The principal ovent of tho coming week in the theatrical world tyill bo the opening of tho now Union Square Theatre- which occurs on Wednes day evening. Tho pluck and idomttablo courage of Mr. J. M. Hill has raised him high In the esteem of tho profession and his return to metropolitan management will ho extremely wolcome. Speaking of tho now Union Square Theatre, Mr. Hill said, pithily. "I know it is a thing of beauty. Ihopo it will bo to tho publio a Joy forever." Miss, Helen Barry will be tho star, and the play will be "A W Oman's Btrata gem," in which Miss llarry has been seen through the country.

There will also be a Wodnesilay matinee "A Midnight Hell" will begin tho fourth week of its run at tho UUou Monday night. Mr. Iloyt's latest clTort has made a gioat hit. On pcveral occasions recently tlieliliou lias not beon largo enough to hold all tho penplo who wished to ho prcsont, Thomas Q. Heabrookc. Eugene CanUold, Miss Isabello One and Miss Maudo Adams divide the honors of tho performance, be tmeon them pretty evenly. Nat Goodwin's performance in 'A Gold Mine " at the Fifth Avenno Theatre has met with great success. Ho has been complimented "ali round " ou his impersonation of Silas K. Wool cott, from Grass Valley, Cal. Mr. Goodwin is very pleased, and his success has determined him to favor comedy hereafter and kae bur lesquo and tho so-called farce-comedies. "A Gold Mino" has grown steadily in popularity eineo its first' performance. Next Thursday afternoon Mr. Goodwin will present tho play at a matineo and dovoto tho proceeds to aid tho building fund of the New York l'rcas Club. Duncan B. Harrison will be seen at tho Four teenth Street Theatro Monday night in "Tho Pai master, " his military melodrama. The pieco will bo given with entirely new scenery and ac ccssones.und a number of changes and improve ments will bo made in tho realistic water scenes, which are strong features of the performance. Ouo hundred and fifty membors of a local mili tary company aro to bo omployed in tho repre sentation. Hallen and Hart will be tho attraction at the Windsor Theatro Monday night, when they will present II. Grattan Donnelly's farce-comedy, " Later On.

Kolly, tho Irish comedian; Miss Georgie Parker, Bernard Dyllyn and others. Notwithstanding the fact thatithe Now York theatres aro particularly entertainingly " stock ed" at tho present time "Little Lord 'Faun t loroy continues to hold its own at the Broadway Theatre. Tho business continues to bo very good, and tho season will probably be " run out with "Little LordlFanntleroy1' wth very largo financial results. Miss Elsie says she likes to be the little Lord much better than she did Susan in "Held by tho Enemy." She is said to havo a particular aversion to long clothes. "Conrad the Corsair " will be tho attraction at the Grand Opera-House next week. This will be the first production of that bnrlcsquo since its long run at tho BUou. It will surely ,be seen to great advantage on the big stage of the Grand Opera-House. The scenery, oostumes and effects are new and bright. Tho burlesque will have the same casto and chorus as did " Evungelino " last week at the Star. "A Dark Secret " will be continued at Nlblo's next week. lllaa Edna Carey had a queer ex perience in the tank the other day. A,ftertho well known rescne she appeared to bo very ex cited, and said she had seen a snake in the water. Everybody laughed, but Miss Carey in sisted that site was right. One of tho stage hands thought It was an eel. The water was drained, but nothing was found. Miss Carey, since this, has not enjoyed her dive. Shelhes in fear of eels. ' "The Old Homestead " runs along so smoothly at the Academy of Music that the work of handling the stage is not arduous. The stage hands havo considerable time to themsolves.and Messrs. Gilmore and Tompkins have fitted up a reading-room under the stage for tho use of tho employees of the house. Denman Thompson is going to contribute a little library. ' ' A Boy Hero: or, Held in Slavery, " with Mar tin Hayden and ugeue Bessercr in tho leading characters, will be the attraction at U. It. Ja cobs' Thalia Theatre next week.

' ' Peck's Bad Boy, " that incorrigible dramatic youngster, will assert himself at Jacobs's Third Avenue Theatre next week. The cast will be tho same as that which presented the comedy here last season. Tbero will bo new music, songs and specialties, so that a brisk and bright perform ance may bo expected. The patrons of tho Third Avenue know what to expect, and are never dis appointed. Tho much-talked-of Boston Howard Athe n&nim Bpeoialty Company will begin a four weeks' engagement at the Standard Theatro Monday night. There are many bright features of tho ontortatnmont. Little Ida Heath, the clever transformation dancer, must not be for gotten. She makes seven complete changes of costnmo and does seven distinct styles of danc ing during her short "turn " each evening. Von Supper's comio opera. "Boccaccio.

