The California Theater.

The production of 1.-THE Minstrel Of Clare at
the California Theater last evening was greeted
by good house, but not SO good q house as
this delightful play deserves. 1t is a scene Of
Irish life, in which is depicted some viIlainy,
much love, and rollicking son of the old sod
is In evidence. This last, Larry O'Lynn in the
csst is assumed by Chauncey Olcott, whose
portrayal of the character was marked by a
naturaIness that caused many in the audience
to give vent to the expression, "that's true
Irish lad for YOU"
In the audience there were Knights of the
Red Branch, Knights of Tara and members of
the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles, not in
the regalia or uniform of these organizations,
but in their capacity as civilians accompanied
by wives, sweethearts or relatives, and they
numbered 200.
During the performance Mr.. Olcott sang
"The Minstrel Boy" 'Love Remains the
Same" and other airs with much sweetness
and pathos, but the one that captured the
audience was the Home" song, which car
ries the sentiment expressed in John
Howard Payne's Home, Sweet Home" The
air is catchy, and after the play was
over hundreds of individuals wbistled
the refrain. Admirers of the sweet singer pre-
sented him with large floral flag with the
Inscription, 1.-The Knights of Tara" and with
two other large floral pieces.
Luke Martin, who takes the part OF Matt
Dugan, a sort of Michael Feeney character,
acted his part well, and Georgia Busby was
very acceptable as Nellie Cregan- The play is
deserving of good patronage.

CURTAINS ROSE ON
LARGE AUDIENCES,
Plays Produced for the
First Time in This
City.
FUN AT THE BALDWIN.
The Gay Parisians" Won the
Tribute of a Night of
Laughter.
"TR0VAT0RE" IS WELL SUNG.
At All the Local Theaters the Per-
formances Were Received With
Approval.
"TROvAToRE" IS WELL SUNG

The week at the Baldwin Theater opened
with large and fashionable attendance
last evening. This large and fashionable
audience laughed the greater part of the
evening while the curtain was up over the
fun-making situations found in 1.-THE Gay
Parisians." Many laughed until there
we're tears in their eyes. There is no ques-
ton that 1.-THE Gay Parisians" is funny,
and that means that it will have a good
run. That it has any other merit would
not be claimed for it. The plot has already
been given.
The incidents all center around the old
device of "a night OUT in a restaurant, in
which some of the parties fear that they
will be compromised by having their iden-
tity discovered. The first act is merely
Introductory and the third act is devoted
to clearing up the mysterious occurrences
of the second act.
w. ]. Ferguson, although in poor
voice, made the part of Joseph Pioglet
vivacious beyond the actual merit of his
lines and did some very clever pantomim-
ing. James 0. Barrows with his standing
part of Matthew was excruciatingly droll.
Sadie Martinez as Mrs. Paillard had
all the opportunity afforded her
that was necessary by singular
and embarrassing happenings to call forth
the ready and willing Endorsement OF
hearty laughter. Margaret Gordon was
very trim and attractive maid as Vic
toriare. Some of the best work was done
by Mrs. E. J. Phillips as Angelina, the
wife of Pioglet, who filed the unweleome
role of the henpecking wife.
The title of the play carries the impress
sion that the whole is mass OF amusing
absurdities. There is little of originality
in anything excepting the dialogue and
the fact that the playwright, seeing many
plays of a similar sort preceding, has
seemingly resolved to make composite
of them all, but that does not matter
when the purpose of the work is
concerned. 1t is probable that the fun
NEST lecture that could be written or de-
livered would be reached by having a
dozen wits collaborate. The fact is COM
mented on, somewhat curiously, that
The Gay Parisians has no known
author. The real wonderment would
be if any one person would claim
its authorship. The hypothesis is reason
able that some manager commanded t hat
the effect of the composite order of fun
should be tried on. It Is true that there
are.two authors given, whose names figure
on the programme, but it is also alleged
that they had nothing to do with it.
The fact is that ''The Gay Parlsians"
was compiled rather than composed on
the general theory that many heads are
better than one. The work was not all
even. Charles B. Wells as Paillard was
not particularly amusing. The perform
ance of even Sadie Martinez at times
seemed perfunctory. But the general
effect was, as before has been said, to
make the audience laugh. and that is ali
the piece was ever intended to accom- plish.

conference in Washington between silver
men and Philadelphia manufacturers.
three prominent members of the Manufac-
turers' club today addressed . let
ter to Robert Dorm, its president,
requesting him to call meeting of
the club for the purpose of informing the
country of the real situation of the silver
question in the organization. The letter is
as follows:
"Today's papers show that the capital
which the friends of free and unlimited
coinage of silver are trying to make out of
the Washington visit of Philadelphia man
ufncturers rest upon as unsound and frail
a foundation as the whole structurejthey
are trying to erect.
IAN erroneous impression has certainly
been spreading over the country that our
Philadelphia manufacturers are willing to
conciliaie the silver senators by approving
the free silver coinage in exchange for adj
ditional protection, and has given new life
TO the agitation for free silver. This i'm.
preston should be reviewed in the most
public and emphatic manner, and we re-
quest you to call meeting of the Manu-

their opinion on free silver coinage. We

INDIAN LANDS
The Senate COMMITTEES Recommends Troops
for Indian Territory

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The senate
committee on Indian affairs today united
in a letter to the president recommending
that a regiment of United states troops be
stationed permanently in Indian territory
for the purpose of preserving order there.
The letter was drawn by Senator Morgan
and signed by all the members of the COM
mittee present. 1t grew out of a general
discussion in the committee of the condi-
tion of affairs in the territory, which was
incident to an effort on the part of the
committee to agree upon a plan for the
government of the territory. A decision
was reached to recommend that an amend
ment be added to the Indian appropriation
bill authorizing the Dawes commission to
continue its labors by numbering the In
dans and dividing the lands of the terri
tory among them. 1t is understood that
this proceeding, If undertaken, will not be
agreeable to The Indians, and it is feared
that there may be an aggravation of the
present bad condition of affairs, which
would make it desirable to have RESPONSE
BILE authority near enough to be called upon
in case of necessity. The committee say.
however, that the recommendation for
troops is nothing new and has been re-
peated from time to time by representa-
tives of the government who have visited
the territory,
The amendmant to the appropriation
bill which the committee will recommend
will provide that the committee shall make
q rollcall of the five civilized tribes and
decide who are citizens and who are not.
and their decision shall be final in this
respect. This done, they are to suggest q
plan for the division of the lands, which
ia to be reported to congress.

gathering Of members Of the Salvation
army at Waterloo railway station to bid
farewell to Mr.. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker,
who sail for New York from Southampton
by the American liner St. Louis, in order
to assume command of the forces there.
Commander Booth-Tucker, in an inter-
view at the station, said: "Our plan,
primarily, is this: We hope to induce
Ballington Booth to return to the fold and
will make him most liberal offers. Failing
this, we have q great belief in the efficacy
of prayer, and shall labor with him in a
prayerfui spirit. We have great hopes in
his sisters influence, as he is very fond
of her, and this may prevail with him
and induce him to come back to
the generals side. Should he be obdurate
I do not believe i will greatly affect the
army in America"
The general kissed both his son and
daughter, and a. the train started he
formed his hands into . trumpet and
shouted: "Remember my message to
America"
The general, in the course Of an inter-
view, after the departure OF the Booth
fuckers for Southampton, remarked: !:
my message to America is simple one
Peace and good will.'"
When he was asked IL he thought Bal
lington Booth would return to the army,
the general replied:
II am absolutely confident that he will. :"
When asked why he was SO confident, he
answered: ION account Of my prayers" "
