The past -week has heen a quiet one for the theaters, the May Festival drawing largely from the audiences of all of them, although Mrs. John Drew and her excellent company played to pretty fair business at the Du quesne. Madame Jananschek's artistic per formances have not received the attention they deserved. We are loath to believe the announcement that after haTing been be fore the public for nearly 60 years, she pro poses finally to leave the stage this season. If this is the case, and Madame Janauschek has certainly earned the right to rest, the stage Trill sustain a loss indeed. There are Yerv few actresses of Madame Jannnanliplr'a school and abilities left, and we con ill afford to lose her. The appearance of young Mr. Clarke of this city In comio opera was one of the events looked forward to with interest this summer, but it seems probable that it will be postponed, as "King Kalico" will not be done at the Acadomy as promised. The backer backed out: that is, the backer was a minor and his guardian refused his permis sion for the contemplated theatrical specu lates. Over eights- people were thrown out on th cold, cold world b this unfeeling and unsympathetic guardian. AXewYork rrespondem writes: "The Binglo novelty j week is the Tar and the Tartar." at raider's, by the McCaull Opera Company, now managed by Hairy Askin. The libretto is by Harry B. Smith, of Chi cago, who has done much clever work in comio opera, and the music by Adam ItzeL nn eccentric Baltimorean, who himself con ducted the opera on Monday, and added an other low comedy part to Mr. Smith's amus ing story by swaying to the rhythm of his ditties and hammering as furiously on his aesK as cuu the late lamented Jacques Offen bach when young. Mr. Itzel is,, however, a very young and enthusiastic musical genius himself, and his work, a combination of sugary, tingling melodies, and pompous choruses that is sure to meet with success, especially during the coming warm weather. Mr. Smith's book is an ttmusing treatment of an old theme, that of the shipwrecked sailor who is thrown on shore in time to find himself the Sultan of Morocco and the possessor of 400 new wives, but his only Simon-pure, original and virago wife turns up as one of the queens of the harem, and Mr. Smith makes the Tar and Tartar in fine styli On Monday Mr. Mans field began his summer season at the Gar den Theater with "A Parisian Romance," the play which first brought him promi nently before the public as Baron Chcvnal, a revolting old French roue, an! his appear ance is. if anything, more disgustingly real istic than ever before. Rosina Vokes again changed her bill, reviving three familiar farces at Daly', and at tho Fourteenth Street Theater "McCarthy's Mishaps," an ir resistibly funny knockabout farce comedy, has been doing n wonderfully large business. For this week the Davenport production of "Cleopatra" overshadows everything in the theatrical line. Tho season Is nearly ended and in two weeks' time practically tho theaters of Pittsburg will have closed. Hxrcnitx Jonss. Bijou Theater. A new drama.illustratlngreallifelnagreat city and exciting incidents In the life of fire men, is the card for this week at the Bijou. "The Midnight Alarm" has melodrama, comedy and specialty features, and fine scenery. The play opens on Pier 24, East river, . New Yoik City, showing the Brooklyn bridge. Statue of Liberty, Brook lyn in the distance, boats, fenies, etc., cross ing East river between Now Toik and Brook lyn. The villain, Silas Oamngford, is foiled In the effort to injure SparUe, a little stieet waif, who stands between him and a fortune. Act Becond takes place on Uncle Gideon's farm, where the little girl has been taken, the occasion being tho lortieth anniversary of Uncle Gideon, and his wife, and gives opportunities for some irresistibly droll comedy, whilo never for a moment is the humor allowed to bubsido during this act. Act three brings the scene back to New York City again. Here the villain is outwitted by 8parl.lt in a number of tho most ingeniously contrived sceues and complications. It is in this act that the great sensation, the living statue clock, is introduced. Act four is the culmination of the great interest of this piece. Hero is presented one of the most effective scenes, the interior of the Hayes Truckhouse, New York City, a verita ble fire station down to the minutest par ticulars. Through the deep rascality of the villain, a plot has been arranged to set fire to his own arehouses on the East river, and onthelaststroko of midnight the alarm is to be run-in. The deep-toned gong peals out tnc midnight alarm, and then follows a great