WEST SIDE EVENTS.;
Trouble Caused by Spj Workmen.
They Soandad Alarta That Brought
oa Coafusloa and Other Thiol.
Three men who work nights about
a certain colliery not very far from the
city line have a tendency to watch
with their eyes closed. One Is an en
Clneer. another keeps up the firm In
the boiler room, the third sees that
tramps are run oft the place; and all
three are supposed to look out for fire
at the breaker. Last Thursday nlprht
the engineer and fireman were in the
engine house. Suddenly the fireman
awoke from a profound sleep. He
Klanced at the clock, "Great Scott,"
he said. "it'a six o'clock." Whereupon
he hustled to the dangling rope of the
breaker gong and in an Instant the
neighborhood was awakened by a pro
longed toot which blows every morn
ing at o'clock. .
Wlien the engineer heard the gong
he afro awoke with a start and he too
glanced mechanically at the clock.
l-'lve oVloc-k," he yelled, "blow her
fuur times more." 80 he rushed to the
rope and four more toots sounded out
upon the night air.
"it's t o'clock," said the fireman.
"No, It's C o'clock," corrected the
engineer.
They both scrambled nearer the big
timepiece to prove their assertions,
when, shades of confusion! It was but
half-past 12. Imagine their feelings
when In a few moments the miners
gathered around the engine house. A
few had prepared to go to work; others
thought It was tire. Of the latter the
mine loremu.11 was one. lie wa.1 half
dressed and more than half excited.
"Where's- the tire?" he asked hur
riedly. The, mistake was explained.
There was a row and a little Incidental
"llrlng" done. Then the foreman
siarted home. While passing the
bleaker oflloe lie knocked and kicked
at the door. A voice with a yawn-like
tremor answered and after a time the
watchman stuck his head out.
"What's the matter?" he asked Inno
cently. He had not even heard the gong.
WILL RELEASE ASSOCIATION.
The West Bide Hospital association
met last evening. The meeting was
taken up with a discussion of the all
Important hospital site. Mr. Freeman,
the owner nf the building on Washburn
street, which was objected to by certain
residents of the locality, has made a
generous offer to the association. He
will free them from all contract made
with him If the association decides to
adopt another location for the hospital.
The board at last night's meeting ac
cepted the offer and asked for a period
of ten days grace for the purpose of
considering the situation. The asso
ciation, by this action, does not wish
it understood that they have renounced
the Freeman site. To the contrary. If.
after consideration the site Is deemed
preferable, the hospital will be estab
lished there.

Every one who saw "Chlmmle Fad
den" at the Frothlngham on last New
Year's night will readily agree with the
following estimate by Beaumont Fletch
er In the April Uodey's: "As the dram
atist of 'Trilby' made the play deserve
rather the-.im-me 'Svengall,' so lius
'Chlmmle Fadden' almost become 'Mrs.
Murphy' not through the fault of the
author, however, but through the
genius of the Impersonator of Mrs.
Murphy. Sh has taken a small part
not vitally connected with any of the
scenes, not blessed with any speeches
cf Intrinsic Interest, and she has made
of the character a masterpiece of such
Irresistible drollery, such amassing veii
siollltiute. and such fascinating plebel
ante, that the nudience tukes her Into
Its heurt of neurit?. And she Imper
sonates a bibulous, querulous, scurril
ous old Irish woman! From her tirst
appearance at a window over u saloon,
whence she lets dowu a 'growler" with
a- string, the audleuce hangs ecstatic on
her slightest move. The epicurean way
she swirls the beer around in the tin
bucket before she, drinks It, keeps the
eyes o.t the action beneath: her vitu
peration Attic salt; her entry In the
f second act. tlpey and walling with false
bad news of ' hinimie; the gusto With
which she pours her tea out Into the
saucer and shakes It cool; her beau
tlful, flawless disreitntabllity actually
warm the audience's heart like a genial
fireplace. When 1 noted that the lat
ter two acts take place at His Whisk
ers' cummer home, where surely Mrs,
Murphy could not appear, I felt a sense
of real bereavement. When-she does
bathe Fate und come out with Chlrn
nvle's inotlu-r. the audience fairly glows
with delighted welcome. This Is no ex
aggcratlon; her slightest movement, her
least word, Is law to the audience. The
triumph of this stroke of sheer genius
is to be credited to Miss Marie Bates,
an experienced actress whose training
began in the old stock company days,
and has included a tour of Europe as
Topsy In 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' five years
as Abigail Prue In Nell Burgess' 'Coun
ty Fair,' and numberless other roles
whose variety has pclished her art to
perfection. To think for a moment how-
barren the few lines of her part must
have looked on the author's manuscript,
and to consider how she has built it.
broadened it, deepened it, adorned It
and made It life, is to see how much
creation Is really incumbent on an
actor.

