There were two hundred and fifty notable guests at i K the dinner. Including Blr Frederick , Lelghton -nd Darot Leopold de Roth U$, ' achlld. Mr. Irving made an amusing Hjy speech In which he ridiculed the prevall tt' lng Idea that the theatrical depression Bit was likely to drive actors to the pro wl " feaslon ot pugilism.

Last Friday and Sat- Bk " unJay money was refused In all parts of K, the house excepting the gallery. JP: -, In connection with the revival of C'S "The Candidate" at the Criterion last Hry Thursday, It may be recalled that when H'j the play was originally produced at the H same theatre in November, 1884, Charles fl Wyndham announced, In reply to the WffL calls for the "author," that the gentle- mMk. man In question was In the "House," 1. Dif ., House of Commons, but otherwise Hlo-l jj gave no clue as to his Identity. "The BJt,'' Candidate" was adapted by Justin BnJ Huntley McCarthy from "Le Depute Hf De Bomblgnac," by Alexander Blsson, HIa' which had been played at the Francois Bk some months previously without con- Hi aplouous success. Btjg, The cast for the revival Includes, be- B.iji sides Wyndham himself as the volatile BLW 19 Viscount Oldacre, Messrs. William swm r Blakelcy, George Glddens, C. W. Somer- KfK f.J set. Miss Fanny Coleman, Miss Pattle B$; A Browne and Miss Mary Moore. BjTWj' Miss Lole Fuller, the serpentine dancer, has Just completed a ten days' engagement at the Alcasar Music Hall, In Brussels, where she was paid GO per cent, of the receipts. During her re cent visit to London with Mile. Yvette Guilberjt, a contract was drawn up by which the two ladles were to be stars ot a variety entertainment at Daly's Theatre on the three nights In the week when Eleonore Duse was not acting. For their se-vces they were to receive 60 per cent of the profits. The pro posed rranrement, however, fell through, and Yvette uullbert went to the Empire and Lolo Fuller to tho Strand, Terry's and Trafalgar. Miss Blanche Massey will probably play the part of the heroine In the '"Gaiety Gill," when that play Is taken to America. Mr. Wlllard opens nt the Comedy Theatre with "The Middleman," on June 15. The cast Is being arranged by W. H. Grimths. It now appears that Sir Edward Lbw son did not wish Clement Scott to Ignore the attack mnde on him by Robert Buchanan, and that this Is the reason that the affair will, after all, be fought out In the law courts. GnPTAIN AND BOY WERE LOST. Ship Robert Dixon Returns from a Disastrous Voyage. Blet Yellow Fever at Rio nntl Ilur r.i'iiuc Cuming Hack. That the rain and wind storms which played arojnd the vicinity A New York for the past two weeks were not con fined to this Bectlon Is evident from the stories told by the captain and crew of Incoming vessels. Far out at sea, the roughest kind of wether was en countered, and a certain amount ot un easiness Is felt for the smaller craft that are known to have been In the storm's path. Capt. Langdon brought In the ship Robert Dixon, from Itlo Janeiro this morning, having been fifty-four days on the voyage. The ship Is in ballast to D. B. Dearborn. The captain reports fair weather up to May 26. He was then south of the Gulf stream and a heavy westerly gale sprang up and lasted with hurricane force for three hours. The lower foretop gallant yard was carried away, while the fore and mlztcn upper topsails and main stuysull were blown clear out of the bolt ropes. The experience of the Robert Dixon was unfortunate In many ways. The vessel sailed from this port for Rio Ja neiro Sept. 7, In command of Capt. Cush in?. with a cargo of general merchan dise. She arrived at the port named on Nov. 73, but owing to the troubled stato of affairs she had much difficulty In un loading her cargo. She was compelled to remain In the harbor about four months, and during that time Capt, Cushlng was taken sick with yellow fever. He was removed to a hospital, where he died later. His young wife, who was with him, re turned home on the steamer Dclcomyn, which arrived here April 21. The cook's boy was alio taken sick with yellow fever about the same time as the captain, and he also died. Then, Capt. Langdon'took command. No other cases of sickness were reported after the ship left Rto. Tne Norwegian bark, C. Tobias, from Padang, also got Into port this morning In charge ot Capt. Flaystadt. She was one hundred and fourteen days making the voyage. It took Capt, Flaystadt fourteen clays to round the Cape of Good Hope so strong were the gales. The bark Is consigned to Tobias & Co. ' PARIS'S FAST TRIP. Quickest on Record Over the Louk Course from Southampton. The American Line Steamship Paris ar rived at her dock at 8 oclock this morn ing, after another fast trip from South ampton. She came over the, long course in six days, eleven hours and thirty three minutes not quite two hours be hind the fastest trip ever made. She, however, travelled sixty-eight knots fur ther this time. If this was deducted the trip would have been the quickest on record, as It was she made the fastest trip over the long course. The distance covered each day was 239, 604. WO, 600 knots. She left the Quay May 26 at 2:13 P. M. and reached Sandy Hook Lightship last night at 8:46. Tne average speed on the trip was 20:01 knots an hour. On Memorial Day the vessel passed an Iceberg In lat. 42, long, 49, fifteen miles north. Purser Horace Stokes denied the state ment that the Paris had crossed the bows of the Majestic on the catsward trip. He said the ships were never closer to each other tnan half a mile, and that the Majestic crossed the bows of the Paris a mile ahead of her. It was no race at all, he said. The Paris soon overhauled the Majestic and passed out of sight. The Paris brought over a large number of passengers, among whom were W. II. Eaton and Mrs. Elene B. Eaton, the well known English vocalists; Mrs. William Walter Phelps, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Hoop er, Rev. C. C. Hall, M. R, Moyer, Dr. T. G. Lyon and others. nemoveA the Admlnlatrntrlx.

