the play. The scenic effects in the play are
really one of its best features. Ono act of
the play Is the Paik Place elevated railroad
station In New York City. Tark Place is in
the very heart of the great metropolis, and
there is scarcely another spot in the world
that presents a picture so animated or
affords a view of so many phases of human
life. The east side of the Park Place station
is shown with an illuminated view
of the Now York postofflco and the
famous towering newspaper buildings.
Tho story told in the play is ono that
interest tho audience from beginning to
end Miss Kate Bv ron in her impersonation
ot Widow Clover, it will bo rememoered,
gives us a fair type of the Dublin gentle
womanhandsome, refined, eccentrlc.gcner
ous to a fault, excitnble but courageous. She
isalwavsdioll. The plot is interesting. The
Plunger, Oliver Byron, becomes an amateur
detectlv e in order to extricate his friend,
Walter Glyndon, from the meshes of the law.
Glymion is falsely accused ot forgery and
sentenced to a term of Imprisonment, How
ever, tho Ptvnqcr finally traps the bona fide
forger and murdeier with his several ac
complices, and all ends happily. Glyndon
gets the girl of his choice aud the Plunger
hypnotizes the widow into taking him lor
ueiter, jor worse, ai tne toaturany maiinee
and night the ever popular play "Across the
Continent" will be given.
It is singular that such a very thin and fiat
mess as "The High Roller" should have ever
got upon the stage. Thanks to some pretty
women, who can dance, and to one or two
clev er comedians, who can act, tho perform
ance comes up to the average of farce com
edy in some degree, hut It cannot live. In
the very hot weather the more trifling a
show is the better it seems to go, and that
accounts for the lenient treatment "The
Huh Roller" has received in Pittsburg.
John D Gilbcrtand Lottie Mortimer saved
' The High Rollor" Irom the rocks.
The first comic opera of the season will be
6een at the Duqucsno Theater this week,
which is tho first week also of tho regular
season at this theater. W. T. Caileton's
Opera Company w ill give "Indigo," a comlo
opera by btrauss, which has been recently
plaj cd at the Casino, New York, and also by
the Caileton company in Baltimore. It a
pi omiscd that "Indigo" will show us some
music of the light, tuneful order that has
made Strauss belov ed of dancers the world
over. Some waltz choiuses have been es
pecinllv lauded elsew here. As tor the
libretto, F. C. Burnand, the editor of the
London Punch, wrote it, and Mr. Carleton.it
is said, has impiovcd upon the English ver
sion, and has taken pains to relieve it of
suggestlv e or vulgar jests.
'Ihepaitsare all in the hands of compe
tent artists who me well known in Pitts
burg, including J. K. Murray, Clara Lane,
Alico Vincent, Clara Nisdom, Marion Lang
don, W. H Fitzgerald, Charles A. Bigelow
and Fied Huntley. The sceneiy for the pro
duction of "Inuigo" is entirely new and
magnificent in detail. The costumes ate
a'so new and of gorgeous patterns. The or
chestra and chorus have been enlarged and
everything is in readiness for a smooth pio
duction. There are two society leaders in Carleton's
company who take tho parts of Dudlna and
2 Wyxi respectively. MissMnnie Washburn,
ol New York, whose debut in tights nt Balti
more last week shook the social world from
center to circumference, was brought up In
the belief that she wns sole heiress to $2,000,
000 She was educated accordingly, and
lived in marnificent style ac Montclalr, K.
J. Not quite one year ago her father lost
every cent of his vast fortune and the cold
truth stated this petted dnrling of society in
tho lace that she must either work for her
living oi starve. She took the former
couise, and, with the aid of a good voice, se
cured an engagement with the Carluton
company.
Mi. Cronyn, who?e stage name is Dorothy
Downing, held social sw av m Bnflalo for sev
eral seasons, but she had some difficulty
with hor husband aud Joined the Carleton
company. Sue, too, has received many so
cial attentions since her debut.
