,, iinmM and Catchy Tune In "The

Seville ludlenre Itesnrda a romln Opera
Dans Uotre Among liramalUla and Actors.
Tho rauslo hill of Wcbcr & Flolds was re
BDeneJ last nlctht, Tho entertainment botrnn
with an hour of vaudeville, and then "Tlio
Olad Hand." a new cxtruvairnnzn, was Dor
' formed until nearly mldnlwlit. This affair had n
semblance of ilramntlo form, with nn author
tt Its words In Kennoth Leo, and a composer of
ti muilc In John Strombore. Thcro wcro a few
consecutive and coherent Idois contcrnlni: a
ieeper of a scivshoro hotel and n miner from the
Klondike, both of whom were fooled out of
money by tho tricks and devices of two pairs of
sharpers.
It will bo sufllclont description of thesoslx
characters to say that three of them were Ger
mans, enacted by Mr. Weber, Mr. Fields, and
Bam Bernard; that two of tho smooth
.-trailers were Peter P. UnlloT and Charles
J. Ross, and that the othor follow was
John T. Ifelloy. All these ore comedians whose
methods have become familiar at this house,
sxceptlnit Mr. Dalloy, who found a now
and appropriate place there. Tremendous
favorites theso six actors wcro with an entirely
congenial audience, and the author of tho piece
hail given them things to do that wcro within
their very comic ablllllos.
There was a-plonly of witticism In tho text,
spoken anil sunn, and tho hoarers found It laugh
able. Not all of It was Dollte. and eomo of It would
h unlntolllclhle to others than frcquentors
of music uaIIs. but It was tho sort of stuff that
successful Weber & Fields entertainments are
made of, and therefore must bo ratod as a tri
umph In Its way.
It was presented in a careful and even lavish
style, too. There are oxcellcnt actors and
singers In the company at this house.
The mountlnss are rich as to costumes,
though the costumes often show ularmlnix
amounts of bare women. Tho sc-rnory Is as good
nstboemnllness of the etntre will permit, nnd
the manitfremant Is In soma respects artistic
lTho Glad Uand " Is quite as clever
as any of Its predecessors excepting "The
Qwier." Its first audience was entliuslastlo
over It. Tho tobacco siuoSo was nemo, tho
beverages flowed copiously, and the hilarity
was not bounded by the footlights.
Ulcer's Eighth Avenue Is awash with a bil
low of reJirm. and for this week's six nights
and three aftomoons Is a home of comic opera.
Its floors have been flushed, too, and Its walls
en freshly decorated. The opera Is a new one,
ths book original witn Octaus Cohen, an ex
fart professional writer, the uiusto has been pro
wled by Robert HccLer, and Is named "Tho
Oawlooler." Though a very different IbliiF
from tho free and easy burlettas that ordi
narily hold this house. It Is, nevertheless. In
charge of vocalists ripe In audacious burlesque
service, and the tasto whlcn dominates such
affairs has laid Its marring hand on the opera.
The book suffers most, for much of it that ts
not versification falls to tho comedians, who
are a wild and woolly lot. There are four of
them, each getting Into sVIrts before tho opera
is over as a concession to reform's demand for
irsped limbs. With all but one, who is ths
grotesque fomale character. It seems more de
lightful to swcat than to draw salary, so pro
fanity brings laughter where tho author's lines
are discarded by those "creators" of characters.
Two of them are cheeVy Ufa Insurance agenta,
whose pursuit of a third as a possible Insurer Is
marked by an acrobatlo intensity that uiakoa
their specialty of high kicking, between the
acta, seem like a repetition. Tho other two are
paired as husband and wife, both using Ger
man dialect when they don't forget It, one sing
ing In a squeaky falsetto, the other In tones so
husky that he welcomes being occasionally over
whelmed by the chorus women. In these come
I Alans Is the soundest evidence of the newly
turned leaf, for all are skirted to the ankles.
But that la only for one act. In the second there
U no reason for the audience to staro at the ecs
tasies In bewilderment, and to wonderlnnly
search the playbill to learn what man-iccr has
gone daft. The costumes "are by Haves."
I vbich is phonetically suctrcstlve. Not only
are outlines closely followed and draperies
H lsft out, but the corset coverings are of a dlf
n total color from the fle-hiwis, and, that there
' fair by no mistaking where shoe top ends and
leg begins, another contrast of colors murks
ths place. Hut the book does not supply the
fort of witticisms that usually attend on shame
less costumes, and the comedians, though will
ing, are but specialists after all. The musio
fires better. Nettie Do Coursey certainly does
not abuse it. and much of it falls to her, yet h r
trills lack the brasalness that Dlereos to the es
teem of the Eighth Avenue's vaudeville patrons.
There's yip to the cborusos, but after that tlrst
tuned set the women are In poor repute, and
their bearers fail to reco.nil7e tho onrrcs of
the composer's airs, or they might bo comforted
by the knowledge that some of them are easily
traced back to master hands. Noxt weea the
gods will have their customary show of stunts
and dances; in the meantime. It is being made
apparent here that reform has othor troubles
than those of nominating.
Many new plays are being acted tentatively
"on the road" prior to possible use In New York,
bit several p-oductlons this week are In big
cities. "A Man of Ideas," by Sydney Itosen
feld, is being acted in Boston. It contains the
character of a trolley boomer for Holnnd Heed,
and It Is said to fit the actor well. One scene
is a eomlo Shakespearean rehearsal. "Fort
Frayne," which the Actors' Society failed to
bring out here last spring. Is current In Chi-
cago. It was written In collaboration by Copt.
Charles King; Amy Sheridan Pry, and Annie
Sutherland. Afterward Capt. King Issued a
version of It as a novel. The cri'Jcs any that,
with condensation and alteration, it will suo
ceed. The scene and characters in "Blind Justice,"
Is which Clara Morris is acting at tho Union
Square, are French, and so aro the motive and
mannsr of the work. Therefore, Tub Son
asked if Kenneth Lee was not "either bold or
careless In claiming the sketch as his own."
Hr. Lee writes In response that it is not taken
from any foreign source, but Is his work "In
very seme of the word, and Is "as original as
the motive will allow."
Wo are to have two "Independent" theatres
next winter. The first Impulse Is to smile at
Web news. Tho fiasco of the Theatre of Arts
ana Letters Inclined many people to oxpect
Joining but pretentious foolishness from en
lures of that sort. But we may fairly expect
agreeable results In these Instances. The
alumni of the Academy of Dramatic Arts will
produce at intervals flvo plays, to be selected
p a committee and performed by professional
actors who have beenrraduated from tho school.
STne other enterprise Is under tho direction of
nerles B. Cochran, and Is culled the Indepen
ent , Theatre. Ii will bring out soveral of
ipoeae works, bosidos such native pieces as
may be deemed desirable,

