'TRAV|ATA" IN
ITALIAN SUNG
At THE EMPIRE
Helena and M. PacCini Dis
tinguish Themselves-Other
A~muSements.

I'll Trovatore," Verdi's most popular
opera, will be sun tonight by the Ital-
ian Opera Company at the Empire The
atre, with Nine. Edith Helena in the
role of Leonora. The company opened
its weeks repertoire successfully last
night with Verdi's "Traviata," in which
Nine. Helena made a distinct success
as Violetta. She disclosed a voice far
above the average found in such
operate ventures.
M. Caccini, baritone, as the elder
Germont, also proved to be a singer
above the general run. His singing
was a pleasure throughout and his
acting good. The Alfredo of the occa-
sion, NJ. Dallafranci, was inadequate.
Nine. Helena will assume the burden
of the leading roles in each of the sue
ceeding operas, as follows:
Wednesday matinee, "Traviata;"
Wednesday evening, "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana and "Pagliacci;" Thursday,
"Rigoletto;" Friday, Faust" Satur-
day matinee, "Rigoletto;" Saturday
night, "Troyatore.' The cast for each
has not been announced.

j. s. NAVY WILL
TRY TO SINK ONE
OF ITS OWN SHIPS
Officers and Crew Risk Lives
to Prove Efficiency of
Monitors ArmOr.
Especial to the Evening Start

NORFOLK, Va, May ga full
crew of brave volunteers from the
ranks of the United States navy sailed
today on the monitor Florida, to be
lambasted by shells and t~orpedoes
from her sister ships.
If what one section of naval officers
believes coIne true, they will be a
ping the bottom of Hampton Roads
with oyster tongs tomorrow for the
bodies of the heroes. But the heroes
are so confident of the defensive armor
of the Florida that they say they will
be back here in time to enjoy a BAN
quet as the guests of the government.
The monitor Arkansas, a sister ship
of h Florida. will try to prove one
contention-that she can riddle the
Florida with shells, assisted by the
torpedo boat Morris, which is to fire
torpedoes under water in the belief
that these shots will send the Florida
first up into the air and then to the
bottom of the sea.
The test is to be held some time to-
morrow in Hampton Roads, on the
historic spot where the first monitors,
the Monitor n Merrimac, clashed,
and where vas born the modern steel
battleships.
The exact time of the tests is left to
the discretion of the commanding Off
GERS of the vessels participating.
Commander Quimby of the Florida.
and his men have full faith in the abil-
ity of their ship to withstand serious
damage from the IN of the Arkansas
and they have no doubt of the repell-
ing by the torpedo net" about the
Florida below water line, of the torpe-
does that will be shot at her by the
Morris. 1t will be a testing of the
armor plate OF the Florida and the
ability of that cl IS of vessel to with
stand heavy firing from modern guns
as well as the craftsmanship of those
doine the firing.
Practically all of those who will oc-
cupy hazardous positions on the Flor
ida are volunteers, who offered their
. services when the call went out from
the Navy Department. The tests are
being watched with great interest not
only here, but by the officials at Wash
ington, as well as by foreign represent
atiVes.

PROCTOR'S-VAUDEVILLE.

Many people, when they speak of
Ralph c. Herr, are in the habit of
holding him up to fame as Lulu
Glaser's husband" but the comedian
has other claims o distinction thar
that of having married one of the
~jolliest actresses in musical comedy.
He has considerable acting ability,
which he has disclosed both in drama
and musical plays, and which he again
evidenced last night in his character
monologue at Proctor's. Among others,
he gave his performance of the actor
of the good old days, from Lola from
Berlin reciting Harry B. Smiths lines
with the requisite combination of ex-
travagant character comedy and
pathos.
None of the other acts transcribed
in merit the vaudeville average, al
though the acrobatic upside-down
dance OF the Picquays was novel.

Sand=bars.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Details of the
disasters from the fog yesterday,
which was the worst in many years,
are about complete today, with the
exception of the identity of the big
steamer which went on a sand-bar off
Monmouth Beach, N. j., and which
freed itself and disappeared while The
l~ife-savers were trying to locate it.
While returning to this city last
night with a party of four hundred
persons who had attended a launching
at West New Brighton, S. L, the
Thomas S. Brennan, of the Depart
ment of Public Charities, came in col
lision in the upper bay north of Rob
bins's reef with the Maraval, of the
Trinidad Shipping and Trading Com
pany.
The bow of the Maraval sank into
the starboard side of the Brennan aft
of the paddlebox. Six feet of :he
Maraval's bow pierced the Brennan,
and the two craft hung together for
more than ten minutes.
There was a great panic, but no
one was injured, and after a half hour
they proceeded to their destinations.
The Clyde Line steamer Seminole,
which went aground at Point Pleasant,
N. J., in the fog. was fioated today
and proceeded to New York practically
from the West Indies to New York

lowed an examination late yesterday by
the plainclothesman of the stockroom
where the finished hats are stored. The
clue which he followed was furnished
by Cullen, who bought a hat yesterday
in a Broad street store. in which the
union label was pasted.
King says that when he called at
the latter's place of business he was
told that none of their product have
the union label. H asked to examine
the stock room, but was refused per-
mission, he says on the plea that the
door was locked and that Joseph
Gerstner, then in New York, had the
key.
He climbed through a window onto a
roof, and thence entered the stock
room by another window.
81 found the room almost filled with
hats, most of which had he union
label pasted inside" said King. 81 was
then told that they contained the label
when the Gerstners bought them."
Philip Gerstner was placed under ar
rest on the strength of the plainclothes-
mans discovery. Today shortly before
court opened Joseph Gerstner was
brought in,o the First Precinct station
Both were represented by counsel
