october 2Sth, l9Uo.
Mr.. +. M. Hogan, Acting Secretary,
Goldfeld Volunteer Fire Department,
Goldfeld, New:
Dear Sir-Your favor of the Goth
instant advising me that the Volunteer
Fire department, at their regular meet
ing held October "a unanimously de
cided to postpone their dance which
was to have been held on the evening
of October 31st owing to the fact that
the Ladies' Aid society proposed to
give a dance on that evening, and that
they did not want to conflict with our
society in any way, is received.
The ladies of the society greatly ap-
preciate the gallantry which the Volun-
teer Fire department has shown in this
matter, and regret exceedingly that
there should have been any clash in
dates for their respective dances. We
think that the fire department has
shown its m%anliness by chivalrously
withdrawing from the field for the
present and giving the Ladies' Aid
society the exclusive use of the even
ing in question, and through you, de-
sire to thank the Volunteer Fire de-
partment very sincerely for their ae-
ton
We trust that you will advise us of
the date of your. dance, and would ask
to be permitted to assist in the way
of serving refreshments, or in any
other waJ you may suggest, to make
the Fire Dance a grand success.
With best wishes, / am, yours very
truly, MRS. E. t. PATRICK,

Joseph and William Jefferson.

Undoubtedly one fo the best high-class comedy presentations of the season, will be given Saturday afternoon and night at the Jefferson theatre. when "The Ri- Vals" will be presented, with Joseph Jeff erson and William w. Jefferson in the east.
 The late Joseph Jefferson took up Sher- idan's Rivals in 1876 and altered and condensed it to meet the requirements of modern theatregoers who. as he explain ed, had become adverse to abundant dia- logues unless it reveals plot and who demanded entertainment for the eye rather than for the ear. The production met with success and in 1878 he was in- vited to produce 1t with the other great plays at the big Dramatic Festival in Cincinnati. The late MT Jefferson played Bob Acres over twenty-five years. That he always liked the character and that his heart and soul were In the produc- ton of it is evident from the follow ing extract from his autobiography.
 This comedy kept running in my head of late years with almost the same per sistence that Rip Van Winkle' had done in the olden time. Bob, too. was an attractive fellow to contemplate Sheri- dan had filled him with such quaintness and eccentricity that he became to me irresistible. l would often think of him

in the middle of the night. At odd times, when there was apparently no reason for him to call, he would pop up before mo like an old acquaintance-for I had acted him years before-but always with a new expression on his face. The variety of sit- nations in which the author had placed him; his arrival in town with his shallow head full of nonsense and curl papers, and his warm heart, overflowing with love for an heiress who could not endure
 in the country because he used to dress so badly; a nature soft and vain, with a strong mixture of goose and peacock; his aping of the fashion of the town, with an unmistakable survival of rural manners: his swagger and bragdadocio while writing a challenge, and above all the abject fright that falls upon him when he relaizes what he has done-could the eXacting heart of a Comedian ask for more than these? Surely. here was tho best material to work out that l could de- sire. l had acted the part a quarter of a century before, and possibly I may have bundered by a kind of intuition into some of the effects which now occur to me- but I am quite sure that at that time I could not have reproduced them from night to night with any certainty. I will not say that the methods by which I treated the various phases of the char acter were all thought out previous to its revival Some of them came to me after. and many at the time of their re presentation: for during the late run or the comedy I had acted Acres at least a dozen times before I had hit upon satisfactory effect with which to end the second act, and even then it did not strike me until the very moment of its execution

"How Baxter Butted ln."

The story of "How Baxter Butted ln,' Vance and Sullivan's new production Of Owen Davis musical comedy and melo- drama" which will be the offering for this week al the Bjou, Is as complete and as dramatic as though the musical com edy features were absent. It Is the claim of the management that How Bax- ter Butted fn'' appeal not only to lovers of good high class melodrama, but to those who enjoy vaudeville and musical comedy entertainments.
 Baxter Is a commercial traveller and in the course of business drifts into country hotel in little town In Yer mont. In this hotel he meets a young girl. This girl, In defending the good name of her brother, who is accused of a theft. is turned out of doors and pulp licly disgraced before the whole village. This is where Baxter butts in." and he butts in to such a good purpose that the girl and her brother are restored to their former place In the esteem of their neigh bors and the persona who have connlyed and plotted against them arc caught and punished, BaXter's victory over ths young girls enemies Is only won after

comedy opera, he has won fame as the author of '"rhe Little Tycoon" and Princess Bonnie.' Both were more than ordinarily successful and MT. Spenser is said to be the recipient of the bigger roy alties than any other man in the pro- fession In this latest success of his he occupies an enviable position, for he has written both the play and the music for II. This, in itself, Is quite an achievement. and the success the opera has attained should make MT. Spenser the happiest of men,
 It is not often that a play or opera possesses such mreit that 1t is capable of sustaining two different runs of 125 nights each, outside of New York, but this Miss Bob White" has done, and that in Phil adelphia, too. The brightness and beauty of the opera appeal to the most blase theatregoers and the favor with which 1t was received everywhere indicates clearly that MT. Spenser, in following clean methods, avoiding risque scenes and speeches, has struck the keynote to suc- cess in the comic opera field.
 The theme is also well and brilliantly treated and the versatile brain of the author and composer has peeed together an effort which cannot fail to impress all theatregoers

