Before Bronson Howard became a
prosperous playwright, he was first
class newspaper man on the New
Ork tribune, III the udyS WHSIl tie
editorial staff included such men as
Ripley, Bayard Taylor and John Hay,
the present Secretary of State. AT a
recent Saturday night shop talk" of
the Dramatists' Club, Mr.. Howard
struck into peculiarly interesting vein
of personal "reminiscences; and among
the anecdotes of Secretary Hay, which
doubtless that rising diplomatist would
willingly let die, he related the follow
ing:
Back in the '7Os, when the notorius
Jim" Fisk was colonel of the Ninth
Regiment, National Guard, state of
New York, that militia organization
made a sensational "foray" into New
England. Striking Boston on a Sun
day morning, the colonel put his COM
mand through a sort of prayer drill
on the Common, which made a nine
days Newspaper sensation throughout
the country. The next day the New
York Tribune published the following
epigram, which everybody knew was
from the pen Of the then irrepressible
John Hay:
THE devil trembles when he sees
The meanest saint upon his knees.
Imagine what he must have felt
When Jim on Boston Common knelt;
For surely neer was known to him
A meaner saint than Col. Jim"

PLAYS THAT HOLD IN
NEW YORK

Sweet Kitty Bellairs" is Belasco's
Of Mrs. Leslie Carter, as Mr.. Berasco's
regular winter offer, Sweet Kitty Bel
lairs" is founded on Egerton Castles
novel, The Bath Comedy" although
the dramatist has given himself the
greatest latitude in invention of scenes,
text and characters.
Maxine Elliott, with a fine support,
is creating a sensation at the Savoy
Theater in Her Own Way" The
play deserves the generous applause
given it to say nothing of Miss Ell
liotts beauty and her gowns, said to
be the handsomest ever brought to
America.
Anna Held made one of the greatest
hits of her theatrical career when she
produced for the first time in New
York, Mile. Napolean" at the Knick-
erbOcker Theater last week. The lia-
loSue and the stage setting of the play
are far superior to recent Broadway
productions, and the music is bright
and tuneful. A long and successful
engagement is predicted for Mile. Ma
poleon."
Charles Frohman is presenting at The
Garden Theater, as bright and attrac-
tive a little opera as theatergoers Of
ten witness. Tuneful music, happy
faces, pretty costumes are the predomi-
mating features of the opera. The song
THE Miller's Daughter" has proven
one of the successes of the season,
and on the streets, ferry boats, cars.

and sung.
Crowded houses nightly greet Maude
Adams in her sweet, pathetic portray
ell of The Pretty Sister of Jose" at
the new Empire Theater. Mr. Froh-
man has made a wise choice in the Sc
lection of a play that so well shows
off Miss Adams ability. Miss Adams is
far and away the most popular actress
on the American stage.
THE Red Feather" with Grace
Van Studdiford and Thomas Sea-
brook is drawing crowds to the Lyric
Theater. Without doubt the music is
far in advance of the general order
of comic opera music. Magnificent
costumes and pretty girls make a
beautiful picture. A long run is pre-
dicted for THE Red Feather" A
feature of this attraction is Mile.
Guerrero and her beautiful dancing.
The greatest success of the present
season is probably Ethel Barrymore in
"Counsin Kate" at the Hudson Thea
ter. This theater, conceded to be one
of the handsomest in the country, is a
fitting home for the clean, pure, drama.
William Gillette in The Admirable
Crichton" at the New Lyceum Theater
is drawing crowded houses. The play
abounds in clever dialogue and sup

fair to rival his former success "Sher-

Founders Night" in memory of Ed
win Booth, which The Players hold on
New Years Eve, really is that club s
Christmas celebration, says Gustave
Kobbe in the Century. No visitors
are permitted in the club house that
night, and, standing before the fire
place, as Booth did ON the New Years
Eve he presented his house to the club,
a member makes a commemorative adj
dress. which ends on the stroke of II,
when the loving cup is passed around
and drunk to the memory of America s
greatest tragedian who was the found
er of the club.
The Twelfth Night Club, which is the
principal actresses club in the coun-
try always celebrates Christmas with
a tree and a spread" The members
and their guests are seated around a
large board table, notices suitable to
the festival are burnt into wood about
the room; there are two kegs of ale
and a boar's head on the table, and a
large Yule candle is burning in the
center. Always thete is a large seed

