of the day she was seized with an abso-

nervous prostration which sent her to bed.
Nine. Aalberg's friends called in DR..
Wetterstrand, q specialist IN nervous dis
eases well known in the world of science.
He attracted general attention at the re-
cent Medical Congress in Geneva. The
doctor arrived three hours before the cur
tain was to go up on the performance.
What he did was to send the tragedienne
to sleep and tell her to get up at a certain
moment in full possession Of her voice and
faculties. The actress assented to this COM
mand and going to the theater went
through the whole play in hypnotic
condition. He- acting was emotional, ex-
cessiyely so. but sometimes her exclama-
tions recalled the cries that people utter
in dreams. In the intervals between the
passionate moments her voice, although
clear and distinct, was as if oppressed.

Grand Opera-House.

Sensational melodrama. with an accom-
paniment OF musical specialties and a
bright soubrette star, is to be the pro-
gramme for this week at Morosco's Grand
Opera house. Florence Bindley's second
piece, "The Captains Mate" is said to be
constructed with plenty of the quality
known as "ginger." From beginning to
end the exciting incidents follow each
other in quick succession, with an inter
lection of enough humorous situations
and funny dialogue to relieve the tension
of the dramatic experiences OF the various
characters.
The play deals with the Vaccinations of
a band of cutthroats, who kidnapped the
heroine when she was a baby.

Sarah's Grand Revival.

Sarah Bernhard has revived La Dame
aux Camelias" in Paris with the costumes
OF 1910. and reports from the first night
say that the gowns appeared very beauti-
full to the women. but hideous to the men.
Ten years ago the whole audience would
have laughed at the big coal-scuttle bon
net Of Mile. Saylor and the organdie dress,
the shawl and the huge bonnet, with
strings. worn by Mme Grandet. M. Gui-
trys toupet would have been an object OF
ridlcule, and so would the corse:s with
which the elegants of lS4O pinched IN
their waists and the gilt buttons with
which they studded their coats.
But the other night the Partisan public
scarcely smiled at these things, and dur
ing the entr'actes Sarah's dressng-rooDl,
which was incum pered with visitors, re-
sounded with expressions OF admiration
for the costumes. All the ladies were in
ecstacies over the great artists opera
dress, made of pink silk gauze, with seal
loped fiounces looped up with rose-colored
feathers powdered with diamonds. They
also gushed over the yellow satin mantle
with sable sleeves, the country dress OF
Nile green MORE velvet scanned with sill
yer, the little mantle of rose gauZe, and
the ball dress OF the fourth act, made of
lace, spangled with gold, looped up with
punches OF white camellias; and lastly, to
die ip, the night robe of Indian muslin.
"Ah. Doucet ade them, my friends"
cried Sarah. "Who else do you think
could have done it 2"
People looked at Nine. Grandet as they
look at box of curiosities. They walked
round her and round her coal-scuttle bon
net Towering with Marechal Mel roses
and lilac and ornamented with authentic
bonnet-strings of fiowered taffeta-bonnet-
strings which have seen sixty years OF
existence; then they walked round the
other coal-sCuttle bonnet, ornamented
with plumes and heliotrope bows.

The new acts to be added to, the Or

additions to the already great bill. Nell

the Chinaman and the schoolboy, will ap-
pear in an aerial act, the style of which
they are said 10 have created. All their
work is on the horizontal bars, but said to
be extremely funny. The brothers Detroit
are equilibrists of renown, and are styled
the worlds greatest hand balancers.
Mays and Hunter are very skillful with
the banjo, and will appear in a pro-
gramme of popular airs.
The three brothers Horn will appear in
the sketch that created so much talk last
week. Herr Grais with his imitation cir

Columbia Theater.

"Tennessee's Pardner," comedy drama,
will open at the Columbia Theater on
Monday week. No claim is made by the
management that the play is dramati-
cation of Bret Hartes story. The plot
was merely suggested by the story of that
famous author. 'Tennessee's Pardner"
has been frequently compared with
"Pudd Wilson, 'M'liss" and

those of early mining days and belong
to the types which Bret Harte has made
familiar.

Speaking of hats in the theater, l want
to pay well-deserved tribute to the COM
ing citizenesses. There was only one
man at the Suffrage matinee on Thurs
day, so the clubs have not heard the news
yet; but never was there such an exhibit
ton OF hatless ladies in San Francisco
theater as at that matinee. When the
first bars of the overture struck up, off
came the hats, as if on a prearranged sig
nal, and the spectators, even to the outer
most row, were afforded a clear view OF
the stage. The sight would have con-
vinced any man open to conviction that
nothing on earth, including the ballot,
was too good for those bareheaded women.

The Alcazar.

1.-THE Ugly Duckling" has proved such
a success that the management has de-
cided to continue it for another week.
The members of the stock company are
we'll cast, and John T. Sullivan as Count
Malatesta, and May Buckley as the Ugly
Duckling appear to better advantage than
in any thing they have yet played at the
Alcazar. The comedy roles of the piece
are well filled by Messrs. ]. B. Polk, Frank
Doane and r. C. White.
The careful and painstaking work done
by the stock company and the attention
paid to stage setting are beginning to be

a Heavy Claim for Damages.

A summons in trespass was entered
on behalf of Wasl Sedon, administrator
OF the estate of George Sclinski, on
Thursday against the Cross Creek Coal
Company and Scott e King, contract
ors, for $25, 900 damages for the death Of
George Selinski. Selinski was at work
in the third lift of the mine at Derringer
when he was struck on the head by &.
bucket, which was being raised, and
thrown into the shaft, falling seventy
five feet to his death.
1t is alleged that the accident was due
to the neglect of the company. The
coroner's jury which inquired into the
accident, found that the superintendent
was aware of violation of the mine
laws and condemned the action of the
company in allowing the pit, into which
the deceased fell, to be open.

WON THE BICYCLE RACE.
j. L. Danaker Beat Mitchell G. Gallagher
by One Second on Friday.

The bicycle race for 500 between
Mitchell c. Gallagher and j. f. Dana
ker, of White Haven, was started
promptly at o'clock on Friday after
noon by Joe Birkbeck. The start was
made at the foot Of the little hill above
the Alvintown hotel. Gallagher rode
on the right side of the road and Dana
ker on the left The race was from the
starting point named to White Haven, a
distance of about nine miles, and was
won by Danaker. The time was as fol-
lows: Danaker, 30 minutes and % 3-5
seconds; Gallagher, % minutes and "a
3-5 seconds.
AT the start Danaker was ahead, but
Gallagher passed him at different times
along the course. At Pond Creek
whore the road makes heavy curve.
they both fell from their wheels, but
without any delay they both were on
again and started off.
When the men ncared White Haven
Gallagher lost his toe-cIip and had
to slackcn up until he found the pedal
with his foot.
The finish, according to the White
Haven Journal, was interesting. Both
riders when turning the corner at Eric
and Towanda streets were about fifty to
seventy five feet apart, Danaker being
in the rear, but coming down Erie street
to the linish Danaker gained slowly and
crossed the borough limits about a half
length of front wheel ahead, only pass
ing Gallagher about seyenty-fve feet
from the line.
