part with force and feeling and vocaliz-
ing the difficult music with fluent grace
and finish. Her solo at the close of the
first act was one of the features of the
programme.
Miss Fanning.as Patti Sing, developed
sweet and responsive voice and win
ming grace of manner that at once in
stalled her as a prime faVorite. A little
more nerve or ginger would have
made her work irresistible. Mrs. Bar
rows, in the less conspicuous part Of
Peep b. was entirely successful.
The great hit OF the evening was
scored by Mr.. Fesser as Ko-KO. He has
not the best voice in the world, but it is
quite sufficient to the part, and carried
MIN nicely through all the music. But
it was in the histrionic end of his work
that ne shone with luster all his own.
1t is difficult part, and admits of great
possibilities, and he made the most of it.
Many as must be the Ko-Kos he has
seen, he copied none, but builded his
own creation, and made a success of it.
His presence of mind never deserted
him, and he was the king of the com
pany.
Mr. Wilkes as the Mikado was just
what might have been expected Of that
accomplished humorist and natural
comedian, and his late entry upon the
stage was greeted with ferVid applause.
His original comlcality kept the audi
ence in continual roar,
MIR. MerrilPs Nanki Poo was the best
thing yet attempted by that popular
and accomplished tenor 1t is surround
ed with difficulties, both of score and of
playing. To the former, Mr.. Merrill
was easily equal, his voice seldom
ha1 i1 tO odx for
but little more freedom Of manner
would have added to playing of the
part.
Col. Reeve made model Pooh Bah,
though little more affected stiffness
would not have been amiss, and little
more volume to the lower notes would
have been appreciated by the rear
seats. In this connection, and with a
view to making a fine play still more
enjoyable, it may be said that
the one falling was in not throw
ing more force into the music when it
approached the low registers, the effect
being to diminish the voice and lose it
to the hearing of the rear half of the
audience. Col. Reeve had a splendid
conception Of the part, and the same
may be said of MIR. Robinson as Pish-
Tush. His fine, smooth bass was heard
to perfection, especially in the wedding
bells quartette, which was the concert
ed gem Of the evening.
The chorus deserves more than a
passing notice. 1t was admirably
trained and costumed, and lent efficient
aid throughout the opera.
In summing up the "Mikado," it may
be said it has been handled in the above
review and criticised in the same man
ner as though it had been a professional
company, and it is the highest compli-
ment when it Is said that the opera
passed off as smoothly as if such had
been the fact. With half the practice
and experience owned by professional
company, it would totally eclipse three
fourths of the companies on the road.

LADIES IN "A HEAP.
"A Platform Crowded With Women
Gives Way.

Gives Way.
CHICAGO, May 20.-The closing days
session Of the women's congress auxil-
iary was marked by an accident. Short
ly after O'Clock this morning a section
OF flooring 20X3O feet in extent, forming
an entrance to Washington hall. in the
art institute, suddenly gave way and
fell to the ground distance of twelve
feet. Seventy-fVe panic-stricken WOm-
ell fell in mass OF struggling human
ity,and the cries OF thousands of women
already assembled contributed to the
intense excitement that followed. Cries
of pain and extreme terror arose, and
from the collapsed section of the build
ing came the most exaggerated reports
of many persons killed Or fatally in
jured. After q score of persons had
rushed to the rescue, and the nearly
four score of women had been eXtri
Gated, it was found that about eight
persons had been more or less injured,
but none of them fatally, and probably
none seriously. The most seriously in
jured are:
Mrs. Ada Jack, of this city, left leg
dislocated; Mrs. A. G. Briggs, Argule
Park, Ill.,, ankle sprained; Mrs. c.
Greeley, Michigan avenue, side and
thigh injured; Miss Minerva Greeley,
Michigan avenue, bruiS ID; Mrs. Emile
Patterson, No. 577 Forty-third street,
bruised; Mrs. George II. bennett.
ankle sprained; Mrs. w. Townsend,
Grand Rapids, Mich, back hurt; Mrs.
A. c. Northrup. Auburn Park, ILL.,,
ankle hurt; Mrs. l, B. Laing, of 1919
Vincennes avenue, left leg bruised. Of
the injured Mrs. Jack suffered the
greatest pain. She, with one or two
others, was sent home in carriage.
Luckily the women composing the
crowd were strong and young or middle
aged, and were soon able to take care of
themselves. Most of the persons who
passed through the accident scattered
through the building, unwilling to
alarm friends at home by appearing in
the list of injured.

