had broken out. Two men have been
attacked. These first victims circulated
about the camp in a manner that may

The disease is just as mild in Buffalo as
it was here during the season of mild
climate in this valley. This mild small

STORIES OF THE STAGE.

There are few women in the dra-
matte profession who have had the op-
portunities to play the number of lead
ing parts in modern drama that have
fallen,'to the lot of Henrietta Crosman.
Miss Crosman won her place in the
hearts OF the American theater goers
by her performance in "Gloriana, -
which, it will be remembered, was
produced some seasons ago under the
Frohman management. Her success
was instantaneous, and her perform
ance stamped her as a comedienne of
the highest class.
The actress is the daughter OF a re-
tired army officer, and most of her
young life was spent at the frontier
posts. A strange thing connected with
Miss Crosman's early life is the anti
pathy which her father had for the
dramatic profession. When at board
ing school, she was not even permitted
to recite the most harmless poem. Her
father left the army, reverses came,
and the daughter was forced to do
something for livelihood.
Just why she turned to the stage the
lady admits herself that she DOES not
know. Still, she did, and, securing :

suffers prick OF conscience and de-
clares that her place is at her hts

The third act shows the Office OF the
works transformed into a sort OF hos
pital depot for the benefit OF the fever
patients. John and Anne are working
together tremendously, but there has
been no talk of love. Finally, when
the husband is asked to roll up mis-
wife's sleeves, wave of affection over
comes him, and she, carried away by
the outburst for which she has secret
ly been hoping. throws her arms about
his neck, and the plays logical end ID
reached. The actual end is, however,
not arrived at until after another act.
There is shortly to be revival OF
"Adonis," that peculiar connection
which was at one time thought to be
possessed of eternal life. 1t made
Henry E. Dixey, and never since ne
shelved it has he been SO popular Win
the masses of theatre goers, altnougn
he has done much better work tnan
it was possible to do in such an aD-
surdity as "Adonis. There is every
reason to look with misgiving upon
revival of this peculiar play. There
was such a revival a few years ago,
and my impression is that 1t was
about as unmistakable failure as one
ever encountered, The announcement
is made that Miss Amelia Summerville,
the original merry little mountain
maid. is to have her old part in the
revival. That is intended to add an
element Of strength, and perhaps II
will, but If any man goes to the new
"Adonis" in the expectation OF see
ing the merry little mountain maid
Of yore he is doomed to deep, dark and
rank disappointment. The once bux-
ON Amelia is now as hssom as a ga

as that statement may sound to her,

times better actress she is

On nsxt Thursday night Wheeling
theatregoers viii have an opportunity
to witness one Of the most charming
comedies ever put upon the stage. The
Players on that evening will present
A. w. Pinero's charming three-act
drama entitled Sweet Lavender, a
play that has met with much success,
having had a run of 500 performances
In London and one entire season at the
Lyceum Theatre in New York. This
will be the first presentation Of the
play in this city, and in such capable
hands as The Players the play will be
staged and acted with truth Of detail
second only to the productions above
mentioned. The Players have the use
OF the original prompt book at great
expense, assuring the people Of Wheel
ing dramatic treat. The rehearsais
have been progressing for some time
and so satisfactory that it is safe to
say that it will be the most preten-
tiOus as well as the most meritorious
performance ever given by The Play
ers. The play itself is most charm
ing, sweet and chaste production, and
is now being revived in London, the
following Of which is taken from the
st. James Budget of February 17tn:
The promised revival of Sweet
Lavender at its original home, Terry's
Theatre, next Thursday evening, has
excited SO much interest among play
goers that already it has been found
necessary to open the box-0fice in or
der to meet the demands made upon
it. That Mr.. Pinero's charming COM
edy will reassert it's old influence over
the public is hardly doubtful; the cir
cumstance, should it fail to do SO, will
certainly be to the discredit of those
who can fail to appreciate so delighN-
full and inspiriting piece of work. =
Then follows the cast, which will be
given in this city by the strongest
members of The Players specially Sc
lected for their various parts.
The popularity of "The cessna" is
such and the pronounced success that
it has made in London and New York
city easily places it at the head of all
operas. The music throughout is Of
the most pleasing nature and the songs
very catchy. Miss Helen ROyton, in
the role of 20 Mimosa San," wins the
the highest praise not only for her ex-
cellent singing, but graceful acting.
Her rendering of THE Amorous Gold
fish" and 1.-THE Jewel OF Asia" leaves
nothing to be desired. Miss Minnie
Ashley. as "Mollie Seamore," is viva
cious and pleasing, and sings exceed
ing well. Alexia Bassian, as ''Juliette, !"

HOW KEENE BECAME A STAR

did you ever hear the story Of how
Tom Keene happened to starr" asked
Charles B. Hanford, of the MacLean-
Tyler anford company Of party as a
member of the old California stock
company in which were not only Ed
win Booth and Lawrence Barrett, but
many other men of note. Mr.. Keene's
work had been very successful, and for
this or some other reason Mr.. Barrett
and he were not on the best of terms.
The feeling ran pretty high until the
year of the great international Shakes
perean festival, when actors from all
parts of the country enlisted to play
with the combination formed.
"Mr. Barrett had begun series of
stellar appearances in Chicago, but he
left to join the company. One night
he was taken i'll, and Mr.. Keene was
assigned to his role. Upon hearing Of
this the sick man rose from his bed,
dressed and went to the theater, declar-
ing that no such .illiterate buffoon
should read his lines
"Mr. Keene felt the slight and after
the engagement was over determined
upon reminding his enemy of it. He
organized a support OF his own and
opened in Chicago at a rival house,
beating Mr.. Barrett's business by sew
eral hundred dollars week"
