LOTTA APPEARS IN INA.
Her First Appearance in Pittsburg in New
Musical Comedy.

Her First Appearance in Pittsburg in New
Musical Comedy.
Lolita appeared in her new play of "Ina'' last
evening at the Bijou. 1t is called musical
comedy. but only lacks chorus to become
opera bouffe. The plot is ingenious. but sug-
gests the unconscious assimilation of ideas bor-
rowed from Madame Angot," ''The Grand
Duchess" and THE Mascot" 1t is the most
artistic and dramatic framework for Lotta's
unique talents that she has ever appeared in,
except it be the "Old Curiosity Shop" which.
unfortunately, Lolita seldom plays now.
Lotta assumes the title role in Ina" and ap-
pears as Partisan street singer, in love with
Gerard, a popular ballad writer. Her noble
birth is discovered, and she is reclaimed by her
father, the Marquis de Bdr6OuiLLieT. The lat
ter gets into trouble through Gerards inter-
pollatlon of Communistic idea into q song writ
ten by the Marquis, and the latter is forced to
fly with his family. Ina returns in disguise to
meet her lover who has become a great man
under the Commune, and makes quite tasci-
mating drummer boy, and everything ends hap
PLY.
The whole company is good, and there is con-
siderable work for each member, although, of
course, Lotta is the main figure. Lotta is still
Lotta no matter what character she may as
sumo, but her personality is so charming and
varied in its phases that her audiences never
tire OF her. The hand of time has touched her
very gently. Her voice is trife thinner, but
her form IS as round and her feet as sprightly
as ever. As usual the audience last evening
began in the middle of the third act to prepare
for grand rush to the doors.

THE PRINCIPLE OF ASYLUM.

The action of the administration in re-
calling Mizner from Guatemala, and ap-
pointing his successor, confirms the most
uniavorable views taken OF the Barrundia
killing at the time that the affair was
brought before the public. Indeed Secre-
tary Blaine's reference to the death of
Barrundia as an assassination" character
izes it as strongly as any of the opposition
papers did, and the entire view of the
matter accepted by the administration
amounts to the severest condemnation of
our representatives. course.
The principle thus affirmed of the asylum
offered by our vessels in foreign ports is the
most advanced one yet taken. 1t is practi-
caIly asserted that in time of peace, politi-
cal refugee, who is neither contraband of
war or a common criminal, who has reached
the shelter of our flag, is entitled to protec-
ton, even in the ports of the Government
claiming him. This right is not to be bar
tered away By our diplomatic representa-
tives or assailed by the military or police of
any foreign power.
The principle is undoubtedly a good one
TO apply in the case of the Central American
republics, but it is one of those diplomatic
sYowals which governments are apt to en-

Prosecuted RUSSIAN JEWS.
Minister Charles Emory Smith Denounced
by Leading Hebrews.

by Leading Hebrews.
ESPECIAL TEL zGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHt
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9-Last Sunday night
Mayer Sulzberger one of the best known
lawyers in Philadelphia. delivered an address
in Baltimore before the Young Mems Hebrew
Association, in which he denounced Charles
Emory Smith, Minister to Russia Because he
declared that there was reason for the outcry
about the Russian Jews being prosecuted, Mr..
Sulzberger said that Minister Smith had
btought upon himself the condemnation of the
Hebrews throughout the land.
To-day Hon. Simon Wolf, one of the leading
Hebrew citizens of Washington, and who has
served the Government abroad in diplomatic
capacity, lndorsed every word of the criticism.
Mr.. Wolf says: Mr.. Sulzberger is a life
long Republican, Philadelphian and knows
Mr.. Smith intimately. Conservative in all
things it must have taken a great deal to rouse
Mr.. Sulzberger, but the continued outrages
against the Jews in Russia have at last opened
the eyes of those who discounted all former
statements. Six months ago told Mr.. Smith
in Berlin that he was the dupe of his diplomatic
surroundings, and that his statements were
simply the echoes of the court circle denials.
The representatives of England and France IN
St. Petersburg were better advised. and SO re-
ported to their Governments, hence the con-
tinued agitation and indignation in those
countries
l personally saw and had long interviews with
three intelligent men, not Russians, who had
visited the leading cities of Russia. and who
not only confirmed all the horrors, but gave
additional facts that would make even North
American Indian blush. l have been awaiting
tire meeting of leading men from all over the
United States which is to take place here TO
take action on this question. The call has been
made. This is not a Jewish question only, it is
also one of humanity. If our people can be
reused by starvation in Ireland, how much more
ought they feel the barbarities and outrages
not excluding rapine and cold blooded
murder practiced on a detenseless people by a
Christian Government.

pied satisfactorily the less prominent. but no
less important. post of accompanist. Then the
chorus had its chief opportunity in Killers
"Song of Victory" short cantata interspersed
with soprano solos very nicely sung by Miss
Grace Miller. In the heavier music of the can
rata the chorus made valiant efforts that were
well appreciated; but it was in the two smaller
chorus pieces sung later on that the singers
did most credit to their director. Mr.. w. A.