There has been a good deal of talk about
the uni Igh teousness of making the martryed
Lincoln the subject of a drama, but I con
fess that I cannot seo why dramatists should
be denied tho use of the grandest figure in
American hlstoiy. The play ought to bo
w orthy of fie subject.of course, but in itself
the embodiment of the chief events in
Lincoln's life in a play need not be oQensive
to a soul. Nor Is it clear why some critics
insist that John Wilkes Booth cannot be
represented on the stage without insulting
his great hi other, tho actor. So that
"Abraham Lincoln" the drama byAichibald
Goidon and Mckoe ltankin, which comes
to the Grand Opera House this week is en
titled to as favorable u heaiing as any other
histoucal plav, and to he Judged un
der tho same mles. It is said
to be a realistic picture of tho
most dramatic episodes in Lincoln's career,
naturally finding a climax in the assusina
tiou. Other strong scenes are said to be tho
signing of the declaration of emancipation,
the trigic end ot Booth, and the inaugura
tion ot Lincoln, which offers an onpoitunity
foragreatmilitaty pageant. In tho cast,
which by tho wav , presents a dozen or more
of the pi incipal figures in the national his
tory oi lSul-3, ai u sev ersil good actors nota
bly Mvi on Lcfflngw e'l, w ho plaj s Booth, and
Elnioi Giandin as Lircoln The iifnkc-up of
tho lattei Is s ud to bo wonderfully true to
tho great oiigmu;l.
The Improvement of orchestral muslo is
attracting a good deal of attention just now,
and it is high time. The other night in Chi
cago on the occasion of the production of
"The Leavenworth Case," at the Grand
Opera House, the bad judgment displayed
in the selection of tho music, and the poor
peifonnnnce of It, jeopardized soveral
strong and intense situations. How often
the samo thing has been noted hoi o. Our
orchestras here aro fully up to the average,
but they can bo Impioved, and ought to be.
In this connection it is but right to lecog
nize the good work Mi.Habirkoin Is doing
wi:li his orchestra nt the Duquesne. His se
lections have been marked invariably by
good taste, and his own instrumental sk'lll is
hirgely to be credited with the artistic re
sults. A dramatic novelty of considerable Inter
est is tho society comedy drama The Mer
chant," which will be given its first Pitts
burg production to morrow night at the new
Alvin Theater. The play comes hlgnly ln
dorstd by two metropolitan critics, for on
Its first production at tho Madison Square
Theater early this summer it was gonerally
conceded to be one ot tb few rlouly
worthy plT t the year and oo of the
most Ingenious and Interesting of the sea
son's productions. The story told by the
play Is said to be a transcript from tho
pages of cvory-day life, and in an unobtru
sive wav points an impressive moral teach
ing a wholesome lesson and striking at one
of the salient evils of the day the money
getting craze. Its characters are real per
sonages and Its story one that although fa
miliar nevor loses its interest. It is said to
be pai ticularly strong In natural and effec
tive dialogue, Interesting and amusing in
Its comedy, and at no time Is the charm of
the story strained by a departure
from the ordinary course of humanity,
rlt comes under the classification of a
society play dealing with contemporaneous
topics and events, touches the lives and
actions of men and women of to-day, and
interests that the beholder knows exist.
The evils of Ihe modern rush and reckless
ness in business arehcld up. to vlewnnd the
curse of tho money fever, the phantom of
speculation, the reckless course of living
such a Ufo entails, the dangers that beset
Wall street, the anguish and agony that fol
low on ruin and the breaking up of a home
Is the central idea of the play, and all pre
sented in a simple, natural and effective
manner.
The plav Is said to present nothing new
in dramatic-ethics, being built simply on
truth. Nothing falls down or explodes,
noth ng runs off the track; there is no buzz
saw, real engines or tanks, and yet the mer
chant presents a story of real life. It Is
American in theme and from tho pen of
3Iartha Morton, a New York girl, who was
fortnnate in having her second at
tempt at playwriting win tho pn?e
offered by a New York newspaper,
and thus early In her caroor has been more
successful than any female dramatist. The
east includes these actors; Mr. John Glcn
dinnlng, Mr. Cnyler Hastings, Mr. Frank B.
Hatch, Mr. Edward Poland, Mr. Eugene
Sanger. Mr. W. B Murray, Mr. J. H. Ferris,
Mr. G. W. Pike, Mr. R.'C. Gilbert, Mr. J.
Flood, Mr. Colin Varry, Maida Craigan,
Carrie Radcllffe, Anna Cowell, Marie Dantes.
Manager Davi is entitled to the very
highest praise for the theater; it is beyond
everything that Fittsburgers expected. It
will be some days, or perhaps weeks, before
the house is quite what Mr. Davis Intends it
shall be.
