V "Warm wealheranJ not aslonishincly strong attractions made last week bard sledding for theatrical managers in this city. In a-arm weather Pittsburg will not go to see hi lil y sensational plays, and has decided objections to being made to weep. Conse quently most of the theaters might as veil haTe closed their doors since Monday last. This wees: Farce comedv at the Bijou, and legitimate drama nt the Duquesne stand a better chance with tlieater-coing public. It is undeniable also that "Thou Sbalt Not," a dramatic version of a novel which nas been severely criticized, has set people's eyes toward the Grand Opera House. Tbe ralmcr.Madi'ion Square Compmy needs no recommendation, but it Is to be hoped that nobody who admires the dramatic art and artistic exponents will miss the performances In which Jln AdaDjas, one of tbe greatest actreses America has produced, Maurice Barrjmnre, Maud Harrison and several others I real cote are to appeir. V The theatrical season does not look much like quitting in New York. Next week will be as busy a one as the New York dramatic editors bare yet bad this season, as so less than seven new plays are underlined for production. These are: -Home. Sweet Home." at the Academy; "The Envoy," at the btar: "Wang," at tbe Broaduav; "Apollo," at the Casino; "Work ana Wagei-," at the Grand; "Hie Witch,' at the Peoples'; and "lhe .Mei chant," at the Jladison hquare. It take a pretty big town to produce seven new plays during three nights of one veeE. and that in the "merrie month of May." It is doubtful if London, with its numer ous matinee productions, often beats this. "During tbe past neck In New York Rose Coghlan's production of "Lady Barter," writ ten by ber brother Charles, has been the most notable event. The ulav is not much of a go apparently. AtNiblo'sa beautiful dark-eyed and dark-haired (southern actress made her kppearance in a play called "Tbe Beautiful blavc." Tbe play is a disconnected jumble ot "The Wbito Slave," "Fate" and -Undo Tom's Cabin," and cannot hope to succeed, but Miss Lamar herself made a very pleasingiinriession and will succeed if she makes haste slowly. Hhe has a sweet voice, a f."iy, graceful way, melting eyes and a little touch ol sincerity and pathos in ber acting that is likcl to help her borne div when si p sb ill be nrauerl nlaced At the Union square, hi art Rubson has re turned fur a -.easoii or lno Kicks. The Hen rietta" bcgaD the season, hut the t UentPd come dian mav, perlinp. produce Archie Gordon's ead now plaj, "Is Maniageara,liircJ" literon. "lhe Hemietta" has done a erv large busi ness. Ljdia Thomptun and her comedy of merrvju ikers ate also doing well with "The 'Dazzlcr" at the Windsor, juil tbos Terv popu lar lumediaui, Donnelly and Girard, have been filling me Grand Open Iiouse. i The cable brings Tub Dispatch the follow ing gossip from London: Kroai all present in dications the cun'age and skill of Misses "Marion Lea and Elizabeth Kobir.s. the two American actresses u ho hive beeu stemming the tine of popular disfavor in their eff iris to make a success out of Ibsen's latest "Hedda Gabler," seem hkelj to be rewarded with irtlstic and financial success. Tbe success of "Hcdda Gabler" is in part due to the fact that n spite of tbe heaps of abuse piled npou Ibsen adlbsemsm that cult cr fad Is f ast develop- ig the characteristic of a fall fledged craze. he critics, it uouk! anpear, in their anxiety to ;rush out of cxistcnci tbe buddlug flower of Ibsemsui. have so eiclted public curiosity by their bitter comments and uiihermg remarks that the have defeated tbe object they had in new, and the budding flower, aitr weathering the storm, is now blooming vigorously. Henry lrving's revival at the Ljceuni Theater of "Olivia" his. so far. proved to be an un profitable venture. Geraldine TJlmar. the popular American actress. ho in this city on March SU last, only about a month ago, married Ivan Caryl", the young composer and conductor of the Lyceum Theater, seems alreadv to be preparing for her return t j the footlights The Plucky tight againtt adiersity which Wil-on Barrett has been making at the new Olympic Theater has reached a climax with the failure of hlsrevnal of Belpbegor" nnder the title of The Acrobat," Ibis last J ail uro hasinuueed "Mr. Barrett to announce his annual benefit for baturday. May 9, after which be will trt to re cuperate his bank account in the provinces while sciiously meditating over making a tour of Australia, after the example of his friend Mr. Toole, the comedian. A leisurely surveT of somuclyof Mr. Davis' new theater as is finished convinced mo yes terday that It will be indeed a surprise to Pitts burg when completed. The roominess of tbe approaches to tbe auditorium, not so much the lobby as the foyer, is the striking feature of the plans so far as they are sow displayed. It is also clear that unusual loftine-s will be achieved lor the first balcony, thus providing for tbe comfort of those sitting In the rear part of the parquet, usually :a baked and abused sec tion of the audience. Tne strike ut the men in tbe