J. T. Gilbert Thought That Clothing CInb
Was Straight Business Firm.
The name of J. T. Gilbert, head waiter of
the Hotel Anderson, appears in the list of
people who had paid 51 into the alleged
clothing club, which was exposed by the
police on Snnday. Mr. Gilbert says it does
him a great wrong. He said he never paid
a cent of money and only saw the pro
prietors once. He had no idea, either, that
a club was being organized. One day a
colored man called on him and said he rep
resented a clothing firm about starting in
business. He added that they would like
to have his trade as an advertisement and
for its effect on the waiters. He called at
the place of business, 908 Penn avenne,
looked at samples of cloth that pleased him,
and told the proprietors he needed two or
three suits of clothes and he would give
them the order if everything was satisfac
tory. They wrote his address on a memor
andum and he supposed that this is what
the officers had found. He never saw the
clothing people after that and knew nothing
about their methods, except that he thought
thev were business men. " ' .
Mr. Gilbert wants it understood that he
was not hoodwinked as reported. He says
he pays cash for his clothes, and if he didn't
have the money he has enough friends who
would gladly put up for him.
ANOTHER BAtLBOAD WAI
The P, T. SC, Objects to the Suburban
Boad Crossing Its Tracks.
A lively fight is expected between the
Suburban Railway and the Pittsburg, Vir
ginia and Charleston Bailway on the South
side this morning. Yesterday morning
workmen called at the South Eighteenth
street crossing and prepared to lay the
tracks of the proposed Suburban road across
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
lines. But before they had time to com
mence an engine was driven up to the cross
ing and stationed there. Then the regula
tion scheme was put into practice by blow
ing off steam, so that operations were
rendered impossible. The Suburban people
made ho fight, as it will be over a month be
fore they will require their tracks over the
crossing, and the effort to get across yester
day was abandoned.
It was stated last night, however, that one
more attempt will be made to-day, and if
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston con
tinues their opposition an injunction will be
asked for to prevent them interfering.
Iooklng After the Soldiers' Homes.
General A. L. Pearson went to Washing

it keepf the managers busy looking after
the appropriations and inspecting the homes.
There is always plenty of routine work in
taking back deserters and old boys who had
left. The General intends to examine the
home at Hampton before he returns. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Pearson, who has
been in bad health for some time.

THE ONLY LILLIAN
And the Musical and Beautiful La
Cigale at the Bijou Theater.
FARCE-MIN8TEEISY AT THE ALVIN
Clever Corned at the Grand and a Great
Company Eetnrns to the Dngnesne.
WHAT AIL TIIE SHOW HOUSES OFFER
At last Pittsburg has had an opportunity
of seeing Audran's great success, "La
Cigale," performed by the beautiful Lillian
Bussell and -her superb company. The
story of "La Cigale" is of course founded
on La Fontaine's fable. There is but little
of the original idea retained excepting the
alleged realization of it in "La Cigale's"
vision in the last act. The opera story goes
as follows: Marton (La Cigale) makes np
her- mind to go on the operatic
stage. The Duke of Fayensburg arrives
opportunely, and hearing of her intention
offers her the desired chance in his Italian
Opera Company. The Duke is engaged in
a flirtation with the danseusa of his com
pany. At the same time one of his suite is
making desperate love to the Duchess of
Favensbnrg, who finding discovery imminent
orders her lover to go forth and make love to
the first person he meets. "La Cigale" is
that first person and the gav chevalier really
falls desperately in love with the beautiful
country girt.
The Plot Worked Oat In a Vision.
"La Cigale" attains her ambition, and
within a year becomes a famous operatic
star. Being told that her lover is false, she
reproaches him with his perfidy and de
nounces the Duchess in the ball-room, and
then, overcome by the excitement, faints.
In a dream she has a vision of her old home.
"When she revives the Duchess tells her
that her lover is really true to her, and the
Duke, who thinks it a capital piece of act
ing, applauds it all, and suspecting nothing,
the threatened snarl is unwound at last
amicably and verv pleasantly for all.
