Wi ' though by the act ho dishonored his wife and
T; eon. His course left them under social taboo,

If f the play related to their friends' efforts to

Wr'. published as a novel, would havo needed yellow
Hk ; coyer and a cheap price, but might havo bod an
HR itenelvo salo under thoso favorable con-
ffii'V anions, becauso it would have appealod
& Wrongly to readers of books that cor-
V'M" feapond to sensational melodramas. The char-
li Jy acters were clear types, but familiar, and their
'''in traits and motives presented no novel study of
f'l II human nature. Some of the thing they did,
twwever, were new and itrange, and upon that
, A tnaterlal the London success had been built up.
i Vhat the drama, or exhibition, will bo a popular
R 'if triumph at the Academy is indisputable. It
K will be what may be termed a howling success.
' I Moreover, there was nothing in the triumph
V U of "The White Heather" to be ashamed of,
- II area U it was neither delicate art nor subtle lit
' erature. It contained none of the nastiness of
( I The Sporting Duchess," and was quite as ex-
.tl oltingly sightly. There were notably realletlo
JJ nd fully-peopled scenes. Tho first of these was
jj, J e London Stock Exchange, with its member
i& IB the turbulence of a financial panic. Views of
If moving bout in the Thames lock, of bicyclist
V j In Battersea Park, and of shepherds and
'- ii snoop on v misty Scotch mountain were
li?. "'" for applause. Hut tho greater achieve-
jSy ments were an Imitation of the Duchess of
' i Devonshire's memorable ball in tho time of
l Queen Victoria's jubilee, and a representation
I- of a wrecked yacht at the bottom of the sea,
'.. The ball was an affair of historlo and fictional
Uvf costumes and the drosses wore extremely showy.
ij t The submarine episode was peculiar. The
' seekers of the missing marriage certificate bad
n learned that it was In the log book of the
R white Heather, a yacht that lay under water
I - I oft the coast of Scotland. The villain and
one of the heroes determined to recover It.
1' They make their efforts simultaneously, each in
, , diving suit, and when they meet down there
i , in the water they flgbt with knives for posses
.. eion of the prlro. The illusion of the descents
from a floating boat through the water to tbo
' sunken craft was first rate. The use or cleverly
,, , Painted gauxe. and of the shadows of swimming
tV; ? fish projected by means of a lens, gave a sem
F""i j K. bianco of reality, Tbo encounter of the armored

Jj (ace were hidden, the spectators did not

fJ bottom drowned by the cutting of his air line,
l i I and which was lifted to the surface with the log
"T.'.'l book In his grip. The victor was tbo hero, and
f l be died on shore of a stab which the vil
li i iLi i laln 'ia inflloted; but as ho was only a

U ir He had served his purpose in a routlngly mclo
J) . In dramatlo situation, and one which the play do
i'r ill pended on mainly for n prosperous issue.
II Is The acting of "Tbo While Heather" was done
9I. by one of those large and able companies that
11 i Charles Frohmon is wont to form for the
U'l y reproduction of English melodramas ut the
if I ! Academy. It rontalucd lloso Cogblsn in
ft I ' a jovial oomedj part, Amelia Ilingham a the
'JF j wronged wife, Olive May as a forward girl, and
Madeleine as a scheming one. Among the men
' , , under suitable assignments woro Francis Car-
, lype. Miller Kent. It. F. Cotton, Harry Har-
V I . wood and ltlchard Dennett. They and others
'.f did their work acceptably.
& Paris farces usually come to New York after
fM 1 1 an apparent disinfection, which, aiming to con-

