. But wherever Pearl and Ruby
bac been exhibited, mothers of really hand
some children have freely admitted that the
claim made for these charming children is not
one whit too great. Their features are like
ideal features of angels, and are the admira
tion of artists and students of physiognomy.
Too girls aro iinely shaped, have very delicate
features smooth, clear complexions, beautiful
black eyes, and a fascinating perfection of
visage. Tnev are rare ana radiant mortals to
look upon. It would bo beneficial for every
mother in the land to gaze upon these phe
nomenal cherubs. In addition to these there
are many curiosities and a splendid variety
show.
Academy of Music
Messrs. Weber and Fields, two of the jolliest
and cleverest of Teutonic comedians, who will
appear with their own company at tho People's
Theater this week, seem to have struck the
key note of popular favor, not only in their
own comical caricatures, bnt in the make-up of
their company and their "combination" pro
gramme. Theirs is the only company now traveling
which gives a combined specialty and farce
comedy programme, and their success has been
lully as great as their departure from the
"beaten path" sbonld warrant. In addition to
giving a high-class specialty entertainment the
entire companv appears in one of the most irre
sistible of lunny absurdities, entitled "A Crazy
Quilt"
Harris' Theater.
The German comedian Charles A. Loder
comes here next week, appearing in a ncw;mu
sical farce comeay entitled, "Hilarity." The
comedy is said to be a conglomeration of every
thing that is funny, jolly, and musically brilliant.
Whispers.
Hadsox CnAiiBF.ns has written a new play
called "The Pipe ot Peace."
"A Tair of Jacks," another new farce
comedy, is going to ne here ere long.
GkattaxDosselit's opera, "Ship Ahoy,"
is to follow "Fashions" at the Grand Opera
House.
The J. M. O'Riley Comedy Company will
give an entertainment to-morrow evening in
Academy Hall, Wilkinsburg.
Miss Molly Beuciii.er (Beatrice More), of
Allegheny, is at home resting. She will star
next season in a new play and company of her
own.
William H. Ceake and his entire New
York company will introduce the successful
"Senator" to Pittsburg audiences In a fort
night. "ICidnapped," by Mr. Hjggins. who is also
the author of "The Plunger," will shortly be
seen at one of our local theaters. It Is to have
its Initial performance to-night at Havlin's
Theater, Chicago.
Augustus Prrou's new play, "The Power
of the Press," seems to be successful in New
Yoik. The scenic effects are said to be mar
velous, and as every one knows who knows Mr.
Pitou, the company is excellent.
Mr. David Hesdersos's new spectacle
will be presented at tho Chicago Opera House
in a low weeks, and the scenery and costumes
are already nearlng completion. The produc
tion will be the most important that he has j et
given. The story is taken from the "Arabian
Nights."
ADOLPHE Maillart, the veteran French
actor, is dead at the age of SO. Ho was in tho
company at the Theatre Fraucals from 1839 to
IhOG, when he retired from the stage. In bis
day he bad supported Rachel and other famous
players. He was a brother of Aline Maillart,
the composer.
DoxxELLTand Girard, those clever come
dians, will follow "The County Fair" at the
Duquesue, presenting for one week their
laughablo farce comedy, "Natural Gas." The
compahy appearing is said to he the best they
have ever had, and includes a number of good
voices, pretty girls and clever specialists.
"BLUE Jeaks," with its sawmill in full oper
ation, is going to pay us a visit shortly. Tnis
play was eminently successful In New York
and packed the Fourteenth Street Theater for
months. It is said to be highly sensational, yet
there is lots of real worth from a dramatic
standpoint, and the company is a most excel
lent one.
THE Pittsburg Amusement Lyceum is now
prepared to furnish first-class entertainments
for churches, societies and private parties.
They are also agents for Mallon's School for
Stage Arts. Lessons on the piano and banjo and
stage dancing are to be taught here. Mr. Mal
lon, the manager, is a clever artist and should
make a success of his new enterprise.
Mr. Joseph Arthur's purely American
play, "The Still Alarm," will be seen at the
Bijou next week. The fire engine scene, show
ing the hitching and start of the horses to' the
fire, is probably one of the most realistic scenes
ever shown on any stage. The beautiful trained
horses and the patient hound will accompany
the company as far as Pittsburg. The play has
been seen here several times, and always plays
to enormous business.
English dramatists and actors have advised
Bronson Howard to cut out the death scene in
"The Henrietta," on account of its being op
posed to the tradition of true comedy, as
viewed by the English play-goer. Mr. fetuart
Robson has, however, cabled Mr. Howard that
uo concessions must be made to such prej udices
that the comedy must be played according to
the American text, and that be will "shoot the
dramatist on sight" If he dares to cut out a
single comma.
The prospects of Gilbert and Sullivan again
collaborating in bringing about.D'Oyley Carto
productions, a possibility which was recently
looked upon as being almost a contract entered
into, is now believed to have ended in what it
began in smoke. The friends of both say that
it is impossible to bnng the two former friends
togetber again. Mr. Gilbert, in addition to his
serious misunderstanding with Sir Arthur
Sullivan, has also had a row with Alfred
Celher.
There is a wonderful amount of excitement
anion; Pittsburg mothers just at present. Hun
dreds of dovecotes in both cities have been
fluttered, and the forthcoming baby show in
Harry Dayis' Fifth Avenue Museum is the
cause ot it all. Baby shows in any community
arc unusual affairs and require a very large ex
penditure of tact to bnng them to a successful
issue. Mr. Davis has offered 1,500 in cash
prizes for his baby show during the week of
April 13, while a number of Pittsburg mer
chants have placed JoOO ot goods at the mana
ger's disposal to be competed for in the show.
At tho Grand Opera House, the week of
April 13. Robert Fitzsunmons, of Australia,
will appear with Billy Woods, of Denver, and
spar for points in a three-round glove coutest
unlike the usual exhibitions generally given of
the manly art. Tho champion will be supported

