Gi1more's Concert.

Once more Gifmore's Band will be heard in
this city; it is announced for Wednesday
afternoon and evening at the Mechanical
Hall. Gilmore's brilliant and attractive pro-
gnmmes are played with a swing and a
spirit that sets everybody's blood tingling.
There is a "go," an impalpable something
Wnlcn makes one concert so much more en-
joynble than another about them. The
characteristic of Gilmore's conducting is one
thing which has helped to make him so uni
versally popula: and successful; another is,
he always surrounds himself with good peo-
pie. On this tour he has an unusual number
of them. There are Campanini, the greatest
tenor of them all, Nine Louise Natali Miss
Ida Klein and Mile. Mantell, of operatic
fame, Signors Spigaroli and Sartori, two
European celebrities, and one of the most
celebrated violinists of the day, Miss Maud
Powell Altogether this concert promises
to be brilliant beyond any that the great
bandmaster has yet given here, for he is to
be assisted by the May Festival chorus led
by Carl Retter,

Grand Opera House

Miss Fanny Davenport will produce Vic
torien Sardou's cleopatra" at the Grand
Opera House this week. We may be sure
that these performances will not escape pub
lie attention. The enterprise has been lib
orally advertised ever since its inception,
many months ago. Miss Davenport's produc-
tion of the play in New York and Boston has
been described and commented upon by all
the newspapers, SO that we ought to know
just what to expect. Miss Davenport is well
liked by the public, for she has never sighted
it. Her zeal never fags. She will produce
this new French piece with the most mag
nificent scenery yet seen on the stage, and the
stage pictures are said to be finer than those
exhibited at the Porte st. Martin, Paris.
The stage will be crowded with men and
women in handsome dress. The acting will
be done principally by Miss Davenport in
the title role, with Melbourne MacDowell
as Mark Antony. This cleopatra" was
written by Victorien Sardou, and it is fair to
say that very interesting performance may
be expected, no matter whether the Cleo
para of Miss Davenport comes up to our
ideal or to Shakespeares conception of the
greatest charmer of all time.

ONE OF ALGER's BOOMERS.

How q Michigan Man Sizes Up the Contest
for the Presidency.
1t is no secret in Michigan among General
Alger's intimates that he is candidate for
the Republican nomination for President in
1892, says DR.. H. G. Walker, of Detroit.
Alger is popular in Michigan with all
classes and conditions of men-Democrats
as well as Republicans. He is a splendid
fellow-every inch man and gentleman.
He is not exactly of my politics, but like
him, and if nominated believe he would
run like a ghost. We think pretty well,
too, of Dan NJ. Dickinson up our way, but
should Alger get the nomination it seems to
me that the Democrats will be forced to
select some man who can divide the soldier
vote. There will be some difficulty in find
ing one that can do it.
I have had some experience in politics,
and my impression is that the fight in 1892
will be very close and hard struggle,
which, before it is ended, may give our in
stitutions another as hard wrench as that
which occurred in 1S76-1S77, when the con-
test was between Hayes and Tilden.

Harry williams Academy.

The Fay Foster English Gaiety Company
promises to bring a lot of mirth and beauty
to town this week. The Cincinnati In
Qldre said last week Of this company: "The
'curtain-raiser,' Our Pleasure Party serves
to introduce number of pretty girls, hand
some costumes and new and taking songs.
The boy wonder, as Master Guy Henry is
termed, in witty sayings brought down the
house. William j. O,Brien, in new and
original musical act. caught the audience.
Miss Pauline Batcheller sang herself into
neat comedy sketch, were encored time and
again. Hanley and Jarvis, in a knock-about
act were as reckless as any Of them. Van

The DuQuesne Theater.

