Hymn Tinkering.
Nn- UonI~ fnk.a.,..rs.v-

Mr.. Jones was getting up a grand
musical performance by his choir
on an anthem he had composed to
the words of one of Watts psalms.
The frat verse ends with the splen-
did words:
o, may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound.
Jones came to DIR. Hatfield to get
his approval of a change OF these
lines so as to read:
o, may my heart be tuned within,
Like Davies sacred violin.
We can see the cute and sunny smile
of the doctors as be heard the new
version. But he said he could inn
prove even that, and he wrote to
the amusement of Jones:
o, may the heart go dlddle, diddle,
"a Like unto David s sacred fiddle.
Jones sang the song according to
Watts.

Dickson,s Sketch Club.

Commencing to morrow evening this tai
erted and versatile company viii present
the dramatic sketch, "Editha's Burglar
and piece entitled Combustion, both of
which come with the plaudits of the pless
and public.
The company appeared in Chicago few
days ago, and in reference to the perform
an exchange Of that city says: One Of the
most pleasing and daintily artistic bits Of
dramatic com position it has been our good
fortune to enjoy in some time is a one
act piece entitled ''Editha's Burglar, -
now being presented at the Standard theatsr
1t is based upon q magazine story, we be-
lieve, and is quite as unique as it is touch
ingly comical, its pathos and humor being
as delicately blended as the warp and wool
of texture. An especially interesting tone
is given it through the delightfully."- simple
and prettiiy innocent assumption of Editha
by little Miss Della Fox. The piece, which
deserves better characterization than is
given it by the word sketch" is by Messrs.
Gus Thomas and Edgar Smith, who take part
with Miss Fox in this performance. I'm
mediately following there is a farcial piece
in two acts by the same authors, which is
amusingly presented by very agreeable
company of six people, and great deal OF
nonsensical, with an occasional touch Of
highly creditable entertainment, is afforded
the audience. Mr.. Frank David is tho not
able figure in this performance, and he
proves to be comedian OF decided ability
and much cleverness. This is one of the
most agreeable entertainments thus far
given in the Standard, and merits much
larger patronage than it has received.

AMUSEM rs.

The weekSst closed in st. Paul, from a
dramatic poiiS of view, was dedicated to the
muse of comedy, who capered to large and
satisfied audiences with great success. The
amusement patrons of st. Paul have seldom
been accorded a round of more enjoyable
performances. The week was inaugurated
by Den. Thompson in "Joshua Whitcomb,"
q play which seems quite as new and charm
ing as when frst produced a decade OF years
ago. There is something in the large hearted
old man, from his cowhide boots to his pyro-
technic countenance, that seems very near
to nature, and his homely wit and quaint
ways always appeal to the sympathy of an
audience His support was very good, the
character of CT Prime being almost as good
a characterization as that Of Joshua itself,
The engagement of Mr.. and Mrs. Florence
closed last night, and it has been one
of the most successful in years.
They presented ''The Almighty Dollar" the
magnetic power of which was evidenced in
the immense audience, and ''Facts, or the
Little Ratchet" All the performances were
attended by large and delightful audiences.
There is something about the comedy powers
of these clever people that savors Of auld
lang syne; they are part OF that good
school of comedians of this generation of
which Mrs. John Drew and Barney and Mrs.
Williams were the Messiahs; school in
which variety, business and burlesqus are
as distant as was the gap between COlley
Cibber and Shakespeare.

the play is described thus:
Julia and George Sherman, brother and
sister, are orphans, and anxious to better 3

John Maxwell, man-about-town. Her
brother gives her what money ne has TO so to

is engaged to her brothers. dearest friend,
Frank Douglas, and the son is in the same
relation TO Ida Forester. An overheard
conversation reveals the fact that Miss Ida
has more love for his money than himself.
John Maxwell she perhaps loves, but money
she adores. Arthur Sumner leaves her ano
goes TO Michigan, working as q clerk, and
looking for love alone. In the second act
he brings home as his bride Julia Sherman,

his money, and makes life uncomfortable to
him. In the third act, Arthur Sumner and

ton of her former position as = chamber

by road agents, his life Is saved by his wife's
brother. Their early life is narrated, and a
return made to New York, where a happy
reconciliation is effected.

were given in such manner as to indicate a re-
gard for the man we'll admiration for the
actor. Mr. Warde Is no stranger in Detroit, nor
is his conception OF Virginins to the theater-
going public. Those who have seen him before
in this role were gratihed last evening to observe
ripening in strength and grace, which bstokens
great things in the future of Frederick Wsrdo In
the earlier part Of the play, where he can ap
propriately do so, Mr.. Wards puts little more
life aud light into the role than does Mr. McCul-
Tough, and thus the contrast is more marked
when the grim visaged Centurion is aroused by
thought OF the terrible wrong of which he is the
victim. There Is . great deal to admire in Mr.
Warde's presentation Of the piece. He has care
fully studied every detail in the way OF costume
and stage effects. and he has the support of an
excellent company"

