Tho Chinese play, "The First Born," was per
"1 formed nt theMnnlinttntiTlirntro last nlitht. So
much has been imhluhcil In This SUS about tho
nnturcof tlilsplne. In connection with the dls
' jmte ns to Its prlorlt), that no lone description
of Its iHcullnrltlcs need bo given now. Most
render know that It was written by Francis
Powers, tint It depicts a Teneoful mur
der by a Chinaman, that Its novelty lies
In Its trnclo exposition of life and death
anions Chinamen lit San Francisco, and
that It Ins been remarkably successful In that
city. The expectation of tho nudlonce
at tho Manhattan had been roused to
a hlxh pitch, and tho assemblage was
composed almost altogether of people fnrull
Inr with tho latest and stranscst that Is
IbeltiB iluno on tho since. Nevertheless, the
ploeodlSTppoIntod nobody If It did not please
ever body, mid a a rovelatlon of dramatlo art
In a new opect It was Intensuly Interesting.
Ilt Is rhsslblo as a melodrama, and Its
Incidents of ordinary theatrlcnl valuo aro
onlv two or three tho steallnif of a little
child from Its fathor by Its disgraced
mother, tho rocoery of tho doad body
of tin! child by tho father after It had
I been Killed In n strugglo for possession,
and tho ns'isslnntlon of the mother's paramour
by a single tdrokeof a halibut wleldod by the
father's hand. Thcso things were done In
tho II end manner of Ibsen and Maeter
linck, boldly and grimly. Without Ulustratlro
adjuncts, and tho creation of what Is commonly
called "atmosphere," tho play would mako no
deep Impression,
Hut "'lho KIrst Horn" Is given In no bald or
barren fashion. It was described by tho San
rnmclsco novvspapcrs as wondrously on
grossing there, but wo may well believe
that nnid Ilelnseo has not handled It for
this New York production without leaving the
marks of his dramatic genius upon It. Tho ex
hibition of crco day occupations in Chinatown,
tho glimpses of mnnuors and customs, the
naturalistic yet essentially dramatic manage
ment of tho three scenes mentioned, all
teem to bear tho Ilelnseo brand of keen
discernment and artful manipulation; nnd that
may bo said with no disparagement of Mr. Pow
ers for hit discovery that a Chlncso melodrama
w possible, and In writing it slnipl) nnd well.
The rvadv and unequivocal acceptance of this
PIh) ns a good artistic thing upon its Droadway
ndvent Has due In part to first putting the
nudienco into tlioright humor by means of blue
i llvhta in the theatre, tho burning of joss sticks
of perfume, and tho playing of Chlnco muslo
before the curtain was raised. William Furst
I hadmoilitled somo of the harsh Chinese airs,
I Mended tin in with melodies, and was himself In
I the conductor's chair to see that a cry largo
u , orchestra did justicu not only to the longover-
I tore, but also to a similarly ipproprlato cotupo
B ' sltlon bct eon the acts. Tho company was the
iuiiu that had been employed on tho Pacific
' oast, and un abler one might have
bcin organ! Id here, but it was familiar
sith the mU requirements, and answered to
thrni s itisfno Irlly. Tho performance lasted an
i hour ami a quarter. It held the assemblage
I spellbound, and was indeed a rare theatrical
enjoyment.
Half tho time at tho Manhattan last night
was occupied by something quite different
from tho Chinese pleco. "A Night Ses
sion," n farco taken from the French
of Adolf Fcydcau, was brought out in
English. It was one of those numerous pieces
of wicked nonsense, that are a plentiful output
at tho Paris theatres, and which sometimes
serve tho purpose of laughter In New York,
That was dona in this instance beyond a
doubt, and quite viciously, too, though
very neatly and with despatch. The
ploce was In a single act, which lasted less
than an hour. For the thousandth time
and upward tho basis of a French farce
was a husband's escapade with another
woman than his wife. Tho scene was a res
taurant, to which the lascivious man took a
supposed wanton from a masked ball, but upon
ber face beinir discovered It was seen to be old
and uglj. tome of the hilarity arose from that
and was hcigbtuned by May itobson's dexterity
in eccentricity, as well as K. M. Holland's
mingling of crlniincss und unction as the be
fooled fellow. Other complications of husbands,
wives, bachelors, nnd maids ensued, and con
cerned In tholr action were Hugo Toland, Paul
Arthur, Maud Huslam. Margarot Gordon,
Ysobcl llasklns, and It. F. Cotton. The
names are given to show that a char
acteristic Frobman cast for farcical work was
fhen to this ploce. That is to say, the light,
rlvial, and sometimes indecorous matter en
joyed such an assignment of capable Interpreters
as commanded artistic respect for It, while
at the same time bringing out Its points sharply
nnd Btrongly. These, actors mado of " A Night
Session" a diversion of a kind that New York
agrees with Paris in supporting, no matter
what staid condemnors of its really reprehen
sible character ma) say against it.
Fun Is the entertainment offered at the Grand
Opera House thlsvvoek in the form of "Eight
Hells," readjusted and freshened for the season's
J. tour. Do Wolf Hopper and bis comic opera
) company have gone to tho Harlem Opera House
with "Kl Capltan." Nanco O'Neill is playing
the hectic woman In "Camtlle"nt the Murray
Hill with much original forco and an abundance
t of vividness, but none of lho Parisian polish
I which it has bcon accustomed to. James J. Cor-
bett is a mimic tighter at tho Columbus in "The
, Naval Cadet." Tho Third Avenuo has "Tho
Electrician," and "The People's" has "The
Sidewalks of New York."
A removal to the Bijou by "What Happened
to Jones" has not affected tho performance, ex
cept favorably in tho advent of Mattle Ferguson
1 as the Swedish maidservant. " Half a King" Is
J provoking laughter at the Broadway as given
I by Francis Wilson and his company. "The
I Proper Cauor" Is tho new force at Hoyt's, and
older ones, wllli music and dance In them, are
"A Stranger In Now York" at tho Oarrlck, "In
Town" at the Knickerbocker. "TheCIrcus Girl"
at Mali's, "The Fair In Mldirettown" at the
Star, and "Thu French Maid" at tho Herald
Bqusre. "Nature" Is In Its final week at the
Academy of Music, with Its spectacular bright
ness iindlmniud, and that exceptionally Impres
alio Christian drama, "lho Sign of the Cross,"
Is In Its Inst save one at the Fourteenth Street,
where It Is drawing audiences of a quality much
abovo the average. "Die Goldne Eva" is the
German play at tho Irv Ing Plaro.
1 heatrlcals show n good Increase In the num
ber of seriously worthy plays In use, and In some
of them "stirs" are placed to excellent advan

