The Duquesne Theater.

A second hearing of "Robin Hood" the
after years interval splattered with farce
variety and minstrel performances
masquerading as comic operas, only REIN
forces THE DIsPATcH's original criticism.
1t is still the best comic opera written by
Americans and produced in America. The
Bostonians sang it last night at the Du
quesne Theater, which was crowded with
people one seldom sees at the play
on Monday night, with such spirit
and such finish as this remarkable
organization has taught us to expect of it.
The cast revealed one or two new names.
Miss Caroline Hamilton, Californian, took
the place vacated by Marie Stone who has
retired, and Miss Lea Van Dyke is another
addition to the company Both possess
valuable voices. Miss Hamilton's soprano
is of pure, even quality, with ample tone
power, and her methods are good Several
of her songs as Maid Marion were encored,
Miss Van Dyke is q very pleasant singer.
also. Owing to Tom Karrs hoarseness
Edwin Hoff sang the title role Mr. Hof's
voice did not seem to be entirely
well, either. 1t is superfuous to
touch upon the work of Messrs.
Macdonald, Barnabee, Cowles and
Frothingham; they were all in good shane
last night, and Barnabee's dry humor is as
happily shown in the development of the
Sherif's character as ever Mr.. Cowles
earned a double encore of his armorer's
song. 1t was his due. Miss Jessie Bartlett
Davis sang the "Chimes" song in act III
admirably, and got double encore also.
But, as in all the Bostonians' perform
ances, it was the perfection of the ensemble
that made robin Hood" super-shine the
ordinary comic opera The chorus is. if
anything, larger and better trained than
ever; the grand opera chorus that recently
afflicted the eyes and not seldom the
ears of the Duquesne audience, might 60 to
school with the Bostonians' chorus and learn
lots besides English. The. chorus last night
sung every number well, and as a reward
had TO repeat most of them from two to five
times The Tinker's chorus in act II, of
course, was one of the favorites. For the
admirable smoothness of the whole perfor-
nance and the close union of voices and
instruments, infinite creditis due to that ar
tictic conductor Mr.. Studley. His orches-
ira, for the Bostonians carry their own mu-
sicians with them, did full justice to Mr..
DE koven's music, which impresses us still
more as the best setting comic opera has had
for long while. Tonight Dorothy will
be given

DIR. DOWIE's FAREWELL.

His Last Session Great Success-Cured In
valids Testify to His Power-He Puts
His Audience to the Test-Baltimore
the Next Field.
DR.. Dowie, the divine healer, made his
farewell bsw to his Pittsburg and Alle-
gheny adherents last night at Carnegie
Hall. An immense gathering greeted him.
His next field of labor is Baltimore, where
one months faith cure session will be pu,
in.
On the stage last evening were about 40
people, who sat as living testimonials to
DR.. Dowie's curative powers through de
vine help. Prayer and song prefaced the
opening remarks of the eminent curist,
after which he proceeded to review his
labors in this locality, not omitting to drop
few caustic remarks about the press and
its uncalled for treatment of him. He
said: "I don't care what people say. I
came to this city to tell the truth, and my
detriment
He scored the parsons, as he referred to the
clergy. for ridiculing his work, and wished
every doubter of divine healing to get the
opinions of those who had been cured, not
only of long standing physical ills, bIt also
the ones who had accepted the faith from q
moral standpoint.
To prove the loyalty of belief in his doc
trine he propounded number of questions.
The first was: "Will all those who believe
in my doctrine rise to their feet?" The
vast audience arose en- masse, except the
doctors stenographer, two reporters who
were busy, and a man who was asleep in
far corner
"All those who deny my doctrine please
rise." Two men in the gallery responded
to this request Their action was received
with subdued Kisses.
Besides the ones who had received physi-
cal relief II persons testified that they had
been cured of the tobacco habit, among
them two women. The cured ones were al
lowed to speak for themselves, and the first
was Israel Hoag, aged 73, who had been
sufferer for 40 years, having constantly
worn an artificial apparatus to give him
strength. Twenty days ago he received the
faith and stood before the people cured
and rejuvenated man. He made lengthy
address, praising DR.. Dowie and his work.
Mrs. John Dimling, of Allegheny, on last
Sunday one week walked into the hall as
sisted by crutches, suffering from II years
infliction OF infammatory rheumatism.
Last night she skipped over the stage, at
the instance of the doctor, like young
girl Her crutches were thrown away.
Mrs. Winebrenner, of Etna, also testified
to the great cure she had received. A num-
Der of others spoke briefly, after which the
Doctor thanked everyone present and evoked
a divine blessing on the people of Pittsburg
and Allegheny. His seance opens in Bal
timore on Friday.

