charge Of the stage door at night, af-
forwards being an usher for the very
remunerative salary of $3.50 per week.
Next he was a callboy and then a
prompter. finally being entrusted with
small parts in the productions of Mrs.
John Drew's company at the Arch
street theatre in Philadelphia, his
home. He soon became leading come
dian. That was in the old stock days"
and he played comedy roles in COM
panies in Philadelphia, New Orleans.
Cleveland, st. Louis and Chicago, in
company with Mrs. Drew, Barton Hill,
Fanny Davenport, Louis James, Stuart
Robson, Clara Maeder and other great
actors He became star in 1882,
when he produced Cheek in Chicago,
in which he made a big hit, playing it
for several seasons.
Success also attended his next play,
"Humbug' Then for awhile he dis
continued his starring tour to accept a
very fiattering offer to play Koko in
the original production of "Mikado" in
New York, giving what has been con-
sidered the best portrayal of the role
ever presented. though many brilliant
comedians have appeared in it, The
opera was only produced by this COM
pany in the larger cities.
Afterwards he resumed starring. re-
viving Cheek" and producing THE
Woman Halter, Lend lie Your Wife,
"The Club Friend" Innocent as a
Lamb" Dakota" and THE Politi-
cian.' Then he began with George H.
Broadhurst's THE Wrong Mr.. Wright"
and not only made reputation for that
very clever playwright, but also added
to his own popularity clientele which
he never, up to that time, had been
able to call his own.

HAVE YOU GOT A WHEEL?
The Herald Is Still Holding Good It's
Offer to the Boys and Girls.
DIR MODIFIED PLAN.

Probably fifty boys and girls in Salt
Lake alone have reported that they are
after one of The Herald's premium
Cleveland wheels-'99 pattern. All OF
them say they are going to get the en-
tire thirty subscribers before they re-.
port to the office, so they will have
what one bright yOungster very graph
ically described as a ''cinch" on the
wheel.
a number of the hustlers say they
would have no difficulty in getting the
subscribers if they did not have to ask
payment for the whole of the three
months in advance. To meet this diff
ficulty, The Herald viii make the offer
good and count every subscriber who
agrees to take the paper for three
months and pays one month in ad-
vance. The Herald viii take care OF
the collections for the remaining two
months.
With this modification it ought to be
no trouble at all for a wide-awake boy
or girl-Or older person either, for that
matter-tO earn one of the very best
wheels made, with very little time. The
offer applies to anybody in this state,
Idaho or Wyoming, and will hold good
as long as the wheel season lasts. If
the boys and girls who are after the
wheel wish suggestions as to how to
work, or need blanks, they can get
them at The Herald Office any day; or.
if out of town. a postal card addressed
to us will insure instructions by return
mail.

Another One On Nerve

The late Isaac Bromley, a noted edi-
torial writer on the New York Tribune,
was "cool, calm and collected" Sell
dom was he put into a place so tight
that his nerve" did not disclose an
open door. The New Haven Register
tells this story of the way he once
saved himself:
Bromley was lecturing before a To-
cal institute in Litchfield county. Conn.
upon a trip he had recently made to
California and the Yosemite valley.
and concluded with a beautiful de-
scription of the Bridal Veil Falls, which
so charm all who visit them.
AS he took his seat he was surprised
to see the gentleman who had presided
over the meeting step forward and
say, In accordance with our usual
ustom I'VE shall now be glad TO hear
any questions that the lecturer may
be desired to answer in relation to the
subject upon which he has been talk
ing"
At this tall, red-headed man rose
in the audience, and with a rasping
voice said: Il would like to ask the
lecturer the exact height of the Bridal
Veil.''
Bromley. who had expected nothing
of this kind. and was never strong in
figures, was entirely taken by surprise,
but gave no sign thereof as he rose
and advanced to the front of the plat
form and coolly answered, IT did not
measure them, but as nearly as ] can
remember, the exact height is three
hundred and sixty-one feet, nine and
one-half inches" No further questions
were asked.

Isl Perkins"

When, on next Thursday evening, at
the New Grand theatre, the Isl Per-
kins" symphony orchestra receives its
listen to one of the best musical or
CARNATIONS which has visited Salt Lake
in several years. The play itself is said
to be intensely interesting, and with
the addition of artistic music, a most
ENJOYABLE evening is promised to those
who secure seats. 1T is seldom that
any dramatic company carries two dis
tinct sets of musicians. The band,
which gives a laughable burlesque
street parade. is a decided novelty, and
is carried for the sole purpose of Gre
ating a stir among lovers of the play.
The perfect naturalness of the rural
drama. Isl Perkins" is one of it's prin-
cipal charms The company which
will present the play is the same which
for seven years has played the princi-
pal cities of the United States. Like
plays of familiar character. the prin-
cipal figure halls from New England.
Honest. shrewd, good-hearted and
chock full of humor. ST makes you
laugh one minute. and the next you are
fighting his battles for him and urging
him on TO quicker action in defeating
the stage villain, which, in good time,
he does. So much for the play. Sam
I Burton. who impersonateS 81 Per-
kins. is the creator of the part, and no
better delineator- of Yankee character
can be found on any stage, either in
this coul try or Europe, while Miss
Lille Coleman is a comedienne of rare
ability.
The piece runs for three nights, with
a Saturday matinee.

