He Vas peculiarly noted throughout the

time must b o'clock. not one minuts
sooner or later. Hoffman had survived
three operations. but his condition nsces-
STATED fourth, which had bsen under
discussion some months. His great
trouble was hernia. with another compii-

the founder of Garrett Biblical institute

ing, is also deserving of mention in this
connection, as is his wife, who joined

higher education OF the masses.
The magnificent Art Institute, re-
Gently erected, should not be overlooked
in the catalogue of Chicago's education
al institutions. This, one Of the finest
on the continent, was not the gift of one
man, but of many, and illustrates the
prevailing disposition Of the people of
the Western metropolis to provide every
means for the culture and elevation of
her own people and for the entertain
ment of visitors from abroad.
Chicago has reason to boast of the
generosity of her rich men. Ii the
wealth Of the nation could pass into the
hands OF men such as those who have
been mentioned. there would be less
reason for the existence of socialism,
anarchy and other disturbing elements
of the population.

IN THE THEATERs.

Fritz in Prosperity" at the Metro
pelitan last evening, demonstrated be.
yend question that young J. K. En-
met is Il true scion of the world-famed
j. b. Emmett, who died three years ago.
III fact. one present who has been
charmed by the fsther in years past, in
his amusing and touching presentations
of Fritz" and who did not know that
ne was dead, would believe that he was
listening to the original j. K. Emmett.
3Ihe young man has grasped to a per-
fiction his fathers marvellous faculty
OF presenting nature in its simplicity,
accompanied by nnstrained humor aud
TpathOS.
d Fritz in Prosperity" is a most in
Jgenl0uS production, for it maintains
Fritz in all his simplicity as an I'M
sophisticated fresh arrival from Ger
many, while adding little experience
in Yankee ways. The scene is laid in
South Dakota, an admirable locality for
the development of the idea.
Mr.. Emmett is supported by one OF the
best companies ever appearing in st.
Paul. b. K. Graham, as Guy Furness,
member OF congress, would be the star
in the performance were it not for Mr..
Emmeps phenomenal power. Mr.. Gra-
ham has the heavy part, and his truth
TO Dature makes one forget at times
that he is not acting reality itself. He
never overdoes any part; every
feature and characteristic of what
he does is wonderfully realistic.
J. W. Hague, as Samuel van Horne, an
Eastern fnancier, performs his part
with striking realistic effects. as does
also Charles Stedman, as Bill Folger,
the villain in the play. Every member
of the company is true to his part in a
striking degree. But Baby Spencer
Sinnot. as Schneider, little tot of
probably six years, deserve special
praise. The infant, in her marvellous
simplicity and naturalness. last even
ing won the hearts of the audience. and
was called out three times. 1t is diff
cult to understand how a child so
young can grasp the features of stage
effects as this one does.
Fritz in Prosperity" deserves
crowded houses to the end of the en-
gagement.

Katie Emmett in "KiIlarney. "


Katie Emmett has been seen here be-
fore in Killarney" but never to so
good an advantage as last night. Since
last season the play has had elimlna-
tons and additions made to it that have
materially strengthened the plot and
story. and the element of comedy has
been given more consideration. But
by far the greatest Improvement seems
to be in the cast, which seems bet
ter chosen and fitted for the work.
|, Killarney" is essentially au Irish
drama; but to its credit it can be said
to be out of the beaten rut of plays of
that character. And its story, while
enlivened and frightened by pungent
Irish wit, does not grow tiresOme from
too much of this particular kind of sea-
soning. The story deals with the at
tempt of Martin Kavanaugh and
his scheming daughter to defraud
