a :-?vr SWEET AMY EOBSART. Marie Wainwrigut as Scott's Dainty arid Distressed Heroine. CRANE'S CREATION, THE SENATOR. Mantell in the Corsican BrothersThe Old Parlor JIatch Burns Brightlj. ALL THE PLATS IN TOWN CRITICISED It is Tcrv hard to make a modern drama picturesque; nineteenth century clothes, nineteenth century houses, even nineteenth century men and women, are not romantic in color usually. The commonplace and modest-toned character of civilized life is a sad hindrance to the play f wright who would erect an Aladdin's palace for his hero and heroine of to-day. But if he will turn his back upon the United States and pass lightly over three centuries or so to the days and coun try of Good Queen Bess he may revel in romance, and riot in the gayest colors that have ever shone at one time in history's web. If this century of ours is Mack and white, softened at most into gray now and then, the ace of Elizabeth was surely tinged with carmine, overshot with gold, and sprinkled with a dust of diamonds, in the shape of men and deeds, that shine still as brichtly as they did then. The very school history of "that time is dramatic, romantic anl poetic against its will. Sir "Walter Scott in "Kenilworth" was at his best, and while he may not have been as careful of his facts and as natural in his romancing a Mr. Howells would have had him be, the story is a charming one, and reflects the gorgeous scenery of that time brilliantly. From this story the drama "Amy Kobsart" was built vears ago for Adelaide Xeilson; then one of the Yokes family played the ill-starred heroine, and last night' Miss Marie Wainwright nut her beauty and art into the balance at the Grand Opera House. It may be as well said first as last that Amy Robsart as a Flay Is a very sorry aftair. There are two or three scenes that appeal strongly to a sym pathetic audience, and almost everyone of the four acts is provided with a closing sit uation warranted to bring down the gallery. If climaxes were all that a play needs" Amy Ilobsart" would be howling "success, for it has so many that they overlap each other. But the plav has strong human interest, and as Miss AVainwright has staged it, it re produces to a considerable extent the romantic picturesqueness of the Eliza bethian age, as it was manifested in architecture, in courtiers clothes, and ali the pomp and circumstance in which the Virgin Queen delighted. The storv and the staging counterbalance the weakness of the plav, and the good acting of Miss "Wainwright and her associates brings the scale down in "Amy Robsart's" favor. This was the emphatic verdict of a larcre audience last night. Miss "Wainwright is a little thinner than she used to be, but this is not saying that she is anv the less fair. Her beauty is in deed nndimmed, although in the character of poor misused Amy, it is chastened into grief and forbidden to radiantly shine for us as it did in Shakespeare's 'divine Viola. The character is not a substantial one, and it is monotonously tear ful, but Miss "Wainwright makes all that can be made of it, a thing of beauty and a supplicant for sympathy. That her appeal succeeded was evidenced in recalls alter every act. Miss TTalnwrlglit's Grrat Act. In two scenes Miss Wainwright was pow erful in a dramatic way; the first at the meeting of Amy Bobnart and Queen Eliza beth 3t Kenilworth, the second in the half hysterical appeal of Amy to Leicester in act IV a delicious and truthful bit of pathos this, the trembling voice, twitching face and the very embrace telling of a wife's passionate affection. Of course Miss "Wain wright's dresses are exquisite. There is one of pink satin figured with wild roses, and withahuge crepe puffon either shoulder re minding us that women to-day are going back three centuries for their fashions that is almost regal. The Elizabethan ruff figures in all the costumes, and it is unquestiona bly becoming to a pretty face. But Miss "Wainwright looked as well in the severe Grecian robe of white, which she wears in the latter paft of tire play, as in anything she wears. It is kind of odd that Amy Kobsart should travel in such a gown as this one of white it escapes all journey stains, too! t Miss Blanche "Walsh, a very promising young actress, whose work in "Twelfth ight" last year brought her into promi nence, makes" a very comely Queen Elizabeth. How far she departs from the great original it would take a jury of historians to de cide and they would not be likely to agree upon a verdict. It is tolerably certain that the Virgin Queen had not the amiability and almost saucy sweetness Miss Walsh cannot repress at