j?i J ceath tho attompt to make them harmless

V ll I play, which, in the school of Dlsion, Feydeau,
ll I and Carre Is not far to be sought. The success
j j ful disguise of underlying motives has been
ll j eometimes accomplished by ingenious adapters.
By In tho caso of "The Oay Parisians "aud "Never
Again," to take the two most modern in-
',' j stances, the necessary purification has
s' been accomplished without injury to tho
J'j I Intrigue and the spirit. Last night at
I' I the Manhattan Theatre tbero was an
' I example of complete expurgation, which had
I robbed a French farce, not only of Its sug-
r 1 gestlveness. but of every other reasonable mo-
r 1 tlve. The play, called In English "UU Uttle
I Dodce," was taken from a French work of Fey
i vh deuu uud Uennequln. The English form of the
I 7 piece was by Justin II. McCarthy, and in his
,yt effort to free the work of objectionable
ifjCX matter, he had succeeded in depriving the play
an If of every eieu eut of humor and logic that It may
Mk la have possessed in the original. The familiar
F ff Lg icheme of the flirtatious husband and
IB tho suspicious wife was varied by the
r Im Introduction of hypnotism as oce of the
'iMi-iV elements in the Intrigue. With no knonledgo
VWIB of tho French original, it can bo said without
i VfP hesitation that no adapted play has failed more
fr completely within recent years. Tho adapter
Irlh bad left umero skeleton of the original drama.

III I elements not agreeable to English audiences.
'Ill I 'lbe result was a few sketchy episodes, dtscon-

'A played, but possibly the actors were not to
, blame. They need not bo mentioned here, for

' dure much longer" than " His Little Dodge."
That vtlll be short lived, indeed.
Preceding the play tbero came a one-act must-
' cal farce called ''A Close Shave." It served as
' ' an agreeable Introduction to the play. Its words

Oeorge W. Anson proved himself an ainuslmr

New London, Nov. 22. Eastern Connecticut
and western Rhode Island are justnow dripping
with the blood of thousands ot fat Thanksgiving
turkeys, and the crop I being hurried Into mar
ket by the ton. The banner shipment of Con
necticut turkeys has come out of the ancient
town of North Slonlngton, whence over thirty
ton of the bird havo been shipped by rail and
steamer to New York, Washington, Providence,
ane Boston. In fact, tho freight depot in that
part of the State and at Westerly, R. I., will bo
swamped with dead turkeys from now until late
on Wednesday afternoon.
Tho North Slonlngton turkey are claimed by
Connecticut people to bo the best In tbo world.
Nearly every husbandman makes a specialty ot
turkey raising, and fattens tho birds principally
on white corn and buckwheat. The turkeys
also get large quantities of huckleberries and
chestnuts, and somo of them grow to an enor
mous size. Tholr wolght runs as high as forty
pounds at times, and turkoys of twenty and
twenty-five pounds aro common. A good aver
age wolght Is twelve pounds, however, birds
whose flesh Is firm and of a pinkish white. Tho
prices obtained for these birds Is from threo to
four cents a pound moro than those paid for the
Northern and Western turkeys.
For many years tho turkey raisors hereabouts
havo sent the largest fowl of tho season to tho
President of the United States for his Thanks
giving dinner. Tho lato Senator IL D. Anthony
of Hhodo Island sot tho fashion moro than
twenty rears ago. This season thero will bo

already shipped two handsome turkeys of the
rronie variety to the President and his secre
tary, Mr. Porter. Of courso President McICIn
ley's turkey Is tho larger of the tn o. It weighs
twenty-eight pounds and is a beauty, with a
skin of the most delicate shade of pink. On one
side of the breast of tbo bird Is tho inscription:
muresoiTLia. I
: w. h'k. :
: 1897. :
The words are placed in a framework of small
tars. On the other side of tbo bird's breast aro
the initials ot the raiser. Tho marking was
done by pricking the turkey's flesh with hot
needles after it was killed, and It is expected
that the letters will be legible when the bird Is
cookod and set before tho President,

