AMUSEMENTS.
The sale of seats for "A Texas Steer,"
the Thanksgiving attraction at the
Academy of Music opens this morn
ing. There Is a breezlness and Invig
orating quality in "A Texas Steer" that
gets away from conventional. Almost
the entire theater-going public is fa
miliar with this lively comedy and the
deft way in which Mr. Hoyt handles
his characters. The company this sea
son is promised as one of the best that
has ever appeared In this most laugh
able political satire and includes Will
HandeVllle, one of the cleverest com
edians now before the public, who will
be seen as Mayerick Brander, while
Will H. Bray will be seen In his original
character of Christopher Columbus, Jr.,
Flshback; John T. Craven, Miss Stella
Kinney, Miss Adelade Sawyer and a
number of others prominent in the pro
fession. '
"A Romance of Coon Hollow," which
will be seen at the Academy of Music
Thursday, Nov. 26, has .some of the
most exquisite scenery on the road. The
first act reveals an autumn view of a
typical southern plantation, with sun
set and moon-light effects, and contains
a splendid electrical display. The sec
ond act is a fac-simlle of "Coon Hol
low," a rugged glen in the Tennessee
hills, painted from sketches made on
the spot, and is made sensational by
a strong and thrilling climax. The
third act shows a wood landing on the
Mississippi, and night view of the fa
mous Lee-Natchez steamboat race, the
boats being lighted up and under full
head of steam, The last act Is given
to an actual cotton press in operation,
and is thrillingly dramatic. Matinee at
2.Z0 p. m. and evening performance at
H o'clock.
The costumes worn by Marie Edith
Rice in the fourth act of "Jim the
Penman," In fact throughout the en
tire play, are creating much attraction
and favorable comment in all the cities
In which she has appeared this sea
son. The play and part assumed by
Miss Rice, Nina, affords ample scope
for the display of a rich and costly
wardrobe, and certainly she avails her
self of the opportunity. Throughout the
course of the play she makes no less
than six cemplete changes. Her cos
tumes were all designed by her and
made by Blanke, of New York city,
and stand as a monument to the mod
iste's skill. The proverbial curiosity,
and usual admiration displayed by the
ladles when the question of dres9 is
considered, is In Itself sufficient evlv
dence that the Academy of Music Fri
day, Nov. 27, will be crowded during
engagement of "Jim the Penman," not
to mention the extra inducement offered
in the inestimable value of the play
Itself.

RAILROAD NOTES.
Engineer James J. Duffy, accompanied
by Mrs. Duffy, left yesterday for Chicago,
where they will visit for two weeks.
The new Kailroud Young Men's Chris
tian association building project Is nut
dead; neither is It sleeping. The promot.
ors are leaving no stone unturned to for
ward the movemont and It Is confidently
hoped that the new building will be a
reality before 1S97 Is many months old.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern clerks have got the foot ball fever
quite as bad as they had "wheels" on the
national game. Two teams have been
organized and a game Is booked for
Thanksgiving Day.
Audit the visit to hls city of R. Oshlma
general manager of the largest railway
system In Japan, the following may bi
of interest: ' The fact that American lo
comotives have already made a record
for themselves in Japan has been widely
published and commented upon. It Is now
reported that in a recent test between
Kngllsh and American locomotives the
Baldwin engine. mad) nt Philadelphia,
pulled 2W44 tons over the Yotemha hill and
did it with such ease that one of the Ja
panese engineers offered to pull n much
heavier loud with a sister locomotive. In
fact, the Amerlcsn engine did finally haul
22 tuns, exclusive of the weight of the
locomotive and tender, to within a few
miles of the top of tho Incline. The Eng
lish locomotive attempted to hnul 2'JO tons
over the hill and failed, although assisted
on the most ditlicult part of the grade by
another engine. The ICnglish louomotlve
next hauled a train having one car less
over the hill, but with every particle of
her power expended, the throttle wide
open, the reverse lever on the last notch
and 100 pounds of steam. The Baldwin en
gine then hauled the same twenty cars
and two more added to tho top of the Yo
temba grade and did it with 130 to 140
pounds of steam and the reverse lever on
the fifth notch." Mr. Oshlma was parti
cularly Impressed with the Dickson loco
motives and It is possible that he will
negotiate for the trial of a few. General
Manager Kender is anxious to put the
Seranton engines In competition in the
Japanese market, feeling conlldent that
they will hold their own against uny
American and discount anything the
English shops turn uut.
