The lower Bowery has a partial novelty this
week In a melodrama by Ldward E. llose,
called "The Wostornor. About two years
ago it was tried at a Thalia matinoo. and it
was thon llketlx) well that a purchasor was
tound. It Is acted at tho Windsor with consid
erable care, but it cannot be pralsod ory high
ly. Its story is conventional. Its pictures aro
not new. and it dialogue is nolther especially
erisp nor affective. The hero, a cowboy on a
visit to New York, is impeisonntod quite com
mendably by Joseph 8. (illibs; tho heroine is
I I'uulino wlllard, an export actress, and the

she will tako a rest during the summon. Tho

At the German play houfos tho week has

Cottrolly, has neon warmlylKrcutod bjrmanyold

present support Is somewhat feeble, nut when
MldsOrar plays "East Lynno" perhaps tho

drama. At Nlblo'a there Is current
a rather showy, but not adequate, re
vival of Charles Alfred Erne's and Oustavij
Kerker's comlo opera. "The Pearl of Poltln."
"In Its earlier production nt tho Broadway
Bijou thoro was no excuse to quetlqn tho art
istic merit of this gny and rather witty work;
but several seaon8 of hardships encountered
on the road have loft their marks upon ino
Pearl of Tekln." nnd It has come back to town
In a Bomowr.at dlsorganlred condition, ino
eait II alterod. and not always for the bettor:
but It Is a pleaeuro to hear again the merry
voloo of Irono Verona, who Is Tht fey h and It
Is no less a treat to view tho nntlos ot Ldward
Chapman, who Is tho principal comedian.
The tenor rnlo of Pttit Pierre was sung by
Wallace Wodloy. although tho programme ; as
signed tlio part to Edward Webb, who Is III In
an Ohio hospital. The chorus, the co'tumes.
nnd the scenery In the present rouval are
qultogood.
"Tuxedo" was revived at the Now Tark
Theatro on Monday evening with now fea
tures, one being a trnveBtyof "The Country
ClreusT' In tho form of baby, circus wagons
about the sla.i of soap boxes, drnwn with ex
traordinary display of muscular effort by va
rious members ot the company. One wagon
contained a pig. another abkro terrier, a third
a matronly old hen. and a fourth adlgnll oil
tabby. But the most startling interpolation
wasacakowalk under the direction of rolo
Jim. tho managor ot a similar exhibition
on a much larger scalo lately given at the
Madison Square Oardon. Tho contestants at
the Park art W. H. Proctor. Luke Bbickburn.
and Dandy Jack, with their bollos. The men
are attired in faultlessly correct evening dress,
while two of tho ladles appeared in welMlttliig
black silk gowns and the third In white. , Aftor
a brief speech by Polo Jim the walk be
gins with stately grace and diRnltled
carrlngo. Ed Marble acts as referoo
nnd declares tho llrst heat a draw,
wherounon tho walkorn are recalled and tlio
contest begun nnew. This time. howoor. the
relerce reachos a decision and awards tho
cake. Luko Blackburn and his partner got It
on Monday night. Mr. Blackburn bore the
huge trophy from the stnge so lightly poised
upon thn palm ot his loft hand thnt many in
the audience reversod their Judgmont and de
clared the cako to be a croatlon of the property
man. However, the cako walk Is a convulsive
sucoess and will no doubt draw many to see It.
The "Trip to the Moon." at Music Hall, has
caught on with tho public since tho repre
sentation has boon romodolled. and Oarrott P.
Serviss has taken the Imaginary voyagers of
celestial space In ohargo. The audiences are
rapidly Increasing In size and enthusiasm.
A Sou Wreath for Teaor ileum De Kestke.
The farewell porformnnco of " Faust" nt the
Metropolitan Opera Houso yostorday after
noon was made noteworthy by tho presenta
tion to Joan De lloszke of a BUperb crown of
laurol leaves fasblonod ot gold. It was
passed to the tenor ovorj tho foot
lights upon a satin cushion, at tho
close ot the duot with Miss Eamos In the
garden sceno and tho gift wns hulled with an
outburst of popular enthusiasm that surpassed
any of the greottngs yet extended to the star
singor. Tho wreath was engraved with the
tenor's name, and attached to It was an envel
ope containing tho card of the glvor. It was said
at tho opera house that the donor was a wom
an. The tenor himself resisted all appeals to
reveal the Idontity of the giver. Tho cast was
the same that made previous renditions of tho
work memorable, with the slnglo ex
ception of tho substitution of Mile.
Do Olgne In the rOle of Siebel, previously
assumed by Mmo. Hcalchl. Tho encores woro
so numerous that tho performance was pro
longed far beyond the usual hour.
"La Honnambula" was sung last ovenlng.
with Mmo. Van Zar.dt as Armina, and an au
dience that was also appreciative to the point
of enthusiasm obtained a marked degree of
enjoyment from the spirited performance.
Mme. Van Zandt waa often called before tho
curtain, and some beautiful tlowcrs wore pre
sented to her. Hignor Olanlnl was Ainno. and
Mllo. Klein. Klgnor Herbollcl, Hignor Ulnaldlnl.
nnd Mile. Bauormelster were associated with
him in tho cast.
Tho statomont was repeated at the Opera
House last night that Impresario Abbey will
