Wheels Within Wheels" the cast OF
which includes Robert Hilliard and
John B. Mason, did not score hit in
New York last week. The main plot
shows pretty and wholly worthless
wife, who betrays her husband with a
good-looking young man. He wants
her to elope at once. but she would
rather wait a few weeks, because she
has some attractive social invitations
on hand. She decides, however, 10
yield to his threats and goes off 20
meet him at country inn, where the
elopement is to commence. When she
arrives there she is persuaded TO
change her mind and returns to her
unsuspecting husband, not because she
repents, but purely as matter OF ex-
tendency.
The big Eisteddfod to be held at
Cincinnati on New Years day is assum-
ing great proportions. News of prep
arations from places outside of Gin
cinnati indicate that the affair will be
one of the largest of it's kind ever held
in America. Messrs. Jones and Grit
fiths visited the Indiana gas belt cities,
including Elwood, Anderson, and Gas
City, and secured the promise of male
chorus each from Anderson and Eiwood
and a mixed chorus from Gas City.
There are thousands OF Welshmen en-
gagged in the tin plate industry in this
district, and petition is in circula-
ton, and being numerously signed, to
have all the tin plate mills closed for
the festival. If this is accomplished
land it no doubt will be- at least 1000
people are expected from this section
alone.
die Bluthochzeit, oder die Barth-
olomausnacht," THE Blood Wedding;
or, St. Bartholomew Night an adap-
tation of which will be produced by Sir
Henry Irving next spring, is by the
German dramatist, Albert Lindner. AS
Charles TX in this play Ernest Possart
frequently appeared in his American
engagements. 1t is a gloomy though
powerful play, which might we'll have
been called Catherine de Medici,
since the intriguing and INSCRIPTIONS
mother of Charles TX is its central fig
ure. The author brings before us
some fourteen other historical person
ages, including Charles TX, Henry,
King of Navarro, the Dukes of Anjou,
of Alencon, and of Guise, the Cardinal
of Lorraine. Coligny. and Margaret Of
Valois. The scene is laid entirely in
the Louvre. To compel Charles TX to
sign the order for the massacre, Cath
crime shows him in magic mirror a
figure with crown and sceptre, which
the diseased imagination of the King
easily conceives to be Henry of Ma
varra. Again, when the King fires
on the fugitive Huguenots from the
windows of the Louvre the musl1et he
asks for is handed him by murdered
Coligny's ghost.
The envious declare that as Padere-

heroes most earnestly beloved by matt

more, Kelley, Sothern, Harry Miller,

Morgan. The first time he visited
America Boston rejected him con-
temptuously, and his original receipts
at the Madison Square Garden Concert
Hall were meagre. Nobody with new
message in art can be long in this city
without recognition, and before this
queer looking musician had made up
his mind to go home in despair we took
him to our hearts and acclaimed the
name OF Paderewskl. The prosperity
for which he had worked in patience
and poverty for II years came TO this
engaging creature in New York, and he
awoke one morning in Madison Square
to find himself famous. Europe ac-
cepted the verdict of our town, and
now the Pole with the auburn hair is
as popular in England and the Cont
nent as he is in America. After the
original Boston damper on his hopes
Paderewski's fortune grew like Jacks
bean stalk. The receipts of his first
American season were $780, the sec
ond brought him 100000, the third
SPAS. 900, thus doubling his income ey-
cry year. At that rate his tournee this
winter should take in half a million
dollars; but it is not believed that our
people are prepared to pay so much this
year even for Paderewski. If he can
have S250,000 this season the Pole
should be satisfied Most of it is
profit. Beyond advertising, the mana
gers salary, and the rent Of hall he
has few expenses, and almost every
dollar going into the box Office finds
it's way into his pocket. Ii his usual
luck follows him this winter Pader-
ewski will earn $1,000 a recital, $500
an hour, or about $40 every time he
lays his fingers on the keys. Jean de