Golfers Weekly.)

Several years ago, before it became
the common lot of the baseball umpire
10 be assaulted and taken from the
grounds under the escort of the police
it is said that q man by the name OF
Halves, who had been at one time
change cat, Ter for the BOstOns, was
assigned by the secretary Of the league.
Mr.. Young, to umpire a game between
the Providence and Boston mines on the
Boston ball grounds. In the course Of
the game he made some decisions so
adverse to the BOstons that it was only
with difficulty and by the aid Of q cab
that he was finally rescued from the
Infatuated mob. This treatment was at
that time so unusual, and made such
an impression upon Mr.. Halves, that
when Secretary Young advised him, a
short time later. of his assignment to
another Boston game in
Boston. he replied BY the following
Geographic dispatch: 'I am no hog;
know when I have had enough"
And yet the game has been one, even
up TO the present day, where the charge
that has attended professional sport OF
other kinds-namely, that of dishon-
esty-has seldom found Judgement.
There have been some cases on record
of selling the results, but those cases
have been so few as to make it all the
more evident that in this respect the
sport has no doubtful record.
The bad odOr which attends the pro-
fessional game has had its material eff
feet upon the game in amateur hands,
and there is a distinct loss Of interest
noticeable in the amateur pursuit Of
the sport. 1t has become less the fash
ion, even at our universities, and while
the commencement day games still
draw the usual crowd, the smaller
games lack that patronage which they
used to secure, and the number of men
taking an active part in second mines
is growing less every year.
All this means that without reform
and serious reform, not reform on pa
per-the national game of America IS
going to disappear, or. rather, become
lost in the limbo of rowdyism. IF the
Erglishman can preserve his cricket
ard football through the trials of and
by che side of professionalism, it would
seem possible that the American game
might yet be saved from its impending
doom by the force Of administrative
ability when that ability has been set
to work with clean hands

brated Boston pianist, will also visit
as. The arrangements for Rosenthars
appearance have undergone a change,
and instead of coming to the Theatre
he viii be heard at the taberAcle-a bit
OF news which viii not be welcomed
by the musical community of Salt Lake
1t is hard to understand why the tab
ernacle is repeatedly chosen-chosen,
indeed, on almost every occasion of this
kind-when it has been proven so I'M
satisfactory. The big auditorium is an
admirable place for big choruses, brass
bands and massive effects, but it is alb
solutely unsuited for a piano recital.
The Paderewski concert a few years
ago was an experience which Should
have sufficed. Those who sat where
they could hear the forte passages to
good advantage, heard blurred and
lndlsunct pianiSsimo-when one can see
he cannot hear, and vice versa, and 10
place in the building is comfortable and
satisfactory for the whole evening
High-class concerts would undoubtedly
be much more popular in Salt Lake if
the Theatre was chosen. instead of the
tabernacle. And isn't it just as profit
able to have the Theatre packed, as it
is to have the same number of people
looking lost and lonesome in that vast
auditorium?
a genuine musical treat in store for
us in the near future is the Orpheus
club concert next month with the Knei-
sci quartette. This famous organiza-
ton has been in New York almost the
entire winter, and has been an import
ant part of the musical season. The
Kneisels are considered by all critics
to be above criticism, and stand at the
very head of their line in this country.
Salt Lake is very grateful to the Or
nh a1F
our musical benefit. and this last con-
cert will form a splendid close to this
season, and its memory will be an en-
couragement for next years work.

Apropos Of our recent taste of the
American dramatst at his worst, it is
interesting to note that nearly all of
this seasons successes are from for
eign sources. 1t seems to be q fact
that We have actors who are good
enough to require the best material,
and that we have not enough success
full American dramausts to supply the
demand The present theatrical year
affords many examples. The Lyceum
Stock company of New York, after a
most successful season in .'TrelaWney
OF the Wells by Arthur w PinerO,
tried a play by two American women,
and it failed. The season of the COM
pany closed with this, to make room for
James X. Hackett in Anthony Hopes
play. James a. Herne produced The
Rev. Griffith Davenport" a play of his
own making, and While the critics COM
mended its serious purpose and literary
merit. the ail-important public was not
pleased. -Zaza," the sensation of the
season, is taken from the French, as
is also Annie Russell's great success,
Catherine Because She Loved Him
So. bearing the name Of William Gil
lette, was adapted by him from the
French. Lord and Lady Algy." at the
Empire theatre, and The Great Ruby
at Days are English plays. The fact
remains that most Of the American
plays produced this year have been con
spicuous failures. l might mention
other notable successes-"The Little
Minister The Christian" and "Cyra-
no de Bergerac'-al foreign. Nat
Goodwin's play. Nathan Hale" by
Clyde Fitch, seems to be the single eX-
captiOn needed to prove the argument.
Only two of our American plays have
been considered worthy Of a London
production-'Seeret Service" ana The
Heart Of Maryland Bronson Howard
our other dramaust Who was at the top