By tho way, In the matter of acoustics In
the new house, Mr. Davis had better urge
actors to test their voices in tho theater on
tho first nights. Last week several members
of Miss Hall's company failed to make them
selves heard ten rows n.wnv from thestatre.
There seems to bo a point in the parquet
me last row irom wnicn ic lspaiticuiariy
hard to hear, but It may have been the lack
of force In the actors' voices that gave me
this Impression. It Is worth Mr. Davis'
while to inquire into this.
There Is somothing about the name Tony
Pastor that brings balm to the soul of the
lover of variety shows, and It Is safe to say
that there Is no more popular attraction
than Tonv Pastor's company, which comes
to Harry Williams' Academy this week. Mr.
Pastor himself heads the cohort, and his
songs arc snld to be new and telling. Tho
only Maggie Cllne as usual is to the front
w ith a bouquet of her on n peculiar ballads.
Some of tho others nro: The Schallers, gro
tesque acrobats; the Le Blanche sisters,
who dance and sing; the transatlantic come
dian, John E. Drew, and Conroy and Fox,
with Irish songs and dances.
Managers here should be careful to avoid
the mistake of lithographing too freely. The
lithograph and free pass system has been
overworked in Pittsburg of late, with the
consequence that a decided disinclination
to paying for seats is becoming general.
If managers but knew it, tho money they in
vest directly in lithographs and indirectly
in passes is the most wasteful system of ad
vertising imaginable. The same money pnt
into advertisements In good newspapers
would bnngas quick leturns without mak
ing a large part of the community pro
fessional deadheads at the theater.
The popularity of the World's Museum
Theater Is not to be wondered at when the
entertainments presented each week are
taken into consideration. The coming week
will bo no exception to this rule, as the man
agement have engaged Carl Brehm's well
know n company to produce that ever popu
lar drama, "Ten Nights in a Barroom."
This company has made quite a reputation
in this particular drama, making, in fact, a
specialty of pioducing it every night and
being engaged by Mr. Brehm for their fit
ness in each pirticular part. All the
beautiful tableaux, scenery, etc , Incidental
to the plav aro new this season. A hnnd
somelv uniformed brass band travels w ith
tho company and will gtvo open air concerts
In fi ont of the "World's" every evening dur
ing tho week In the curio hall that famous
Japanese Juggler, late of Cleveland's Min
strels, Ando MitikikJ, will be seen, and Pror.
Charles Smith and his wonderfully educated
goat, a truly remarkable animal, as well as
many other attractions, and tho specialty
performance, which is always given on
bljon stage In the curio hall, makes, all com
bined, a bic list of first class attractions for
such a smau sum as iu cents.
A cableg ram to The Dispatch from Lon
don last night says: Lord Tennyson, the
Toot Laureate, has jnst completed the first
work he has ever w ritten for the stage, and
Angustln Daly has secured Its exclusive
acting rights. The Poet Lanreato's play is a
three-act comedy, with parts specially de
signed for Ada Rohnn, John Drew and
Jnnu s Lewis. It w ill not be printed until
niter it has received its flist pnblic repre
sentation.whlch will take place in Now York
during the coming winter. Augustin Daly
and Ada Rohan visited Lord Tennyson's
house, Aldworth, near Ilnslemere, Sunoy,
on Thursday last After lunch Lord Tenny
son read some of the most effective passages
of his comedy to his two guests, especially
dwelling np those designed for Miss Rehan,
who was delighted with her parj.
Notwithstanding the warm weather of the
past week and tho number of oounter at
tractions, Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Mu
seum Theater has had large audiences. For
this week the Bijou Quartet, an organiza
tion that has created a furore In London and
New York has been specially engaged. Ihe
Fitzsimmons cell. brs, steol saws, photo
graphs, letters, furniture, etc , will bo on
view, with Colonel Cooper, the Moot giant,
Jerome, the contortionist, and four or flv o
other clever aitlsts. In the theater an hour
of fun and innate is airnnged nnder the aus
pices of Frazier and Bunnell's Olympians.
The companj comprises a number of well
known singers, dancers, acrobats, Jugglers,
otc Tho free concerts by tho Hungarian
Gipsy Band on the balcony every afternoon
and evening, aro a strong attraction.
At Harris Theater this week "Tho Hearts
of New York," a thrilling melodrama, will
be given. It is said to be full of sensations
and scenic wonders, as well as other good
things.