havo tlio nouse next season for a further pro
duction of grand opera in Italian and French.
Tho decision of tho stockholders will be
reached next woo, and It is said that It will
not tako them lone to make up tholr minds lu
favor ot leasing the house to Mr. Abbey.
SHE WAS XOT HEALED.
Nevertheless Mn. Chnrch Die Blessing
the Name or the I-ord.
Mrs. Charles Churoh. the boltever In faith
cure, otherwise known as divine healing, who
died at her home in Passaic on Monday last of
a canoer. was buried yesterday from the Ht
George Methodist Church, in thai city. Tho
death of Mrs. Church Is regarded as a blow to
the divine healing theory, for it is confessed
that greater faith had no woman than Mrs.
Church, nnd sho had all her life combined hor
faith with works. No woman was better
known in PasBaio for hor charity, her gocd
works, and hor many other vlrtueo than Sirs.
Church. She was a woman of intelligence,
and. it Is agrood. ot sound common sense, until
she acquired faith In latter-day mlrlc'.os.
Mrs. Church was 48 years old. Sho was born
In Chennngo county. N. Y. Sixteen yoars ago
elm went to Tassalc with hor husband. Dr.
Charles A. Church, a homoeopathic physician,
and said to be somethinz of a religious on
thuslust, Sho became a member of the Meth
odist church, a teachor In tho Sunday schsol.
was Dromlncnt In tho Ladles' Aid and Ladies'
Missionary Societies, and in tho Woman's
Clirlstfaa Temperance Union, tho Union Be
nevolent Society, and the Monday Aftornoon
Club. Those are just a few of the church so
cieties to which sho belongod. Sho first came
to believe In divine healing six yoars ago. Her
husband had pneumonia. Tholr son. Dr.
Church. Jr.. tells this story:
"The disease kopt growing worse untii it de
veloped Into gnlloping consumption. He tried
all sorts of remedios, but nonoof thorn worked,
lie wont to six of the best homoeopaths in this
State, but thoy all agreod that there was no
hopo for him. Ills lungs were almost solid
and we alt gavo him up. Then fatbor and
mother becamo acquainted with dlvlno heal
ing. 1 imnit u was turougu iruirio ui mt. uut
I'mnotsuie. Thoy looked ltupln the Bllilo
and believed In it And from that day ho be
gan to heal rapidly until ho was ablo to take
up his practice again, aud now no as strong
and healthy u you or I. What, did tho other
physicians say? Oh. thuy dldn t say nnyth ng.
What could thoy say? Of course, fathor laid
bin recovery to divine healing, and ho bas be
hoved In it over slncu."
Mrs. Church was llrst tnkon sick three yoars
ngo. Sho hud n caucor In hor breast She
prayed with faith that It would bo healed, but
It was not, and sho turned to her Bible and
road: "Is any among you afflicted let him
pray, lsanyslckumongyou lethlm call for
tho elders of tho church; and let them pray
ovor him. anointing him with oil in thenamo
of tlio Urd: and tho prayer of faith shall savo
the sick, and tho Lord shall raise hm up."
So sho called In tho pastor nnd tho elders of
hor church. Their faith was not equal to tho
iniunotion. Thny told her that the days of
mlniclos had passed; that Christ hud per
formed miracles merely to show Ills power at
the time Ho was disbelieved. Mrs. Church dis
missed these mon. It Is, relnlod. with prayers
that their fnlth should bo strengthened and
tholr unbelief should bo driven away. And
then sho cunio to Nuvv Wk und visited tho
ltev. Mr. Simpson's college und dlvlno
hoallng institute in Eighth .avenue. Thoro
she was nnnolntod with oil in tho name
of tho Lord, and she thought sho was
cured, but hor dlsoajo continued. Mrs.
Church always assorted that this anointing
took away Irom her tho pain sho had suffered.
Whllushogrow worse sliu continually said sho
had no pain. Her faith did not wane, but she
was compolled to toko to her bod. nnd she
never rose from It strong in hor faith as she
was. It was her husband's custom to kneel
dally by her bedside and pray for berrecovery.
bho spent her time reading her Bible and pon
dering on what she road. Hho would not take
medicine, bho would not pormlt an oporatlon
to bo performed, and she pruvod for more fulth
for all those who told her sho was foolish to
llo thore and die without mnklng un offort to
save herself. She waschoerful In hor suffer
inc. LnH Saturday morning the Kev. John
Crnwford, tho pastor of her churoh. and tho
ltev. Mr. Von Harchwltz called on her. Thoy
pnw that her end was near und they told her
so. Sheanxwered: ..,,,. ,
" I have faith that tho Lord will keep nis
promise But tho Lord's will bo dono. Blessed
is the name of tlio Lord." , . ..
She became partially unconscious shortly
nfterward. She did not ereak again. Her
nurso noticed a troubled breathing on Mon
day. She oalled Dr. Church, but before ho
reuohod the bedside the sufferor v;os dead. .
From 30U to 5U) persons attended the funeral
yesterday aftornoon. All but a few wcro
women. The servlco was conducted by the
llov. John Crawford. Thero.was but ono ref.
erenoo in It to tho faith that hastoned her
death. The preacher spoko of tho simplicity
of hor hollo! In all that was contained In the
Bible.

