He Realized His Indebtedness,
but He Couldn't Afford to Pay.
The proSperous-lo looking business man
was plainly angry, says the Chicago
Tribune, when we walked into the Office
and asked:
"Is there a man named Singlewood
here?''
The pale, solemn-looking young man
sitting at a desk in one corner of the
room looked up and replied:
MY name is SinglewoOd.
"a. J. Singlewood?" asked the bust
ness man, striding over toward him.
"Alfred J. SingleWOod," returned the
young man.
Your wife has baby" exclaimed
the business man.
"Why. yes, thank you-a boy" The
young man fairly beamed as he started
to get up from the chair.
Never mind the SEX" returned the
business man sharply. "Your wife
has baby and you have lot of blamed
fool friends"
"Well, frankly" said the the young
man. 1.-The boys have rather OverdOne

They've sent me rattles and bottles and
all that sort of things"
"And they've sent you dispatches,
'collecr?'"

man, pleasantly; "but after opening the
first one didn't accept any others. 1
couldn't afford to, you know. l told
the telegraph boys they mast be for
some other A. J. SinglewOod."
"Of course, of course" exclaimed the
business man. excitedly. And there's
only one other A. ]. SingleWOOd in the
directory"
Il know it," returned the young man.
Hes a contractor over in the SkyScrap-
er building. That's what told the tele-
graph and messenger boys"
You told 'eml That's what you -"
The business man almost burst blood
vessel, but finally Gained himself by a
great effort, and went on: young
man, that contractor does a large
amount of business by telegraph,
and he can't afford to refuse

He displayed dispatch which read:

Then warming up to his subject again
he said:
"That contractor, young man, is a re-

it rolls him to pay half dollar for some

DUFFos COMIC OPERA,

In Lecocq's Comic Opera, s.Thes
Queens Mate" at the Metro,
pOIitan. F..
The announcement of one PERFORM
ance to be given Thursday evening at
the Metropolitan of the comic opera,
1.-THE Queens Mate" by the Duff Opera
company, will interest our music lovers,
and doubtless cause feeling of regret
that the engagement cannot be ex
tended. The company is headed by
Miss Helen Bertram, a young American
singer who has carried everything be-
fore her in her successful career. Pos
sessed of an unusually attractive APP
pearance, with youth. and brilliant
soprano voice of all extraordinary
range, she lost no time in
winning her way to popularity,
while the public, always quick to reeog
niZe genuine talent, readily acknowl
edged her ability by their hearty
plaudits. In the character of Anita,
Queens Mate" ample opportunities are
afforded her TO appear to the best aid
vantage. The second parts, or SOU
brette roles. as they are usually termed,
are intrusted to Miss Bettina Gerard, a
lady who appears here for the first
time, of whom report speaks most fat
teringly. A rather novel and unique
feature of the performance will be
found in the introduction of aSpapish
dance by Miss Gussie Cogan.
In the construction of a comic opera
performance of today the comedian is
an all-important factor, for upon his
shoulders rest the greatest share of re
spOnsi5ilities. The part of Juigo, for
which Richard Carroll has been cast, is
in itself a comic creation, and in his
hands the fun is said to be incessant.
The tenor of the company, John J. Raj
fael, though offered but few opportini-
ties for the exercise of his vocal talents
in this opera, is an excellent actor, as
well as a singer, combination to De
found but rarely. The remainder of
the company includes Miss Minnie Du
Rue, Grace Anterior, Henry Stanley,
Melville Stewart, William Schuster,
Carl Hartberg. etc.
The Queens Mate" which has been
adapted to the English stage by Harry
PaultOn, the music composed by Charles
LecOcq, was first produced at the Broad-
way theater, New York, where it en-
joyed a run of 200 nights. Since that
time it has been played throughout the
country in all the largest cities of this
country with unvarying success.
The chorus, which has always been'a
conspicuous feature of the Duff's per-
formances, will number fifty voices, and
the orchestra, increased for this occa-
sion to twenty-five pieces, will be UNDER
the direction of Lelli Simonsen. u.

woman. this precautiOn- being needed
for the protection of the inspectress,
the government, and the suspected
smuggler. The inSpectreSS asks the
smuggler to remove her hat and gown.
If the woman refuses the inspectreSS
threatens to call man officer, if she
prefers to have him make the inspec-
ton. This usually produces ready obe-
dience. The old offender submits to
the search very amicably once she sees
that it is inevitable, fawns upon
the inspectress and endeaYors to win
favor. The novice gets hysterical.

