THE " PITTSBTTRG- 'DISPATCH, 'SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15,- 1891-
i JrMA if VSAr?
Iiootlnj; backward over the week it re
minds one of nothing less than a chrysan
themum garden. We have been marrying
in chrysanthemums, calling on chrysanthe
mums, buying chrysanthemums and doing
everything but eating chrysanthemums.
I have learned one thing since I have
been brought into intimate relations
'with this Japanese beauty, and
that is that in one respect they are
entirely different from human beings. The
man or woman who grows very big in the
head is undoubtedly neither a useful nor"
ornamental member of society. 'With a
chrysanthemum it is totally different. At
the chrysanthcm im show, I believe, if
they could have uttered their thoughts,
there would have gone up one huge
cry of "measure me" that had rent
that bower-like ceiling to the four
winds of heaven. As It was every
cincle blosson held its head in the best
position for showing off its diameter. A
swell-headed man or woman is a nuisance,
but a swell-headed chrysanthemum, well,
we take the swell out of our purses trying
to buy them, in order to prove ourselves
Tery swell indeed.

National Guard Marksmanship.
Tex season of rifle practice in the National
Guard ended yesterday, and as a conse
quence captains of companies and regi
mental officers Interested In the totals of
successful marksmen feel considerable
relief that the woik in that department Is
over lor at least five months. Since the
qualification of at least 30 members of eaoh
company has become a requisite in Penn
sylvania, company commanders have been.
compelled to give this subject personal
attention, and bestow on It more
or less worry not before Indulged In.
Form partial reports viewed from various
parts or the State, the grand total of work
men will run above that of last year. In tho
Second Brigade most of the organizations
have increased the totals over last year,
particularly is such tho case in the Four
teenth Regiment and Battery B. In the
Eighteenth Regiment the number will be
somewhat below that of last year, and sev
eral of the companies havo not succeeded In
qualifying the requisite number of SO men.
This falling off waa due mostly to the fact
that the regiment was badly handicapped
by having no range untU early in Septem
ber. In Luck Certain.
After trying to sell books, pictures and
wringers, and nearly every contrivance im
aginable, I became discouraged and thought
there was no chance for a poor man to earn
a living. There was nothing to do on the
farm, and I could not get a job in town,
when I happened to see how a teacher
made money selling platers and thought I
would try my luck. I bought a 53 Light
ning Plater from H. F. Delno & Co., Co
lumbus, O., and from that day my luck
seemed to change. I carried the plater
from house to house and plated knives,
torks and spoons, right before the folks, and
it is surprising how many want their things
plated. I made 53 70 the first day, and in
one week $28. I can plate with nickel, sil
ver or gold. The work is fine, my custom
ers are pleased and I am happy. I hope
some other fellow, who is down on his luck,
will see this and do as I have done and get
up in the world. William Evans.

The above are the theatrical attractions
for this week.
Music and opera will compete at three
theaters this week. Juch at the Grand
Opera House, Hopper at the Bijou and
L'AlIemand at the Duquesne, are tne several
exponents of various forms of opera, from
the grand to the ridiculous. "Jane," a light
comedy, will be seen at the Alvin Theater.
The other houses suddIv light forms of en
tertainment.
The ps,st week revealed nothing new at
the theaters except young J. K. Emmet.
The verdict upon him Is generally that of
The Dispatch last Tuesday. Mr. Emuiett Is
a graceful, good-looking young fellow, a talr
actor, but not a comedian. His father's
peculiar magnetlo qualities he lacks,
although he is as pleasant a fellow as one
may meet in many days.
One of the few cheerful things fall brings
to Pittsburg Is DeWolf'HoDDer in comic
opera. There is nothing suggestive of death
or decaj about him, but he usually comes
here In November. This year he brings
with him an operatic burletta, so-called,
which really made a hit in New Tork In mid
summer, n pretty big thing to do. It Is
called "Wang," and Is by J. Cheever Good
win and Woolson Morse. De Wolf Hopper is
always welcome in Pittsburg, but I guess
even his most fervent admirers would
rather see him in n clever piece, than snch a
disappointing hodge-podge as "Castles-In-tbe-Air"
nns last year. "Wang" is said by
really capable judges to be Just the thing
for Hopper and the clever people with him,
who inclmHTDella Fox, Jeannette St. Henry,
Anna O'Keere, Marian Singer, Agnes Reilev,
Samuel Reed, Alfred Elcin.Edmund Stanley,
Camm Mauvel and other artists of a like
standing in the ranks of comio opera. The
story of "Wang" sounds funny anyhow.
Here it Is: "Wang," the Rgent of Stam. is
nncle and guaidian of Mataya, the Crown
Prince, not yet of age, and who
Is far from amenable to his
uncle's rule. The Regent has for six years
been obliged to administer the functions of
his office, in a most poverty stricken state,
owing to the fact that the treasure of his
brother, the late King, Mataya's rather, has
never been discovered. The Regent dis
covers, through the Interception or a letter
Intended for the Crown Prince, that a
treasure chest Is in the custody of the
widow of the late French Consul, Gen
eral Frlmonsse, to whom It has been corf
flded by the heirapparent's father, to be de
livered to him when he attains his majority
and is crowned King. After a series of com
plications the chest is delivered to the Re
gent, but finally reaches Its rightful owner,
who, to partially console .his uncle, resigns
his right of succession to the throne.
