making a strong bid for the top seat.
1t has been freshened, rejuvenated. and
rendered up to date, and yet retains all
the hilarity and highly meritorious fea-
lures which originally attracted theater
goers OF all classes. For its new pro-
duction a notable company of eminent
and versatile entertainers has been Sc
cured. In plot. episodes and dialogue.
THE Hustler" is a perfect specimen of
that sort of entertainment which Is made
for laughing purposes only" The de-
lineatfon of the hard-up individual who
strives TO hustle other peoples money
into his own pockets and TO hustle out
OF paying his own bills is in itself as
amusing conceit as the farce comedy
stage can offer. The incidents that grow
out Of the hustler's impecunioSity and
his wild projects are OF the most ludicrous
sort, and the. characters are as drou as it
is possible TO oppose. In its newest re-
vised shape this rafting entertainment
is said to be more effective than ever be-
fore. Its specialties this season are new,
and glance at the list of the company
promises that they are OF the NEST d.
verting order. AT the Crawford theater
Friday night.

MUSIC AND ORA VA.

Encouraged by his success last spring
| in the "Musketeers,' Paul Gilmore has
prepared for his present tour lavish
production Of Dumas most popular story,
which is known in book form as THE
| Three Guardsmen." For the past three
| months carpenters, scenic artists, costum-
ers and property men have been steadily
at work building this massive production.
There are five acts to Mr.. Gilmore's YER
sion and one scene to each act: First,
Kings Garden of the Louvre an eX-
act reproduction; second "Bonacieus
House. D'Artagnan's lodgings; third,
1.-THE Inn at Calias," painted from
sketch sent to Mr.. Gilmore from Calias;
fourth, 1.-The aGrden of the Louvre by
Moonlight" an ideal setting with its
faithful detail of misty perspective, ivy
grown walls and ci1ain-rattling draw
bridges, in fact, a more picturesque and
fascinating stage setting would be hard
to find. The entire fifth act, THE Royal
Palace and State Ball. was produced in
Germany and is Said to be historically
correct. The Matinee Girl of the Bos-
ton Traveller, says Of this act: Each
time the curtain fell I said to myself,
Now here is where I make an exit! but
bless me! could not bulge an inch.
found had taken root there. And 1 was
thanking my lucky stars afterwards. for
I would not have missed that ballroom
scene for anything. Tapestry is weak
ness of mine and so was tickled half to
pieces with that superb stage setting in
the last act" The costumes are magnif-
ceas and historically correct. 1t takes
two 60-foot cars to transport the scenery
and wardrobe, which has cost Mr.. Gilmore
$4,000 At the Crawford Thursday next.
The bill offered at the Crawford soon
will be Oliver SCOTS Big Minstrel Car
n:val. Their entertainment appeals to all
classes, and is entirely free from all OBJ
jectionable features. It is of a refined
nature and has captivated all classes of
people, no inter whether regular theater
goers or not. 1t is an entertainment that
al! classes can visit with propriety. Every
performer connected with the entertain
nent is colored, gathered up from ali sec
lions of the world. aMny of the features
and specialties introduced win outrival
those of their white brothers. This COM
pany was originally known as the Al. G.
Field Real Negro Minstrels. but was pur-
chased last season by Mr.. Fields part
ner, Mr.. Oliver Scott, who viii conduct
i1t in the future under his own name.
Mr.. SCOTS long experience in the min
strel business, and the high-class enter
comments he has always given US in the
past, is a guarantee that this one will out
rival anything he has heretofore brought
us.

PERSPECTIVE.
property.

The design accompanying this art1-
Gle is a happy combination of all these
features and by reference to the floor
plans one finds an exceptionally we'll
designed home The style OF architec-
ture is somewhat on the order of
Queen Anne, and from its exterior it
would seem to be a house for one fam
lily, but you will note that there is an
entrance on the right to the first fat;
and on the left to the second fiat, by
flight of inside stairs. The back stair
way gives entrance to both flats and
on the second floor you will note a
stairway going up to the third floor,
where there may be four rooms finished
off for sleeping rooms in addition to
the bed rooms in each fiat. The rooms
are all fairly good sized and plenty of
closet space throughout the house, the
smaller closets averaging 9 square feet,
and the large Il square feet of storage
space. The bed rooms are planned to ac-
commodate beds of any description
without obstructing any exits or en-
frances to the rooms.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN.

Both the parlor and the dining room
have an attractive outlook from the
bay windows. The first fiat has
commodious veranda and the second a
balcony. Bath rooms are fitted I'D
with full plumbing fixtures, all of them
open style, so as to prevent any ac-
emulation of dirt, water bugs, etc,
and further foul air would occur if en-
closed. The house is heated through
out with a furnace; steam heat or hot
water may be used if desired, though il
would be a little more expensive as a
first cost. All the woodwork is of first
quality white wood which should be
treated by stain as the wood is soft
end absorbs the stain thoroughly and
can be brought to a high finish very
easily.
The house as designed has an attic
floored for storage purposes, but two
large rooms could be finished off as
we'll as two smaller ones if desired, as
spoken of in a former paragraph of
this article. We give herewith a tech
nical description of the house:
General dimensions: Width. through
bedroom and dining room, 26 feet 2
inches; depth, including parlor bay, As
feet 6 inches. Height of stories: Gel
lar feet; first story, feet; second
story 9 feet; attic feet. Exterior ma
terials: Foundation, brick; first story.
clapboards; second story, gables and
roof, shingles.
Interior Finish: Two coat plaster,
hard white finish. Plaster cornices and
centres in parlors, dining rooms and
halls. Trim and floors throughout,

been confined mainly to the coast
towns, and is not heard of in the in
terror towns of high altitude 1t is
we'll to remember, however, that yellow
fever is disease of night, and that by
taking the precaution of not going out
until after the sun is well up in the
morning, and being in the house when
the shades Of evening fall, and living in
upper story rooms, if possible, one runs
little risk of being smitten by this dread
disease. Yet no rule holds good dur
ing an epidemic. and avoidance Of the
feyer-infected districts is the only safe
recourse. Always keep away from Sec
tons of a coast town in the tropics
where the poor, degraded and vicious
live; keep the rprson clean, change the
clothing often, and live among cleanly

Within the last few years there has
been a growing demand for two family
houses, one family to occupy each floor,
with separate entrances to their re-
spective rooms, each sharing, however,
two or more rooms on a third floor, or
attic. The house must have an exter-
ior which presents an appearance like
a single dwelling and must not look
like a double house in order that the
building may be erected on restricted
property.

where vegetation grows rank and lax
