Vaudeville mt the Grand.

Miss Lolita Gladstone works so close to
the fact in a caricature of the country girl
in this weeks vaudeville at the Grand that
it is almost pathetic. She wears pitiable
finery, tells about her trip to the city and
about the doings of her stupid family back
on the farm. She interjects a loud and
infectious laugh frequently. Better still
are Miss Gladstones limitations of an Irish
woman. little girl an indulgent mother.
q toothless grandmother and a boy that
refuses TO ''recite" because he has come
to the party without his supper. expecting
ice cream and cake. and, disappointed in
not finding those delicacies, "his stomach
hurts" His mother is mortified, the Irish
woman would 'mortify'' the boy if he were
hers, the mother is afraid to spank the
child "on an empty stomach and the
grandmother suggests that he be turned
over" Miss Gladstone's material obvious
ly has been gathered from observation OF
life in the country and she reproduces the
effects with fine skill.
A European ventrilOquist, Lieutenant No
BILE. shows several automatons. among them
crow. The bird seems to speak and sing,
and his throat feathers and tail move nat
urally. 1t is a remarkable bit of construc-
ton. The act has the merit of foreign in
terest and style. Miss Jessie Dale sings
ballads. The Rossow midgets pursue the
same routine that they have used for eight
or ten years in this city; Charlie sings
several songs in voice that is rather a
squeal and he and his brother do simple
tumbling and lively boxing. The man OF
the team of Forester and Floyd has a
coster song and costume that are interest
ing, but he and his partner spend most or
their time in exploiting jokes that were not
funny even when they were new. Their
humor. however. is no more disheartening
than that of Lew Wells, who dismally at
tempts TO be a comedian and a musician at
once. His fun is stale and dreGry as
has been offered in this vaudeville house
since its opening. He tries to extract
melody from bells, a metallaphone and a
saxaphone and fails painfully in each case.
Fred Leslie exhibits some trained dogs.
Some of the animals do conventional tricks
and others do leaping that is not surpris-
ing. The day Of the leaping hound on the
stage seems TO have passed. But Leslie's
dogs do better than he does. he wears a
shabby dress suit that looks as If he had
walked on a country road in it, and he has
an assistant poorly dressed that he sug-
gests a tramp that has collected an old,
fraternal-society uniform. The act is badly
put on the stage.
This evening the receipts of the theater
will be given TO Mrs. Frank Fisher, whose
husband is at a local hospital. She will
sing and dance in the bill. The theater
will be filled for the benefit. The Elks have
soid many tickets.

LICENSE TO SELL LIQUOR
CIRCUMSTANCES AGAINST PHILIP
HOFFBAUER, JR., NOT SUFFICIENT.
A Fight Made Before the Commits
sioners by the Anti-SalOOn
League Officers.

The County Commissioners yesterday
granted Philip Hoffbauer, jr., license to
run a saloon at 1887 Hill avenue. The
granting of the license was opposed by the
Anti-Saloon League, and through its at
torney, Charles ]. Orbison, recently filed
a remonstrance against the application.
Yesterday the commissioners heard the tes-
timony of those persons opposed to the
saloon. A number of the witnesses testified
that the place was morally unfit to be Ii
censed, and that Hoffbauer in his conduct
of the place prior to the expiration of the
present license has permitted minors to
visit the saloon and has allowed men to
become too drunk in the place to be able
to get home
Several witnesses, minors, testified that
they had been in the saloon and bought
soft drinks" All of them acknowledged
that they had misrepresented their age to
the proprietor. One witness whose testi-
mony was intended to establish the allega-
liquor to a man to make him drunk was
w. ]. Okey. Okey was formerly connected
with the ministry, and is active in his op-
position to saloons in general and Hoff-
bauers place in particular. He testified
that he had carried his father out of the
place because he was intoxicated. He was
asked If his father was an habltual drinker
and he replied that he was-"shame on him

for Hoffbauer, called Charles Crosley, a
bricklayer, to the witness chair. He was
asked If ne knew Okey and his reputation
for truth and veracity in the community
in which he lives. He said he did, and
that ii was bad. After making this asser-
ton he said he that believed this to be a
fact, and left the chair after looking Okey
sQuarely in the face. Okey did not reply,
but showed his discontinue by Redeemed
face and embarrassment.
The commissioners will hear the protests
over the granting of a license to Charles
Blackwell, who runs a saloon in the same
neighborhood, to-day. Charges of the same
character are made against Blackwell.

