liar position would be content to let
we'll enough alone, but MIR. Emmett is
made of sterner stuff.
With this high aim in view, Mr.. En-
met has had new play written for
him called Fritz in Prosperity" by
Sydney Rosenfeld, the author of "The
Senator" and other popular and success
full American plays. While retaining
all the sweetness of character and low
able disposition of the hraye-hearted,
singing German, the action of the play
places him before us in more serious
aspect, and in an atmosphere of more
dramatic effectiveness. The action Of
the new play occurs in South Dakota at
the present time, amid the brave and
sturdy people who are building up that
vast section of the far West.
The picturesque locality of the play
affords opportunities for unlimited
scenic effects and splendid stage pict-
ures. There are two scenes in the play
which have already attracted more than
ordinary attention on account of their
beauty, novelty and ingeniousness; one
being the representation of cyclone
and the other is flood scene.
Mr.. Emmett will play all engagement
of four nights at the Metropolitan opera
house, beginning tonight.

MODJESkA NEXT,
She Will Appear Nightly at the
Metropolitan.

She Will Appear Nightly at the
Metropolitan.
The popularity of Modjeska has been
so long established that the announce
ment OF her appearance at the Metro
politan opera house next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday has created no
little stir among amusement-goers, for
her coming is certainly the theatrical
event of the year. One of the novelties
of her forthcoming engagement IS her
appearing in role that is new for her
in this city. She has presented most of
ShakeSpeare'S heroines, and it only re-
mains for her now to oppear as Portia,
in her revival of The Merchant of Ven
ice,'' to about complete the round Of
them. The special distinction of
Portia among Shakespeare's women
is the combination in her nat
ure of intellectual proves, and
at the same time susceptibility to
romantic feelings. Being an heiress to
princely estate, she has never known
aught but prosperity and happiness,
which have left her generous and quick
in sympathy. In the casket scene
Mod1eska presents an exquisite bit of
by-play, where she hangs In almost
breathleSs suspense upon Bassanio's
selection of the cashet, and then, with
all the impetuouS ardor of her nature,
rushes into his arms after he has chosen
the leaden one and read the scroll that
gives him the right to ''claim her with a
loving kiss" Her nature, like every
type of true womanhood. wishes to be
even more worthy than she is of Bas-
SANTOS love, for she says: Il would be
trebled twenty times myself. thousand
times more fair, ten thousand times
more rich.'

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Katie Emmett in the Charming
Drama "Killarney,"

Nearly three-quarters of century.
have elapsed since the famous Tyrone
Power first made his appearance at the
Adelphi theater, London. in his famous
impersonation of Rory O'More." The
character was novel one. and at once
took hold on the public to degree that
1t has not yet lost particle OF its popu-
larity. There was brightness, dash
and magnetism about the stage Irish
man that no other national character
possessed, while the peculiar character
istics of the type allowed scope of dra-
matte powers that covered the whole art.
Since that time there has been no field
o. dramatic literature so profitable to
the playwright as that of the Irish
drama, and as natural consequence
1t has been overrun with scribblers,
and the public has been dosed with
plays of the most inferior quality, pos
sessing neither originality nor literary
merit. Lately, however, the better
class of authors have departed signally
from the old traditions of the school
and a change for the better has been
noted. 1t is to this fact that the success
OF Katie Emmett's Killarney" may be
attributed. While it is strictly an Irish
play dealing with Irish people as they
are found in Ireland today. it possesses
a refinement that has been totally lack
ing in plays of its class and which
places it on an equal footing with May
Blossom and other dramatic works
of high order. 1t is a
charming love story set in a frame
of delightfully."- picturesque Irish
scenes. 1t is full of dramatic
interest and its numerous strong CHI
makes are both well and naturally
worked up. so that its presentation is
harmonious and perfect in every way.
Killarney" has been we'll received
throughout the country, and it bids fair
to be the leading play of all the Irish
dramas that have ever achieved popu-
larity from the day when the late Bouci-
cault was the recognized author of plays
of this kind down to the present. Since
its presentation here last season, xii
larney' has been altered somewhat, to
admit of the Introduction of consider
able comedy and allow Andrew Mack,
who Is being featured this season, to in
troduce number of songs and duet
with Miss Emmett.

peal for mercy. Her version is rather
that of the poet than theshistorlan,
which makes her Characterization all
the more delightful. No little interest
surrounds the coming of Otis Skinner,
who is said to have accomplished a gen.
uine triumph as Shylock. 1t is in the
trial scene where the greatest acting is
done by the ayaricious Jew, and where,
when he limps from the court room
broken-hearted and crushed in defeat,
he ELECTS the pity of the audience if not
the sympathy. 1t is here, too, that Shy

Terrible Calamity In n Yorkshire
Colliery-Over 100 Men Killed.
LONDON, July 5.-At Thornhill, York
shire, an explosion occurred Tuesday.
One hundred and fifty miners are en-
tombed and the loss of life, it is feared,
will be heavy. Four bodies have been
already brought out. The pit is blocked
with fallen rock, dirt and timbers and
the progress of the rescuing parties is,
therefore slow. 1t is feared that the
men who escaped death in the explosion
of fire damp will be suffocated by the
choke damp unless speedily rescued.
The scenes usual at the pit mouth in
case of mining accidents are being re-
peated at Thornhill, and consi' rable
difficulty is experienced in keeping
those who have relatives and friends in
in the mines from interfering with the
work of the rescuers.
Further Details,
The day shift went down to work as
usual early in the morning. The ven
tilation was reported to be good All
went well until noon when the workers
at the pit mouth was startled by muf
fled explosion and by clouds of denst
smoke rolling up the main shaft. They
tried to communicate with the work
men, but found that the interior had
been cut off from the shaft Tho phi
managers organized an exploring party
and descended slowly through the
smoke. They were driven back re
peatedly and eventually gave up thei1
purpose of penetrating to the workings
until the foul gas should be cleared
away. After

shaft and they were able to ex&luin,
parts of the shaft. The bodies were
lying in heaps. Many We're brought t.
the surface Unremitting efforts art
being made to reach the few miners
who are still alive. About 40 are sup.
posed to have been killed. About IL OF

No Indication That the sherman
Law Will Be Promptly Repealed.
WASHINGTON. July g. The first move
when the extra session meets is said to
be joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury 70 suspend the
purchase of silver for 6srty-or sixty
days and then let the .snt come on the
main question of the sFpeal. 1t is said
: the silver men will agree to TINS -i1f SSsa.
der TO gain time for organization.
The intention to form giant silver
lobby, literally supplied with money,
TO come to Washington to defeat finan-
cial legislation is something which may
well be feared. Whn the Sherman
law was passed there vas a silver lobby
present that was dangerous, and even
went so far as to mix prominent men
in congress in its mesh, nocessitating
congressional investigation, which was
thought then to be whitewashing af-
fair. A silver lobby
With Abundant Funds
and large profits in silver pool to offer
may make trouble. Every representa-
tive from district infected with free
silver fanaticisn will be threatened
that thousands o. dollars will be spent
to defeat his nomination and election,
while if his vote is cast with the silver
men, money Tor his return will be
promised. Many members of congress
will fear to vote their honest convic-
tions with this silver vulture watching
and ready to destroy them.
There are a great many rumors, prob
ably put in motion by the silver advo-
Gates here, that any financial legislation
in the coming session will be resisted in
the senate by the same methods which
defeated the election bill and kept back
the anti-option bill until it was sure of
defeat in the house for want of time.
