PLAYS OF FUN AND MUSIC. " tub gold nua," a TitArnaxx or POLITIC ANDSOCIETI. MeBoBouch ad Heraert'a Itr Plea at tha Caalno A Revival of "A Parlor Match" at tha Ilerald Baaaro-The De but or Aana Hela, a Pari Ballaalit. At the Casino last nlgbt, a new ntertalnmnt of th Casino kind was pnt forth, but It did not tak a plce In the etrlet of Casino tuccetset. The play was entitled "The Gold Bug." The writers were Gltn McDonough as to the words and Victor Urbrl a to the notes. Both are capable of excellent theatrical work, as proven In previous composition! separately, but tbelr collaboration hat not been effectual. They have endeavored to make fnn and muslo after the manner of " The Merry World " and "In Gay New York," but hardly any of their nonsense it laughable, while tbe tatlrlratlon of politics and society Is by no msnns keen. It Is easy to is Mr. Mc Donough't Intentions of wit and humor, and It Is difficult to discern th reasons why so fsw of them ar realized In the perform ance. All tbat ran he tald of them It that, tomehow or other, what he has meant for fnn I not funny a It come acrott th foot light to an audience. True, the company I not nearly so clever as those usually employed at the Casino, and tucb talent at It possesses does not sem to hare been fully utilized. Tbe stage management I Isi and uncertain. Never theless, the play Itself is worthless for any pos sible purpose of amusement. Several of Mr. Herbert's tunes ara good, but they are lost In ltt general fallnre. The curtain did not rite until 0 o'clock. An apologist who came before th curtain ascribed the delay to a non-arrival of some costumes. There were two acta In the piece, with SO mlnutts of Intermission between them, and yet the pleoe curtain fell a little after 11. The perform, anc wa not prolonged by many encores, a tho audience became apathotlo early, and even tbe enthusiasm of well wlshsr soon froz into tlence, while hundreds departed before the repressntatlon was over. Under the circumstance It Is not worth while to go Into particulars of " The Gold Bug's " sub ject matter. Tho action Is placed In Washing ton. There It a Sec-eiarr of the Treatury as a central figure, around which are lott of office seekers, Indians from a reservation, sailors on beard a war ship, and girls devoted tn athletic sports. The start I made by a chorus of the muscular maiden prettily and spiritedly, but evervthlng and everybody soon be comes Indistinct and almost meaning less. There are faint Indications of a story about the Naval Secretary being a renegade Indian chief, and th last Incoheront episode of the piece shows him a captive in tho hands of his trlbo. There are maay discon nected bits of travesty and farcicality, which, with better actors, might be laughable, and no doubt the repellent temperof last night's audience unded to discourage the persons on th stag; but after making all such allowances Prompted by kindliness, the assemblage found It quit Impossible to think well of "The Gold Bug." Th happy reunion of Messrs. Evans and Hoey. which was realized last night at the Herald Square Theatre, Is something for whloh theatregoers have every reason to b grataful. Mr. Hoey is a clever comedian, and Mr. Evans, sine the day of their first association, has showed himself a most capable "buffer" be tween the pnbllo and William Hoey' eccentric fun. If he wr meraly a variety actor he would b called" a fedr." and he succeeds In mak ing Mr. Hoey's own humor shine so clearly that he Is a particularly capable actor of his kind. Th two comedians rmo tn. gethr last nlgbt. In the presence of an audience which was Inclined toward them, not only with the spirit of gratitude at their reap pearance, bnt with friendliness toward a thea tre that hat succeeded in providing during its short caresr an unusually succttsfnl suc cession of piayt. "A Parlor Match," one of Charles Hoyt'a earlier plays and tbe one in which the two comedians flret made tnelr reputations presented them again together. Its merits hav been made known through sea sons or usage. In that time tb natural, unstrained humor of William Hoey wa made popular throughout tho country. 7he assistance of Charles Cram showed U T'u5 ' 'he same time, and Minnie trench, during these rears, was an active repre sentative of the leading woman part In tho pi '! w'k- floe'.,iole TrTthlng in and out of eight with his old unction: Mr. Cram was al ways his nimble and ready foil, and Miss French contributed as much aa she ever had to the success of these antics. There had been mad obvious efforts to bring th pleeedownto that stage vaguely described as up to dat." It wa. not th fault of any of lu actors that it seemed to belong IS . ,WTiod ,hRt not Just the one that Is accepted as the standard In this ye",rJi of V" , PJ." ot th,s kind age rapidly, and nnlnoklly comedians' methodt sometimes age with thm. So even with WIN llam Hoey "A Parlor Match" seemed omewhat lee amusing than It used to be. Why should Mr. Evans, for instance.. order a glass of beer through a telephone and then take tbe tlas out of tha box? Mr. Dlxeyused to do this ten years ago. Much had been said here about Anna Held, who sang In the second act and wa presented as one of the chief features of the play. Un doubtedly the piece needed a feature. Mile, Held, unluckily, came up to some of tbe pre llmlnary promises about her. It was gen erally known that ah was on of the Parts rachantant singer who had succeeded In attracting attention through her looks chiefly as ber photographs revealed them. But sho must be a good subject for tho camera. She is In no sense of the word a beauty, and proved to be. In fact, rather abnormally gifted with a small body and an unusually largo head, bhe has a fine ey. bnt a crook nose and a figure too diminutive In Its proportions to attract attention In n way or another, bhe was piquant, chic, and Parisian in tha way that all the French mnslo hall singers ore. But sbe was quite destitute of any distinctly quality, bhe sang two songs or the conventional muslo hall ivno and put on a enaebmnn's hat for the second of them. Hut the audience found nothing about her tbat a half dozen women have notalreodr shown on onr muslo ball stag, tine or her onts, addressed to a member or the or chestra. was so much belter done three years ago by Mario Vanonl that her own lack or effectlvenest tadly recalled that clever tlnger.

