At the Biiou.

At the Bijou.
 Beginning Monday the George Fawcett company will be at the Bijou with Frank Gilmore in one of the most famous of the old plays, "Rosedale" in which the late Lester Wallack made one of the greatest hits of his career. 'Rosedale" is essentially a drama of action. elabor- ate scenically. with brilliant coloring In costuming and absorbing interesting throughout. It has some of the best com edy known to the stage in productions of this class.
 All the old favorites of the company will be seen in this production of Rose. dale' which. by the way. uses more peo- pie on the stage than anything the com pany headed by MT Gillmore has ever done in this city In the leading role MT. Gilmore has a part which is particular ly well fitted to his quiet methods. Miss Grace Kimball. too, is seen at her best in the play, while Miss Julia Marie Fay Tor and the other women of the company are all suitably cast
 As for the men Dewitt Jennings as Myles Mckenna, the gypsy chief, and Charles B. Hawkins in a strong eccentric
  Gilmore himself. In these two parts Hawkins and Jennings have made two of their most pronounced hits. The touch of comedy throughout the piece is agree able while the serious moments are in- tense to degree. It is constant change from laughter to thrills and back again, the piece being broadly melo- dramatic at times, and subtle at other times.
 The story of "Rosedale" Is one which is familiar to the old theatregoers of the country, but is comparatively new to the new generation. There is clustered about it the halo of the old days, but there Is crispness and freshness about 1t all which is far from being fashioned. The attention never flags.
 The scene of "Rosedale'' is in England and the hero, young English officer, of a careless, debonair type He is in love with a beautiful young girl which part Is played by Miss Kimball. The first scene Is a garden in which 1t is made known that the william of the piece pre- sumably an English gentleman, has prac- tical control of the fortune of the young girl and through an old gentleman of sporting proclivities, he plans to force the girl to marry him. In this act. too is shown little boy, the son of charm ing young widow, mischievious, and charming in his ways. Myles McKenna the gypsy chief, comes to the place for some reason and the little boys scolds him for being bad McKenna starts to strike the child when the young army officer, MT. Gilmore, enters, and with enc blow sends the gypsy sprawling.
 In the next act is shown the young officers room. It is night. The gypsy chief comes to the room to steal some valu- able papers and while there finds the young officer dozing in his chair. He binds him to the chair, and in revenge for the blow the officer has given him is about to brand him with a hot poker, which he heats in the fire, when there is compact made between the two and the officer is | released. Assistance comes just as the gypsy disappears through a secret door, In the third act Is shown the love affair

Cannon As a Farmer.

When Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois was married, he was In decidedly poor cir cumstances, and his mother. an economi- cal Quarkeress. who was anxious to have him found a household, said to him.

T tried to milk the COW, but she kicked me over and I had to give that up as bad job. tried to feed the calf, and it butted me all around the yard and tore my clothes nearly off
 When the bees got ready to swarm, I thought I would go out among them like father used to do and swarm them. The bees got among me-crawIed up un- der my shirt and stung me in a hundred different places-and had to let them go
 The only thing I could get along with at all was the pig. I could feed that

HIGH PRAISE FOR SENATOR VEST
More Than a Match For All the Re publican Debaters.

From the New York Evening Post
 Senator Vest, whose mind burns clear in the midst of his failing bodily powers, has just shown in his two-day debate on the coal tax what degree of truth there is in the current laments about the de- cline of oratory An orator In the tradi- tional sense MT. Vest never was, even in his prime. He had neither the physical presence nor the voice, nor the personal magnetism-nor even the finished rhetor teal art-which we associate with great public speaking But he was always a formidable debater; and the ready way in which he bowled over one republican senator after another, with the eager att tention with which this feeble old man was listened to by both floor and gallery, bore witness to the fact that the decay had not yet touched his nimble intellect.
 What are the qualities which make his antagonists dread him? First-and espe- cially in tariff questions, where he has ever been masterly-sound information. He knows whereof he affirms Many glib protectionist, like Senator Hale on one occasion, has had reason to regret challenging Senator Vests accuracy He goes documented, as a cowboy goes armed, and the result of an encounter is as dangerous in one case as in the other. Then he is perfectly fearless and honest He Is willing to tell the trrph and shame, not merely the devil (many a man is ready to do that. but what is much rarer, shame his own party. Other wise he could not have made so over whelming a retort as that with which he silenced Senator Aldrich. That gentleman took occasion to sheer at MT. Vests free trada oninions as held "only when they did not count" Why had not the demo- cratic party when in power done what it now rebuked the republican party for

Ben-Hur.

