In the week s vaudeville Kate Claxton is new
at Proctor s. w here she Is enacting the heroine
la a brief but seriously dramatic sketch en
titled "The Fate of Half-Past Four." An Eng
lish woman of tw o centuries ago has two lovers,
both soldiers, one ln the army of King Charles
sad the other of Cromwell. The man she
favors Is In peril of capture br the enemy, and
the hides him in a clock, which is thereby
stopped at half-past 4. Tho opposing wooer
enters In quest of the concealed man. A scene
of dlssernblln? ensues. It Is in spirit and man
ner much like tho familiar episode ln "A Sheen
fa W olf s I loihine." At the climax, when the
cajoled visitor discovers what is the matter
with the clock, the woman a.nis a pistol at her
own heart, and vows she will ore If he hinders
the e-cape of her hidden lover. The bit of a
tlay Is an excerpt from (rood old melodrama.

The Ice Palace, at 107th street and Lexing

pices o! admission. A troupe of variety folk
and burlesquers holds Its stage this week.
Weber & Flelds's has started bloomingly with
Tie Glad Hand" for Its burlesque, and with
Mane Loftus as Its chief specialist. The re

half dozen able fun makers. Two music nails

The title "Klondyke" has been filed for copy
right with tho Librarian of Congress fourteen
tiles, and as many more with words added.
In tome Instances a complete play has been
seat on. In compliance with the requirements,
la: most of the authors seem to think that a
same may be separately copyrighted. The fact
is that ever so many pieces bearing the title
"Klondyke" might be used without letral re
straint, provided that none of them was itolen
from another, or was calculated to make capital
out of a prior play's reputation.

ZirjS TOPICS ABOUT TOWJT.
Tho presenoe ln New York of one of the large
burlesque companies Is likely to have an effect
on upper Brondwav, whero theso Importations
lend a novel aspect to the street. For several
days past tho neighborhood of the Knicker
bocker Theatre has been brilliant with white
duck and dark blue cloth. Many of the wo
men, however, are extremely quiet ln appear
ance, and off the stage seem wholly different
from the Gaiety girl as their performances
p.ilnt that alluring personage. One of these
women sat In the dining room ot an uptown
hotel tho other evening, Bho was slim and
blond, and her nalr was brushed back soverely
from her forehead. On her nose was a pair of
glasses with tortolseshell rims, and she might
have been an English school teacher or univer
sity graduate. With her at dinner was her
husband, who wa a mild-mannered man with a
brown mustache, who looked as Utile as though
he belonged to one of the Oatety companies as
his wife did. But they were both members of
the organization, betcral of tho girls are quar
tered ln a hotel on Fourth avenue, and It was
there that they stopped on their Hrst visit sev
eral years ago.
One of tho women who Is now hero came to the
United States first several years ago accompa
nied by her husband, a atolld-looling English
man who sang In the chorus. ho grew very
popular, but when It camo to supping or dining
at the hotels It was found that the husband's
Sresenco detracted from the spectacular effect of
10 scene. So ho was left behind when his nife
came over this Toar. Another young man who
hovered about tho original company nben it
came here to act three years ago Is uilstng
now. Ha was a member of a well-known Eng
lish family and attended the performances with
almost as much regularity as the persons en
gaged In It. His failure to return wltli the
troupe this year Is said to be due to tho fact that
he Is locked up in an Iiimiiio asylum. Even a
more picturesque adjunct to the oltl company
Is lacking this season. He was a Turk, and the
young lady whose noting had attracted his fa
vorable attention so strongly Is not now In this
country. After tho performance on Monday
night one of the beat known beauties In this
company entered an all night restaurant up
town which is not esueclally exclusbe. It was
more her toilet than her beauty that aston
ished the diminished crowd lott there at 2
o'clock. Tho woman was drescd In a light
colored silk gown, cut very low in tho neck, and
with It she wore an enormous black hat cov
eted with plumes. Tho Jewels she wore wero
so many that sho flashed like tho cut glass coun
ters ln a department store. Not all of the young
women ln this company. It will bo seen, wear
rlasscs and look like Ulrton graduates, but there
ore some that do.
