DE WOLF HOPPER LAST NIGHT.

The Big Comedian Makes a Hit With The
Charlatan."
One of the largest and most brilliant
audiences of the season greeted De Wolf
Hopper at the Academy of Music, where
he appeared in his big production Of
Sousas opera, THE Charlatan.
The big comedian last appeared here
in Wang" some two or three years ago,
and last night everybody felt as if they
knew him personally and gave him a
rousing welcome.
THE Charlatan" is not up to the
standard Of "El Captain" nor is it near
SO good as Wang" either from a musical
or comedy standpoint, still it affords an
excellent evenings entertainment, inter
preted by Hopper and his associates.
OF course the whole affair revolves
around Hopper. In the title role he has
a part which affords him ample oppor-
tunity to get gay" and he never misses
any tricks in his business. He fully
sustained his reputation last night, as
one of the funniest men on the comic
opera stage
Hopper's chief assistant this season is
Miss Jessie Mackaye, who is just about
the neatest, daintiest and withal the most
charming little bundle of feminine love

takes clever actress to share the honors
of performance with DeWolf Hopper,
and that is what Miss Mackaye did

DELEGATES ARE HAPPY.
As delegates and leaders appeared :n
the hotel lobbies this morning they shook
hands and congratulated each other axe
gladiators after a hard-fought battle and
all agreed that nothing remained but for
the convention formally TO carry out what
had already been registered as its un-
mistakable will. At their breakfasts the
delegates read from the morning papers
the various interpretations OF how the
end had been brought about. some as
serting that Mr.. Hanna had been forced
slowly and surely to complete surrender.
after finding that the name of neither
Long nor Dolliver had the magic TO coun-
teract the Roosevelt tidal wave, while
the other view. equally positive, main
the situation throughout. and as a sort
OF arbitrator had finally reconCiled all
conflicting interests and brought accord
out OF chaos. But while men differed on
who did II. they all agreed that 1t was
done. and when the inner history is writ
ten it probably Will show that It was not
the leaders, but the irresistible force Of
ovents-the voice Of the muItitude-which
worked these results.
The programme today Is the most at
tractive one OF the session, with the NOM
mating speeches and the two nomina-
tons by acclamation. The convention
gets under way at an early hour-l0
o'cloCk-so that definite results may be
expected at a comparatively early hour.
The early start put the convention crowds
In motion at an early hour. and there
was a renewal OF the hustle and ex-
citcment Of the last few days in and
about the convention hall.
