Charles Coghlan

Public appreciation and real merit in a
play and of real dramatic power in an ac-
tor, has never had better illustration
than in the success of Charles Goghlan in
his new romantic play, "The Royal Box"
which has proved the real theatrical at
traction in New York last season and a
part of this season. Mr. Coghan has but
six days advance advertising for his New
York opening. While he was well known
his play was not. The actor and play prov
ed an instantaneous hit, even at advanced
p-,ees-$2 being charged for seats in the or
chestra stalls, and Mr.. Coghlan's receipts
steadily advanced from $3.50 on his opening
night to an average of $1,000 at each per-
Torrance. Even his transfer from the
Fifth Avenue theater to the Garden theater
made no difference in his business and his
twenty weeks run in New Yor xviii go
into the stage history of that city as a not
able theatrical event.
Since that time the play has toured the
country and on his journey the success has
fully equalled that achieved in New York.
That Birmingham will be no exception is
proved by the unusually large advance sale
for tomorrow night.

THE LATE WILLIAM A. CoNNELL.
Funeral Services Will Take Place
Tomorrow Afternoon.

William A. Connell, son of Congress
man and Mrs. William Connell, died
yesterday morning at an early hour
from an acute attack of pneumonia,
which developed suddenly from a Sc
we're cold taken during a cunning ex-
pedition. He was seized with illness
while at Stroudsburg, from which place
he was brought to this city. The alarm
ing nature Of the attack was evident
on Sunday, since when he was con-
scious but brief part Of the time.
All efforts to check the rapid advance
Of the disease were futile and. sur
rounded by his family and closest rela-
tives, death put an end to the struggle
with the fearful malady.
Mr.. Connell was thirty-nine years old.
and was born in Minooka, his parents
removing to their present place of resi-
dence on Vine street when he was but
a little lad. From childhood he was n
favorite with friends and companions
for his many lovable qualities and ex-
ceptionally sunny and gentle tempera-
ment. Few men have been equipped
with a brighter intellect or a more
genial nature.
He Is survived by his wife and a son
of eight years, his father and mother
and by two sisters, Mrs. j. S. Nc
Annuity Mrs. C. w. Fulton, and five
brothers, James L., Charles r., Alfred
e., Theodore f. and Ezra II. Connell.
The funeral services will take place
tomorrow afternoon from his late resi-
dence on Vine street, when Rev. DR.. c.
M. Giftin, of Elm Park church, assisted
by Rev. DR.. W. II. Pearce, of Wilkes
Barre, will officiate.

PILLSBURY THE EXPERT.
Played Checkers and Chess at Y. M.
c. A. Rooms Yesterday After
noon and Evening.

Harry N. Pillsbury, the champion
CHESS player of the United States was
in town yesterday and gave exhibit
tions of his skill at the Young Mems
Christian association rooms in the af-
ternoon and evening.
Mr.. Pillsbury was brought to this
city by a number of enthusiastic local
chess players, including Prof. Friede-
wald and Schimpff, of the High school,
both of whom are clever players Mr..
Pillsbury is making a tour of the coun-
try under his own management and
will play this afternoon at Seneca
Falls, n. Y, Thursday at Syracuse,
and Friday and Saturday at Boston.
He is a young man of twenty-seven,
bat has been playing chess the last
ten years. In 1896 he played ShoWal-
ter who held the championship of the
United states up to that time, and de-
feated him, thus gaining the title. He
Is a candidate for the worlds cham
pionship. which is held by Lasker, and
will play him at Paris in 1900, when
he will enter the great tournament for
chess players from all over the world
in May and June.
Yesterday afternoon he played what
Is known as a "blindfold match" play
ing five games of chess and three of
checks at the same time with his back
to the players. They. Of course, would
announce their plays, but he never once
saw the boards. They began the
game about 3.15 and at o'clock every
checker-player was beaten and all Of
the chess players conquered except
Prof. Friedewald.
. The game was then called off be-
tween the two with the result a tic
Pillsbury is the only man in the coun-
try who plays double game Of Cncss
and checkers, and he can also play a
triple game by adding whist.
In the evening he played twelve
games, three Of checkers and nina of
chess with very successful results.
Among his opponents during the day
and evening were the best local chess
and checker players in the city, who
thronged to the rooms, attracted by
Pillsbury's fame. AS before mentioned,
| Pillsbury is young man and un-
doubtedly has a wonderful future be-
fore him in the chess arena. He
played his first games in Brooklyn,
where he was the champion checker
player Of a young mems club.
There is a general idea, also. that he
is the person who manipulated the
famous Iron man" in the Eden Mu-
see. This wonderful piece of mechan-
ism, as is known, was in the Musee for
many years and played checkers with
all corners, never being defeated.
Pillsbury is undoubtedly a great
| player and made a huge impression
on all who saw him manipulating the
| defeat he suffered took place in the
| evening and was inflicted by F. r.
| Welch, of Jermyn, at chess.
Next Tuesday evening meeting will
be held at the Young Mems Christian
associations rooms for the purpose of
| organizing a chess and checker club
| All local players are invited to attend.
Games will be arranged with teams
| from Wilkes-Bar and Tunkhannock,
and 1t is expected that great interest
will be taken in the movement.

BAUER's BAND CONCERT.
Fine Programme Well Rendered at
the LYceum Last Night.

Cne Lyceum Last Night.
Bauer's band should feel highly COM
plimented at the size and representa-
tive character of the audience which
assembled at the Lyceum last night to
hear its annual concert. and the audi
ence should be, and undoubtedly was,
highly gratified at the excellent show
ing which was made by our premier
local musical organization. 1t was the
general concensus Of opinion that the
band never played better. It is certain
II did itself and the city proud. The
programme was we'll balanced and en-
joyable throughout.
Every number on the programme
was encored, and two of the encore
numbers We're enthusiastically re-en-
cored. The regular numbers Of the first
part included the overture "Piuua
Dame" by Suppe scenes from Don't
zettfs "T.Jcia di Lammermoor" and
Mos7r rJWski's Aus Aller Hemen Lam
dern." a collection of characteristic
compositions of the German, Russian
and Spanish schools.
The pretty and popular classic. "Will-
lam Tell" was the opening number Of
the second part. A valse caprice,
Budding Roses" by Kretschner. was
one Of the sweetest numbers Of the
evening. The closing number was a
| descriptive piece, labeled "Village Life
in the Olden Times" introducing crow
ing cocks, changing of anvils. curfew
bells and a lot of other features.
The encores included Listen to the
, Faud," from 1.-THE Runaway Girl:"
| Victor Herbert's "Serenade March,"
Sousas STARS and Stripes" and its re-
arrangement, "The Paris Exposition
March,"
The lateral features of the pro-
gramme were by no means the least
interesting. Miss Susan Black, the
sweet soprano of the Second Presby-
terian church, delighted the audience
with two numbers. lie Printempts,' -
| by Tito Mattel, and "Sweetheart, Sigh
No More" by F. Lynes. In each in
stance the audience demanded more,
and for encores she rendered the pretty
love song, "Do You Love Me?" and IT
Will Not Tell"
| Prof. Tom Miles corneter, also rend-
cred two numbers in his usual excel
/ lent style, and was greeted with the
heartiest applause. A flute duet, by
Messrs. Bauschman and Ham, went to
/ prove what enhancing music can be
produced from these instruments. They
received one OF the most enthusiastic
| encores of the evening.
/ Tomorrow night the concert will be
repeated in Pittston.