Sit Charlea Topper In th nonseof Commons to-night took up the ques tion of the Aberdeen-Tuppsr correspond ence regarding the resignations of the lato Ministers of the Crown. He said tb Canadian system of government was the tame as that ot England. In what ha had to say he disavowed hit Intention to assail the per sonal representative of the sovereign. He then proceeded to give a review of the correspond ence which patted between himself and Lord Aberdeen. He argued tbat the Governor-General wat not In a position to know tho ttrength of the political partlet In the country by any otbervmean than by vota of the House of Commons, and therefore hit Excellency had no right to lay as he did that Sir Charles would not have a majority In the House If he did summon Parliament. He cited a number of authorities to show that Parliament alone was the only authority which could decide the result of election. "He characterized tho conductor hit Excel, lenoy on the whole matter to be actuated by partisanship. Crlttof "Order" from Govern ment tide of Ilout The Speaker ruled that lnc tbe leader of the Government ha becom ratponslble for what hit Excellency bat done. It is not parliamentary to accuse the Gov-ernor-Gencral of being a partisan." Sir Chart Tupptr said h had no desire, therefore, to accuse the Governor-General of being a partisan, but If a document which Ills Excellency addressed to him had been written by a partisan It could not hav been moro tronglr worded than it wa Sir Charles Tupper In concluding his long speech said he hoped the day would never come when the Governor-General would be looked upon merely nn a representative of a party, nnd not of the wholo people of Canada. Premier Laurier. In reply, said much of Mr. Topper's speech about the Constitution wat right, but It was an application of these prlncl- S let which he did not agree with. Lord Aber een did no wrong to tbe people or Canada and therefore he could not bo censured. Ihe Governor-General stood by the rights of the peo ple. The name of Aberdeen, like that of Elgin, would be revered by tho people of Canada for standing by th Constitution and Government and tbe rights of the people. Sir Charles Tupper had been defeated at th polls by th people, and If Lord Aberdeen would bare permitted him he would have stuck to office until he was one more kicked ont by the people.

Hunters for time out of mind have been pick Ing up tbe horn of deer In tho woods. This has bsen the case aspeolally In the preserved forests of Europe. Now a correspondent of the London Field writes to protest against this practice be cause ho associates It with the decreasing size of dser In fenced preserves. He writes. "Is It not a mistake to gather the cast deer horns to the extent which Is now so prevalent in every deer forest? and has not this some thing to do with the deterioration In the antlers of 'the present day? lean remember tbe time when no such thing was practised, and who will dispute the fact that the bends wer better then than now In my opinion tb tbed horns of tbe deer Is nature s great tonic, sselng also that they are so fond or eating tbem."

