An Interesting II Somewhat Perplexing
Novelty in the Opera Comique Line.
'oThe Mountebanks," comic opera in the
true sense, was played for the first time in
PIttsburg yesterday afternoon and last
night in the Duquesne Theater by the Lii
lian Russell Company. It is the opera
which W. s. Gilbert wrote in partnership
with Arthur Cellier, the composer, and
which was hardly completed when the latter
died. The alliance OF Gilbert and Sullivan
is never likely to be equaled in results,
but s'The Mountebanks" shows that Gilbert
& Cellier collaborated to some purpose. It
is stronger as to music than In plot, action,
dialogue or lyrics. Some of the music is Of
a high order; there is melodious smooth
ness in most of the measures which was Q
notable feature Of Golfers Dorothy"
There are not many striking airs;
jingles are scarce, and 1.-THE Mounte-
banks" will certainly never be
"Pinafore" or "Patisnce' were. The
story of the opera is in reality slender
enough, whimsical in motive and sug9es-
tive Of laughter. but it is not hung together
neatly nor does it unfold itself clearly and
rapidly.
The performance, as q whole, was very
good. The chorus was especially true and
spirited in its work, the mems voices being
very well handled. There is no star part
in the piece, and Lillian Russell has not 50
much chance to shine as she probably would
like. She sang with considerable strength and
artistic sense, and won several encoreA.
She made beautiful picture as usual But
the character does not suit her very we'll
Miss Laura Clement was far better cast as
the dancing girl who becomes an automaton.
Mr. Coffin sang with much sweetness and
grace, but he had really very little to do.

GIVING FRBIGHTs A CHANCE.
Passenger Trains Bunched in the Ne


Passenger Trains Bunched in the New
Pennsylvania Schedule.
The winter chedule of the Pennsylvania
road will 60 into effect next Sunday. 1t
has been many years since such wholesale
changes have been made in the running of
through trains, and it is all done for the
accommodation of the Worlds Fair busi-
ness. The passenger trains have been
punched morning and evening.
Train Master Culp explained that the
object was to gain two periods of eight
hours each during the day for freight
trains. Under the new schedule the morn
ing trains from the East will arrive about
7:45 in the morning, instead of struggling
in up to 9 o'clock. The fast line at night
due here at 11:55 will be little later. The
Columbian express will. arrive at o'clock
in the evening from New York and the
limited at 11:30.
Mr.. Culp thinks the new running card
for passenger trains is the best the road
ever adopted.
Superintendent Price, of the Allegheny
Valley road, went to Philadelphia last night
He said some changes in time would have
to be made on the Valley to connect with
Pennsylvania trains The Buffalo express
will leave half hour later in the morning
and at night. This will give passengers on
the Columbian express a chance to reach
points along the Allegheny Valley without
spending the night in Pittsburg.

PARTY RULES GOVERN.

Attorney General HenseI on Those Fifth
Ward Nominations.
While Attorney General Hensel was in
this city yesterday morning, a prominent
county official asked him about the merits
of the nominations made in the Fifth ward,
Allegheny, last Tuesday night Mr.. Hen
sci was guarded in his reply. He said a
parallel case could be found in Buffalo
township, in an Eastern county, which
case had been decided in court under the
Baker law. When the case was looked up,
it was found the Court had held that nomi-
nations were governed by the rules of the
political parties in the locality where the
dispute might occur. This Is what the Re
publican Committee maintains and they
say the Attorney Generals position fully
substantiates their claim.
c. ". Lewis, candidate for Common
Council, who was placed on the ticket
nominated at last Tuesdays meeting,
called on the County Commissioners yes
terday and asked that his name be kept off
that ticket He said he appreciated an in
dorsement from the Reform Association,
but wanted to be nominated on the regular
Republican ticket and he did not consider
that meeting Republican meeting. There
was one Democrat on. the ticket and that
settled it
Commissioner Mercer said he would in
yestigate the clsims made by the Republic
can Committee of Allegheny and the Re-
formers IS well, but his impression was
that the certificate submitted to him was
not regular Republican nomination.