Somebody Impersonated a Well Known Lawyer at Pastor's. And Mado an Alleged Speech Pare trolling Vesta Tlllcy. A more wretched attempt at Imperson ating Abe Hummel than was made at Tony Pastor's Theatre last night was never seen before on the stage or oft. There was a shower of big and little floral tributes at the end of Vesta Tllley's song about "Tha Man that Broke the Brokers Down In Wall Street," and from the midst of It, like a simmered down rainbow ot smiles, emerged a little iran with a little red box under one arm and a lot of orifice beneath his cuddling mustache. Before him stood Miss Tlllcy, genuine tears dlmmlrg her ces and big sobs fluttering up and down In her throat. VESTA TH.MSY. The little man had a epeech with him not In the little red box, but In his shining brain box, no part of which was concealed from view by hair. Ills name did not appear on the programme, but some people sold he was Abe Hummel. They didn't say whether he was the local lawyer or "The Passing Show's" Abe Hummel, so he started out to speak with his Identity In a most wobblesome con dition In the minds of most ot the audi ence. He tried to be the regular and real Abe Hummel, but oh, what a fright ful failure he made of the role! He had no conception of the character. The genu ine Abe Is a flowing fount of eloquence, but this base Imitation tied his sentences into slip-knots, and was as Incoherent as a handful of vlchy. He wasn't even pleas ant In his mlscellanetty as Sam Ber nard Is at the Imperial. He fell over his adjectives too often, and may have sus tained Internal Injuries for all anybody In the audience knew. He tried to tell Miss Tllley that he was there to represent Tony Pastor, who Is representing himself very successfully out In Chicago, and on behalf of Tony to present her with a slight evidence of the high regard In which that " prince of good fellows" held her as an artist; also, that she had won the splendid ap preciation of Pastor's patrons with a clean repertoire. In which there was not the slightest suggestion ot vulgarity. But If you take these words and a few more and shake them up In a hat and toss them out one by one, they will as sume the tangled condition In which the audaclous'vaudevlller. who made hla de but on Tony Pastors stage, presented What was meant to be an Abe Hummel speech. The attempt was awful. The result was excruciating. The real Abe Hummel should have been there to hear and see It all. Maybe he wouldn't be mad. It Is to be hoped that he will take steps to find out who It was that thus so ruthlessly misrepresented him. Miss Tllley was taken by surprise. Why shouldn't she be? She had heard of the great Abe Hummel, and knew that this couldn't be he. She took the red box, though, and looked with Joy-lit optics on the Jewelled medal It con tained. She thanked Mr. Pastor and the bogus Abe, and then, moving towards the footlights, told the Amer ican public how much she loved It, and how she honed everybody present would remember her after she was gone, as she would remember them. Then she smiled and went In behind the scenes. There was the wildest kind of applause, and Miss Tlllcy came forward again, but the alleged Abe Hummel did not re spond to the encore. It was a great night for Miss Tllley. She sails for England to-day, so a rous ing farewell had been arranged for last night. Tony Pastor's Theatre was so crowded at 8 o'clock that Manager Harry Sanderson had to Instruct the man In the box-otneo not to sell any more ad mission tlokets. The crowd was no greater than the enthuslanm and both were In honor of the popular little Eng lish burlesque actress, whoic specialties In male attire had made her the vaude- Aak for .llllliau's Cnllnat n reliable tonic niidnpprllMT.