WAcniNQTOX, Nor. 22. An important change
la the manner of extending Invitations to and
the character of the regular yearly ofilola! even

to-day by Mr. John Addison Porter, secretary to
the President. Heretofore a card of Invitation
wo for the series ot four functions. The new
plan is to divide up the persons entitled to at
tend among the various affairs, so that a mem
ber of Congress who is invited to the reception
In honor of the Diplomatlo Corps will not re
ceive on Invitation to the function In honor ot
tbo army and nary. Mr. Porter said to-day that
bis reasons for making the change was tho ne
cessity ot reducing the attendance, which In
previous years bad been too great for the capac
ity of the White House and the safety and com
fort of the guests.
As usual the official social season will begin
with tho afternoon reception on New Year'eTDay.
It will last from 11 A. M. until 1:30 P. M. .half an

Washington. Not. 22. The Government
transferred to-day to the Union Paclflo Reorgan
ization Commltteo tho $13,615,250 of bonds held
by tho Government as a sinking fund for the
company, which bonds were knocked down to
the Reorganization Commlttoe on its bid of par
at tho foreclosure sale at Omaha on Nor. 1. To
pay tor them a check for $13,045,250, drawn by
the committee upon tbo Mercantile Trust Com
pany of New York city to the order of tho Treas
urer of tho United States, was deposited
in the National City Bank at New York, the cer
tificate of deposit being given to James F.
Mellne, Assistant Treasurer, who represent
ed Mr. Roberts there. A part of tho bonds,
91,500,000 In amount, which had been held In
the Sub-Treasury at New York, was delivered
at the same time by Mr. Mellne to the represen
tatives of the Reorganization Committee. The
deposit of the inonoy was announcod by tele
phone to Secretary Gage at 12 o'clock, in a
special message from Mr. Mellne, whereupon
the delivery of the bonds was made. Two rep
resentatives of the commttlee, Messrs. Creek
and Adee, sent to Washington for that purpose,
received the rest of tbo bonds, 60,140, '250, in
Treasurer Roberta's olUto here.
All ibis formality and precision were made
necessary by the terms of Judge Sanborn's de
cree which required that the transfor of cash
and bonds should be mad hy the parties simul
taneously. The money deposited in the National
City Bank will bo divided among the special
depositories in New York selected by Assistant
Secretary Yanderlip to handle tlicimoney, as
follows: National Clfv Bank, SlO.123,050; Chase
National Bank, f 1,043,600; Hanover National
Bank. 6913,200; Western National Bank, $521,

National Bank, f 260,000; National Bank ot the
Republic, SV417.400: American Exchange Na
tional Bank, 8200,000. The flnuncial institu
tions Interested, it is understood, out ot abun
dant caution, decided not to undertake nt their
own risk the transportation of tho bonds deliv
ered at Washington to New York, and these
were carried by an oxpress company. Thoy are
negotiable, being made payablo " to bearer" by
the order of Secretary Guge. Thero were 248 of
them altogether, and of course they made a bulky
package In fact, two of them. If tbo carrier
gave the Reorganization Commltteo the same
rate at which It docs the Government's busi
ness, the cost of transportation will be $U14.223.
The appearance of HO cents In the transaction
has given to the Treusury officials no end of
worry, and the disposition to be made of it may
?et be referred to Congress. The sum named in
bo decree of salo Included tho 89 cents, but how
It got thero the Treasury people have no Idea.
It was an error, and they express to tbe Reor
ganization Committee a perfect willingness to
waive tbe Government's claim toll. But tho
members of tbo committee said they couldn't
avail themselves of tbe proffered waiver, and
there it Is, A suggestion to add it to tho con
science fund did not meet with favor at the
department. If Congress doesn't come to the
relief ot the Bookkeeping, Warrant, and Publlo
Moneys division, 11 new account will have to bo
openod for the care of that 80 vents.
In the ordinary course of business the check
for $13,645,250 will pass through the Oloarlng
House this morning as a chnrgo against the
Fourth National Bank, by which it will bo paid
as the redemption agent of tbe Mercantile
Trust Company. Though the check Is a big one,
Iarger checks have passed through New York
tanks In recent years. The Union Paclflo Re