all times. But while Miss Walsh's Queen Bats flatters her Majesty as did Sir Walter Scott's, it is a clever attempt, and the queenly dignity and royal rase which she exhibited after the in terview v ith Amy certainly approached the true Tudor article. Mr. Barton Hill as Jlieard Varney has no adequate opportunity, but it is a nicelv fin ished performance, and the condensed and subdued villainy of the man are well shown. Varney dies in Amy's place, fall ing through the trap iloor at the lat moment; a departure from the novel in order to give the plav a happy ending for hero and heroine. The Earl of'Lcieester -n as in Henry Miller's hands, a very good look ing courtier he makes, but not a strong, loveable man partlv the inherent fault of the character, which is a contradictory, loose jointed creation, and partly Mr. Miller's, "for he docs not seem as manly as his garb at times. The Scenery la Really Beantlfol. William Ingersoll put lots of fire into the unsatisfactorv part of Trcsilian, a young man who is always getting left, but "is un toured by' reverses. Mr. Backus, as Tony Foster, shows a remarkable makeup, and his acting showed frequently a care to details of expression literally reaching to the finger-tips, a care that should lead him to refrain from bellowing "Fear nothing!" to hi- timid daughter in the last act. The scenery really demands a separate and extended "notice by itself, but it must suffice for the present to ay that it is of almost unexampled beauty. There are lews of Greenwich Palace, of the exterior of Kenilworth Castle, of Elizabethan in teriors and glimpses of English landscape, that are pictures in themselves of real value. Only one blemish could be pointed out, and that could be readily remedied. The moon which lights up the Kenilworth Castle and all the country round for I!0 miles, in act 3 shines 'from a sky in which there are many cracks. This is not remarked in unkindness, but from sympathy with the inoon, whose effulgence is rivaled by the rifts in the sur rounding sky. Taking it altogether "Amy Robsart" is a beautiful production, and reflects great credit upon Miss Wainwright and her manager, Julian Magnus. WELCOME, SENATOB! W. n. Crane Reintroduces Ills Genial Legislator at the Dnqawne. "The Senator" came back to us last night, bringing back with it all the familiar at mosphere of Washington life. With Will iam H. Crane in his memorable creation, Senator Ifaunibal Mivcrs, a warm reception was accorded to it and to him by a large audience gathered in the Duquesne Thea ter. It must be confessed that Pittsburg gave the play a warmer welcome last night, as an old friend, tiian a year ago, when it was a stranger. The stage set ting has been vastly improved since then; in the second scene, there is the dain tiest imaginable drawing room, showing a bit in perspective of all adjoining rooms, with the prettiest possible effect. The cast is practically thesame, excepting the 'part of Josie Armstrong, taken last year by Jane Stuart. MiBs Stuart is now re placed by a very petite bit of femininity, sweet-faced Gladys "Wallis. Mr. Crane as Senator fiivers is the Senator of a year ago. There is the same ugly suit of clothes, made for utility only, that he wears when he first falls in with the Denman claim and the Denman father and falls in love with the Denman daughter. His chin is furnished with the same stubby, as sertive, what might be termed beardlet. He is the same statesman whom we love for his good heart, for his Western push, and his manly, unselfish love. There is one Senator Hannibal Rivers, and he is Will iam H. Crane, bv the power of the intellect and the charm of his humor. A year ago we praised his company and what was then said can only be repeated. That Miss Hattie Russel won Pittsburg a year ago was evidenced by a welcome when she entered as the susceptible widow, Jr. Hilary, such as not often given here. She is as susceptible as ever; leans in as charming a manner as of yore on the mentality of "her Senator," is the lovable bit of womanliness she ever was with the almost orphaned Mabel Den man, and is so roguishly "flirtatious" to borrow a "Josicism" that one wants to be a flirt also, if one could only manage it half as well. Another clever bit of acting was that by T. D. Frawley as Lieutenant George Schuyler. His work is of the quiet kind and thoroughly artistic, and it brought him a deal of de served applause. Miss Wallis is not a Jane Stuart, nevertheless she plays her part very agreeably. THE COBSICAN BBOTHEES. Robert Mantell in That Intense and Weird Tiny at the Uljon. That old veteran and sterling