8 THEATER AND ACTOR. Metropolitan Opens Tonight With M. B. Curtis in "Sim'l of Posen." CURTIS' WONDERFUL CAREER His Sensational Trial on the Charge of Murdering a Policeman. HIS FORTUNE OF $375,000. The Grand Opens Sept. 2 With Charles H. Yale's "New Devil's Auction." The regular season of the Metropol itan will commence tonight, with the popular actor, M. B. Curtis, who will appear after an absence lrom the stage of several years in his new version of the famous play, "Sain'l of Posen, The Drummer Up to Date." Mr. Curtis is the first actor who ever made the state Hebrew popular. Actor M. 15. Curtis, known to fame as "Sam'l of Posen.'' has bad as wide and varied an experience, probably, as any actor in the profession. Mr. Curtis was born in Detroit, Mich., about forty years ago. His stnrt in his professional career was made as bell boy in a Chicago hotel, and later as a call boy iv a Chicago theater. Mr. Curtis went to California in 15>TG, and then- payed light comedy par's in the old California Theater Stock company, lie achieved his first success there as the darkey, with W. J. Florence In the "Mighty Dollar." After a limited career of success, when SSO was bis money for him, he came East and drifted about, taking comedy parts with various theatrical troupes. At about this time he married Albiua de Mer, an actress. In a lucky hour Mr. Curtis came into possession of the play ••Saurl of Posen." This was about fourteen years ago. Mr. Curtis claims to have written the first act of the play himself, but a dozen or more authors are said to have written the balance of it. Mr. Curtis hawked his new play about far and wide. Not a theatrical manager would touch it. Times were very hard for the actor at this time, and he had hard work and had to hustle in scraping together enough money to meet a §12 a week board bill. Finally, iv the summer of ISS3, "Sani'l of Posen" was sprung on an audience at Athens, 6a., for the first time, it achieved a marked success. Mr. Curtis theu played the piece at a New York theater for an entire season, and afterwards in the other cities be fore largo and profitable audiences. He fairly coined money. In less than ttiree years he cleared over ?375,000. He became known himself as "Sain'l of Posen." About this time Mr. Curtis returned to California, a rich man. Ilis success there was as marked as it had been in the East. Mr. Curtis then began to em bark in all soits of business ven tures. He became president of a Biillion dollar loan association in Berkeley, California; president of the Berkeley Electric Light conpany: vice president of The First National Bank of Berkeley; vice-president of the California, Nevada & Narrow Gauge JJaiiroad company, and president of the Peralta Park aad Hotel company. He plso built a railroad station, and founded a town known asl'osenville. In the latter place nourished the Posen Baseball and Football clubs: The Posen Fire Engine company, and Brass Band. A 15,000 --acru orange and lemon orchard it) Fresno county completed the list of Mr. Curtis' California enterprises. Mr. Curtis evinced an extravagant fondness for jewtjlry, and for a single ruby ring paid jf'.i.COO. He was in the Hey-day of his prosperity, when in September, 1891, he was charged with the kill ins of Policeman Grant, Our readers are already familiar with the de tails of tiie affair. On the first trial, in February, 1892, the jury disagreed; on the second trial, after the evidence was all in, one of the jurors died; on the third trial, in August of hist year, he was acquitted. Koine of the jurors in the case were openly charged with hav ing been bribed, but the charges were not sustained. Mr. Curtis' version of the alfair is as follows: "1 was going through a dark street on the way to the Grand opera house to meet my wife, who was there witnessing the perform ance by Sarah Bernhardt. It was near ly midnight. I had been drinking a little— having a jolly time. Suddenly a Physicians and men, With tongue and by pen, Endorse the right use, Not the abuse, Of pure whiskey.

Absolutely free from fusel oil poison. Sold by Druggists and Dealers man rushed out and knocked me down with a blow on my head. The thief whs going through my pockets when Police man Grant came up and collared us both. In a dazed sort of way I resisted ar rest. The thief suddenly whipped out a revolver and ft'red four shots; Grant fell dead; the thief made his escape. The policeman had nippers on my right wrist at the time. Ot course, when 1 was found alone with the dead policeman, I was charged wltli the mur der. The Sau Francisco police did all they could to fasten the crime on me. but I was innocent. Before God, I did not kill that man. I was acquitted." Mr. Curtis admits of having spent large sums of money in his defense, but he denies emphatically ever having bribed or as much even as having attempted to bribe ai.y of the jurors. The last business venture of Mr. Curtis was the purchase of the Driskell, the largest hotel iv Austiu, Tex., aud one of the finest iv the state, and it is at pres ent being run in Ilia name. His i-'res uo ranch was given in part pay ment. Mr. Curtis is very popular among the members of his own profes sion. He is genial in disposition and credited with being kind-hearted and generous. He was one of the-tirst pro moters of the actors' fund of America. Mr. Curtis gave his check for $800 to ward the lighting up of the Bartholdi statu6 for the first time. His present tour of "Sam'l ot Posen" has been very successful, anil he is in a lair way of making a second fortune, equal to the fust that he has aiready made on this play. The demand for st?ats has been very large. Matinee will be given on Satur day only. The engagement is tor one week. THE GRAND OPfcJUA HOUSE Opens Sept. 2 With Yale's ".New Devil's Auction." On Sent. 2 the Grand will open its littli fall and winter season with that famous spectacle, and last season's triumph, "Charles 11. Yale's Newest Devii's Auction."

