AMONG THE NEW BOOKS.

"Tbe New King Arthur" published by
Funk u Wagnalls, New York, in unex-
ceptionable letter press and tasteful bind
ing, is good deal more than clever
travesty of Tennyson. Had the "Idyls OF
the Kipgn never been sung, this "Opera
without Music,n as so expressed In the
title, would still be sure of delighted
audience on its own independent merits.
Nor is it true that it is an opera wholly
without music, for it is rich In metrical
melodies. 1t is also full of wit without buff
foonery, satrical without being ill-natured
and broadly humorous without descending
to buresque-evidently the work of bright
observer and cultured classical scholar.
Those who have read that vivacious social
satire, "The Bunting Ball. will be all the
more eager for perusal of "The New King
Arthur" when they know that the two
books are by one and the same author,
whose identity is still a mystery, but whose
sparkling compositions are none the less
enjoyable.
Mr.. George Bancroft's "Plea for the Con-
stitution Of the United States, Wounded In

casion was this; "You hail from Buf.

AMUSEM ENTS.

THE GRAND-'sHADowS OF GREAT CITY"
A large house well pleased was the record at
the Grand Operations last night Shadows
Of a Great City" has enough plot and incident to
keep an audience alert to follow it. Its presen-
tation last night was artistic throughout, the
stage setting was fine and the company
thoroughly competent to produce the play. The
honors of the evening were divided between
Miss Edna Carey, as Annie Standish and Helen
Standish, the daughter, and Miss Annie Ward
Tiffany, whose Irish Biddy Roman was a
very clever characterization. The Jim Farren
of George r. Edeson, and the Abe Nathans of
William Cullington were quite good and the
acting of Nelson Wheatcraft and w. FL. Herman
was noteworthy. The company as whole was
well-balanced, and that it gave satisfaction was
evidenced by frequent and hearty applause.
The scenery was a pleasing surprise because of
its richness and beauty, and did much TO give
finish to play we'll presented. Shadows of a
Great City" will run the entire week, with the
usual matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
The first nights patronage augurs good bust
ness, and it deserves it.
cyclists ERA-HoUsE-"HAzEL KIRKE."
"Hazel kirke," one of the Madison square
standard plays was presented at Englishs to a
full house last night the low prices offered hav-
ing filled the entire lower floor. The play, while
not particularly strong, is of character that
carries certain kind of popularity long
time. 1t is a pure and wholesome
love story, well wrought out and attracts
such as prefer an agreeable to sensational play
1t has been presented here too often to need
outlining The Hazel Kirke of Miss Lottie
Blair was an artistic bit of acting, but lacked
animation, her voice at times being very inds-
tinct Mr. Armstrong presented typical Dun
stan Kirke, and, with Miss Blair. was encored.
The support was by no means strong, nor was it
bad enough to spoil the present ation. The same
hill will continue through the week with the
usual matinees at all of which popular prices
will rule.

Much smoke. but No Fire.

Last night, shortly before II o'clock. Merchant
Patrolman Reed discovered that the wholesale
millinery store of Wocher, Richie Sc Hanford,
on South Meridian street, was filed
with smoke. and supposing that there
was fire somewhere in the building
forced an entrance by breaking in
window. The No. fire company was called,
but it was found that they were not needed, as
there was no fire. A stove had been left open,
and the smoke escaping from it had filed the
building, without, however, doing any serious
damage.

Another street-Car Robbery.

Three men boarded South Illinois street-car
at McCarty street last night, at IL o'clock, and
while two covered the driver, Isaac Dubois. with
revolvers, The other two went through
his pockets taking a watch, two re-
volvers. and plug of tobacco,
in addition to his money-belt. There was no one
near at the time and the robbers had no difficulty
in escaping. The driver describes the three men
as being negroes, but it is believed by the police
that the black was nothing more than burn
cork, used as a disguise.

Two Sides Of a Story.

The statement that the father of Phil Riley,
who created such disturbance in the neighbor-
hood of the Masonic Temple Sunday tried to
prevent his arrest after having summoned the
police, is denied by witnesses of the trouble. 1t
is further claimed that instead of the employees
of the restaurant assaulting the patrolman, as
the latter reported, young Riley knocked him
down. and the police are severely censured by
the witnesses fer their timidity in taking the
prisoner into custody

Milwaukee Sentinel: Through the winter
months the man who swindles the farmer lays
his plans for the summer round. He usually
hits upon some plausible scheme or other that
will enable him to obtain such signatures as will
insure his plans The name the farmer signs
almost always turns up attached to some sort of
of a promissory note The farmers course should
be to deal with none but the nearest reputable
merchant, or to bargain that he will pay cash on
delivery. The men who present blank forms to
insure the delivery of anything, from a grind
stone to lightning rod. should be frowned
down.