One of the French newspapers recently print
ed a paragraph that will prove rather astonish
ing news to the American friends of Mrs. Bradley-Martin.
In a description of the opera ln
London the article said that black tics were for
bidden by the management, and that In order
to moke the prohibition less ot a hardship,
white lawn ties were sold in tho lobby ot tho
theatre. Over this booth Mrs. Bradley-Martin
and Lady de Grey were said to preside on alter
nate evenings. This privilege, tho account
sold, was allowed only to women ot very ex
alted social position. There Is, of course, no
truth ln any phase ot the story, excepting, per
haps, that black neckties arc not mucn woru at
the opera in London or anywhere else. A black
tie witb full dress ln England Is very rarely
teen, and means usually that the wearer Is lu
mourning. With, a dinner coat they are nec
essary in this country, which Is the only one
that ever raised the dinner coat to the dignity
of a dress garment- In England It Is but sel
dom seen in public, and the men who wear It
tnere are either very young or rather careless
ln matters of dress 'luo men In Germany who
made their dressing a matter of thought solxed
upon the dinner coat as a dress garment that
was appropriate for any hour oi tne day or
night, and iho result was that the most popular
article of men s dress ln Germany seeral years
ago was a dinner cout worn with a low waist
coat and a co. oral fuur-in-hand necktie. That
combination has never lost Its popularity ln
Germany where the dinner coat is more highly
valued than ln any other country excei'Ung
our own. Tho rrcuch have always Used It in
much the sanio way the English do. But they
ore not given to national vagaries in the mat
ter of neckties, and it would seem no more sur
prising to them that a mai should be com
pelled to wear a wnite one than that Mrs.
Brodlex-Mortin or Lady de Grey should consent
to sell It.
There Is already a distrust among wheelmen
of the road houses which have repair shops run
ning In connection with their bicycle racks,
and there Is one place ln particular which has
come to be regarded with suspicion by persons
who have had their wheels suddenly tall vic
tims to incapacity when least expected. One
philanthropist who was anxious to ascertain if
the grounds tor his distrust were good, several
times submitted bis wheel when It was in per
fect condition to the care of the boys ln charge
of the racks. Every time It was injured. On
bunday one man found a cut plainly mode by a
sudden slash with a knife in a tiro ut this same
place, and tnere were, within the experience of
a very small circle of perron, several acci
dents ot the same character. The result was
that the man ln charge of the repair shop was
busy oil day. and there was not a bicycle under
his care that hod not been banded oer to the
charge of the boys who watch the wheels left
there by the guests. There are already a num
ber of patrons of the place who are con inccd
that the boys In charge of the racks have some
Interest in seeing the repair shop prosper. This
Is conducted by a youn man who runs it en
tirely on his own responsibility With the tack
fiends supposed to be at work on the approaches
to the cycle path and the other parts of the
suburbs, beset with little danger to wheels, bi
cycling Is taking on new terrors. But there Is
none ot them more dmicult to avoid than thco
accidents that are so closely connected with
the attentions ot the rock boys at the suburban
road house.
One of the diversions of a New York million
aire Is a variety show or a vaudeville per
formance, as the advertising agents love to
hear It called, that Is given every Sunday night
ln the parlors ot his own house. Certain physi
cal reasons prevent him from going to tho
theatre, and It Is Indeed a question If be Is able
to see any part of the private show that Is
held for his benefit. But be can hear It all, and
that la evidently enjoyment enougli, for the
actors and singers congrcgato ln his drawing
room with tho same regularity every bunday.
A certain agent has charge of the arrange
ment of th programmes, and he employs the
actors to be engaged In lbes performances with
as much care as though they were to be on view
for the benefit of hundreds of people. But only
the millionaire and a few of his friends ever
see or hear the performance.