actor, CW. Couldock, remarked when last in this city that no man lacking tenor tones in his voice could be a great actor. Couldock is one of the ablest actors of the day, therefore his opinion is valuable. If we accept that dictum, which we are not' sure about, it is the lacking of these tones and a disposition to cut his sentences into nieces, averaging two words each in the intenser passages, that will keep Robert Man tell out of the first rank of actors. Gifted with a vocal organ of unusual sweet ness and great power in the middle tones, it is otherwise without flexibility and at times utterly beyond the control of its owner. Withal Mr. Mantell is really a very clever actor, and is seen at his "best in Dumas' favorite old melodrama, "The Cor sican Brothers," with which he opened his present engagement at the Bijou Theater last night. As usual when this actor comes to town, he was greeted by a crowded house, which followed the romantic story of the brothers Dei Erarichi with intense interest, applauding vociferously often, and callinsr the star be fore the curtain at the conclusion of the fifth act. Mantell's support and the scenery may be classed together. Both are a little worse for wear, in some places very much so. The play requires a large company, but only five or six need be good actors, but even this few are wanting in the Mantell company. Charlotte Behrens, as ErnHie De Tjeiparre, has but little to do, and does that passably well. Albert Bruning as yr. Chateau Setumd. Xnthauiel Hartwig as Aljred JIayard, B. T. Ringgold as Baron Jfonigircn and W. Morton "Baker as Baron JIartdti ranged from fair to bad, not even a little life or fire distinguishing the effort of the four. Rowx, the woodcutter, imperson ated by Harry Stanhope; Gnffo Verner Clarges and the poor little white hen over which the rival Corsican families had quarreled wer; really good. The balance of the cast was lost in the mysterious glamour that hangs about the drama. If so many of the audience had not been afflicted with influenza and decidedly croupy couehs, some of the players might have been able to make a better impression. As it was, they were more or lea's at a dis advantage. The "Corsican Brothers" will be repeated to-night THE MATCH STILL ALIGHT. Evans and Iloey Make It Glow With 'ew Brightness at the Alvin. Probably in the next century the critics will have found out why "A Parlor Match," which will then have reached its millionth night, is more amusing than any of the farcical pieces produced in this decade. Without delving into the in wardness of the great problem it may be enough to say that it is as tunny as ever, and last night at the Alvin made an audience laugh as heartily as ever. The tramp, Old Host, is made a work of art by Hoey, and the book agent is the only truly de lightful one in the business, thanks to the magnetic humor of Evans. They have put many new frills around these clever crea tions; Hoey sings anew song or two, and the mysterious cabinet produces new and remarkable visions of beauty and cleverness. The Levey sisters arc con siderable additions to the luminosity of "A Parlor Match." Miss Mary Levey was un able to appear last night, but her two grace ful sisters sang and danced their way into the hearts of the audience. The house was crowded. The Harris Theater. The principal feature of the performance at the above house, this week, is the special scenery carried by Augustin Neuvillc as a setting for "The Boy Tramp." One of the prettiest bridge scenes on the road is that of Brooklyn bridge, with its electric lightsand illuminated cars. The view of the Passaic river is also very good, and there are several other scenes worth seeing. The play has been seen here before. It is a melodrama, pure and simple, and relies for its success upon its dramatic climaxes, of which there are any number. The company is a capable one, and the house was crowded to the doors twice yesterday. Harry Davis Museum and Theater. At this house Ella Ewing, the giantess, seems to be bigger this week than last, for she is the sort of woman that grows on one. Prof. Sherman, with his goat circus, illus trates the power of man over animals. Each of his goats recognizes his voice and obeys him without hesitation. The goat on the tight-rope is simply a wonder. Zan Zarett, the magician, is very neat in his perform ance, and Cozart, the long-haired young lady, is a beauty. There are a number of novelties in the vaudeville show in the theatorium. Next week, Linus, the S100, 000 horse, with the long mane and tail, will be at Harrv Davis. "World's Musenm-Theater. The cool weather and the big