The Rich Building.

One of the handsomest edifices in the
city is the new Rich building, just COM
pleted, on Exchage street. In fact that
portion of Exchage street from the cor
ner of Federal, extending to and includ-
ing the Jose building, is, enthusiastically,
the most attractive in town.
The Rich building is four stories in
height, % feet front, so feet deep, and
has an addition in the rear 15x25 feet.
The front of the building is of the Vene-
tian style of architecture, is built of
white pressed brick with terra Gotta
trimming, and with its double French
plate windows, one of which is a pretty
Venetian, has a most agreeable effect.
Three of the floors are to be occupied
by the well known firm of funeral direc-
tors and embalmers, S. S. Rich & Son.
In the basement is the storeroom for
wooden cases and the dressing room,
fitted with marble slab, the steam heat
ing apparatus, closets, etc. On the first
floor is the office, which is circular in
shape, finished in oak, and handsomely
appointed. On the wall is life like pic
ture of the late S. S. Rich, who estab-
lished the business 60 years ago, and
which is now carried on by Andrew j.
Rich and his son Albert. On this floor
is the reception room, which is finished
in oak, with large old fashioned fire
place, and in the rear are the work
rooms.
On the second floor front are number
of handsomely appointed offices, the rear
being used as warehouse parlor by the
firm. 1t is handsomely carpeted and is
fitted with 26 ash cabinets for the dis
play of caskets, and on the opposite side
are cases for the display of robes.
The third floor is elegantly fitted up
for offices, with set bowls, ETC., and the
fourth floor will be used as stock room
by the firm.
The building contains Morse eleva-
tor running to all floors, is heated by
steam and lighted by electricity, and the
firm of S. S. Rich & Son have without
doubt the finest and best equipped un-
dertaking establishment east of Boston.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A Nutmeg Match.

Il VI
orchestra to rear gallery Saturday night,
and the audience roared over the bur-
lesque scenes of "a Nutmeg Match"
thrilled with borrow at the pile driving
scene, and applauded literally all the dra-
matte love scenes of the play. The piece
queer mixture of melo-drama, emo
tional drama, comedy and burlesque. If
half of the first act was cut out and half
of the second put into it and the curtain
fell with the close of the third act, the
construction would be good. The fourth
act which is all burlesque, has amusing
features, but the play is done when Jim
ert Lucas, consents to the marriage of
Cinders and William. The good acting
of the company carries the piece. Mr..
A. Eberle as Uncle Bob, Annie Lewis as
Cinders, David Warfield as Brick and
Henry Herman as Jim Saunders, were
all good The curtain was called after

says:
The play was produced here early in
the season and scored big success. 1t
is not overdrawn, but natural in plot and
free from many of the improbable eli
makes of most dramas of this kind. In
Miss Mohawk who is the only real In
dian actress on the stage, and was educa-
ted in university in Ohio, the character
of the mail carrier receives an intelligent
and conscientious impersonation. The
Young lady has studied hard to perfect
herself in her profession, and she has
succeeded. She introduces song in the
second act, which is sung with great
deal of expression. The supporting
company is also very good.

can one speak of Sunol, 2:0S14, and queen
of the trotting turf, without mentioning
the man who trained her for her marvellous
mile and finally sent her under the wire?
This is but one of Marvin's great achieve
ments, and when it is remembered that he
trained and drove Palo Alto, the present
king of stations, to his worlds record of
2:0S24; that Bell Bird, 2:26l4 for time dur
ing 1891 the yearling champion of the world,

that age of 2:10$4, and that he drove Sunol
when she made the worlds and 4-year.
old records of 2:i015 and when she de-
throned Maud S, it will be seen that there
is no exaggeration in calling Marvin the
king of trainers and drivers.
On Nov II, 1891, the worlds trotting
records were all held by one state, Califor-
MIA, the trotters that made them were all
from one sire-Electioneer-they had all
been owned by one breeder-Senator Stan
ford-and had all been trained and driven
to their records by one man-Charles Mar
vim The same wonderful state of affairs
exists today, except that Bell Bird has
been dethroned as the yearling champion
by Frou Frou. Marvin recently severed
his long and honorable connection with
Palo Alto and will train and drive his
own horses in the future. He has plan
for kite shaped track, down grade all
the way, upon which he believes a mile
may be made in two minutes.

