 CHATTER 

condition at the Lancaster hotel. MT Leech has been one of w. A. Brady's stars for several seasons.
 II:
 The Magic Circle, a club composed of the leading professional and ama- teur conjurers in London, gave its first seance a few days ago at St Georges hall. The audience was
 made up almost entirely of experts
 in sleight-of-hand, and dozen of the
 cleverest members of the club put forth their best efforts to entertain the audience of sharp-eyed critics.
 First honors fell to Nate Leipsig, who
 halls from the States, and accord ing to cabled reports of the affair he made his English co-workers stare in open-eyed amazement at his re-
 markable feats of palming. Conjur-
 ing, by the way, has taken fashiona-
 ble London by storm, and every ma
 gician who has a passable turn can
 get all the work he wants at private
 houses.
 These are troublesome times for
 the dramatic writers. The Cleveland
 Leader was recently sued for $10,000
 libel because its dramatic editor, MT Sage, paid his respects to Olga Meth ersole. An actor playing Marks the lawyer in Uncle Toms Cabin," in Brantford, Canada, was so incensed over the criticism that he hit the dramatic editor of local paper with bottle of ink. He spent day in jail and paid $25 fine. The critic of the Rocky Mountain News in Denver got into trouble last week with the management of burlesque company and is suffering with bruised arm. Because a paper printed that the new theater in Tulsa, Indian Territory, was unsafe, one of the stage hands waylaid the editor and he is now in the hospital Pretty soon the edi- tors offices will have to be converted into arsenals.
 Manager s. z. Poli, the Springfield, Mass, hospital and Springfield soci- ety had a red-letter night April 16, when the benefit for which MT Poli rendered his theater and players was held. The receipts, close to $26,00O, established record in the state for theater benefits. Boxes sold for $1,- 900 and seats all the way down to S3. The bill was the Hungarian Boys band, Fillmore Sisters, Archie Boyd and company, Rose Wentworth Trio, Two Meers, Herald Square Quartet and the Three Leightons, the same bill standing for the rest of the week at the usual 10, 20, 30 and 50 cent prices. The theater was richly decorated by the local florists and concert rendered by the Second regi- ment band preceded the perform ance. Not penny was the hospital committee required to expend in any direction; even the richly engrossed testimonial presented to MT Poli was a gift. nsAfter the performance a re- ception to MT and Mrs Poli was given in Lenox hall, and it looked as if the manager was the most popular man in Springfield. MT Poli, who has been in business in Springfield hardly two years, suggested this benefit when he learned that the hospital needed $22,000 for new building, and with an able commit tee in charge the people did the rest. The sum realized is more than twen- ty annual charity balls have cleared.

OPERATORS WILL NOT ACCEPT.
New Proposition of Miners to 0e

New Proposition of Miners to 0e
 F1atIy Turned Down.
 NEW YORK, April 2s.-The anthracite operators have fatly turned down the latest proposition from President John Mitchell's scale committee to increase the cost of coal to the operators 10 cents a ton. sr@s \
 This was stated by one of the largeit interests in the anthracite field. The head of the miners union will then be referred by the operators to their pre- vious proposal to arbitrate the general question as to whether present condi- tions justify an increase or decrease In wages.
 The situation from the viewpoint of the operators was reviewed by one of their number, who made this statement on the proposal of President Mitchell:
 MT. Mitchelrs proposition for an iR-s crease in wages equal to 10 cents per ton on all anthracite coal produced looks innocent enough until it is ana lyzed, but if it was accepted by the op- orators it would force them either to- raise the price of coal of domestic sizes about 20 cents per ton to the consumer or would cause them to suffer loss of about one-half the present profits of the industry.
 "The operators are therefore unalter- ably opposed to settlement on any such basis" 1
 The Tefiisa1 of the operators maket it. look much as if strike will be order ed by the mine workers convention, which meets in Scranton next Thurs day, providing President Mitchell does not take decided stand against one.

DESERTED AT THE ALTAR.

n.
 Deserted At The Altar, beautiful story of the Adirondack mountain people, written by Pierce Kingsley, will be the attraction at Polls to- night. While spending his summers i'll the mountains, Mir Kingsley con- ceived the plot of the play;s and sketch ed his characters from the life of those around him, thus ensuring cor rectly drawn characters. It is a clean wholesome play, with bright and effervescing comedy and mechanical effects that are startling to degree. The race between the automobile and bicycle is masterpiece of stagecraft, and this and other startling situations are most realistically portrayed. X capable company, and one far above the average, will be seen here. each member deserving credit for his or her share of the fun and applause and the many specialties they introduce. Prices are %, 35c and 50 cents. Tel. 116 te.

WHEN MY LADY MOTORS.
A Superior Material for the Coat Is an Olive Tweed with Hair
 Line of Black.

The chief point worthy of note at the moment with regard to auto modes seems to be the waning of the popular ity of leather for coats, the general conclusion being that 1t is too reminis- cent of the chauffeur. Apart from this, there is also the question of the way in which 1t shows the dirt, and. although 1t is, of course, quite possible to have such coat cleaned, this is an extensive and expensive business.
 As a lining, however, leather is more to be desired than ever it was, and in this capacity 1t is much used. Under such circumstances it is possible to employ the most delicate tones, and champagne, pale blue and the palest green, are among the shades most ire. quently employed.
 The outer part of the coats thus lined is tweed, either SC f. colored or mixture, and in the mixtures green is the predominant color.
 The particular tone in favor just now Is an olive shade, and an ideal coat is of tweed, in which this predom- mates. It has collar and revers faced with plain cloth to match, and, a band of the same drawing in the full ness at the back. The lining is a much paler shade of green leather, with suggestion of spring about 1t. This olive green tweed with a black check in it is quite the mos. desir- able of all the tweeds of the moment, and a very superior motoring suit is made of 1t, trimmed lightly with black kid. The suit Is double-breasted, and instead of the ordinary roll-over col- lar, the collar is simulated in the kid stitched flat on to the coat, and deco rated at the rounded corners with three little kid-covered buttons. The cuffs follow the same idea, making the garment particularly suitable for slip-

VAUDEVILLE.

The present vaudeville season will go out in blaze of glory at the Jacques next week when Manager Poll will present one of the best pro- grams he has ever offered at the tiny | playhouse. From end to end the pro- gram is made up of numbers that should pack the theater at every per- formance. The headline attraction will be Niklas Schilzonyi's Hungarian Hussar band of forty pieces and the lovers of real music will find the or ganization one of the best equipped in the country. The members of the company are boys running in years from ten to twenty-three, but there is no scarcity of talent and skill if there is in age The act has been a tremendous hit with Dockstader's minstrels and is in variety only for a limited period. Waterbury is to be congratulated on this chance of hearing an unusually splendid corps of musicians. The special feature Of the bill will be a return engagement of Raymond and Caverly, two of the funniest Dutch dialect comedians in the entertainment field. These laugh provokers are too well and favorably known here to require an introduc- tion and it is only necessary to say that the act they are now doing IS even more entertaining than was their old trolley car number. The Millman Trio of wire experts which made a success here on its last en- gagement the size of which has not since decreased, will be another im- portant number and the balance of the play card will be admirably rounded out by the inimitable ven- triloquist. A. O. Duncan. the Misses Brenner and Sinclair. Ida ODay. banjoist. the Herald Square Quartet, and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.
