Rouers Brothers.

''rhe Rogers Brothers in Washington John J. McNally's latest medium for the abilities of Gus and Max Rogers, will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre Tuesday night.
 These stars appear at the head of company described as unusually large in membership, and containing several players not heretofore identified with them. Mir. McNally was assisted in the making of the vaudeville farce" as 1t Is managerially described, by Harry B. Smith, who furnished the lyrics, and Maurice Levi, who provided the music. There are three divisions of the enter tainment, and the locale of action Is, variously in the reception room of the Dem ocratc Club New York City; the Botanical Gardens, Washington, and the Court of Fountains at the Pan-American Exposition. Buffalo
 The stars are cast as pair of ignorant gullible Germans. who are persuaded to let their names be used as candidates in Q Congressional campaign operated by practical politician, whose desire is to divide the Democratic vote in such a manner to insure the elec-.on of a Re- publican from a district that has always been rock-bound in its adherence to Tammany Hall The Republican candi- date IS obliged 10 go to congress rom this particular district In order to comply with the terms of will made by an ec- centric old guardian of the girl he loves. There is suggestion in this sketch of the plot of good opportunities for the Rog- CTS Brothers along the lines successfully followed by them in previous entertain- ments of which they have been the stars
 Two of the songs are said to have Sproved immensely successful in other cit ies: Around the Halls;' in which the stars and Hat.-e Williams, their new leading woman, appear, and The Wed ding of the Reuben and the Maid" a sort of sequel by Smith and Levi to Beware of an Innocent Maid" and WI Reu- ben Comes to Town" which were so pop ular in. respectively, "In Wall Street. ' and Tn Central Park. A new ballet is called '1776-190l" Pictorially, the enter tainment is heralded as surpassing those of previous seasons. It was staged by Ben Teal Eugene Jepson Gus. c. Vein. burg. William West, Pat Rooney, Caro- lyn Gordon, Jeanette bageard and Edith St. Clair are among the principal per formers named in the roster.

Josef Hofmann.

Josef Hofmann, one of the foremost pianists, will give a recital at the Jeffer- son Theatre next Friday night. Hof- mann's career has been little less than marvellous. He was born in Cracow, Jan uary 20th, 1877. He first studied with his father who was a professor at the War saw Conservatory. At the age of six he was heard in public for the first time and from then until his ninth year he was heard only in the vicinity of his own home. When he was ten years of age he made his first appearance in Berlin After a number of concerts and recitals through Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, he then visited Vienna, Paris and London. During the season 1SS7-SS, he visited this country for the first time when he played nearly 50 concerts.
 His first tour was suddenly abandoned and Hofmann returned to Europe where he went into retirement until 1894 when he made his re-appearance in Dresden. His success on the second appearance was brilliant and so enthusiastic was ! Rubinstein over It. that he immediately invited Hoffman to play in Hamburg at an orchestral concert under his direction. After playing through Germany, Hof- mann went to Russia where he made his debut in St. Petersburg. The perform ance on that evening was a memorable one. The critics were enraptured. No pianist, they said, had such magnetic in- fluence over his audience as did Hofmann
 At his recitals given In New York City last season, the New York Herald said the following in support of this: ''IIof- mann Is one of those fortunate players who appeals both to artists and anna teurs." It was in 1898 that Hofmann made his second tour In this country. Then he made his debut in New York City, under the direction of Theodore Thomas and his Chicago Orchestra. He was only heard in limited number of concerts, but they were sufficient appear ances for the critis to stamp him with their approval as a Master of his in- strum ent"

jury was fin the box ready to be passed upon, and things were becoming desper- ate for MT Crow, when all at once bright thought struck him. and, address ing his honor he announced that the de- fense was ready for trial, but at the same time stated that he thought it was only fair to the court and all concerned to state that his client had been exposed to the smallpox and was Just about due to break out with 1t. But" said he, "as far as am concerned. I have had smah- pox and am not afraid of 1t, and if ths others interested in the case are willing to proceed I am"
 The bluff worked like charm, and 1t is needless to say that it was the unani- nous opinion of the prosecution. judge and jury that they had better take no chances and the attorney got his con- tinuance. It. however. is due to Mi. Crow to state that his client resides in a neighborhood where there has been a case or two of smallpox recently and many have been exposed. but up to last accounts had not broken out yet.