York toasted the ship and her commander
Captain Albers, who like all great COM
manders is d very modest man, then said
that he thought the Fuerst Bismarck was
without a peer even among the magnificent
feet of steamers which cross the ocean
nowadays, and he believed that the vessel
would beat the record and without any at
tempt at racing.
a trip or two later Captain Albers' be
lief was confirmed. He took the Fuerst
Bismarck from Southampton to New York
in so speedy time, cutting through two Sc
we're gales, that the record was beaten by
several hours, and this feat at once gave
him great prominence, not only in naval
circles but among those who yearly cross
the ocean.
The Fuerst Bismarck is mammoth
ship, the largest, with possibly two excep-
tions, which crosses the ocean. Carl Schurz,
since he quilted political life, where he
earned his fame, has been the American
representative of this line. And it has been
a curious spectacle to see this man who fed
from Prussia in 1913 because a price was
set upon his head, who was a major gen
eral in the Union army soon after he was
thirty. and whom President Lincoln sent
W cpdlu dS CnIteu SUtteS minister, VINO
was United States senator before he was
forty, member of President Hayes cabi-
net before he was fifty, who has charmed
great political audiences so that he is re-
garded as one of the masters of the English
tongue, although the German language is
his mother tongue-;t was curious sight
to see this man going into raptures over
the Fuerst Bismarck, confessing that he
took as much pleasure and pride in her
achievement as he had ever in any Of his
successes, and asserting that Captain AL
beers deserved to be classed with the great
generals. HENRY ATHERToN.

ally, inherently depraved woman. sellisI
and sensuous TO the hearts core.
AS representation of light, wanton,
careless, pleasure loving creature. outside
the pale of respectability and yet scarcely
within the half world, Miss Harned's work
certainly must be classed as extremely ar
tistic. When she, with the most graceful
disdain, the most superb nonchalance, re-
pulses the dukes offer of marriage in the
very words with which he has previously
rebuffed her. then does the audience glory
III her spunk and give her the reclamation
which the stage adventures always gets
when she downs the stage hero.
When "As in A Looking Glass" that
clever, uDcOmpromising statement of the
inner life of an intrigante was dramatized,
all the prominent actresses felt call to
show how absolutely vicious they could pre-
tend to be. Among others that lady who has
recently announced that she will try no more
for the American dollar, she OF whom so
much has been written that there is nothing
left to say. took whack at poor Lena and
succeeded in demonstrating TO the public
that she could play the adventures with
smoothness and finish. Lahgtry was GER
certainly beautiful and interesting Lena
Despard and depicted the soullessness OF
the character with fidelity. The feature
of the play was her death, when after
yanking down curtains, breaking up the
furniture and turning sOmersault or two,
she finally passed into space.
An exceedingly clever Interpretation of
role of this character was that given by
Albina De Mer, the wife of NJ. B. Curtis,
in 'Sam1 of Posen." Her accent, man
ner and poses were clever in every detail
Poor LADY, she is playing the devoted wife
now, having sold her jewels and land to
defend her wretched husbands life in his
forthcoming trial for murder.
The role of Mrs Pinchbeck in Robert
sons comedy of Home" has ever been a
favorite-with actresses. Madeline Hen
riques was an ideal Mrs Pinchbeck, and
invested the character with mournful
charm. Mrs Kendall essayed the part this
season, but produced dismal effect.
Rose Eytinge's great talents always
showed to advantage in the role of the adj
ventures. Who can ever forget her Miss
Mutton. 1t was powerful and emotional
picture, and tears flowed always for the
erring woman, never for the good little
wife
1.-The New Magdalen" and Diplomacy
give scope 1Or the actress VINO WISHES to
play role of this character Countess
Zicka, in the latter play, is full of diaboIic
possibilities.
''Odetta" is a play which shows some of
the worst phases of which woman's ma
ture is capable, and yet in the title role
both Ada Rehan and Nine. Modjeska have
secured signal triumphs. So while it is
true that in the mimic world virtue is re-
warded and vice gets her just deserts, still,
as a rule. we love to watch the latter go to
the dogs, if she descend in an artistic fash
