HOPPER IN A NEW FIELD.
Musical Comedian Will Now Take to
Light Plays and Farces.

When DeWolf Hopper began his ca.
reer as player some time between
the date of the discovery of America
and the Sioux war, he appeared in
plays of the legitimate order and gave
promise of becoming a comedian of
much ability. Later Hopper got side
tracked into the operate field, ad.
vanced some distance, and ever after
ward stood still. Taking his cue
from Lillian Russell, whose appear.
ance in 'Barbara's Millions" will mark
her first attempt in comedy unadul-
terated with music, Hopper will, after
this season, devote his time and tai
ents entirely to comedy and farce.
Many of Hopper's friends believe
he should have taken this step a long
time ago, for none of his recent ve-
hicles has carried him very far for
ward. He will say farewell to song
and dance in Wang" and Happy
land"

PASSING OF THE GREENROoM.
Gathering Place for Actors on the
Stage Done Away With.

Greenrooms practically have been
| out OF existence for ten or 10 years.
so the younger generation scarcely
knows the meaning of the word. The
latest instance of a greenroom in Chi
cago was at the Iroquois, but after
| that theater was burned the fire or.
dinance compelled the management to
change that part which was devoted
to the greenroom to an exit at the
present Colonial 1t is a remarkable
coincidence that fire also DESTROYED
one OF the last existing greenrooms in
Chicago-the one in the old Columbia.
The original greenroom was at
Drury Lane theater, and was built as
a reception room to members of roy
atty who could step from their box
TO the greenroom and meet the actors.
Players received other friends there.
TOO, ana chatted and talked with fel.
low players during the performance.
Rehearsals also were conducted in
the greenrooms, and new plays were
read TO the members of the COMPANY
there by the stage producer. Actors.
after making up, would go to the
greenroom before the performance
where the stage manager would look
them over, and if anything was amiss
they were compelled to go back to
their dressing rooms and change il.
In those days, when the play was apt
to be changed every night, a prompt.
er and call boy were essential. The
call boy would go to the greenroom
and call for the player who was to
make the next entrance.
One Of the reasons the greenroom
has been done away with is the fact
that plays have such long runs that
an actor is not dependent on a call
boy, and by frequent repetition the
actor is able to time his entrance ex !
actly. An actor may be lounging in
his dressing room until he hears
certain sound on the stage which he
uses as cue, and he will get ready
for his entrance

The everyday name used by them is
an old one. Years ago it was adopted
by band of enthusiasts whose ply

much derision from the more staid de.
nominations. The practice of the Wau-
kesha holiness band is the practice
of the old holiness bands run riot to
such an extent as to make them vir
tually new thing in religion.
Duke NJ. Farson, probably the most
extraordinary figure in religion in the
country, stands at the head of the
Jumpers" by virtue of his energetic
work for many years along holiness"
lines. Mr.. Farson started life as
bank clerk and graduated into the
bond business in Chicago. He amassed
a fortune and built up a business that
produced an income equal to the inter

Jumpers" 1t is doubtful if there is
an athlete who can perform the phys
ical feats done daily by many of the
members Of this congregation. No
sooner is the fervor of the congregs-
ton fired by the singing than the
jumping begins. The word jumping
is not used fgura lively. Dozens and
sometimes scores of the worshipers
break into a perpendicular dance,
which consists Of jumping straight up
and down with most marvellous rapid

but clean, flat-footed jump with both

Leaders Fear No Want.
Two weeks ago check for 81, 500
was received from a man who ap-
proved the work, and the bills are be-
ing paid out of that. Where the next
money is to come from the Jumpers"
do not know, but they are sublimely
confident that it will come in as need
ed. There are no private purses. If
a member of the band needs clothes
he or she is provided out of the gen
eral fund. The bills due tradesmen
and supply dealers are paid first, and
if there is anything left it goes into
the work, the personal needs of the
band being considered last. Besides

supplied.
Physical persecution of the Jump.

%, when a band of nearly 100 young
men of Waukesha swooped down on
the camp meeting tent near the Foun.
tain Spring house. They were sup.
piled with rocks, vegetables and over.
due eggs. The tent was surrounded
and the congregation attacked with
missiles. The Jumpers" made no
physical resistance, although several
of the men were hit by rocks and
many of the women had their gar.
ments badly torn.
Mrs. Z. l.. Harvey is the treasurer
of the organization, and she receives
and disburses all moneys and sup.

JAPANESE NATION OF WORKERS
Everybody Manages to Keep Busy in

Everybody in Japan appears to
do work of some kind; is it a coun-
try without beggars, without drunk
ards, and all are polite and good
natured. Nothing is heard or seen
OF the effect of the recent war.
The people neither talk about it nor
have they become overbearing or in
any manner intoxicated by their great
victories, but have quietly gone to
work to develop their industries, to
increase their commerce and trade.

markets which the success of their
armies has opened for them

a football rush and a red hot politi-

the services have been held in a
huge tent in the field just below the
hotel, but this winter the grand din
ing-room will serve the purpose. In
the tent the orchestra consists of an
upright piano played by an elderly
man, bass drum played by large
boy, and snare drum presided over
by a small boy. There is also a man
who leads the singing until it gets
well under way. After that nobody
leads. Although there is no arbitrary
rule to that effect, the women Of the
congregation are seated on one side
of the tent and the men on the other,

AARON BURR JURY.
IT'S SELECTION WAS A LONG, TIE.
DIoUs PROCESS.
Tate of the Defendant Rested in the
Hands of Those Who Were His
Avowed Enemies-Chosen by
Burr Himself.

