THE BRILLIANT DAZZLER.


Don't think because you have seen it
once or twice before, that you can afford to
skip the Dazzler at the Opera house next
Tuesday evening, when it will be presented
by Cosgrove & Grants comedians. This is
q new Dazzler in fact as we'll as in name.
The play has been entirely rewritten, not
merely frightened up by the addition of a
new joke or two clipped from some comic
paper, but really rewritten with bright
story tersely and humorously told and with
a neat plot and some very clever stu
atoms. This company contains many
new faces, but glance at the list Of names,
which includes Florrie West, Charlie
wayne, Luella Wagner, Mason and Rol-
ston. the Dewitt sisters, and Billie West,
shows that the COMPANY is made up of
some 81 the very brightest people that are
found in farce comedy. Elaborate and
novel scenery will be new feature with
this company, and the wardrobe and music
are entirely new from start to finish. In
fact, it might well pass as new produc-
ton, so complete is the change from the
ID. zzler of old.

Water street when she heard what she
supposed to be q warbler on the

canary, but found him not. After
stretching that part of her body. which
supports the head. into As many ways as q
circus cuntortionist could, she espied bird
cage (which was empty and remarked,
"pre,ty bird sing some more" The small
bow with bis bird call winked the other eye
and kept on warbling. One of our Oldest

fortune to make a similar mistake. He

store, had fallen out on the awning and he

wasting several minutes, the songster con.

doorway leading to Meonian hall and there
discovered small boy with his bird whistle
which solved the mystery.

A despatch from ST. Louis to-day tell
ing Of the arrest OF Charles W. Web
ster, OF this city, on n charge OF en-
bezzlcment, clears up the mystery Of

months ago.

two years as a bookkeeper by Acker.
Neral & Condit in their establishment
at College place and Chambers streets.
About June he left the Office, as usual

An examination OF his books showed
that his accounts were so tangled that
the firm felt Justified IN calling the
matter to the attention of the police.
Webster was traced to st. Louis.
where he was arrested yesterday. He
agreed To return TO New York without
requisitiun papers.
Mfr. Frank Merrall said to-day that he
could give 10 information concerning

HE'S A HIGH.CASTE BRAHM!N.
Furushotam Rao Telang Visits the
Pulitzer Building.

Purushotam Rao Telang, a high-caste
Brahmin, who is in this city on his
way from Chicago to Atlantic City,
visited the Pulitzer Building at noon
to-day.
He reviewed everything with the
shrewd avidity of one who intends
making book of all he sees. After
wards he said:
THE sight from the dome is some
thing truly impressive. but infinitely
more more WONDERFUL is the activity displayed

In religious matters. Mr.. Telang finds
America greatly wanting.

religious feeling displayed here. that I
am forced to the belief that you have
exported SO much religion that very

Mr.. Telang is very clever In mark
ing designs on cardboard. During the
interview this afternoon, he drew with
his thumbnail a beautiful picture OF a
violet. He Is also q good and carefully
trained singer. He showed cuts of the
vina and the sistar, stringed instru-
ments. OF which the former Is said to
be the oldest musical instrument In the
world. Performers on these instruments
he says are regarded very mediocre II
they cannot at each touch OF a chord
produce the whole chromaIic scale.
