Mr. Wilkinson's Widows Make Things Very Lively While THE FIRE PATKOL IS REALISTIC The Clemenceau Case and the Attractions Offered Here. Other HOW ALL WERE RECEIVED LAST NIGHT Mr. Wilkinson was abigamist, but neither wife knew of the other's existence till after his death, till in lact they had married again. How he kept up the two establish ments and provided for two young and pretty wives is not explained very defi nitely, but such things have been done in real life and the complications resulting from such a dual existence have been ued before with good effect in farcical comedy. Last night at the Alvin Theater "Mr. "Wil kinson's Widows," as they were after they had exchanged the funereal crepe for bridal colors, made two hours fly very quick ly amid roars of laughter. The story of this nmnslng trifle, which Is an adaptation fiom the French of Alexander Bissonby William Gillette, is not to be told off-hand or in less than a column, so that the merest outlino must suffice here. The widows of Mr. Wil kinson have married again and by a strange chance aro living in the same apartmene house in London when the play begins. They are Mrs. Perrin and Mrs. Dickerton. Major juauery, an English officer, loturns fiom China and drops in to see his friend Perrin, and to him confides the storv of his filtra tion with a certain llrs. Wilkinson, who ho hears is now a widow. Perrtt jumps to the conclusion at once that this Is his wife, and becomes desperately Jealous. Mrs Perrin dicover lng a bill contracted by the wicked Wilkin son, whom she revered as a saint, for Jew elry, the bill being made out to Perrin, also grows Jealous. The entanglement and con fusion which follows is most ingeniously contrived, so that gross impossibilities beem for the moment almost probable. Unlike most farces of this sort it is weakest not at the end. In the unraveling; but In the middle, where the plct should reach a cilsis, It Is flabby and flat. The first and last acts con tain a good deal of pure comedy, and aro bright and spai kllng for the most pai t. The ceuter is weak chiefly because the play degenerates Into slap-stick clowning there. Tet tho play, in spite of the tire some repetition of bmlesquo business around the dinner table, is full of laughter, and like "Jane," which it resembles greatly in style, it is not too long. But the acting makes after all about two thiids of the fun. It is a capital company that Chailes Frohman has got together. Joseph Holland is a comedian of the best school the school that can make more laughter with the lifting of an eyebrow or the accenting of a word that your clown can cause with a double somersault and a bag of flour. So good was Mr. Holland at depicting a husband distracted by his first jealous pangs that one wished he had a more sin cerely human character to play. Mrs. Georgle Drew Barrymoie lent her striking per sonality and aggressive humor to one of the widows, and as Mrs. Perrin w as responsible for a great deal of laughter. The beauty and daintiness or Emily Banckermade the other widow a convincing proof of Mr. Wil kinson's good taste. Thomas Burns gave a quaint and quietly original individuality to the Major, "who puts his foot in it." though the squeaky, upwnra inflection of his voice perhaps suggested Stuart Robson too much. A thoroughly new Irish sorvaut, new on the stage, though fairly familiar in pri vate life, was very cleverly presented by Miss Mattie Ferguson. Miss Ferguson's creation was funniest when nearest nature, when, for instance, she stood staring at her mistress with open-mouthed wonder. On the other hand Miss Annio Wood made the "cuke" most laughable by a preposter ous make-up and broadly farcical antics. .Miss Adelaide Grey, whoso home is in this city, made a modest but verv satisfactory y, mauo a moaest DUE debut in a small part. The play was set With exnulsite taste in two handnnmn Intn. riors. A large audience laughed at most of the play heartily. The Fire Patrol. Another new drama of the sensational order was produced at tho Grand Opera House last night. As a melodrama of the old "true blue" Bowery stylo, it fills the bill completely. A big audience enjoyed It thoroughly, indeed the nppor part of the house was almost carried away with en thusiasm. There are quite a number ot thrilling scenes. In the first act one of the duo or herons with, which tho drama has been provided is shot. In thn second there Is a murder and startling rescue from under the ore crushers in the mine. By the way, this is quite a realistic; scene, and It was quite generously applauded last night. In the third act there are at the very least a dozen exciting climaxes; the villian is arrested by the flro patiol, the police and a deputy sheriff, but as there aro still two acts remaining it is discovered in the next that he escapes them all. And so it goes. To tell tho story In de tail would require several columns. Suffice it to say that everything pertaining to the out and out melodrama Is in troduced excepting Indians There Is some slight allusions to redskins during the oven ng, but it is o nly as an aside. There aro a number of good players In "The Fire Patrol," notably W. W. Bittne.