bly, be filled on the occasion of the first per-
formance in this city Of the Tourists. The
tickets have met with ready sale. The Bos-
ton Traveller says: "The return of the Tour
lists to this city and to the Gaiety last night
was the occasion of one of the largest gather
ings, if not the largest, that ever assembled
under Mr.. Wentworth's management here.
The vocalization of the piece was excellently
done Miss Carrie Swain, Miss Louise Leighton.
Miss Jeanette Reifferth, Mr.. Mestayer, Mr.
Eckert, Mr.. Long and Mr. Bray, singing in
their several roles very effectively, while the
concerted music was finely rendered. The
large and varied audience were greatly de-
lighted with the performance-n fact too de-
lighted They insisted upon recall after recall
in many of the numbers, to the end, that the
play was heightened far beyond its proper time
of representation"

IS not great deal of music in the piece, though
that which Audran has written for it is bright
and pretty enough so far as it goes, and unless
1t is cleverly acted it does not prove very in-
teresting..
The Creole was presented Monday night in
the Union Square Theatre, New York, in
presence of numerous and interested audi

THE BEN ADHEMITE ERA.
Lecture by the Author of "a Fools Err
rand"

Last night fair sized audience gathered at
oisy han to listen to Judge Tourgee's lecture
emitted The Ben Adhemite Era At Just
O'Clock the Judge and Mayor Senter stepped
upon the platform. The Mayor presented the
lecturer and in neatly worded speech of in
PRODUCTION referred to him as the "original
1901" The Judge was warmly greeted with
applause as he came forward. He began by
saying that ages like men have their hobbies.
lucas are contagious as well as disease. More
than half the things we learn we get as we do
small pox by exposure. The spirit of an age
is only particular thought in epide nic
form. The growth and development of new
thoughts and their effects upon affairs of
nations and ages were very skillfully traced.
MANY Illustrations were given to show how
ihacn the affairs OF nations and ages had been
influenced by very trivial circumstances. The
crusades and the idea of rescuing the holy
sepaichre from the Mussulmans originated
VIII refer the Hermit, ragged dirty mend-
cant monk, a religious vagabond, who perhaps
1a. never had a thought before. To ca mel
aflver OF Mecca came new thou ght that the
idols which his people worshipped were vain
a aI. iilusory because they were many; yet one
.niru OF the earth heard the battle cry of a
new creed.
:. buddhism and other heather systems of re-
nglous philosophy were taken up and shown
70 contain no place for man. There was no
9uty, no humanity. The spread of thought
depended upon the preparation of an age to
leceive It, The world was ready to let Luther
1 Genpt and live, century before it sent Wick
llffe to the stake.
n ancient language or philosophy contains
any synonym for our word humanity. The
ldeas OF common humanity and its correlative
rights and duties were not that of the nine
teenth century, only the root of it. The lee
turer dwelt at considerable length upon a GER
tain class of young old men and old young men
VINO can see no good in our century, who are
continually referring to the past, who deplore
the license of the press and wonder weakly
whether we would be better without the art Of
printing. The lecturer had no sympathy for
that class OF ideas. He thought the press was
always in the foreground of progress. When
any good cause languishes, when the universal
heart is wrung with the prospect of some great
wrong then the great world pulse
throbs. with the cylinders that whirl
through the dim morning hours in every
city and every land reiterating the appeal Of
the oppressed 81 am man." until the tyrant
trembles in his palace, the oppressor stays the
uplltted rod and the wrong is righted and the
weak lift up the song of praise.
The lecture was listened to throughout with
the deepest attention. Many Of the happy
hits elected hearty applause. AT times the
eloquence of the lecturer became very impress
