at the Grand this week. Miss Osterman
was given a hearty reception by her local
friends and admirers at yesterdays two
performances. She is not merely a beauti-
full woman and a talented actress of COM
edy. but is possesses of an engaging per-
sonality, and the combination makes her
one OF the most welcome OF all vaudeville
artists. Mr.. Brooks is provided with a
number of opportunities for farcical work
and improves them to the utmost.

programme is Corinne, the foremost oper-

OF two songs. two changes or costume. a

was unfortunate in the fact that much OF
their act had been doled out to patrons OF
the Grand in separate lots heretofore. They
are good entertainers, nevertheless. An
exceptionally strong feature is the dane

Panther trio. assisted by Mrs. Carl Painter,
who supplies the piano accomplishments.
The two young women in the trio appear
in costumes that bring out in relief their
magnificent muscular development. The

wiIIiams's Company mt Park.

Harry W.. Williams's Own Company,
which opened a three days engagement
at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon,
is fully the equal of any travelling vaude-
vile company that has been seen at the
Park in the past two seasons. The strong
acts on the programme are greatly in the
majority and there is none that is without
merit. The house was crowded to the
doors at the matinee and night perform
ances yesterday and the audiences were
enthusiastic in their commentator of the
fine programme provided. Budd Brothers,
clown acrobats, did clever work on the
horizontal bars in addition to displaying
ability as trick tumblers. The comedy
feature of their act was different from thar

anceS, In that 1t was really funny. The
Clemence sisters were we'll received in
their entertaining operate sketch. The
exhibition of trick bicycle riding by the st.
Onge Brothers has never been surpassed
In this part of the country. The biggest hit
was scored by the talented Mortons, Sam,
Kitty and Clara Louise, in ar act that dis
played their astonishing versatility and
cleverness. Their sketch is overflowing
with fun and is made up of singing, dane
ing, burlesques and new jokes. Lawrence
Crane gave a delightful exhibition of
straightforward and magic. the principal
feature of which was skillful manipulation
Of cards. Clifford and HUH, old favorites
at the Park. reappeared in a brand new
comedy sketch, in which Mr.. Clifford. of
course, danced his way into the hearts of
the audience, and Miss Huth, the jolly
coincidence. sang better than she has ever
sung here before. Van Duzen, Barnes.
Brock and Groh, billed as 1.-The Minnie
Four" created considerable merriment. The
programme was brought to a hilarious fin
ish by Zazell and Vernon, acrobats and
pantomimists, who have won a European
success since their last appearance at the
Park. The musical number that was to
have been given by Smith and Fuller was
necessarily eliminated because one of the
team has the smallpox.

EITHER KING OR PAUPER
STEEL Is THE JUMPING ACK OF
BUSINESS, CARNEGIE SAYS.
No Truth i'm the Report that j. II.
Morgan and Others Are Trying to
All Steel Companies.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Evening Post
has the following: Andrew Carnegie to-day
himself affirmed the denial of stories which
were current yesterday to the effect that J.
P. Morgan and others were preparing TO
buy the Carnegie Steel Company. Until
Mr.. Carnegie made this statement it was
still believed in many quarters that the
first step had been taken towards uniting
all the steel companies of the country un-
der one so-called Community of Interest.

sociates in the railroad world.

that the j. p. Morgan interests are pre-
pairing to buy the Carnegie Steel Company
and form a general combination with other
companies in the trader" it was asked.
mo truth that / know Of" answered Mr..
Carnegie. '"The idea is in the air. just as
railroad combination is; but is only an idea
what a combination 1T would make"
us the Carnegie Steel Company in any
sense on the market, or is it satisfied with
the existing situation and prepared to do
business on its own terms?"
Said Mr.. Carnegie: 1T is not in the mar
ket. 1t is prepared to do business, of
course, but always in a friendly co-opera-
ton with others. 1t is no aggressive, quar-
relsome concern"

Il see no reason TO believe said Mr..
Carnegie, that competition in any business
can be permanently prevented, unless by
patent or control of raw materials. Even
the railroads will soon quarrel, and the
gentlemen's agreements go to pieces. This
is human nature"
In reply to the question whether the steel
industry were not profitable enough now
to insure good returns to companies prop
erly capitalized and managed, without COM
petition, Mr.. Carnegie said:
Just now; yes. 1t is prosperous. But
steel is either a king or a pauper. 1t Is
the jumping-jack of business"

WORK FOR CORONER.
Cases of Robert White and Mrs. Day
investigated.

The coroner was called yesterday to in
vestigate the death OF Robert White, of 427
East Market street. who died after the adj
ministration of chloroform preparatory to
a necessary operation. The giving of the
anesthetic was followed by commissions
which ended in death. The coroner said
the physicians were probably in no manner
to blame for the outcome, though death had
resulted from some trouble not determined
by, an autopsy which was held.
The coroner was notified last night of the
death of Mrs. Daisy Day, wife of Harry
Day, Familiarity known as Reuben Glue
who died at their home on East Washing
ton street very suddenly. The husband
called the dispensary doctors. but she was
dead when they arrived. He said he re-
turned to his home about 3 O'Clock, and,
after getting his wife a drink, assisted her
to bed. She had died In a few minutes. He
said she had been i'll for several days m
He did not know how much of it she had
taken nor did he know what the medicine
was. She was thirty-two years of age and
leaves three children.
The attention of the police was called to
the case about midnight and the bicycle
police were sent to Days home. There they
found Reuben Clue lying on the floor.
He was drunk and when aroused by the Of
fcers became what the bicycle police,
Schroeder and Hauser, called "crazy
drunk" They inquired about the medicine
and were told that he bought the medicine
at Joseph f. Frey's drug store, asking for
a remedy for stomach trouble. The drug
gist told the officers that the medicine con-
tanned no harmless remedy with the ex-
ception of chloroform. He was not in
proper condition TO answer intelligently to
the questions of the officers and was taken
TO headquarters and slated as a drunk. The
police and the ~dispensary doctors expressed
the opinion that she died from other than
natural causes, the exact nature of which
they were unable 10 determine. The prob
ability, from the statements Of the officers
and the dispensary physicians Is that she
died from the effects of an overdose of the
medicine. the greater portion of which was
chloroform.
