California Theater.

The cycling craze has been used as the
basis OF the play in which jolly Nellie Nc
Henry appears tomorrow night al the Cal
ifornia Theater. 1t was Miss McHenry' S
own idea to have the current mania for
wheeling condensed into three-act musi-
cal farce. She engaged Louis Harrison to
make the play for her, and the result is
The Bicycle Girl" III which Miss Nc
Henry and dozen or more comedians,
dancers ana speciality people have been
meeting with success this season.
Of course the vivacious and Jolly Nellie
is the heroine, and during the progress of
the piece she is said to be given a wide lat
itude for provoking the particular kind of
innocent mischief Tor which she is noted.
She is an up-to-date maiden who rides the
wheel aud in addition keeps abreast with
all the progressive movements wherein the
happiness Of woman is concerned She
speculates in Wall street and between
times conceives the idea OF bicycle club
where all her set grace the membership
roll with their signatures.
Milton Royle will present his new play
entitled Mexico" at the California Thea

How Paderewski Was Asked to Appes
With Dancing Bear.

How Paderewski Was Asked to Appear
With Dancing Bear.
The extraordinary statements that have
from time to time been circulated respect
ing NJ. Paderewski would ill volumes, and
they afford the famous pianist endless
amusement, for he is the embodiment OF
good humor. In the course of conversa-
ton on the peculiar epistles he has re-
ceived during his career, M. Paderewski
observed:
Some time back, while I was travelling
in England, number of letters reached
me from the proprietor of circus. The
first ran something like this: MY dear
Paderewski, why don't you come? Why
don't you keep your engagement? You
are engaged to appear at my circus at
Warrington with a dancing bear. The
public are very disappointed because you
do not come AS this appeal elicted no
response, the energetic circus proprietor
forwarded me printed form of cont tract,
in which it was set out in writing that
'Paderewski is engaged to appear with
dancing bear for f10 week. No play, NO
pay"
1t appears that there is circus-per.
former in existence who styles himself
Paderewski. When M. Paderewski's sec.
retary inquired of this gentleman why he
had assumed the pianist's name, he re-
piled that he had the right to assume any
name he pleased. "It isn't worth making
a fuss about he added, confidentially. "I
shall be a good advertisement for NJ. Pad
erewski."
NJ. Paderewski tells an interesting story
of an experience which befell him during
a recent visit to Bristol. I will give it as
nearly as possible in his own words:
zone 0dV | recelyed a letter from Iod,,
who said she had an invalid friend who
was very anxious to hear me play. but
could not possibly attend public recital.
My friend she added, would come any-
where you like to name to hear you play
privately. AS we are not rich we cannot
afford a high fee, but we shall be happy to
pay you half guinea for your loss OF time. )
/ asked my secretary, Mr.. Gorlitz, to write
and invite the lady to come to the hotel
the next morning. She came, and PLAYED
five or six pieces to her. She was delighted
and thanked me heartily. At the close, to
my surprise, her companion offered me
ten and six pence, upon which l said, No
thank you, madam; it has been q great
pleasure to me to play to you"
Wonderful to relate, certain Paris Jour-
nails got hold of a perverted version of this
story, in which M. Paderewski's extreme
good nature was represented as rudeness.
and the editors OF these papers solemnly
advised the musician to avoid such be-
havior in future.
In talking over the matter M. Pader.
ewski remarked TO me with emphasis. II
assure you nothing was further from nv
mind than to ridicule those ladies. NV
only desire was to crafty the wish of the
invalid who was so anxious to hear me
play"
1t was an American lady, by the way,
who, after M. Paderewski had good hi1.
moredly complied with her request for his
autograph, pulled out bundle of five-dol-
lar bills and anxiously inquired, "How
much 2"
Such incidents as this amuse the famous
pianist but of a more troublesome nature
are the applications for pecuniary help

Viewed in any position from the land side
it looks like gigantic stone carving of a
mans head.
The exact location of the rock is about
500 feet from the Point Pinos lighthouse
in northerly direction. AT low tide it is
high out of water, and at high tide all the
profile shows but the lower part of the
chin.
There is no effort of the imagination
required to see a mans head 1t is as
plain as any statue that was ever carved
1t is so perfectly 'blocked in, as sculptors
say, that it is hard to believe it is not the
work of human hands. The character of
the head is that of strong, vigorous man.
The hair is pushed back from the fore
head and the mustache is in the style of
the early German soldiers. Fractures in
the rock in just the right places form the
eyes and nostrils, and a projection makes
a perfect ear. The head seems to be re-
clining backward and the eye is partly
closed, giving an easy and graceful ex-
preston to the face.
The head is composed of granite, al.
though the formation near by is some
sort OF metamorphic rock. 1t is light gray
in color and is so hard that it will most
likely stand the seas that sweep over it for
centuries to come.

Grand Opera-House.

"Pulse of New York." sensational
spectacular drama from the prolific brain
OF Howard Taylor, is to be the attraction
at the Grand for the coming week. The
drama tells story OF modern metropoli-
tan life and an interesting one enough
but the story seems to have been written
around the sensations. for it is apparently
of quite secondary importance.
Realism is the feature of Pulse of New
York" Effects are to be prouuced which
would be impossible on any other than a
very big stage, or one with elaborate mod
ern electrical equipments. There is to be

formerly accompanied Mr.. Warde, is
Charles D. Herman, whose ability has
been recognized here before. Charles
Sutton is the leSding juvenile man of the
support. Messrs Herman and Sutton
have each played leading roles with Mr..
Warde in former seasons. Miss Fanny
Gillette, Mrs. Isabel Waldron, Miss Lucia
Moore and Miss Craig Garrick are included
among the ladies in the company.