building trades has temporarily interfered with the progress of tbe wurlc, but it is so far ad vanced that Mr. Davis can afford 10 wait some weeks berore worrying about the delav. It is easy to be seen that the election of Davis' Theater will devclnp tbe revolution in Pitts burg's theatrical affairs amazingly. The com forting thought occuis that the theater-going public will be benefited moat in any event. Hepburn Joints. Bljon Theater. . Manager John H. Havlin's company of com edians, under the management of Mr. J. J. Rosenthal, coming direct from Havlin's own circuit theaters In Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, will make their first appearance at the Bijou Monday evening and during tbe week, presenting here for the first time the latest far-' efcal success, "A, Pair of Jack," by Grattan Donnelly, author ot thoso popular plays, "Natnral Gas," "Later On," etc The play has scored a remarkable success in very leading city rrom Tlttsburg to San Francisco. Perhaps the best idea of tbe piece may be obtained from tbe following notice from the Cincinnati JSnquirer: "Grattan Donnelly's latest farce corned). "A Pair ot Jacks," wan administered at Havlin's yesterday afternoon and evening to packed houses. Literally speaking, it was a bonling success, and the laughing festival is on the tapis for a phenomenally large week's business Tbe business of the farce relates, to the two Jacks tbe Doctor and the Judge getting into all sorts of scrapes. There is f un in the skit, and plenty of clever comedians to make it, as well as good sinters, dincers and pretty girls. wh6 appear in various well arranged effects, combined with daah and spirit. The action takes place in a young ladies' seminary, Thetbieadof the plot binges on the courtship of two seminary girls by Judge nl Doctor Jack, who bear such a striking re semblance to each other that even tbeii sweet hearts become confused over their respective identities. Tbe confusion is heightened by tbelr bearing the tame name. In the company there are four amusing comedians R. G. "Knowles, Georgo R. Booker. Charles .Beach and Harry Btarftey. Tbe princi pal funmster. Knowlee. Is certainly a great cornelian. He one several really clever specialties, acd made one, of the bi I If f the day. Booker Is also a good one. .-Xne veoond act is devoted principally to a well. arranged selection of specialties, which intro duce Miss Winifred Johnson as an excellent lianjoist. Her performance on tbe instrument -was tbe oause of much pleasure, and she was repeatedly encored. Tbe topical vocalists, Mel ville and Stetson, are the big hits of tbe show. Win Armstrongs rendition of Conlradss' was " ? sajsjjerTeaisijantafjimonl U TerjJ, pretty and dresses beautifully. Tbi trio dance of Knowles, Roach and Booker Is very fnnny. Take all in all 'A Pair of Jacks' Is a great show." Judgine from the foresolng "A Pair of Jacks" should play tq packed bouses all week. Grand Opera House. The production of the play, "Thou Sbalt Hot," at the Grand Opera House May i, will certainly be watched with a good deal ot inter est Ever since tbe novel was published play wrights have admitted that it was full of dra matic scenes and stirring dialogue, but tbe difficulties in tbs way of adapting It to tbe stage seemed insuperable. The version to be used, prepared by Mr. Max Freeman, fol lows the story as told in tbe boos with tbe ex ception that the close is happy instead of tragic. Manager Brady Is enthusiastic over it, and has Shown his confidence In its success by arranpng for good, scenery an d other parapher nalia, and by engaging the best cast that conld be obtained. For the first act, which is laid in fie Madison avenue apartments of Sector Grencurne.the scenio artists have taken the bachelor quarters of several well-known clubmen of Inxurious tastes as models, com bining their various excellencies. Tbe second act, showing tbe village of Spnngdale. on Long Island bound, will utilize the possibilities of tbe location tn picture tbe barbor, wltb Its yachts, cc. whllo tbe main features are the forge of Dinmorr, where be shoes the horse of the nnng rogue, and the cottage of Clara Campbell, over the war. lhe great sceno in the novel. In which Qreybumt returns at night and enters the rlrl's dwelling throuch a win dow, is reproduced with strong effect. The third act is set in a clubhouse on the Hudson, and represents the famous dinner at which tbe wager is nude. lhe fourth, an elegant bridal suite at thn Hoffman, on which no expense has been spared, and the fifth has the sane setting as the first act, open'uz with the abduction of the daugh ter bv Walter Campbell, out of revengo for the slight put upon his sister. The long experience of Mr. Freeman as a stage manager will stand him in good sicnd tn tbe detail of a play like this. The Yankee Made &ys of .Mr. Ross Ibat be has sold more novels in the first two years ot bis literary career than any other American, living or dead. Last month, at tbe end of 21 months from tho issue of the first copy, tbe publisher placed tbe figures 400,000 on the cov ers.

