IRVING a BACK NUMBER
AMERICANS TEE ONLY ONES TO
SCORE IN "PETER THE GREAT
The Play Not Success, but Robert

New York Theatrical News.

LONDON. Jan. S.-"Peter the Great" Sir
Henry Irving's new fve-act play, written
by his son Lawrence, which reopened the
Lyceum on last Saturday night prom
Uses to hold the boards for some time. Now
that the enthusiasm aroused by the first
performance has disappeared. the London
play-goers and critics have come to the
conclusion that Peter the Great" is nei-
Their a great nor good play, and that Sir
Henry Irving's impersonation will not rank
among his triumphs, while Ellen Terry eff
faces herself in a small part. Like all his
torical dramas it is long drawn out and at
times the action seems to flag. There is
the usual number of explanatory passages
and "reminiscences, which are necessary, no
doubt, to proper comprehension of the
play, but which an audience is apt to yawn
over. Like all of Irytngs productions, the
play is Superbly staged.
The work of the three Americans in the
caSt-Robert Taber, husband of Julia Mar
lowe; Ethel Barrymore, daughter of Maui
rice Barrymore, and Miss Rockman-per-
haps was accorded as warm appreciation
by the highly fashionable and strictly first
night audience as that of any of the per-
formers on the stage. Each was compelled
to respond to several curtain calls. Taber,
as Alexis gave q really brilliant imperson-
alton of the vacillating, characterless heir
and is believed by many to score the real
honorS of the production. AS for Miss Bar
rymore she fascinated her auditors by her
beauty. She was so pretty they almost for
got her acting. The character of Euphrosine
the tickle, captious mistress of Alexis, do
not suit her capabilities, and the critics
believe the part is beyond her. Miss Rock
man, the third of the trio of Americans
in this company, gave a most convincing
representation as the divorced wife of the
Gar There were loud calls for Miss Barry
more the first night. At first she would not
appear. But the applause and calls grew
so loud that finally Mr.. Taber led her from
the wings. She bowed prettily. Then she
fairly ran off the stage amid a perfect
furore of applause that showed what a
hold her charm of manner had obtained
on her audience 1t was great triumph
for the Americans.

cred clever and pleasing.

THE MYSTERY CLEARED.
A Drunken Painter Had Slept In the
Hay Loft.

Friday morning, when young man live
ing at No. 521 East Ohio street started out
the back way to go to work, he was accost-
ed in the alley by strange man, dressed
only in his underclothing, who demanded a
suit of clothes He claimed he must have
the clothing to avoid arrest. He grabbed
the young man by the shoulder and made
demonstration as if he would try to take
the clothing off the young mans person.
The young mans father came out, on hear
ing the dispute, and together they drove
the fellow away, thinking he was an es-
capped lunatic.
A short time later it was learned that the
driver of one of the Putnam County Milk
Company's wagons, who keeps mis- horse
in the stable in the rear of No. $40 East
Ohio street, had found suit of clothing
and a cap in the horses stall about
o'clock in the morning. when he went to
hitch up. The clothing and cap were be-
spattered with blood
Putting the two circumstances together.
the people of the neighborhood became
very much excited as did the police when
they were informed of it, as soon as sew
erai men could run to headquarters. Super
intendent Quigley detailed nearly all the
members of the detective force and two or
three patrolmen to investigate the case.
1t was supposed the strange man had COM
mitted a murder, and had cast off his
clothing to avoid detection from the blood.
The neighborhood was secured for the
corpse but none was found.
The mystery was finally clearned up and
the police kept as quiet about II after II
was cleared up as before The strangely
acting man was a drunken painter. He was
drunk Thursday night and went to sleep
in the stable, taking off his clothes on the
ground floor and going to bed in the hay
above When he awoke he could not find
his clothes. He evidently put them in the
nd % az fhDm n
der its feet The fellow had not come
fully TO his senses when he found himself
in the alley and sought the first means
which occurred 10 him to supply himself
with wearing apparel
He was afterward given a suit of old
clothing at Hitzs bakery. on South Ala
bama street. The blood on his own gar
ments is accounted for by the fact that his
nose bled before he went into the stable.

OIL STATISTICS REFUSED.
State GeOIOgist Cam Get No Informal
ton from Companies.