The first performance In this city in
English of Pietro Mascagnl's opera, "Caval
leria Rusticana," will be given at the
Duquesne Theater Monday night by Rudolph
Aronson's Opera Company, from the New
Tork Casino. While In Europe last summer
Mr. Aronson purchased the orchestration
from the composer, and received from him
an insight into the hidden mysteries of the
peculiar hamonlzatlon that the score does
notovidence. It is promised that the pro
duction of the work here will in every In
stance resemble the one now running In
New Tork except in tho cast, and the names
of Pauline L'AlIemand as Bantuzza, Villa
Knox as Lola, Eva Davenport as Lucia,
Ferdinand Schuetz as Turridu, and Henry
Leonl as Alflo, are satisfactory. A grand
opera chorus of SO voices and an
orchestra of S3 musicians will assist In
the production. It will be preceded at
every performance by a one act opera
comtque by Fransvon Snpps entitled "The
Jolly Students." The first performance of
this opera in English was given in Philadel
phia on last Monday ovening b? Mr. Aron
son's company, an I it not only scored nn
Immediate success but served to bring into
prominence the well-known comedian Jef
teison de Angelis, who assumes a character
similar to that of Gaspard in the "Chimes of
Normandy." Themmicls said to be of the
rollicking order and verv catchy, and the
dialogue is crisp and full of comedy. Louise
Beaudet, Clara Caudray, Max Figman.Edcar
Smith, Charles Ren-wick and A. W. Maflin
also appear in this opera. The stage is
directed by Mar Freeman and the audience
Is under the conductorshin of Pan! Stin.
dorff. The only matinee wUl be given on
Saturday.
One of the most interesting events the
theatrical season will present Is the engage
ment of the Emma Juoh Grarfd Opera Com
pany at the "Grand," beginning Monday,
November 16. The repertoire is selected from
Wagner, Gounod. Verdi. Balfe and the young
ana now lamous Italian composer, Mascagni.
All the operas are sung entirely in English
and given with the same spectacular effects
and attention to detail for tho mlse-en-scene,
that have made the foreign companies so
successful during their metropolitan en
gagements. Miss Emma Juch is already too
well known to Pittsburg to need more
than a mere mention of her coming.
Slgnor Enrico Bevignani.the famous musical
conductor, of the Covent Garden Theater,
London is still with the company and did
not leave, as some of the newspapers erron
eously stated. SIg. Bevignani has won for
himself a host of admirers by hisaDle and
poetio interpretation of the musio of the
new opera "Cavalera Rusticana," being an
Italian and a personal friend and admirer of
tho composer. Miss Amanda Fabris, a
cousin of Miss Juch, who was one of ihe
leading prime donne of the famous Carl
Ros-a Opera Company, though she has prac
tically retired from the stage becanse of hes
recent marriage to Lord J. Fnrgussor
Davis (this is entre noa), is kindly
helping Miss Juch this season by singing the
roles on two nights of the v, eek, and so woh
is Miss Fabris executing her part of th
duties that she has been recognized by he0
audiences as one of the best soprano singerr
In America at the present time. Another
notable addition is the f. mous little ten or
late of the Pattl Opera Company, Mr. Albert
Guille. Still another and an old favorite
here.is William Mertlns. The other favor
ites are Miss Lizzie Macniohol, Miss Ger
trude May Stein. Sofia Roniani. A new
and valuable addition is Sig. Michelana, also
for seven years leading tenor with Emma
Abbott; Mr. Wil iam 8teobens, George
Gould. S. H Dudley, F. W. Colbv, and last
but by no means least, Mr. Franz Vetta.
The chorus and orchestra are said to be
strong.
It is a pity that "Jane" is described as a
farce comedy, for It is not a combination of
variety bnrlesque and comlo opera, as the
current farce comedy is. "Jane" is probably
best desoribed as a light or farcical comedy.
It had a successful New Tork run last sum
mer, and Manager Chailes Frohman has
given it a good cast, of whom I
am curious to sea how Miss John
stone Bennett has fulfilled the promise
of her earlier work with Mansfield. In the
cast, besides Miss Johnstone Bennett, are
Mr. Paul Arthur, so long leading supro.t to
Comedian Nat Goodwin; Mr. R. F. Cotton,
the well-known English comedian: Mr. M. C.
Daly, whose work with Annie Pixley in
"The Puritan's Daughter" causes him to be
favorably remembered by theatergoers;
Miss Amelia Summer ville, "the simple vil
lage maiden" with Dixey In "Adonis;" Miss
Elaine ElUon, tho charming girl who "Intro
duced everything" in Dixey's "Seven Ages;"
Miss Maggie Hallowav Fisher, a number of
years with Cora Tanner in "Alone In Lon
don;" E. Schultz Edwards, Herbert Fortlor
and Master Totten. Reliable Information
from Baltimore reports a most gracious re
ception lor the comedv there this week.