piece of stngo mechanism. A ponder ous engine, vomiting out flame and smoke, preceded by two magnificent horses, is whirled across tho stage. After it, rumbling and clattering, comes the Ha es truck, fol lowed In turn by hose carts, etc The effect of this climax is said to be electrical. The fifth and last act all ends bappilv, vil lainy is punished, heroism rewarded, and while containing the dramatic aftermath of the preceding act, it is rich in comedy. The Duquesne Theater. A distinct novelty is promised to the pa trons of the Duqucsne this week, Scott Marble's latest and greatest success, "The Patrol." The occasion is doubly interesting In the fact that It marks the first presenta tion upon tho Duquesne stageof what Is said to be refined melodrama. "The Patrol" is a piece which is said to possess all the pic turesque beauties, all the tense human Inter est, and all the scenic magnificence of the "LightB '0 London" coupled with the refine ment of that other great English success, "The Silver King." The word melodrama has fallen Into disrepute with the patrons of high class theaters, owing to the misappli cation of it in the classification of the w eird and terrible pictures which aro the delight of the gallery gods in the cheap theaters of the country, but "The Patrol" is said to bo a melodrama of the higher order, one which delights the occupants of the boxes and orchestra chairs as ell as the sensa tionally inclined denizens of the regions above The stoiy is founded on a grea?sen , sation in Chicago which lecently astounded the country and set the news-bearing wires athrob with horrible intelligence. It is re plete with realism and novelty and the scenes and incidents are those of real life in any one of the great cities. As the name Indicates, the story presents a vivid scries of pictures of the interior workings of the modern-police system. The interior of the celebrated Harrison street police station is reproduced as perfectlv as the painter's art can do so, and tho barri of tho patrol system at the West Lake street station, Chicago, with horses and wagons standing quietly awaiting the call, officers lounging about or playing at some light amusement; then the flying run of the wagon in answer to the call, the arrest and return to the station are given with equal attention to-vcrsimilitude. These incidents and scenes are not advantitiously dragged in, nor are they exaggerated. They are a natural part and parcel of the story, and are given .simply as necessary concom itants to the elucidation of the plot. The scenery Is said to be the most superb pre sented on any stage in Pittsburg since the last visit here of "The Crystal Slipper." The. acting company is one of particular strength, and with such names as those which follow carefully studious and artistic production is assured: Tho artists are Mr. "Clarence Handy side, Miss Alice Fischer,Mr. P. August An derson, Miss Mittens Wlllett, Mr. Luke m III Kill T . .. "N . V mWiJ 1 II I Schoolcraft, Miss Blanche Seymour, Mr. Louis Carpenter, Miss Blanche Boyer, Mr. Arthur Sprague. Mr. Gigure and Mr. Thoo- dore Hanul 111! Grand Opera House. Miss Fanny Davenport will produce Vic torien Sardou's "Cleopatra" at the Grand Opera House this week. We may be" sure that these performances will not escape pub lic attention. The enterprise has been lib erally advertised ever since its inception, many months ago. Miss Davonport'a produc tion of the play In New Tork and Boston has been described and commented upon by all the newspapers, so that we ought to know J ust what to expect. Miss Davenport is well liked by the public.for she llasnever slighted it. Her zeal never fags. She will produce this now French piece with the most mag nificent scenery yet seen on the stage, and the stage pictures are said to be finer than those exhibited at the Porte St. Martin, Paris. The stage will be crowded with men and women in handsome dress. The acting will be done principally by Miss Davenport in the titlo role, with Melbourne MacDowell as Mark Antony. , This "Cleopatra" was written by Victorien Sardou, and It Is fair to say that a very interesting performance may bo expected, no matter whether the Cleo patra of Miss Davenport comes up to our lueai or 10 snaKespeares conception 01 me greatest charmer of all time. Harry Williams' Academy. The Fay Foster English Gaiety Company promises to bring a lot of mirth and beauty to town this week. The Cincinnati In quirer said last week otthis company: "The 'curtain-raiser,' 'Our Pleasure Party,' serves to introduce a number of pretty girls, hand some costumes and new and taking songs. The boy wonder, as Master Guy Henry is termed, in witty sayings brought down the house. William J. O'Brien, In a new and original musical act, caught the audience. Miss Pauline Batcheller sang herself into popular favor. Colton and Wlnchell, In 'a neat comedy sketch, were encored time and again. Hanloy and Jarvis, in a knock-about act, were as reckless as any of them. Van 0I4, in feats of jugglery, ended the olio. 