The state geologist recently wrote to the
three pipeline oil companies doing bust
ness in the State asking them to give him
figures on the amount of oil handled by
each during the past year that he might in
sert the information in his forthcoming re-
port. He received replies yesterday from
the Indiana Pipeline and Refining Com
pany and from the Manhattan Oil Com
pany, and both refused to give the desired
information, assigning as a reason the 'pe-
culiar competition in the oil business. The
Standard Company has as yet made no re-
ply.
The geologist will endeavor to obtain sta
tistics of the oil production from other
sources. His experience has led him to the
belief that the Legislature should pass a
law requiring companies dealing in natural
resources to furnish information to the
state officials regarding their output.
Last year the oil production of the State,
says the geOlogist, was about a million
barrels short of the output of 1896, when
five million barrels were taken out. OF the
oil produced in 1897 the Standard handled
about three million barrels. the Manhattan
Company about two hundred thousand bar
rels and the Indiana Pipeline Company
about eight hundred thousand barrels. The
last wear was the first year since the OPEN
ing of the field, IN 1889, when 1885 barrels
were PRODUCED, that there has been a de-
crease in the output over a preceding year.

PetruchiO a Triumph After Farcical
and Pnfhefic Roles.

It was a string Of brilliants that Sol
Smith Russell gave Indianapolis at his
closing performance at Englshs last
night. The bill said that he would present
three distinct characters" illustrating
'pathos, comedy and farce" 1t was dar-
ing thing to pass from Tobias Shortcut,
with his NAL de mere. his fright, his pre-
tense-the very essence of farce-to Mr..
Valentine, with his CHASTITY guests of men,
cries, his waning life, his death--the very
tears and sobs of pathos. But from these
to Petruchio was venture indeed
hazardous. Mr.. Russell's friends watched
the attempt with anxiety, marked
its progress with increasing won
der and applauded it's consuInmation
with delight. AT first he seemed an unnat-
ural Petruchio. His voice was metallic and
forced in the beginning. All this disap-
peared once the audience realized that
David Holmes and Mr. Valentine were no
more; that the actor had assumed a new
mask with the throttling voice and fierce
mustache of Petruchio. Here was a mate
for tgresS Kate that Shakespeare drew.
With whip and oath Petruchio stOrmed the
stage He bullied ands beloved until the
rafters ratified. Sparks fairly flew whenever
he and Kate came together. But this was
a new Petruchio, or rather a revival of the
old Booth Petruchio, where the spirit of
Hates master. Although Petruchios whip
cracked about the ears of Kate one was
permitted to see that the cracker was only
joke and that Petruchio enjoyed the
task of reducing Kate to human with
heart and SO |. And SO it was till the
naughty beauty with savagery all turned
to love, looked her conqueror in the eye
and repeated those words of ma
ture and fate-'1ove. honor and
obey" as the curtain fell. Then everybody
looked around, drew long breath, gazed
on their play bills and recalled the fact that
their old friend Sol Smith Russell had been
acting Petrucho Such was the triumph
of this actors forceful versatility. His
quickness on one knee when Katherine calls
him a movable a stool, his leonIne
caresses when he hugs her, and hugs her
in the very frenzy Of her devillsh temper,
his conduct toward servants, wife and self
when he brings his bride home-all was
most excellent. Miss Crane as Katherine,
the beautiful tgress was true mate for
Russells dynamic Petruchio. Miss Crane
justly shared the honors with Mr.. Russell.
For the rest of the company the members
gave an acceptable performance, but the
lack of familiarity with Shakespeare was no
ticeable. Russell has given a lavish scene
setting for every act of his triple bill and
costumed the characters richly.

Debut Of "The Old Coat,

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga three-act
comedy by Lieut.. w. H. Allderdice, OF the
United States navy, entitled 1.-THE Old
Coat had its first presentation at the Co
lumbia Theater tonight. 1t was a laugh
ing success throughout, and large audi
ence gave it generous approval. Rudolph
Aronson and other theaterical managers,
who were here to see the performance, ex-
pressed such satisfaction with it that it is
understood the piece will have a New York
production at an early day. 1t is a chain
of ludicrous complications connected with
the private papers intrusted to an old coat
in a lawyers office Frederick Bond took
the part of Lieut.. Hartwell u. S. NJ just
back from China, who becomes the center
of the farcical complications, and John F.

ceptably.

In the week closing Jan. the volume of bust
ness was up to expectations in most lines. On the
wholesale streets the sales handsomely exceed
those of the first week of 1897 and the travelling
statesmen who came in on Friday and Saturday
gave very encouraging reports. People are more
cheerful. Money plentiful and a disposition
shown to buy goods with much more willingness
than for many months past. Last years bills
have been unusually well cleaned up. In prices
there were no important changes. Staple groceries
are in strong position. even coffee being frmer.

prices. Provisions are moving we'll at shade

Locke is a song writer. He denied the
charges against him, and there was much
conflicting testimony. Locke was with some
