"A Temperance Town" bumns up against n. pood many prejudices beside the oneaiuied at by the play. You cannot help noticing that Mr. lloyt's lntest production is tackling a pretty large problem in morals; this ethi cal element looms up so big in every scene that it is impossible to consider the plav chiefly, as I believe most plays should be considered, as an en tertainment. Mr. lloyt probably would disclaim any serious attempt to solve the liquor question, and he pointed out to mevestcrday that lie isn't responsible for preference shown by the audience Tor the 'law-breakers and sinners against the high natural law of temperance. Mr. lloyt con tends that he has put in the mouth of the clergyman lots ot strong lines in favor of law, human and divine, and it is a fact that tne logic ot man v of the situations is strong ly in the prohibitionist's tavor. Bat it seems to me that Mr. Hovt lias built his play so as to throw the moial of sometimes mistaken zealots always into the shadow and to biing the saloonkeeper and the collection or old pnaks as Jnr as possible into the light. And the offensiveuess of this will strike even the most liberal. If tno plav had not such an evident purposo there would be little cause to inquire into, mnch less to condemn, the morality or "A Temper unco Town." It is lair also to say that the morality is not all wrong: incidentally Mr. lloyt not onlv paints the drinking mans pood points in'true colors, but also gives a well-deserved whack to the quacks and humbugs among so-called refonneis. The play, considered aside from morality, is likely to be set down as the cleverest Mr. Iloyr has written. He certainlr can paint the American, especially the American of "ew England, with striking fidelity. Take each man and woman in a "Temperance Town" and you will find tho character con sistently drawn, and, while idiosyncrasies may be exasperated, tho truth of the typo remains. It is one of Mr. lloyt's favoiito as sertions that he doe not invent characters, but draws them Irom the world about him. As a portrait painter, with all his tendency to caricatuie. Mr. Hoyt to my mind has not his equal in America. Some of The Dispatch's readers may not have seen "A Temperance Town," and tho following brief resume or the story is given for their benefit, that they may judge in part of the moral it contains: An old cler gyman in a Vermont village wages war with the liquor seller in the place. He is actuated by a sincere conviction that drinking is wrong, but that conviction had its origin in the loss or a beloved eon, as it appears, through liquor. Assist ing the parson are several rosues who make their zeal in. prohibition's cause a cloak ror private schemes for gain. The saloon keeper is an old soldier who lost one arm in battle. His child is sick and the clergy man's daughter sends good things to the ail ing little one. She also sends a warning in the same box with the thinss for the child of the raid upon the saloon her father and tne other prohibitionists iie planning. The warning letter falls into one of the latter's hands and the clergy man turns his daushter out of doors because she 'will not express contrition for her sin. The stern father, who Mr. Hoyt wants us to believe really loves his daughter, after this noble perform ance cheerfully trots ou" to deliver a temper ance lecture at chuich. The audience hears a bit of this lecture wherein the drinking man is described as a brute, while it sees the -village drunkard nick up the clergyman's daughter as she lies fainting in the snow ut9ide the church and carry her to his home. This climax, wibug as it may be morally, is effectn e enongh dramatically, and Mr. Hoyt makes a mistake in capping it with the uproariously laughable discom fiture of the temperance people who fall over the treadle left on tho chuich steps. In the last act the saloonkeeper is brought up for trial on tho charge of Iiquor-selllntr and convicted. He is ju.st being fined $6,000 od-1 dollars, w ith an alternative ot 00 yeat s' imprisonment, when the son of thepro-ecut-ing clergyman, supposed to be dead, turns up a rich man and i-ecognizts intheone cruied saloonkeeper the man who saved his life in battle. Tiio prodigal son pays tho $6,000 fine without flinching. The old clergy man, of course, melts, takes back son and daughter and the plav ends. The audience having laughed heartily and enjoyed all the storj goes away with u rather hazy notion that there is a moral in th plav somewheie. I conlcss I can't tell what the moral is exactlv; it may be that one-armed veterans have aright to defy the law that others have not; it maybe that crank-ridden communities are no more moral than otheis: or it may lc that chanty covers a multitude of sins. Tho last as I take it would be Mr. Hoyt's choice, though lie disclaims any pretense at preaching. It 5s the first play Mi. Hovt has wilttou that 1 