"The May Oueen," Is announced to take place. " Boecao clo" is beautifully sung. Mis Laura Moore and Miss Marlon Manola, while Miss Aunle Myers must not bo forgotten, are extremely pleasing to see and near. . Nothing seems to disturb the success of ' Captain Bwift" at the Madison Bqnaro The atre. It, has astonished everybody. Thero are few plays that suoh an admirable, evenly bal anced company as that controlled Dy Manager A. M. Palmer could not render succeisfnl. .. Mr. It. Haddon Chambers owos this company all the gratitude he can muster up. ' Captain Bwift " is beautifully played. There will bo a very entertaining programme at Tony Pastor's next week. John Kcrnell will be there, a host in himself: then there will ho Hherman and Morrissey, Edwin French, tlio banjoist: Miss LUllo Western, tho Ininan Bis ters, Voltl and Hay. Ouyor and Goodwin in a new act, Clark and Williams, l'rof, Abt's Grecian myRtory andT'ouy Pastor himself. ,ANtghtinPekin" will be tho principal at traction at Koster A Dial's concert hall next week, and will probably remain so for somo time to come.

" " Tho County Fair " at Proctor's new Tvrenty third Btreet Theatre has at onco lumped into that popularity which Tiik Kvkninu Woulu pre dicted for it. The Esfninu Wouui predicts that this popularity will last for a very long time to come. Burgess, as the Yankeo spinster, Is extremely funny. The race scene alwas meets with success. The management expect a icar's run ot "Tho County Fair." Mrs. Potter will begin a week's engagement at the Theatre Cominuc, Harlem, and will un doubtedly do a largo business. Hlio will present her ri'portolro. but during tho week she will add to It "Camlllo," in which she. has never ot ap Iieared hero. Mrs. Potter will, of course, bo tho consumptlvo heroine; Mr. K)rlo Beliew, Ar mand Duval. "NadJv" is still tho attraction at tho Casino, and its second loaso of llfo appears to ho an ex tremely igoroua one. It w ill bo Miiccoeiled in a few weeks by a ntw opeia callod "La Mexi cans," tho music of which in by tho composer of "Falka" and "Nadly." Mies Lillian ltussell Btill cnutinuis to delight tlio Casino audiences with her charming nppeaiauco and excellent voice. "Tho Marqnisn" will begin the second week of It. run at the Lyceum Theatre Monday night. Mr. l'rolnimu issatisllcd with Its success, and will add It to tho company's n'portoirn when tlio organization starts on its tra els. Tho admir able acting in "The Marq.ulo' was spoken of last week In This Evfnino Wom.n. Tho boauti fill stage sotting could teach many managers a lesson. At Miner's Tooplo's Theatro Gillette's popular war play, "Held by tho Enemy," will ho next week's attraction. Miss Mabel Hurt will be Itachoi. and Miss Minnie Dupree Busan. This play is too well known to this city to need "ex planation.'' Tho fact that two companies aro still pioscnting it in this country, and that it is still given in tho English pioviuccs attest its popularity. Cellar still continues to mystify largo audi ences at Dockstarici's Tin atre. Ills "Astarto ' illusion has undoubtedly mado a hit. Bceptics who seo this curious performance all imagine that they can seo tho wires by which tho Uttlo lady is suspendod In tho air. Buddenly sho passes a Bkipping-rope oer her head and under her leet. Dismay of tho secptlcs. Whoro aro tho wires? "The Battlo of Gettysburg'" cyclnrama at Fourth avenuo and Nineteenth street still claims attention. Manager Hill will not relinquish it because ho is going to havo tho Union Bquaro Tin atie. "The Battle of Gettysburg " has es tablished itself firmly as a permanent attrac tion, and is visitod each day by largo numbers of people. At tho Grand Museum, Theatro and Menag erie, 345 and 347 Grand street, business has been extremely large during tho week. Messrs. Peck, Fursinan and Lloyd, the proprietors, havo c cry reason to bo satisiled with tho success of their venture, while Acting Manager Tony Barry can seo tho effect of his good work. The Cali fornia Chicken Mill has attracted a great deal of attention. It is certainly a nioit nnusual kind of ' attraction. " The Bowing contest is also in teresting. Thero w ill be plenty of novelties at the Grand Museum uoxt week, and an excellent stage performance. Thero are so many entertaining features at worth's Museum, in Fourteenth stroet, that it is hard to enumerate them. There is always a ciowd in front of the miueum. thankful for the few curiosities exhibited in the window. But it Is tho inside of the muKcum that must be soen. The Indian band. Kii-Kii and Queen Bo. the In dian dwarf, Ajeeb. tho chess automaton, and Leon, tho modern Hamnsnn, are all there. Many people say that it is an awful thing for girls to whistle. Doris evidently thinks other wise. At his Eighth Avenue Musenm next week, thero will ho a "Young LadloV Whistling Contention." or, as Doris nrcttily puts it, "Twehe Whistling Ladies in a Lovely How. " He alludes to this as "comely chiip chirrups, purling, Quavering, twittering stratus." Talbott and Weaver's MiustreU will givo a stage per formance. BUNPAY NIOMT ENTERTAINMENTS. William Ludarig and his company of vocalists will givo a concert of sacred songs and Irish ballads at Niblo's. At Koster t Dial's thero will bo tho usual con cert. At the Grand Opera-House Prof, Cromwell will lecture on "Homo, tho City of the Cicsars." Urooklyn Theatres. In their forthcoming engagement at tho Am phlon Acadomy Booth and Barrett will present a DISARMING AN UNSEEN FOE. "This was sometime a paradox," a. Haml.t a.ys.