HELPING HOMESTEAD.

What the Amalgamated Association On
cials Think of the Situation.
The Amalgamated Association is taking
lively interest in the movement to help
the destitute at Homestead. The associa-
ton has q committee that has been supplied
with funds from the national Offices, but
its work has not been on scale adequate to
the needs of the large number OF unem-
ployed.
Secretary Kilgallon said last evening that
efforts were being made to secure positions
for the Homestead men in other places with
a fair degree of success, though the season
and condition of trade were against them.
81 am glad" he continued, ''to see the
efforts made by the public in behalf of the
men who are suffering at Homestead. Our
committee report there are as many cases as
stated In the papers, and that the need is as
great We are doing what we can, but
there is too much to be done The trouble
is there can be few positions elsewhere for
these men, so that it will likely be a long
time before all can be self supporting. We
got places for two men yesterday, but the
work is going along very slowly"

SEVERAL NEW CANDIDATES

Mentioned In Connection with the Mayor
alty-wsrden John McAleess Talked
of-Hon. M. b. Lemon l. Suggested
The Democratic Situation.
Several new names were talked of in con-
nection with the Republican Msyoralty
nomination, but the situation is practically
the same as it was two weeks ago. Warden
John McAleese was prominently mentioned
among others as material for the head of
q winning ticket His record ut the head
of the police department, his management
of his present charge, his personal popular
ity and the fact that he has alwss been an
aggressive, active Republican, are the ar
guments used in his favor. Hon. NJ B
Lemons name was also suggested. Mr.
Lemon is the Oldest member Of the Legisla-
ture from this county, in point of service,
and an old soldier. His friends say he
would draw the soldier vote, his party vote
and the vote of large personal following
without regard 20 party lines
In regard to the Controllership, Q sugges-
tion, credited to Republican leader, was
that Mayor Gourley be nominated on the
popular ticket It was said for the move
that it would be good politics, and that it
would not only strengthen the ticket, but
the party a. we'll In event of Controller
Morrow's refusal to accept . denomination,
a proposition is talked of to make him City
CLERK, which position he held before he was
elected Controller, and to nominate George
Booth, the present clerk for Controller.
d. R. Torfence, of the City Tressurer's Of
fee, is also spoken of IS q candidate.
There 10 no change in the Democratic
Mayoralty situation. MeKenna is still
running along with practically no opposi-'
ticn. There was some talk of Captain Kerr
for Controller and Pressly Fleming for
Treasurer, but both have positively de-
olsred they would not be candidates. Mr..
Kerr wants nothing but the Mayoralty
nomination. Joseph R Hunter is also
talked of for Treasurer.

John Hamler Arrested for Throwing Stones
at Houses.
Two charges OF breach of peace and ma
licious mischief were yesterday entered
against John Hamler at Alderman Nc
Masters Office. The prosecutors are G. j.
Roth and James s. Mckee. All the parties
are residents of Castle Shannon.
In making the information Messrs. Nc
Kee and Roth said that the defendant for
some time past had amused himself by
throwing large stones at their houses Sew
eral people had reconstructed, with Hamler
for his strange action, but this only
served to make him throw more stones
Finally ne was arrested and taken before a
Justice of the Peace. The Justice pro-
nounced him insane and said he should be
sent to the insane department of the county
hospital.
Here Hamler was subjected to an exam
ination, and the physicians said there was
nothing the matter with him. He was re-
leased; whereupon he returned to his old
haunts and resumed his target practice. His
victims concluded to have him arrested, and
entered charges before Alderman McMas-
ters. The latter held him in 81, 900 bail for