as made people think. He has glorified hitherto iu w ritlng plays expressly to keep people irom thinking. The chief satisfac tion to him doubtless Is that as a play "A Temperance Town" is a marked success. Mi. Hoyt will please a great many people if he ill cut out that highly-seasoned joke about- acquaintance with the Deity, and about half a dozen expletives beginning with D . It is not the best thing In the world to put a clergyman and a church into :i comedy anyhow, but Mr. Hoyt can make jokes so rwidlly upon mundane affairs that he cau afford to leave celestial matters alone. The use ot the "d " in plays is be coming verv common, Out it is none the less reprehensible lor one it pleases it offends twenty. Ihere is another feature of "A Tcmper nnco Town's" performance which is deserv ing of attention. Mr. lloyt's skill in select ing actors to create his characters is a good piecoofthe secret of his success. To bo snie Mr.Cnnfieid is tho loutish boy of "A Midnight Bell" over again, and George liichards is the tame countryman Mr. Hoyt is so fond of Oelineatlng. and they are both verv good. But tho gems or the piece In the acting way are tno two bits of'char sictor done by George Obei. As the oldest inhabitant and country judge Mr. Oher gixes two entirely -different creations, both overflowing with funand delicious' detail of character study. Dixey at tneDuquesne. Adonis Dixey, as those who like the grace ful comedian delight to call him.has strayed long ci.ough from wo primroso paths of comic opc:a and extravaganza, nml it is welcome news that when ho comes to tho Duqucsno Theater this week ho will appear nsor.rto la "The Mascot." It is said lor Mr. Dixey timt lie wakes -Lorenzj alegitiinate ciiiicdv role, taking liis cue Irom tho ori-i'ial creation. Delicate comedy in comic opera is so seldom met with that Mi. Dixey may rest assured that he will get nilthe cncouragemenhe deserves in this impersonation. It is"j-ald that one of tho in et Mirinisiug depauurcs to-be noted by old thentei-goers whcnJJIxov makes -hlsiip-perance at the Dniineslfe Theater Monday ni"!it, will bo hi make-up of Lo'tnzt. Tho etiagjrlln whiskers aim the stoutness of it evlons "impersonations nro conspicuous i.y their absence, and instead one f-ccs an agcdainl involous aristocrat who is none the less effective as a comedy creation bc canc lie affects n certain air of seriousness. But Mr. Oirrey will not be tiio w hole show by a long shot. Miss Juliet Cordcn is well remembered here ft a charming slmrer, vilbc conrano voice gave largo promise some i eats ago. Then there Is i agliapietni, Fred Lennox and a half dozen others or s.mio note, who complete a company that I.x.ks as if it shout'' je fully equal to tho- rei 'r " JH Mascot." As for ; . itself It would bo decidedly a needless nndot taking at this day totellanv theater-goer what its merits are. Audran's music Is full of pretty conceits, and the way somo of the wings have lived shows that thoy must pos sess genuine niolodv of an unusual valine. The story Is pastoral and plavful In Its un loldlng. It is stated that "Patlonce" mav bo put on toward the end of the week. This favorite work of Gilbert & Sullivan "would be greatly appreciated in a revival now, I feelsuie. The Alvin's Novelty. " Tho novelty of tho week will bo thaflrst representation in this city of tho latest comedy success, "The Family Circle," tho Joint woik of Alexandre Bisson, author, of "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows," and Sydney Rosenfeld, author of "Tho Senator" and other successful plays, at tho Alvln Theater. Tho plot of the play is mainly influenced by a prying old meddler, who does all in his power to prevent a young man from wedding tho voung girl ho adores. In fact he charges tho lover with -u past" In which he has killed his wife. These gloomy hints are laughed at anil tho wedding takes place, but presently, the brldo's parents are so excited br the obstinate adherence or the 'old meddler to his story that they dotennino to watch the husband, and with tat end in view, lollow the bridal party to Newport. Then, of course, circumstances arise that point to tho trntu of the charge against the allogcd wifo slayer, and the patents are kept constantly in agony with tne rear that their daughter w ill meet tho awful fate of her predecessor. The usual perplexities and game of cross purposes lollow until, in duo season, every thing is explained, and tno old meddler meets with general abu-e and .the curtain Ulls finally on n scene ot happiness restoi ed. It will bo presented bv a cast of undoubted merit, including such w ell-known plavers as W. II. Thompson, Frank Burheck, Thomas Burns, Harrv Mills, Adolph Bernard, Kate .Meek, Nanette C-mistock. Leua Mervillc, Kate Mayhow and Grace Stewart. It will be preceded by n one-act play, "Young Love's Dream ." n. dramatization of Charles Dickens' great story.