up of the new organization after tbe property

company, has asked tbe following to act as a

In Congress last year, and resulted In accusa

ZITJS TOPICS ABOVX TOITJV.
One of tbe noticeable features of the reoent
Horse Show was the tendency on the part ot
the women who were there to return to the
fashion of wearing simpler and darker clothe.
Ot the New York women who attended th
bow regularly this wo particularly obsorvablo.
In many cases tailor-mode cloth gowns were
worn In place of the elaborate costumes which
(our or fire years ago began to bo considered
approprlato. The atmosphore of th show
was never suited to such dressing, but the
fashion wa accepted o generall that nobody
thought of criticising it. This fashion of cos
tume wo Imitated by visitors from out of
town, and New Yorkers bod an opportunity of
seeing the effect ot these elaborate gowns when
thoy .were possibly not qulto tip to the metro
politan standard. This was tho lesson of last
Jeer's show, and tho result was seen on tbe
rst day ot the show Just over. Tho dressing
of the Now York women had suddenly grown
quieter and of a kind hotter suited to tho char
acter ot the exhibition. As tho week passed
this effect was moro noticeable, and it is antici
pated that tho result will be moro strongly felt
next year. This Is tho first move toward bring
ing tho show back to, something of tho elm
SUctty which was associated with it until about
ve or six years ago,
Tho concert it luxe are new to New York,
and the task ot making thoa scorn usual has
proved rather difficult, although with every
succeeding performance the appearance of the
ballroom has grown more brilliant. Tho dell
cato work of depriving tbo women of their
headgear which Is so often a difficult matter
In this city has. finally been accomplished with
almost comploto success, and tho Importance
Attached to tho dress sult'af ter tho'opcnlng con
cert was so well emphasized that It was the
uniform garb of all the men who attended the
second concert. With these two difficulties
ovcrcomo nnd tho return to town of many sub
scrlbers who wero not hero when the previous
concerts were held, it is believed that the bril
liancy of the crowds will increase with every
succeeding evening. As it was, tho ballroom
of the Astoria Hotel last Thursday ovening
lookod llko a mlnla'.uro of tbe auditorium at
tbe Mclro.inlltan. But there have arisen
other difficulties In connection with tho con
certs qulto independent ot the matter of dress.
This was exhibited very plainly ono morning
last week, when the telopbone boll In the office
rang lolontly. The namo glvon by tho caller
was that of ono of tho subscribers, and be
wantod an answer to this quostlon: "Does
Mme. Ysoyo Blng to-morrow nlghtl" The cour
teous reply was that Mme, xsayo would not
sing on tho following night, but that M. Ysaye
would piny tho violin. But as such mistakes
as this do not affect tho appearance of the
t house, they are much less important.
The question as to whether or not one of the
new restaurants made an explicit announce
ment as to tho character of the guests It would
entertain Is not so weighty as it might seem,
because every restaurant proprietor knows how
be can rid himself of undoslrablo patronage
when It has not grown too habitual. The story
of a woll-lcnown singer who got no supper in a
large restaurant last summer has not been for
gotten. In her case tho thing was donomeroly
by tho continued abstraction of tho waiters,
who were so obsorbod In attending other guest
that they qulto overlooked the presence of the
unwelcome couple Ono phaso of the question
fias never been touched on, although ll la in o
orge measure responsible for the occasional
troublcsas to the character oflrcstaurant guests
that arlso from tlmo to time There aro scarce
ly any restaurants of character in New York
which society win not Invade whenever It
feels like It, Many places which started with a
reputation thut might bo described oa Bo
hemian havo elnco been occupied entirely by
persons who aro now supposed to object to the
character of tbo former patrons of the place.
It may be that somo Idea of a right to do what
they see others doing sometimes leads Into fash