Cures, likewise, dyspepsia rheumatism, kidney and bilious ailment.. lion of hours. Ono paper stated that tho murderer, the keeper of an antiquity shop, had actually been arrested, and that Miss Hardcastlo had identified a dagger in his pos session as tho ono that had been aimed at her heart. But these statements were flatly con tradicted in subsequent editions, and, a tho day wore on, the polico were, it was asserted, without a clue. Misi Ilardcatitlo was too ill to bo soon by any ono, and the reporters had to content thembelves with interviewing her father and Dr. Harvey. Di. Harvey slated that inipollod by somo unaccountablo premonition, ho hod decidod to keep gnord outside his llance'o's house, beliovinc, as he did, that her lifo was in dancer. Ho added that he must have fallen asleep, for he was suddenly arroused by a piercing rhriek coming from Miss Hard castle's room. Fearing tho worst, bo rushed to the bouso bell and rang It, at the aamo time crying loudly for belp. The house wu upeedily varied and attractive repertoire, Monday and Tuesday evenings "Tho Merchant of Venice" will be ghen in its entirety, with Booth as Shy lock and Barrett as Haisanio. "Julius Osar" on Wednesday evening will introduce Sir. Booth a Brutus and Mr. Barrett lu his famous inter pretation of Casslu. Thursday and Friday evenings ."Othello" will be jriven. with Mr. Barrett In the title rAlo and Mr. Booth as tho crafty lago. "Hamlet "is down for the Batur day matlnfe, with Mr. Booth as the melancholy Dane and Mr. Barrett as Horatio. The only double bill of the week will be given Saturday evening, when Mr. Booth will be seen as per tucclo in the "Fool's Revenge," and Mr. Bar rett as Yorick in " Yorlck's Love." There's a feast of fun in atoro for the patrons of tho Grand Opera-Houso next week. Frank Daniels will be thero with "Little Puck." his dog, Old Bport, pretty little Bessie Hamsnn and his clever company. Daniels. It will he.remcm lierod, created the pat t of Old Bport in "A Hag Baby," and extracted a great amount of fun nut ot a part that is up to Iloyt's best. "Little Puck "is a dramatisation of Anstey's popular novel. " Vice Versa, "and thoso who have read tho book will readily see lion many humorous situations could be produced from it. All of the latest song successes arc introduced, also a mix ture of cleverly arranged dances. One of tho most Intense bits of realism seen in many das is the cauterizing scene In " Jlon bars, "which Hubert Mantell will produce at the i.eo Avenuo Academy uoxt week. While re scu ng tho heroine, Diane, in tho first act, Mon tars is severely bitten by a mad dog. With that rare courage dramatists endow their heroes with, Monbais bales his lacerated arm and. taking a led.hot poker from tho lire, cauterizes the wound, the Uesh sizzling and smoking most naturally. Bince last season " Monbara " has been visibly strengthened. Now, instead of dying In the last act, Monbars consouta to live, in order that the audience may carry away a more pleasing recollection of tho play. From Mary Anderson to comic opera is a big step. Jet that Is tho change made In the original ?togrammn for next woek at Col. Minn's Park 'heatre, when nn elaborate production of Hleo & Dixey's " Peari of l'ekin ' will bo seen. In writing this opera Mr. Byrne endeavored to givo a perfect representation of Chinese life and customs, which idea ono of the comedians car ries out by lunching on a rat sandwich and a cup of tea. Louis Harrison Is tho chief fun-maker, and as the great Tj foo is simply irresistible. Ho has a number of new songs which ho will in troduce during next week's engagement. Tho cast is a capital one. The famous Madison Kqnare Theatre success, " Hazel Kirko," till bo revived at Proctor's Theatio during tho coming week, with tho vet eran 0. W.CnuldockasDunstan Kirke. Though Mr Couldoek has passed the allotted time score years and ten. he h as vigorous in his por trayal of the stern but Just old miller as he was In the llrst days of the presentation of tho play, Lillian Billings will essay the title rAle. Bhehasbeeii spoken of most favorably as au ideal Hare). All of tlio well-known characters aro in capable hands. A drama of Western life without tho accom pan ing redskin, tho ever-ready Winchester or the shining tomahawk is as much of a curiosity as a comedy without horseplay. "Nobody's Claim," which will boat Jacobs' Brooklyn Thoatio next week, whilo it deals with scenes and incidents of tho Western country, is exceedingly quiet in its action, and tells a story of much interest. Joe Dowling and Badie Has. son, the stars of tho play, aro clover people, in their respective lines. It's worth the prico of admission to seo Badie Hanson's actions while singing "Thero's a Now Coon lu Towns" her walk is simply inimitable. An oxccllent attraction Is offered by Manager Tlolnici, of Holmes's Museum, for next week. It consists of "Tlio Blackthorn," au admirably written melodrama of life on tho Emerald Isle, and introduces that clever singer and come dian. Joseph J. Bulllvan. The curio hall will contain added attractions, prominent among which aro the genuino Behemian glass-blowers and the painting, "After the Deluge." Lily Clay and her troupo of British blondes will hold the stage of the Grand Theatro in the Eastern District next week. Hevcral additions have been ireently made to this company in the way of Euiopcan specialties, and as it now stands is one of tho best equipped vaudeville at tractions before tho public Once In a whilo tho management of the Grand dopart from reg ular lines and givo a audovlile entertainment. This departure Is always attended with packed and enthusiastic audiences, who thoroughly ap preciate and enjoy this stylo of amusement. The craze for roller skating which has beon lying dormant in Brooklyn fur somo time, seems to have taken to Itself new lifesince tho ripening or the fltar Toboggan Blidn and B listing Itlnk at Fifth avenue and Union street. Eaoh evening sees hundreds gliding around the ixilished skating surface, on the little rollers, to the strains of the Union Military Band, which is al ways in attendance. Tobogganing continues a great attraction. Tho length of tho slide is over 1,300 feet. There's a sword Juggler on tho bill at Zlpp's Casino next week, by name Hadjcerachcrris. If he can get around his name as easily as he swal lows swords, he must indeed bo a wonder. Otheisnu the hill are tho Excelsior Quartet, Little Itosina, a clover male impersonator. Wis. ley B.