A younsr Now Yorkor who I. to flguro in tho
approaching campaign might not havo been
ellglblo ns n candldnto If tho liiflucnco of a
young woman on his affairs had not proved
bonoflclal enough to sond him back to Now York
at a tlmo when his prcsonca hero was vitally
necessary to tho success of his ambition for
ptibllo Ufa. This )oung woman, who Is a
beauty nnd an heiress, (darted on a journey lo a
distant city, where she was to remain for bov
era! months. Sho lias many suitors, nnd al
ready her engagement to several men ha.
been announced, only to havo tho report provo
erroneous. Tho demands of society nnd tho
number ot her friends have mado It dlfllcult for
any one of her admlrors to find opportunities to
seo her frequently enough to got nny ndvnn
togo over his rivals. So there was dismay
whon tho plan of tho visit to a distant city was
first mado known. But ono ndmlror was not
dlscourogod by tho prospect. It suggested to
him tho possibility ot a brilliant stroko which
would put him far ahead of his other corapct
ltors. IIo has In other cases shown himself
to bo a man ot action ns well ns Ideas, nnd
when tho train which wns to enrry tho 5"unp
woman and her married sister to anoint which
It took nearly a week to reach sinrlod from
Jersey City, tho ndmlror was on board. Ho
was not In tho iiuib car, nnd It wns not. In
deed, until the train was somo dtstanrn on lta
way that ho made his opiHinranco. Then, to
tho astonishment ot his two women friends,
ho entered tho ear and expressed tho most de
lighted astonishment at tho lucky coincidence
which had compollod him to go West on busi
ness just at that particular time. He ex
plained that ns ho was forced t" V Islt exactly
lho satno town to which they worn travelling
he would bo with theui throughout tho entire
iourney. The ev enlng passed pleasantly, and so
lid the next morning. Tlicro had been no
apparent doubt of tho ) oung man's explanation.
Both his friends wero charming, and ho thought
with triumphant satisfaction ot thn group h.
hod loft behind In Now York. Hut tho circum
stances wero n llttlo bit less fnvornhlo than
they looked. Soveral hours beforo tho train
reached Chicago there was n xery serious con
versation ot several minutes' duration between
tlio joung man and tho married sister. The
other was not present. Hut alio cumo out to
smile a ver) nmlablo adieu to tho J oung man
when ho left tho train nt Chicago with tho ex
planation that ho found ho was really com
pelled to go back to Now York. She wusoven
kind enough to wave pood-by to him as ho
tood In tho station, looking qulto ns dlsronso
lato as tho other group which he had left in
Jersey City. But none ot thorn ev er heard nny
explanation of his absonce from Now York
during the tlmo that It took him to go to Chi
cago and then coma back by the next train.
The first night question has taken on a now
phase which is as discouraging to some ele
ments ot the audience as any of its others.
Persons who compose that vogue, mysterious
collection known as tho "first nlghtors" have
never been accused of any reluctance to make
their presence known to the rest of the nudi
enco. They have, indeed, been accused of a
desire to be seen, and sometimes they make so
much noise that unjust crittcismslaro Likoly to
escape Impatient persons in Uie Irritation of
the moment. There Is no better nay of being
noticeable than to enter the theatre after most
of the audience is seated and walk down tho
aisle in tho familiar first night manner, which,
depending on the years'of experience, varies in
different cases from the eager lope of a kan
garoo to the dignified progress of a horseless
carriage. This entry is really the best chance
of display that the evening affords, bo the
"first nlghtera" cherish it. With all of them
waiting to get insldo after tho others are Bcatcd
none of them arrives until tho piny has begun.
Then with all of them waiting the clatter of
late arrivals continues exasperatingly.
"It Is no longer worth tho while, raid a
manager the other day, "for anybody to oco a
curtain rise on a first night with any Idea of
being ablo to follow the first part of the Jilay.
Tho noise outs that out of tho question. Every
Sear the fuss seems to continue longer, and
lat happens In spite of the fact that tho hour
has gradually been made later. It might lie
set at 10 o'olock and tho same trouble would
continue. Ono advantage of the practice for
the arrivals is that the) are distinctly seen by
the hard-working subordinate who, with the
assistance of anybody that happens to bo
standing near him. Is laboriously engaged in
tho task of making up a list of 'distinguished
peoDlo' to distribute for publication. For a
man who knows 'distinguished people" when he
sees them to pick them out in a crowd that
probably docsn t contain any is a pretty dlfll
cult business. The hard-working subordinate
is the only man, possibly, who doesn't object to
tho lato arrivals. Hut everybody else might as
well stay at home for all they are able to hoar
for the first thrcu-quarters ot an hour."
Mrs. Langtry is now within five years of the
half century mark, but she remains really as
conspicuous a figure to day as she was twenty
years ago. With the final abandonment of
her stage career, herircoortcd marriage, tho
sale of her yacht and the later Insanity of her
husband, she keeps In the public cyo with as
much persistency as though she emplojod an
indefatigable press agent. One local reminder
of her New York career came to light tho other
day when it was announced that the house sho
occupied for Bevcral years In West Twenty
third street was to let again, tho lcaso which
was originally taken for her having only just
expired. The house, which is ono of a kind
rare now In New ork, has been unoccupied
for many years. The sign hangs on tho high
fonco which Mrs. Langtry, fur reasons of ber
own, had built about too house at an expense
considerably greater than she expected. In
tho struggle which she had with the city au
thorities to establish her right to keep tho
fence whero It was built, ber lawyers are said to
havo received U,000 for their Bcrvices. fche
paid the money cheerfully and her expendi
tures wero never stintod. At one time sho
mado a great deal of money from her appear
ances as an actress, and even on her hint visit
hero, to everybody's astonishment, tho was
nearly as successful ns sho had ever been.
Although she spent money freely sho was a
good businesswoman, und that was shown by
a remark she mado once when the question of
engaging an actor came up. Ho asked more
for bis services than her manager thought he
was worth.
"Oh, pay him what ho askB," Mrs. Langtry
said indifferently. "He's a nlco fellow and ho
plays piquet so badly that I'm certain to got
most of it back."

