AT the Clunie Opera-house this after
noon at 2 o'clock the emotional drama
East Lynne" by the stock company.
The piece will be given again this even
ing.
The Metropolitan Theater was filled
last night to see Corinne in the extrav-
aganza ''Hendrick Hudson, Jr.'' The
play was given as when first presented
here, but with new songs, specialties
and witticisms. Co1nne has changed
but little. She is as piquant and pleas
ing as ever, and in the third act she
fairly dazzles the eyes of the spectators
with blaze of diamonds Her costum-
ing throughout is very rich and snowy.
She has good support, but the chorus is
lighter than we had been led to expect
from the advance notices. The musical
burlesque goes off with a snap and spirit
that speaks Of good management and
competent people anxious to please.
Corinne is seen in the leading role, in
a mandolin solo, and in Spanish song
and dance, and In each case is the re-
cipient of applause and encores that are
very fattering. The wit of the COM
pany is Joe Cawthorne. He keeps the
audience In a roar Of laughter. His as
sumption of a German struggling with
the English tongue Is maintained
Throughout. and is in itself provocative
of laughter If he did not say an original
thing nor crack a single joke, whereas
he overfows with puns, droll sayings.

company. The extravaganza will be re-
neated tonight Tor the last time.
The Metropolitan Theater was lighted
By electricity last night for the first
time. 1t greatly beauties the house
and adds much to the pleasure of an
evening there. The disposition Of the

REMEMBERED HIS FRIENDS.
Secretary Leiong Divides the Results
of His Hunt Among Them.

Secretary Lelong of the State Horti-
cultural Society is tenderly ministerfng
to the anguish Of his Democratic friends
In their hour of defeat, and trying to
scothe their sorrows by pan1pering their
appetites.
He went cunning ON Thursday and
brought home about thirty nice, fat
black birds about the size of so many
spring chickens. He was not at all
selfish but sent some of them by mail
to his friends in different parts Of the
State. and sent others by express, and
hopes they will be duly appreciated.
1t is feared, however, that some OF the
recipients will not appreciate the kindly
spirit that actuates him, judging from
what happened in the Capitol yester-
day. Commissioner of Highways
Maude took one of the birds in and ten
dered 1t to one of his colleagues, but it
was refused, with the remark, Take it
away I had crow for breakfast, and
have had all I wanti Take it away!"
1t is not at all certain therefore that

OF thanks and narratfons Of what a fine
