caves, was admirably rendered by f. w
Bacon. Mr.. Bacon is comparatively new
to the stage, but acted his part with a
thorough appreciation of its many oppor.
tunities and with the self-possession of a
veteran of the stage. Mr.. Holden was the
scheming brother Ariel. Mr.. Burress, a
new comedian, played the part of Stokes,
somewhat modelled on the Pickwick fat
boy, and did it with good taste and iudg-
ment. Mr.. Brinder was Everett Doolittle
legal luminary, and the rest of a long
male role was in very good hands.
The leading female part was that as
signed to Maud Edna Hall, who made a
very charming part out of it. Miss Hall is
making quite name for herself at this
theater. Helen Henry was atender and
sympathetic Betty Howe, and the Misses
Blanc, Stevens and Forbes completed an
excellent cast.
The stage effects were remarkably well
done, the second act set particularly being
one of the prettiest ever seen in this city.
The general success of the play was in
tensifed by clever speech made by Mr..
Brusie at the end of the second act, which
was capped by short address by Governor
Budd, who was forced to respond to en-
thusiastic applause.
With such a first night and with the in
trinsic merit of 1.-The Estate of Hannibal
Howe it should have a good run and
meet with great success.

HlBERNIANS CELEBRATE
The MEMBERS OF DIVISION No.
I ENJOY A sLITERARY
ENTERTAINMENT.
GIVEN IN HONOR OF ST. PATRICK's
DAY-A BANQUET FOLLOWED
BY DANCING.

The members of Division No of the An
Gent Order of Hibernians and members of
other divisions, together with their fami-
lies and friends, had an enjoyable time in
their hall at 1857 Mission street last night,
at an entertainment given in honor of St.
Patrick's day.
The hall, decorated with the American
ana the Irish flags, was crowded to its full
capacity. Patrick Lyons, president of the
DIVISION, gave brief history of that body
since its organization in 1878, and showed
that 1t had disbursed $125, 900 to its mem
bers and to charities.
Thomas B. O'Brien, the well known
speaker. was called upon to act as chair
man OF the meeting, and he delivered a
stirring address. He gave a succinct his
tory OF the Order of Ancient Hibernians,
showed the good it had accomplished, and
urged the necessity of continued organiza-
ton. he then spoke in patriotic strain
OF Ireland and her sons and daughters, and
touched upon the subject of religion, quot
ing from speech delivered the evening
previous by Senator Perkins, who had de-
clared that ANY man who interferes with
the rights of conscience is an assassin of
human liberty" He declared that when
men of the Senator's stamp expressed
| themselves in that manner there need be
no fear of trouble on the ground of religion
III 1l!o country. HIS ADDRESS was ire
| quently and loudly applauded.
Judge j. A. Campbell spoke of the valor
OF the Irishmen who fought for the Union
| during the war of the rebellion, and Joseph
F. Coffey delivered a stirring address on
sons of Irishmen and descendants of Irish
men, and declared that no man need feel
ashamed that he was the one or the other.
He then paid a handsome compliment to
| the native sons and daughters.
P: F. O'Donoghue of st. Mary's Church
choir sang several Irish ballads; Patrick
Flynn gave popular Irish airs on the irish
bagpipes, and Master John J. Lane recited
patriotic poem with fine effect.
The literary entertainment was followed
by banquet and a ball.
The committee of arrangements was
composed of: P. Lyons, James..McCurry
]. Mcmahon, M. Kelly, John J. O'Kane
and j. J. Lane. 7. B. O'Brien acted
as chairman of the reception committee,
and j. j. Heating was the floor manager.