One ana It Majr ttralli no Ilullt.
A Pittsburg millionaire with an ambition to
be Included In tho great Syndicato ot Now York
Theatre Builders Is said to bo speodlng now
toward New Yorit with enough of his money to
put up a real theatre which will bo considerably
more substantial than any of thoso that have
gone up lately. This is It. M. Bennett, n wealthy
real estate owner who has been associated very
successfully with sovorul cheap theatres Indif
ferent cities of tho country. He is tbo President
of the Pittsburg Gas Company and owns a stock
farm. He Is a member of the firm of It, M.
Gullck Si Co., in the control of tho HI Jon Theatre
in Pittsburg, the Academy and Alhatnbra In
Chicago, tho Columbia in Boston, tho National
In Philadelphia, the Holllilay Street In Balti
more, and too Giantl In Washington, as well as
other cheap-Drlced tboatres In other titles.
He is said to have been successful enough In
these ventures to have decided to build In Now
York a theatre In the central part of the c Ity,
which will have 3,000 seats, to be sold at cheap
prices. The location selected Is on Thirty-fourth
street, near Broadway.
Mr. Bennett did not arrive In New York yes
terday, but he is expected hero to day, His
representative said that he wns coming hero to
make tho final arrangements for tho thcitre,
which will be only a small part nt n fourteen
story building that Is to contain bachelor apart
ments. The plans have already been drawn by
a firm of local architects. It Is believed that
this time tho now theatre will be built, although
not until Mr, Bennett reaches New York to-day
will tho plan be settled.

