ADJUSTMENTS
At the Jefferson.

The decline an fall-off of musical comedies is much rapider than that of Rome. They start in fine style; in their second season they become mediocre, and their third season is something awful They do not decay in costumes or seen cry, but they become musical comedies that afford little music and less dancing "A Chinese Honeymoon" has not reached the bottom of the chute but it is headed that way. Miss Frances Golden as "Mi-Mi' sang two tuneful songs, and MT. Newbold as From Hatherton' could also sing, but the rest were not born to sing or to dance.
 In the matter of acting Miss Lillian Reed as Fife was easily the star Of the company. It is not often that an ac- tress is willing to make up for and fully act broad comedy of the Frank Daniels sort, but Miss Reed does all that, and she is the life of the play. MT. Kiernan as MT Pineapple' assists her in entertain ing the audience, but Miss Reed is easily the star of the entertainment
 The plot of the play relates to the honeymoon trip of Mr. and Mrs. Pine apple. an English couple, who have come to China. Their mishaps and troubles in the Flowery Kingdom border upon the im- probable and even the impossible. The hat boxes of the bride, for example, bore in big black letters the name of a prom inent merchant on Nineteenth street at the corner of Second avenue. But such things are considered logical and reason able in musical comedies.
 "A Chinese Honeymoon" is no worse and no better than many of .ts class. It is full of color and costumes:'it is reason able free from coarseness, and there will be two more opportunities to witness 1t today--one this afternoon and one to- night. It is full of nonsense, lun and Chinese dresses, and Eff" is alone worth going a good ways to see.

"Red Feather"

Few musical works have caused so much comment as the DeKoyen-Kleln- Cook comic opera, Red Feather which is being used as a vehicle by Grace Van Studdiford. The music of this opera is after DeI<oven's best style and is marked by his individuality in a very pleasing way; that peculiar quality which distin- guishes the composers works from com positions by other musicians is present in a large degree.
 Miss Grace Van Studdiford has never been seen to better advantage than as the Countess Hilda Won Draga She Is a picture to gaze on in the handsome cos tunes which add to her personal charm. Read Feather" will be seen next Mon day night at the Jefferson theatre

Something over q week ago Probate
Judge V Carney received letter
from o New York attorney stating that
he represented relatives Of Susan
Geary who laid claim 10 the personal
property OF the deceased woman. The
property claimed was said 10 consist
OF valuable iewelry, clothing aud bed
ding. Judge Carney wrote the attor-
ney that before his Office could take
any steps In the m alter certain expen-
ses would have To be advanced.
There has been living at the HyLer
home for some time man by the name
OF Edward Wilson and whose home
was In New York. Since the recent
death of Flyers mother Wilson has
done the house work.
The letter from the New York attor-
ney TO Judge Carney inaugurated an
investigation as result OF which Dep
u,y SherifIs Nash and Godfrey yester-
day took Wilson into custody on a
charge preferred by Hyzer tina. the
former had taken the gold watch and
800 in money from the Geary woman's
effects. Wilson's room at the Hyzer
house was searched but nothing TO i'm
plicate the man was found.
There was hearing before Judge
Bates yesterday which resulted in the
release OF Wilson and the incarcera-
ton of Hyzer on the charge OF larceny.
Hyzer is German who has lived in
Bennington for some years and has
always borne good reputation. II
he did appropriate any of the eff
fects of the Geary woman ii is gener-
ally believed that he did so through
a misapprehensio Of his rights. The
woman had boarded with him for sew
eral years and he claimed that some
thing was due him on that account.