I shall need a large storeroom. I think It will be bettor to take a small house. Hmr do you go about It when you want to take a small house?" Thus a young wife. The sentences quoted aro not n summary of several couversntlona on the subjeot, but were uttered In a strlng.and almost In a breath, because the young wife know exactly what tho wanted, and had the rare faculty of being able to express her desire 1 clearly and succinctly. The hnsband knew nough of th ways of the world to be nwaro of the fact that the proper thing to do when ou wanted a small house was to ask a real estate agent for nn. lbe rual estate agent happened to har on hand exactly what was wanted. Efo they went to sco It. Tho real estate agent began his work on the outside, and first tried to count the number of oolors with which the house was painted. Then he dwelt upon the solidity of the foundations, and said that the kitchen range was now. Then he ehowjd them through the parlor and dlnlns room on the same ftooor, and dilated upon the superior character of the window catches for keeping out sneak thieves, and proved that the burglar alarm was In good working order. H took them np to the nttio and thumped the roof to show that It was sound, and then dovt n Into the cellar to seo how dry It was, and what a furnace there was. Then ho oxhlbl ted tho sani tary plumbing and the washtnbs andlthe ser vants' stairs nnu the butler's pantry and the tradesman's entrance and the gas blllt for a year patt and the open flreplncos lined with tiles and the new gas fixtures and many other tlilngt, and then turned upon his customers with n trlumphnn face and tald: "Protty neat affair. Itn't It?" "Yes," replied" the husband enthusiastically. But the young wife's faco was dark with sus picion, wnlch soon grew Into conviction as she demnnded : 'Where Is the steam heat?" The agent, with all tho triumph knocked out of his face, explained thnt there wasn't any ttaam heat, bnt that the furnaco was only three years old, and had already been repaired seventeen times, and had cost twl:o Its origi nal prlc In furnacemon's bills, and to It must snrely be In good order now: nnd besides there were so many open fireplaces that the furnace must bo capable of keeping tho house comfort-' able with their aid, and, any wuy, they would find gas stoves cheap and convenient. If they shonld bo needed, and lastly thoy could have wonthor strips plnced on all tho doors and win dows at a comparatively slight ex Dense. Weather strips don't cost an ting like they used to." ho said In conclusion. But the young wife replied that she ex pected steam heat. "I know perfectly well what I want." sho said, and I should not be content hero with out steam heat. Itlsn necessary for any houc." Then the wretched real estate agent io torted that he had nineteen other houses to let and twenty-seven moro to soil at fn'-u-lonely reduced prices (this was In ono of thoo suburban paradises whero they try to mnko It an object to vou not to pay rent, but to own your own hpmo) nnd none of them had steam heat, and ou tho whole ho wai mighty clad of it. 'It was clearly Imposslblo that wo should ever uve there." said tbo young wifo after ward, and so perhaps it nasqulto as well tDn.w. "Han't find st-am heat in the house." While tho young wlfo knew oxactl) what the wanted, her husband had not under stood tho conditions she had sot for hersolf clearly up to that point. Hsvlng nosr a full comprehension of tho Importance of steam heat, he emphasized the point to the next real estato agent tn hom he applied. Ily n lucky chancu this agent happened to have on hand exactly what was wanted, and to provo It ho took the couple to see the property. To satisfy them nt the start upon tho Im portant point of ttm heat, he began by tak ing them down into the cellar. He shoed them the big boilers and tbe dlrty-foced fire man and the oily engineer, and told them how many tons of coal tha boilers consumed o month, and pointed out the new-fangled devices on the steam radiators to prevent them from rattling, and described how most of tho tenant kept the steam shut off all winter, so well heated nnd comfortable was the building Then he took them up stairs and showed how snuglv tho windows were fitted to present draughts, and how tho rooms wero fitted with npparnms lor Tentilatlng them on scientific principles, and wound up by saying with decision nnd conviction: If you want to bo suug nnd comfortable, you can t do better than rnmo here " There's certnlnly lots of steam heat," ex claimed tho husband enthusiasticnllv. But the young wife was looking nbout her in a rur.loil manner. "Whero nre tho stairs?" sho askod. But this Is a flat nnd lints don't have stairs, m dear," said her husband. Stairs Is It the ladv wants?" cx:latmed tho agent Jovfnllv. "Wo supply no end of them.

Thus the stairs and tho steam heat appeared to fit In perfectly nnd tho house seemed to be an Idoal one for a person Interested In stairs nnd team beat. All this tbo real eBtnto ngent explained with considerable eloquence. "Splondldl" exclaimed the husband enthu siastically when the ngent had concluded.

I shall never forget his appearance. He was pale and haggard, greatly agitated and trembling from head to foot He had apparently an Intuition that something serious was to happen to him. When seated, I opened the conversation by say lng to Mr. Booth: " ' You see by my card that I am In the secrtt service; and am obliged to tak. you to Wash ington. D. C.

Before leaving the house I said to him that I would not, as wat customary, put the handcuflt on him, and that no one on tbe street I wonld know that he waa under arrest, addlnc, You cannot get away from me, because I am armed,' " ' 1 pledge myself as a gentleman.' replied Mr. Booth, ' that I will not try to get away.'
