HOPPER AS DIR. sYNTAx.
wang Was Displaced by the Peda
rnnun at the National.


For the only time during his present en-
gagement De Wolf Hopper last night at
the New National presented ''Dr. SyntaX." ="
The change was probably made In defer
ence to the comedians extensive circle of
admirers, who like to see him in everything
he does. and not II all from financial con-
SderatioDs, for wang has drawn fun
houses, much less because the merits OF the
piece force it forward.
"Dr. SyntaX' is so well acted and sung,
so attractiveiy presented in all respects,
that the deficiencies OF humor and musical
brllliancy are not glaringly apparent. The
Hopper company make much of the indif-
ferently good material at hand.
De Wolf aS the pedasogtc hero OF the
frolic is characteristically lily funny. His
dancing was unusually agile, and he sang
what he had to with the enga ging manner
that stimulates his audience 10 repeated en-
cores.
The later scenes, in which he doffs the
reverent black Of the tutor for the silk and
flanpels of the sport, proved particularly
amusing.
Edna Wallace Hopper repeated her sue
cess as the yivacious Merope Mailow. Beitha
Waltzinger was heard again in her original
part of Niobe Marsh. Her solos found
favor as much for her brilliant rendering
as for their own attractiveness. Alice Hos
mer was the Zenobia Tropics, and the
sleepy suffering Psyche Persimmons, which
Jennie Goldthwaite first made prominent
was neatly done by Ida Lester.
The gentlemen of the cast are less con
SnicuOuS than the ladies. Edmond Stanley
did good work as Arthur Darlington, and
Mr.. Guise acted the heavy villain, ScowleS,
satisfactorily. Mr.. Parr as Jack Alden
sings rather better than Cyril Scott. AL
fred Klein did all he could as Lord Lawn
tennis.
wang will resume its prosperous course
tonight and will finish the week. When
Mr.. Hopper returns it will proba bly, be in
"El Captain" the Peruvian opera written
for him by Charles Klein and John Philip
Sousa. This work will be produced in
Boston the second week in April The
first company rehearsal took place on the
stage of the National yesterday afternoon.

DEMAND SOUND MONEY.
Chamber of Commerce Appeals to the
Electors,

New York. March 5.-The Chamber of
Commences special committee on sound
financial legislation today introduced in
the chamber a resolution calling upon
business men to stand by sound money in
selecting delegates to both national con-
yentions. The resolution concludes as
follows:
The time is past, if it ever existed,
for any halting, doubtful phrasing to eX-
press the meaning OF political parties upon
this important subject. We must have
no platforms that can be interpreted to
mean one thing in one part Of the land and
another thing in another part Of the land.
"It is important TO every business man.
producer, and wage-earner to put a stop
to the enormous cost to the Government
and to all of our people resulting from the
continuance of the agitation in favor of
the free coinage of silver. which stands
in the way of a revival of confidence and
national business prosperity.
Therefore, we ask all citizens to unite
in a vigorous effort to urge the selection
of delegates TO the political conventions
of both great parties who will advocate
clear and distinct platform utterances in
favor of the maintenance Of the present
gold standard Of value. The time is
short, and action ought, therefore, TO be
all the more prompt and determined

torily performed.

Guiding with the declaration that the
best thing about Apsley is that the latch
string OF his pocketbook always hangs
OUT

mated MIR. Thompson of Michigan for treas

charged the duties intruSted to him.

instructed to select an executive commit

Mr.. Hull of Iowa succeeded Senator Man
