A Novel Entertainment.

The Floyd Bower combination at Music
Hall next Tuesday evening promises to
be one OF the most varied and enjoyable
entertainments ever given here. Prof.
Floyd is wonderful magician and his
wife's memory feats have astonished
people all over the country. They have
been in great demand in city theatres
and their magic and work in telepathy is
something wonderful. Harry Bower is
the greatest xylophone player in America
and Ida Wiggins- Bower plays the piano.
This is popular entertainment at popu-
lar prices and ought to crowd the house.
OF the Floyds the Lewiston Journal
saws: "His tricks and illusions were
original, and again and again he proved
the truth of what he said in his introduc
tory words: 1 want you to watch me
closely; in fact. the more closely yor
watch me the less you will detect Mrs
Floyd, attired in lemon silk, BLACK
stripe, foot ruffle with bands of velvet
ch ffon, and diamonds, made an attract
i've rival of Prof. Floyd. Her marvellous
power OF memory repeatedly astonishet
ALL"
OF the xylophone artist the Bostol
Globe says: "Mr. Bowers own compo
sition, The Electric Polka was playe'
by him upon the xylophone to great ac
ceptance, the piece being brilliant an
snowy in the extreme. The audienc
had enshrined Mr.. Bower in their inmos
hearts, and refused to be quiet until
had answered four recalls.'

Mrs. c. W. Jenkins, died at his home on
Railroad street at three o'clock Monday
morning. His death was the result OF a
fall which he sustained Sunday afternoon.
He fell down a flight Of stairs and struck
his head with such force that it caused a
ruptured blood vessel at the base of his
brain. The sad accident occurred at
three clock and although every effort
was made to save the young life, the
injury was so severe that recovery was
impossible Curtis was an exceedingly
bright and attractive boy and great
favorite with all who knew him. Mr..

bereavement. The funeral will be held

with his parents to this town which was
his home until about three years ago
when they went to Flushing. Before
leaving here he was a student at the
Academy and continued his studies for
some time, but failing health compelled
him to give up all work and tor the past
er from a malady of the heart, which
was finally the cause Of his death, Fun
eral services were held at Flushing.
| AS the majority of his boyhood years
were spent in st. Jobnsbury, Mr. Nelson
was well known here, and had many
friends, both among the young people
and older ones who remember him as a
quiet gentlemanly boy, and sincerely
mourn his early death. DR.. aud Mrs.
Nelson will have the deep sympathy oil
many trends in this section OF Vermont
in their sad bereavement.

aity, for in each of the portraits of her
there is a striking resemblance in line, feature
and expression. 1t is pity that not of the
seven is really great work, and is forced
TO the conclusion that thoroughly satisfactory
portrait of the great actress has yet to be
painted. The portrait by La Gandara in dark
tones with long, willUwy lines has grace and
distinction; the brightly coored portrait by
Chartran, painted in New York is pleasing and
truthful, and 50. also, is the strongly drawn
pastel portrait by Axcnty. large sombre
canvas by Humphrey-Johnston represents Sarah
In black armor as Lorenzaccio. There is an in
terestlng portrait of Sarah painted by herself,
walking by the seaside holding red sunshade
One of the gems of the collection is a small
painting by Dagnan- Bouveret representing Nine
Bartet, of the Coincide FRANCHISE sea ted in a
balcony 1t is twilight. There is a glimpse of
the Seine. the towers of NOtre Dame. the spire
OF the Sainte Chapelle, the Point Neuf with its
double rows of gasghts, and the grecnish blue
evening sky The actress Il purple dress
ing gown. In tn" right hand is a book from
which are raised the familiar mirthfuI eyes
GourtolS SHOWS HaTtet in quite another vein,
wearing a pink and apple green Louis XVI dress
and powdered hair There is good portrait OF
Nine. Reichcnberg as Ophelia by Levy Dhur-
mer There Is a life size Jeanne Granier by
Muraton. in the becoming blue and silver cos

ing pastels of Mile. Henriot, the beautiful voung
actress of the Theatre Francais, who persisted in
the fire that destroyed the theatre last March
PORTRAITS OF NINE RACHEL BOYER
There are three excellent portraits of Nine.
Rachel Boyer. of the Coincide Francaise, whose
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-11-04