Bar Without Ills Ilrlnc Able to Touch Them.
Tho latest development ot tho slot machine
is an invention designed to mako ovary person
his own roglstcrod-lottcr clerk nnd to facilitate
tho forwarding of registered mail. Throo ot the
machtnos wero placed In position yesterday, one
In tho registry division of tho General Post Of
fice, ono in an alcovo ot tho lobby ot the Kqut
tnblo.buildlng, and ono In tho branch Post Oftlcs
at Forty-second Btrcot and Park avenue. Tho ubo
of theso thrco machines hns been sanctioned by
tho PostmaBtcr-Uoncral, and under his orders
thoy nro to havo a six-weeks' trial. What may
hnpiicn after that Is conjecture merely, but the
assumption ot tho inventor ot Uio machine is
that if its work is satisfactory. It will be adopt
ed as a regular adjunct to tho Post OUlco sys
tem. HOW TIIE BLOT MACIIlMr LOOKS.
Whilo the machines nre being put to their
official test an agent of tho Post Office is to be
in constant attendance at each. He will ex
plain the working of the machine to tho publio
and seo that no ono tampers with tho mall.
The charge for registering a letter Is 8 cents
In addition to tbo regular letter postage. The
machine makes tho same charge, assuming
that a slnglo 2 cent stamp Is suftlclent for the
regular pontage Under tlio law a letter pre
paid by ono i! cent stamp must bo forwarded
and any extra postugo collected at tho other
end.
To work the machine, you drop a silver United
Btates dime into a spout nt tbo upper right
hand side. A square iron cover tiles up auto
matically and reveals a roll of white paper.
Opposlto certain lines you write the name and
address of the person to whom your letter Is to
be sent and your own name and address. At
the right hand upticr end of tho machine Is a
small lever. You pres this back nnd tho letter
slot in front opens nnd Into this you drop your
letter. Then you Bcluo tho bandlo of a big
crank at tho right nnd force It back until a bell
rings. As j ou do this tho iron cov er closes and
locks over tho writing tablet. Now you draw
forward tho big lever until a btll rings. As
jou do this a duplicate of your writing, on a
separate slip of papir, is slipped out of tho
machluo at tho left hand side and upon this
paper Is Imprinted also tlio Post Office date
marks, tho serial number ot thn letter nnd tho
signature of tlio Postmaster. This Is jour re
ceipt. Your original writing remains In tho
box until tho letters nro removed, and thon It
goes with them At tho same tlmo that your
receipt is printed tho letter is dated.
Tho next thing is to get tho letter to the Post
Office without giving the letter carrier n chance
to tamper with either the letters or tho originals
of tho receipts. Tho box has a hopper bottom
so constructed that It can bo opened only vvhen
tho mall bag is uttndiod to it. Tho mall bag
can't bo opened, either, except In conjunction
with tho hopper or nt tho Post Otlicc. Tho
strip on which aro written tho names and ud
dresses drops into tho b ig with the letters.
Tho dimes fnll Into a bra-s cylinder In tho
onler in which they aro dropped Into tho ma
chine, nnd the postman. If ho finds a bad one,
can tell nt onio, by running them over In order,
which letter It 'belongs to buch a letter will
bo held and Its sender not Hied to pay the post
age In good coin nnd get his bad coin bck.
Aside from this, tho machine is constructed
to throw out bad coins If they aro under weight.
Whon the coin first drops into tho slot It goes
Into a dellcnto balance, whero It is weighed.
If It is too much worn to bo current thn fculo re
jec's it, and Instead of passing Into tho machlnn
nnd starting the posting operations, tho coin
drops out of n hole In tho front of tho machine
and falls on the floor.

