trolled enthusiasm as greeted Edward Har-
rigan on his return to 1.-The island where L
belong"-the city that once took him up
and later threw him down. 1t is a peculiar
sort of lump-in-the-th throat welcome home
greeting that the metropolis reserves for
favorites whom misfortune has overtaken.
Something like it greeted Sir Henry Irving
when, defying financial losses and i'll
health, he came before us again in
"Robespierre." But as Mondays audience
prolonged its hubbub for Harrigan, | could
think of but one occasion equal to it in the
last ten years. That was upon the reap
pearance of Ada Rehan, after two years of
retired mourning for the dead Augustin
DAILY, and at that time she in money
difficulties, since reversed to wealth. Each
member of the Harrigan company was
greeted rapturously, and the climax seemed
reached when Harrigan himself appeared.
Two minutes of noise with voices and
hands were not enough. Each time he
started TO speak the turmoil broke out
afresh. He had to step out of his char
acter, before he had spoken word of it,
and give the first of what turned out TO
be an evenings series of speeches of
thanks. Il looked as if the audience was
about to quiet down and give the new play
a chance, when a wagon, drawn by a
shabby old nag, brought good old Annie
Yeamans into view. Here at last was the
climax of mad JOY when Harrigan and Mrs.
Yeamans stood hand in hand, applause and
cheers were not enough now, but things
had to be Observation-Disclosures, pro-
grammes, hats, anything.
With such acclaim still in my ears, it
would be impossible for me to give you
idea of the plays effect on a normal au-
dience. 1t seemed incoherent, yet what per-
fectly constructed drama, what closest-knt
masterpiece of a Pinero could create an
illusion impress a connected idea, inter-
rupted every third minute by personal
ovation? 1t all seemed to be very much as
of yore, Collyer and Sparks lazy negro
and his lady friend, Mrs. Yeamans as a
grimacing Irish woman, Harrigan as a
hearty, philosophizing Irishman. The Har-
rigan humor still was forceful and rough,
whether physically with slap-sticks or
verbally with indicate jests Harrigan,
for instance, hoped that the woman he was
his shirt front. And the story of the play
revolved around a negro corpse that had
been some weeks out of a grave. and, it be-
ing midsummer, simply couldn't be above
ground any longer. But it was ever so
with Harrigan. There have been better

CHICAGO's CURIOUS LARD DEAL.

New York Post.

New York Post.
Swift's lard deal is attracting the atten-
ton OF the trading world II Is the largest
deal OF the sort ever handled, putting ali
others in the shade. There is about 100 0Oo
tierces of lard here. mostly owned by Swift
This week he has had to pay for about 50 :
600 tierces involving the expenditure of
N,5o.0co. The peculiar feature of the deal
is that Swift has steadily accumulated lard
since the price was around $40 fn April
when stocks were only 1900 tierces
What the object was in buying the high
priced lard IN the face of a steady ipcrea se
in stocks is what has puzzled the trade
IL has been popular to sell lard short u,,
TO within the past week, the shortage ar
one time aggreagting 10000 tierces. Thi,
has been reduced one-half Lard i'm chi
cago Is relatively higher than in any other
market, and there is about a third OF the
available stock of the world held here
The price is attracting lard here from
Eastern and Western points, and IL has
been comomn of late for packers in Indiana
and Ohio to buy hogs here shin them TO
their packing houses. and reship the lard
here again for delivery. In one day this
week $50 uerces were received from out
side packing points. This is taken as an
indication that the Swifts will get all the
lard due them by the end OF the month
That they Will be able to get rid OF the lard
eventually with profit no one has any
doubt. but IL IL believed that the PROPOSE
ton viii take some months to work out.

Of the family But the elder Yeamans has
no opportunity in Under Cover" Jennie
gives truly remarkable tragic sketch of a
dr1nk-sodden woman who minges with and
sings of 1.-THE fringe of society" She ap-
pears in a low, East Side lodging, unkempt
and dirty, slovenly in her unsteady walk,
rum-soaked in her speech, the degenerate
wreck of a one-time stage queen, maunder-
ingly recalling the men who started her on
her downward path with champagne, and
when she had utterly fallen, refused to
give her the cheapest whisky. Nothing in
Ibsen is more awful, more tremendous in
its tragic realism, more compact in its
brief suggestion Of a life's tragedy than
this ten-minute sketch OF Boozie Susie.
During it's brief duration it places Harri-
gan and Miss Yeamans shoulder TO shoul-
der with Russia's Maxim Gorky and
Frances Bertha Bady in triumphantly
artistic creation and portrayal of utter
degradation. Could they, 1 wonder, rival
these honored realists of Europe in more
than passing sketch.

A longer object lesson in inebriety, the
Drink" which Charles Reade drama
tized from Zola's 'L'Assommoir,' is given
to this week by Chares Warner, who
has played the drunkard more than three
thousand times in London. He is robus-
tiously skillful actor, and he gives a dread
full portrayal Of the wretch who, after
rising and falling from and back into the
horrors Of alcoholism, dies a raving
maniacs death. This happens at a cut
rate theater, where audiences are ac-
customed to intense activities, but War
ners throes of agony in deirium tremens
awes the multitude wonderfully. The
neighborhood of that house is bibulous at
many bars, and the temple of Thespis is
usually half-emptied between acts by men
who throng the affairs of Bacchus. 1t is
fact within my personal observation that
in no intermission of DRINK after the first
is there more than the slightest exodus of
drinkers. Although Warmers beverage is
French brandy of a particularly deadly
kind. and that of the near by bars is mild
lager beer chiefly, his lesson in total absti-
nence is a destroyer of much OF evening
sale Of even malt beverage thereabouts.
