PROFESSOR SHAWS NEW OPERA.
"Vuur-Brii. or the Evil Eye" soon tn he
Presented in Washington.

The dramatic critic of the Washington
Times. IL. c. Il. had the following to say
in Sundays paper about the new opera.
the music of which was written by Pro-
fessor j. Emory Shaw, OF this city:
4 pleasant surprise 10 many and the
realization of bright anticpatory fore
knowledge to few Will be the production
next week by the Strakosch Opera Com
pdny OF a comic opera 10y Philander john
son ana J. Emory Shaw. Mr. johnson Is
of the editorial staff Of the Evening star,
and Is we'll known here and TO the read
crs of the wceklies as a writer of clever
society verse and bright songs. as well
as the satirical paragrapher most quoted
i'm the country. He has written also two
or three well-received operattas before
now The present work is. however, his
most ambitious thus far. Mr. Shaw Is
much appreciated as Washington mu-
stefan, though he has for some time been
living In Richmond.
The Strakosch company has the opera
under active rehearsal and the prospect
is for a smooth and even production The
name of the new aspuant is "Nuur Bril-.
or the EVIL Eye" Washington has fire.
Qucntly been the scene of dramatic first
productions but II is the first occasion in
a long time in which professional produc-
ton OF comic opera has been made here
After considering both libretto and music
carefully Manager Strakosch had no hest
tation in giving 1t place for a week $
production among the standard works
which form the repertoire for the summer
season. The idea is an odd one. combin-
ing the picturesque with dash OF the
grotesque and just a sprinkle of satire.
4 description of the Island OF Marker
in the Zuyder Zee, Holland. first sug
eested the story. The wel-to-do. but
simple people OF the circumscribed dixie
protected island preserve to-day the Gus
toms and traditions of centuries ago. The
libretto has Ii that two little ones OF that
place, a boy and girl. were betrothed

America and grows up as one of the
members of New York society. His Dutch
name. Derrick De Hoogh which out
Knickerbockers the knickerbockers them
selves, and the wealth which his father
accumulated. give him ease and social
position. but he Is sent back to Holland
to keep the troth plighted for him. But
the simple people Of Marker know of no
such creature as he appears.
His clothes are not canny. and the le-
gend of Vuur-Bril Of the evil eye Is a,
once suggested by his monocle. There IS
no hesitation in concluding that he is
the veritable demon. and from this colu,
phcation springs the comedy. Frightened
by various contingent elements in the ie-
gend and bits Of collateral incident. The
cast will be displayed TO decided advant-
age. as the work is evenly balanced both
In distribution Of the music and Of the
actors.
The music. IN the opinion OF Manager
Strakosch. ranks with the best OF Am FRI
can composition in this field in technical
finish as well as In melody.

BOLD BANDIT FOILED.
In the Phalen Woods He Shoots
the Driver OF q Team

In the Phalen Woods He Shoots
the Driver OF a Team.
= At 6:1 0 last evening lone bandit in
the woods at the far end of Lake PhaIen
made desperate effort to waylay and
rob Henry Vogt, driver of one Of Robert
Seeger's oil wagons. The driver was re-
turning home from his days sale of oils
in North st. Paul. and. as he arrived at
dark spot in the woods, the bandit
sprang out from some bushes nearly in
front of the horses, and waving big
revolver commanded the driver to halt.
Instead of hating, Voet instantly
applied the whip to his horses, and the
spirited team made lightning dash
toward town. The bandit instantly cut
loose with his revolver. Que bullet hit
Vogt in the back, passing through the
f1eshy part of the loin and infiicting q
wound that will not prove serious
VOgt ran his team until he was far
out OF range of the flying bullets and
out of danger of being Overtaken by the
bandit and then he slowed up to reflect
upon his narrow escape from death. He
reached town and reported the affair at
the Margaret street police station; then
he went home. His wound was dressed
by physician and he will be laid up
for some weeks.
Chief Detective O'Conuor drove to
the scene of the attempted robbery in
company with some mounted officers.
The robber, of course, had hied him.
self to safer quarters; but some clues
may yet be obtained that will lead to
his capture.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Fanny Davenport seems to be wise in
retaining "GiSmonda," the first title
selected for Sardou's new play, instead
Of using the name, The Duchess of
Athens" insisted upon by Sarah Bern
hardt. As Bernhard will do the play
here in French. it will be presented to
the public under both titles. "Gis-
monda'' is the more attractive name
and it is that of the central character
Moreover. il belongs to the lucky final
a" series. which includes Dora"
Fedora" Theodore" and La Tosca."
Miss Davenport will produce "Gis-
monda" very deliberately at the Fifth
Avenue, in December.
Although Nat Goodwin is going 10 re-
vive David Garrick" this season and
will be seen for the first time in that
character, 1t is a mistake to suppose
that he will appear in that play only.
Mr.. Goodwin has a remarkably good
repertoire, and he would be foolish 10
confne himself to one piece. Augustus
Thomas "ln MizZoura" and Ii. G..
Carleton's "Gilded Fool' will both be
played this season.
The new City opera house at Port
Huron, Mich, was opened Sept. l by