Tho Roush Experience of a Baldwin Loco
motive Representative in Brazil.
ElO Janeiko, April 4. The Baldwin
Locomotive Company, of Philadelphia, has
a practical monopoly of the business of sup
plying motive power to the numerous
"boom" railways nnder construction in this
country. Mr. P. B. Sheldermine, of Phila
phia, was sent out by the Baldwin Company
to instruct the railway people in the man
agement and the peculiarities of the loco
motives. A new engine was recently
furnished the railway in Alasoas, known
as the Paulo Alfonso. Mr. Shelmerdine
left Piranhas January 20 to initiate the
manager of the road, the master mechanic,
etc., and make a practical test of the new
machine. All were in the locomotive cab
or on the tender. They bad proceeded only
a kilometer when on a curve the locomotive
suddenly left the metals and rolled down
the bank 70 feet. Mr. Shelmerdine remem
bers nothing of the occurrence save that he
felt the engine sinking beneath him.
When be recovered consciousness be was
lying on the Bide of the embankment bleed
ing from wounds on bis bead, arm and
leg. The locomotive lay at the foot.
Immediately on arriving Mr. Shelmerdine
was arrested by a squad of the filthy black
soldiers by order ot the local "Dogberry,"
and placed in jail, which was a fearful
plsce. Outside a mob of blacks collected
and howled for his life. Alter a while he
was taken out of the foul dungeon, and, sur
rounded by armed men, was removed to a
small steamboat on the river near by. The
mob followed to the place of embarkation,
yelling and howling. Through the protest
of the American Consul, a bearing was
cranted Jlr. Shelmerdine and be was re
leased. Reasons for Purchasing Everett Pianos.
Because they are manufactured from the
most carefully selected material.
Because they remain in tune and up to

"Because the tone of the Everett piano is
powerful, yet pure and well sustained.
Because lrom their sympathetic quality
of tone they are admirably adapted to the
voice.
Because they contain all desirable Im
provements. Because the manufacturers are practical
musicians and mechanics, familiar with
every branch of their business.
Because every piano is thoroughly tested
before leaving the factory.
Because each Everett piano is warranted
for seven years.
Because by purchasing from Alex. Boss,
137 Federal street, Allegheny, you will save

PASSENGEES SHAKER UP.
A Bido-Tracked Freight Car Projecting
Over tho Main Track the Cause.
Wilkesbakke, April 4. The Buffalo
express on the Lehifh Valley Bailroad,
which left here at 1 o'clock, was wrecked at
Port Bolkely station, five miles from here.
One end ot a train of coal cars that were
switched in at that place, in some manner
was allowed to project on the main track.
The passenger train, which runs through
that place at about 40 miles an hour, crashed
into the cars before the engineer could apply
the brakes.
The cab of the engine was completely torn
away on the right side, the front of the bag
gage car was wrecked, and one ol the Pull
man sleepers derailed. The escape of the
passengers was almost miraculons. The en
gineer and baggagemaster were slightly in
jured. The passengers were well shaken up
and badly frightened, but all escaped un
hurt. INTER-STATE
Building and .Loan Association.
A lew reasons why the security to share
holders in the Inter-State Bnilding and
Loan Association, of Bioomington, 111., is
just as safe as Government bonds and pays
five times the interest.
1. In strict compliance with the laws un
der which this association is incorporated,
all officers are amply and safely bonded to
indemnify the shareholder against loss by
the non-fulfillment or neglect ol their official
duties.
2. The law provides that no money shall
be loaned only to its own members, nor in
any sum in excess of the amount of stock
held by such members, borrowing, and that
it shall be loaned on good and ample real
estate unincumbered.
3. That all mortgages must be made non
negotiable and uucollectable in the hands of
any other person than said association. Aud
that no officer or numberof officers can in any
way pledge said mortgages as security, nor
use them for their own use or personal
benefit. This fact alone offers absolute se
curity to tbc stockholder.
4. Our assets are first mortgages on real
estate, and are growing better each month
the borrower pays.
C. No combination can be formed by
capitalists, syndicates, or members, whereby
the interests of one, however small, will be
jeopardized.
6. All associations are governed by the
law under which they are chartered; and
nnder the law of Illinois this association
cannot speculate in "margins," "stocks,"
"bonds," etc., nor loan one dollar on a note,
even were it signed by the wealthiest men
.of our country. Thus the security of the
Inter-State Building and Loan Association
is as near absolute as the wisdom of man can
well devise.
The Inter-State has loaned over ?200,000,
and has a total security of $3 51 ior each
dollar loaned. The profits to date are equal
to 20 per cent Series for April now open;
shares, 60 cents per mouth. All stock can
be withdrawn and interest paid up to time
of withdrawal, by giving 30 days' notice.

ment can obtain lull information by apply