A New Tarce Comedy. Noveltie3arein order all around the town, and the Grand Opera House offers as its con tribution the farce comedy, "A Uailroad Ticket," which has never been seen hero before. It is said to be a rattling, romping farce, and elsewhcro has tickled tho popular taste. Tho house and grounds of J. II. i Oashcr, a real estate maniac, form tho scene ot tho first act. Mr. dasher has a largo tract of land surrounding his premises. This land ho has caused to be subdivided, and In order to make tho lots mote s.ilable the en terprising dealer in realty secures a rain machine, with which he proposes to ti cat the purchasers or his, lots to occa sional showers. Three prospective pui chasers make their appearance and are told in most glowing terms of the beauties ot tho lots. Their attention is attracted to the water tower, and they are given a shower bath which comes rrom a watering pot skillfully manipulated at the top of the tower. Tho second and third acts are a combination railroad ticket broker's office and cigar store. Jicbert Tickets is the pro prietor of the establishment, and is ably as sisted by an incorrigible youth named Chips, and llessie Shorthand, Ins typewriter. The dancing and singing are said to be very taking and the company contains some clovec people. Ilarry WUllains' Academy. Fields & Hanson have long been known as among the greatest of musical teams who visits our city. They have branched out for themselves, however, and have gotten - to gether a company of vaudeville stars who have been playing to crowded houses in a number of the Eastern vaudevillo theaters. Manager Williams with his usual loiesight secured thorn earlyin the season for a week's engagemout at his popular amusement house. The press of . other cities speak highly of tho perloiman'ce. In the company will be found the lollowing: .Lang and Sharpe, the comedy artists: Barron and For rest, the vocalists and change artists; Mr. J. W..CampbeIl; the three Marveiles, the great, grotesques: Spencer and Tuigg, the very clever Irish comedians; J. V. Kelly, the roll ing mill man; Eldora, tne wouderlul Juggler and equilibrist; Cunningham and Grant, the knock-about comedians: William Mitchell and Claudio Lorrain, the great comedy duo; Jules Koller, Al Eeoves, tho banjoist, and the lamous comedians, Fields and Hanson. Harry Davis Eden JIusee. For weeks past Harry Davis has been fur nishing some extraordinary entertainments for his patrons. To many It has been a wan der how he could afford togive"sucli a class of performance for the amount of admission charged. For this week, however, ho has surpassed all his previous efforts. By special request he has le engaged the gypsies for another week. They have proved to be a gieat card and made quite a nit tellinz the fortunes or ladles riee. They will continue this week to attract attention to the eurio hall. Another big uovolty will be tne appearance in the theater or McAndiews' great London min strels. The organization is made up or some of the cleverest black face comedians in the country. Among the com- pany are the Quartette Brillante, lour voices of wonderful power; J. W. McAudrews, who stands alone m his great specialty, "The Watermelon Man;" Williams and Lorve, song nnd dance artists of nnusual capabil ity; Emlle Cheveriel, a comedian and mu sician, who entertains with numeioas musical instruments and amusing flashes of wit and humor, and Keating and Ardell, wonderful musical comedians. The other attractlons oi the curio hall will be Mabel Milton, the long-haired beauty, whose locks reach down to ner reot; Saunders, the fam ous chalk artist. His rapidity in producing romantic, rural and comic pictures with colored chalks excite wonder. "World's aiuseum-TIieater. The drama put on at this house last week proved to popular that this week another of tho same sort is to bo tried. Joseph D. Clifton and Louise Agnott, the charming snubrette, will npnear this week in "Myrtle Ferns," described as a comedy melodrama. The sensational effects will include a real istic water scene, in which Mr. Clifton's wondertul mechanical boat will be shown. The full couipiny will al-o appear.