The second part was chiefly taken up by two
singers new to the local public. Mr.. William

SOCIETY'S AMENITIES.

An Interesting Theatrical Entertainment at
Sewickley - The Zitterbart Concert
Other Musical Events-A Number of Re-
ceptons and weddings-Social Notes
and Gossip.
The hrst entertainment OF the Sewickley
Valley Club took place last night in their pretty
little theater. The audience was a large one,
and representative of the Sewickley Valley.
Since last year the theater has been greatly i'm
proved; electric lights have taken the place of
gas, and fresh paint and paper, new curtains
and scenery are among the changes for the bet
ter.
Last night double bill was presented, the
comedietta, Cut Of With Shilling and the
two-act farce, "A Box of Monkeys" Both
were given with. admirable effect and in them
selves are capital examples of pure light
comedy. In the smaller piece the cast was as
follows: Sam Gdythorn, Mr.. Harry Scovel;
Colonel BdIners. Mr.. II. NJ. Richardson; Kitty
Gdythorn, Mrs. starr.
The comedietta is probably known to most
theater-goers. Last night it was chiefly tri-
umph for Mrs. Starr. who played the coquettish
ah ana seductive little heroine-a wife who melts
tne heart OF her husbands obdurate uncle
Win natural charm and buoyancy that were
delightful. Mr.. Richardson played the old
mlllary uncle with much humnr, and Mr..
ScoVel made very handsome nephew.
In the second piece "a Box OF Monkeys
written by Grace L. Furniss and published re-
was as follows;
Mrs. Ondego-Jhones, Miss Anderson: Sierra
Bengdtane. Miss Whiting: Ladu GutneUere
Ltdndpoore, Mrs Reed: EdOurd RaIston, Mr..
NeVln; Chouncey Oglethorpe, Mr.. o. s. Rich
E. The story of this little comedy, rather than
larce. is new and ingenious. A Western girl is
sent TO her aunt in New York to be polished up
IN society There she meets an English Earps
r. tn ntiua tiror
manners of Americas girls The Wild West
erner teaches the English girl slang, as a part
OF tne captivating outfit, with most astonishing
iesuits, including two matrimonial alliances
MISS w hitting played Sierra, the Western girl,
WIN iots OF spirit and gaiety. She brought
Gown the house with song and
uance, and evoked roars of laughter
oy her truthful representation of
oil gum-chewer's ways. No less successful
was Mrs Reed as the solemn and slow English
woman. Her accent was very like the real
tnlng, and her sedate methods of speech and
movement were the real things themselves.
IL was quite character creation. Miss An
derson, as the New York woman of fashion,
WAS Ms IN happy contrast to the others. Mr..
Nevln made good-lookIng and amusing
lover, and the English lord portrayed
by Mr., Q. S. Richardson. If not as
English as he might have been. was a clever
embodiment of shyness and dIdishness. The
scenery was extremely tasteful, the interiors
being very prettily decorated, thanks to the
efforts of Mrs. w. l.. Jones and Miss McVay.
For the smoothness of the whole performance
as usual. great credit is due to Miss Dickson,
Messrs. Chaplin, Richardson and others. After
the plays there was dancing.

encouraging these contests, will have more,

encouraging these contests, will have more
cause than anybody to regret.
The warning is pertinent one and the
only criticism which can be made
upon it is that it is not made stronger by
using the very pertinent illustration close
to the Press hand. 1t is an obvious and
gigantic political fact that the strongest
Indictment which the Democrats of the next
House will have, to decide contests by
partisan prejudice, will be the example of
their Republican predecessors, they should
not permit themselves to be carried away by
the disposition to retaliate for previous un-
fairness. ANY degree of fidelity to DEM
ocratic institutions should keep them from
such attacks on the principle of honest rep
resentation; and as the Press says the display
of such untairness will cost them more than
they gain by it. But the warning of our
cotemporary would be far more effective If
it had made the frank confession that the
action of the Republican House in unseat-
ing Democrats who were elected, not by
hundred majority but by majorities of
thousands was one of the main causes which
contributed to Its stunning downfall.
In the case of an election where the ma
jority is only 126, it would seem that a con-
test might be begun without implying an
intention of securing an unfair decision.
But the warning of the Press against the
general practice of unfairness in such con-
tests, is so correct that we indorse it heartily
with the addition that the severe recoil of
such partisan unfairness on the party per-
petrating it, is something to which the Press,
as Republican organ, is we'll qualified to
testify from experience.