Ths Ht Prnnptly Ttaa Vp Her Mtaeklas; and
Miss earlier Irrramed and Valated.
A big black rat wandered out of nn unoccupied
house on South street, near Webstor avenue,
Jersey City, at about 0 o'clock Tuesday night.
It strolled slowly down toward tho corner, and
then perched on the edge of the gut tor to enjoy
tho cool breeze that sweeps across the height
nightly.
On the front stoop of a house across the road
sat a cat. tie was black, too; also large. About
twenty feot nwuy from the rat stood two girls.
Thoy wore Margaret Hjholler, 17 years old, of
338 Now York uvenue, and her Intimate friend,
ICnto Dixon, 18 3 ears old, of Sherman avenue
and Congress street. The girls didn't see the
rat, and tho rat didn't see the cat, which was
uufortunnta for evorvbody but the cat. The lat
ter, wltn the strategy for w hich Jersey City cats
are noted, did not spoil his name by rushing
hastily at the rut. Instead, ho sneaked off the
stoop, crawled up the street a way on his stom
ach, crossed over to the same sldo with tho rat,
and then came wandering down the block, keop
ing wed tip against the tencos.
The death of the rat would have been sudden
If it had continued to concontrata its attention
on the breeze n few seconds longor than It did.
Also much trouble and excitement would have
been savod. As It was, howover, the rat turned
Its head when the cat was still a fow feet away,
observed the approach of the enemy, and pro
ceeded to light nut. The cat (rave a yowl of dis
appointment and started In pursuit. The yowl
caused Misses Schcller and Dixon to turn
around. They mw the cat; also the rat.
"A rati" shrieked MnrvareU
"Ow, ow, wowl" crlod Kate.
"Sue us, save usl" screamed both.
There was nobody to come to ths rescue,
thoimh. The rat was perfoctly willing to go In
the other direction, but there waa tho oat, and
the latter showed no intention of giving up the
chase.
A man would think, under the circumstances,
that thore was more safety in skirts than In
mero sto kings. Not so Misses Scheller and
Dixon. They couldn't move from where they
stood, they were so badly frightened, but they
pulled their skirts up to their knees and Just
stood and screamed.
There was no time for choosing and the rat
didn't spend any that way. lie Just landed on
Miss Scholler's calf. Mlss8choller dropped her
skirts, and the rat was a prisoner whother ha
would or not.
"Oh, he's on me, he's on met" cried Mlsi
Scheller, dancing around and waving her arms
in I he air.
"Squeeze hlml" advised Miss Dixon, who had
backed off some distance from her friend.
"Oh, Ioan't I" replied Miss Scheller. But she
did Just the same.
She gribued the rat at a point Just above her
knee. The rat squraled and wriggled. Miss
Schcller let go and screamed some more. The
rat started to rltmbdonn ugaln, but be stopped
midway, and Miss Schcller Just gave a final
scream and fell over on the sidewalk In a faint.
It was Miss Dixon's turn to sere m some more
now. nd she did it so well that Bicycle Pollco
mnn Snlffen came riding up at full speed. He
started to raise Miss Scheeler to her fret, and in
doinc so raised her skirt a bit. Out ran the rat,
and the cat, which had bean lunging around,
gave chase onie more. He captured the rat a,
few yards n way. and a minute later it breathed
its Inst in the gutter.
Miss Scheller was taken to a nearby drag
store snd restoratlvos were administered. She
regained consciousness a iter a while and then
went home. Miss Dixon went with her, and tho
Llcvrle cop rode away. The cat went across the
street to its old prrch on the stoop and licked its
lips for half an hour.