Tho engagement of Miss Ellsler In "Hazel
Kirko" nt the Grand Opeia House was an
artistic and a financial success, and the lat
ter result Is wonderful considering the hot
weathor. - Mr. Conldock's admirable work
was grcatlv appreciated.
The new ptays of the week produced in
New York do not count In their number any
remarkable snecess. A correspondent
writes "Nero," an Italian drama In five
acts', by Cossa and Gczolottl and worded
Into English for Richard Mansfield by T.
Russell Sullivan, was produced at the Gai
den Theater on Monday before a small nn
dience. Tne play is consistent, dignified
nnd on tho whole well written. Mi. Mans
field's Nero is the Jaded, vicious, callous,
cowardlv Cajsar handed down by history to
ignoniinv a Ctesar whose bestial instincts
have been Mited with lustful caprice, whose
loves aie sensual nud tigerish, his only re
deeming quality being the love ot art. Mr.
Mansfield's make up was i.s horrible as it
was incoirect, his acting moused no enthu
siasm and the peifoimance was not entei
taming Bill Nve's comedy "The Cadi," in which
Thomas Q Seabrooko, who played here w ith
DeWolf Hopper last season, has begnn star

The repot t that Gilbert and Sullivan will

gagement In St. Louis last week, started for
San Francisco with three cars and 70 people.
"Slnbad" Is said to be the greatest spectacu
lar production known to tho American
stage.
Does 3Ir. Fitzgerald, of the Carleton Opera
Company, remembor the amusing but ex
pensive summer season of comic opera, ho
managed at the Bijou Theater a many years
ago? It was a courageous effort and a light
hearted one, but costlj !
A telegram from New York says that
Charles E Locke, tho operatic manager, has
been arrested by the Sheriff npon an order
issued by Judge Ingraham, of theSnpreme
Court, in a suit by Emanuel C Hcdmont, an
opera singer, to recover $1,200.
Maxagxr Allex J. Sbeodoit will probably
produce Anna Katharine Green's dramatiz
ation of her novel, "TheLeavenworth Case,"
at the New York Union Sqnare Theater dur
ing next month. Mr. Joseph Haworth has
added the plav to his Tepertolre, having
made a great hit in it at Chicago.
"Hoss ai.d Hoss," Collier & Reed' new
piece, is a departure Is some respects from
other faice comedies, in that there is not a
pair of black stockings In sieht or a short
dress used in tho piece. The costumes are
all modern and natural, thongh of course
pretty or peculiar, as the case may be, but
no burlesque about them.
Harry Askin has just booked a six weeks'
engagement nt the Princess Theater, Lon
don, following Alabama November 2, 1S02. It
is his intention to take his entire company,
principals and cnorns, and will produce the
"Tar and Taitar,"and the new opera by
Sj dney Jtosenfold and Adnm Itzel, which
will receive its Initial production at Palmer's
Theater next summer.

dancing blacksmiths, aro a strong team,
while the march of the Rod Hussars makes
a gi eat hit.
Frederick Waede, in Henry Guy Carle-
ton's great romantic play, "The Lion's
Mouth," is the next attraction at the Grand
Opera House. It is one of tho strongest of
tho old heroic plays yet penned by a New
World writer. It is a storv of intrigue,
masks, revolution, youth, gaiety and love
that winds off its i Oman tic coils to a satis
factory termination He will also be seen
during the w eek in "The Mountebank," "Vir
glnlus and Richard."
HtnsTiso's new railroad shows will ex
hibit in Allegheny City on September 28 and
29 at Woods' Run. The show Is entirely new
this season, and much larger and better
than ever. New acts, new faces, new ward
robe, new canvas, new horses, new cars and
Is said to be the best show on earth for the
prico of admission. The company is under
the personal supervision of Mr. Hunting.
The attractions presented are first-class in
every respect. Two performances dally,
afternoon and evening.
The following Is a verse of R. E. Graham's
new topical song, "It Were Better Not to
Know," which he sings with groat snecess
in "The Little Tycoon:"
You may meet a lovely maiden
In this tickle world of oiira
Who Is charming In her own bewitching way.
She plays the very deuce with every
Slnjtle man she meets.
And societv will think her rather gayt
Perhaps you tall in love with her.
And write her billet doux.
Then wisely think no farther you win fo.