The old Marshall 0. Hoberts residence, at the
southeast comer of Eighteenth street and Fifth
avenue, has grown more desolate looking with
in recent months than it had ever been before
during Its long period of vacancy. Until the
pictures and furniture were sold the blinds ot
the house were kept closed, and It looked as
though there might be some Intention to occupy
the building again at a future date. But now
that the house has been emptied of Its con
tents, care is no longer taken to make It look
habitable, and the faded white blinds hang In
the dusty Indows, drawn down at Irregular
Intervals. The only person about the bouso is
a venerable butler, who sits at his ease at the
side door ln tho afternoons and seems little
more active than the rest of the quiet house
hold. It Is said that the house cannot be Kild
by the Marshall O. Hoberts estate until one of
the heirs come of age. Hlnre it was occupied
by Cornelius Vanderollt's family, several years
ago, the building has not been tenanted, nnd
as there Is little demand for so expensive a resi
dence ln that part of the city, it Is said that the
building will be sold as soon as the provisions
of the will have bem complied with and tliu bclr
ln question he Is a son of tho late Mr, Roberts
has come of age.
There bos recently been a change In tho colors
ot a country club on Ht.itcn Island, and the
member will not be ahlo to wear their hat
bands again next summer. The cause ot this
alteration Is said to be the determined attitude
of a young woman who was acting in one of the
variety shows on the Island. Sho got hold of one
of the hatbands in a way that bus never been
satisfactorily explained to tho Board of Gover
nors of the club, and she continues to wear It In
the face of threats and entreaties. When sho np
Iieared first with the hatband on the boardwalk ot
one of the new summer resort, it was hello oil
that a pulitu request would bo suttlrlcnt lo re
move It. But that method fitihd utterly. There
was a co3iuilttee sent to negotiate with tier, unci
It let I red in defeat, after bavin' tried :o cntlco
tho ribbon from her. then buy it, nnd tltinlly
steal it. The young noumn nnnouueed that Iho
ribbon had been given to ner and that the ex
pocted to wear It as long as she staled on tho
Island. So the hatband burbt over n muss of
peroxide hair upon the v Islon of tho club mem
bers on all parts of the Island. After a vthllu
It hecume evident thai out) one method could
ever circumvent tho young woman, and that

Thick Plant Rarely Illootns Outdoors Here.
Brooklyn has a novel oxhlblt ln ono of the
three city ponds In I'rosoect Park. It Is a Vic
toria Heglaor Iloyal Water Lily In bloom in the
open air. The plant frequently blooms In hot-
l house In this climate, but very seldom in tho
opon air. This ono that has put Itself on show ln
1 Prospect I'ark Is a beautiful specimen of the
plant, Tho horticulturist over In tho park has
been experimenting with tho Illy for sev
eral years. Ho baa succeeded only In rais
ing leaves, and not vory good leaves,
either, until this year. A couple of days
ago ho noticed a little, bulb peeping out of
tho water. Immediately over tho thick root
stalk. Tho Illy was about to bloom. It grew
several Inches out of tho water on Monday, nnd
Monday night nt dusk tho flower began to open.
As tho evening woro on It opened wider nnd
wider. It was puro white, fully a foot ln diam
eter, nnd beautiful lu tbe extreme. It stayed
I open until tne sun began rising yesterday morn-
! Ing; then It closed, to open again In the evening,
Its color changing from while to a delicate shade
of pink.
It didn't get around last night that the Illy
was blooming, hence tho spectators of tho show
were f.-w nnd most of them were park nfllclals.