Ho leaves Providence ror Twrnty.ronr Hears
Will Uslei Mr. nalkerl
Providence, U. L, 8epU 2. President Ad
draws of Brown University has been notified
officially that tho corporation of the university
desires him to withdraw his letter of resigna
tion, lie left town this afternoon, but said be
fore going avrav that he waa not prepared to
make public his decision relative to the request.
Pending this it is believed that be will remain
at least the nominal bead of the university.
There Is some curiosity now as to where John
Brisben Walker and his "new university" come
in. It was expected that Dr. Andrews would
assume charge of that institution next month,
and it was understood generally that the pre
liminaries bad been arranged. It was Inti
mated that Dr. Andrews left the city to moot
Mr. Walker, who U in Saratoga, but It was also
said here that Dr. Andrews was not going to
Saratoga and would return to the city within
twenty-tour hours.
There is no doubt that certain members of the
Executive Committee of the corporation are
chafrrined over Dr. Andrews's treatment of
them, and tho." were outspoken In their report
to the corporation. They said that tbey pre
sumed a satisfactory settlement of the matter
bad been mnde at their Interview with Dr.
Andrews, and when they left him there was an
implied understanding that no farther action
would be taken pending the meeting of tho cor
poration. To their groat surprise Dr. Andrews
re-Igned a few days later and made publlo his
letter of resignation.
Dr. Andrews takes direct lssne with the Ex
ecutive Commit toe and said in his letter to the
corporation that bo knew of no understanding
such as was referred to by the committee. It
became known to-day that some of the students
who are In the city bad planned to make a bon
fire or an efUgv of Congressman Walker of Mas
sachusetts. Their plan reached the ears of
some of the cooler students, and tbey were com
pelled to abandon It.

At the request of Mayor 8trong, President
O'Brien of tbe Dock Board made a statement

FUXERAL OF JAMES E. rALZOTTOS.

Funeral sorvlces over tbe remains of James
L. Vallotton. who died at St. Luke's Hospital on
Monday, were held yesterday morning In the
hospital chapel. Only a few of bis friends were
present and half a dozen of his relatives. The
interment took place in the Sbellls burial plot
In Greenwood Cemetery, where Mrs. Vallotlon's
remains are burled.
Mr. Vallotton was a well-known menibcrof the
Union League Club, having lived at tho club
house since 1838. He wus 74 years old. He
spent most of bis time in the club library and
was never known to have been engaged in any
sort of business. All that was known of him by
the other club members was that he alwajs
dressed well and seemed to have an abundant
supply of money. His rooms at the clubhouse
were richly furnished and contained man) valu
able paintings. In the summer ho mdo his
home at tbe house of the i'asque Island Club,
near New Bedford, Mass. He was lit one time
President of the club.
borne oi tbe Union League's members were of
the opinion that Mr. Vallotton had a fad of col
lecting rare and precious yems. A stury whs
circulated to tht effect that ho hadiiccuiiiiilaiod
a collection of diamonds valued at ilioo.ooo,
and that he bad theso with blm three we, ksugo
when be was admitted to St. Luke's Hospital,
llr. Conger, who admitted him to the bojpital,
denied this yesterday,
Mr. Vallotton was born In Savannah, (la.
After bis father's death his mother came North
with him and settled in this city. In ItiOohls