The badger game is the subject of ION
the Road to Ruin" a melodrama at the
Park Theater. Jack Morton, a college
boy, returns to his home town, where his
mother and his sweetheart await him.
But he is met by a vicious woman that
has known him in New York and she per-
suades him to go to the metropolis with
her. They are followed by Morton's
fiancee, who is determined to save him
from ruin. The bad woman and her hus-
band arrange to blackmail Morton, but

pushes Mortons adversary off the ledge
and drags her foolish lover in. He decides
to reform and the good girl at length is
rewarded with his love. The fight on the
window ledge is the principal scene of the
play, and it is shown by a mechanical
continuance. In the second act of the
piece there is a dance by Harry and Sadie
Fields that enlivens matters. Another
play will be put on at the Park for the
latter half of the week.

Composer Mascagni Retaliates.

BOSTON, Nov. 10.-Pietre Mascagni, the
composer who was arrested Saturday night
on a mesne process in a suit brought by his
former managers, Mittenthal Brothers, was
released after hearing in the Superior
Court to-day on $4,000 bond. which he fur
nished himself. Mascagni Immediately re-
taliated by suing the Mittenthals for $4,000
damages for alleged false arrest. When
Mascagni appeared before Judge Braley
under the Mittenthal proceeding, the court
suggested that counsel in the case hold a
conference and decide upon some date when
the full merits of the controversy could be
argued. In the meantime the court told
the lawyers that Mascagni was a foreigner
and a great composer and should receive
every courtesy from Americans. To this
end Judge Braley advised that Mascagni be
not held in this city under excessive bail
and suggested that by furnishing $1,000 bail
Mascagni could continue his tour in this
country. The lawyers agreed to this and
the composer at once put up the money
Subsequently the suit against the Mitten-
thals for $4,000 damages was instituted,
and an attachment was served upon the
Mttenthals. The trial of the suit will not
take place for some time. IL is stated that
Mascagni will resume his tour in this
country.

Variety at the Empire.

Tenley and Simonds, after a period in
vaudeville, have gone back to the 'varie-
ty." They appeared yesterdad with the
Dainty Duchess" Company, which opened
at the Empire Theater. The two men have
a sidewalk sketch not differing from 9TH
ers, except that Tenley is funny. Tenley
plays the rough end of the act, and pro-
duces the greater part of the mirth. ST.
monds is the well-dressed half, and as
sists his partner considerably. The olio is
made up of several strong acts. The four
Silvanis, two women and two men, have
an act full of acrobatic work and feats
evening dress, pays strict attention to it's
work, gets through with it In a hurry and
leaves the stage followed by loud applause.
Freddy Joelson, a seventeen-year-old boy
with a strong voice, sings several new
songs, which he illustrates with the ste
reoptican. Joelson closes his act with
clever whistling in imitation of a hooking
bird. Lillian Washburn and George To-
pack retain their same sketch, 1.-THE Sport
ing Editor" and il has not lost any of it's
mirth. Topack is the same funny man
that he has always been. Babe and Do
lores De Graft have a well-dressed singing
and dancing act. Harry Lester and Lou
Anger impersonate two ignorant Germans.
In so doing they mangle the English lam
guage. The show opens and closes with
burlesque. In these acts Nellie Sylvester
takes the leading part. She sings a number
of songs and is assisted by chorus.

WON A CHEAP UMBRELLA.
John McGregor Reaps the First Fruits
of Luck.

John McGregor. newly-elected county
commissioner, yesterday received some re-
turn for the large amount of money he
was induced to spend in the purchase of
chances on raffies and guesses at church
fairs and places very much unlike churches
during his campaign. The return received
was large cotton umbrella, valued at 81
cents. The chance on the umbrella was
bought at Fifteenth ward meeting a few
nights before the election, and the value
of it nearly equals the purchase price of
the chance.
Don't you know" said Commissioner
McGregor, with the self-satiSfied smile of
a man who knows a few things and has
practiced what he knows, that the best
way for candidate TO advertise is through
the newspapers? / believe that If ever 1

then Mr.. McGregor remarked that there
was a general apathy in cigar donations
and settled down to the official business
of going home.
