Irvington. William Suttles and Abraham Van
Cleve, stopped In the saloon on their way
home to get q glass OF beer each. The beer was
drawn and drank. and, throwing down ten cents,
the IrvingtOnians started to 60 but were called
back and told that the beer was ten cents per
glass. They mildly demonstrated and said they
had no more money. At this the man behind the
bar sprang out, locked the door, and then calling
on some six other persons who were present to
unfortunate countrymen beating them most
unmerciiully with chairs and other weapons. Out
the pair were driven into the back yard streaming

They fell into the hands of the police who escorted
them TO the station house. The of1icer In charge

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES

While not sharing in the Deisarte notion OF man.
ufacturing actors we cannot doubt that the study
OF such scientific works az Mr.. Darwin's "Expres-
sion Of thsEmotions In Man and Animals'' would
prove valuable aid In dramatic art. Particular
movements Of the features and gestures being
expressive of certain states Of the mind, q
thorough knwledge OF these movements and CON-
pete understanding Of the philosophy and methods
Of expression seem absolutely necessary to great
success. Most actors fail because they cannot
express emotion in the ordinary and natural way.
Stage blushing especially, is an awkward and in
complete performance accompanied only by few
signs Of the emotion, such as hiding the face
or turning away the head. The reason OF
this Is, as Mr. Darwin shows, that the blush
is involuntary and cannot be counter.
feited, and yet we cannot see why study and prac-
tice should not enable person to acquire some-
thing akin to the mental attention which infu-
ences the capillary circulation, and thus make the
voluntary blush feasible In the exhibition OF human
emotion. But whether blushing can or cannot be
counterfeted-and we have spoken OF it because
1t is an extreme and difficult of expression
Mr.. Darwin's book cannot fail to prove invaluable
to the actors for the book, as its title indicates, is
a complete treatise not only on emotion, but the
expression or signs OF emotion.
We hear that the German opera company at the
Stadt Theatre intends producing Wagner's
"Lohengein.n The company is not a strong one
but 1t gives German opera acceptably, and that is
much for people who are anxious to hear more Of