return for 10 cents to be obtained at the World's, crowded that popular Alle gheny house .yesterday. In the theater a big entertainment -was given, in which Cashing and Merrill's musical sketch, Sheehan and Murphy's laughable and original burlesque of "The Bookmaker," and Burton's 510,000 dog circus are only some of the good things. Prince Teny mite, a genuine dwarf of unusual small ness, and some other interesting curiosities are also to be seen in the hall. Harry "Williams' Academy. There was laughter enough at this house last night to satisfy the most ardent lover of mirth. The big Howard Burlesque Com pany furnished the food for merriment in a mixed entertainment in which a donkey party and a lantern gavotte are features, and in a burlesque oa a popular plsy called "Blue-O-Jane." There are lots of clever people in the company. Stage Whispers. , "Eight Bills" ts not a melodrama. Itjsa pantomimic absurdity and thoro isaship scene in it. It was thoughtful of Manager Davis to ' . THE PITTSBURG have those little notices announcing Miss Levey's illness distributed at the Alvin The ater last night. FIREBUGS IN VERMONT. SEVERAL TOWNS AT THE MERCY OF THE TORCH OF ARSON. The Business Center or MIddlebnry Wiped Oat Citizen of Castleton Take the law in Their Own. Hands Streets Patrolled by Vigilantes' Guards. RUTXAifD, Vt., Xov. 30. Special. There have been more fires in Vermont these last two weeks than the oldest in habitant remembers within a similar period. The business center of the old college town of Middlebury was practically wiped out a week ago Sunday night, and Wednesday night a fire in St. Albans, the great railroad center of the State, nearly consumed the business part of the village. But the anxiety caused by these two big fires is nothing compared to that which preAails in Castleton, a pretty little village about a dozen miles from here. Castleton has had incendiary fires at the rate of one a day for the last six days, and the village is in a state of terror. The citizens have taken matters in their own hands, as the town authorities seem powerless. They have organized a vigilance committee, and armed sentinels, appointed by the vigilantes, patrol the town after dark. For a week the fires have been started with almost unfail ing regularity, and in spite of the precau tions taken the firebugs have escaped. Wednesday night a score of armed men carrying lanterns, patrolled the streets all night. Other men, some of whom were armed, sat up all night to watch their property. There was no fire that night. On Thursday night the watch was -not begun so early ana there was another fire. On Friday evening there was another fire. The guards wefe redoubled and half the able bodied men in town sat up all night. On Saturday night there was a small fire in the outskirts of the town, apd the foot prints ot a man leading from it were dis covered. No one was caught, but there was a light in nearly every house in the village all night, and lanterns were hung in most of the yards. The armed watchmen patrolled the streets, and no one slept easy. Now it is proposed to hire a city detective. G0VEEN0E CAMPBELL THE 0BAT0B. The Natives of Ohio In Chicago Hold Their Regular Annnal Banquet. Chicago, Nov. 30. The second annnal banquet of the Ohio Society of Chicago was held this evening in the ladies' ordinary of the Grand Pacific.

At Chicago last night the plant of tho Chicago Arc Light and Power Company was damaged to the extent of $150,000, one-third of which is on the building. A crossing of wires caused the fire. The freight steamer Tioga", near by, had a narrow escape. A still alarm called out engine No. 7 last evening.

SCOTCH DINNER AT DELMONICO'S. Dr. Channcey Depew Cracks Jokes at the Steel-King's Expense. THE FARL OP ABERDEEN'S LITTLE SLIP rSPECIAL TZLEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.! New Yobit, Nov. 30. Two hundred and fifty canny Scots celebrated the one hun dred and thirty-fifth anniversary of the St. Andrew's Society at Delmonico's to-night. They ale French cooking and drank Ehine wine, and when the band played "Annie Laurie" they all joined in vigorously "William McCleland, the piper of the socie ty, in bonnet and plaid, piped "The Camp bells Are Coming" and "Auld Lang Syne," with many more of the old Scotch airs. "When the time came to serve the "hasgis" the piper headed the procession of waiters and marched around the room playing "The Bunnocks o' Barley Meal." Because of the illness of President John Sloane, ex-President J. S. Kennedy pre sided. At his right sat the Earl of Aber deen. Others at the President's table were "W.