The Cycle WhlrI.

Chased as the most sensational act on the vaudeville stage, the Cycle Whirl has earned its title. Four len on wheels ride around this small saucer shaed track. which is erected on the stage, at such a rate of speed that their wheels are almost horizontal. The sides of the track are so steep that a man standing at the bottom can reach out his arm and nearly touch the track. The race will be inter- esting. The riders are compelled to ride as fast as possible. otherwise their wheels would slip of the traclr They simply cannot loaf. The excitei..- Tt and inter-
 est in tho race has often caused audiences in the East to stand up and wave hats and handkerehiefs as they would at 8 regular race in Madison Square Garden.

Electric Current as Fire Hazard.

From the Electricity.
 Whenever fire Is started which results in a financial loss its origin is usually attributed to defective light or power wires, providing of course electrical con ductors were to be found in the vicinity The conflagration which started on Feb- ruary in Paterson. N. J.. and which destroyed some ss,oOO.0OO worth of proper ey, was no exception to the rule referred to above. A number of daily papers im- mediately printed faring heads claiming that the flames were started by defective wires. It was alleged that all the trouble was caused by defective insulation of an electric feed wire belonging to the Jer- sey City, Hoboken and Paterson Traction Company. After more careful inves- tigation 1t was decided that electricity was not responsible for the damage. Da- vid Young, president of the trolly com pany, made the statement that there was no electric wiring at the end of the

welcomed by many who have previously seen and can testify to the brilliancy of this well-known star.
 Our British cousins are slow to absorb American ideas and as a consequence many of the flrst-class theatres of Great Britain are not nearly so well equipped electrically as those of Uncle samuel's theatres in cities of much less population. This being so, much of the effect of the Brocken, garden and apotheosis WAS un- obtainable in Henry Irvings production, owing to the poor quality of the flame, fire. cloud, lightning and general cleo tric effects which are a prominent fea- ture of Lewis Norrison's production. Bx- elusive of the above mentioned scenes some dazzling effects are gained in the new prologue, w-lch has a succession of cloud effects to which the vari-colored lights and one pure white ray centered on the Heavenly Gates add in an un- mistakable degree.

car sheds where the fire was said to have been first seen.
 As we have more than once stated in these columns, whenever fire starts and consumes everything people are too prone to lay the blame on defective wiring. The board of fire underwriters examine into the matter and if nothing definite can be ascertained say Put 1t down to defective wiring" Thus the reports issued by that body show apparently an immense amount of damage done by electricity and insurance rates consequently rise. We will venture to say that the electric cur rent has in the past been unjustly blamed for many confiagrations when some other cause should have been sought for.

An overflow of good things was the yer dict of theatre goers on the attractions last week. With the exception of Josh ua Simpkins," every company playing the Jefferson ranked among the best of the season. At the Auditorium the best Dill since the house opened for vaudeville was seen.
 Monday night Jefferson De Angelis nlayed to a packed house. He was of course the whole show, but he was suf- ficient Wednesday night Adelaide Thurs- ton was seen in a return engagement or Sweet Clover" to another large house. and Friday night Otis Skinner drew an overflow audience. The French opera Company filled the Jefferson for the fourth time during the week.
 Master Jimmy Duffy was the feature at the Auditorium-the best or the season. He earned his title to the greatest chllo artist in the business, pleasing the chil- dren and old folk alike.
 A treat Is in store tomorrow night when Lewis Morrison plays Mephisto Tn Faust" His name has been associated with the play for many years and no one bas ever been able to initiate him as "his satanic majesty"

The little old man fiddled very hard
as he stood near the curbstone in
Twenty-third street. The passersby
looked at him curiously. Some of them
smiled. No one gave him a penny.
Presently he was seen to totter and
then TO fall, but he kept on fiddling
just the same, even when he lay prone
upon his back. A man helped him TO
his feet. He never missed a note. A
little boy who had been regarding him
with keen interest went up TO him.
Suddenly the bow hung poised and
motionless. The little old man had
run down. The boy bought him for a
quarter. however. The vender showed
him how to start the fiddle up again,
and the two went off together. happy
and contented.-New York Press.