Considerable interest is being taken in
the approaching concert of the Loring
Club. which is announced for the evening
of Thursday, the 9th inst, at Odd Fell
lows Hall.
The high standard of the club promises
to be well sustained at this concert, several
very strong choral numbers being in
cluded in the programme. The soprano
soloist on this occasion will be Miss Ar
della Mills, this being her first appearance
on the Loring Club platform. The list of
artists also includes the name of B. Mol
lenhauer, violin solost, and the piano ac-
apartments are of course absolutely
safe in the hands of Mrs. CarmichaeI-Carr
The concert will be under the direction

Sousa brings as soloists Miss Myrta
French, soprano; Miss Currie Duke, violin
lst, and Arthur Pryor, from bonist. Sousa is
announced also to bring number of new
compositions. The band and its conduc-
tor are too we'll known to need an account
OF their successes.
There is coming under the management
OF Messrs. Friedlander, GottIob & Co. a
strong musical com bination including the
renowned violinist and the great Wagner
ian singer, Madam Materna. Herr On
dricek has thus far created the greatest
Juror of any violinist that has visited
America this season. He is the court
violinist to his Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of Austria, and has had conferred
upon him five orders by Queen Victoria,
the Queen of Romania, the Emperor of
Russia, the King of Italy and the King of

The new prima donna of the Carleton
Company, Miss Rena Atkinson, seems to
have met with success wherever she has
sung. She is a native of Portland, where
her father edited and published the lead
ing Catholic journal. Miss Atkinson
studied with Meilo Agramonte. She is
said to shine especially in such very di-
verse works as '.Mignon," LA Traviata"
and LA Gioconda.
The personnel OF the company apart
from Miss Rena Atkinson, includes Sarah
Carr, prima donna mezzo soprano; Clara
Wisdom, contraIto; Selma Rough, second
soprano; ]. c. Taylor, primo tenore George

H< HE Tavary Opera Company has
come and gone, and one feels in
clined TO dismiss it with the re-
II mark that the last state of that
troupe is worse than the first. A
year ago Charles Pratt was understood to
be an enterprising manager trying a re-
vival OF grand opera, and the public as
we'll as the critics gave him the glad hand,
because he deserved encouragement. and
because they thought that if he made
money he would do better this year.
Mr. Pratt cleared, it is said, over $25, 900
by his last seasons enterprise, but how
has he lived up TO this success? In the
first place, he took the handspring out of
his company when he parted with Signor
Morreale. Without wishing to disparage
the present conductor of the Tavary COM
pany, it is apparent in the first ten min
utes of an opera that he is not to be COM
pared to his predecessor. His orchestra is
too unwieldy for him to manage, and in
operas such as aida" and "Lohengrin"
the blare of the brass is positively excru-
ciating. The conductor has extraordinary
ideas about tempos, too. and occasionally
exhibits habit of starting the soloists off
dt a uldu pace, WHICH III lUtlT ITdDllC eI-
forts to keep up with the orchestra makes
them come in gasping and painting at the
finish. 1t is not pleasant to see the
gavotte in "Mignon," for instance, turned
into sort of musical racetrack, in which
the singer and the orchestra scamper un-
evenly over the score in their efforts to
keep up with the conductors baton.
With regard to the artists, Mr.. Pratt
still has the three bright particular stars
of last year, as well as several others of
lesser magnitude. He made change for
the worse when he took Max Eugene IN
stead of Mertens. The Anglo English
barytone is a fine figure of man, but mere
appearance is not enough to sustain a lyric
reputation. Miss LIGHTER, the New York
girl with the beautiful voice and the ex-
ecrable tremolo, is treasure trove; so is
Abramhoff. One feels sorry that LIGHTER
should go on abusing that exquisite organ
night after night. She is only 20, and if
she studied and overcame her defects she
might have a very big career before her.
Except LIGHTER and Abramhoff there is
no improvement in the company, and that
leads one back to the original proposition
the last state OF the Tavary Company
is worse than the first.

The Empress of Russia's Edict Against

by discountenancing the use of tobacco bv

contact. She is credited with the obserya.
tion tl-at a cigarette In the mouth of q
woman is as bad as an oath in that of a
man, and has requested that neither her
ladies-in- waiting, nor yet the ladies of the
court, should approach her so long as there
is the slightest aroma of tobacco abont
their clothes or about their person.
Now, nearly every member of the imne.
rial family, and IN natural consequence
we'll nigh every lady in court and in So
ciety, is addicted to the use and even
abuse of cigarettes, the Grand Duchess
Vladimir being conspicuous among the
number. The widowed Czarina, like her
sisters, the Princess of Wales and the
Duchess OF Cum berland, never favored The
use OF tobacco by ladies'; but in spite of
all her influence upon her husband Alley
ander III did not venture to openly object
to it on the part OF the members of her
court.
That the young Empress has had the
courage to do so constitutes a proof not
only that her influence over her husband
is OF predominant nature, but also that
she Will not hesitate to use it for the
execution of her ideas, irrespective of any
prejudices or obstacles that she might
encounter.
There is only one other sovereign in
Europe who manifests similar aversion