A SUN reporter was an Invited guost. The Illy
ponds are In the rose garden, which Is a Qve
mlnute walk from the entrant o ot tho pirk at
the Plnxo. The Victoria ltegia Is In tbe middlo
pond of tho three, and It Is crowding everything
else in the pond except the bullfrnrs. The
plant Itself Is a prodigious one. The root
stalk Is In tho ceutre of tho pond and is
more than a foot thick. Out from this
shoot stems ten or twelve feet long and
an Inch thick nnd on tho end of each stem Is a
leaf. In the water the stems look llko tuanlla
rope used to anchor the high leaves to the root
stalk. There wero cloven leaves on the plant
last night, eight of them belug between live and
six feet across. One leaf had been taken oiT
during the day because It hid begun to wither,
and there wns one Just out of wntor scarcely
I bigger than the Mower. The eight biggest
leaves, Mr. Thompson, whoto special pet the
Illy Is, said were more than a week old. They
were circular and turned up on the edge all tho
way around about three Inches, so that Ihey
looked like Boating trays. The upper side
was green and showed a network of depres ed
veins between which the surface wore swollen,
giving the appearance of nlligntor skin. Tho
outside of the rim and the underside of tho lo f
were rose color. This sldo was full of still little
thorns, tierce looking enough to warn persons
nut to touch the leaf. Each leaf had a surface
of about twenty-eight square feet, and was
capable of holding up more than sixty pounds
dead weight. Perhaps some of them would hold
twice that weight. Jlr. Thompson pointed out
the smallest of tbe leaves that had developed.
It was about four feet acrois.
"That grew In two days," he said. "It was
no bigger than my fist two days ago, when I
first siw It."
Altogether these bis leaves occupied nearly
four hundred square feet of the surface of the
pond, and In the centre of tho lot, surrounded
by ooen water, was the pink doner. Though
It wns a foot in diameter. It looked mighty
small ln the field of fioitlng trays. It was fully
open at a little after 7 o'clock. Haifa i oxen oil
I lamps, fitted with reflectors, showed It off to
advantage, and tbe lovers of rloners In the
1 pirty wont Into ecstasies over Its beauties. In
shape It was much like the other lilies in the
pond, but it was bigger, and the color and the
shading the leaves showed made It much more
beautiful than any of them.
"It will close up again at sunrise," Mr.
Thompson said, "and to-morrow night it wili
mnko its lt appearance. The color will cbinge
Vsatn, and It will ve deeper red. At sunrise
Thursday It will clo-e for the last time. The
stem will bend, and the flower will din into the
water, where it will stay until the seed It con
tains matures. '
Beside this flower last night there wa a little
I bud. Mr. Thompson said that that would prob-
ably develop to-day so that It would be re idv to
open to-night. The leaf to that which w is just
I above water and looked like a bunch of green
I furx. would develop so that lo-nlght It may bo
two feet across. Mr. Thompson said that the
lily would probabl) continue to bloom for a
iso.V.h. Ho will .ut tho Park CommUsionura tc
have the pond lighted by electric lights, so that
everybody can see the flower to advantage.
The Victoria Kegia come from the region of
the Amazon lliver. In this country It is an an
nual plant: that is. it dies when the cold weather
comes, and must be repHnted the next veir.
It was discovered by nn Englishman, and the
first flower that blossomed In cultivation was
presented to Queen Victoria. The plant was
named after her. As the seeds ln the dead
flower of the Dlant in the park mature they
will be taken and packed away In mud so that
ther may be kepi moist and ready for planting
nextjear. The plant requires warm water to
grow in. The water In tho Illy pond where this
one Is growing is heated by steam.

day with Haymaker.
Yesterday was the annual Hay Day on the
Hempstead salt meadows, when the town of
Hempstead allows Its citizens to attark the
, broad acres of marsh gras with the scythe and
J turn It Into hay for their own act-ount. On that
day lots of able-bodied men in tho wide-spreading
town drop their usual work and turn farmers,
and the meadows resound from early morning
until dusk with the wih of tho cutting
, scythe and the whlng of the sharpening whet
stones. In the early morning of each bay day there Is a
rush for places that might remind one of 'he
opening to settlement of an Indian reserva
tion. It is an unwritten law among the baymen
that a man Is permitted to hive nil the grass
around which he cun cut without Invading tbe
lines already mown by others.
Tho baymen worked hard ln the early morn
ing yesterday In thus marking out their claims,
and then took their time ln mowing the Inclosed
gr iss.
The tall meadow grnrs Is tough and hard to
cut. The bla:k grass It considered very valu
able for foddei mixed with English hay, and the
shorter grass Is used for packing nnd for stable
balding. The gras this year I very plentiful,
and Is of better quality than It has been for
some yevrs post. The baymen expect to realize
fruin $5 to 8 10 a ton for It.
