ADJUSTMENTS

This evening at the Metropolitan Thea
ter, Sol Smith Russell in an inimitable
new character in Peaceful Valley.n
Russell as comedian stands without a
rival on the stage, because he is so thor
oughly original. His art is Russellian,
and no other player has ever ATTEMPTED
1t. lie has always presented a class of
presentations in which the eccentricities
have been associated with the love
Hest qualities manhood possesses. He
has been the true-hearted exponent of
the true hearts which are nearly always
found in bodies whose outside appear-
ance may not first seem attractive. Sol
Smith Russell has been a lesson to all in
his stage work-not to Judge by appear
ances. In "A Poor Relation" which has
been entirely revised and rewritten max
ing it practically new play, and which
is to be given tomorrow afternoon
and night, he is universally con-
ceded TO have surpassed all his
previous efforts. In sweetness of de-
1ineation and equal faithfulness. in ner-
lection of detail and in entertaining ex-
preston of distinct characteristics. Mr..
Russell has not even approached his
present excellence by any other effort.
This seems high laudation when one
thinks of the beauty of his performance
of Hosea Howe, but so the critics all
agree. In Peaceful Valley" Mr. Rus
sell has made one of the most pronounced
successes of his career. 1t combines the
pathetic with the comic in the most
happy manner. He has character that
fits his personality and his temperament
to perfection. Its humor is at all times
tinged with the pathetic. The whole play
is pervaded with wholesome sentiment.
The Irish-American comedian, Daniel
Sully, who has made a great success of
his play, 1.-The Millionaire" will present
it at the Metropolitan Theater Monday
and Tuesday. Sully's deIineation of
Irish character is unique and refreshing.
He invests the character of James
o. Brien with quaint humor and ready
wit, and obtains a friendly footing with
his audience from the start. The dialogue
of the piece is clear and sparkling. the
situations well planned, and the actions
spirited. The story illustrates the strup-
gle of an Irish contractor against the
wealth and influence of a powerful cor
poration. O'Brien has charter whereby
he is granted the right to construct
short connecting line between two
great railroad systems. The charter
provides that the work shall be COM
pleted on certain day. The opposing
syndicate, aware of the fact, try in every
way to prevent the completion of the work
and there is a great row with Irish and
Italian laborers, employers and contract
ors. 0'Brien, with Irish tact, meets and
overcomes all difficulty, but is placed in
many predicaments meanwhile, which
forms the rollicking fun of the play. Mr..
Sully's impersonation is broadly humor-
Gus, and the railroad scene in the second
act is faithfully drawn. Wednesday and
Thursday evenings Mr.. Sully's domestic

Cleveland has surrendered. The
willy and srtful chief of Tsmmahy has
forced the stubborn man of destiny TO
capitulate. Cleveland has rendered to
Senator Hill the portfolio Of the state
department. Lightning from q clear
sky would not be more unexpected.
The precedent observed for years re-
quirss that this distinction shall be paid
TO the candidate defeated in the con-
vention, but owing to the strained rela-
tions existing between the two, the
probability that the precedent would
be followed by Cleveland never has

Hill and Cleveland has no other ground