J. tho locket mado by tho Jascor as evidence of the nttointit, tbcvvliolo affair would linve been put down as a disordered creation ot tho brain. Tlio medical ovideuco went to show that the dagger scratch was in all probability made by the verv weapon used in connection with tho previous murders, and that it was boyond question that the young lady owed her safety to tho locket sho wore round her neck. Had it not been for Col. Mansfield's souve nir a tenth victim would have been added to the list. "What was tho virtue of this talisman?" asked the writers in the paers. "How did Col. Mansfield know the at tempt would be mado ?" For ho must have known, thoy argued, otherwise ho would not havo made tho gift aud huto given tho solemn instructions ho did as to the wearing of it, "Couldn't Col. MauHliold throw somo light upon the mystery? Couldn't he give a cluo lo tho discovery of tho murderer?" "Wo wait Col. Mansfield's explanation." Dr. Harvey, ns soon as he hnd assurod him solf of Kvolyn's safety and tho hopelossnoss of finding the assassin In tho house or grouuds, had driven to Col. Maustlcld's chambers lu tho Temple. It was close upon 10 o'clock when ho arrived there, and he ft It suro of finding his friend at home. Hut to his disappuiutmcut tho caretaker told him sho believed ho wai out. " Whin did ho go ont ?" asked Harvey. " I don't Know, tir," was tho curt reply. "Ho was out when I knocked at his door at least ho didn't answer; but when he wont out, air. I don't know." ' ' Didn't ha lcnvo any messago for mo ?" " Kono as I know of, sir. Shall I go and seo ?" ' Thanks ; I will go mysolf." Harvey mounted tho stairs and knocked at his friend's door. There was no answer. He entered the room. Mansfield was not there. His things wero lying about, so ho evl dently intendod to rotnrn.