Of course Lillian Busiell played "La
Cigale," and that charmingly. She acted
well and snng well. .Miss Bussell always
did act cleverly, but she rather surprised
her Pittsburg friends musically. There is
no doubt that she has improved wonder
fully since she last visited this city. She has
a sweet, powerful voice a little uncertain
perhaps in the upper register but she sang
with so much skill and effect last night that
this one very slight failing was hardly
noticeable. She has more work to do than
is usually allotted singers in comio opera,
but in every respect she acquitted herself
extremely well. She has several numbers
that elicited tumultuous applause and de
mands for repetition.
It is not often, if ever, that such singers
as Carl Streitman, who not long ago was the
leading tenor of the German Opera Com
pany that made so much of a sensation in
New York recently, and Signor Tagliapie
tra, whose fine baritone is so well known in
this city, are to be found in comic opera
companies. Of the latter it is unnecessary
to make any comment.
The Tenor or All In the Country.
Of Streitman it may be said that it is a
long time since a finer singer than he has
appeared in Pittsburg. He is at a slight
disadvantage, owing to his being compelled
to sing In English, a language with which
he is but slightly acquainted. At times the
enunciation of unfamiliar words seemed
to affect his tones, but, again, his
grand voice rose above all difficulties.
The ever popular Louis Harrison is also in
this company. Harrison is as funny as ever,
if not funnier. The audience was In a con
tinuous roar last night whenever Louis had
the stage. It might be as well, however, if
he left out some of the unnecessary "gags."
They are Ineffective and unnecessary. Grace
Golden, who waB here but a short time ago
with the Casino company, comes baok
again to us in "La Cigale," in
which she has a better opportunity.
Charles Munzan, as she Duke of Fayenibwrg,
has not -ranch ot a singing part, but looked
and acted very cleverly. Probably the best
feature la the splendid chorus. Without ex",
ceptlon this is abont the nest disciplined
chorus we have ever had in Pittsburg. It is
strong, big and well balanced. There
is very littlo if any "deadwood," and,
when the opportunity offers, does splen
did work. The scenery Is superb. The inte
rior of the ducal palace, with its splendid
pillars of pearl and gold and marble stair
case running up to a balcony is a revelation
of scehio art and construction. "La Cigale"
remains with us the balanoe of the week.
THE PEEBLESS PII0U COMPANY.
Geoffrey HIddleton Given With Admirable
Art at the Duqaesne Theater.
As was proper the Fltou Stock Comnany
received the warmest kind of welcome from
a large audience last night at the Duquesne
Theater. No changes of much Importance
have been made in the organization since it
appeared here last fall, and of course a
certain extia smoothness has been gained
for the produotion as a whole. Tho play
chosen for the opening was "Geoffrey Mld
dleton," which was reviewed In these
colnmnst very ffclly upon its pro
duction In this city. Miss Morton's
play Is Interesting and In places powerful
and noted by such a company as the
Pitou pioves very enteitainlng all through.
The admirable acting or Miss Selleman
makes Margaret overshadow all the other
characters, but the performance in all Its
parts was highly artistic. Mr. Nelson Wheat
croft, Mr. Thompson and Miss Leslie all bad
their peculiar moments of triumph, and the
applauso was very evenly distributed among
them. Mr. Charles Collins played the part
Dieviously taken by Mr. Shannon, that of
Courtenay JUiadleton, of South Carolina, the
aristocratic old man who sacrifices his son
to save his own honor. His make-up was
the chief defect In his impersonation.
Of course Miss Seligman's reception was
warm and appreciative. She seems to bo
somewhat thinner than when last here,
and her methods are more subdued though
none the less effective: The splendid piece
or acting, which won her two recalls in act
III, showed greater repression and deeper
pathos possibly. Some new comedy points
have been added for Miss Jane Stuart nnd
Mr. Leslie, which make their love affair
runnier man ever, jniss Stuart Is as
piquant, as pretty and original
as ever, and the audience applauded
her vigorously. Probably everyone or the
company has improved somewhat, and the
result Is a polished performance, such as no
other company now before the pnbllo could
give.
To night "A Modern Match," that highly
colored romance of modern life by Clyde
Fitch, is to be given. It is said to
have been rebuilt In many places, with good
results.
TUXEDO'S HOTEL HEBITS.
