its excellence has become one of the ira

which witnessed the performance yester-
day far surpassed, in point of size, any
thing that has been seen at the Academy

as great in volume as it could have been
made. Minnie Radcliffe, one of the best
leading women in the country is the Mer-
cedes this year and she proves much bet

guided Catalan, human being with
whom it is impossible not to sympathize,
even when she seemingly deserts the man
she loves for his arch enemy. Other mem
bers OF the company who performed the

NationaI-"The Telephone Girl"

Natiouaf-"The Telephone Girl.
One man and large number of other
people laughed at The Telephone Girl"
Yesterday afternoon at the National. The
individual in question not only laughed
at the piece but enjoyed it so hugely that
his mirth was heard all over the house and
redoubled the merriment of his neighbors.
Not everyone present was so much pleased
with the latest road Offering OF the Casino.
The TELEPHONE Girl was once work of
extreme yulgarity and obscenity. Today il
has been cut and twisted until there is lit
tie left but coarse attempt TO be risque
without having to accept the consequences.
The piece has its merits and they are not
really few, but the faults are equal IN
quality and quantity to the virtues and
cannot but be opposed to enthusiastic
praise of the presentation. Most of the en-
tertaining matter comes from the company
and is in no way to be laid to Hugh Morton
and Gustave Kerker.
The libretto of the work is rather good,
even though the plot is even more than
ordinarily vague and shallow. Some of the
lines are as bright as they are displeasing
to the sensitive, and all the lyrics show in
genuity and sparkle Mr.. Kerker has not
been as fortunate with his music, much OF
which is repetition either of himself or of
some one else There are several dainty
airs but not enough to fll out an evening,
one waltz song being the only real gem
in the comedy.
Louis Mann plays the role of a German
inspector of telephones with Hobsonesque
propensites and extracts no end of humor
from his lines and situations. There is lit
tie difference between the Hans of THE
Telephone Girl" and the Hans of The Girl
from Paris save in the fact that the for
mer has greater opportunities for talking
Clipped English Mr.. Mann's conversation
over q phone in the first act is remarka-
Bile bit of comicality and deserves credita-
BILE mention. Clara Lipman does her best
with limited chances, while James F. Me
Donald, Mabel Frenyear and Ben T. Dillon
form first clever trio and Nicholas Burn
ham. Nellie Douglas and Nick Long an
other almost as good. Other capital people
in the cast are Samuel Fisher, Rose Bra
ham, Sarah McVicker, Helen Harrington
and Florence Gammage. Joseph Fay and
William T. Terriss are poor Specialties

Mr.. Burt Seeley, engineer of the

Thursday while engaged in his occupa-

In some manner Mr.. Seeley's left arm
became caught in portion of the ma

the wheels could be stopped, much
damage was done to the member The
arm was broken both above and below
the elbow, and the muscles were very
badly lacerated. 1t is not improbable
that amputation will be necessary.
This is most unfortunate accident
to Mr.. Seeley, for beside the injury
mentioned, he lost in his childhood, by