MADE A FAST RUN.
Cruiser New York Takes an Unoffi-
ciaI Trial Trip Over the Reg
ular Course.
Che Developed a Speed of 20. 5
Knots an Hour Under Un-
favorable Conditions.

Boston, May 20.-The cruiser New
York made an unofficial run today over
the course between Cape Ann and Cape
PorpoiSe. The wind was light from the
northeast and the sea smooth. Though
the Cramps were reticent as to
the exact figures, it was evident that
the representatives of the great
shipbuilding firm were thoroughly
satisfied with the performance Of their
latest creation. AS there are many
errors yet to be eliminated from today's
calculation, such as strength and direc-
ton of the current, and a slight devia-
ton from the straight line, as the mark
vessels were not in position, it is safe to
say that the New York attained a speed
of 20.5 knots or more, and developed at
least 16,J00 horse power. Again, none of
the hand-picked coal was used. and as
there is much energy stored within its
Shapely Jumps, IL is but fair to presume
that Mondays trial will doubtless show
the New York to be a 2075kno ship.
if not more.
A little after daylight this morning.
fires were started under ali of the six
steel boilers, and soon volumes of black
smoke issued from the three tunnels.
at S:45 the steam wndlass began to re-
volve, and by o'clock the great cruiser
was speeding away in the direction of
Cape Ann. A slight mist hung over
the water, but the sun soon bore this
away, and when the sunlight bore

could have desired. The New York
Woved away at a 17-knOt gait. which she
gradually increased as her great blow
ers were turned on, and the twin screws
began to revolve 130 turns per minute.
1t was just 1857 when the white buoy
which marks the start was abeam. and
Capt. Cooper, standing on the forward
bridge, dropped his hand to show that
the race had begun. Away went the
cruiser, her great engines trembling far
below, and the indicator showing 134
revolutions, a marvellous speed when
12919 is what the government intended
that her engines should make. Three
patent logs, one on each quarter and
one astern, were put overheard, and
when the first hour had passed, 21.3
knots was the average they showed. Of
course, a patent log Is not the most ac-
curate means of testing vessels speed.
as there are many errors connected with
1t, yet many OF the experts on board be-
lieYe that 2O.75 was what the New York
actually made during the first hour.
The entire distance run was 41.65
knots, and the course north 1885 east.
The finish line was crossed in exactly
two hours and four minutes from the
start. Had the course steered been a
perfectly straight one, and the speed
corrected by current observations, the
rate would have been 20.13 knots. AS
there is no doubt that several miles more
than this distance was covered, con-
servative estimate for the run would be
20.50 knots per hour. On the official
trial next Monday many doubtful factors
are to be removed, so that the result viii
be satisfactory one. The New York

The scenes witnessed during those
awful two hours of wind and flame are
beyond the power of pen to adequately
portray. The excitement was at fever
heat, and in many instances houses
caught on fire and were destroyed be-
fore the occupants were hardly aware
they were in danger, and dozens of fam
lilies saved practically nothing. The fire

waves OF an ocean would have been
necessary to check the furnace of flame.

Casting Sleighbells.

A question frequently asked is in re-
gard to the method of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening in the bells. Previous to
making a cast the maker OF sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside sand core, just
the shape of the inside of the bell. This
sand core, with the jinglet inside, is
placed in the mold Of the outside and
the melted metal poured in, which fills
up the space between the cores and mold.
The hot metal burns the core SO that it
can be shaken out, leaving the ball with
in the shell. Ball valves, swivel joints
and many other articles are cast in the
same manner.-Detroit Free Press.