Only four of the first panel of As
talesmen summoned for jury duty had
undecided opinions about Burr and
only one of those four expressed him
self as entirely unprecedented concern
ing him. The other A were so IT.
reconcilably hostile that the court
promptly discharged them and another
panel was summoned, says a writer in
Harper's Magazine. This second lot.
however, was worse than the first and
| the situation grew more and more
serious as the sitting process con-
tinued one candidate after another ex-
pressed open hostility and even hatred

OF securing an impartial jury had al

OF Morrison took the stand who. it was
believed, would prove an exception to
the rule. This gentleman had appar-
entity kept an open mind on the sub
Ject of the prisoners innocence or
guilt and was willing to serve as a
Juror-almost too willing it seemed to
the defense-and Mr.. Bolts rose TO
cross-eXamine.

counsel.
Yes; | have two patents for land"
answered the candidate.

examiner

Have you another at home to make

the attorney and the audience laughed.

talesman, angrily. Il am surprised
there should be SO much terror to me-"
he continued, addressing the audience;
but perhaps my name may be a ter
ror, he added. his voice rising to a
shout. for my name is Hamilton"
This unprecedented" candidate was
then excused and for IA days the
weary search continued without sue
cess. Not one impartial citizen was
discovered in the entire second panel:
and at this juncture the proceedings
were brought to standstlll After
some discussion, however, the defense
suggested that it be allowed to select
anyone it chose from the last panel
and the acceptance of this unique
paved the way for one of
the most startling moves in this ex-
trial
Strictly speaking not one of the pro-
posed jurors was eligible to seat in
the jury box, but OF course some of
them were less bitter against the de-
PENDANT than others and it was ma
tural to suppose that Burr's advisers
would take advantage of that fact and
choose the best Of a bad lot Nothing
so commonplace, however, character
lied their plans and to the utter
of all outsiders Burr pro-
ceeded TO nominate the most objec-

as this surprising maneu-
yer must have been to the general
public, it was, of course, instantly
comprehended by the opposing coun.

LEAVE STAGE FOR FARM.
Andrews Brothers. Swiss Bell Ringers,
Retire to Fruit Ranch.

Country born and farm bred as
! boys, William T. Andrews and Edward
| Andrews, two of the original members
Of the once famous Andrews Opera
| company, are to abandon the stage for
farm life. They have bought fruit
ranch near Medford, Ore, and will
give personal supervision to its man
agement.
They were brought up on a farm
near the village of Ottawa, a few miles
north Of ST. Peter MINI. Their father
was a Methodist minister, and it is
doubtful whether any of the five
brothers ever received a lesson in
music, but all had fine voices. Ed An
drews for years was regarded as an
excellent comedian.
The first theatrical venture of the
brothers was made by Charles An
drews Associated with him was
Henry Moll of st. Peter. now Judge of
the probate court of Nicollet county.
During the last year of the civil war
called THE Recruiting Officer he
appearing in this role.
Judge Mol took the character of a
green German anxious to enlist in the
army, but now denies that he ever
possessed histrionic ability. One of
the partners owned a horse and the
other a carriage, and for three years
they gave their play at all the school
entertainments in Nicollet and lie
Suer counties.
Then Arthur French, successful
farmer near Lake Emily, laid the
foundation for the Andrews troupe by
organizing the Andrews family Of
Swiss bell ringers. This aggregation
was composed of Will, Oliver, Edward
and George Andrews, and in their
gaudily painted tallyho they Travelled
over the states of Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin. Oliver Andrews, after
leaving the troupe, became a district
judge in South Dakota, but ne was re-
placed by Charles Andrews, who gave
up the practice of law to return to
the states.
For four or five years they appeared
as the Swiss bell ringers, and the sue
cess they achieved led the the brothers
to form the Andrews Opera company
1t prospered from the outset, and soon
the singers owned their private car
and were carrying an expensive as.
sortment of stage settings and other
theatrical paraphernalia. They Wis !
tied all parts of the United States, |
and for more than a quarter of a cen
fury their company never missed a
season.
Then the decline began, and ill-for. |
tune followed them like a Nemesis. |
First Charles Andrews was accidental |
~ killed in the railway yards at Elgin, !
ILL.,, and few years later Mrs. Edward /
Andrews was burned to death in a
wreck on the Northern Pacific.
In an effort to recoup the losses
these tragedies they planned /
q gigantic amusement enterprise. Sc
Letting Waterville as their base. they
erected a magnificent hotel and be-
gan exploiting Lake Tetonka as a sum-
mer resort. Celebrated chautauua
speakers were engaged, and the opera
gave performances in a
specially constructed theater, but
their fortune was swept away.
Three years ago the Andrews Opera
passed out of existence Will
and George Andrews retired from the
stage, and this season Edward fol.
