RAILROAD NOTES.
It Is calculated that the revenue de
rived by the Pennsylvania from the
transportation of theatrical companies
amounts annually to over $.'00,000.
At a meeting of the board of direc
tors of the New York, 'Susquehanna
and Western the following officers
were elected: A. L. Hopkins, presi
dent; Roswell Eldrldge, vice-president
and treasurer; John Spencer, secretary.
The semi-annual statement of the
Delaware, 'Lackawanna and Western
Mutual 'Aid association for the six
months beginning iMarch 1 of the pres
ent year shows what a grand work this
noble organization Is doing. The asso
ciation has been in existence for over a
decade and during that time has guar
anteed $1,000 insurance to Its 1.400
members for about $3 a year. During
tho past six months J6.SS8.60 was paid
for . deaths and Injuries. There were
Six deaths and In each case the heirs
of the deceased received $1,000. which
was, as a rule, paid within a week after
the death occurred. " As the dues of 25
cents a month keep the treasury well
supplied It was found necessary to call
for only three assessments to satisfy
the six death claims. This rate Is the
largest In the history of the associa
tion, but remarkable to say, the last
three deaths were paid from the sur
plus, and the next claim will also be
satisfied without 'an assessment being
necessary. The experience so far has
been that only one assessment or at
the most two have been necessary In
each year. Id view of the fact that In
surance rates for railroad men are ex
ceptionally high, this organization cer
tainly Is filling a noble mission In sup
. plying railroad men with insurance at
rates that are not only not exhorbltant,
but. In fact, cheaper than can be got
ten by any class of men In any Insur
ance company. One significant fact in
connection with the cheapness of this
association's Insurance in the running
expenses, which were $296.60 for the
last six months, which amount includes
the salaries of officers, printing, sta
tionery and hall rent.

tion of t.he season U't the .Academy of

corded a reputation by the press as a

und In witnessing; any of Mr. San

up to the standard of excellence.
. Jolly Nellie Mcllenry In her latest
cycle come ly success, "The ISIcycle
Girl." by Mike Widf. of New York Life,
Is the attraction at the Academy of
Music Wednesday evening, it would
be extremely ildllcult to bring to mind
a more Jolly little lady on the stage
than Nellie Mcllenry, who .has held i
warm place In it he affections of the
amusement public so long. Whatever
she undertakes she does with proper re
gard lor the most rigid propriety for her
audience. Mies iMcitlenry has strength
ened her compuny, offering many op
portunltles for the Introduction of the
new woman, catchy songs, pretty
dances, original music and new and
novel specialties.
e
The cleverest thing Gus dlepge, the
popular dialect star, has ever done Is
said to be his latest chatacterlzatlon of
the Imperturbable Swede In his new
plav, "A Yenulne Yentleman," which
wili be given at Ithe Academy of Music
Thursday evening. iMaiiy compliment
ary things were said of IMr. Heege's
latest creation upon the occasion of Its
Initial production In Brooklyn last .May.
It Is an elaborate scenic production as
well as an exceedingly amusing com
edy. The Tavary Grand Opera company
has been engaged for the Frothlngham
and It Is only fair to state that with
out exception It Is the most complete
muslcul organization ever seen nere.
The oatrot.s of the grand opera in this
cMy have a treut In store for them
which unfortunately Is comparatively
rare. There nre many opera compa
nies, but far elaborateness of detail
Und completeness this one excels them
all. 'At the hi-ud of It is Marie Tavary.
Her repertoire la endless and her rich
gifts, vocal and histrionic, are seen and
heard at their best now, surrounded
as y.he Is by admirable artists. The
great French tenor. Chevalier Albert li.
Gullle, heads the list of male singers.
The King of (Portugal knighted him at
the Royal Opera J louse in Lisbon, and
his great sucefss In London at Covent
Garden and in Paris, has not spoiled
him. Mine. Thea Dorre, the mezzo
soprano prima donna. Is a cha.rmilng
woman and a sterling artist. Her Car
men Is something 41 markable. THIle.
Llchter is a young soprano whose work
has been more than favorably com
mented on by critics. Mme. Bella Tom
llns. the leading contralto, ihas a great
European reputation and her Azucena
in Trovatore Is a great piece of work.
Sofia Romanl and Suzanne Ityane are
antlats possessed or beautiful voices
and great histrionic talent. Sig.
Mlchelena Is also a fine tenor and his re
ception in the great mu:dc centers Is
always most cordial. Payne Clurk, the
favorite tenor robusto, Is also with the
company, doing admirable work. Max
Eugene, the great English baritone,
makes his American debut this year.
For years he was with the Cnrl Rosa
company. Slg. AbramofT, the flnent
of ba.isos: 'William Sohuster, a capital
artlft, and William Stephens, who pos
sesses a wonderfully sweet voice, are
among others who g i to make up this
remarkable organization. That such
an expensive company lo every way
can afford to play to popular prices
seems marvelous Indeed, but Mr. lYatt
Is a manager who knows how to make
both ends meet. Opera is his life
fttudy and hp has managed the tours
of Emma Abbott, Clara Louise Kellogg
ana .Atir.a ioule I nry. The Tavary
company Is greater than anv. Gn the
opening night, I.Monday, Sept. 2.'!, with
a cuist including all the nbove favorites,
there will lie a grand production of
"Faust."
e
This afternoon a three days' engage
ment of "The Prodigal Father" opens
at Davis' theater. It hus new fun
makers, new specialties, and the latest
songs itnd parodies serve lo make the
funny farre. now In Its fourth year,
fresh anrl more interesting than ever.
Since its Inst appearance in this section
of the country "The Prodigal Father"
has been altered from a straight com
edy Into a rollicking and Jovial farce
comedy. A number of clever vaude
ville stars have been ndded to the cast
and the comedy Is more than ever up-to-date.

They were not represented by counsel.