and larceny ot jewels from her cousin.
Mrs. nargroavo". Tickets wore issued by
the Bhorlffs. but even this precaution did
not prevent tho building being packed to
excess. Mrs. Osborn was driven from IIol

and female attendant while a wardon sat
upon tho seat with the drivor.
The cab waa driven Into tho yard of the Cen

special permission being still with hor.
When her oaso waa called she was conduotod
up tho stops to tho dook. which stands about
six feot abovo tho floor of the room. Bhe fal
terod for a moment as she ontorod. but Immed

high that sightseers could only catch a glimpse
of her by craning their nooks, exoept those
who were in the gallery over the dock. Im

empanelled jurymen. . ....

and almost us much distressed as tho prisoner
herself. Capt. Osborne sat in the well of tho
court facing tho Jury. Justico Smith preoldod.
Mrs. Osborno was dressed in blapk. Bho
looked terribly wan and worn, and sobbed
convulsively. She was in a pondltlon of soml
collapse. She glanced at lior husband, who
held up his hands toward hor In abesoocblng
manner. Tho Indictment was read amid
breathless sllonce. and Cleric Avery said:
" Prisoner at the bar. do you pload guilty or
not guilty?" . . ..
Mrs. Osborne's voice was almost nnlnaudl
blewhispor os sho answered. ' Oullty.
Mr. Forrest Fulton then addrossod tho Court
In bohalf of tho Government . Tho. chnrgo of
larceny, ho said, might woll havo bconieitto
private prosocutlon. but It was lmposslblo to
overlook porjury. With these words ho would
leave tho caso In his lordship's hands.
Sir Charles liussoll followed in behalf of the
prisoner. Ho said that those best ocaualntod
with the prisoner wore sure that sho had beon
suffering from temporary aberration ot mind.
Slnco tho truth cnine to light tho nrlsonor bad
dono everything in hor power to repair the
mischief, and had made a voluntary surren