HE ENJOYS A LUNCH WITH
KELLY AND DORIAN
And Takes q Drive About St.
Paul-He Is Delighted With
Minnesota.

The cold weather at Minnetonka. and
incidentally, the closing of the hotels,
induced Mayor Hopkins,of Chicago, and
his travelling companions, Frank j.
Gaulter, clerk of the circuit court of
Cook county, and R. c. Sullivan, clerk
of the probate court in Chicago. to
run into St.Paul yesterday morning. He
was met at the depot by P. II. Kelly
and Michael Doran and taken to the
Commercial club, where every hospital
ity was shown him. After very tempt
ing luncheon at the Commercial club
his honor threw himself back in an easy
chair, and from behind cloud of fra
grant smoke spoke thusly:
Your beautiful lake has held me by
its shores for week, and could have
found any place to sleep would have
stayed there few weeks longer. But
now that am here shall try and make
myself au fait with some of the numer-
Gus improvements and beauties of
your city that may suggest
improvements in Chicago. We are
progressive people down there, and
generally consider that we lead. But
we are equally willing to follow and
take hold of good thing when we see
it. Oh, no, politics has nothing
whatever to do with our pres
ence here; in fact, know
absolutely nothing about them. In fact.

novels and playing SOLITAIRE" They
are not permitted to see the newspapers
and their reading is confined to novels
of the lighter kind.
A GLOBE reporter sought an inter
view with the men yesterday. WONG
keit was smoking cigarette, and stood
with the side of his face to the cell door
when seen. He said he had nothing 10
say to the reporter. Asked several ques-
tons. he replied that no one had been
to see him for some days. Rev. Niclaus
Bolt had called several times before the
shooting of Deputy Horst by Ermisch,
| but he had not called since that event.
He had sent for Rev. Bolt after being
informed as to the date of his fate, but
up to last evening he had not come to
| see him.
Asked if he was sorry for what he
had done. Wonigkeit said:
Yes. am sorry"
The question being repeated as to
whether he had any statement to make,
he replied in the negative, and seemed
penitent.
Ermisch had a different demeauOr.
He was
, Lying on His Bunk
reading a novel when the reporter en-
tered. and remained in that attitude
during the talk with Wonigkeit. When
asked by Bailitf Courteau if he wanted
to make statement to a reporter. he
grunted in the negative. Being asked
by the reporter if he would not make a
statement, he got mp from his bunk, and
looking fiercely through the bars, de-
manded in surly way what paper the
reporter represented. He then said he
had nothing to say to anybody. He
held novel in his hand, and seemed to
Indicate that he did not want to be
bothered. Asked if he wanted to see
any friends, he replied surlily in the
negative.
Waterman Courteau said that Ermisch
has been indifferent on the subject ever
since he learned of the date of his
hanging. Wonigkeit, on the other
hand, had showed some contrition,
although he says that he will meet his
fate bravely.
Sheriff Chapel is allowed $500 to pay
the expenses of the death watch and
erect the gibbet. This much is to be
paid by the state. The expense of
boarding them is paid by the county in
addition to the other expense. The
gallows will not be erected until few
days before the date fixed tor the hang
ing. Sheriff Chapel has not selected his
assistants.
The mother of Ermish has been mott.
fed of the fixing of the day for hanging
her son. She twas visibly affected by
the news. She has not yet been per-
mitted to see him.
The mother of Wonigkeit called day
or two ago at the jail. and asked permits
sion to see her son, but admittance was
denied. The men are still given per-
mission to exercise in the inclosed COR
ridor daily.
