Dandried's Rooster Flaps His Wings
Irrelevantly in Court.
In Judge Buckley's court yesterday NJ.
G. Dandried was charged with disturbing
the peace of A. Zangerle.
He testified that he heard a rifle fired
and something whistle through the air.
He went out and found Zangerle in a
wagon and a boy with rifle in his hand
which Zangerle had fired. Zangerle fol-
lowed witness into his house and wanted
to fight.
T. Wardlaw and his boy both testified
that Dandried called Zangerle thief and
vile name.
Zangerle said he discharged the rifle
into the ground in order to empty it, and
Dandried threatened to have him arrested
and called him several vile names.
The trouble seems to have been Origi-
nally over the ownership OF rooster two
years ago, which Dandried persisted in
dragging into the case, exciting much fun
in the courtroom.
Zangerle was charged with discharging
firearms within the city limits. Both
were found guilty and fined 81 80 each.

Posting at the Clubs.

The posted list of most New York clubs
is business barometer. Such lists are
unusually long and their items unusu-
ally persistent in times of depression.
But with the return of business sunshine
they melt like snow at the approach of
spring. 1t is point of pride with some
men never to be thus posted for debt, but
there are snobs who contemplate with
satisfaction the appearance of their names
once a month on the bulletin board along
with the names of distinguished men in
whose company they would be glad to be
seen upon any terms.

The Clunie Opera-house Stock Com
pany will tonight repeat Mr.. Halley's
border drama. "Nick Floyd, or the Train
Robbers" The play goes well, has scored
a success and gives the leaders in the
company exceptional opportunity for
good work. Mr.. Wards Judge, Mrs.
Wards Betty, Miss Miflin's Alma. Mr..
Bacon's Moses and Miss Weidman's
Mrs. Bell, are characters calling for
artistic skill of high degree, though the
people personated move upon lowly
levels. To say that the actors and
actresses named meet the demand freely
is but to make a record of a fact.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Perhaps as high a tribute as could be
paid to Miss Davenporps production OF
the spectacle and tragedy of Cleopatra"
is found in the fact that for three nights
she has given it in this city to full houses
and not one person has on either occasion
left the theater until the curtain fell on
the last act, though the drama is an unu-
/ ally long one. Last night every seat IN
! the Metropolitan Theater was sold before
/ the curtain went up; every particle OF
| standing room allowable under pollce
regulations was sold before the first act
was concluded and more than hundred
| people, many of them ladies, were turned
/ from the doors, unabled to gain position
/ from which to witness the spectacle
and play. It is entirely probable that
| the piece would have drawn Tor
six nights as we'll as for three. even at the
double prices charged. Tonight MISS
/ Davenport will present the interesting
! French and intensely sensational and
much-debated LA Tosca." In this piece
there is far greater and better opportunity
! for dramatic art work than IN cleo
! patra," since there is more OF emotlonal
/ demand, and less of adventitious aid III
the way OF spectacular effects and skilled
use OF stage machinery. Fanny Daven-
port is conceded to be the best La Tosca
! playing the character in the English
| tongue. She has made a success in the
part wherever she has played it, and has
done what all artists are pleased to do, dl-
vided the critics in opinion in analysis OF
the method, since it is held that such di-
vision is evidence of the originality OF the
actor, and of the interest he or she
awakens among the critical. This will be
the last appearance of the company here
this season. 1t is q strong and well-bal-
anced organization and will unquestion-
ably give LA Tosca' with the same ex-
cellence that has marked its work in
cleopatra"
