SMITH AND DE KovEN.
Librettist and Composer Now Receiv-
ing $4,000 Week for Their Work.


Harry B. Smith, the author of the libretto
of 1.-THE Highwayman," is unquestionably
the most successful writer connected with
the American stage The royalties from his
operas amount to more than are received
by any other American author. This year
he is receiving revenue from no less than
six immense operate successes, netting
him, perhaps, s., 900 week at conservative
estimate. During the past ten years there
has not been season when less than three
Of his operas were yielding him a handsome
income. His successes now running are
''rhe Wizard of the Nile and 1.-THE Idols
Eye for which Victor Herbert wrote the
music and which Frank Daniels is playing;
1.-THE Serenade," for the Bostonians, and
1.-THE Fortune Teller" reputed surpris-
Ing success. in which Alice Nelson has be-
gun her starring career, for both of which
Herbert also wrote the music; the famous
Robin Hood" for the Bostonians, and THE
Highwayma4," for the Broadway Theater
Opera Company, for both of which Reginald
De Koven wrote the music. Robin Hood
has paid in royalties to De Koven and Smith
$l25,e0Q. and the companies now using
smiths hbrettos are sending him each week
from 500 TO $780,
The success that Reginald De Koyen and
Harry b. Smith have met with in writing
comic operas Is something remarkable
bOtn OF these young men are from the
West. Mr.. De Koven was at one time a
bank clerk in Chicago. Mr.. Smith at vari-
Gus times in his career has been an actor
q newspaper man and a publisher in the
same city. AS writer and composer OF
Robin Hood they won enduring fame.
This WIS their first great success, and since
then the income of various works TO Mr.
Smith as royalties has Melted him seldom
less than $4,000 a year. Mr.. De Koyen's
royalties have not been quite as large for
he has not been as prolific. Reginald De
Koven, 1t Is said, Is author Of no fewer than
q dozen operas. His first was never pro-
duced. II was entitled, Cupid, Evmen &
Co., for which he wrote the book as well
as the music. 1t was rehearsed in the

pnrlx-..Pousse Cafe.

"Pousse Cafe" a Weber & Fields bur-
lesuue, which had a successful run in New
York a large part of last season. comes
to the Park tomorrow afternoon for all
week The piece is not a serious effort on
the part of the authors, Edgar Smith and
Louis de LANCE, for it was written simply
to furnish pleasant advertisement, and, judg-
ing from the prosperous run it had in New
York and the favorable comments from the
Chicago critics. it has fulfilled its mission.
The company before leaving New York this
season was drilled by Weber & Fields them
selves and contains number of
people who are not only as good,
but some of them are better than
the New York music hall favorites.
In connection with the burlesque there will
be given vaudeville performance which
comprises. as many turns as is
tertainment by the ordinary speciality
company "Pousse Cafe may be expected
to make big hit at the Park. At the head
OF the list OF performers stand Frederick

M. Cohon. The clever terpsichorean artist,
Mayme Gehrue, who claims to be the great
est rag-time dancer before the public, will
be seen in all her latest and neatest steps.
Others in the olio are Daley and Hilton,
in comedy creations, and the Musical john

The High-RolIing Baroness Blanc.

Ine H1Sh-HOlItnE baroness Blanc.
The Baroness Blanc, who is doing the bur-
lesque circuit with Bryant and Watson
Australian Beauties this year, has had what
the new reporter calls stormy career"
and number of 'pasts." Born in Phila-
delphia and for a considerable time a resi-
dent of that city, she there contracted the
marrying habit that has so wrought her
woe, beginning the string with young Mr..
Riegel, who went broke" That was what
drove the Baroness into the business In
1885 she left Riegel and Joined light opera
company, and attracted the attention Of
Baron Blanc. The baron, whose Ameri-
can praenomen is Frederic NJ received the
title from his father. John Blanc, of .Ge-
neva in Italy. The Blancs at once became
leaders of the swift set in New York and
ne promised to be one long dream of bliss
until the lady found it necessary to cause
the arrest of a detective whom her husband
had employed to shadow her whereupon
as man of spirit should he sued for a d.
Vorce and got it. 1t was in 1893 that she
was reported to have married Edward NJ
HOOK, OF Pittsburg, and a year later there
was rumor that she had again been led
to the altar by Shirley Onderdonk the very
young son of a wealthy Chicago contractor
ana who maintained gorgeous fiat on Chi
Cages swell North Side. These two mar
riages the baroness denies. or at least has
no recollection of. The baroness's last or
latest divorce, was obtained on her own APP
waters for love, after an acquaintance ex-
tending over four weeks. Mr.. Waters was a
gold brick. He had not the money he was
suspected of and the sweetness of his dis
position was soured by finding that the
haroness's mother had practically disinher-
tied her. The baroness has engaged in
various operate and dramatic enterprises
but not until last year did she go into
vaudeville her sponsor before the public
being Oscar Hammerstein. She was well
liked and has been at it ever since. She
says she does not light tights and only
wears them for arts sake. Her manager
tells with deep admiration that her har bills

DRY GOODS.

New York March H.-There was an APP
probable gain in the sales of cotton goods
and perhaps slight strengthening of the
dry goods market over that of the early
part of the week. These conditions are
more marked in some quarters than in
others, but it is evident that there are no
added discouraging eatures to the mar
ket as it stands to-day. In dress goods,
mapped fabrics and such other lines as
are beginning TO be opened the early in
quiries show much interest on the part
of jobbers. Wooden goods, however. are
dull in nearly all grades. In staple cotton
there is said to have been considerable
interest displayed in wide sheetings and
sales are reported at a trifling advance
over previous figures. Print cloths are
weak The nominal quotation is still 21sc,
but sales at 1-16c were reported yester-
day outside the market. Prints sell with
a fair degree of activity. Staples show a
steady demand in the main, on nearly
all grades.