MORNING, AUGUST 19, JB94. —SIXTEEN PAGES. DECLINES TO ENJOIN. Childs Says the Movement Against Birch Coulie Mon ument Location IN NOT MADE SOON ENOUGH. The Matter Can Only B9 Rem edied by the Next Leg islature. REGULAR ARMY OFFICER. Grant Bases His Claim to Commandership on That Ground. TTORNEY General Childs writes Gen. Sauborn that he de clines to begin injunc tion proceedings asainst the Birch Cou lie monument com mission 10 restrain it from locating the monument on the fair grounds at Morton in- MR V 1 stead of on the battlefield, and also to prevent inscribing the name of Capt. Grant on the base of the monument as commander of the troops in the battle. The attorney general holds that the ap plication to restrain the commission from locating the monument on the fair grounds came too late, as the monu ment has already been located there and the title to tne laud secured. ESS3B The attorney general further holds that the injury is not an irreparable one, as the matter can be taken before the next legislature, which will have power to correct any errors. Gen. Sanborn has arranged to consult with Judge Flandrau on the matter, and, as they are much interested in the matter, they can probably decide what is best to be done. It is not likely that they wilt prosecute the matter iv the courts, but take it before the next legis lature. There seems to be little doubt that Maj. Brown was actually in command of the troops, and that he was respected and obeyed by the officers and men as their commander. It is not known that this fact is disputed by Capt. Graut, whoso name has been inscribed on the monument, as the one in command. Capt. Grant claims this honor on the ground that as a regular army captain he outranked Maj. Brown, who was a militia officer of the detachment. This is the point disputed by the other offi cers. Joseph R. Brown, a son of Maj. Brown, and S. J. Brown, his brother, have boen in the Twin Cities for some days looking the matter up, and they will consult with ex-Gov. Marshall, Judge Flandrau and Gen. Sauboru as to what is best to be done.

Dunbar, or Washington City, Arrives In St. Paul. U. S. J. Dunbar, sculptor, of Wash ington, D. C, has Just arrived in tit. Paul, where he will open a studio and display borne of his recent work, with a view to obtaining the patronage of the St. Paul lovers of art. He brings with him several good let ters from prominent people in Wash ington to many of the beat people here, and comes very highly recommended by the following people: Senators Wash burn and Davis; Mitchell, of Oregon; Faulkner, of West Virginia; Black out v, of Kentucky; Clarke, the archi tect of the capitol; E. P. Riges, banker; Thomas B. Heed, of Maine; Dr. Tower, of library fame; Mrs. Senator Davis, and several others who are not so well known. Mr. Dunbar has been especially happy in his ability and artistic taste in his interpretations of human nature, having that (acuity of making the best of his sitter and portraying that which is most agreeable and characteristic iv his sub ject. He has placed two busts in marble of vice Presidents Ilendncks and Martin Van Buren hi the United States senate; also a bust (marble) of VV. W. Corcoran, the founder of that famous Corcoran Gallery of Art, where the bust now is. Mr. Dunbar has been especially suc cessful in hia ideal work, it being marked by simplicity and naturalness in composition, as well as sympathetic expression and harmony, His works are powerful, and at the same time soft and gentle, a combination that is not often found in sculptors, as the ten dency is to either too much strength or his work is weak. But in this respect Mr. Dunbar has retained a happy me dium, and bids fair to take a high posi tion on the ladder of fame. Bis bas relief work has shown a wonderful degree of delicacy, as well as correct uess in portraiture. Mr. Dunbar proposes to make St.Paul his summer residence if he meets with sufficient encouragement, returning to Washington during session of congress, where he must be to look after the gov ernment statues, etc. He will place a bust on exhibition at 100 East Fourth street, E. W. Porter's book store, where any 'further information may be ob tained through the kindness of Mr. Por ter. Mr.;Dunbar will remain at least a mouth in St. Paul, possibly more, as many of the lovers ot art are absent from the city to escape the heat and in dulge in piscatorial and other sportive reliefs from the harrowiug strains of every-day business lif». Success to Mr. Dunbar. NEW WATKR MAIN Going Under Seventh Street in Plaoe of Decayed One. Work was began yesterday for the relaying of the new water main on •Seventh street. The first work was started at the corner of Seventh and : Wabasha, so as to get through at that, important point and open up the traffic i as rapidly a possible |pr both * street: ears and wagons. At that point the ground is very rocky, aud a great amount of drilliug will be necessary, makina: progress rather slow. The old main, which has been In continuous service there for the past twenty years, was rather a curiosity for those who saw it, being one of the old-fashioned mains: •of sheet iron, covered with cement- It was badly rusted and decayed,and:lt . was high time that it was replaced. The : new main will be a sixteen-iuch one. and ajiiply large enough for all emer-' gencies. On either sida of the Market house block, whore the street was made by filling, the work will proceed more rapidly. The new main will be laid at a depth of seven feet.
