THE MOTION WAS CARRIED.
Senator Pettus Threw Scare Into the
Senate.

Senator Pettus of Alabama Is the
most owllike member of the senate
He is so ponderously solemn that he
Is unconsciously humorous.
Mr.. Pettus will be 80 years old next
July. He belongs to the old school of
southern statesmen now fast disap-
pearing. 1t is easy to see. in the dog
the law to his senatorial colleagues
that he has been Judge When he
opens his mouth he is Sir Oracle.
He speaks with great deliberation,
at the rate of about six words q
minute, and each word is emphasized
by the waving Of his chin whiskers.
His gestures are confined to wide
sweep of the arm from his body and
an inverse motion that is irresitibly
comic. Everything he does or says is
serious Even when he wants the
senate to adjourn, he goes about 1t in
way that is the very quintessence of
solemn dignity. For instance. the
other afternoon, when Mr. Spooner was
talking on the Quay case, Mr. Pettus
arose.
Il should like to ask the senator to
give way for a motion. If he pleases,"
remarked Mr.. Pettus. uttering each
word as If the fate of the nation de-
pended upon the answer.
81 will agree to anything the senator
wants we to- replied Mr. Spooner,
smilingly, except to vote against my
convictions on constitutional ques-
ton"
81 am not asking you to do that
said Mr.. Pettus, still mysterious, "but
want you to give way to motion"
well. what is ito asked Mr.
Spooner.
1T is to adjourn" answered Mr.
Pettus, in his melancholy voice. and
without a smile on his face.
Every member of the senate
laughed, and the motion to adjourn
was carried

better use that can be made of the

its application to exposition purposes.

must be an "old home day" when all

ARTISTS SCORE TR1UMPHs.
Hearty Applause Is Given Singers
at Matinee and in Evening.

Calve has redeemed her fame as a prima
donna and last night she showed that re-
markable ability as an actress and singer
over which two continents have gone into
raptures.
Yesterday was a remarkable day for the
present grand opera season. In the after
noon lie Nozze di Figaro" was repeated
before an audience that was the biggest,
in point Of numbers, that has ever gath
cred within the Grand Opera-house. In
the evening a double bill was given, con-
sisting of La Boheme' and "CavalIeria
Rusticana, with Calve in the role of San
tuzza in the latter opera. The evening
audience was far from being a large one.
But Calve, whose rendition of Carmen
was declared by many not to be above
the average, proved last night that she
is all that has been claimed for her She
was in splendid voice and there was not
a moment when she was on the stage that
she was not acting. A more dramatic
impersonation of the character of San
tuzza has probably never been witnessed
in America and Calve was the recipient
Of six recalls while the curtain was up.
Many flowers were showered on Grau's
artists yesterday. The crowd at the mat
inee was composed principally of women
and the theater presented a brilliant ap-
pearance. Nine. Sembrich is the last of
the Grau singers to succumb to the eli

The reception given to Sembrich and
Eames was of the most hearty character
and bouquets by the dozen were thrown
on the stage. Eames presented Sembrich
with floral horseshoe and in return was
kissed by her sister artist. Then Sem
brich Rugged all the rest of the cast and
distributed some of the floral gifts she
had received. The stage love feast
was enjoyed by the audience immensely
Needless to say that FRITZ Scheff, Cam

ton.
La Boheme," which preceded "Caval-
leria Rusticana" last night, was heartily
applauded by the audience. Suzanne
Adams, FRITZ Scheff. De Marchi, Gill
bert and Scott were in the cast and were
called before the curtain time and time
again.
The attraction of the evening was Calve
in Leoncavallo's opera. The famous in

Strother Spencer, clerk in the Owl
drug store, died while lying on the op-
Grating table in the General Emergency
Hospital yesterday forenoon. Spencer,
who had been connected with the Owl
ore for the past eight years, went down
into the cellar yesterday, a place where
he had not been in the habit of visiting,
and when missed by the other attendants
in the store he was searched for and
found lying on the floor breathing heav-
lily. Restoratives were administered, but
as they failed to rouse the sufferer to
consciousness he was rushed off to the
Emergency Hospital. DR.. Bunnell placed
him on the operating table for examina-
ton, but before anything could be done
for him he expired. The Coroner was no.

'The Girl From Maxim's" Captivates
Audience at ColIInn nbia.

Just to say it little slangily, like the
play itself, "The Girl From Maxim's'
-Maxeem' if you please-"has hit the
town right" The announcement that the
farce produced at the Columbia last night
was from the pen of the brilliant George
Feydeau, author of 1.-The Gay Paris
ians," was in itself a sufficient guaran-
tee that there would not be dull line
in the production. The farce in the
hands of the exceedingly clever COM
pany came up to expectations, and ex-
pectation was high. 1t is as funny as
the Parisians, the fun being Partisan, be-
ginning with a married man waking up
with a sore head after a night with the
boys and finding a pretty and vivacious
girl in the bed that he had not occupied,
he having snored through the night un-
der an upset lounge in adjoining
room. DR.. Petypont, the aforesaid mar
ried man, is informed by his friend, Bru-
marge, that he had mistaken his own
house for hotel ana had conducted the
girl from Maxims thither. The. girl,
whose latest name is Praline, sticks to
the doctor like leech or a wife, and in
order to get her out of the way he takes
her to General Petyponts country villa,
where the general, having mistaken her
for the doctors wife, introduces her as
such.
P1aline's high kicking is mistaken by
the ladies at the villa for the latest Pa

ond act there are tantalizing half
rustiing lingerie. The fun of the play
centers about everybody mistaking Pra-
line for the doctors wife and Mrs. DR..
Petypont mistak 3 her for the spouse of
the general
Joseph Allen, the general, has laugh
that is contagious and everybody on the
other side of the footlights laughs with
him. Funnier than even his laugh is the
quaint way in which he bestoWs kicks
upon himself. w. H. Turner is the
married doctor to perfection and makes
the best of the bad scrape into which he
has got himself. The Duke, John II.
Armstrong, in love with Praline, is a
comical character, and his makeup pro-
vokes merriment. Florence Gerald is the
rangy Nine. Petypont and comes in al
ways at the wrong moment, but just late
enough not to find out anything Even
the subordinate characters are funny,
and there is quite a brilliant satire on
the harmless French pastimc of dueling,
in which the seconds arrange all the pre-
liminaries, utterly regardless of the
wishes or the feelings of the principals.
The farce must have been rigidly blue
penciled, for it is not at all naughty as
one might expect. For instance, PraIine
jumps out of bed in very natty costume
and with shoes and stockings on, as if
she, too, had been too tired to remove
them when she retired
Although the night outside was threat
ening, there was the usual Columbia
Theater audience, and the applause was
liberal, but not more liberal than the
performance deserved.

Fischer's Concert-House.

A capital programme from beginning to

repeat the number three times. The Ler-
ner children introduced many bright sing
ing and dancing specialties in their
sketch, Aunt Amanda's Visit" Blanche
Reynolds, trombone soloist, made her first
appearance in this city, scoring a decided
success, and Dunning and Grimm pre-
sented graceful and daring trapeze per-
formance. Ben Lucier, a clever acrobat
and equilibrist, and Oro, Bernard and
Orc in Scenes in Chinatown concluded
the vaudeville portion of the entertain
ment