Captain Carl, the cowboy artist, will give to every lady on Friday afternoon abeaulitul hanu-fUinted souvenir. Wild Burt and Little Sure Shot will give an exhibition of marksmanship. Harris' Theater. To-morrow afternoon the "Shadow Detec tive." with Dan. A. Kelly in the leading role, will commence a week's engagements Har ris' Theater. The melodrama and star have uotli been seen in. Pittsburg berore. "The Shadow Detective" has been re-written since it was played here last season, and hus been materially strengthened by the intro duction of a number of sensational effects. One or the thrilling scenes in the play shows two locomotives dashing toward acli other at the rate of 50 miles an hour. This effect has never been tried on the stage belore', nnd- the machinery lequired for it is of a ponder ous nnd complex character. Mr. Kelly has surrouuded himself w ltti a good company. Personal Comment. . Tom Moses, the well-known scene-painter, is touching up tho scenery singed in' "the fire at the Alvin Theater last summer.. By way of diversion, one day last week he painted asceno for "Alvin Joslyn,",shbwiug a wide view of tho East river front of New York, witn tho llrooklyn Bridge in the fere ground. It Is a rcallv artistic landscape, and will prove most effective lit up at night. The vellow moonlight haze is cupitull-reproduced. Tho extraordinary part of It is that Mr. Moses took four hours only to paint it. Talking or scenery I remarked to Mr, Moses on tho Alvin paint bndgo yes terday, that a clever effect was to be seen in the snow-covered landscape, under the moonlight, in "ATemperanco Town." "Xhu lights of the vlllago are clusteied in the middle distance. Mr. Mo-ea udmitted the ellcctlvenoss of tho Idea, but objected that the lights In the houses were not in proper perspective or proportlon.and that It struck him us odd that the cliurcn should he about two miles away irom the village, as lc surelv was according to the scene painter. It tifkcs an artist to criticise an nrtlst. Mr. Hoyt, the playwright, dropped in ror the last two days ot "A Temperance Town." His wile, tho charming Flora Walsh, and. her mother acco-npanied him. Success has not spoiled a fraction of Mr. Hoyt, and ho exemplifies in his life the truth of tho, sar ins that an extraordinary appetite for worfc constitutes genius. Do you think Mr. lloyt is making liionuj? His four plays on thu road on Friday night, plavod to receipts' jiveraging in every case over $900. - There ougtr? to be some way of protecting managers of theaters rrom such ill-tieat-mentas Manager Wilt sustained last week. He did all he could to bring "Bulls nntl Bears" on irom Baltimore, bpt it ullcgcd responsible manager, who had all along as sured Mr. Wilt the comnauy would get through, quietly fell down at the last m THE ment.Mr. 1VIU deserved more sympathy than ho got, nnd yet sympathy to any extent won't pay bills. The Voiidetftil business Joseph Murphy did last week with his well-worn plays at the Alvin surprlsod a good many people. It is the best sort of evidence tli.it the Alvin Theater is riding into Easy Street, as the bovs say. Tho Exposition helps the theaters beyond a doubt. Tho crowds of country people at all the theaters .last week conclusively es tablish this fact. Tho" Exposition is offering big counter attractions to the excursionists also. Miss Kaymond Is'far and away the best cometlst of her sex who has been heard here. Per haps her presence helps her, and her pleas ant face. It does not appear to be pain to hor to plav the brass instrument either," as it seems to be to some.

Gilmour at the head. The new Rosenfcld comedy "Imagina tion," will begin an encasement of one week at the Alvin Monday, October 24. Among the enrrent writers or comedy for the stago Mr. Bosenfold may bo ciassed among the best. His lines are alwavs original, seldom pointless. "Imagination" is said to be n first rate example or him at his best. As may be inferreu Horn tho title, '-Imagination" is not a play of the serious older. The Manola-JIason Company is meeting with success throughout the East. John Ma-on and Marion Manoln seem to have made hits in the parts written for them. Thev are rrodnclng a new thiee-act comedy entitled "If I Were You," written bv Will iam Young, and a dramatic ana operatic production named "Diana," wiitten by Svd ney Kosenfeld and composed by Julian Ed wards.

