"Hogan's Alley" Audience SO Disap-
pointing That the Doors Were
ThroWn Omen

''Hogan's Alley the farce presented
at the Crawford theater last night be-
longs to the class of attractions that do
not take well in this city. Manager
Peter Rice realized this fact as he sat
at the door of the theater last night,
and by the time of the close of the first
act he was so Disguised with the
audience from a numerical standpoint
that he invited all the street Arabs
and Opera House lOungers who ven
tured near the door to walk in free.
It's a benefit to the town were Civ
ing said he, and the only unfortunate
thing about ii is that while L brought
my own money along couldn't bring
my own audience along also"
"HOgan's Alley differs from the ma
jOrity of attractions of it's class in the
fact that there are really entertaining
speciality features in its construction.
With one exception these are intro
duced in the last act, the speciality by
the small Bernstein brothers in the
second act forming the exception.

Of his two offices Of premier and foreign

did not even take his secreatry. More
over, the premier is much concerned
about the health Of the Marchicness Of
Salisbury, which il far from good. The

London, Oct. IS.-The Times in its
financial article says it believes that the
cabinet has decided to decline to re-
open the Indian mints or to enter an
international monetary conference. It
says: We do not know exactly what
Mr.. Wolcott proposed. but there is no
doubt that the opening of the Indian
mints was tlc concession most seriously
pressed. The Indian government. sup
ported by the India office, strongly pre-
tested against this policy, and the home
government must have felt bound in
this year OF serious trouble for India to
indorse this position. In order, how
ever, to meet the views Of ympathizers
with bimetallism in the cabinet an init
nation may very likely be given that
the government is prepared to consider
any further or alternative proposals.
The Times, commenting edtoriaily in
approval Of the governments decision
says: President Mckinley has now
redeemed his election pledges and may
turn with pleasant sense of discharged
responsibility to the serious work of
financial reform. AS to the govern
=
posals, we may perhaps be allowed to
nope that an indulgent attitude will
not be abused. and that before again
distracting the government and the pub
lie bimetallists will be careful to see
that they have inve,-t-l something real
ly novel and practicable.
Closure Of the Indian minis has prac-
tically no defenders on the ground of alb
stract principle: and the fact that Is
results are not quite what were desired
may serve to temper dc -0ecula-
tons concernings the =. .-- e gold

government had to settle. however. i

Missile way.
THE fact that there are no tangible.

fies the government in declining to en-; er