"Jane" will be preoeded Dy a curtain raiser
entitled '(The Better Part'
Kate Davis, who played an Irish washer
woman in one of Hoyt' farces and another
lowoomedy part in George Jenks' "U.S.
Kail," wil oouliarabl olsyssstt -,
made a wonderful hit, I see, in "Miss Hel
yett," in which she burlesques Spanish
songs and dances. "Mlsa Helyett," by' the
way, is likely to be a remarkable success. It
is something novel, not quite a comedy or a
comic opera; but a little of both. Mrs. Les
lie Carter, who surprised people
a year ago by steeping from a divorce
suit to a stage success with wonderful ease,
in the title rule has also added to her fame
as a comedienne possessed of finesse deli
cacy seldom round away from tho French
stage. The story or "Miss Helyett" Is de
cidedly Frenchy, even with the risky situa
tions invented by tho original author,
Boucheron, toned down by Belaseo. Audran
lurmsues me music ana is i o -
catchy and very light. Kate Davis' success
is the fulfilment of a prophecy made in
these columns three or four years ago, and
It is rather pleasant, I may confess ltnout
egotism, to see the metropolitan Journals
recognizing Miss Davis' ability as The Dis
patch did when she was comparltlvely un
known. The new scenery which has been put on
at the Duquesne Theater lately Is the work
of Albert Bender, and It Is really very good
woik. Mr. Benderhasunderwayanlnterior
that is said to be unique In design.
An anonymous correspondent informs Thb
Dispatch that the late J. K. Emmet and tne
editor of this paper were both so fortunate
as not to know him, the" nameless corre
spondent. The Information is reassuring
and In fact full compensation for the silly
abuse which accompanied it,
Joseph J. Dowling and Sadie Hasson will
present a couple of Interesting plays at Har
ris' Theater this week. On Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday "The Bed Spider,"
Thursday, Friday and Saturday "Nobody's
Claim." Both days will be staged in a su
perior stylo and a number of pleasing
specialties introduced. A trained donkey
and an educated horse will be used In the
production to give additional realism.
The Rentz-Santley Novelty Burlesque
Company is the standard attraction at Harry
WUllams' Academy this week. The perform
ance Is said to be up to the usnal mark, for
In the company are such people as Miss
Frances Wvatt, Miss Nettle Page, M'lle.Har
beck, Miss Lottie Elliott, Miss Nellie Harris,
Will C. Matthews. Whittey and Leonard,
William Harbeck, M'lle. Lucille and 20 other
artists.
The Austrian Juvenile Band has landed
In this country and Its first performances In
Boston seem to have settled the question of
Its merit in American ears, for the criticisms
are very favorable. Enthusiastic Manager
Blakely writes: "The llttlo children wno
make up this band are chUdren in years;
thev are giants as musicians. No band in
this" country is their equal." That's a pretty
big claim, but wo shall havo a chance to
Judge for ourselves shortly.
HETBCE3 JOSirS.
World's Mnsenm-Theater.
The attractiveness of Allegheny City's
only place of amnsement continues un
abated. The Museum-Theater has been
crowded during the past week, Electrabeing
the principal magnet. An unusually strong
and eminently meritorious list of attractions
will be presented to their patrons by the en
terprising managers this week. Prof. Mat
thews' Troupe of Acting Goats. tn In num
ber, will be one of the attractions. Prof.
Matthews has Just returned from a tour of
Europe, where he has been entertaining
kings, princes, dukes, earls, etc., with his
wonderful goat comedians, acrobats, danc
ers, ranslcians, etc. Some of the feats per
formed by these goats are said to.be aston
ishing. This Is their first appearance here.
R chards, the great English lightning cari
caturist, who has a reputation tor painting
an exact likeness In four colors in one mo
ment, has been engaged. He can and will
paint anyone's portrait In this time.
The renowned Scotch Albino, C A.
Boring, will wake the echoes with
his bag-pipe, and the old Scottish
airs will be made familiar once more In na
tive stvle. Miss Annie Bell, the famous
heavyweight-beauty, and "Electra," the lady
who has puzzled everybody, and as a well
known electrician, who visited the Museum
one day last week, called her, "The Living
Storage Battery," are also to be seen.
In the theater Shlntaro's Troupe of Im
pel ial Japanese Performers, 12 in number,
will give an entertainment that is certainly
a novelty. These are the same Japanese who
have been imported by Barnum & Bailey as
their next season's attraction. Between the
acts several good specialties Dy well-known
artists will be Introduced. With this list of
attractions of such a varied and pleasing na
ture, lr crowaeu nouses every aiternoon ana
evening are not the rule at this popular
house, wo are very much mistaken in our
anticipations.
Fifth Avenne Museum.
Harry Davis has engaged a great deal of
talent for the Fifth Avenue Musenm this

Band and Parisian Embroidery Company
