Wakeman's Pen Picture of the Haunts of, English Actors. DRINK THE REAL ATTRACTION Of Manj Places That Have Been Made Topnlar by Thespians. A PICTURESQUE WEEKLY AESEMBLAGB rCORKH'POXDENCE OF TIIC DISPATCH. Jxnix-, May 23 It is impossible to imagine, a cteater contrast than exists be tween London actors and London variety actors; between the legitimate London stage and that vast and various collection of amusement establishments known as music halls, in which music has never en tered, and between the audiences at London theatres and the throngs which gather at "the halls." The London actor, as shown in my last letter, is a man of good birth and breedin;. He has had the advantage of the best of early training and environment. His voca tion is one which requires manful effort, in tense application, many vears of apprentice ship and study, and conduces to high moral and intellectual ambitions. He is a home lover, builder and keeper. 11 is social status is the best. His associations are with men and women of talent and achievement. And, in most cases, he passes from his days ot activity into a long and mellow evening of life, in which he is still otten a public favorite and is always sought after as a companion and a reminisccntialist; and at last, when the dark curtain is rung down upon him. he enters a well-merited repose, embalmed in the loving memory of men, if cot graven or painted in the niches of re nown. A Credit to Any Xatloi. The London dramatic stage and its audi ences are a credit to any nation. As a whole the morale, atmosphere and results ore good. I believe that, as a rule, English pliyers. plays and audiences together repre sent the best expression and receptivity of genuine mirth and sentiment which" can anywhere be found. And on the large lines of consideration, it may be safelr said that whatever may be presented, comedy, drama or tragedy, upon the stage of London and lias met with public satisfaction, has been the product ot dramatic authors having no superiors, has been given interpretation by the ablest and most conscientious of actors, and has reached the magic realm of success through as cautious and severe criticism and iiurginglj-healthful laggard approval, as are nece-sary to give something of real value to the entire amusement world. But good as all this surely is, what can be the secret of that strange and inexplica ble national taste which not only makes possible but stubbornly clings to and con tinues to develop with giant strides that in comparably greater andjnexpressibly inane and beastly form ot amusement found in the London music halls? A reputable Knglish writer once gave, from the Knglish standpoint, a pleasant cue to the secret in the proposition that "the greater height a people touch in their de velopment the lower mostly are the depths of their recoil. Unhappy, "then, the nation that has no appreciation ot hopeless vul garity!" More Than a Score of the Hh!K There are at present in London a score or more ot great music halls into erch of which nightly crowd from 2,000 to 5,000 people. Tl'cre are hundreds upon hundreds o lesser aflairs, ranging from the old time free-and-easy, from which the modern music hall has sprung to the "pennv-gaffs," where au diences of from 100 to COO persons may be found. Beside these. I ould almost ven ture the assertion, there are thousands of "pubs" or public houses, drinking places with assembly rooms behind the bar, where free "smoking concerts" attract a perma nent nightly audience of a a score to a hun dred workinjmen and the foul rabble that tubsists upon their generosity and weak ness. Of all these places the "penny-gafi"," or outrageously ridiculous pantomine, or voice less melodrama, or wordless tragedy, in which there is indescribable murder, "high way robbery, and other lurid crime, but all enacted without spoken word to evade the law governing dramatic representations, is the least harmful, for it has no bar; and to get his "penny "orth" of play, the White chapel barbarian is kept for at least two hours away from a public house. Drink is the real attraction ot all the others. The wise lawmakers of London will not permit any dramatic representation at any place where liquor is sold. Something which would appeal to the intellect might lessen the demand lor drink. So theymake it easy to debauch the masses with a combi nation of sensationalism and drink,and lrom the lowest free ".smoking concert" to such music-hall palaces as the London Pavillion, Alhambia, Tivoli, Royal, Oxtord and Tro cadero, not one in one hundred could exist a fortnight on the merit of its performance alone. The. Smoking Concert Rooms. The great London music hall is simply a larger and more insiduously hurtful type of the free "smoking concert" room, in the hands ot a stock company which profits to the extent ot 23 and 30 per cent, instead of a singfe publican who is satisfied with 10. It is practically a gigantic bar or series of tiers ot bars, surrounding an auditorium where thousands instead of scores can be ad mitted, at a merely nominal entrance fee; where a stag? with specialtv performers bupplant the phttforra, the pianist and the volunteer; and where the same classes, or more vicious ones, with '"Arrys and "Ar riets" ot London fill the pit, while everv manner ot cad, fast fellow ot the gentryaud nobility, including a good sprinkling of London Bohemia, saunter in the promenades and till the boxes and stalls. You can bring along your pipe and smoke it just the same as at the other place. The constant explusion of sciatched matches is ot the same deadly odor and familiar souni There are the same sort of barmaids, only more of them, scores of them, more bewitch ing and dangerous. The demimonde, quiet but alert as falcons, are