Mounet-Sully is shown in seven portraits, in
three of them Hamlet The most truthful of
them is by Chartran The others are by
Carolus- Duran, Jean Paul Laurens and Nine
kasak. OF the ten portraits of Coquclin cadet
the one by Dagnan- BouVeret representing the
actor in a gray morning suit, Ioungng in
familiar attitude. is admirable and truthful
piece of work. There other good lkenesSes
of Coquen cadet 10y Friant. Madeleine Lee
marie and Meunier. There is some brilliant
coloring by Gabrie! Terrier in his portrait of
Albert Lambert, of the Coincide FRANCHISE, in
the character of Severe Torelli.
Perhaps the most unexpected revelation in
the collection is a portrait painted by Corot
of LeOnide Leblanc, formerly of the Theatre
Francois, who during the Second Empire be
came one of the regning beauties of the day.
The picture is the property of Mime. Marchesi.
and has never before been exhibited ConSd-
cradle surprise is expressed at Corots choice
of such model, rather of Leonide Leblanc's
choice of such painter The actress stands
in a park wearing black gown with a Grim
son carnation in the bodice There is a de
licious little landscape. with river and a boat
in the background and the autumn foliage OF
the tr, es and shrubs is treated with Corot's
characteristic delicacy.
REJANE, MARS, LEMAITRE AND OTHERS.
Carolus-D uran's portrait of Mile. Crozette. of
the COmfdie FRANCHISE is a piece of portraiture
in the masters earlier and better style Cro-
zette is in black riding habit and silk hat
and wears a crimson flower in her buttonhole
There is a clever head of Rejane by Besnard
which served as a study for the portrait of that
actress at the Worlds Fair.
There are two admirable portraits OF the late
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-11-04

beautiful features and proportions in the purest
Greco Roman type present fascinating subject
for decorative painting. One of these portraits
Is by Benjamin Constant, who presents the
actress in rich purple mantle, trimmed with
silver sable, opening upon pale green bodice
There is a prOfuson of jewels and almost i'm
periaI luxury of millinery. The head and Shout
ders boldly outlined against a green sky
and clusters of purple chrysanthemuns. Boutet
de Monvel has painted Nine. Rachel Boyer as
Diana the Huntress. The coal black hair and
eyes and the tawny leopard skin contrast effect
lively with the delicate flesh tins. The portrait
is painted upon large white Louis XVI deco
rative panel. The third portrait of Nine. Rachel
Boyer is in pastel by Nine. Claude Marlef, and
represents the actress Francsquine in the
Femme de Tabarin." 1t is a clever. animated
piece of work, worthy of attention
Perhaps the most pleasing portrait in the col
lection is full length. life size, pastel portrait
of Jane Hading, also by Nine. Claude Marlef.
1t is in white. pale pnks and straw yellows,
and is distinguished by grace of drawing and
vivacty of expression. 1t is exQuisitely
feminine portrait of painted by a
woman.

fe!dt and Detaire Detatlle has painted Coquelin
In the part of Fanfan La Tulipe, mounted on a
prancing gray charger, and attired in superb
scarlet and blue dragon uniform sparkling
with silver lace. Picard shows Coquelin as Ma
pcleon in Plus Que Refine" and also in the
scmbre armor of Duguesclin. Madrazzo pre-
scCts him as Don Cesar de Bazan, and has
hGpptly fixed n small canvas the true swash-

lii of life and color Dagnan- Bouveret paints
hila as La Bussiere in "Thermidor." There is
c,eyerly modelled bust of Coqueiin by Puech,
VINO like Madrazzo, has chosen Don Cesar as
Tie typical character of the versatile comedian.
There is a finely chiselcd silver statuette of
Cuquelin Cyrano by Nine. Marie CAIN and
:: fairly good medallion profile by Michel Cain.
In the entire collection of Coque!in portraits there
is not a single bust that shows the
man in everyday life. Each represents differ

would have difficulty in determining Coquelns

debut this year at the Theatre Francais. The
portraits are exceedingly graceful in execution

portrait of Mime. Roger Miclos-a large dark
canvas with rays Of mellow light. Mime Mar

the Theatre Fran;ais, and now Editor Of the

sented in a fine full length portrait by Jules
Cayron. Mime. Durand is standing in a garden