JUST ESCAPED A FIRE ESOISE.
Mrs. Koch's Kicltlnc Adventure with n Itans,.
way Horse In scnark.
Mrs. Henry Koch of 48 Nelson street, Newark,
was out riding with her husband on Monday
night, and as they were passing 0 engine house
In Springfield avenue they beard the gong ring
ing an alarm of fire, and Mr. Koch tossed the
reins to his wife, sprang out of tho buggy and
took tbe horse by the bead, patting Its neck and
trying to sooth It as the clamor Increased.
At tbe fire horses sprang from tbe open door
Mr, Koch's horse reared and plunged over him,
throwing him to the street. He rolled Into the
gutter with a bad scalp wound and narrowly
escaped the wheels of the engine as It came out.
His own horse had gone on down the avenue
with Mrs. Koch tugging at tho reins. Theso
were crossed In her hands. Persons on tho sldo

ALKALI IKE WEDS 1.EAPISQ FAWM.
Tho Marriage Tame tr hrnd or the Preofl
Avenfstenrdnlr. but That Wasn't His Fault.
Hero's another good press agent schema gono
sadly wrong. According to advertisements
widely distributed, there w as to bo a special fea
ture last night at tho Ilunnitig Kit Wild West
Show, on Jersey City Heights, ln the shape of a
real marriage. Tho contracting parties were to
be Alkali Ike. the cowbuv.and Leaping Fawn,
tho gazelle-eyed Indian princess. For soino
weeks they have been doing a turn, ln which
Ike abducts the Fawn from the wigwam of her
father and, after killing a large and agile batch
of pursuers, brings her safely to the cowboy
ramp, where they aro duly married. Hitherto a
mock marriage has been good enough, but last
night It was to be the real thing.
As a matter of fact, Ike and hit Fawn are
elopers In real life. Her stepfather's w Igwam Is
ln Newark at 135 Commerce street, nnd beforo
ebebccameagazella-oyed Indian beauty the was
known as Eva Brown. His other name is Sam
uel Stickler, and tho nearest he ever came to
leading tho wild life of tbo untrammelled prairies
was when ho used to drive an lee wagon In
West Huooken and revi dlmo novels on the
seat. Thc-y met a year ago at the Wnverly Fair.
At firs; sight ther love-d niailly. piisionitely
Ithi part Is from the press agent!, nnd rroned
that in spite of all obstacles the) would some
dvy wed. The chiefotistai lewas Leaping Fawn s
obdurate mother. Mrs Hcrm-in. Oivuu' to this
Levplng Fawn left one n.ght about a month ago
and joined her Alkali Ike anil the show.
But tbo pvlefacewss on her trail, .he wns
traced to Jersey ( Ity and the police wore called
upon bv the mother to nrrest Stickler for abduc
tion. vV hen they vlmted the show the Fawn
had taken to the woods. On SNtturdii) night
Mrs. Herman nnd her -on went ti tho show and
occupied front seat, where the were soon per
ceived by the Indian prinerss. who isn't fiir
nithrd by the play bills) with gazelle ejes for
nothing, -he nearly spoiled thu elopement by
fulling off her horse, ml at the conclusion of
the act hennd her cow toy moiinteil u wilil and
untamed trolley car, und with their hairstreiim
ing out he-hiud urged it upon its course until
it pulled up panting at the ofllea of '
Justiie of tho Pcsce Beck. He married them
hurriedly and completely, nnd when they re
turned and asked the prua agent for his bless
ing they cot tho other thing. After he had
sworn himself blae k In the face h sworn the in
tosecrec Then he went to see Justiie He. k.
But too story got out, and everyLoJy at tho
show lait night knew that it wa onlv a second
hand nmniHge, with all the bliKiin off.
As for the obdurate mother, she went back to
tho wigwam ln Newark und strung beads.