here in hundreds in seal ch of quarry. Dozens of gold-laced lackeys and inspectors give semblance of re fined order and strict propriety. But all the elements of mischief are here. Though the mirrors, decorations and all appoint ments are gorgeous, all the opportunities for making a beast of one's selt are provided without stint. Yon can become maudlin and sing the performer's ballad all your own way. And the whole audience,"bv mid eveuiug, is roaring along with the orchestra at the catchlines, choruses and terrains. limine to Have Their "Honeys Worth. About 20 different acts called "turns" are done by as many different performers in one evening, and "each "actor" will have trom one to four "turns" for the same even ing, each at different halls, to which he speeds iu every sort of conveyance, from a coster's donkey cart to a brougham. Pro grammes are furnished, on pavment, and Jiuge numerals, slid into the proscenium sides, corresponding with programme num bers, indicate that when the deafening clang of the stage manager's gong is next heard, the "turn" is to done bv the Ec uowned Signorina Splittavoce, Spaghetta Siren to the Italian Court, bv the Climax of Cloggists, by Nell Ncllwood, Unap proachable Delineator of Dukes' Dialogues, by the Slug Brothers, Kings of Knocka bouts, or by Mile. I'adshanks, Queen of Aspiring Heels. Applause is ungrudgingly given, and the pit, ever insisting upon its money's worth of screeching, wriggling and contortion, always vociferously demands as many "hencorcs" as the management will tolerate. These shows, with few exceptions in favor of individual performers, are utterly point jess, mirthless, inane and beastly. Theie are perhaps in all this host of London music hall "actors" a half dozen who have demonstrated that true art may find reward even iu so hopeless a field. Such .ire George .Beatichamp, comedian; Jcnnj Hill, J. impersonator of the coster girl, "the ludg-ing-'ouse missus," and female characters of that ilk; and Albert Chevalier, whose studies and representations of the London costermonger should give him rank as a really great actor and man of positive genius. Hread and Contempt of Kach Other. But between all these odd folk and the London actors of the dramatic, stage, there is endless emulation mingled with tantaliz ing attempts at ''freedery" and airiness on the one bide, and a fadeless dread and con tempt on the other. The musio hall actor, "pros" or "prosser" as he -is known in London, is in nearly every instance (a product ot the lowest'London.life. As a rule he is a costermonger, waterside char acter, stable bov, "boots," starveling from the traveling booth shows, Billinsgate crate carrier, or from somewhere out the East End slums. If he be of as good, quality as from the humblest laboring classes he still, as well as all other music hall performers, grad uates into his profession through one un varying school of low and often vile train ing from the "penny gafi," the worst of the London shows, or from the "smoking concert" den, where be has, as "volunteer," sang, danced, contorted, or slugged, for the free entcrtainmeut of the beery and foul gutter hosts of London. Many of these fa vorites command salaries of from 100 to 150 per week. But about all of them reach their affluence, and often respecta bility, out of the same original depths, and along the same vicissitous road. Edgap. L. "WakemaX. A TANTALIZING SEDUCTION. Tho Lower Kailroail l'relglit Kates on Iron List On'y a Short Month. Cleveland, Jane 3. In its weekly resume of the condition of the iron and ore trade, the Iron Trade Review says: The iron market plods on in a way that has long been wearisome. Productive capacity lias had some limitations put ou it in May that have assisted notably in the reduction of stocks. From Ashland the ore movement is largely of tonnage covered in connection with the heavy sales of last winter, and wild charters aie not plentiful Thus far the course of the freight market has been close in line with that of last year. There is a continued absence of large sales. Buyers in the market are to cover existing needs, and the weekly aggregate of 1,000 ton and 2,500-ton sales is, perhaps, an in crease, but that does not signify at a time when mining companies are adding to their stock piles every day, trusting to sales yet to be made to take care of the steadv drain of operating expenses. Just as the furnace interest had begun to believe that the rail roads at last appreciateii the situation, a notification comes that the old east-bound rates on pig iron are to be restored June 13. Why the advance should come now, after a tantalizing month under lower figures, is as inscrutable as the paltriness of the coke rate reduction of 5 cents from Conuellsville to Cleveland.

The long-talked-of combination of wall paper manufacturers became an accomplished fact this afternoon, when a certificate was filed with the Secre tary of State, incorporating the National Wall Paper Company with a capital of 514,000,000, divided into 5100 shares. The company may hold stock in other corpora tions having anvthing to do with its line of business, and exchange its stock for the stock of such corporations. In addition to the usual power to borrow money and other wise create obligations, the corporation has power to issue a form of obligation in the nature of certificates of in debtedness, to the extent' of SG,000.000, which shall be known as debenture stock. The business WI1 be transacted in all the States and Territories and in loreign coun tries wherever its products can be most ad vantageously manufactured, purchased or sold. The principil business office will be in Xew York City, and branches will be es tablished iu other States and foreign coun tries.

