WEEK AT MAIN-sTREET PARK.
An Exceptionally Attractive Bill
Arranged-The Features.

II Main-Street Vaudeville Park this
week fails to eclipse all its past success
es. il will not be because OF lack Of
strong attractions so arranged as to give
the audiences there nightly hour-and-
a-half's melange Of mirth and melody.
Now that this siege OF adverse weather
conditions may be reasonably supposed
to have almost spent itself, hopes are
general that clear skies will take the
place Of lowering clouds-hopes that are
all the more earnest because Manager
Pizzini from week to week gives evidence
or not only holding up his resort to the
high plane upon which ne opened 1t, but
Of placing 1t still higher.
For the week commencing tomorrow
night this will be particularly evidenced
by the drafting to It's boards Of two ar
tistes, who established their popularity
in connection with three or the most pro-
nouncedly successful theatrical road-ven-
lures of recent date. or these the men,
ton Of the name of Miss Marie Richmond
Is to recall. first, Hoyt's great burlesque,
"a Black Sheep" and later his equally
successful satire on American affairs
military, "A Milk-White Flag" Miss
Richmond will introduce unique recher-
che speciality, and will doubtless win her
way to that of favorite with ease. Miss
Dorothy Drew, late soubrette Of "a Happy
Home" Company, will be the other re-
cruit Her part will be contribution
OF songs in her own peculiarly effective
voice, and dances. in which bright and
pretty dresses will add their dash Of
grace and coloring to new and pretty
steps. Together with these will be cou-
pied the return OF the favorites, Miss
Adele Jackson and Mr.. Harry c. Stanley,
who will be seen in entirely new high
class comedy sketch. Then, In addition
TO these, Cooper and Stewart. two capa-
bic comedians and vocalists, will have a
stock of things TO divert. and Ralph Post
and Essie Clinton will make their bow in
eccentric comedy of refreshingly novel
character.
There will be no holdovers from the
bill which closed its engagement last
night, and the one return could not be
more acceptable were 1t an entirely new
feature.

BROAD-sTREET,s PROGRAMME.
This Weeks Bill to BE the Best
Given There This Year.

1t is not often that vaudeville man.
ayers are fortunate enough to secure two
weeks in succession bills composed OF
stars" and it is with much gratifica-
ton that Manager Leath, of the Broad
Street Park pavilion. finds himself in the
happy predcament this week OF having
another splendid array of vaudeville
talent equally as capable as that just
closed.
Prominent in the list Of people are the
Electric Clark Sisters, high-class dancers
and contortionists, who not only enter
tain you with the nimbleness OF their
feet. but they are singers Of considerable
merit and charming personalities. SeViih
and Stewart come loaded with bounti
full supply of comedy stretched out III
their one-act sketch, that is bundle o.
the merriest moments imaginable to an
audience, while Carr and Mcleod have
an act called 1.-The Original Baby In the
Cradle" that is Just chucked full OF hila-
rious comedy and a savouring OF ginger

being vulgar. Adolph Adams has, after

Petticoats of the finest white cambria,

are rapidly coming back into favor. and
If only for their cool lightness and the
frequency with which they can be wash

summer wear. much to recommend them.
They are trimmed with quite as great an
elaboration of frills, flounces, and furbe-
lows as the skirts of glace silk and OF
brocades. although the only trimming

A JOHNNY REB IN LEIPZIG.
He Attends the Fourth Of July Cele-
bratiOn There.

LEIPZIG, July n.--At 7 o'clock on the
memorable Fourth of July were assembled
in one of the largest hotels in Leipzig 300
as happy and hopeful Americans as could
be found the world over. A long way from
home and in a land where not the friend
Hest Of feeling exists towards them,
yet proud Of their native land and flushed
with the news of SIMPSONS victory. they
were the better prepared to celebrate the
Fourth. and to greet one another as
brothers. They were aware that every
word said would be criticised and that
even unfriendly eyes witnessed their cele-
bration from the gallery of the dining
hall. Under such circumstances they
came together TO celebrate independence
Day in Leipzig. The large hall was deco
rated as only American ladies understand
how to decorate, and 1t reminded one OF
many a festive scene beyond the ocean.
A letter from Mark Twain was read just
as the dinner began, and the wit and good
humor Of that most celebrated and popu-
lar author added not a little to the JOY
Of the occasion. The first thing was
recitation OF the Declaration Of Ameri-
can Independence, from Professor Ricn-
ardson. an Englishman, but one who UNI
derstands the good in American life, and
who certainly understands the spirit Oh
Jefferson's famous composition better
than most Americans themselves. One
felt the very spirit and solemnity of the
occasion almost as it was felt in Phila-
delphia a hundred and twenty-five years
ago.
The speech Of the occasion. was Ambas-
sador Whites. The situation for him as
a representative of the American Govern
ment In a country seeking every oppor-
tunity to bring on difficulty, was delicate,
yet so careful, so diplomatic, was about
to say. was his utterances, that genuine
reproof was dealt the German papers and
public, without in any way compromising
our government And accordingly the
papers have taken up the gauntlet and
every day since, some paper comes out
with a long review Of the Ambassadors
address and an attempt to answer 1t.
After the toasts were all given and
genuine American dinner was made way
with. the hall was cleared for dancing,
which lasted till o'clock. And happy
dance ii was. Who could not dance,
after the news that had come from San
