Manager Charles E. Evans, from Hot
Springs, Ark, where he is enjoying
nid-winter vacation, reports signs
of the poor business of travelling
troupes through the South. The lead
ing man of a stranded company the
other day complained that money was
not to be had at any price. The leading
man was unable to secure sufficient
funds from the manager to get an i'm
perative hair cut, having finally to SUBJ
NIT himself to the leader of the or
chestra for shearing. The funny man
Of the same troupe applied to the man

It is claimed by the management
of this organization inst it realizes
the meaning of the expression "stock
company more completely than any
other in existence with the exception
of the celebrated stock aggregations
of the metropolis, namely, Augustin
Days, the Empire and the Lyceum
If this assurance is verified, first
class entertainment may be expected,
for the repertoire is excellent, and the
symmetrical performances of a good
stock company are far more faith
full, intelligent and satisfactory than
the efforts of the average star COM
binations, which are often travesties
upon nature and common sense. The
play is, indeed. the thing, and this is
as it should be, with the modern de-
mand for completeness of detail, har-
mony of action and proper proportion

Insists upon stage pictures which shall
be reflections of life, with each phase
pf the composition faithfully mirrored.

The plays constituting the repertoire of

In Buffalo. on Feb. 26. This is the first
English version ever made of Dumas
La Femme de Claude" which was
first given adequate illustration by
Duse in Italy, before she came to this
country, and has for several seasons
been one of the most notable plays in
her repertoire. Before the famous ri
valry between Duse and Bernhard, the
French actress never had attempted
this remarkable play of her great COM
patriot, but now she uses 1t as one Of
her test pieces in her competition with
the Italian actress.
Manager Frederick Hallen, late Of the
firm of Hallen & Hart has engaged
to present the extravaganza THE

seen In this city. Some of the people
are Molly Fuller, John T. Kelly, Gus

Annie st. Tel, Aimee Van Duyn,
Thomas Lewis and a chorus under the
direction of Mr.. Arthur Pell.

BILE actors in some of the successful
plays which have been hustled out of

to remark that Cahan has relatives all
over the oountrysin small places. and
when he wants them to see the new
plays he shifts their routes accordingly.

performances on passes. This is prob

Capt. Vetrio, young man who eats poisons
and lives to tell what a savory article of diet
they form, made his first bow to the New
York public at Huber's Fourteenth Street mu-

Boston for the past month and has consid-
erably stirred up the medical fraternity of
that staid place by his wonderful stomach
and nervous system. neither of which is in
the least affected by the absorption of the
deadliest poisons. He relishes Paris green

An English actor, Charles Hudson, having
foollshly rushed into print with an impotent
reply to hostile criticism, Bernard Shaw, in
the London Saturday Review, pats him on the
back, saying: Not only ought actors to
write occasionally, to show the critics
their ideas of dramatic criticism, but the
critics ought to act from time to time so
as to show the actors their notions of act
ing. If Mr.. Hudson perseyeres for few
years, he will make fair average critic. At

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The Re

campaign fund Of $40, 900, 900 and buy
McKinley's election. The suffrage Is
70 be debauched in the States of Illi-
nois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio. West yir-
ginia and Maryland. These States
have, jointly, 125 electoral votes. They
expect TO capture the 80 votes Of New
England and the 81 Of Pennsylvania
without serious effort, and the 46 Of
New York and New Jersey by reason
able work and reasonable expenditure.
The big fight will be made in the nine
States first mentioned. The Republic
can managers believe that they are
doubtful and at this time disposed 10
favor Bryan. The Republicans look
upon Wisconsin, also, as a doubtful
State, notwithstanding the fervid pro-
testations Of Senator Villas and General
Bragg.
Mr.. Hanna has served notice, It Is
said, on the New Workers that he must
have s20,000,000 to insure McRin-
ley's election. This money will be con-
tributed, to a large extent, by the
money changers of New York. The
manufacturers are sulking. The gold
men insist upon the tariff question be-
ing kept In the rear. The Republican
managers seem TO be more solicitous of
pleasing the boiling gold Democrats
and the garrulous squad Of free trade
mugwumps than their old friends and
standbys, the manufacturers The lat
ter are practical set OF people. They
are not in the habit Of giving some
thing for nothing. They are afraid
that in the present condition in the
Senate 1t would be impossible to pass
tariff bill that would be Of any great
benefit to them during the four years
OF McKinley's presidency.
Back Of IL all. the nanufacturs are
not as enthusiastic for the single gold
standard as some of their friends and
party associates. II required an effort,
in fact, to prevent q number Of big
manufacturers from stalnpeding 70 free
coinage before the National Conven-
tons were held. While, Of course. all
the manufactures will support McKfn.

the campaign as they have been In the
habit Of doing. They explain that
they bore the expense of nominating
Mckinley and that IL the bankers had
not insisted upon putting him on q
gold standard platform his election
would DC easy. The bankers having
captured Mckinley, so to speak, they
are now invited BY the manufacturers
to elect him.