cast that received the praise of the New York press and public will be seen in the production when here. The two principal parts will be filled by James Lackaye and Ray l.. Royce, who are credited by the New York papers with making of these two great parts examples of the actors art brought to perfection.
 Charles B. Hanford's tour opened Sep tember 26, at Newport News, Va. His repertory includes those standard plays with which he has been for years insep- arably identified, with one such produc- tion such as it is his custom to make each season. MT Hanford will be seen as tragedian in "Othello," as a char acter interpreter in ''The Merchant of Venice" and a comedian in The Tanning of the Shrew." In accordance with his custom of making at least one new pro- duction each season, MT. Hanford will also present the romantic classic lingo mar" It Is doubtful whether any series of plays could have been selected better qualified to reveal at their best the vari- ous phases of Mir. Hanfords exceptional abilities He has made the classic drama his especial study and the entire United States his territory for the exploitation of the greatest works that the drama has produced In cities too numerous TOT him 10 reach in single tour. cities wnicn dot the map from ocean to ocean anu from Canada to the gulf, MT. Hanford IS esteemed as the representative interpre- ter of certain roles which have tested the powers of the greatest actors Of the world.
 Maude Adams has started rehearsals in Peter Pan," the J. M. Barrie play in which she is to be presented this season. It calls for an elaborate production and 1t will be made remarkably effective and picturesque. Over seventy people will appear in the cast. Mr Barrie Is coming to witness the first production.

 The little animals who fit across the pages of the Jim Crow Tales are very distinctive and are drawn in such a truth ful way that the reader feels he is of the woods, nay, feels one with MT Cutler, the beaver, MT Long Ears, the rabbit, MT, Terrible Claws, the snow owl and other equally interesting animals and birds that make up the citizenship of the forest.

 "The breathless assemblage, as the captain gives the word fire, hold their breath, expecting deafening detonation. But all they hear is the feeble click, click of the falling hammers or the un- loaded guns They look about ready to laugh, ready to hoot, ready to boo.

Rules By Louis James.

Louis James, the eminent actor, who at the age of 63 does not look a day over 50, was asked the other day how he re- tained his virilty, youthful disposition and appearance? His reply was: "Youth and vitality can be retained by the ob- servance of two things-temperance and regularity, and l may also add keep in the sunlight, nothing beautiful or sweet grows or ripens in the darkness.
 Avoid fear in all it's varied forms of expression. 1t is the greatest enemy of the human race.
 Avoid excesses of all kinds; they are injurious. The long life must be a tenn perate, regular one.
 Don't live to eat but eat to live Many of our ills due to overeating, to eat ing the wrong things and irregular eat ing.
 Don't allow yourself to think of your birthday that you are year older and so much nearer the end.
 Never look on the dark side; take sunny views of everything, a sunny thought drives away the shadows. Above all-work for work Is the best thing to make us love life and remember. every man Is valued in thls world he shows by his conduct that he wished to be valued

many exciting adventures, and before his final success he has quite captured the hearts of all the young people of the town.
 The part of Baxter is a complex char acter study and demands an actor who is equally at home in strong dramatic scenes and in comedy. At one moment Baxter is denouncng the villain or de- lending the girl he has grown to love, and at the next he is leading the large company in q complicated musical num- Der, or playing trick upon the pretty village girls. In securing for this part MT. Sidney Toler, the management con- slider themselves doubly fortunate, as MT. Toler is not only widely experienced and well-known leading man but has also been a favorite member of Frank Daniels musical company and is well qualified in every way to make Baxter" famous stage character

this season comprises 1.-The Merchant of Venice" "The Tanning of the Shrew," and Twelfth Night" The productions for these plays are probably the hand somest ever used by any Shakesperean organization.
 Ethel Barrymore is winning new tri- umphs and playing to enormous business on her tour to the coast in Sunday" Everywhere she has scored as strongly as she did in Cousin Kate" last year.
 John Drew, who has made the greatest triumph in his career in Augustus Thomas comedy, 'De Lancey,' at the Empire theatre. New York, will be obliged to leave that house earlier than usual this season, owing to arrangements for Miss Maude Adams production of Peter Pan" which takes place in November; Charles Frohman. however, appreciates the completeness of MT. Lew's success and he will not permit him to leave New York, but will transfer him to one of his other theatres where he can continue to present the Thomas comedy. Crowded houses have been the rule at the Empire since the first night of this play and MT. Drew's admirers have been enthusiastic in their declaration that the favorite ac- tor never had a more satisfactory Drew part. The dialogue. teens with humor and wit and in every scene MT. Drew has an abundance of brilliant things to say. He is also literally provided with oppor- tunities for love-making and in all these situation acquits himself with the skill and cleverness of which he is the pos sessor.
 William Ingersoll has been engaged for the part of yivekanundrum in the musical play, 'Moonshine." in which Miss Marie Cahili stars this season. 1ngersoll has been hiding in stock company r:. P1ttsburg for the past four years, and made his last New York appearance in Home Folks" in which he had a lead ing character. It has been discovered that Ingcrsoll has good singing voice, and he indulges 1t with the melodious accompaniment of Silvio Heln's music in the new piece.