MUSIC And DRAMA.
@
Great Bill of Attractions for
the Metropolitan This
Week.
Frederick Warde Will Open
in "The Lions Mouth
This Evening.
Duff's Opera Company Will
Be Heard for One Night,
Thursday.
UA1ano l., InndCnc Dpnui6nd
"Alone in London" Provided
for the Patrons of Lifts
Theater.

1.-THE Lions Mouth" will be played
by Frederick Warde and his company
at the Metropolitan for the first three
nights of his engagement, commencing
this evening. 1t belongs to the stately
society of dramas, written in resonant
blank verse, in IN atmosphere murky
with the smoke of all the great passions
whose fires smOuldered under priestly
robes and the rich garments that
clothed social and civic power in the
older centers. "The Lions Mouth" is
simply and admirably constructed. The
development of the story is neatly, I'M
STRANGELY worked out, with no attempt
at claptrap of effect. ~
There are no subtle new devices
used, but there are no hackneyed ones
to suggest paucity of original dra-
matte instinct. The climaxes come
naturally. The third act is the strohg-
est and the ending most effective.
The Lions Mouth" is play of the
very first rank and an example of the
heroic drama calculated to attract at
tention once again to that form Of
play. TO the success of the piece the
altogether powerful and dignified act
ing of Frederick Warde undoubtedly
contributes in great proportion. Mr..
Warde is just the actor for the part of
Paul de Novara. Heavier actors of the
class at present all seem to be too
heavy. but Mr.. Warde, made young
and flexible by a new spirit of the
romantic, acts and delivers his lines
throughout with the ring of an enthusi
asm far away from his other characters.
In that admirable mean between the
the collGquiaI and the purely declanla
tory, Mr.. Warde holds himself, and the
vigor of his acting gives vibrant life to
the character. The play is mast
admirably dressed and beautifully
mounted. On the final night
of the engagement, Wednesday,
Mr.. Warde will present damon and
Pythias." Mr.. Warde has carved out
reputation for himself as Damon that
stands as firm in the hearts of theater
goes as did Edwin Forests in his palm
lest days. That same care of detail
that has been one Of Mr.. Warde's
strongest characteristics predominafes
in the production of damon and
Pvthias;;" and his grand portrayal of
the character, together with the bril-
liant support of his company, have been
successful in largely augmentipg the
ranks of the Knights of Pythias, by.
whom Mr.. Warde is looked upon with
the greatest of respect and veneration..

He was received with open arms.
During the conversation which ensued
the eyes of the rural gentleman landed
upon the telephone which hung in one
corner of his relatives office. A tele-
phone was something new TO him. He
had heard of them IN general way,
but had never seen one in operation, so
expressed a desire ST see tn thing

handing the receiver to him, "if you'll

He listened. Then he backed away
from the instrument with panied ex-
preston.
"WelI," queried the broker, with a
friendly smile, "what did she Say?''
"She sed: i hope yew won't bring

There has rarely been bigger rush
at the box Office of the Metropolitan

This company, which played h9re

Its repertoire is large and varied, and
nothing too much can be said in its
praise. The engagement is naturally

Americans surely will derive equally as

James. as leading man; Frank Losee, a
member Of last years company; W. s;
Harkins, the leading juvenile man, will
be remembered as former member of
the old Peoples theater stock COM

stage will be in charge of MIR Edeson
who will have the assistance of 10
Paige Smith. OF the ladies engaged,
