FETE WILL mSE TON Mi 11 T.
There Waslii Good Attendance Last Night,
Though a l ew of tlio Scats Were I'ltae
cu pied -I'rngra mine forfonlnht.
The extreme cold weather probably
accounted for the fact that lust night's
kirmesg audience did not completely
till the Frothingliain theater. How
ever, the unoccupied seats had nearly
till been sold and the Home for the
Friendless will not be much of a loser
on account of the cold. As has been
said of each preceding performance
that of last night was "the best of nil."
This statement has been truthfully
made from day to duy and is readily
understood from the fact that the dun-
cers Improve with experience. So
those who are fortunate enough to se
cure seats for tonight will have the
pleasure of seeing the best night of all,
although all huve been good.
The programme consiscted of four
teen numbers and contained two chil
dren's dances. It was as follows: Mir
ror dance and dance of the troubadours,
tableau and procession. Japanese dunce,
Tyrolean peasant dance, dance of the
follies, dance of the flowers and bees,
Corsican saltorellu, drill of the Napoleon
guards. Spanish caciiuca, serpentine
dance, French court minuet and ga
votte, military dance, dance of the
Venitlan gondoliers, procession and
tableau.
Election Returns Will lie Oivcn.
Tonight promises to be one of the star
nights of the fete. While It is not an
ticipated that the election will in any
way affect the audience It is proposed
to give the election returns by wards.
These announcements will be made
from the stage and In such a manner
that the audience may be as well In
formed of the result as would be the
case in either of the political headquar
ters. Without this feature the attendance
would probably be as greut as on anv
preceding night, certainly such ought
to be the case, judging; from the follow
ing very complete programme: Mir
ror dance and dance of the troubadours,
(the serenade, the rehearsal, the sur
prise, dance of the peasants); tableau
and procession, carnival dunce, horn
pipe dunce (Juvenile), skirt dance (ju
venile). Corsican saltorella, dance of
the follies, Tyrolean peasant dance,
serpentine dance. French court minuet
and gavotte, Spanish cachui a, military
fiance, tambourine (gypsy) dance of
Riitimania, procession.
Articles Will He Sold.
After the dancing the donated arti
cles remaining unsold will be sold at
miction to the highest bidders. The
voting contests, which will decide what
chaperones and which specialty per
former or singer are to possess the cut
glass articles, will be decided.
The .same rules that apnlied to the
selling of tickets for lust night's per
formance will be true of tonight. From
9 to 11 o'clock this morning the box of
llce will lie open only to the holders of
exchange tickets, and after 11 o'clock
any person may reserve seats, boxes
and loges. '
No little compliment has been be
stowed upon the very clever leading of
the marches and the other good work
of Harry Newman, and it is unfortu
nate on this account, if for no other,
that certain report in connection with
his uiipeurance should be falsely circu
lated. It hus been said thut he'ref used
to appear as court Jester unless for a
compensation. This is not true, lie
has not asked or suggested that he be
paid. He ci formed the same duties
so satisfactorily during last yeur's kir
mess thut the present management sev
eral weeks ago requested him to ap
pear this year. He was obliged, to de
cline on account of pressing business
und personal demands. The managers
unwillingly acquiesced in the matter
and It was forgotten until after the
first night's performance, when It was
seen that a court jester was absolutely
necessary. On this account, and
though it seriously Inconvenienced him,
Mr. Newman gave the kirmess his ser
vices. The very artistic and complete pro
grammes of the kirmess was compiled
and designed by II. Jules Maillotix, and

t'OUIXti ATTRACTION'S.
One illstlnKUlshed peculiarity of Annum,
the wonderful Impersonator of the Troc
aderu 1'iiudcvllles. Is his remarkable tm
eess In compressing or expanding hli
body so us to follow the physical trend
of the chareters hr impersonates. The
Instant he faces I hi audience in such char
acters as Napoleon or lieiierul Harrison,
he manages to give an exuet imitation of
their physical peculiarities, mode or stand
ing and gestures. The peculiarity of lieii
erul Han Hun's bearing when before the
public Is most fall hf ally delineated. Dur
ing the past summer Aniunii hud fre
quent opportunities lo witness Mr. Wil
ton Luckaye's remarkable Impersonation
of "Sveiiijali" in the play of 'Trilby"
and lie Is making a feuture of It during
the present season. Jt Is even more weird
nud typical than the actor's conception.
The 'i'rucailero Vaudevilles, w ith the peer
leys Sandow at the head, will be ul the

