stader.
A goodly portion of Washington took its
annual journey TO Burntcorkdom last even
ing. the New National serving as the We
hicle, while Primrose and Dockstader per
sonally conducted the outing. 1t was a
typical pleasure party, such a one as has
ofttimes greeted the projectors and chief
entertainers Of the trip. There were laugh
ter and music and song and dancing and
all else that goes to make an evening en-
ioyable, SO 1t was little wonder that the
large audience expressed its satisfaction
with bursts OF applause for the merits of
the principal performers and their assist
ants.
There is little new in a minstrel show
Novelty is not desired and the lcng
standing verdict of the American public
to whom the case has been many time Q
submitted. is for black-faced m.nstr ,lsy,
the charmed half circle, the bones and
tambos. and accompanying witticisms ami
vocalism. To those demanding this, the
Offering of last evening satisfied every re-
quirement. The first part is well staged
in a new setting of gold and purple, the
costumes of the forty performers and
musicians being in perfect harmony. The
vocal corps accompanying Primrose and
Dcckstader is Of average ability. and til Z,
songs mostly new and we'll rendered. In
the entertainment furnished by the first
edition of end men, there is not an an
Gent joke. while those of the premiers
are fresh and up-to- date in every parttc-
ular. Both Mr.. Primrose and Mr. Dock
stader received ovations last evening, ami
although they were scheduled in large let
tiers for solo appearances in the clio, the
public demand was satisfied by responses
to many encores. Others especiaily cap
able in the first part were Neil OBrien,
Larry Dooley, and Charles Kent, their
merit being in the order named.
The olio OF five numbers is probably the
best ever seen In minstrelsy on a local
stage. Dockstader is particularly funny
in new assortment of quips and witt
cisms of political turn. some Of the
hits being exceedingly keen and elicitia :

William Golfers new play may be ION
the Quiet" so far as the title is con-
cerned, but as presented at the Columbia
Theatre last night in the presence of a
large gathering. it proved to be rip
roaring, bowling success. Neither was
there anything quiet about the audience
which was unusually demonstrative in its
evidences of appreciation of the smart
lines of the piece and the excellent work
of Mr.. Collier and the other members of
the cast. Augustus Thomas may have
written plays that will bring him more
fame than will ''0n the Quiet" but he has
never exhibited more brightness and MIN
bic wit than in his latest product
The story of ''On the Quiet" in brief,
concerns the love affair of Robert Ridg-
way with the daughter of a wealthy New
York family. The will of the deceased
father of the girl DEGREES that the elder
brother shall regulate the matrimonial
alliances of his sisters, and as he has
married one of the girls to an English
ing in mind another international mar
riage. He endeavors to break off the i'm
pending match by imposing impossible
conditions-the penalty being the loss Of
the family inheritance-but Ridgway and
the young girl forestall any such action
by being married "0n the Quiet Ridg-
way then goes to Yale to fulfill one of the
conditions exacted by the brother. but the
intended secrecy of the wedding is made
impossible by the accidental loss Of the
marriage certificate, and its being found
by a Matchmaking -bookmaker." while
still worse complications are added ny
| the young brides visit to her newly made
| husband, in her anxiety to recover the
| missing certificate. With characteristic
| feminine thoughtlessness. she makes her
| trip mysterious disappearance" which
not only brings all her family, but the
| police and a horde of newspaper report
| ers on the trail. The brother supposes
his sister compromised, not knowing CT
the marriage. This is all brought about
| on Ridgway's yacht, where everyone
meets, owing to the vessel becoming be-
| Gained in fog, and it is here that the
| fun is most entertaining. Of course, there
is the usual happy ending on the final cur
| tain.
! Mr.. Collier has never done anything bet
| ter than in On the Quiet" and the au-
| dience last night could not have enough OF
him. although he was on the stage almost
continually. His support includes Louise
Allen Collier. who. as the young heiress,
does some splendid work. Katherine Null
| kins. known locally by reason Of her for
| mer appearances with MI. Collier. and in
the Broadhurst plays. is delightful little
woman who acts intelligently and reads
/ her lines with rare clearness. Cranley
| Douglas portraiture CT an English aristo-
| crat is exceedingly well drawn, and John
Saviles Judge Ridgway is admirable. The
other members of the cast are excellent.

Burglary mt tn. swift Beef House.

The Office of the Swift Beef company
near the railroad station was broken into
Saturday night and quantity of dressed
beef was taken. The burglars gained en-
trance by breaking out a window on the
south end of the building. They crawled
through the window into the room where
the cash drawer is, and made an attempt
to open the drawer, but were unsuccessful.
They were apparently inexperienced at
safe breaking as their only tool was Jack
knife, and a part of one of the blades was
found wedged in at one side of the drawer.
The intruders then went into the refrigera-
torroom, taking away large piece of dress
ed beef. Some other articles were laid out
with a view to carrying them off, but for
some reason they were left behind. which
would indicate that the burglars were
frightened away. The burglary was dis
covered Sunday morning.

Trains.

In addition to the several splendid for
eign exhibits of cattle and horses previous
ly mentioned as engaged for the Greenfield
fair, Sept. 10 and 20, there have been
shown great activities in getting special
attractions. They are to have real os-
trich trot in sulky, which is said to have
made an exhibition mile in 222 at the
Omaha Exposition. Stage performances
will be continuous, one feature of which is
a troup of trained goats which will be very
funny. The coaching parade comes Thurs
day morning, the last day. Reduced rates
both days, and a special train from this
town the last day in time for the parade.
1t would seem that Greenfield is not in
tending to be out-done this year.

HOyVs ga Bras. Monkey" sept. II.

Charles H. Hoyt's revival of his most
popular and successful farce, "a Brass
Monkey" is attracting more attention this
season than many new productions. 1t is
the best thing he ever wrote and was tre-
mendously successful when it was first
staged several years ago. 1t is one of the
few farces that have the record of an en-
tire seasons run in New York. When
produced at the Bijou Theatre it contin-
ued there Al weeks to capacity receipts.
1t was kept on the road two seasons after
that, playing only in the principal cities.
1t was then withdrawn, it requiring such
a large equipment of scenery and mechan-
ical effects and so numerous a company
that it was not then deemed advisable to
attempt to present it in the smaller places.
The improvement in the financial condi-
tion of the country which have occurred
since the piece was withdrawn has changed
the aspect of things considerably, and Mr..
Hoyts elaborate revival will be seen in
many places this year in which it has not
heretofore played. The theatre patrons of
Brattleboro will have an opportunity of
witnessing 1t for the first time at the Audi
forum Sept. IL.