A distinct novelty is promised to the pa
irons of the Duquesne this week, Scott
Marbles latest and greatest success, "The
Patrol" The occasion is doubly interesting
In the fact that it marks the first presenta-
ton upon the Duquesne stage of what is said
to be refined melodrama. 'The Patrol" is q
piece which is said to possess all the pic
turesQue beauties, all the tense human inter-
est, and all the scenic magnificence of the
Lights % London" coupled with the refine
ment of that other great English success
"The Silver King" The word melodrama
has fallen into disrepute with the patrons of
high class theaters, owing TO the misappli-
cation of it in the classification of the weird
and terrible pictures which are the delight
of the gallery gods in the cheap theaters
of the country, but "The Patrol" is said
to be a melodrama of the higher order one
which delights the occupants of the boxes
and orchestra chairs as well as the sensa-
tionally inclined deniZens of the regions
above. The story is founded on a greafsen-
sation in Chicago which recently astounded
the country and set the news-Dearing wires
athrob with horrible intelligence. 1t is re-
plete with realism and novelty and the
scenes and incidents are those of real life in
any one of the great cities. As the name
indicates, the story presents vivid series of
pictures of the interior workings of the
modern police system. The interior of the
celebrated Harrison street police station is
reproduced as perfectly as the painters art
Gan W -; anu 1lS DdIIl VI Ine pdJTOl system
at the west Lake street station, Chicago,
with horses and wagons standing quietly
awaiting the call, officers lounging about or
playing at some light amusement; then the
flying run of the wagon in answer to the call,
the arrest and return to the station are given
with equal attention to,versimilitude. These
incidents and scenes are not advantitiously
dragged in, nor are they exaggerated. They
are a natural part and parcel of the story,
and are given simply as necessary concom-
itants to the calculation of the plot. The
scenery is said to be the most superb pre-
sented on any stage in Pittsburg since the
last visit here of 1.-THE Crystal Slipper" The,
acting company is one of particular strength,
and with such names as those which follow
carefully studious and artistic production is
assured: The artists are Mr.. Clarence Handy

THE DRAFT OF WAGONS.

Some Peculiar Facts That Suggest Very
Important Improvements.
There is a decided opportunity for i'm.
provement in wagons. A load on the real
wheels draws 10 per cent easier than when
placed on the front wheels That is one
thing worth knowing. Here is another
When the reach or coupling between the
front and rear wheels is exactly horizontal
the wagon draws easiest.
The incline Of the reach toward the front
wheels, as it is now almost universally put
in, makes the wagon draw harder than it
should. A wagon reversed and pulled rear
end foremost draws 5 per cent easier. The
lesson from this is that the front wheels
should be as large as those in the rear.

CHICAGO, Feb. Especial. III a certain
portion of the Cardler report is adopted by
congress the Worlds Columbian exposition
will have to seek for another
director general. There is passage
in Mr.. Gamblers bill which requests that
Director-General Davis be transferred from
the national commission to the local
directory, and that hereafter Colonel Davis
be made an officer of and be paid by the
local directory. When Colonel Davis at
tention was called to Mr.. Gamblers action
this morning he said:
am an officer of the national commission,
and not of the local directory. / was engaged
by the national commission TO be the reprcsen-
tative of the nation. / am q national offcer
now, and the moment they try to change the
standing of the position / viii step out.
1t may be all right for the directory TO hire
director general, but they can't hire me. shall
remain q national officer or nothing nc all in
connection with this enterprise. / do not be-
heve In this plan TO gradually demoraiize the
exposition.
Representatives of the enterprise here
trust that Davis will not be forced out. He
has all the details well in hand, and il
would be difficult at this time to fill
his place. Treasurer Seeburger
is indignant over the kilograms
recently sent to newspapers in Eastern
cities. He says there is positively nothing
new or unforeseen in the proposition to
solicit 100000 more in popular SUBJ

Name him yourself.
Well, suppose Blaine is the man, how would
it be?
All right Why is not Blaine the best man for
the Republicans? What il the matter with
Blaine? Come, tell me. do not say he is, but
/ ask you why he is not. see no reason why he
should not wish to be president much as he
ever did. He is deeper than ever in public
affairs, and managing great questions
to the satisfaction of the country. IL is probable
that he thinks less as q politician than at any
previous time IN his career. 1t would
be only natural that his present employment
should cause the presidency Co be his natural
desire, stronger than ever before. though he may
find less time to manifest the feeling.
But Quay is not man with only one idea. In
case Blaine does not want the nomination, he
sees good timber in Lincoln, Cullonl, Allison
and Rusk, and clearly recognizes the power OF
the great West.