by tho Homo, Watcrtovvn nnd Ogdcnsbunr Hall
road over tho Now York Contrnl, Eight special
trains wero put on to bring the visitor, down.
Four arrlvod laBt cvonlng. The othor four aro
due this morning, From tho weli-ntlcd condition
ot tho trains that arrlvod last night tho pros
pects are that tho present excursion will bo a
record breaker in tho matter of numbers.
Every year for twolvo years tho Home, Wntcr
town and Ogdensburar rotd has brought on ex
cursion from the northern part ot tho Stato.
This year tho round trip from nnywhero on
the line Is $7, and tho tlckot. are good for
ton days. The good times among tho farm
ers have brought many ot thorn down to
spend tholr spare cash in seeing tho tights,
and most of them have brought their
wives and a child or two along with them. Hut
it must not bo supposed that tho excursion Is
mado up wholly of farmers. Every town and
city along tho lino has tent its quota, and thero
will bo more vlllngo and county politics talked
in tho hotel lobbies hero for tho noxtfowdajs
than this city has heard for a long tlmo. The
up tho Stators aro clannish, and all those of one
town will put up at a certain hotol, whilo tho
visitors from tho noxt village will chooso an
other hostelry, and each will boast, when thoy
meet on the return trip, ot tho superior ad
vantages they got for their money.
Ot course thoy will want to see everything
thcrols to bo soon, and tholr women folk will
fill the shops nnd confide to each other that
" Snlffcm k Cutts down on Main street want 10
cents a yard for that very saino goods, and here
It Is for only 7." Thoso of them who belong to
tbo less strait sects will help to till the thcatro. If
tho scandal of having to pay ('J a scat does not
drlvo them horror-stricken from tho box office.
Those who do pay that will have something to
boast of through tho winter. That the visitors
do not intend lu let anything pass them by la
indicated by this sample of conversation over
heard nt tho station. Just after tho arrival of tbo
first train yesterday evening, between a pros
porous looking middle-.ROd oxcurslonlst In light
bluo trousers and his wife, who woro a topax
brooch as big as a tomato can:
"Now. Amanda," sulci he, "wo may', woll
start right In. You just tell what you want to
do and we'll dolt."
" It'll bo terrihlo expensive, Ira," said tho
thrifty wlfo apprehensively.
" Never s ou mind that," he replied, feeling in
his pocket. "I've got a hundred dollars to
spend "
"Irat" she gasped, "yon ain't going to apend
all that down here I
"That's what 1 bo (firmly), nnd only ten days
to spend It In. These aro good times and we can
afford to have a good time ourselves. So don't
be senred to BPeak out. Amanda."
"Well," said hit wife after n moment's re
flection, "1 want to tee the Statue ot Liberty,
and Mayor Strong, and Central Park, and
Coney Island, nnd 1 d like to go to a theatre,
anil to eat oneo lo tho Waldorf House oven It
t'was only a sandwich, and to rldu In one ot
them auto-blcyclo carriages without a horse,
only I'd bo scared, and rldo across Brooklvn

don't cost too much, some Sunday night when
the hussies with short dresses ain't there, nnd
they havo a Bat red concert with hymns nnd a
collection. I pirsume, and to see all the big
shops and walk on Fifth avenue, and I'm all
out of breath now, but I'll think of sumo more
in a minute."
"Write 'em down. Amanda," said tho good

because with money and brains for M

Small wonder, then, that we re- H

Now to explain the qualities ot H
the "Cornell" Shoe: Its materials H
are the best that expert buyers can , -,H
secure, and of every variety that t'll
good taste approves. It surpasses H
the average made-to-order shoe, for V H
it Is made to fit and that by H
specialists. It competes with tho

price Is It way below those com- H
pared with it. H