Didn't Catch the Elopers.

Lieutenant Holmes and Officer Thompson
were at the Union depot last evening look
ing for an eloping couple. The husband of
the woman was present and identified the
two trunks For some reason the couple
failed to appear and no arrests were made.
The officers were very reticent about the
case, but on one of the trunks was the
name Annie Middleton. The couple in
tended to go to Steubenville. It was
learned that they lived in the neighborhood
of Twenty-seventh street and Penn avenue.
The woman. is about 80 years old and mar
ried The man is the son of q merchant
tailor, aged 21. The officers said the hus.
band had left his wife week ago, but they
wanted to detain her for the sake OF her
three children.

DoERFLINGER ANXIOUS FOB BAH.
He Says He Could straighten Matters If He
Was Out


Was Out
Theodore Doerf1inger is getting very
anxious to get out of Jail and has enlisted
several friends in an effort to procure the
bail bond of $40, 900 necessary to secure his
release. He is becoming detected over his
imprisonment and seems to think that if he
could only get out he could soon make ar
rangements to satisfy all his creditors, in
cluding the Franklin School Board. To q
friend who visited him at the Jail yesterday
Doerfinger said if he had only consulted
his own judgment instead Of his attorneys
he would have remained at home instead of
running away, and could have settled
everything satisfactorily to all concerned
by this time
There does not seem to be much hope for
his release just now, notwithstanding the
effort therefor. The suit upon which he is
held is that of the Franklin School Board,
but in addition there are suits by the Dex-
ter Spring Company and the Modern Build
ing and Loan Association In event of his
release these concerns, particularly the lat
ter, would have him rearrested at once.
There are private individuals also, who, 1T is
understood, are anxious to get revenge on
the luckless druggist for losses sustained,
and in event of his release would immedi-
ately enter additional suits against him.
In the courts yesterday rule was issued
on the Franklin School Board in its suit
against Doerfinger to compel them to
maintain or relinquish their claim ON his
property levied on by them. It is held
that the board cannot, on its writ of at
tachment on the defendants property, force
a Sherif's sale. Ex-Mayor Mceallin has
confessed judgments against Doerfnger,
which can only be proceeded under, but he
and Doerfinger's lawyer are not willing to
cause a sale and then allow the school
board the preference in the proceeds.
In the execution proceedings brought by
ex-Mayor McCallin against Doerfinger, an
who was named as garnishee. He stated
that the only money, ETC., belonging to
Doerhinger in his possession was $65 that
he owed him, and is willing to pay.

carries 622 pounds about with her fair self,
are only small part Of the attractions of.
fered at the Worlds Museum this week.
Electra, most unusual young woman,
sends electric shocks ad hbitum through
whomever she touches. Then there is the
wooden electric motor carved by Mons. A.
L. Morrell and several other novel curl
osities. In the theater ''The Dog Spy" is
given with spirited realism by the Leonzo
Brothers Dramatic Company and their
clever trained dogs Several OF the scenes
are thrilling, including the dogs jump
through window. James w. Thompson's
black face comedy and Miss Kitty Smiths
transformation dance are also worth seeing.

able entertainment. The duel scene
is as huge bit of fun as ever it was, and
would be worth waiting for through an en-
tirely stupid play, which this one certainly
is not. There is deal of pretty dancing
by the various dainty girls Of the company,
and the songs are up to that average
creation, termed topical" A cordial well
come was extended to the play, old enough
nearly to be new, by fair Monday night
audience.

Dayia, Museum-Theater.

Harry Davis Fifth Avenue Museum did
big business yesterday. The various
features of the entertainment proved at
tractive enough to draw several thousand
visitors, and all seemed satisfied. Big Mary
is certainly remarkably large woman, and
as good natured looking and comely as she
is fat. Wells, the man with the iron skull,
goes through his headachy performance
with as much gusto as ever, and Alfred
Pilgrim, the armless and legless boy, does
not feel the loss of hands apparently. In
the theatorium there are several particu-
larly clever performers, and the stage show
generally is good Nearly all the animals
from Schen1ey Park have been placed in
winter quarters in the roof garden.