'Dear Minnie,' a very funny burlesque, con cluded the performance." Gilmore's Concert. Once more Gilmore's Band will be heard In this city; it Is announced for Wednesday afternoon and evening at the Mechanical Hall. Gilmore's brilliant and attractive pro grammes are played with a swing and a spirit that sets everybody's blrod tingling. There is a "go," an impalpable something which makes one concert so much more en joyable than another about them. The characteristic of Gilmore's conducting is one thing which has helped to make him so uni versally popular and successful; another is, he always surrounds himself with good peo ple. On this tour he has an unusual number of them. There are Campanini, the greatest tenor of them all, Mme. Xouise Xatall, Miss Ida Klein and Mile. Mantell, of operatio fame, Signors Spigaroli and Sartori, two European celebrities, and one of the most celebrated violinists of the day, Miss Maud Powell. Altogether this concert promises to be brilliant beyond any that the great bandmaster has yet given here, for he is to bo assisted by the May Festival chorus led by Carl Better. Harry Dans' Museum. For the coming week novelty will reign at Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum. Angelo and his troup of trained birds will be one of the principal features. These are all cocka toos and macaws and other beautiful plumaged birds. Another novelty will be the introduction of the genuine Italian bees at work making honey in full view of the audience. Tho celebrated Hindoo Juggler, Valencia, Big Hattie, Colonel Pickett Nelson and Princess Nora complete the list of at tractions in curio nail, xn toe meaionum there will appear Edward Foster and Isabel Rousseau in their musical farce comedies, Weeks and Westhoff, Moore andHolmes, the great Beatria and several others. World's Museum Theater. The great feature oftheshowat this house this week will be Prof. Woodward's school of educated seals and seal lions, comprising musical seals, dancing seals and seals that can act. Mons. La Martine will upset com mon ideas of gravity and himself and skate on the ceiling of curio hall bead down ward. The popular Albinos, the Martin Sisters, will remain another week. In the theater the Keating-Ardell Variety Company Trill wrfflmi iv liiT-erft nTif? ftniiieiniT' t &2r&&L&e" lcretion to Change seum. Harris' Theater. s The Irish musical comedy, "Irish Luck," Is Harris, Britton & Dean's attraction for this week. Mr. Clem C. Mageo Is well known to a Pittsburg audience, as he has appeared here on a great many occasions. He Is original andlns songs and sayings are fresh and tak ing. Miss Nellie Parker is one of tho leading singing soubrettes of the country, and can also act In a style calculated to win oceans of npplause. Tho others in the company are clever specialty people, so a pleasing per formance should result. Stage "Whispers. It will cost Sara Bernhardt about $1,000 to get her dogs to Australia. "The Uttxe EECBurr,"a new military play, will be seen at the Bijou in June. Hose Cogillan is preparing for the produc tion of her brother's new play, "The Gray Mare." Texre aro to be eight comla opera com panies in New York this summer, and Pitts burg may have one. Richaito Maksfieij) denies emphatically that he is to marry Beatrice Cameron. Why so much emphasis? Mas. Lasgtby has closed tho London Prin cess' Theater, and has signed to appear in Aug. Harris revival of "Formosa" at the Drury Lane. Viola Axles will originate the leading part in "T. Pickering Pick," the new piece that Mrs. Bowers will shortly produce ex perimentally. Miska Gale, who is to be one of next sea son's stars, has secured from the widow of Lawrence Barrett Oscar Wilde's tragedy, "Guido FerrantL" Edwakd Solomon and D'Oyly Carte have quarreled about the terms of tho new opera for tho London Savoy Theater, and its pro duction has been deterred. "Waso" andDe Wolf Hopper are packing the Broadway Theater. Manager Ben Stevens has already commenced prepara tions to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth performance. Bichaed Maksfield will' next week pro duce his "Don Juan," which no says Is orig inal, although indebted for much of it to Moliere and Merimee, to Lord Byron and Dumas pere. Mr. Mansfield will himself appear as Don