1.-THE Hunchback" revival-it is to give
way in week to reproduction Of "As
You Like It''-has been the chief happen
ing in the city's theatricals of late. Not
less eventful, but surely less agreeable, has
been the confession of absolute failure con-
veyed in the news that Mrs. Fanny Der
nartl- Beere has decided to return to Eng
land. Her chagrin is admitted by her
friends, and her manager not only pockets
substantial loss without murmur, but
has even been heard to say that he consid-
erS himself well out of bad bargain
In this case there will be much sympathy
for the actress She has been misled by
her manager, who, it is to be feared, did
not weigh all the circumstances carefully
before he made this venture. 1t was quick
ly demonstrated To her New York audiences
that Mrs Becre is an actress of consider
able force, intelligent in her reading, grace
fui in movement and attractive in person
ality, but the most friendly observer has
admitted that Mrs. Beere does not possess
the manifold and striking advantages
which should enter into the equipment of
Il star actress
One might easily fancy her as of value
in stock company. where, in certain
strongly marked and dominant roles, she
should well display her technical skill and
long experience for Mrs. Deere has been
before the public well nigh quarter of n
century. The termination of her tour is set
down for Dec. 10, in brooklyn. She will
then have played here just four weeks,
yet she had hoped to remain six months.
Contrary TO general rumor, there is no
prospect of Il lawsuit in connection with
her iasco. She has courageously bowed
to the inevitable, and coinciding with her
managers views she has urged the imme-
a infn oil nf ha OH
in her behalf, however, that her final work
in this city as Adrienne in Scribe's "Adri
enne Lecouvreur" went far to remove the
disagreeable impression caused by her col
Orless performance in those two wretched
and vulgar plays, LENA Despard" and
"Ariane." Her Adrienne was in most re-
spects an effective and careful impersona-
ton, not always touching the true note of
pathos, to be sure, but generally sympa-
thetic and always intelligent.

The plot hinges OH the TRANSMISSION of blood
from the veins of presumably healthy
man into those of a summer hotel keeper
of the name Of Nudge. An INSCRIPTIONS
disciple of Hippocrates took the blood from
a criminal, who had been formerly a Malay
pirate. The new blood" proves entirely
too opulent in carbon for Nudge, whose
moral and physical character undergo
complete metamorphosis-fr the meek
and docile Nudge to the fierce, throat cut

trouble in his family and among his

love. After all, it is to this note that Mr.
Daly's audiences have ever best responded
They have turned from "a Test Case" to
The Hunchback" with eager expectation
and manifest relief, and in the main they
have not been disappointed
To say that Sheridan Knowles gentle
play is sumptuously framed in Mr. Days
stagc-to say that it's personages wear de-
lightful costumes in accurate designs and
harmonious colors, is simply to say that
faithfully observed. In the sixty odd
years during which "The Hunchback" has
held place Oh the American boards per
haps it hns never before been so pictur-
esqucly presented in most of it's scenes
The manner of it's performance at Daly's

az becomes her reputation no less than the
expectancy Of her friends, Ada Rehan has
won another distinguished success as Julia

Miss Rehan's representations of modern
heroincs have no place in her Julia To
the amazcment and admiration of her
public she has completely seized upon the

A Ballot May Not BE Taken Until

Especial to the REPUBLICAN.

Especial to the REPUBLrcAN,
MINNEAPOLIS, June Tn the
general anxiety to ascertain who is
TO be the standard bearer of the Re-
publican party in the next election,
one very important point has been
considerably overlooked. TLis is
that the convention to day, without
anyone except the leaders knowing
the full significance of this action,
bound itself by cast iron rules to
dispose of all the contested cases
before taking the platform, and
pledged itself to adopt platform
before it permitted the first nomina-
ton TO be made.
How long these matters may de-
lay the convention is a problem
which opens wide field of specula-
ton. The contested | cases alone are
so bitterly fought that the commit.
tee on credentials may well claim, if
so disposed, a day or more for their
consideration. Then comes the
platform with the silver fight and
the demands of the Afro~American
League for new force bill.
The committee on resolutions,
even if they work all night, can
hardly get through under nearly
eight hours, and their work may,
when completed, give rise to a hot
debate in the convention. 1t is,
therefore, fully within the possibili-
ties. bearing in mind the Difficult.
ties which surround both the COM
mittee on credentials and the com
mittee on resolutions, that the first
ballot fDr President may not be
taken before Saturday or Monday
next.

