MR. CHAPPELL'S BOLD PROPOSITION.
He Suggests That AH the Chicago Kail-
roads Seek New Terminals.
Charles H. Chappell, general managei
of the Chicago and Alton railroad, has set
Chicago to talking. The mayor, council
and citizens gen
crallycre engaged
in discussing the
feasibility and ad
visability of hav
ing elevated ter
ininals for all ot
the railroads cen
tcring there. Thi
suggest ion Mr.
Chappell is said to
have met with a
proposition to the
other railroads to
c. H. chappell. combine, purchase
a large tract of land at the south end ci
Lake Michigan, and there found a general
terminal. This town would be modeled
much after the present city of Pullman,
and large inducements would be offered to
encourage the establishment of all sorts of
enterprises. 'W alehouses, docks and yards
would be constructed, and Mr. Chappell is
said to have stated that, in his opinion, the
new town would be a benefit rather than a
detriment, to Chicago. He docs not be
lieve that elevated terminals can be built
strong enough to support the heavy trains
in use nowadays.
On the other hand, those opposed to the
new town idea assert that by a combina
tion the rights of way of the different rail
roads could be sold for a gieat deal oi
money, and that the saving resulting from
a decreased force of flagmen, freedom from
damage suits for accidents at crossings
and other present expenses would make
the elevated terminal plan cheaper than
the one now in use. At any rate, whether
the new town bo built, or the mayor's idea
be carried out, an enormous amount of
money will have to bo spent in Chicago,
and the people will be correspondingly
benefited. The matter has not yet been
settled, but the agitation on the subject
has assumed such proportions that it is
more than likely that a change of some
kind will be made.
OLE BULL'S SON.

Who that has heard Ole Bull perform
upon "the king of instruments" will ever
lose the recollection of the soft, soothing
tones which ho alone seemed able to ex
tract from the violin? His execution of
the "Carnival of Venice" ononestring was
a revelation, and is still a pleasant memory
to thousands.

been for his modesty, which made him
fear the imputation of appealing for
patronage on the strength of his father's
reputation.
Alexander Bull's bowing and methods of
playing generally are said to greatly re
semble those of his father. But there the
resemblance ends, for the young man is of
a highly nervous temperament, showing
his French blood. Some of the greatest
luminaries of the musical world are pioud
to call Alexander Bull friend, and in Paris
he is the center and life of a very select
coterie, which is principally responsible for
the recent revival of interest in Norse mu
sic. The violin used by Alexander is the
one upon which his father performed when,
as an enthusiastic writer expressed it, "he
had America at his feet." It is a full sized
Guiscppe Guarnerius made in 1742. After
his brief American visit Mr. Bull will re
turn to Paris. Thence he will go to Nor
way, where he always spends the summer

AM ADMIRABLE CHARITY
Work and Objects of the Ac
tors' Fund of America.
BELIEF GITEN TO THOUSANDS.-!
Since Its Organization 'o Actor Has Be
come s Public Charge or Found a
Grave in Potter's Field A Great Fair
for Its Benefit.
Beginning May 2 and lasting six days
there will be held in Madison Square gar
den, New York city, what promises to be
the greatest charitable fair in history. It
will have for its object the raising of
money for the Actors' Fund of America,
and will doubtless put many thousands of
dollars into the treasury of that most
worthv institution.
A history of the Actors' fund has never
been written, although it is probably the
broadest and most admirably organized
charity in America. It extends to every
town and city in the United States, and the
wide wings of its well doing shelter all
members of the amusement profession in
times of adversity. No distinction is made.
Scene shifters have the same standing as
stars in the eyes of the Actors' fund. The
result of its labors is shown in this state
ment made by Mr. Louis Aldrich:
"Not an actor has been put in a public
charitable institution or buried in a pot
ter's field since the work of the fund be
gan."
The headquarters of the fund is in a
modest brown stone building on "West
Twenty-eighth
street, New York
city, but it ha3
corresponding sec
retaries and physi
cians in nearly
every community
which theatrical
people visit. The
corresponding sec
retaries are most
ly journalists. As
soon as news
reaches one of
them of an actor
or actress ill or in
Louis aldrich. extreme poverty in
his town, he looks the case up and tele
graphs to Lester S. Gurney; assistant sec
retary of the fund, brief particulars of tho
case, in the meantime furnishing such im
mediate relief to the bufferer aa may ba
necessary. Details are sent to the head
quarters of the fund as soon as possible.
and the executive committee, which meets
once a week, passes on the case at its next
meeting.
During the nine years of the fund's life
it has expended for relief, burials, medi
cines and hospital changes $136,314.42. The
actors and actresses who were saved by
this money from destitution or the igno
miny of becoming public charges, number
2,571, and decent graves have been found
for more than 500. In the single year of
1891 relief was extended to 431 people. The
democracy of the fund's work is shown by
the list of these beneficiaries, which in