A Girl Of Is and Man Of 40 in Trouble
An OIL Field Romance-The Dramatic
Scene at the Lovers Arrest.
Detectives Glenn and Akin, of Allegheny,
last night arrested George W. Lowden at
his boarding place on East Diamond street
on 9 serious charge, and locked him up in
the Central station.
Lowden, who is handsome fellow and
dresses we'll, is an oil driller and during
last August and September worked in the
Wildwood oil region. During his sojourn
he clandestinely made love to the 13-year-
old daughter of Mrs. .Rebecca
Kelley, poor but, respectable
widow, and succeeded in getting the
child madly in love with him. Lowden's
attentions to the girl soon reached the ears
of her mother, and as Lowden is not far
from 40 years of age the mother strongly
opposed his attentions to her daughter and
warned the child to beware of him, as his
attentions to her meant, if allowed to 60
on, her downfall and disgrace
Shortly after this Lowden left the Wild
wood oil region; and although the girl knew
he had left her she made no complaint until
Wednesday last. On Thursday her mother
went before Police Magistrate Brinker, of
Allegheny, and made information against
Lowden. A warrant was issued for his
arrest, and last night Superintendent of
Police Muth learning that Lowden was
boarding on East Diamond street, detailed
Detectives Glenn and Akin to arrest him.
When the detectives entered Lowden's
room he was sitting at a table writing.
Detective Glenn seeing at a glance that
they had their man, having a good cabinet
photo of him in his possession, said: "How
are you, George?" Lowden looked up, and
realizing that he was about to be arrested,
turned deathly pale, and muttering some
thing like, 'Tt has come at last, readily
consented to go with the oficerA He will
be given hearing before Police Magistrate
Brinker tomorrow afternoon at 2:30

PREJUDICE AGAINST opALa
The Superstition of q Few Years Ag'
Rapidly Dying Out In America.

The Superstition of q Few Years Ago
Rapidly Dying Out In America.
D. Earl, of Sydney, Australia, regis
tered at the Anderson yesterday. He is
engaged in the opal business, large quanti-
ties Of which have been found within the
last ten years in the country. There are
now extensive opal mines in Queens
land and New South Wales. Previ-
Gus to the discovery of the
Australian opals, the Hungarian
stones supplied the market, but Mr.. Earl
says the latter have been run ont of the
trade. The opal is found in very crude
condition. The fiery part, which Is capable
OF fine polish, is removed and is easily
prepared. The colors in the Australian
opal are very distinct
The prejudice that exists against the opal
in some countries is curious. Several
years ago they were considered unlucky
by Americans and Englishmen, but
the superstition is rapidly dying out in both
countries. However. Peacock, the Chicago
jeweler, isVmortally afraid of them, and will
not have one in his store, though the calls
for the opal are numerous. To show how
ridiculous the prejudice is Q Philadelphia
lady some time ago bought one, and shortly
afterward valuable dog, aged 13 years,
suddenly died. With great fear she took
the stone back and had it exchanged. Mr..
Earl suggested that any dog that had at
tained 13 years was old enough to die. In
Austria the opal is considered lucky, while
in Russia it is the death stone
Speaking of Australia, Mr.. Earl said the
country was growing rapidly. The greatest
drawback to its development is its remote
position from Europe. 1t is 45 days sail
from London and q from San Francisco.
The native bushmen are almost extinct
They were too lazy to live. They neglected
their offspring and naturally the race soon
died out.

THE CITIZENS INDUSTRIAL ALLIANCE.

A Ticket May Be Put Into the Field by the
Labor Unions of the County.
The Citizens Industrial Alliance will
hold meeting in Odd FehowB' Hall, on
South Eighteenth street, to-day. 1t is
Thought the question of putting . ticket
into the field for the coming spring election
will come up, or whether only the candi-
dates on the regular tickets will be in
dorsed. The Alliance is composed entirely
of members of labor unions in, Allie
gheny county. The purpose for which
the alliance was formed was to effect certain
reforms in the interests of labor. It had
never been the intention of the organiza-
-tion to nominate ticket but simply en-
dorse candidates favorable to their interests
Since its organization, however, there has
been feeling that they shogld have their
own candidates.
Branches of the Alliance have been
formed in Allegheny and several wards of
this city. The Thirteenth ward was organ
lied Friday night The Allegheny branch
will hold a meeting this evening at 6S Ohio
street. At these meetings delegates are ex-
pected to be present from all parts Of the
county.
