new EMPIRE THEATRE.

At Spe pretty new Empire Theatre this
week the attraction is "The Gunner's
Mate" IL is not a war play and is by
William j. McKiernan and Hugh J. Gal
lagher The most thrilling scenes are
supposed to take place on the man-of-war
New York.
1T is a play that appeals strongly to the
good part of an audience. Last evening
after every act the curtain had 60 be sent
up several times so well pleased was the
audience Many incidents OF life in the
navy are depicted.
The harsh monotonous actualities and
conventionalities of life were not allowed
TO interfere with the work of the makers
of the piece or those acting the various
characters. 1t is well that they are not,
else there would probably be no gunner's
mate on the stage TO please thousands of
people during the present week
There is a good comedy element In the
piece and there Is love and villainy in
plenty. The cast seems I'm nearly every in
stance TO have an adequate idea OF the
work required.
Some OF the scenery Is very good and
some of the climaxes are decidedly inter-
esting. The full effect of these was ap-
preciated and the favor of the audience
was most generously extended.
Clement Carroll is the gunner's mate
and he gives a careful presentation OF the
part. Harry Driscole, as DIR. Herbert
Quayley. does really good work as the
villain. Mr. Edward Powers and Miss
Louise j. Valentine gave some good
specialties.

stage portrayal. In manner and appear

FINEST NEW YORK PULPIT.


IFrom the New York Hera1d-1
All Angels Episcopal church, West
End avenue and Eighty-first street has
just acquired what is described az the
finest pulpit in America 1t is the work
of Karl Bitter, and was given to the
church by Mrs. Sarah Cornell in mem
ory of her husband and two sons. The
style of the pulpit is Italian renaissance.
changed slightly to conform with the In
terror of the church.
Standing against a column, the pillar
has for it's foundation a representation
of Moses with the tablets of law, and
corbels presenting the heads OF the
prophets, intended to. symbolic that the
gospel preached from the pulpit is
based upon the law and the prophets
A choir rail, which leads up to the
pulpit rail and surrounds the pulpit
itself, is decorated with a procession of
angels. Above the pulpit is a canopy of
oak, surmounted by an angelic figure
holding a trumpet, and forming an
apotheoSis of what is begun below in
the procession.
There has also just been used for the
first time in the same church an altar
and reredos, erected by members of the
Hoffman family in memory of the most
liberal patron of All Angels church. the
late Rev. DR. Charles F. Hoffman. The
altar is surmounted by canopy Of
brass, perhaps the only one of the kind
in this country. although such are com
mon in northern Italy. The new rec
tory of the parish, costing $50. 200, is al
most completed.

NISSLEY'S NEWsBOYS.
They Are Preparing For Annual
Thanksgiving Feast.

The newsboys are now anxiously
awaiting Thanksgiving. For on Thanks
giving they will sit down to the annual
feast which is prepared for them by j.
Z. Nissley.
Before the dinner and beginning at
1O:45, a programme in the nature of an
entertainment consisting Of music and
speaking will be given for them at the
tbs will speak to them and other features
of interest which have not yet been ar
ranged for will be given.
An admission of ten cents will be
charged to every one except neWsbOyS.
To the newsboy who sells the largest
number Of tickets Mr.. Nissley will give
a suit of clothes, an overcoat, and shoes.
To all others who sell 20 or more VIII be
given a suit of clothes. Last year Mr..
Nissley gave each of the newsboys a
suit outright. But this year he thought
it would be wise to let them earn it so
as to give them a feeling Of independ-
ence.
Last year Mr. Nissley offered the news
boy who had the largest bank account
prize of $25. As a result the newsbOyS.
of the city have banked over $500 during
the past year and quite an exhibition
of rivalry has been manifested in the
contest.
To all the boys who have saved at
least ten cents per week, Mr.. Nissley will
give them five cents for each week.
Mr.. Nissley will be out of the city for
the greater part Of the coming week but
the neWSbOyS may secure the tickets
from Robert McCabe in the office Of the
commissioner of elections. The boys will
begin their work of selling the tickets
at once and there will be a contest for
the overcoat and shoes which go with
the suit Of clothes to the one who sells
the highest number of tickets.
Mr.. Nissley has for a long time kept
up an organization of newsboys in this
city and he has come to be known as
the s'NeWsboys' Friend" He is prOba-
blV as popular with the neWsbOVS of this
city as is Col. Hoagland with the news
boys of the country.
