A SERIOUS PROPOSITION.

What Francis Wilson Thinks of the
 Business of Laugh-Making- Work
 of Years.
 Laugh-making is a serious proposl- ton, says Francis Wilson in the holl- day Dramatic News. If one could know the time, thought and labor devoted to building up scene or situation so that almost instantaneously by word or ac- tion the humorous side is conveyed to an audience, he would realize that the funny fellow on the stage has devoted hours and perhaps years of patient in- dustry to his trying part.
 It has been the custom not to con- slider really seriously the doings of the comedian, especially in comic opera and musical parts, and time and again his endeavor to create laughter by cer- tain exaggerated actions has been called horse play and dismissed with out his being given credit for thought in the matter As matter of fact he probably has devoted hours of re- hearsal, studying the cause and effect of certain methods in order to arrive at the one that will tickle the risibles of his audience and still be in keeping with the scene and the character. So- called horse play always kill hold the center of the stage because there al- ways will be demand for it. It re-
 quires as much skill to be good at
 horse play as it does to be good at anything difficult.
 There are publics and publics, and it strikes me that the situation is like this: The majority of the people who attend the theatre do so with the idea of being amused, and that which causes the most laughter appeals to them most strongly. The public which applauds the broader and more forcible fun is more numerous than that which rel ishes quieter forms of humor, There fore, comedians who achieve the broad effects have a more numerous, if a less aesthetic, following. There always will be afollowing for the skilful play CT whatever line he may take up
 The average man comes to a theatre the average banker or business man doesn't care for subtleties or the so- called art of the stage. He wants the broad effects. And the player who ap- peals to him by means of these broad

Miss Hall as Pianiste and Miss Martin
 as soloist Reveal Pianos Marvellous
 Powers
 The wonderful tone effects, tone col bring and capacities of the splendid new improved Steinertone planoforte was brought out to perfection to a de- lighted audience that filled Harmonic hall last evening to listen to the piano recital given under the auspices of the Steinertone company. The Steinertone is local product, and It's unqualified success and beautiful action, fulfilling all that has been claimed for 1t, was a matter of pride to New Haven people, as well as satisfaction to their musical capacities.
 The programme which had been ar ranged was one that was calculated to test the capabilities both of the artist and of the instrument. Miss Edna Estella Hall was revelation in her playing. She handled the keyboard with beautiful execution and technique, and her work was really of an unusual degree of excellence. Her rendition of Liszt's "Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. II, was marvellous, and so completely did her playing captivate all her hearers that the stiffness in the big hall dur ing the playing of this piece would have been broken by the sound of pin failing.
 Miss Sarah Martin, mezzo soloist, who was the vocal soloist of the even ing, was also excellent. Her solos were beautifully sung and were real treats. The solo work incidentally disclosed Che splendid capabilities of the Steiner tone for accompanying the human voice. Miss Martins rendering of the ''Meine Liebe Ist Grun," by Brahms was especially excellent.
 The programme of the recital includ- ed:
 Caprccio Brilliant, op. P, Mendelssohn,
 Miss Hall.
 (a) Nocturne, op. 9, No. 6, (b) Etude,
 Op 10, No 12, Chopin. Autumnal Gale, Grieg, Miss Martin. Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. Il, Liszt,
 Miss Hall.
 Meine Liebe ist Grun, Brahms, Miss
 Martin.
 (a) Meditation, Tschaikowsky; (b) La
 Jongleuse, Moszkowski.

 For the imperial commissioners, Tai Hung Chi, one of the most eminent scholars in the Chinese empire, and Tuan Fang, governor of the province of Human and the members of their suite the reception by the president was a fitting celebration of the Chinese new year and the commissioners expressed their appreciation of the cordiality of the greeting.

effects may be eveyy bit as skillful as the actor. who deals with the finer emotions and the intricacies of feeling.
 Bernhardt places tragedy above com edy because she holds that clown may make a countryman laugh, while it takes heart knowledge and intellec- tuality to make that rustic cry.
 But I hold that, when man plays tragedy he is more nearly his natural self as he faces the trials of daily life for life is tragedy. The man who plays comedy goes beyond himself and puts an antic disposition on. Therefore his skill as an actor is greater than the l tregedian's. Sounds logical, doesn't it?

Steamship Queen Reports Twenty-Five
 Passengers ClinGing to Rigging With
 Little Chance of Any of Them Being
 Rescued-VesseIs Unable to Get Near
 the Wreck Owing to the Heavy Sea
 Victoria, B. C., Jan. 24.-Although the latest news from the wreck of the Va lencia is conflicting, it is probable that 140 lives were lost, while only fifteen persons were saved. The report from the steamship Queen that twenty five passengers were clinging to the vessels rigging with little chance of saving any of them was followed by the story that the wreck had gone to pieces. As only fifteen survivors have been heard from so far, it is probable that the loss of life will reach 14O.
 Victoria, B. C., Jan. 24.-2;1O p. m.- The survivors of the Valencia disaster are all members of the crew, compris- ing Boatswain MacCarthy's crew, whose names were given last night and a boats crew headed by J. G, Miller, a fireman. It is not clear whether there are nine or eleven in this crew.
 Victoria, B. C., Jan. 24,-5:4O p. m.- A Bamfeld dispatch says:
 Messages demanding that boat with coal. oil and other supplies be sent to render aid has been received. The latest reports from Cape Beale say the survivors at Darling have reported that there still remain some alive aboard the ship.
 Those on the ship, it Is said, are prepared to fire line ashore as soon as the rescuers are ready to fasten 1t to a bluff for a brooches buoy support This may result in the rescue of many of those hitherto thought lost"
 Victoria, B. C., Jan. "A, 6;SO p. m.- The steamer Queen reports that when she left the wreck there were some twenty or thirty persons clinging to the rigging. The Valencia is almost sub- merged, only the after part of the hur- ricane deck being above water. There was slight hope of rescue on account of the heavy sea.
 San Francisco, Jan. 24.-A telegram to the Merchants exchange from Vic- toria says that the steamer Queen re- ports that the twenty-five or thirty passengers clinging to the rigging on the Valencia appeared to be mostly women. The steamer City of Topeka is near the wreck, but owing to the heavy sea is unable to send boats to the persons still aboard. It is thought the sea will moderate enough by tomorrow morning to permit succor to reach those on board if they can maintain their positions
