One OF the show places beloved Of the WISH
tors to a mountain town near New York is a
colonial house associated with some Of the
most famous incidents in the Revolution.
Here are gathered many relics Of the persons
who figured In these occurrences. and most OF
them are authentic beyond question. But
they were not Of a kind that would prove dec
orative and the question OF fitting up the house
appropriately was one of the first that arose

characters was forthcoming. there was no
other course than 70 rely upon the antique fur,
niture shops for the necessary decorations OF
the bleak rooms. which. in spite OF genuine
guns and papers. needed more to increase their
Unnecessary articles. and to-day the place is as
appropriately furnished as II. the, pieces had

The first time that New FORK saw Cissie
LOTUS she was a bride. and with Justin Huntly
Mccarthy. her husband. she made a diverting
picture Of q devoted married couple. Days
Theatre had never witnessed anything like IL.
She was never seen without her husband ex-
cept on the stage. and Mr.. Mccarthy was never
seen alone. For their comparatively short
sta here they took an APARTMENT and set Up
housekeeping. A mere hotel could not con-
tain such domesticity. Then the wife was
only 1S and she had married the young author
and dramatlst against great. opposition. When
Cissie LOTUS comes again to Roster Il Balls

Eugene Ysaye. who ratified Anton Seidl's
bones and listened to hear IL his own name
came out OF the sound, has evidently aban-
doned his extensive plans for the formation

the orchestra at the opera house. These
schemes were never heard OF after NJ. Ysaye
confded them to the reporters mainly on the
strength Of the fact that he had been in negotia-
| ton with NJ. Seidl before.his death In regard
to a place in the orchestra the late conductor
was then forming. NJ, Ysaye will not return

the Philharmonic as we'll as the more popular
concerts. But the public interest in his per-
formances did not follow him 70 the %recitals