would think that the legislative halls had
been moved from Sacramento. Inter
spersed with these dignitaries were judges,
lawyers, editors, even lobbyists-an au-
dience the like of which the Grand Opera
house never held before.
For first attempt, the play was deserv-
ing of the great applause that it received.
Mr.. Brusie has never been suspected of
more literary guile than framing bill
so when it was announced that his latest
plot was dramatic, people thought hard
and then went in body to see the play.
In general structure the play is of the
"Jed Prouty" and "Old Homestead" style.
The story is a simple one, well told and
dramatically constructed. The story of
the little heir to all the Howe wealth, with
its plots and counterplots, is one that APP
peals to an audience, and when the story
is told as well as was done last night the
success of Mr.. BRUSHES venture should be
assured.

sturdy old Amos Howe, as unyielding as

gentle as the doves that cooed among his

MERCY SHOWN A BURGLAR.
He ENTERS THE SUTHERLAND
HOUSE WHILE THE GUESTS
ARE AT DINNER.
HIS FIOoUENCE AND TEARS Sue
CESSFUL IN KEEPING HIM
FROM ARREST.

The guests at the Sutherland House, a
fashionable clearinghouse on the south
east corner of Suffer and Jones streets, had
an exciting experience about o'clock last
night.
They were at dinner when the door bell
was rung violently, and minute later
they were startled oy the information that
burglar was in the house. The visitor
had seen him crawling through one of the
side windows.
There was general rush from the din
ing-room, the ladies vieing with the sterner
sex in their anxiety to capture the daring
burglar.
Meantime messengers had been sent to
ind the policemen on the beats in the
neighborhood and a telephone message
was sent to the Central police station for
posse of men.
A careful search was made of the rooms
on the first floor, but without success.
When the exploring party commenced to
search the bedrooms upstairs there was
feeling that the end was near, and excite
ment ran high.
Sure enough, crouehed underneath bed
IN one of the bedrooms the daring burglar
was found. He was deadly pale and
shaking with fear. When dragged from
his hiding place he begged piteously for
mercy. He was young man, about %
years of age, smooth faced and neatly
dressed in a dark suit of clothes, light
overcoat and white tie. He said he was
out Of work and starving, and had been
forced to commit crime to save himself
from dying of want.
He spoke eloquently, and as he saw that
his words were making favorable impress
sion upon the ladies his voice trembled
and his eyes filled with tears, which won
them over completely. They added their
entreaties to his and, as usual, were sue
cessful.
The culprit was searched and everything
was taken out of his pockets. He had sew
eral pieces of jewelry which be had taken
from the bedrooms he had visited, which
were returned to their owners All that
belonged to himself were few Salvation
Army meal tickets and two boxes of salve.
Just as the guests were ready to let him
go Policeman Herring arrived with the
patrol-wagon and Policemen George
Douglass and Duane, who had been run
down by the messengers reached the
corner
They found the front door locked and
when they rang the bell it was some
minutes before any one answered it. They
asked to be allowed to search the house for
the burglar and were considerably sur
prised and disguised to be told that there
was no need for their services as they had
allowed the poor fellow to go after
taking the jewelry he had stolen out of his
side entrance while the police were waiting
at the front door.
Policeman Herring was handed the
Salvation Army meal tickets and two
boxes of salve to take with him in the
patrol-wagon to the Central police station,
but the officers would not leave until they
had got description of the burglar.

AT THE CALIFORNIA.
Miss Emily Banoker Makes Hit With the
Comedy hOur Flat,n

There is great deal of merit in the comedy
"Our Flat which Miss Emily Bancker and her
company presented at the California Theater
last night 1t is amusing and entertaining
from beginning to end; it contains variety OF
funny situations which keep the audience in a
continued state of merriment; it is full OF
bright lines; it is terse, interesting and well
written. The basic motive of the plots deals
with the vicissitudes OF young couple who live
in fiat and are forced to encounter all man
ner OF inconvenience in order to dodge the
irrepressible installment man, who is always
on hand for his money.
Miss Bancker, who played the part OF
Margery Sylvester has all the qualifications
that go TO make successful coincidence She
is graceful, pretty and attractive and acts with
ease. and simplicity. Tom Ricketts, was par
ticularly good as Nathaniel Glover, and
Messrs. Scully, Parr and Warren, the employees
of the 'Royal Nottingham Company" were
very amusing Miss Bancker and Mr.
Ricketts, introduced in the third act a
burletta entitled 'Little Red Riding Hood. "
1t was travesty on the serious side of the
stage and it made big hit. The piece was
presented before an audience which filled the
house completely.
S. II. Friedlander retired as manager of the
California Theater yesterday and Louis A
Morgenstern was appointed in his place. In
conjunction with this position Mr.. Morgen-
stern will continue his duties as treasurer OF
the Baldwin. His appointment as manager
OF the California is looked upon with great
favor

