WILL BRING SUIT.
Ex-Deputy Collector McCrilI;s
Is Thoroughly Mad.
Will, Today. Sue Collector Gill for
Defamation of Character.
REITERATES THE.
CHARGES ALREADY MADE.

Lawrence. Mass, NOV. 81 shall
bring suit against collector Gill tomor-
row. ana shall attach his property fo1.
$4,000 for defamation of character"
said Ransom r. McchiiliS, late deputy
collector of internal revenue, today.
My character has been wickedly ana
causelesSly aspersed. Up To today,
have not been notified By the collector
of single instance where my accounts
were short. AS God is my witness do
not know Wherc | have caused the
government the loss of single cent.
Why. if ] had been crooked, did not
Mr.. Gill have me arrested? defy him
to arrest me. for a trial would prove
my complete eXoneration.'
The general opinion here is that Mr..
McCrillis has been harshly treated ANA
that if he has made mistakes he has
erred through being too lenient with
the governments creditors.
However, if all the charges made by
Collector Gill have no more foundation
than that of the HaVerhill case cited
~ him. then there is a complete vim
dication for Mr.. McCrillis in sight. The
story told was that a woman who kept
q lodging house on Essex street.
Haverhill. was fined for Illegal sale Of
liquors. that McCrillis called on her
and demanded SIS for the government.
but finally accepted $50 and the woman
heard no more of the case.
According 10 McCrillis' story he col
lected $50. when he went for the bal
ance. $3.50. h was locked in 4 room
in the womans house and the return
OF the money demanded. McCrillis
broke down the door and made his cs-
cape The outcome of the investigation
was the disclosure Of a nefarious at

The first person called on in Harer-

&C a LII good things come to him
IA who waits" may or may not

changed the old proverb to read him

Chicago waited patiently for the
good things Of the stage In which
New York was reveling during the
early part Of the season, and her watt
ing was not in vain. To-day Chicago
and other western cities are enjoying
the luxuries of the stage, while
Gotham must put up with the lesser
lights of the theatrical world.
1t may be that this playing second
place to Gotham by the western cities
is not an unmitigated evil. Expert
ence makes perfect" on the stage as in
anything else, and several of the lead
ing plays of the winter have come
west after long runs in New York in
much improved forms and with we'll
strengthened casts.
Chicago, for instance, did not have
to humor Mrs. Langtry's social aspira-
tions, They had been so well squelched
by the social lights of New York and
Philadelphia that by the time ''The
Degenerates" and Mrs. Langtry
reached Chicago the lady was quite
willing to devote all Of her attention
to her art, and under those conditions
the play was certainly improved No
onH who has ever seen "The Degen-
crates" could possibly imagine that
such a play and society would mix
well. It matters not whether the play
is truthful portrayal of society or
not, the fact remains that society
does not like to be presented to the

and every one can all act and sing be-
sides. The women are equally attract
i've and successful, and since the fnales
OF two of the acts were written for
concerted singing the abilities of the
choristers are proved nightly"
New York is seeing all manner OF
minor attractions these days of Lent.
Some are new, some are old, some have
never before been presented in New
York but have had long runs on the
road of the one-night stand character,
and some have been seen season after
season in Gotham. Among the new
ones to Gotham may be mentioned
''The Pride of Jennico." ''The Carpet
bagger," Madame Butterfly" and
Mrs. b. O'Shaughnessey, Wash Lady"
The first of these is a stirring love
tale with the usual tragic features and
happy ending. 1t is one of the class
of plays that never appear long at
any one place and the world is none
the worse when they disappear.
The Carpetbagger" is one of Opie
Reads southern stories dramatized.
It had quite a run on the road before
reaching New York, and may be said
to be the best of the four, unless an
exception be made in favor of Madame
Butterfly"
This piece has a pretty Japanese
setting, in which an officer of the
United States navy figures prominent
ly, though not very gracefully. 1t is
a piece that calls for considerable tai
ent TO make it presentable, and il is
only justice to say that Blanch Bates
is giving it careful handling.
OF the last one nothing need be said.
It's name portrays it as an Irish farce
of the broades. kind.

public in that form. But Chicago saw
the strongest possible production of a
very questionable play, and if it is
acting rather than morals that at
tract audiences, Mrs. Langtry is GER
tainly entitled to the success she is
achieving.
To say that either Irving or Miss
Terry presented the theater-going
people of Chicago with better pro-
duction than they gave their New
York audiences would be, untrue, but
1 do not consider it untrue to say
that their company improved with the
additional practice. Young Lawrence
Irving, for one, needed the training
that he secured during the first part
of the American engagements of the
comapny to enable him TO produce the
faultless presentation of the charac-
ters which he portrayed. He is
strong actor, but still a young one,
and every night of experience under
his fathers tutelage added to his
strength.
Irving's Chicago engagement was
wonderful financial success. Seventy
five thousand dollars was piled into
the money tills of the box Office dur
ing his short stay in the Lake city,
and he could well afford to promise
Chicago another opportunity of see
ing him and his company before his
return to England. The return visit
is promised for a week in April.
But with all these bright and shin
Ing lights of the eastern and Euro
pean stage playing on the boards of
Chicago, the people of that city never
turn from the old loves. While they
accorded the "great guns" of the
stage an almost unequaled reception,
yet it was not at the expense of the
players who favor the city with their
presence each season. OF this class
none stands higher than does Alice
Nelson and the superb company with
which she is presenting "The Singing
Girl" The brilliant success that Miss
Nelson and her company have
achieved this season Is due entirely