"My Wife's Friend," a bright comedy
written bv Fred. .Marsden, and Inter
polated by William C. Andrews and a
company of metropolitan light comedians,
will lie seen ut the Academy of Musk: to
nlght. The play might have ben French
or I'.nglisn, you know, but It is not. It is
purely American, but following the for
elun school which of late has been the fad.
Can anyone Imagine a touch of "HoKe

youth is quite gay, and the girls well we
all admit thai Jersey Is famous for peach

Of nil the works that Paul M. Potter has
dramatized, his "Trilby" Is the great
est. It is great in more senses than one.
It is great ill that he out-illil Du Muiiri
er, the HUtlior of the great novel. He has
done his work well. He has never reached
a higher plane of excellence. He -wus in
perfect accord with Du .Maurier, caught
absolutely the spirit of the book, knew
thoroughly the characters, und made not
a mistake bit presenting them 111 action.
His dramatization Is unique in the sense
that he makes Trilby leave Utile Hillee,
not in a sell-sacrltlclng way or because
she promised to do so. but liecnuse she
wants to. lie puts the heroine complelely
tinder the mesmeric influence of Hvangali,
and, if anything, by so doing Improves the
development of the plot. Considering the
fact that A. M. Palmer has put one of his
greatest companies In the piece, and that
It Is superbly stuged by William A. Brady,
It should prove to be the most memorable
production ever seen at the Academy cf
Music, where It will be seen on Wednes
day and Thursday evenings and Thursday
afternoon. This Is positively the only visit
of "Trilby." All should take this oppor.
tunllv of seeing the beautiful Play admir
ably 'acted by a company of first-class

That Mn and Mrs. Fowler

THEY ARE PICTl RES OF HEALTH
But the Time Was When They and Their Chil
dren Saw Little Chance for Llfe-A Qreat
Remedy to the Rescue of the Family.
At Mechanlcsvllle. N. Y.. midway be
tween the Chninpialn cannl anil the
Hudson river, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Fow
ler live. Mr. Fowler is a prosperous
painter and as healthy and hearty a
looking man as one usually sees. Mrs.
Fowler Is a tine specimen of woman

at any time In danger. Vet not only
Mrs. Fowler, but her husband also,
would both have lost their lives had
not the Hemedy been handy. They
were recently visited, and when their
former trouble was referred to Mrs.
Fowler said:
"Yes. my life was saved In the man
ner you heard. I consider Dr. Acker's
F.nglish Hemedy one of the greatest
benefits to mankind. But for It 1 would
have been dead lonir ago.
hix years ago l was taken down
with a severe attack of bronchitis
und lung trouble. Tho pain In my
chest and lungs was terrible. I could
scarcely move, and stooping was so
painful as to be out of the question. 1
was persuaded to try Dr. Acker's F.ng
lish Kemedy, and after taking one bot
tle I was greatly relieved, and the pain
nearly left me. The second bottle cured
me permanently.
"We always give it to the children
when they huve a cough or cold," added
Mrs. howler, "and we would not be
without it for anything. My sister, ns
well as myself, have found out that it
is a irrand cure fur coughs, colds and
pneumonia. Hosts of friends around
us know of It on our recommendation.
It cures all of them."
The above sounds like a very remark

warm words of praise from thousands
of others.
UOLOR ED PEOPLE CAN ACT.
Company of Them (Jive Old Tennessee
at Davis Theater Yesterday.
After the first act of "Old Tenncsee."
which played at Davis' theater yester
day, the applause of the audience com
pelled a re-lifilng of the curtain. The
show Is a good one. It serves among
other things to prove what colored peo
ple can do in the way or furnishing an
entertainment. F.rnest Ilogan, a col
ored man, Is tin actor of more than or
dinary merit. The Ringing is of the
genuine plantation variety, and as
dancers, some of th mule members of
the company are hard to equal. Ev
erything was given with surprising
realism.
The scuffle of "t'ncle Pete," Mr. Ho-
gan, and the villain "Stoeorone," c, H.
('line, was natural to an exceptional de
gree. There is an interesting pbjit in
the play, and the Incidentals, such ns
the "Abolition Club," etc., are very
well arranged. The performance will
repay a visit. Il will be repented to
night and tomorrow night with daily
matinees.