longing to Miles Orton's circus Friday night,
in which one man was killed

and general fight occurred. Elliott was

Mayor Mari restored order . man named
Evans appeared at the depot with shot gun
and fired into the train. at this
moment the train pulled out and the circus
men fired volley at the crowd, killing j.
Longneeker, MORALLY wounding Mayor MARI
and slightly wounding boy. Longnecker

or Mr.. Warde's Virginius, the eminent
critic, Mr.. George Goodael says, in the
Detroit Free Press, Sept. 9: OF Mr.. Wards
lot in the performance there is little to be
said in addition to what was said in
this journal year ago; still, careful COM
parison of his year-apart representations
brings forward some noble betterments.
Among these are surer self-command,
clearer manifestation of the actors thought
and purpose, a safer outstanding of power,
and a complete filing Of what may be called
the larger issues of the tragedy. For ex-
ample, in his scene with Lucius in camp,
after the body Of Dentatus is dirged away,
the sincerity of Mr.. Ward els acting was made
thrillingIy apparent. He was aroused to the
utmost by uDquestionable feeling that in
spired bis audience with much of his own
emotion, and evoked a demonstration to
which Salvini could not be Indifferent.
The San Francisco Evening Bulletin Of
July 5, says: Mr.. Booth as Iago, in the
last act of Othello, was supposed to have
reached tie limit of the capacity of the hui
man countensnce to express opinion, but
Mr.. Warde's last act of Vlrginius is equally
great.
The Detroit Evening Journal, Sept. 9, says:
In the early part of the play, where he can
appropriately do so. Mr.. Warde puts a little
more life and light into the role than docs
Mr.. Mccullough, and thus the contrast is
more marked, when the grim visaged Cen
turion is aroused by thought of the terrible
wrong of which he is the victim. There is
great deal to admire in Mr.. Warde's pre-
sentauon Of the piece. He has carefully
studied every detail in the way of costume
and stage effects, and he has the support of
an excellent company.
Mr. Goodale says of the company, dresses
and scenery: Miss Mittens Willets, who
had been shown here as player
of secondary parts In the Nc
Cullough company for several seasons
was pleasant surprise as Virginia. She
looked charming, acted With delightful as
sumption Of pretty girlhood and won fairly
the honors of her role. Miss Kate Meek was
satisfactory to the fullest possibilities Of the
part Of Servia. The audience gave abundant
evidence OF their appreciation Of her work.
Harry c. Barton played his old part Of Caius
Claudius with conscientious regard for its
odious demands, and some excellent work
was done without pretentiousness by Mr..
Milton, as DentaCEs.

ment, is able to surround his play land pre-

Thur sday evening was the occasion of
pleasan. little gathering at the house of Mr..
Tallmad re on Tenth street, where few par
tieuIar fri ends were invited to meet Miss
Josephine Rand, who is about to leave st.
Paul for the east on account of her health
demanding a complete cessation from work.
She, with the other members of the choir of
the First Bapt ist church, sat down to an ele-
CANT repast, W lich, after duly honoring, was
followed with little surprise in the shape of
presentation f. , Miss Rand. Mr.. DeLacy
was selected to p, ,rform the pleasant duty of
presenting to that lady token of the high
regard in which sh is held by her friends.
After a few well oh osen words he presented
to her an elegant di smond ring and breast
pin, the gift of a new specially devoted ad-

This genteel sampling business is carried

Some of them saunter into retail
grocery stores and perhaps make

The Detroit Post, Sept. 9, says His briefer
utterances in the forum scene in the fifth
act were strong in character, while he failed
to hold the attention OK his audience in his
longer speeches. His work in the scenes Of
the sixth act, particularly the first, was wor-
thy OF comparison with any actor, and was
certainly much better in conception and ex-
ecution than that Of Mr.. Mccullough, in that
his study Of a cYaZed mind has been much
closer and the application of knowledge more
carefully made.
Mr.. Warde's impersonation Of Virginius
was SO much superior to that given by him
on the same stage last season
that he deserves hearty congratulations
on the improvement of his art 4 number
OF his old time extravagances of utterances
and actions have been corrected and the
faults which remain are neither numerous
nor grave enough to forbid the hope and rea-
sonable expectation that he will in time
attain the same deserved popularity as a star
which he in past years has enjoyed as lead
ing man in the companies Of more distin-
guished actors. He bore himself exception
ally well i'll the forum scene, wherein those
who knew him best had reason to fear he
might ''overdo." OF all the plays in his
repertory, ''Virginius'' is the one best fitted
for the display of Warde's powers as TRACE

were those Of Edwin Booth, and Barry

formanoes last night, that he has an ade-
quate knowledge as to what the historic
Richard was in part, a man Of indomitable
will, warrior of ability, statesman Of the
widest policy, and a sovereign, who but for
his moral obliquity, and the means whereby
he attained the throne, would for his wisdom

appreciate the fact that these performances
Mr.. Warde has been giving are worth seeing,
but they have now found it out ultimately to
their own and Mr.. Warde's profit.