Juan de Marana. "Tke Clemesceau Case" will follow the "Midnight Alarm" at the Bijou. Columns have been written about the book and the plav. and Pittsbnre will have a chance to Judge it. It is promised that the play be presented by the original New York will :cast, with Sibyl Johnstone as Iza. OxEof the realistic scenes in "The Struggle of Life" in which Frederic Paulding is to star next season will show St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth avenue, New York. There will be a chorus of 25 selected singers ac companied by a grand organ. The solos are to bo sung by a popular prima donna. Bichard Marston, of Palmer's Theater, is painting the scene. Stuabt Robeos's season at the Union Square Theater ends May 30, when tho great comedian will at once Join his grandchil dren at Cohasset. Next season he will re vive "She Stoops to Conquer" and probably stage Buckstonc's old comedy "Married Lile." "Is Marriage a Failure?" will be given instead of "The Henrietta" in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. Shaeespeake's birthday passed by in Lon don unnoticed, except that Dr. Bridge, the organist of the Abbey, lectured In the even ing on the mnslc applicable to the plays; while some one performedtra Shylock's wry necked fife, upon a Cleopatra flute recently found In the wraps of a mummy, and a chorister charmingly sang one of Shake speare's Elizabethan melodies. A valuable mastiff owned by Marie Waln wright, and which had been the companion of her daughter, who is attending school at Norwalk, Conn., died May 5 of acute bron chitis. It was placed in a handsome casket and buried in the afternoon of the 6th under an old apple tree on the school grounds. IT was the pet of the pupils, and they followed the casket to the grave, which they strewed with flowers. . Makoaret Mather and Otis Skinner sailed for England May 7. Miss Mather's' trip is purely on business, which chiefly concerns the purchase of a new spectacular drama by a French author. Twenty-four hours before she sailed Miss Mather made a very impor tant engagement. Joseph J. Levy, who was Lawrence Barrett's lieutenant and faithful agent for a great many years, contracted to manage Mis Mather's tour next season. Miss Mather intends to add "Medea," and a little new- comedy to her repertory as a double bill. Mrs. James Bbowit Potter and Kyrle Bel low are returning to England from their Ori ental trip, it is believed, much richer than they started. They met with great success in Australia and India. At the Nlzem's special request they visited Hyderabad, re ceiving a few of $10,000 for a few recitations and excerpts from "Hamlet." "The School for Scandal" and "Borneo and Juliet." Mb, David Hesdersok Is now at the Chicago Opera Houso busily engaged In rehearsing tho 160 people who will have part In the pro duction of this season's magnificent summer spectacle. The title of the piece to be pre sented early In June is "Sinbad, or the Maid ofBalsora," and it will be presented with a degree of magnificence whloh even the Opera Houso productions have never yet attained. "Sinbad" will be seen at the Duquesne for two weeks next season. According to the Mirror this is the latest style of announcement of a theatrical de parture for Europe: "Mrs. Wayoffe and her manager, Mr. Tobasco, sailed fy .London three weeks ago on business of importance. Mr. Tobasco shared his cabin with the well known author, Asterisk Swelledhead, while Mrs. Wayoffe was accompanied by her two aunts, a Siberian bloodhound, a canary and a pet Kitten, xne party win return wiiuin ten days at the outside, when they will ex plain Just why they went without saying goodbye." The scheme for the London Sunday thea ater, which Is the pet project of Justin Huntley McCarthy, M. P., Is assuming a more definite shape. It has Just been pro Toosed that In order to start It the use of the theater of the Lyrio Club should bo obtained. Tiio performances will in no wise intenere with churchgoing, because it Is not intended that they shall commence earlier than 9 o'clock, and it is very likely that it will be even later before tho curtain is rung np. The pieces will be of a high class character, and in general it may be said tho scheme will be worked out on the same lines as Mr. Greln has laid out for his Independent The ater, which has created so much talk since It started, a short time ago, with Ibsen as the first author. The following are the season's bookings at the BUou Theater "The Hustler," "Devil's Auction," -"Shenandoah," Margaret Mather, "Bottom of tho Sea," "Still Alarm," "Natural Gas," "Limited Mall," Chas. A. Gardner, "Twelve Temptations," Maggie Mitchell, in