Asiiland, Wis., June a The strike of upper dockmen at the ore docks is still on, with no prospects o! an immediate settle ment. The men are determined, and say they will accept nothing but 52 per day and 25 cents per hour over-time. Yesteraav morning the crew of the steamer Mitchell, lying at the Lake Shore docks, attempted to dump enough ore to finish loading the boat, but all were driven back: to the boat dock by the strikers, who also jumped upon the dock foreman. The com panies made a proposition to them to resume work, offering them 51 65 and 51 75 for day and night work and 25 cents per hour over lime. The men held a meeting, but flatlv refused the companies' offer. There are 25 vessels tied up.

GOING TO CONVENTION Pitlsbnrg Eepublicans Join in tbe Rash to Minneapolis. THE MAJORITY ARE FOR BLAINE. C. L. Magee Still Declares That Harrison Should Ee the Man. TOJf BONNHORST TALKS FOE ALGEE The eyes of the Eepublicans of the nation are now turned toward Minneapolis and the Republicans of Pittsburg yesterday turned their faces in that direction. It was a distinguished party that left Pittsburg during the day. They went in twos and threes and fours, and each had his own opinion on the result of the. great National Convention, and probably no district in this or any other State iu the TJniou will send to the gathering ot political leaders such varied sentiments and such a com pletely divided delegation. The Republicans, big and little, yester day turned themselves loose in the great flood that is rushing to the Northwest. Tbe big chiefs ot the city, the accepted political leaders and the ward hustler who could se cure transportation and promise of some thing to eat while at the convention hur ried away to howl themselves hoarse and walk themselves weary for their favorite Presidental aspirant. The first party to leave Pittsburg was that headed by U. W. Oliver, aud which comprised besides Mr. Oliver himself, Chief Brown, of the Department of Public Safety, Chief Bieelow, ot the Department of Pub lie works, James W. Piatt, State Senator Flinn, the famous city contractor, and George "Von Bonnhorst, Recorder of Alle gheny county. Traveled In a Private Car. These gentlemen leit the P. & W. depot in President Oliver's private car promptly at 3 o'clock. Every detail had been arranged for tho trip and the magnificent car had beert plentifully supplied with a larder that embraced everything that could ue crowded upon a modern bill of fare.There were edibles and drinkables galoro and the ' fragrant Havana imported for the occasion was within easy i each. All kinds of literature was scattered about tho car, and arrange ments bad been made so that the party could while away the time with a luscious novel by Ouida, study tho intricacies of the McKinlev bill or refresh their minds with the storv of "Harrison's Four Years In the White House." Before tho special and private train left the Allegheny station eacli member of the partv was asked t!:e question: "Who will be nominated at Minneapolis?'1 ilr. Oliver looked jrmve, and as he turned to one of his companions said: "Blaine, I think." Brown Is for Blaine. Chief Brown laughed pleasantly when asked the question. Finally he answered: "I am for Blaine." Chief Blgelow, looking grave, as is his cus tom, said: "I believe it will be Seuator Al lison." Recorder Von Bonnhorst vras prompt with his reply. lie seemed to have committed it to memory, and, alter looking nnxiouslvat Senator flinn, he said: "lam for Alger first and Harrison second. But the other fellows have promised to be for my man Alger for second place." James W. Piatt was not disposed trdis cuss the question. He said lie was not a delegate, but he Anally submitted: "I think Blaine will be nominated on the first ballot." Senator Flinn was the last of the party to be Interviewed. He is a positive, out spoken Blaine man, at least to the naked eyo, and in lenonse to the query ho said: ' Blaine will be nominated. At least," he added, us a sort ot soothing clause, "I am for lilm." The Oliver party will live In their car while at the convention and thov talked of a tour of the lakes before returning. C. L. Mneeo aud wile left for Minneapolis on the limited last night. Tliey will not be annoyed with guests or friends. Magee Is Still for HarrUon. Mr. Magee is confident that Harrison will b nominated. "I think the President will get there on the first ballot," Mr. Magee said. "I don't think Mr. Blaine will allow his name to go before the convention. In my Judgment the office oT President is too high to be trifled with, and the neople aro dis posed to have no trifling with tlie office or the candidate for the office. Mr. lllaino has said he would not accept the nomination, and with the people ot the country his own word should, and no doubt will, beaccepted. I predict that Harrison will be nominated." Ex-Collector Waitncastle will not go to tbe convention. He was at the Union station last night, however. He said: "Blaine will be nominated on the first ballot." "But will he accept?" wasnskod. "He will bo nominated whether he accepts or not," Mr. Warmcastleanswered. Hon. M, J. Lemon and a party ot 12 friends will leave early this morning for tho con vention. Tlie'PIttsbnrgers liavo arianged for headquarters at Thomas Moore's, Nico lette avenue. Over 100 Plttsburgers will be there.
