In each of the composite stage pieces
OF comic purpose that have amused New
York in recent seasons funny matter
has been set forth in the form of bur-
lesques upon scenes from serious and
popular plays. 1t has been several
years, however, since any play has been
so seized upon for burlesque as was
Tess OF the D'Urbervilles" during Its
run last spring In New York. A we'll
known actress was the first to see an
opportunity to turn the remarkable
acting of Mrs, Flsle as Tess" in the
murder scene to comic account, by a
ridiculous eXaggeration of Mrs. Fiske's
characteristics and accessories, and the
great success of the fist burlesquer led
others TO imitation, although 1t may be
said that all the attempts were anus
ingly varied. At one Of the big music
halls, three knockabout comedians
evolved burlesque of the three milk
maids in Tess" that was made the
funner by the assistance of very clev-
err vaudeville actress, who had closely
studied Mrs. Fiske's work as the Hardy
heroine; and at one time during the run
Of the play at the Fifth Avenue. comical
carlcatures of scenes or characters from
"Tess" were enjoyed at no less than
half dozen of the vaudeville houses,
while e. Tess" audiences were en-
thcalld The serious power of the
play. Tess" will be seen In Wheeling
this season.

Attempting TO Reach Pittsburgh.

The indications are that navigation
on the upper Ohio win be an industry of
the past temporarily this week on ae-
count of the extremely low water. The
marks at the Wheeling public landing
last evening at o'clock showed three
feet and falling slowly. There is no en-
couragement for higher water to be
held out TO the anxious steamboatmen,
The big Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
liner, Keystone State, arrived at this
port yesterday morning, Her passen-
gers left the boat here and went up the
river to their several destinations by
rail- Captain Knox then turned his
boats prov and the Keystone went to
Bellalre, where the freight for upper
river ports was discharged and re-
shipped by rail. The captain received
instructions from Pittsburgh to lay Vi
his boat at Marietta until there is a
good boating stage on the upper river.
The Pittsburgh and Charleston boat,
Kanawha, arrived from the Great Ka-
nawha at 10 a. m. yesterday, havlnP
lighter In tow. She left soon after for
Pittsburgh, but It Is doubted that she
will be able TO go past Merrlman's bar
However, being built OF fir wood, which
Is very light and buoyant, the Bay boat
may push through to Pittsburgh. She
passed the Sisters Islands, just above
the city, in good shape.
The Pittsburgh and GAINESVILLE pack
ct, LoreRa, was due here for the Mus
kingum early yesterday morning, but
she had not reached this port at mid
night, When last heard from she was
stuck tight at Ducks bar, up the river
with little chance of getting Off on the
falling river.
The II. X. Bedford was delayed above
by the low water, and did not pass down
for Charleston and the Great Ranawha
until o'clock yesterday afternoon,
1t is probable that the river will be-
come too low for even the Ruth. Ar

In that event some of the extreme light
