Tuesday, January 90.

When the house assembled every
seat in the lobby was taken and
many were standing. Expectancy was
stamped on the features of those who
had not been watching the comings
and goings of the senatorial struggle,
but those better posted knew that the
day would bring forth nothing decis-
i've. Soon after assembling, thehouse
proceeded to ballot, and the result is
published below.

been most enthusiastically received. The

Eight Bells" drew good houses at Al
baugh's last week and made good impression.
1t is one Of those pieces like "The Voyage En-
Swisse, In which the Hsnlons used to appear,
but it possesses the merit OF greater originality
and ingenuity, as well in the manner as in the
mechanism of the production. The Byrne
Brothers as tumblers would be hard to beat
They appear and disappear in the most
harmonious and agile manner through
apertures and doors that seem to be anything
else but what they really are. Aside from
the Brothers Bryne, there are number OF
good people who fill the characters very ac-
ceptable.
There was an innovation In minstrelsy at
the National Theatre last week when George

York. Chicago, and Boston, playing long
engagements in each city, where his art re-
~ceved the strongest Endorsement by the most
eminent reviewers of stage performances
Mr.. Willardis is one of the youngest of London's
great actors, being yet in the thirties. At
home he ranks with Henry Irving, the two
artists being warm friends The predominant
art quality Of Mr. Wizards work is its
naturalness. A critical writer in the Century
Magazine, in an elaborate review of "The
Middleman," at Pamer's Theatre, New York,
says: sat the end OF the second act when
Cyrus Blenkdrn (Mr Willard) hears OF the
shame and flight of the child he has loved
with love greater than that of Rachel for
her children, when he hears that she is lost to
him, to home, to honor the old wonted curse
of the stage father is anticipated, and not
vainly. 1t follows, Of course, but 1t is as no
other curse ever was. The stricken man,
standing amid the ruins of his home, with ali
that made home precious, sweet, and lovable
rudely shattered does not pray God to destroy
his enemies, but to give him the power to do
it, He cannot trust The consummation of his
vengeance even to the Divine arm; his own
must strike the blow, he himself must wreak
the vengeance. Tie authors manner of
phrasing the mixed supplication and impre-
cation, fine as it is, is Of little power compared
with the actor's manner of pronouncing it.
Standing erect, his thin hands-stained with
the clay in which they wrought and in which
lies buried the secret for which his mind strup-
giles vainly-outstretch to the farthest limit,
he speaks in low, measured tone which is as
deep as the nethermost depths of human
misery, suffering, and wrong' This is at the
close Of the second act. The third act Is the
scenic one as well as the strongest dramatic
climax OF the play. In it the old inventor is
seen amid his burning kilns. The furnace
fires look on.this halffrenzied man with great,
red glowing eyes as he shoVels In the fuel and
sstirs the beds of Goals. Altogether it is one of
the most strikingly impressive scenes OF the
modern drama
Mr.. A. M. Palmer has provided Mr.. Willard
with company of artists made up partly
from his home organization and in part from
Mr.. Wizards London forces. The result is a

proves equal to all the requirements of her
role, the company includes many well-known
artists. Mr. Harry g. Clarke is said to be go
realistic in the character of the villain that he
is complimented again and again with Kisses.
Among others deserving special mention are
the bright little Beach children and Miss
Anita Bridger. Matinees Tuesday, Thursday,
James M. Ward has had an eventful ca
reer. He began life as sailor and travelled all
over the world. He was twice shipwrecked
and drifted about in the ocean strapped
to o spar, several days, on one occasion,
when his vessel went down. He was the
only survivor. He served during the war as
soldier, was wounded at the battle Of Shiloh,
and was aftsrward promoted to lieuten-
ancy. Mr.. Ward has never accepted PEN
sion. Soon after the war Mr.. Ward appeared
in New York as star and his success was in
stantaneous.

Harrison and Miss Florence Glynn, skirt
dancers and mirror dancers, having met with
hearty approval. The lrishman's humor is
represented by James l.. Bangs and John
L. Barry, while Carl Rosa, the Coney Islands
famous orchestra leader, insures music of ex-
cellent quality. Besides these there are Wal
lie Clark, the boy tenor and whistler; Ada
Stanwood, character Coincidence; Roy VIII

said to be play of absorbing interest, with
plot that is skillfully worked out, with excit-
ing incidents. and strong situations. Its sue
cess, however, Is not due alone to it's great
dramatic strength, but, In a measure, to its
realistic pictures OF New York life, including
the old Bowery by daylight and gasght, the
Elevated Railroad, with cars running; the rail-

the stage, and the Bismarck Concert Cellar,

Spies, president of the Kansas City

have been prowling around the Yel-

a seventy-five-mile stage-coach ride.
This is what Krouthof says about it,:
"While journeying along, the

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 18,--The
general western branch located III
Kansas City ofthe English and Amer
ican Mortgage company of London,
England, was taken possession of
today by the United States marshal
under an attachment in favor of the
National Bank of Commerce of this
city. The complication arose as fol-
lows: The branch office drew draft
on the home office in London for
$4,000. The First National bank
of Kansas City took the draft for col
lection and advanced the money to the
mortgage company. The bank then
turned the draft over to the National
Bank of Commerce for collection and
upon the strength of it borrowed Slf,-
900. The draft went to London, where
it was protested on account OF he
refusal of the home COMPANY -
pay the same. 1t was sent back here
and to fix the thing up notes were
given by the English and Amerioan
Mortgage company to the National