After the regular toasts to "The Day an' a' "Who Honor It," "The Queen," ""The President" and "The Land o' Cakes" had been drunk, the Earl of Aberdeen spoke of "The Scot Abroad." The Earl is a good story teller, and he exercised his gift sev eral times. When he said he had visited Central Park and seen the statues of Shakespeare and John Burns he was gener ously applauded and assisted in correcting his slip of the tongue. Andrew Carnegie, answering to "the Scotch-American," said: "A man without a country was no better than a Canadian.ihe man of all men to be commiserated. I prophesy," he continued, "as the destiny of this country, that it will, under the Ameri can Constitution, adopt all other branches of English-speaking people." Dr. Depew was down to speak about the "Destiny of our Adopted Country," but he said the attempt to develop the destiny of our country, when midnight was so rapidly approaching, reminded him of the time when, in a prize debate at college, he had three minutes in which to prove the im mortality of the soul. Depew Jokes at Carnegie's Expense. Then he cracked good jokes, some of them at Mr. Carnegie's expense, and told good stories. The spectacle of Andrew Carnegie claiming to be modest, he said, wonld never be equaled, and he was glad we had seen it in this century. "It is customary with us," he said, "to have first our frivolities and then settle down to the serious business of life. "We have had our election. And from mystand point it was a very frivolous affair. Now we have the serious business of a Scotch banquet. Nothing better illustrates the fact that this is an Irish governed city," he went on, "than the fact that when the chairman sent word to the German who leads the band to play 'Annie Laurie' he gave us 'Annie Kooney." " Other toasts were to "The Poetry of Scot land," "The City of New York," "Our Sister Societies," and "Honest Men and Bonnie Lassies," and it all wound up with: May care and trouble never fash, But mirth and Joy be wi' ye a'. THE CLEVELANDS' OUTING. BABY RUTH WELL BUNDLED TJP AND TAKEN TO JERSET. Her First Season In Society Too Much for Her Papa and Mamma Cleveland Ac company Her to Lakewood How the Journey Was Began. New York, Nov. 30. Special. Miss Ruth Cleveland's first season in New York has already proved too much for her. She made her debut rather early, and she has had the distinction not often, enjoyed by a young debutante, of monopolizing the whole attention of the whole of society, and she needs rest. So this afternoon her dainty wraps and traps were gathered to gether, her cradle and carriage were care fully packed in woolen cloths and she left town for Lakewood, N. J., where she will probably pass the winter in more or less seclusion. The Cleveland house on Mad ison avenue will be closed during Miss Cleveland's absence The party left on the 4 o'clock train for Lakewood this afternoon. At about 2:30 o'clock six men were loading half a dozen big trunks and us many boxes ana barrels and other effects into an express wagon in front of the Cleveland house. After all the commonplace goot?s were safely stowed, all hands went into the house, and shortly returned bearing the cradle and baby bnggy. The cradle was hidden by the wrapping, but the polished walnut and silver ot the buggy showed through the cloths. The maids and men servants superin tended. the removal in a body. The cradle was strapped conspicuously on the front of the wagon, and the buggy equally con spicuously on the rear. Mr. Cleveland's carriage drove up to the door, and- a nurse came out of the house carrying a mass of white woolens and laces in her arms, from the middle of which peeped a pair of big, bright eyes above a pair of chubby red cheeks, and a little nose that was also quite red and chubby. Behind the nurse came Mrs. Cleveland, with a big fur wrap gathered closely around her, and a large hat with a big ostrich feather almost hiding her face. Then Mr. Cleveland, looking extremely happy, gravitated down the steps of the house, and brought up the rear. He beamed on little Ituth as the pro cession started for the ferry, the carriage leading and the express wagon, with the cradle and baby buggy well in sight, bring ing up the rear, he was sitting on the edge of the front seat bending over to the baby.