her new play "Lady Tom;" "Mr. Potter of Texas," Charles T. Ellis, In his new play; Bobby Gaylor.in the new farce-comedy 'Sport;" "Mr. AUister," White Slave," De nou stopper upera uompany in "Wang," Robert Mantell, -"The Oc toroon," "Yon Yonson," Hallen and Hart, "A High Roller,17 Oliver Byron, "Power of the Press," "Aunt Bridget's Baby," "Niobe," and Bolossy Kiralfy's new spectacular proauction. Lovely Marie Walnwright says she means to spend $25,000 on mounting "Amy Eobsart," the play 'Adelaide Nellson made famous, and adds as to her plans for next season: "I have engaged Henry Miller to play the Earl, of Leicester. I consider Mr. Miller to bo thebest Jeune premier on the American stage, and I am happy to feature him In the cast. Blanche Walsh will remain with me. She will Impersonate Queen Elizabeth. Miss W vlsh is only IS years old, but the quality of her voice is rare and her acting is such that I believe her to be the most promising of the young actresses. Barton Hill is to be the Varney, and a right goodi heavy villain he will be. The revels or 'Kenllworth,' from which 'Amy Bobsart' was dramatized, will be faithfully depicted in the play." Tux announcement that Mrs. Agnes Booth- Schoeffel will part company with A. M. Palmer and the Madison Square Theater Company at the close of the present season Is coupled with the more interesting state ment by her husband that after a summer at Manchester, Mass., she will, for the first time In her life, visit Europe. Paris will be her destination. It is not her intention to make the trip professionally, but she will proDaoiy appear witn a w en-Known jrrencn comedian in "The Silent System." Mrs. Booth-Schoeffel has been studying French assiduously. On her return to this country sho will probably play under the manage ment of Abbey, Schoeffel and Gmu. The first play sho will produce will be "La Dame au ChaUant," the new tragedy by the Italian author, Graclosa, which Bernhardt will pro duce first In Australia. HOW CHAWLET CATOHT COLD. His "Winter Necktie; SI. Qnad In Neir York "World. Sunday afternoon a young man who had been walking tip Fifty-eighth street with the assistance of a companion suddenly lim bered up in the legs and sank to the walk. Everyone in the crowd which gathered thought it a case of drunkenness, but the companion explained: "Poor fellah! I warned him against It, but he would do it I I'm afraid it'll go hard with him." "Isn't he paralyzed with whisky or beer?" queried a man in the crowd. "Of course not!" was the indignant re ply. "He changed his necktie to go with me to the Park, and the thermometer hay ing fallen one degree, he has become chilled through. Poor fellah poor Chawley I He should not have taken such a risk- at this unsettled season of the year 1" THE DRAFT OF WAG0HS. Some Peculiar Pacts That Suggest Very Important Improvements. There is a decided opportunity for im provement in wagons. A load on the reas wheels draws 10 per cent easier than when placed on the front wheels. That is one thing worth knowing. Here is another: "When the reach or coupling between the front and rear wheels is exactly horizontal the wagon draws easiest. The incline 3f the reach toward the front wheels, as it is now almost universally put in, makes the wagon draw harder than it should. A wagon reversed and pulled rear end foremost draws 5 per cent easier. The lesson from this js that the 'front wheels should be as large as those in the rear. A Square Meal. Tale Record. A small goat ate a tomato can And then eight poundi of nails, He finished his meal, by way of dessert, By consuming four large fence rails.

How a Michigan Man Sizes Up the Contest for the Presidency. It is no secret in Michigan among General Alger's intimates that he is a candidate for the Eepublican nomination for President in 1892, says Dr. H. O. "Walker, of Detroit. Alger is popular in Michigan with all classes and conditions of men Democrats as well as Republicans. He is a splendid fellow every inch a man and a gentleman. He. is not exactly of my politics, but I like him, and if nominated I believe he would run like a ghost "We think pretty well, too, of Dan M. Dickinson up our way, but should Alger get the nomination it seems to me that the Democrats will be forced to select some man who can divide the soldier vote. There will be some" difficulty in find ing one that can do it. I have had some experience in politics, and my impression is that the fight in 1892 will be a very close and hard struggle, which, before it is ended, may give our in stitutions another as hard a wrench as that which occurred in" 1876-1877, when the con test was between Hayes and Tilden.