QCEE.V8, L. I Sept. 7. Not until tho arrival
of tho newspaper train this morning did tho res
idents of this peaceful village Icnrn that shortly
beforo dusk lust evening tho placo had been
taken possession of by a regiment of drunken
National Guardsmen returning from Creed
moor. It mado the hair of tho until os stand on
end to read how- tho drunken mob, armed to tho
tooth, went rioting through tho streets, prod
ding peaceful natlvos with their bayonets und
clubbing them with the butts of their muskets.
Thoy never realized that thcro wa an Amazon
ln tho placo until they read how Miss Atmlo
Cootuos forced an entrance to tbo Dutch Ho
formod Church, nnd forming a barricade at
ono of the windows, blazed away at tho marau
ders outside. Hut when they read how tho
druukcu, reeling mob, who could scarcely keep
their feet, with raro skill had picked oil tho
gold ball on tho weather vano that surmounts
tho steeplo of tho Dutch Church, had tired In
through thu windows, and othcrwlsu damaged
tho property, tho natives with ono accord niudo
for the si ono of last evening's hostilities Thcro
was a cow peacefully chewing Its cud on the
lawn near tho church when tho villagers ap
proached. Tho mosqultoo buzzed and bit ns
usual, and a halo of pouco hung over tho placo.
Ever) thing was as scruno and undisturbed as
It was last night when tho belated Bhopkeeper
put out his lamp and went to bed. Thcro woro
no bullet holos ln tho church building, tho gold
bull on the tall splro was still Intact, thero wero
no demollhed fences or devastated fields.
"Well, I'll Do durnod," said tho villagers, and
they went back to the gro.-ery store und con
cluded that somebody lmd told them a gold
brick.
Briefly summed up, the casualties of last
night s alleged riot wero two bloody noses and
an unhinged gule.
It was late yestorday afternoon when Oliver
Coomes, who was on tbo lookout for guardsmen
returning from the Stato range ut Ireeduioor,
says ho saw throe men ln uniform slop near his
place. Ho aids his brother and father in run
ning a nurcry. Tho gruunds ubout 'he placo
are filled with varieties of blooming plants,
and from what tho Coouices say, sundry guards
men have been in tho hab.t of ho plug thum
selves surreptillouil) to the flowers. So when
tho three men halted near the plneo Coonies
surmised wbut the) wero after. He says ho
saw onii of tho men enter the yard und make,
toward tho Honer beds. Ho started for the In
truder, but tho soldier saw him coming and put
out of tho )ard. Coomes su)s hu overtook tho
1 fallow Just ns ho reached the outside of the gate,
und, catching him by the back of the coal col
i lor, throw him down nnd drugged him liisldo
tho yard and closed the gate. It wus his in
I tentlon to havo tbo oldler placed under arret,
1 but tho captured man's two comrades ran to his
rescue. In tho scuttle Coomes was luinged ln
the noe, the goto was unhinged, two pickets
w.ro torn off, und tho captive wus carried oft
ln triumph.
Just at this Juncture James Coome. another
member of the family, put in an appearance.
He promptlv sallied out with the intention of
arresting tho intruder who had ejeuped from his
brother. Hut the little squint of soldiers thought
otherwise, and when ho sought tn .npturo ono
of the men ho was ln turn promptlv knocked
down. In tho meantime, Oliver Conines sues,
ho armed himself with revolver and a club
and started down tho strew to tliu nvi stance ot
his brother. Ho su)s he stood off tho entire
crowd of soldiers with his wcnpoii Uno nf tho
soldiers, ho aserts, put a ball cartridge In his
ritlo una was going to shoot him. Ju-t ns thu
man wat about to raise- tho rifle. Oliver su) s, he
drew a bead nn the soldier with hi-, revolver,
und ths follow dropped the wcipou James tells
tho same sUry wi.h a luilu variation, llesnjs
tho -oldlcr wus going to hoot him when ono
of bis comrades took the c-tin nwuj from him.
After this i-ocond meleo the CiMimees retired
to their home, und tho soldiers left the pluce-.
No one- could bo found In this vlllugo who uw
or beam a shot flrcd je-terdaj. About two
weeks ago, the Coomc-cs s.i), they saw two men
