WITH A CHORUS IN PAJAMAS.
1.-The Fisher Maiden" From the Country
Plcsses At Hammerstein's.

Rus was in urbe all right at Hammer
STEMS Victoria last evening, coming with
simplicity that brought its own charm,
that of freshness. There was dew on the
grass and the statement goes, even II
Gotham's only Oscar has to acknowledge
that his pl ayhouse has become a field Of
the author and the cast OF "The Fisher
Maiden" to disport themselves upon.
The audience, which filled the house,
demanded as many encores as j. p. Sousa
is accustomed to give OF his best beloved
marches, and the Won Tilzer Opera Com
pany responded readily, to meet with re-
newed plaudits The audience clamored
for the author, after the first of the two
acts, and Arthur j. Lamb, responding
declared the moment OF his emergence from
the wings the happiest of his life. He
had shrlnk from to bring a country COM
pany to New York, and he cherished the
hope that the auditors enjoyed the show as
thoroughly as they seemed to do. The
music of the piece is credited to Harry
Won Tilzer.
"The Fisher Maiden is a merry, musical
play, full Of iridescent pictures, and Of
such charming chorIses that it seems a
| pity thcre are solos. The costuming has
a novel attraction, and discloses the Oscar
as having become shy Of legs, exposed
| above the knee. Instead, he shows slken
pajamas on singing maidens.
4 comic opera? Let the play bill say
that THE Fisher Maiden" is a Broad
way diversion, and Weber & Fieldss the
Casino or the New York will have pieces
OF it yet. IL has pleasing airs, and aLet
the Band Play Pleasing Tune" may one
day drive out "Hawatha."

HEARTS COURAGEOUS"
HALLE Erminis Rives's Newell Put Upsn
the stage.

ssSAAs0 EruInIo WJvoeo Nov0l tut Up00
the stage.
At the Broadway Theatre last night
Hearts Courageous . dramatisation Of
the popular novel OF the same title by Halle
Erminie Rives, was brought forward. This
dramatization was begun and carried almost
to completion by Franklin Fyles. who was
then taken seriously III and compelled to
abandon the work. It was finished by
Ramsay Morris, whose name proceeded that
OF Mr.. Fyles on the programme last night.
Those who arc familiar with Miss Rives's
novel must have foreseen the difficulties
which would beset the path Of any dramatist
undertaking to turn the work into the
typical dramatization Of current theatrical
commerce. A canvas thronged with great
historical portraits or. rather. portraits Of
historical personages more or less his
torically represented. is we'll enough to
look upon, but is hard to put into play.
The dramatists saw trouble enough In
reproducing Lord Fairfax, the Marquis de
Lafayette ard Patrick Henry. They con-
tented themselves with letting ONE Of their
characters talk about George Washington,
were wise enough to keep as close a. yhey
could to the love story Of the Marquis de In
Rouerie the emissary Of the King OF France.
The first act of the drama moved some
what slowly, but In the second came the
extract from the famous Patrick Henry
speech, effectively acclaimed by W. B
Hart. who on the whole did about the best
and realistic duel between the Marquis
and very forbiddipg Tory. They fought
all over a room and out one door and In
another, 30 that the gallery was deeply
moved.
In the third act there was brilliant
ball at the Governors house, and here
scene OF the fourth act the audience saw
the hall outside the room in which the
Declaration OF Independence was signed

"sPENDERS" NOT A GREAT PLAY.
Slight Incidents Thinly Spread Over Four
Acts--Only One Of Them Good.