"How can we get It through?" mused the elder sister. "We must get It through," declared the younger sister. Presently Annora exclaimed: "I have HI We will wea. It I No duty Is paid on what one Is wearing." "Yes, yes." said .Melissa, "but how can we v. oar It? The white w. Ill get soiled and the black torn In travelling, Resides, If It looks unnatural, as It would on our dresses and mantles, the ofQaUW jvlll be sure to notice It." ''It would not look unnatural on our bonnets," said Annora. They set to work to decorate their bonnets with the lace. They mingled white and black, nchu and flounce, In the most skilful manner, and though the bonnets looked somewhat overdone, yet they carried the lace, and It was proba ble that the male eyes of the Custom House officials would not notice anything abnormal. The Misses Wylle rejoiced In their clev erness. They sat In the train on their way to Franco with clear conscience and light hearts. They had rien a de. clarer nothing dutiable. In the compart ment with them was only one other pa. senger, a stout man, of good-humored vllle sensation of the metropolis for seven weeks. She not only sang well and carried herself with a mngnctlc grace nil through the engagement, but she wore the masculine raiment with Bitch fault less ease that she was during her stay as much the wonder and admiration of the men as of the women. The accom panying sketch shows her In one of her costumes wearing the straw "sailor" whloh she made fumous and fashion able here. On the street she dressed very plainly, almost Inexpensively, and nobody -who saw her and did not know her calling would for a moment have ms pected her of being thentrlrnl She has a three-yenr contract In England at JM0 n week, which she goes back to nil.

As this German did not address the Misses Wylle, they felt sure that he did not understand English, and they talked freely to etch other, "I suppose," said Melissa, "that my bonnet looks all rUht? It does not strike the eyes as being too much trimmed, eh, Annora?" " Well," said Annora, laughing, " It Is too much trimmed for good taste, but then on this occasion you have bad taste. What about mine?" "Oh, quite artistic, 'a study In black and white,' as the artists say." The ladles laughed together, full of glee at their coming triumph over the Customhouse officers The German wore the fatuous grin affected by people who listen to a language which they do not understand, At last the train slowed Into Blandaln station, the frontier.

Tlllcy heard this yestctday, she put her hand In her vest pocket, pulled out a bill, and said: "I'll pay for five cures. I sail to-morrow, and I want to do something to bring me luck." Miss Tllley believes In luck! and Is willing to pay for It. Bhe didn't know that thero were any people In America too poor to buy medicines and food for their sick children, until "The Evening World" Fund wns opened. It may as tonish her to be told that the free doc tors made 1,478 visits last month, found 1,472 sick children, many of whom were so very, very poor that the physicians had to fill their own prescriptions. The charming little singer does a great deal In the way of ohnrlty when she Is at home. Whenever she plays at Christ mas time she distributes 1,000 tickets among the poor children of the sur rounding towns and gives each of them a piping hot plum-pudding dinner. There nre thousands of little ones In England who bless Vesta Tllley's name and look upon her as a fairy godmother.

Man only needs a few clothes, a few pounds of food and a roof that doesn't leak to bo comfortable, and with health and a little philosophy thrown In to be happy. Hut If he lacks heulth, If his body is pain racked, he can enjoy nothing. And that Is the condition of the pensioners of the Hick Babies' Fund. When the doctors call at the wretched homes along the rivers' edges and ask It they Is unythlng they can do, the lnevitnlile reply of the mother Is: "Only get my child well." With good henlth the possibilities of man are nil but limitless. One of the staff doctors hits the null squarely on the head when he writes to the Chief of Corps: "There has never, I venture to say, been a year In the history of the Fund when the children needed looking after ns they do this year. The reason Is plain enough. Every one knows what n hard Winter the past has been for the poor. The men have been out of work. Credit Is hard to get; the pawnbrokers will lend nothing on furniture and clothes, nnd the results show on the chil dren, as a case I had uptown Saturday will Illustrate. I found a child with fol-llcular-tonsllltls, but very much sicker than she would usually be. OnHnqulry It rame out that owing to lack of work tho children had been on short com mons for some time, and the mother, tho Katlent and tha other child were de llltated and anaemia In consequence. The results Is that the poor little ones wero not In even their usual state to resist sickness, and If we would save the children now Is the time. And we must work sharply to do It."