Klaw & Erlanger's stupendous produc- ton of "Ben-H Hur" is to be brought to Birmingham for a limited engagement early in February. It is pronounced the most elaborate spectacle of the times, and still the play as play, has received unqualified praise. There are seventeen tableaux, divided into a prelude and six acts, setting forth the principal episodes of Gen. Lew Wallace's familiar book the ''Tale of the Christ" The climax of the play as in the book, comes with the chariot race. In this, twelve horses racing at full speed. are shown. The illusion Is heightened by using a great rolling pan orama, showing the interior of the arena. The management does not emphasize this effect as the chief one of the production, however, relying upon the combined Sf- feet of the whole, for the desired i'm pression upon the spectator. Some of the scenery to be used here has just been made and has never yet been used. In the prelude, three camels ridden by the wise men of the east, are employed. In the massive tableau several hundred super numeraries will appear The dramatic eff feet of the story is still greater heighten- ed by the incidental music, which was composed by Professor Kelley of the college of the city of New York.

between the young widow and a young friend of the army officer. In this act too the boy mysteriously disappears. He is out with the army officers sweetheart, playing hide and seek, when she misses him and a search shows his hat floating on the water of lake. It is presumed that the boy has been drowned
 Then comes one of the most thrilling acts the stage has ever known, one which calls forth wild applause. The curtain shows a gypsy camp at night which is picturesque in the extreme. The vaga- bonds are crouching about the fire and half asleep on the rocks when there enters a supposed cracksman from Lon don to whom Myles McKenna is extreme ly attentive. There Is almost a touch of comic opera here, in the singing of a wild gypsy song, and then the gypsies retire leaving the London cracksman alone. He throws himself down on stone and begins to sing softly an old song which the missing boy loved As he sings the flaps of a tent near by are nov ed aside and the missing boy begins to crawl toward the cracksman. Slowly he goes across the stage on hands and knees until he reaches the cracksman. when with sudden move he tears off wig and beard and shows the young army of- fcer. They are clasped In each others arms when Myles McKenna appears. He shouts for his vagabond friends and they rush to attack the young officer. At a given signal by the officer half hundred members of his company rush on aud hold the gypsies at bay while the officer escapes with the child. Of all the thrill ing scenes the stage knows this is one of the most effective and wins curtain call after curtain call.
 In the last act everything ends hap pily with virtue triumphant and every thing as 1t should be. Altogether the play has been one of the most popular the George Fawcett company has ever pre- scented and Mir. Fawcett sends 1t south convinced that 1t will please even more than those plays in which the company has been seen so far. There will be the regular matinees during next week.

Creatore to be Here.

-reatore. the great Italian band leader who Is setting the country wild with his earnestness and the grandeur of his music will appear at the Jefferson theatre With his famous organization for three con certs Monday and Tuesday and Tuesday matinee.
 To those who have not seen Creatore and heard his band this will be new sensation. There is no question or the excellence of this. as some of the ablest critics have pronounced 1t marvellous. Such sentiment, such passion and ten derness it is declared, are rare and almost unheard of before. But 1t is the intensity of Creatore's own musical per eona1fty which so greatly interests and attracts the public He is a man of slight almost frail appearance, but with the ar of an artist, long black hair, flail-like arms and long, but well shaped hands and fingers. When he comes forward to lead his band, he seems to become sud denly possessed of some great power, and Is transported, as 1t were, to realm of his own. He seems utterly oblivious of everything about him save the musicians before him. He enters into the work of conducting with an ardor and agility never before witnessed. In a. graceful way he throws his arms and head about with an abandon which is astonishing moving about among the musicians threatening. imploring, inspir- ing them to play their best. The only really grotesque thing about the perform ance is the way his hair flies in all direc- tions during the swaying of his body in his frenzy at a great forte or climax. He uses no music score, as everything is retained in his wonderful memory, He reems to absorb everything musical and gives all of his attention and his very being to directing the band. He is mag netic, and the effect of all of this on the audience Is said to be eleetrfying
 The attention that Creatore attracts, and the audiences he draws are most un- usual. He was the continued success of the summer and fall season in New York city and during his two weeks engage ment at the Pittsburg exposition in Sep tember, all records of fourteen years for attendance, were broken, while the music lovers paid him the greatest homage.