strike when he snld; "Tho fact is that thcro Is
not enough varloty in tho strlko for the wo
men. They want to bnvo moollngs of tholr

strikes result In hardships for senno of tho strik

who write the lnbor troublos, that a largo pro
portion of the strlkors look forward to tho vol

If "8ogcr" Flynn wore alive and represent
ing tho Battery district In tho Board of Alder
men, tho City Hull would undoubtedly ring
with his protests against what teems to bo n
slight to tho memory of hli old Mend, Harry
Howard. Tho vetoran fireman's portrait baa
hung for many uarn In tho Aldoruion's cham
ber hosldo tho portraits of Thomas Jedm-on,
Andrew Jackson, Hoary Clay, Jamos Monroe,
and Zachary Taylor, and no stntoiman could
hope to represent n downtown district In the
Aldormanlo chamber If he wore not willing to
assent with emphasis that Harry Howard was
as good a man as was ever painted In oils. Jef
ferson and Jackson and Monroo wore all right,
but they bad nover run wiih the old inncblno.
In the old days whenever thoro was anything
nameless hanging around, from a baby to a
street, "Soger Flynn's sonorous volro lilted it
solf to suggost, as a mutter of privilege or of
routlno Imslne-w, that tho name of his old
friend Harry Howard waB a pood one. Iho
deplorable condition of tho portraits in tho Al
dormanlo chamber attracted tho attention of
Morris 1C. Jcnup and ho offered to have them
cleaned and restorod. His oHer was aeceptod,
and on Wo-ine-dav s trurkman took awav tho
Hve statesmen and left behind Ilarrj Howard.
The olock of Trinity Church, In being five
minutes fast, has helped the Wall etrcot cab
men to many an unexpected fare during tbo
past wook, but It is doubtful If tbo clocks over
tbo city that are slow or fast from lime to time
ever help anjhody. There were jesterduy
morning four large clocks on Hroudnay between
Thirty-third street and City Hall square which
had stopped altogcther.nnd It happened that nuns
of them pointed to an hour which ould possibly
have been mistaken for anything near the time.
The neareil approaoh to the tlmo was found
In the case of a clock In front of a Jewelry chop,
and 'his was within about two hours of tho
actual time. Several of tho hotel clocks up
town lny off from active work at Intervals,
and from tho length of tlmo thoy aro allowed
to rest It ii evident that their owners lake a
verr lax view of their eccentricities.
"11 would seom to me." said ono of the city
officials In sreaking of this mutter, "that a
man who puts up a puhlle cock H unuer soma

Margaret Craven, who was married In San

Xerthern Cltlee Pretest Against What Tbey
Canslder Unfair Discrimination.
A conference waa held at the Produce Ex
change yesterday betwoen representatives of
the prominent commercial organizations ot this
city, Boston, and Philadelphia for the purposo
of discussing how best to secure the abolition ot
tho rule which permits vessels In Southern porta
to load deeper than those nt tho ports named.
The subject ts not a new ono. but It w as thought
that a Joint protest to tho British Board of
Trade, which practically controls tho matter,
would bavo n good result.
Tho ruling was made by tho British Board of
Trado four years ago, and applies to all ports
north of Baltimore. Prolosts hnvo ulrendy been
sent to tbe President of thn board by the com
mercial organizations of Philadelphia, where
the ngllivtlon ngalusl the rulo bus been eontldcd
to u speel .1 Joint committed.
Are-solution wrs passed yesterday asking nil
ot the commercial organizations represented tu
send by cablo to ilia Marino Department of tbo
British Board of Trado their approval of the
protest by the Philadelphia organizations, nnd
to forward also arguments lu addition its thoy
might doom expedient. Tho resolution prov I c-d
also for a Joint lottor lo bu scut to nil ot the com
mercial and shipping associations of Great
Britain.
Another resolution was passed expressing tho
belief of those In attendance Hint tho railioads,
banking Institutions, and insurance compan vs
should aid by signing petitions for u change of

it those ports, declared their Intention of bottling

Ono of the causes for tho small figure Is tbe