hud written to tho Treasury, asking that the
prisoner's trlnl might be delayed until after
the prisoner's confinement To this tlio
Treasury had refusod to aeoede. Ho lioppd
the Court would tako Into consideration the
prisoner's condition. . .
Mrs. Hnrgroaves bore aroso nnd sold in an
agitated voice: " May I speak ?"
Tho Judge Only on the appenl for mercy.
Mrs. Hargroavcs proceodeu between sobs:
"I appeal for morcy with all my heart I
hnvo known nnd loved Ethel nil mr life, and
nm convlncod that she was not In her right
mind." . . . .
Then Mrs. Hargreavos sat down, weeping
almost hysterically.
The Judge, in passing sentence said:, , ,
"Florence Ethel Osborne, you havo pleaded
cutlty to larceny and perjury. You stole your
frlond's jewels while stopping at her house,
and converted the proooeds of the theft to
your own uso. When tho llngor of suspicion
pointed toward you as the thief, you com
menced an nctlon to vindicate your character.
You were guilty of swearing folsoly and cor
ruptly In order to convince the jury that you
were not tho thief, and you sat still Instruct
ing eminent counsel to the effect that your
friends wore the thieves. It would nave been
impossible to forecast the result of the action
but for tho appearance of an unexpected wit
ness, and possibly the Hargroaveti might have
been forever stained with Ignominy.
His lordship then sentenced Mrs. Osborne
to nine months' hard labor, which was to be
such as the prison doctor would allow.
The prisoner had to be carried from court

Hetherlsfflea Waa Inttiae.
George Orover Robinson, whom Lieut 3. W.
Hetherlngton. U. B. N., klllod on Feb. 12 for
his attentions to Mrs. Hetherlngton, was a
business man ot excellent standing In Yoko
hama, and also one of tho leaders of the
foreign society, Holwent to Yokohama several
rears axo 'rom England, and becamo cashier
of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. As
soon as he had made a sufflotent acquaintance
he reslgnod from the bank and opened an
office as an exohnnge broker,
i aVaM'K Jfj9vfm.
'
Mrs. snsrc nawis mnriERrNiTo-.
He paid a good deal ot attention to his busi
ness, but did not let It interfere with his very
exacting social duties. Ho had a handsome fig
ure, and his face was much admired by women
deoptto the fact that he waxed his moustache.
Ho know how to ride, and In tho llttlo racos
got up by tho foreign sot he always rode In a
tightly fitting jookoy eostume,and carried no
end of boxes of candy and pairs ot gloves upon
his skill. Thore were a good many men who
did not like him bocause the women liked
him so welL These men said ho smiled too
much.
Yokohoma and Shanghai are the two ports
In tho China station which naval officers are
fond ot visiting. As Yokohama Is tho princi
pal port of Japan, thoro Is always at loast ono
war vessel from each of tho naval powors
anchored In Its doop and beautiful harbor. As
the climato of Yokohama Ib delightful, and as
living is ohean. tho wlvos of naval officer of
all oountties mako it tholr home when their
husbands are on vessels cruising In tho China
station. Tho presence of the naval officers
nnd their wives makes tho large foreign colony
very cay. and any officer in tho United States
Navy will toll how much he liked Yokohama. If
he has been there, or if he has not, how much
he would like to be ordored thore.

