TWO NEW PLAYS.
MRS MADELEINE LUCETTE RYLEY'S
LATEST WORK

THE RETURN OF MIR. BUGLE'-CHARLEs H.
HoYTs "A STRANGER IN NEwYORK"
The coming week will be little less pro-
ductive OF theatrical novelties than the last one
was. The most of the theatres are open now
and are getting over the doubtful first weeks OF
the season with varied prosperity, in proportion
70 their varied deserts. Gradually the plays are
becoming more interesting, and soon the re-
turning New-Yorker m search of city amuse-
ments will find the usual field of choice. The
most important works of the season are still
in prospect but the next month OF so will bring
a number of plays that will repay attention.
A new play by Mrs Madeleine Lucette Ryley,
the author Of christopher, Jr." and 1.-The Mys-
terious Mr. Bugle" will be seen for the first
time i'm New-York at Waack's Theatre to-mor-
row night. 1t has had the customary trial of
few nights out of town. The name of the play
lis "A Coat of Many Colors.'
q The two leading characters in it, the man
and the woman, are both learned in the law,
and they are brought together at the end, in de-
fance of the danger of disagreement between
specialists. The man lawyer has been enough
of woman-hater to get himself called Joseph
but he yields to the charms OF the woman law
yer. This incident. with its attendant circum-
stances forms the serious part or the WORK. Out
ii is reported that the comic part Is also proihi
nent. The sedate man lawyer has a brother VINO
Is less sedate and who causes annoyance ny
having the same initials. He has also 1ather
Of frivolous turn of mind from whom ne 1aiis
to get that sympathy which he feels that ne mas
right to expect. Then there Is Scotchnah
with passion for litigation, and he has daush-
ter who is married to the lawyers brother and
does not dare to tell her father OF IT.

Colors" is headed by w. J. lie MOyne. Herbert

IN MEMORIAM.
Free Silverites Held Services at Caledonia
Park Monday.

Park Monoay.
A small number of free silverites who dis
like to turn their backs so soon on newly
adopted party and policy, even in the face
of facts which prove its principles false, as
sembled at Caledonia Park Monday after
noon to sing the praises of the lost cause,
and to try and make themselves believe
that things were really no better than they
prophesied they would be last fall.
A silver trio sang the requiem, "The OLD
Silver Dollar" the tune which became so
well known last summer, and feeling of
mingled hope and sadness--m0stly sadness,
though they knew not why-surged over
the listeners as the silvery tones of the sill
yer song of the silverites swelled over the
empty benches cut into the leafy branches
of the trees and far away from Owosso's
famous park into the blue ether beyond.
The reputation and ability of the speaker,
the famous prohibition ex-governor of Kan
sas, John p. st. John, really deserved a
larger audience-and better subject. The
farmers, however, were too busy taking
care of SO cent wheat, factory hands could
hardly get day off if they tried, and mer-
chants have enough to do attending to in
creasing trade, SO the ex-governor had to
make the best of those who could, and had
the disposition to, get away. Besides the
old, old free silver story, the story OF Billy
Bryan, Gov. st. John had lot of witty
things to say about the new Dingley tariff
law. He has happy way of making things
seem ridiculous and really made some of his
listeners breathe easier to feel that they
were not responsible in the slightest degree
for the awfully funny mistakes or features
which appeared, according to him, to be en-
bodied in the act.
Taken altogether the service, though not
attended in large numbers, was quite con-
soling to more or less of those in attend
ance, and they can now proceed 10 forget
free silver faster than ever. They have
done their duty, have held free silver pic
mic, and can now turn their attention as of
yore to the needs of improving business.

1t Is simply folly for free.silv man to
talk of himself as a bimetallist when the
actual ratio of the metal is SO to 1, and the
democratic platform demands that it shall
be 16 to 1. An ounce of gold will buy S66
ounces of silver In any market In the world
where silver is sold. Free coinage of A
cent dollars as 10O-cent dollars would, of
course, Danish gold. except so far as 1t was
boarded. Now all gold not hidden is
practically in circulation, then none of it
would be. This is contraction to the ex-
tent of the gold in use, and having but one
metal, silver, is silver monometallism.
