Troubles OF an ImpresSariO-The Audience
Had All the Fun, for Manager Harris
Couldn't See Where the Laugh Came In
A Lot of Funny Doings.
-tBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcHl
LONDON, Nov. 5.-There were funny do
ings at Royal Italian Opera Thursday
night. Baron McGuckin has long wished
to play Don Jose in Carmen" and Colonel
Mapleson this week persuaded Manager
Harris to try the Irish tenor. Finding
Carmen" was to be sung in Italian, Nc
lost his nerve and backed out, with the
result that Harris had to engage Signor
Morello at q days notice Unhappily,
Morello had no clothes for the part, and
the wardrobe department at Covent Garden
had to work at high pressure to get his suit
finished in time. The job was not COM
pleted until Gas o'clock Thursday
evening At $50 o'clock Morello had
his clothes on. Five minutes later
he was raging, shrieking, weeping lunatic,
having unwisely stopped and split his
beautiful new trousers. Tenors are highly
sensitive creatures, and scenes are frequent
behind the curtain at Covent Garden, but
this scene beat the record. The tail
but the Implication that a first
tenor could possibly go on the stage with
patched trousers merely added insult to in
jury, and the fuss ended at 7:20 o'clock in
Morello driving of to parts unknown. As
Manager Harris was not at hand, and
neither of his assistants could be found,
Conductor Bevignani, after q hurried
council of war with the chief singers,
decided to put on "The Barber of
Seville" and the messengers were de-
spatched in hot haste for Madame Nevada
and Signor Padilla Meanwhile, the audi
ence had begun howl at the delay, and in
order to sppeafe them Bevignani started
the Barber overture" The orchestra had
not got tar with this when Bevignani re-
ceived news that Senior Padilla had gone to
Paris, whereupon the conductor and orches-
ira abruptly collapsed.
At this critical moment Manager Harris
arrived, wisely went before the curtain, and
explained that Morello had been taken sud-
denly ill, and claimed the indulgence of
the audience, of which, however, he re-
ceived very little. A scene of ''Traviata'
was put on while Harris vainIy hunted for
leading singers to enable him to follow with
"Cavalleria Rusticana"
Then bit of "Trovatore" was tried,
and during this time the audience were
kissing at that. A fruitless search was
made for McGuckin. Finally the Ker-
messe scene of 'Fsust" was given, with
one of the chorus girls as prima donna. but |
everything went wrong, and the remainder |
of the audience having laughed and yelled |
themselves hoarse, went home for much |
needed rest. All parties concerned are |
agreed that 1t was very trying night.

His Fugitive Wife to Be Pursued and Pun

PARIS, Nov. 5.-As soon as Edward
Parker Deacon obtained from the tribunal
of the Seine an order placing his children
in his custody, he proceeded to the con-
vent of Our Lady of the Assumption at
Anteuil to get his eldest daughter. When
he arrived at the convent the Lady Super

which was q holiday, and had taken
her daughter away. Neither of them had
returned. Mr.. Deacon evidently did not

had again outwitted him and obtained
possession of the girl. Mr.. Deacon and
the Police Commissary then went to Mrs
Deacon's residence in the Rue Grenelle,
but they found nobody there.
Mr. Deacon is determined to get posses
sion of his daughter. He will be assisted
by the court whose order Mrs. Deacon has
disobeyed. To-day Mr. Deacon will apply
to the Prefect of Police for assistance in re-
covering the girl, and unless Mrs Deacon
has fed the country, she will certainly be
caught and punished for abduction. A
friend of MI. Deacon asserts that Mrs Dea-
cons object in abducting the girl is to re-
tain the guardianship of the child and SO
use her position as guardian to preserve her
footing in society.
Mrs. Deacon will appeal from the verdict,
and the appeal will be heard Wednesday
Mrs. Deacon's lawyers to-day offered to
surrender the child now in her possession,
but they named certain conditions that Mr..
Deacon refused to agree to, and the negoti-
ations fell through.

AN ABSORBING COMEDY.

The Leader-Smythe Case Hard to Draw a
Moral From-A Wonderful Chain of
Coincidents-Great Interest in the Case
Among Londoners.
tRY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, Nov. "a small brooch
adorned with brilliants, by courtesy called
diamonds, has furnished the absorbing
comedy Of the week for all England. The
fate of the trifing ornament has commanded
the attention of high court for three whole
days, and the big digni6sd London journals
have wisely judged that the public curiosity
over the proceedings required page daily
OF their valuable space to satisfy it.
The outlines of what is now known as the
great brooch case of Leader versus Smythe
have already been cabled. The jury has
decided with good deal of emphasis that
young and pretty Mrs Leader, daughter of
a major general and wife of an army officer,
did not steal the favorite Jewel of her
friend, the wife of Major General Smythe.
The verdict of $1,000 damages against
Mira Smythe, for calling Mrs. Leader 8
thief and sticking to it, is on the whole re-
ceived with approval by the public The
decision declares the jury's belief in what
is perhaps the most wonderful chain of
condolences ever proved. The question
finally came to this: Were there two
brooches exactly alike, and each SO peculiar
that no witness ever saw their counter
part?
Having accepted this coincidence, the
jury finds that Mrs. Leader sold her brooch
within day or two of the mysterious dis
appearance of Mrs Smythe's brooch, and
also coincident with a call upon Mrs
Smythe by Mrs Leader few days later
Mrs Smythe happened to see the Leader
brooch in the window of the jeweler to
whom Mrs Leader sold it. Then followed
the not unnatural accusation. Mrs. Leaders
reputation was saved by the testimony of
witnesses who swore they had seen her
brooch in her possession before Mrs Smythe
lost hers
The case is la5oriously discussed by all
the newspapers this morning. The Times
has brought upon itself the wrath of all
womankind by ascribing to them "more
marked" taste for ilI-natured gossip than
their husbands and brothers possess Most
editors, however, fail to find moral in the
most extraordinary story.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The declaration by

with the public even the compliment to the