She is a GIrton girl seriously intellectual, not a bluster king, yet with affections and weak nesses of women. Mrs. Langtry will have ample opportunity in her part to display beautiful gowns. Mr. Rose said he wiote the play a long time ao. It was not writ ten to Mrs. Langtry's order but he had her in his mind for the titlu role when he wrote it. Much has been written concerning the care that Henry Irving bestows upon any play that he thinks w orthy of production at his theater, but it is not generally known that he often-personally rehearses an actor in the part alloted to him until the aetor becomes perfect In his lines. Mr. Irving has several times expended between J3J.0JO ahdSiO.OOOonanlay beforo the curtain was raised u thu first night. Ho carries his ideas of realism tosuch an extent that he will have tho stage covered with powdered salt toshow lootprints in snow. He has even had expensive hothouse grapes placed on the'stago so that nothing should be wanting in tho picture. It is as much one man can do to attend to the helmets, swords, coats of armor and other accoutrements required at the Lyceum Theatre. A. G. DOM.AP writes from New lork: At tho Garden Mme. Helena Modjeska em ployed a role new to her and one which had not ,been acted in New York by anybody since-1874. iThls was Katharine of Arrogonln Shakespeare's very dull play, "KiugHeiuy VIIL,' V part associated in theatrical hls toty'with -materially powerful actresses, like-Fanny Keinble mid Charlotte Cusliman. There was a snecial curiosity to see whether Modjeska's ln"ck or physical lorce would prevent her , achieving uu artistic success, but she did. Tho subtloty and surencs or her acting sufficed. Of course, her other wise"nlultless elocution whs greatly niai-rod by her, foreign accent and listeners had to be intent in order to get the full meanings of her utterances.

There is nothing more convincing than tho direct porsonal testimony of people who can have no interest in saying auht but what is wholly and exactly true. Tho man or set of men who can como be fore tho public backed with the indorsement of persons who nro known and respected in the community in which they live, whose veracity or whose motives cannot be im peached or Impugned, have but to produce these indorsements to show tho confidence and esteem with which they are regarded by thdse who know' them. Week after week Dra. Copeland, Hall and Byers present to tho people of Pittsburg testimonials in their favor of snch high charnctor as to not only leave no doubt of their professional skill and ability, but of their personal worth and standing. As a rule they rest their cate with the preentation or this evidence. It speaks for itself, nnd is irrefutable and unassaila ble. There is a prejudice ngainsfcphvsictnns who advertise which is sometimes very diffi cult to remove. But after the public has tested such physicians, after the physicians have proved their claim to public confi dence and esteem, this prejudice vanishes like mist betorn the morning sun. Thero is no class of men moru worthy of bcllerthan mlnister-i or the gospel. Clergy men will not indorse a man or system that is unworthy or indorsement. 1 he calling r sucli gentlemen sre.iBS nt once for their truth and sinceritv. Clenrvmet. all over the Uultod States havo indorse 1 the Cope land system and the good work of Dr. Cope land and his associates. . r. Copeland, Hall nnd Byers point proudly to words of prai-e that i.avo been spO!.en bv members of the cloth, and who havo pnnllcly given their testimonials o that all those who are in doubt as to the character, the ability or the trustworthi ness ot the physicians of the Corol.md sj s tcm can retcrto them for an indorsement. Among tho ministers who have given hearty testimonials are the following: Rev. E. .Morse, of the National Lecture Bureau. Rochester. N. Y. Kev. Henry C. Knott, German Reformed Church, 495 Fourth St., Milwaukee. Rev. .i. W. Ashwood.Grand Avenue United Presbyterian Church. St. Louis. Rev. J. W. Mitchell, Tailor Street Meth odist Episcopal Church.

Fhst Church Evangeli cal Association, Buffalo, N.Y. Nothing but a benevolent reason could in duce such men to appear in print in nny matter outside of their rcrunr vocation, and it is bojond question that it wassimpiy benevolence, a conscientious belief in tl.e skill of these phsiciaiis, a conviction that they were doing good nnd that the public should know what they are accomplishing, that caused these gentlemen to make their statements. ' A Local Instance. A patient who began treatment with Drs. Copeland, Hall nnd IJyprs a tew days ago, sta-es that she was advised bv her pastor to place herself ntnler their treat ment. Sho infoimed the Father that some persons opposed their treatment, but ho in sisted on her coming, nnd told her to pay no attention to what people said, for he hail i" vestignted the treatment of Drs. Copeland. Hatland Byers.and knew what good they wero accomplishing. As this reverend gentleiimn is personally unknown to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Brers, hecoald 1-avo no other motive in indorsing them nnd their method or tioitmcnr. ex cepting lor the benefit of his parishioner.