MB. OOWEIt ROBrNSON.
It seems that Llout Hetherlngton. who Is an
Iowa appointee but n few years out of tho Naval
Academy, was ordered on hia present cruise in
May of last year. Ho had got his promotion
to a Lioutennnoy of tho junior grade in Sep
tember of 18)i). and had been married u short
time afterward, so it is said. Mrs. Hetherlng
ton cannot havo been In Yokahama much
longer than since last fall, and the flirtation
with Mr. ltoblnson is of very recent date.
From tho story in the despatches of Mrs. Ad
miral Belknap s rocognlzingnnd advising Mrs.
Hetherlngton since the shooting, and of Mrs.
Hotherlngton's being Invited to a dinner in
Yokahama. it may beiuforrod that Yokahamu
society puU upon Mr. ltoblnson alone tho
blnmo for tho tender lettors in his handwriting
which Lieut Hetherlngton found, and accuses
Mrs. Hetherlngton of nothing more than
youtntul folly.
None of the naval officers here ts acquainted
with the Hethorlngtons, and none of them was
willing to express an opinion of the affair for
publication with his name. But tho sentiment
was that If Lieut Hothorington acted upon the
advlco ot his brother officers, be must have
had good ground for summarily putting an
end to Robinson. It appears that Mrs. Hether
lngton was a very beautiful as well as a very
foolish person, and that she had llttlo sonse ot
where the line should be drawn by a married
woman In receiving attentions from a
bachelor. "Even It sho didn't havo tho
senso." said a naval officer yesterday, "tho
man ltoblnson must havo known. And when
he set down in his own handwriting his lovo
for a married woman and addressod it to her.
he took his life into his hands. I think that
Llout Hctliorlngton showed great forbear
ance. The man persisted In trying to compro
ralso Mrs. Hetherlngton. and Llout Ilethor
Ington. as hor protector, could not In honor
longer refrain from ondlng Itoblnson's
caroer. He was probably one ot that
type of bachelors found everywhere,
always poaching, and novor happy unloss en
dangering the good namo ot some marrlod
woman and the domestic happiness ot two per
sons. I think that a woll-dlrectod bullet or
sword-thrust is tho only cure for such a per
son. Llout. Hotherlngton did his plain and
simple duty ns an ofllcor ot tho United States
Navy. HIb was conduct most besoming an
officer and a gontloman."

Henry has beon In this country throe years.
Thoy havo been throe years of ups and downs,

MR. CON KLIN AND TOE MENAGERIE.
Remove ofa New tavestlsatlea of aa Ola
Charge.
It Is likely that within a short time an Inves
tigation will be begun by tho oity Into the
management by William A. Conkltn ot the zo
ological oolloctlon In Central Park. For nearly
two years all sorts ot rumors have been
rlfo concerning tho conduct of this cherished
city department and a year ago last summer
an offort was mado to have It submitted to a
rigid examination. In August, 1890. tho Com
missioners of Accounts Investigated the de
partment, and the Mayor wroto a vory long
lottor to tho Pnfk Board inviting tholr atten
tion to tho Commissioners' report
On the following day tho report was mado
public It was rumorod that tho report had
boen toned down, and that speoiflo chnrgos
had boen moderatod. According to tho re
port, a horse, buggy, and harness pickod up in
tho Pnrk in 1887 woro reported to be In
use by Superintendent Conklln, no efforts
having been made to find the owner;
tho shoeD account showed a shortage of six
sheop. and in the account ot "short " or miss
ing animals nppearod Ithroo monkoys. an
ngoutl. four boars, acoatlmundi, awoodchuck.
eovou raccoons, six foxes, lone clvit oat two
Kerry cattle, ono fallow doer, ono mongoose,
and sov on 'possums.
Tho report addod: "This zoological collec
tion and its management is. in our opinion,
largoty run In personal Interest" Tho roport
said that of $'JB,281 spent for additions to tho
fol lections. $14.H88 was for animals bought ot
'rank J. Thompson, of whom tho Commis
sioners said:
"HIh headquarters appoared to bo at tho
Arsonal. Central Park. and. although ho np-
fioarod by his billheads to havo boon the agent
n this country of Charles Uagenbeck of Ham
burg, he appears to havo no recognition In the
trado.
"By Inquiry at tho Custom House we learned
that tho animals shlppod to this port by Hng
onbock and consigned to otthor Thomuson or
O' Duffy are taken direct from the ship to Cen
tral Park, and are entered at tho Custom
Houso as If lntondod for breeding purposes
there, and as a conseouenco aro admlttod froo
of duty, while. In fact, but a small porcontage
are Intended for or ever purchasod by tho city,
the breeding purpose and exhibition at the
Park being mado a subterfugo In many in
stances to got thorn entered froo of duty."
From thai tlmo the matter slept but recent
ly it has beon ngltatod again. It Is known that
it will get to the Mayor in an official way be
fore long, if it has not already done so.
Mr. Conklln was told of the now movo against
blm last hisht
This Is the old story." he said. "So far as
It oharges me with using my place In
the Park In any lmpropor manner,
or for tho purpose of making money
In illegitimate ways. It is false. I novor had
any partnership or Interest with olther Mr.
Thompson or with Mr. Haganbaoh of Ham
burg. I ha- bought animals for tho park of
both of thorn. Nobody could have bought nny
African animals at llrst hands without doing
business with thorn, for thoy control the
market
"Thompson usod to spend a great doal of
his time with me In my offioo In the Arsenal
building, but that was tho extent of our per
sonal relations. Ho wont out ot business
threo years ago and loft this city. All tlio ani
mals that came to the Park paid duty oxcopt
those that woro Importod for breeding
Surposop. Those wero exompt by law.
either Is it truo that I have rented out ani
mals that wero kept in tho Park. Animals
that dlil not belong to the city hove been kept
In the Park, but all tho facts regarding them
were publicly known.
"I havo beon thirty-throe years in tho Park.
It looks as If somebody was aftor my scalp."
WHO WILL GET JEROME PARKT