She sues for breach of promise,
Aud ou say such artful girls.
It were better it were better not to know.
Blakely Hall writes: Burr Mcintosh was
the first actor of prominence in New York
to produce a caricature of a Southern gen
tleman which was true to Hie and In no
sense offenslvo. His efforts in "John Need
ham's Double," at Palmer's Theater last
year, when he played the part of a Southern
Colonel, attracted altogether an unusual
amount of attention, considering the
brevity of the part. In "Alabama" he in
creased his prestige in this line of w ork, and
made so happy an impression that Mr.
Palmer engaged him for the .Southern tour
of the "Alabama" Company. It will bo in
teresting to note whether the people of the
South take kindly to Mr. Mcintosh's capable
and amiable bit of caricature.
GOSSIP OF THE GUARD.
Coloxel Walter Greexlaitd, Quartermas
ter General of the National Guard, spent a
few days in Pittsburg last week.
Assistant Scrqeos W. F. Robeson, of the
staff of the Eighteenth Regiment, left last
Friday for a week's visit to his home in the
eastern portion of the State.
The Adjutant General's office has now on
hand enough McKeevcr cartr dge boxes,
bayonet scabbards, rubber blankets and
haversacks to fit out all the companies In
the Guaid which have not already drawn
them.
Sutemnteitdext Quay, of the Morgan za
Reform School, has decided that the manual
of arms and afew movements from Upton
would be an interesting addition to the rou
tine of wors: nt the institution, and has made
arrangements with an officer of one of the
local companies to take the matter in
charge.
Captaiw Hexry ScrrwrDT, of the Fourteenth
Regiment, who has been sojourn
ing in Europe for the past three months, is
expected back in the city to-morrow even
ing. The members of Company A aro or
dered to assemble at tho armory at 6.C0
sharp to proceed to the depot to meet the
Captain.
Trre members of the Washington Infantry
are making active preparations for the. an
nual field day of the organization, which
takes place on October 6 at Manor station.
A number of recruits have beon enlisted
lately in the company, and Captain Shannon
expects snortiy to nave uiu runra entirely
filled up.
Captaiit Awr, of Company F, Eighteenth
Regiment, is making arrangements to take
his company on the rifle range at Coleman,
nnd camp ont for three or four days for the
purpose of rifle practice. The companies of
this regiment have started to work on the
range, and it is expected that almost every
man in the organization will try his ability
during the next two weeks. The time left
for qualifying is quite short, nnd advantage
should bo taken of tho good weather.
The new blanks for quarterly reports in
detail of the condition of companies and
regiments were sent out fiom the Adjutant
General's office last week. Some time ago
General McClelland came to tho conclusion
that his office had entirely too littlo infor
mation as to the workings down the line,
with the exception of tho annual reports,
and as a consequence he set to work to rem
edy the matter. Hercntter each company
commander must file a report quarterly of
the exacD standing of his organization and a
comparison with the work done in the pre
ions quirtcr. Anoticenble feature of the
new repoi ts is a column for dropped mem
bers of the guard. Although the custom of
dropping members from tne rolls has beon
an old practice in many companies the sub
ject was never ofllcially recognized until the
now reports were issued.
Aa interesting event in the Second Brigade
will be the encampment of the Slxteonth
Regiment at TitusvlIIe on October 15, 1G and
37. Ever since becoming commander of that
organization Colonel Hillings has been de
sirous of having regimental drills oftener
than tho annual encampments, and nt last
ho has accomplished his purpose. The en

both company and individual for trophies,
will also be indulged in and altogether tho
time has been laid out in a profitable and
pleasant manner. Colonel Hillings expect
to have ISO men In the field.
The report was circulated quite exten
sively during the past week, particularly In
the eastern portion of the State, that tho de
cision had been revoked by tho powers at
Hurisburg to disband tho entire Third
Regiment of Philadelphia. The rumor went
so inras to auuounie that the four compan

battalion of the state Fencihles, making
that oiiranization an eight company regi

In the Third Rezlment, beforo and since
the defeat of Colonel Boraffon and the
the inauguration of Colonel Smith's
regime, and discussion has been rife for
some time as to tho probable outcome of the
matter. Inspector General McKlbben when
spoken to on the subject yesterday, said
tnat he had not heard ot any such step being
contemplated iu the Adjutant General's
office, und that the report was probably
