MUSIC AND DRAMA
AS CARDINAL RICHELIEU.

Rosteu appeared last evening at the
opera house in the greatest of Lord Bull
wer Lytton's productions, Cardinal
Richeleu" A splendid audience GREETED
the young tragedian in his role of Richie
lieu. His skill in the portrayal of the Car
dinal shows a masterful conception of the
greatest character that ever swayed the
destinies of the French nation. His
every act invited applause that the cum
ming and craftiness of the minister is so
aptly combined with the dignity and au-
tocracy of the churchman. Senility did
not impair the cardinals power to rule
France through the puppet Louis, but age
sharpened rather than diminished his
keen instinct TO quickly determine friend
from foe, and as quickly turn upon them
selves the plots and intrigues of the court
and mobiles of France, that were aimed
TO overthrow the supremacy of Rome in
France, and meant the crumbling of the
Cardinals influence with the king. In
his every tone, gesture and act Rostell
was truly Richelieu, the cardinal and min
lister of France. The young tragedian
was called before the curtain repeatedly.
BY request of many citizens Mr.. Rostell
has consented to favor Pittsburg with his
presence again on Thursday night when
he appears as Hamlet" To do this he
has been compelled to cancel other en-
gagements. It is needless TO predict that
he will be greeted with a crowded house

And Charged with the Attempted BuPgs

Boarding Hoaso-Ths suSpSct Is NIRrshaI
Harrington.
Yesterdays IRtellIgencer contained a
brief account OF the attempted burglary
at Mrs. Rebecca Harden's boarding
house, sl5 Main street. and. as stated,
1t was a bold attempt. Mrs. Harden
was seriously injured by the intruder,
whom the police beneve to be Marshall
Harrington, cOlOred man arrested
yesterday afternoon.
Clrcumstantial evidence indicates
that the police have got the right man.
Harrington's wife until recently work.
ed for Mrs. Harden, and Harrington
was familiar with the house. AS the
affair occurred in the dark no one can
positively identify Harrington, but
Mrs. Harden while resisting the vii
lain's attempts to choke her, felt a
kInRy head, and HarringtOn's sprained
ankle might have been caused by leap
Ing from the window Of Mrs. Harden's
room. The fellow who entered the
room made his eXIr by leaplng from the
window, and 1t is believed BY the
authorities that Harrington's ankle
was sprained as result Of O hasty
exit from the window.
Mrs. Harden was unconscious for
three hours after her desperate strug-
gle with the villain, who came near
choking her to death, but her screams
attracted the attention Of her niece,
Miss Bessie Taylor. who was in room
across the hall. Miss Taylor aroused
Mr.. Pseoles Tatum. but when the lat
ter entered the room the intruder had
fled. Entrance to Mrs. Harden's room,
which is on the second floor. was gained
through the window, the upper sash
having been let down for ventilation.
This Is the second attempt within a
week to burglarlze Mrs Hardens
house. Last Friday night she fright
ened an intruder on, who sought TO
enter her room through the hall door.
Yesterdays attempt occurred at $3.50
O'Clock. Mrs. Harden's face was bruised
and the inside OF her mouth was
scratched by the fellows fingers, as he
sought to gag her. The shock Mrs.
Harden received required the attention
OF Drs. Dickey and WlngeF;en for three
hours.
Harrington was arrested at his home,
near the corner OF Eleventh and Eon
streets, by Captain Bennett. and he was
taken to Jail yesterday afternoon. His
sprain prevented him from walking.
His lips were cut, which leads to the
belief that he fell on his face. His hear
Ing will occur before Squire Rogers.