It was learned last night from an authorita

Joekoy Club, whoso raoe track is at Gutton
burg, has boen negotiating for the loasoof Je
rome Park, with the intention ot racing there
during tho coming season in opposition to
ono or moro of the tracks governed by the
Board of Control.
Tho Monmouth Park Racing Association has
boon driven from Its own track near Long

tho Jeromo Park nnd Morris Park tracks, hav

It was hlntod some time ago that In case

Tho Monmouth Pnrk folks practical

Thoro will bo a mooting ot tho Monmouth

myriads of gray sea gulls have had their feed

dled yesterday aftornoon to a hearing before
tho Assembly Committoo on Commerce nnd

and Frank Loomis appe.iro t for the railroad,
and Mr. Bowers offered as un amendment to
tho original bill tho following damngo clause;
"All damages to real proporty. If any. caused
by the change of grade In tho railroad hereby
authorized shall bo paid by tho railroad com
pany, and. It the railroad company shall be
unablo to agree with tho owners and persons
lntorosted in said real property as to the
amount of such damages, tho somo shall be
ascertained by the provisions ot the Condem
nation law."
Mr. Charles W. Dayton, as the representa
tive of tho proporty ownors In Harlom. brlofly
presented tho elovatod causeway or viaduct
plan which Is supportod In Harlem. It pro
poses to do away with tho plan of the bill
which would closo cortaln streotB by continuing
tho presont system of partially sunken tracks
and to substitute a viaduct much llko an elova
tod railway structure, which shall begin at
tho mouth of the tunnel and run by
nn easy grado up to Harlom bridge
as It Is to bo olevatod. This will
tako tho present Central and Harlem
tracks out ot tho tunnels and outs
they now run In and eorry them over and
abovo the present surface lines, and thus
allow all stroots to pusb freely underneath.
According to Mr. Dayton, tlio plan
would open olght or nine streets now
blocked nnd close none. The bill passed
ns it was, ho said, would destroy property
values in and about I'ark avonue, and cause
tho abandonment of the 1 25th street station,
since tho grudo would bo too heavy to permit
trains to stop.
Mr. Bowers said that If tho municipal au
thorities and tho people of Harlom wantod to
run trna-H irom mo tunnel to tno uriuge on an
elevated structuro. and tho city was willing to
bear its Bharo of tho additional expense, and
the Legislaturo was willing to pass such a bill
and adjourn the consideration of tho present
till tho now plan could bo acceptable to the
road. Tho Central would not lnternose an ob