According to Hilary Bell, Augustln
Daly will not allow a husband and
wife In his company. Generally con
stdered, marriage is not beneficial to
the art of the stage, and when a gifted
performer takes a husband she usually
Kives up a large share of her populari
ty. This is the argument of Mile. Calve,
and it is tolerably correct in logic. Our
famous Carmen declares that she will
wed no man until she is ready to retire
Into private life. She is betrothed to
M. Cain, author of the libretto o "La
Navarralse." The majority of our dis
tinguished actresses either eschew
.matrimony or escape from Its disasters
as soon as possible. Sarah Bernhardt
Is a widow; so is Eleonora Duse. Melba
Is still In matronly -meditation, fancy
free. Bauermelster Is a maiden. Man-
telll and Brema are widows. Ternlna
has not -yet -chosen a" husband,- and
Marie Engel lately secured a divorce
in order to pursue her art without mar
tial Interference. Lllli Lehman's ad
mlrers found that her husband, Paul
Kallsch, hindered the prima donna's
career. Etelka Gerster might have
been one of the greatest of our present
soprano If she had not married. If
Emma Eames had not been carried into
fashionable society by her union to
Julian Story, she would not have quar
reled with Calve, and might now be
drawing a large salary from Abbey &
Urau. Lillian Russell's last marriage
was a disastrous step. If Yvette Qui!
bert took a husband he would probably
not allow her to sing naughty songs,
and so her fame would dwindle, peak
and pine. Adellna Pattl has emulated
the example of Mis Russell, and Is
now wedded to her second husband.
- II II II. -Miss
Olga Nethersole, tho English
actress, hus been known ever since she
made her first appearance on the stage
as a Arm believer In the theory that the
author of a play knows more about the
business and properties of it than any
one else, says t lie Chicago Times
Herald. Her opinion underwent a slight
chaugewhen rehearsing "Carmen." The
book culls on the heroine to smoke a
sigar.
"I think you'd better not try that.
Miss Nethersole," suggested the stage
manager.
"Indeed I will," was the reply; "give
me a cigar and a match. The author
said Carmen was to smoke a sigar, and
that's whut Carmen is going to do."
Miss Nethersoie's brother Louis fur
nished the cigar a big, black Key West
and the actress lit It.
She took two puffs and her face grew
white. She took a third with deter
mination und then dropped the cigar
und tied to her dressing-room. There
was no more rehearsing that day, and
the performance of the star In the even
ing was not as pood un ustiul.
"Carmen hus ib-iidcd to smoke a
cigarette," buld Miss Nethersole the
next day.

It takes eight sixty-font freight cars
to carry the scenery .costumes and prop
erties of the Irving company. A curi
ous fact came out in the course of the
company's dealings with the custom
house, calling, as they did, for exact de
tailed lists of everything they carried
to be used In the plays. It took seven
teen closely printed typewritten pages
to Invoice them, and they footed up a
total of BI.4M articles, ranging from the
largest "cloths," or back scenes! down
to a "box of long rlny pipes" nnd a pep
per box for "A Story of Waterloo."
Every play Is boxed-separately, and
every article needed for that play kept
apart from even the same articles need

"At Inst," says Footlights, "It has
come. The .omnipresent -hih theater
hat is to be legally battered down!
We have overlooked the evil, now we
may look over it. For a Mr. Fordlck,
of Cincinnati, has Introduced a bill iu
tho Ohio legislature making it a mis
dompsnor ti wear a hat in a theater
while witnessing a performance. The
bill provides a penalty of from 2 to $10
fina. Why women will persist In the
Idiotic habit of wearing a hat to a place'
of amusement la one of the unanswered
problems of modern thought. At the
opera; it is not 'good form' fur a woman
to wear a hat, and so hatless women
are In evidence at the opera. Now.why
the opera any more than any other
place of amusement? And when one
its down and calmly thinks It over leg
islation la wasted In trying to compel
women to appear hatless at a theater.
Threats are. useless, too. The only
way to compel a woman to do a thing
Is for fashion to decree- that thing
Siutre.' Let it be 'bad form' to wear a
hat to a theater and there Uvea not a
woman who has he smallest preten
sion to social recognition who would
dare to go to a theater with a hat on
her head. For fashion rules where dip-
lomacy or fore has proved . of no

- In one of Lole Fuller's dances It la
said she stands upon a large square
of glass that if sunk In the stage; un
derneath are .electric lights of groat
power, which stream through this
glass, and high above her are placed
other lights of equal power, the aa-
ccndlng and descending rays meeting
and Intermingling . with an effect of
wondrous beauty. This Idea is her
own, and Is patented. In another dance,
she forms the figure of a colossal Illy,
the upper edge of. her skirt being at
least fifteen feet from the level of the
stage. In the costume which Is said to
rontaln five hundred yards of material.
the silk when set in motion reaches
ten feet from the body iu each direction.