There are not very many organizations on the variety stage that have the strength of Sam T. Jack's Creole Burlesque Combination, which plays a return engagement at Harry Williams' Academy this week.Tbe company has met witb(Wondrrf ul snccess'all over tbe country, and for this, no doubt, the beauty and attrac t hen ess of the members is responsible. It is bardlv necessary to add that the 0 members of this organization include very many band some and clever women, wboappear in brilliant marches as well as nianv excellent specialties. The spectacular featnres, of tbe programmes are most effective, pleasing the eye and daz zling tbe beholder with visions of Southern beauty and warmth. There are taking songs, excellent dances and a liberal allowance of wit and humor interspersed throughout tbe per formances. "World's Musedm-Theater.

The programme will wind up with "Christmas Dinner." a whimsical bit ot broad farce in which Sam Wade, Ben Payne. Al Anderson and York Anderson will take cart. A new and popular idea of tbe enterprising managers of the World's Museum is that of having tbe Letague and Association ball games reported by innings and scored in full sight of the audi ence during tbe afternoon in tbe Curio Hall. These returns will be strictly accurate, being brought from the various cities by special leased wire to tbe Museum's operator in the balL Harry Davis' Museum.

Miss Coghlan's genuine merits as an actress have been recognized InNew York ever since she became loading lady ot the Wallack Company, and the friendly feeling entertained for ber by all play-goers would have assured the success of a much worse play than "Lady Barter." She has shown some business judg ment, too. In surrounding herself with a thor oughly competent company. John T.

Ta Spirit Greatly Worried iboit Deoti He Had "rThea on Earth. BIG BOJUTIOKS TO POT HIM SQUARE BntOHAMTOK, N. Y., May 2. A most remarkable ghost story has just come to light which were it not for the standing or the person who relates it, would be unworthy of credence. Incredulous as it may seem it can be vouched for. Two years ago llicbael Connors, fireman on the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com pany's Ea'ilroad, was killed in the tunnel. Connors was a single man and lived with bis parent in this city. The incidents or his death had passed away from the recollections of all except his'most intimate friends and family, but they were vividly recalled a lew weeks sgp, when it is alleged that a sister of the deceased astonished the fam ily by claiming that the disembodied spirit of the beloved and departed one was npcturnally floating through space, nnd that on a certain hour it wa in communi cation with her. It would appear at her chamber window and gently tap on the pane lor admission. , "Worried About Ills Mundane Debts. She claimed that the spirit was very much annoyed on account of the debts that Connors owed at the time of his taking off, and that she had been importuned to secure the money some way and pay them. She said that it was tbe spirit's request that the lantern that her brother earned should be kept burning at the foot of her bed, as it bsd been bis custom when he was hereon eartb, as he desired to make a spiritual trip to the spot where he met his death, Tbo young lady was ill at the time, and she insisted that the lantern should be kept burning nichts. The family were nearly trlghtdtied out of their wits, bnt she told them to have no fears, as the spirit would not harm her. The story at the time became current among her friends, many of whom called to see her. She told them of the visit of the spirit of tbe departed and beloved brother, and that she needed money to liquidate his debts. His spirit would never rest in peace until the obligations against him were paid. Many a Good Bound bam. Her story was generally believed, and her appeals for money were generously re sponded to, and as her illness was somewhat protracted she secured a round sum of the coin of tbe realm. She sent for the engineer with whom her brother worked. (She told him of the spiritual visit ition, and stated that the spirit bad said to her that it had fre quently visited the tunnel and had ridden on tbe engine. The engineer was not a lit tle exercised over the strange story. For weeks after that when he passed through the tunnel he kept a sbarp lookout for the strange apparition. Soon after the young lady recovered, and it was supposed that she had used the money as the spirit indicated to pay her brother's debts. A short time alter her recovery she was married, and her trosseau was one! of beanty and richness. It was not until after her marriage that she told some of her most- intimate friends how she secured tbe funds to pay for her wedding outfit. She had no monev and was betrothed; the wedding day was fast approaching; in order to get money to pay lor her wedding outfit she conceived of this ghostlr tale, and she was thereby enabled to fulfill 'her promise. The couple are living in this city, nnd to all appear ances are contented and happy. 1. 'sr Lace Curtain Sale t Thousands of short curtains in Notting ham and brusseU lace at 15c, 19o and 25c.