CREAToRE.

James Montague in New York Evening Journal. creatorel creatore! there's fury in your
 form That can lash the tamest music to a
 shrill and shrieldng storm; To every order telegraphed from that
 hypnotic eye Reverberating ketuedrums respectfully
 reply, While swaying like a wind-swept reed
 your body cleaves the air, Inciting boom, and clash and crash, and
 bray, and blow and blare You frown upon the oboe and 1t griev-
 ously makes moan, You draw from an euphonium grum-
 bling undertone; You throw double duck fit, just as if
 you liked to work, To get results from wonder where the
 queer tympani turk; Meanwhile the evolutions that you set
 yourself to do Resemble macaroni while the same is in
 the stew. Old Patsy Gilmore, bless him, was
 leader who could show Contortionists and gymnasts things they
 really ought to know. While our own John Philip Sousa, with
 his short but gifted arms, And his Timber neck. possesses many
 captivating charms But as spectacles, we own it, neither one
 them would do For an instance in competing with a
 whalebone man like you. Blessings on you. Creatore; if we all could work like thas We would not get results that seem trifling, tame and fiat. Could be but hurl ourselves at what is given us to do And keep that whirlwind lick up till we get completely through, We'd make noise perhaps ourselves to echo through the land Aud get as much good out of life as you do from that band.

brought out at the close. The company introduces novelty in the shape of a continuous performance, the intermls- sion being filled by specialties. It is that Dan Darleigh deserves a good deal or credit for his presentation of "Old Si," as he Is kind and gentle and even wig orous as the role calls for 1t. His man. ner and acting are as true type of act ing as could he found, without the flaws usually found in such production. The supporting company and the band and orchestra under the direction of Ed Falte. are said to be each and every one an artist in their respective lines. A fitting close to the performance is the good old fashioned country dance, the music for which is furnished by the Grassville Gen. ter band, which appears on the stage during the closing festivities.

A CHRISTMAS DINNER
In CONSTANTINOPLE

The wife of the proprietor Of the
Levant Times in Constantinople. Mrs.
Laffan-H anly, wishing not long ago to
show to some of the inhabitants of
that city what an old fashioned Eng
lish Christmas was like and incidental
ly to cement valuable friendships for
her husband in certain influential quar-
tiers, sent out invitations for fifty per
sons. There was curious mingling Of
nationalities in the guests responding.
Greek, Persian, Turkish, French, Ar
menian, Russian, English, American,
Spanish, Hebrew, German. Italian, AL
bantam and one Japanese. Possibly
there may have been more nationalitics
represented, but only thirteen different
languages were spoken.
Mr.. Laffan-Hanly's house was situat-
ed in Pera, directly opposite the konak
of Fuad Pasha. AS the guests arrived,
some on horseback, a few on foot, a
few in coupes, but more in sedan
chairs. the faces Of the women in the
konak opposite could be family seen
pressed against the kaiass, for Fuad
Pasha was one Of the guests and none
of his wives could accompany him.
Hadji Rassim E1fendi was another.
There were two Hebrew bank direct
ors, the Persian ambassador and the
Japanese consul.
The house was built OF .ginally for a
Turkish residence, and three rooms
were decorated with holly and mistle
toe brought all the way from England
The Greek and Armenian ladies were
richly dressed in heavy silks and vel
vets under their fur lined wraps. They
wore profusion of jewels Of barbara
design. These ladies riot in bright color
| and dazzling effects. and on this occa
sion We're painted red and white ant
had their eyebrows blackened Thu
other ladies We're handsomely dressed
but 1t remained for the two Jewish la
travagant numbers.
In such mixed assemblage it wa
almost impossible to establish anythin
like sociabiltty. and the poor hostes
grew haggard with the effort. Th
Turks looked on with preternatura
gravity and bowed with exceeding pt
4 likeness on all occasions. The Persia
ambassador might have been woode
image for all the expression on hi
face. The Albanian stood in corne
in solitary grandeur. his stiftiy starche
fustanelle standing out like bale
dancers skirt. The japanese cons'
smiled and bowed right and left wit
praiseworthy impartiality. The En-
lishmen stood in a group, while Il
Greek. French and Armenian got t
gether and We're soon talking with al
nation, while the word 'parades' fe
from their lips as If money was tt
only thing worth mention. The Ru