A Bright Show, Combining Farce and Min
strelsy, at the Alvtn Theater.
Nobody Is likely to claim the barrel of red
apples which the management of "Tuxedo"
offer to the person who will point out its
plot, bnt nevertheless it is a very bright en
tertainment, with few dull spots in it, lots
of songs well sung. Jokes galore, some of
them fresh, and some dancing and special
ties of more than ordinary merit. In the
first part, which shows a congregation of
society people at Tuxedo, the fashionable
New Jersey resort, there is melody and mer
riment in a sort of free-ror-all style.
There are enough good voloet in the
company to more than equip two comlo
opera organizations oi the modern sort.
Miss Fltzhugh, who has made name In
comic opera, has a powerful and very pleas
ant soprano, and she sang all her numbers
well, concluding with a high C in good
shape In the famous sextette from "Lucia."
Messrs. Frillman, Moore, Jose, Lewis and
several others have good voices and sang
very well. Miss Mamie Gllrov is a rarely
graceful dancer and a sprightly aotress, as
well as a very pretty girl.
In the seoond part a regular negro min
strel entertainment was given, in which
George Thatcher and Hngbey Dougherty
were naturally the stars. Neither of these
excellent comedian has lost any of his
humorous powers, and their jokes and songs
brought hn abundance of laughter. Taking
"Tuxedo" all In all It is one of the best en
tertainments of the kind Been here this sea
son, and not the least remarkable thing In it
Is the eocentrio dancing or John H. Cole
man, or which the audience could not get
enough. A large audience gave the piece a
hearty welcome.
The Harris Theater.
Gray and Stephens and their performing
ponies and dogs have returned to this house
month or so.
Thev have tba same'r
plays, "Vesper
Bells" and "Old Oaken Bucket,'' the former
for the first half or the weak, the latter for
the last half, and the same cast as on their
last trip. For all that, the house yesterday
was crowded to the doors at both perform
ances, and the laughter and applause were
as hearty as ever. The dogs and ponies are,
as usual, the best of the aotors.
DAN'L SULLY'S XTLLI0HAIBE.
Soma Honest Natural Acting In a Play of
Wholesome Interesting Tone. .
It is a great thing to wind up your first aet
with a situation that makes the roof ring
and leaves the audience anxious to know
what will follow. '1 hat's what happens in
the first act or "The Millionaire," the new
play by Leander Richardson, which was
given for the first time here at the Grand
Opera House last night. -And the play as a
Whole has new nnd rattling action, a motive
that is clear and interesting, after the rather
foggy explanation of some complicated rail
road deals In the opening' of the play Is done
with. The enter story of the play Is the fight
between an honest, bluff Irish railroad
contractor and a lot of rascally financiers.
The honest contractor. Jama O'Brien. Is
bound to carry nu t his contract and finish a
piece of railroad, and the aforesaid moneyed
sharps want to prevent him. By dint or
plnck.cool headed push and no little shrewd
ness, Contractor O'Brien wins, drives the
golden spike In tho last' tie laid with his
own nanus, anu inuxus p& iiib ciieiiuvn.
Daniel Sully is udmtrablynaturalas O'Brien;
he has the appearance of such a man, a com
mon and loveable type of Irishman in this
country, and he baa been provided with
a reasonable amount of really witty
lines, which he gets off In easy style.
It is so seldom that an actor of Mr
Scully's school lerraine from melodramatic
buncombe, and it Is refreshing. The audi
ence seemed to like it just as well, or per
haps batter, for they Tewarded all Mr.
Sully's points with applause, and bis com
edy with loud laughter.
The support is not especially good, and
one or two ot the actors sadly need drilling
In the use of language, and especially of em
phasis, but asMr. Sully has the bulk or the
work, and does It well, the deficiencies of
some of his associates are not so material.
C. J. Williams makes some fun out of a
caricature ot n German nobleman, and
little Daisy Loverlng plays a child's
part with artless piettiness. The realistic
reatutes of the second act, where a railroad
lsbelns built, were all that could be de
sired, railroad iron, roadbed or stones and
dirt, and real ties being employed. A pretty
large audience enjoyed the piece greatly.
It was the benefit of tho house employes.
