Amusement Notes.

During the engagement of the Tuxedo"
company at English's the last three nights
his latest character song, entitled, Rec
iprocity.' which is said TO be funny. Some
years ago Dougherty made himself famous
by singing ''Tidings of Comfort and JOY"
He was then with one of the big minstrel
companies, and was one of the highest
priced performers in the business. He is
a progressive actor and has kept well to
the front. and is still a comedian of good
ability.
The Whitney Opera Company, with the
famous soprano, Marie Tempest, at its
head, opened a weeks engagement at the
and a private message received last even
ing was to the effect that the company
had scored a great success in THE Fenc-
ing Master" The same opera will be given
at the Grand here next Tuesday and
Wednesday evening. with the full strength
of the company and the original stage
settings.

Park-Murray and Mack.

An audience that filled all parts Of the
house saw the opening performance in this
city of "Finnegan's Ball. as presented by
the Murray and Mack company at the
Park yesterday afternoon, and the theater
was crowded last night. AS it's name in
dicates the piece is an Irish farce and 1t
goes without saying that it has no par
ticular plot and is devoid of dramatic merit.
1t is chock full of what might be called
airy nothingness,' however, and the con-
tinous and hearty applause evidenced the
fact that the performance pleased the audi
ence very much. The play is made up of
music, novel specialtieS and some very
comical situations and incidents. 1t is n
good singing company, both individually
and collectively, and there is a dash about
the show that is quite refreshing i'm these
days of cheek shows and companies. The
two principals are decidedly funny, espe-
cially Mack, who is an Indianapolis boy.
being Ollie Trumbull off the stage. The
various parts are all creditably taken.
George Emerich, as the widow Gallagher,
was particularly funny, while Miss Oracle
Cummings, a childish-looking little lady, is
one of the best soubrettes seen at the Park
in a long time. The music for the most
part is new and catchy, and the perform
ance as a whole is one that will not fail

Maurice barrymore AMI Miss Floyd.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Theetrical circles
were taken by surprise by the announce
ment of the marriage of Maurice Barry
more. who is now supporting Miss Kathe-
rine ClemmonS in "a Lady in Venice at
the F~ffth-avenue Theater. The marriage
was reported to have taken place two
months ago. The bride was said to be Miss
Mamie Floyd, a young woman whom Mr..
Barrymore had known for years and who
is not a member of the profession that Mr..
Barrymore adorns. Her mother was re-
ported TO be rich, while Miss Floyd was
described as bright and attractive, but not
beautiful.
Mr.. Barrymore was seen at the Lambs
Club, to-day, regarding the above report,
and he emphatically denied the story.
There is not a word of truth in it," he
claimed. II cannot imagine how such a
story got out 1 am not married to Miss
Floyd"

PIERSON IN PERIL.
Belgium's Commissioner
Will Be Arrested.
United States Attorney Garter Will
Prosecute Him for Violating
Customs Laws.

Gustav Pierson, Belgian Commissioner
to the Midwinter Fair. will be arrested
and tried in the United States District
Court for violating an act of Congress,
passed for the benefit of exhibitors. The
law which he is charged with breaking
provided for the admission Of goods for
exhibition in bond. The duties were to be
paid unless the goods so admitted were
sold or were permitted to remain in the
country after the close of the fair.
Several cases Of silks and laces were
sent from Chicago, where they had been
received from Belgium, to the Midwinter
Fair. and were placed in the section over
which Piersun had charge. 1t is alleged
that he took the contents Of the cases to
his house on McAllister street and put
other and less valuable goods into the
boxes.
Pierson was appointed by Herr Cornely
and was not the first upon whom the
honor of bearing the title of Belgian
Commissioner had been conferred.
although the Belgian Government never
named or authorized any one else to name
a representative for ii. One Of Persons
predecessors was II. A. de Breyney, who
was removed by Cornely because he had
given offense to that worthy individual.
De BrayDey did not want to be removed,
and when the ak fell upon him be set
about to plant thorns IN the path
of Pierson. He learned in some way
that the satns anu laces had been
taken from the boxes at the exhibit
to Persons house and he quickly made
known his discovery to the custom in
spectors detailed for duty at the fair.
They went to Persons house and found
silks aud satins that correspondent in num-
Der and quality with those that had been
In the boxes. Collector Wise heard the
charges aud after an investigation that
lasted several days called in the United
States Attorney, who continued the work.
Mr.. Garter decided yesterday that in order
to determine whether the law had been
violated or not it would be- necessary to
arrest Pierson and have the case tried in
the United States court and that will be
done.

The fact is he frequently formed q unofh-

How PauYs destiny shaped itself so that

KUTZ. WAS SLANDERED.
A Jury Says MUIR Must Pay Hin
$1,000.

A jury in Judge Stacks court has de-
cided that Gabriel Kuiz is entitled to re-
ceive $1,000 from Lewis MUIR as damages
for SANDER.
The trouble arose from the old partner
ship of Kntz and MUIR in the shoe-manu-
featuring business. MUIR went to Europe
On vacation, and left kutz in charge Of
the business. When he returned he found
that the once profitable business had
dwindled into losing concern. The Jory
brothers had had som ething to do with the
MANAGEMENT OF the business during MUIR S
absence, and when the latter spoke to
them. they, according to the evidence In
troduced, blamed MUIR for misappropria t.
ing the funds. On the other hand, MUIR
laid the blame of the change in business
upon the Jory brothers.
Ae SANDER suit arose from certain re-
marks made by MUIR relative to the way in
which he had been dealt with by kutZ
Kutz promptly brought suit to recover
100000 damages for SANDER, and Bit
terly fought contest was the result. The
hearing of the case occupied several days,
and it was even found necessary to hold a
night session on Friday last in order to
finish the case within the week