lonablo restaurants the persons who are
thought to havo no bright tbero. The musio
and tbo smoking are recent features of res
taurant life In New York that have Imparted
an informant y to tholmost chining establish
ments, and they may have bad tholr share In
promoting the accoslbilltr of places which
were formerly regarded with own. One point of
difference between this country and Europe
might be found in tbe fact that no restaurant
keeper over thoro would over be particularly
worried over the character of his guests, so long
as they were presentable and behoved them
selves. But his indlfiercnco to their charac
ter is readily understood, as his guests are never
likely to demand any more of their neighbors.
Mme. Marcollo Sembrloh has every reaeon to
be satisfied with her brief experience in New
York, for no singer has ever be foro established
herself so quickly In the affections of the New
York public. Sho bos practically been heard
only three times. But the audiences at tbe
Metropolitan concert have steadUy Increased
In size and there have rarely boon more pcoplo
in tbo theatro than there wero on Sunday last.
Mme. Bembrlch, In epito of her great Euro
pean reputation, was in reality a beginner here,
as her appearances In opera at tbe outset of her
career wore remembered by fow. Now York
loams chiefly ot tho sinters wbo appear in Lon
don and possibly Paris. Somo of the Bayreuth
names occasionally becomo familiar, but not
many of them. Tbe salaries paid at Covent
Garden and in Pari aro so small that Mme.
Bembrlch could not afford to sing frequently in
e'ther city. So New Yorkers heard little of her.
Tho conditions in New York are very curious.
A singer must appear under certain circum
stances In order to receive any public notlco.
There aro U10 opera company nt the Metropoli
tan, possibly the Philharmonic and ono or two
other means of being Introduced to the publlo
with every condition favorable to Zsuccoes,
Mme, Scmbrleh had none ot these advantages
In her favor and has won her present great pop
ularity solely becauso she Is one of the greatest
artist of tho day. bho could Blng at the Metro
politan all winter if previous engagements did
nut compol her to go to San Francisco. Her
success Is a tribute to the Judgment ot New
Yorkers. Her venture in this country has been
undertaken ontlrely on her own responsibility,
nnd her Judgment in that matter has been Justi
fied, as ft looks now as though she would havo
an enormously profitable aouson. Fow singers
hare a repertoire about the same as that of
Adellna Pattl that is likely to be so popular
all over the country in concert performances.
The successful concert Bingrrs in this country
have been thn women who havo sung tho old
rpcrtoiro. and thero uro few to-dny likely tn do
this so brilliantly as Mme. Scmbrleh ana Mme.
Mclbo. Mme. Paul's cloak Is likely to fall on
the charming shoulders ot ono or the other of
thoso two singers. Or they may divide it.
DAMES FORGOT THE DOLLARS.
Ask the City lor 880,000 for tho Colonial
Garden" Can't Have It.
A committee from tbo Colonial Dames, headed
by Mrs. Townsend, President, waited on the
Board of Estimate yesterday and asked (or 850,
000 to improve tbe "Colonial Garden" in Van
Cortlandt Park. They said Uiat they hod pro
vided, in the law which gavo to them the cus
tody of tbe Van Cortlandt manor house for
everything except the raising of the neces
sary money. Mayor Strong and tho other mem
bers of tbe board joked them a bit on that score
and said that they will have to get along with
the 815,000 nsked tor by tho Park Board to
drain their garden. If they want more ther
will have to ask the Legislature for it.

St. Locis, Not. 22. A conference was opened
here to-day to settle the coal etrlko In Illinois
and contiguous districts. The mine workers'
commltteo appoared before the commission of
the Manufacturers' Association and set forth
tho Btrikers' claims. The wage question Is re
garded as practically settled, the scale recently
adopted at Springfield, 111., being satisfactory to
most of tbo operators and miners.
But there are a number of other matters to
settle. A scarcity of coal here la attributed to

operators to suspend work until the demand