Given William H. Crane in the part Of a
benevolent old man, with warm heart and
a limitlsss pocketbook. thrown among
people whose pocketbooks are problemati-
cal and whose hearts are distinctly mer-
cenary, and there are the elements Of "The
Spenders' as it was produced at the Savoy
last evening. Founded on the book OF the
same name, the play did not rise above its
source, and had some less capable per-
former than Mr.. Crane been cast in the
part Of Peter Rines, the rich mine owner,
there would have been no good words for
the production.
AS it was, the plot of the story was spread
out very thinly through four acts. which
showed Montana mining camp Long
Island country place, a golf club and room
in a New York hotel. The Incidents had
TO be carried with care to make them last
to tho final curtain, and only when Mr..
Crane himself was on the stage was there
any action worthy of the name.
lucille Flaven, as Arice, the heroine
who struggles against her education and
her family in her love for Peter Percipdl
Bines George s. Spencer was good to
look upon and at times really seemed to
feel her part. Charles Crawford was good
as Cecil Mduburn, the English lover In
the play, az was Percy Brooke as Billy
Bruce. Anna Caverley was Florence
Akemit, Marie Bingham Mrs. Bines, Mrs.
/. Darling Mrs. Van Gist and Rachel Stirling
Mrs. Mi'brey.
The cas-. was completed by John Flood
as Ruion Shepler, moderate CROUCH vii
lain; George Deveva and j. Reese Davies as
provincial New Workers.; Freeman Barnes
rs Fred Milbrey; William Wray, Gabrielle
Ravenelle and Olive May.
Mr.. Crane made a little speech in which
he said no dog had bitten the play yet. II
may be accepted as an average OF kind,
with one good actor in 1t.

AN AMERICAN DERELIcT.
After Being Struck by a Ty-
phoon on Japanese Coast.

San Francisco, Jan. 3-The Ameri-
car ship st. David is drifting about
the north Pacific, dismasted and short
of provisions. The japanese liner
America Maru, which has reached
port from the orient, spoke the ship
off the japanese coast, December II.
The st. David is bound from Manila
for Tacoma, in ballast. Capt. Going
sent a boatload of provision to the
ST. David and took off n man, Har-
ry John Johnson. Johnson said that
at Manila Capt. Harrington had given
up the command of the St. David to
Capt. Ryder, who understood that the
ship was provisioned to reach Tacoma.
A few days ago they found that there
were practically no provisions on
board. When so days out from Manila
and only about eighty-fye miles off
the japanese coast, a typhoon struck
them.
With the men all starving and the
sessel in a bad way, eight days passed
before the America Maru hove in
sight. With fresh provisions Capt.
Ryder thought he might be able to
get the vessel to Yokohama for re-
pairs.

THE BAND CUT ICE.
Wanted to BE Set to Work
at Once.

One winter when the First United States
cavalry was stationed in Montana the
bandmaster went to the commander of the
post, Gen. Culver Grover, and reported
that the members of the band had been or
dered to help cut ice, relates the Detroit
Free Press. He said. "Sheneral, they did
not enlist us to cut ice, but TO make moosic.
The commanding officer called the adJutant
and on his approach said: Mr.. Adjutant,
Mr.. Schmidt wishes the band excused from
ice fatigue; be says they enlisted to make
music Mr.. Schmidt, bowling to the com
handing officer, said; Yes, %sheneral, to
make moosic." The commanding officer
taen said: Mr.. Adjutant, the band will
be excused from ice fatigue" Mr.. Schmidt
bowed himself out, saying: Thank you,
sheneral; thank you, sheneral." But, y
continued the commanding officer, as the
door closed, Mr.. Adjutant, the band will
take post on the bluff overlooking the river
and will make music while the rest of the
command cut ice" The weather was in
tensely cold, and as a matter of course it
was impossible for the players TO make a
sound, their breathing freezing on their
instruments. The bandmaster again hur-
ried to the commanding officer and said:
''Sheneral, it IS impossible to make
meosic; the band would rather cut ice"
Very well, Mr.. Schmidt, just as you wish"
replied the commanding officer, and, CALI
ing the adjutant, he said: MIR. Adjutant,
the band will cut ice.

TWO ENGINE CREWS KILLED.
A Railroad Accident in Vernon
Adds Four Names to the Death
List and Injuries Many More.

Burlington, VT, Jan. "a wild en-
CINE, running from Burlington to
Rutland, on the Rutland railroad,
crashed into the north-bound flyer
from New York, Friday night, at Shell
burne. The erews of both engines
were killed and a brakeman who was
riding on the wild engine was proba-
bly, fatally hurt, and nearly every one
of the flyers crew was injured more
or less seriously. No passenger was
seriously hurt, although many re-
ceived bruises.
The impact of the collision was ter
rible, and only the heaviness of the
flyer prevented a greater disaster. AS
it was, both engines were totally de-
molished, the boiler of one exploding
with a terrific report.