Pttsburg is the home Of the first
vice president of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of America, Rev.
NJ. Nj. Sheedy, who is credited with
saying he does not intend there
shall be an open saloon i'll the First
ward" where his church is situated.
The pledge OF the G. L. A. Union
reads 81 promise, with Divine as
sstance, and in honor of the sacred
thirst and agony of our Saviour, to
abstain from all Intoxicating drinks
to prevent as much MS possible by
advice and example, the sin OF in
temperance in others, and to dis
countenance the drink customs OF
society,""
This reference to tho Hsacrcd thirst
of Jesus" sound strangely at first to
Protestant, but as we think of it, il
has wonderful solemnity, and must
deeply impress those who take this
sacred pledge.
In a personal letter to Mrs. Wat
son; Father Sheedy says: Il quite
agree with you that much more
could be done if ever denomination
would have an active committee de
voted to the diffusion or temperance
literature. We are doing something;
would like to do more if we had the
means. | am firm believer in the
use of printers ink. There is much
need of the educational feature of
this work. 7 read with
much interest, and | hope with
profit, the White Ribbon that comes

The "Total Abstinence Manual
prepared by direction of the G, L
A. U. is most admirable little book
something on the plan of our Ten.
perancc Catechism, but more I'd
vanced. Opening with the pledge
and prayer, it then in seven chap
ters, treats of the Virtue of Tens

perance in Scripture-Causes Of
Drunkenness-Tomperance and Bod

the Saloon--and Remedies for In
TEN perance. No one can read and
study this little manual without add
ing to their knowledge on these
questions, and certainly any one
living up to its precepts will be
blessed in body and soul.
A little "Lenten pledge" against
drinking and swearing has also been
prepared, concerning which Father
Sheedy says :'If we cannot get peo-
pie to 90 all the way with us, we
are ready TO ask them to come a
short distance. After they have

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The Republican Convention con-
vened in Minneapolis on Tuesday
the 18th and it was just 1880 when
Chairman Clarkson, OF the national
committee, struck the table q light
tap with the gravel. 1t was not
enough to restore order, but it
caused many of the delegates to sit
down and to cease conversation. A
moment later Mr.. Clarkson brought
the gravel down again twice sharply,
and the convention and galleries
came to order quickly and there was
not delegate standing when Mr..
Clarkson announced that the ses-
sion would be opened with prayer
by the Rev. Dir. Brush, Chancellor
of the University of South Dakota.
Hon. j. Sloat Fassett of Elmira,
n. Y, was made temporary chair
man, who cheered the convention
with one of his pleasant addresses,
after which Hon. Thos. B. Reed gave
q short address.
After roll call and the naming of
committees the convention at las
adjourned until ii o'clock Wednes-
day.

The calamity visited upon the
people Of Titusville and Oil City re
calls memories OF the dreadful dis
aster that swept the Conenaugh
Valley three years ago. Although
not SO destructive to human life the
horrors of the combined food of
water and burning oil were even
more terrible to contemplate as the
atfrighted people were aroused from
peaceful slumbers to realization of
their impending fate. The sympathy
of the whole country goes out to
these stricken people. A prosper.
Gus region has been laid to waste.
homes and factories wiped out, and
scores of precious human liyes
sacrificed to the destroying elements.
This is an awful picture fer the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania to gaze upon,
and it was caused by Il dam, like
that which destroyed Johnstown.
Surely it is time to take steps that
will prevent a repetition of such
horrors, and where such danger exist
they should be removed.