- and J. W. Harkins, Jr., who play tho heroes, and Mar garet Hatch and Alice Endress, the heroines. Idella Maodonnell and Messrs. George Scott and George Hose gave general satisfaction and the balance of the large cast were ac ceptable. The Bfjon Theater. "The Clemenceau Case" was reproduced at the Bijou last night before a moderate sized audience. This play was condemned without reservation in these columns a year ago, and there is nothing more to be said. Miss Laura BIggar as lia, and Gus Levlclc and Willard Newell are the chief people in the East. The Academy of Music. Although the season is about over, the Academy of Musio continues to be patro nized by ciowded houses. Last evening "Kennedy's Kings or Fun" attracted just as laige and enthusiastic nn audience to tho Academy as has been seen for a long time. The companvavoalmostall extremely enter taining. J. E. Kennedy is very droll. Prof. J. F. Flynn Is a good mesmenst and Gordon and Lick are entertaining as musicians. The plantation sketches of Hughes and Farron were well received. Frye and Hamilton are excellent singers and comedians and worth seeing. The Bar rett Bros, are also good artists and the bal ance of the company command attention. Davis Musenm Theater. Large audiences filled Harry Davis Fifth Avenue Museum-Theater yesterday when tho County Circus commenced its second run. Tile show this week has iAn materially strengthened by tho acquisition or a number of very clever performers. Major Docker and Bobby Itolfe do n side splitting builesque boxing act, Eldorado, tne ventriloquist and his wooden-headed family, affoid a fund ot amusement, while Jerome, late of tho Barnum show, does a contortion act that is positively astonishing- World's Sluseum Theater. The two wrestling bears, "Jumbo" and "Bismarck," were the attractions that drew big houses to the World's Museum-Theater all yesterday and last evening. The clever ness of the trained animals amused ai'd in terested the large body or pations mightily. In the theater an exceptionally good vaude ville company, Stanley's Palace Varieties, furnished an excellent and rellned peiform ance. The same programme will continue througnoutins weeii. The Harris Theater. "Dr. Jekyll" and his wicked side part ner, "Mr. Hyde," interested and somewhat amused two laige audiences at this house jesterday. The management premises a better rendition or tho play hereafter, and an improvement upon it from Thursday to S iturday evening, w hen "The Bells" will be given.

Salo positive, rain or shine, Thursday, May 12, at 10 o'clock A.K OBSTRUCTED BY A FORM. Jacobs Boasted for Standing TJp to Fray Necessity for a Hilltop In Pittsburg Qualifications That Fit Holliday for the Position. Bihop Petty presided yesterday at the A. M. E. Zion Grand Conference. ,The Bishop made a plea for mora careful work. The result was that nearly the whole morn ing was taken up in a disouision over whether it was right for a man to stand up and pray, though the usual form is to kneel. The discussion was provoked by the reading of the minutes in whloh Rev. F. Jacobs, of the Tennessee Conference, was reported to hav "stood up" and prayed and Imme diately the choir sang, "He Is Risen." An attempt was made to have the words "stood up" stricken out, but up to the noon ad journment the matter had not been decided and there is a doubt as to whether posterity will ever be told that he "stood up." Rev. J. T. Rilev, Dr. M. J. Sleppy and several other Methodist Episcopal ministers were introduced to the Conference. Rev. J. E. Wilson, fraternal messenger from the 3d. E. General Conference deliver ed his greeting. He said his branch of the church had increased 408,000 in the past four years and that the membership of the M. E. Church is 2,385,916. 'The afternoon session was devoted almost exclusively to the strictest routine busi ness. Prof. W. C. Goler, I). D., of Living ston College, responded to the fraternal greetings of for. Wilson of the M. E. Con ference in Omaha, Nebraska. Devotional exercises occupied nearly two hours of the afternoon session. In the evening a few short addresses were made, but no business appertaining to the Conference was transacted. In the conference the election of bishops, which has beer, fixed lor Thursday, is the all-important topic of conversation. It has been definitely decided to elect two bish ops. Rev. George.B. Young, of the ST. E. Church, explained the situation yesterday as follows: "The whole fightiS on whether Pittsburg or New York gets a bishop. New York has a bishop now and wants an other in the person of Rev. Mr. Walton, who is a young man. At present there is no bishop in Pittsburg and St Louis, and there is great need of one here. Elder J. Holliday, of Pittsburg, a preacher al ready famous all over the country, is being pushed for the place. We need a Disnop here to look after the great colored popula tion in the Ohio Valley, and the election of a New York man will not make any change in the present situation. "Elder Holliday became famous in 1870, when he saved the Zion Conference of Ken tucky from going into the A. M. E. Church. He made a great record in Indianapolis. where he took hold of the followers of Dixon in their great exodus from North Carolina, and took care ol them. He is a great-financier and a church builder. Every church he ever took hold of he has placed in good condition, and ho has built churches in this city and in Johnstown. Within the next eight years I believe all branches of Methodism will be united, and he would be au able man to take part in making such a union. Pour out of the six Bishops are in favor of him." SMALLPOX IN L4WEENCEVILLE. John Chalwlck Has a Mild Case, but Will Go to the Fest-Hoose. Another case of smallpox has been dis covered in Lawrenceville. Yesterday morning John Chalwirk, who lives on Lafayette alley, near Thirty-seventh street, sent for a neighboring physician to treat what he supposed was an extremely malig nant cose of chickeupox, but which the doctor pronounced a mild case of varioloid. City Physipian Dr. J. Guy McCandless was notified, and last night visited the patient and confirmed the doctor's diagno sis. Chalwick was vaccinated, as were other members of the household, this probably accounting for the mild form of the disease. To be on the safe side, how ever, Dr. McCandless ordered that the man be removed to the pest-house, and he will be taken there to-day. None of the other members of the household show symptoms ot the disease. B. & B.