matic and variety stages, 5 minstrels, 7

6 wardrobe keepers, 10 attaches, 12 man
agers and agents, 23 property men, 1 author,
11 scenic artists, 5 chorus singers, 5 opera
singers, 4 music hall singers, 3 members of
the ballet, 3 magicians, 4 machinists and
6 stage managers. In 1SS4, tho second
year of tho fund's existence, there w ere
only 100 relieved and 48 buried. The fund's
usefulness has almost doubled, therefore,
during the eight yeara.
To Manager A. M. Palmer must be given
the lion's share of the credit for conceiving
and organizing this splendid charity. lie
called tho meeting of New York and
Brooklyn theatrical managers in March,
18S2, which first formally discussed the
project. At this preliminary meeting Les
ter Wallack was elected president and Mr.
Palmer secretary. In July of the same
year, after tho fund had been incorporated.
Mr. Wallack was again elected president
and Mr. Palmer was advanced to the ice
presidency. Since then Lester Wallack
has passed away and Mr. Palmer has been
seated in the president's chair.
Tho idea of increasing the fund's bank
account by holding a great fair is a radical
departure from the custom of the past. In
previous years monster benefits have been
given for the fund
in the large cities
with very gratify
ing results. M. B.
Curtis, the actor
who was recently
tried on the charge
of killing ti San
Francisco police
man, by the way,
gave at the Four
teenth Street thea
ter in New York
the first perform
ance for tho bene
fit of tho Fund.
That was in
March, 1SS2, and
in tho following
month of April u s- GCKET-
another was given in which nearly every
prominent theatrical personage then in
New York helped in some way. Tho pro
ceeds of the day were more than f J0.000
and tho entire expenses to the fund was
less than $2,300. James Gordon Bennett,
owner of the New York Herald, cabled
10,000 from Europe. John Jacob Astor
sent a check for 250. Edwin Booth do
nated $1,000 and Joseph Jefferson gave,
half as much. Sarah Jewett and Maud
Harrison, two charming actresses, descend
ed on Wall street in a hansom cab and col
lected $I,C00 from the bulls and bears in a
few hours, while tickets to the benefit
w ere offered for sale by every policeman in
New Yorl:.
Hanging en the wall of the secretary's
office iu New York, is Mr. Bennett's check
with "paid" stamped across its face. Above
U and below it, on each side of it and star-
ing at it from the other walls of the room
are framed programmes of the hundreds oi
benefits which have been given for the
fund.

On the floor above is a dramatic agency,
where the names of all the members of the
fund are registered and where those out of
employment can put their names and ac
complishments before theattcntion of man
agers for an almost nominal fee.
Saturday is the pay day of the fund, and
when it comes around each week it brings
with it a long line of needy professionals.
For the sensitive ones a private entrance
is provided, through which they may
quietly enter, draw their relief money and
slip away uneen: but most of the benefi
ciaries go boldly in through the reading
room and stop, after they ha e been at
tended to, to chat awhile with their fellow
over their troubles, their past triumphs
and future hopes.
When a beneficiary is unable to go to the
fund to get his relief the fund goes to him.
Trusted agents carry money, food and med
icines as the fund's doctors lecommend,
and not only relieve actual distress, but
supply little luxuries to worthy ones. Out
of toun beneficiaries are attended to by the
corresponding secretaries as directed by the
executive committee, of which Mr. Louis
Aldrich is chairman.
There is almost no red tape about the
Actor's fund. The way the work is car
ried on was hinted at by Assistant Secre
tary Gurney t henie said to me:
"We consider it better to give help to
fifty unworthy applicants than to refuse
relief to one deserving person."

DRAMATIC NOTES.
The report that Robert Mantell will
"head" a New York stock company is un
true. Mr. Mantell has never had a more
prosperous season than the present, and hi3
profits will be close on to 50,000 before the
warm weather comes.
Modjeska is one of the most scholarly
-women of tho stage. Besides being a tire
less student of Shakespeare she is a con
stant reader of his great contemporaries,
and she has made and is still making a
arge collection of Elizabethan works. Be
sides all this sho speaks half a dozen Ian
guages, including some of the difficult
tongues of eastern Europe.
Joseph Hofmann, the prodigy pianist, is
about to begin a two years' course of study
at Berlin, under Herr Moszowski. He will
not play in public before 1894.
Yerner Clarges, of Robert MantelPs
company, writes an interesting letter in
opposition to the idea of opening the the
aters' generally on Sunday. Ho says that
with the present road systems tho long
"jumps" that an actor has to make on
Sundays are tiring enough, without the
additional burden of acting at night.
Kellar says it Is "the ambition of my
life to build a theater in Philadelphia."
This modest but singular hope .seems about
to be realized. Ho is endeavoring to sreure
the site on which his present hall stands.
If he succeeds, he will build a commodious
theater, and devote it to magic and high
class specialty entertainment.

When any number of persons wish tc

they form a club. The club, however

an arena for tho discussion of some sub
ject. Shakespeare's plays, Brovming
Dante, the stage, indicate the simpler
range of topics. Or if nothing better
offers, the members set up a man of
straw and have shies at him, a sort of in
tellectual game of Aunt Sallie.'
The town is honeycombed with such
clubs. They are superseding dancing
and the natural diversions of the young
and conversation and cards of tho more
mature. The common pleasure in meet
ing one another in good clothes and oft
duty no longer exists. Nor have the so
cial affiliations that used to be found in
tho church and in the mission school
any remaining power of social cohesion.
It is a curious development, and is na
turally in a more vigorous state among
people from other parts of the country
who have come here to live, and must
find excuses for social organization out
side those that exist m older and allied
communities of people. An inherent
craving to know and to commune about
Plato or Renaissance arc will furnish a
pretext for social advances that no one
can possibly mistake for bumptiousness
or any undue social aspiration. When
a sufficient number of persons with a
kindred thirst is discovered its satisfac
tion takes place at intervals in one an
other's drawing rooms. This climbing
of staircases, ascent of elevators, fa
miliarity with one another s surround
ings and subsequent wafers and cups of
tea after the mam business is concluded,
furnish as solid and as quickly riveted
bonds as are welded by society in any of
ilt older forms.