WITH MUSICIANS
AND MUSICAL PEOPLE.

an orchestra in Atlanta similar to the
Savannah Music Club Orchestra. The
musical interest, which at one time
was very great there, seems to have
been at a low ebb of late. 1t would
be a very excellent plan if clubs SIM
liar to the Savannah Music Club, run
on the same lines, could be organized
in several other Southern cities-Rich-
mond, Raleigh, Charleston, Macon.
Augusta and Atlanta. In such an event
there could be an intercourse between
the various clubs by members visit
ing each others clubs and a wide and
generous interest in music could thus
be worked up throughout the South.
The great artists and numbers of them
could be engaged each season to ap-
pear before each club in turn on one
tour. AS it is now, the Savannah Mu-
sic Club is the only one of it's kind in
the South, and through it alone are
the great artists brought to this part
of the country. In most of the cities
mentioned it would probably be diff
cult work getting up such organiza-
lions, but start would have to be
made and patience exercised until the
desired end was accomplished. The
Savannah Music Club was organized
in 1895 with sixteen members, and for
two years had a membership not
ABOVE lnlrty-nVe. II appeared then
difficult to find that numbers of pat
rons here fitted musically to become
active members (there were only ac-
tive members them, but as time wore
on talent was improved, and to-day
there are $50 active members in the
club. Those who organized it worked
hard and waited patiently for the
eventual accomplishment of the end
in view and their labor and patience
have been amply rewarded. The same
could be done in other places if a few
faithful and energetic ones would only
take hold of the matter.

Thursday evening at the second
meeting of the Music Club in Decem-
Der the chorus under the dictatorship
of Miss Emma E. Coburn will make
it's first appearance this season. Like
the appearances of the orchestra, the
announcement that the chorus will ap-
pear on programme always attracts
large audience, and the chances are
that the hall will be as crowded on
Thursday evening as it was when the
orchestra played last month. The
chorus is one of the most important
and interesting features of the club.
and Miss Coburn deserves the highest
praise for the persevering and faithful
efforts which she has exerted in it's be-
half. She organized it four years ago
with but sixteen voices, and it now
numbers above sixty. She has carried
1t safely across many rough and dis
couraging places, and has presented
with it to the members of the club
and their guests some of the most en-
joyable features of the club To-day it
stands on a firm foundation, and is
the strongest and best trained chorus
that has ever existed here. This sea-
son Miss Coburn will be assisted by
Miss Lola Moynelo at the piano, whilst
she herself will direct the works given
with baton. Rhearsals are already
in progress for the Oratoria Elijah.
which will be given in the spring. This
in itself is the most pretentous work
ever undertaken by a chorus here, and
Miss Coburn is sure to make with it
the same success which she has made
with other works she has drilled the
chorus in and directed. Excerps from
this will probably be given by the So
loists arriving next month.
A number of much interest for next
Thursdays programme will be a sonata
for violin and piano, played by Mr..
A. c. Meyer and Miss Coburn. 1t
is not often that Mr.. Meyer can APP
does he always attracts many admir-
ing listeners to his artistic violin per-
formances.
Mrs. w. P. Bailey, chairman of the
Programme Committee of the Music
Club, has been confined to her house
during the past week with a severe
cold, but will probably be out again
tomorrow. Mrs. Bailey is assisted in
the arrangement of the programmes
of the club by two capable and ener-
getic workers in the persons of Mrs.
]. r. Kaefer and Mrs. L. A. Bowers
who have been attending to the work
of the department during the past
week. The excellent programme of
the club during this and other past
seasons has been largely due to the
careful attention given to that branch

Rock Island Secures Compromise of

Chicago, Oct. Western railroads
have settled their differences regarding
mileage and rate questions, and the
chances are fair for the ultimate re-
turn of the Rock Island to member
ship in the Western Passenger assoe1a-
ton and restoration of harmony.
The mileage question was settled by
the amalgamation of the three existing
mileage bureaus. and the adoption of
three milage tickets, which will result
in test of the merits of the credential
system.
The Rock Island further agreed to
take out the IS rate between Chicago
and st. Paul on October Is, the other
lines to withdraw the rate tomorrow.