work, though to say that it is strictly original
would be to claim too much for it.
When he wrote the first act de Koven was
evidently laboring under q sincere admir-
alton for Mascagni, with touch of longing for
Bizet, and all through the other acts he shows
composers music, though in many places he
has let the inspiration and the treatment in
fuence him as much as the actual themes.
Miss Dorothy Morton pleased her audience
of fifteenth-century pages dress, to the time
the curtain went down on the last act. Her
entrance song has a good swing to
it, and she sang it in dashing
style, which called forth encore after
encore. Her singing is good deal in the style
OF the variety artist, but it has all the vim OF
the variety artist. In the Nightingale and
the Rose" Miss Morton put in good deal OF
vocal embroidery which was not in the orig
inal score. AS for her acting, it was graceful
and natural.
David Terrence is blessed with good stage
presence and acts the role of the ASKING lover
naturally and easily. Apparently he has
good barytone voice, but he was suffering from
hoarseneSs.
William stephens as Guido was properly love
sick and sang his barearolle in the second act
with all the tourishes of the operate tenor
though the effort was little too much for his
information here and there. The comic duke
and his astrologer aroused roars of laughter by
their vaudeville performances.
Miss Bertha Bayliss looked well and sang
well as the fascinating Countess Fillipa. Her
acting was little lacking in animation, but in
the last act, when her only opportunity for
singing came in, she made the most OF 1t, and
was warmly encored.
AS for the character of the whole music it is
nondescript. The choruses are above the level
of operetta, and they were the part of the
voices being most efficient both for volume and
artistic qualities.

"Nanono at the Tivolf.

The production OF Genees ''Nanon'' at the
Tivoli lastnight.wasin all respects an admirable
performance. This masterpiece of Genee is too
well known here to need review at this day,
but the bright, pretty music and the extremely
good hbretto have seldom been heard to better
advantage in this city.
The Nanon Of the cast was the always pop-
ular Oracle Plaisted, who made her usual suc-
cess. She acts with SO much chic that she
readily aids in carrying to success any opera
in which she is cast and her Nanon last
night was very able piece of work.
The part of the famous Ninon de i,Enclos
was assigned to Miss Salinger, who made her
temperance last night and whose success was
attested by the manner in which she was re-
ceived.
Miss Liddiard was somewhat out OF touch
with the character OF Maintenon, which is not
the kind of work she had been accustomed to
doing. Madame de Frontenac was assigned ia

acted the part charmingly and daintily Alice

terest to do SO without robbing the farm
ers of the valley
Two meetings of the board of directors
OF the valley road were held yesterday, one
IN the morning and another in the after
noon. AT the former the matter of the
rails was taken up and Mr.. Whittier
action in the premises approved.
In the afternoon various questions were
considered. The presence of the Governor
IN the city and the result of his visit to the
ground desired by the company were dis
cussed. The matter of the route also
brought in some preliminary suggestions,
but no definite action was taken
One of the officials of the road said yes
terday that before surveying parties were
sent into the field it will be necessary for
committee from the board to visit the
various cities which are in position to
offer inducements to the road and ascertain
the exact nature of the same and whether
they were of character which would be of
value to the line.
The pooling plan is still in an embyotic
state and will probably not be in a condi-
ton to present to the board for several
days to come.
