The rirt Apaearanee of Lester Wallack lathe Bnn rur Play hw m Single Anther at a Matinee An Anelless Rale ar Ticket far the Maine Sufferers ote el tb riarrn. There was a time when ths best and most fa mous actors we bad were to bo found in tho Bowery, but that was boca'use Broadway had no thcatros. In a later period, when tho stock organizations ot tho cast aldo had given way to travelling companlos, the colobrltlcs of tho stago would not njprform there for fear ot smirching their professional reputations. Upon the opening of tho Windsor, which had been -rcctcd on tho alto of Iho burned Stadt. tho man ager desired to begin with a performance that would at onco command largo audlonces nnd sot an oxatnple tor eminent players to follow. Ho approached tho late Lester Wnllaak with n proposition that he should como to tho Wlndior with his company, which was then ln fashion ablo Broadway voguo. Mr. Wallnck said somotblng llko tut-tut nnd pooh-pooh. But when tbo offer of tho cntlro gross receipts was mado to him, ho replied that ho would think about It, The rosult of his meditation was that Lester Wallack and his associates at Wallack'g presented "Ours" at tho Windsor. The visit d veloped all the vnluo that had boen counted on, Tho proudest actors visited Uio Bowery until the theatres there fell Into disfavor, nnd no longer yielded n sufficient uroflt. A similar chango of rating has taken placo in thoso vaudeville theatres wherein tho absenco of nlcohollo traffic marks a distinction from tho concert halls. The carller.dramatlo actors to appear ln tho "con tlnuous" shows wero suWeots of astonishment and commiseration. It was thought that they would lose casto to such an extent ;as to ren der them forover worthless ln "legitimate" employment. Alroady that prejudlco has practically disappeared. The names of well reputed artists ln th vaudevlllo advertlso tnonts no longer mean anything except promises of Interesting amusement, '1 not Maurice Bar rymoro la at tbo Pleasure Palace, or Minnie Sellgman at Proctor's, or Isnbcllo Urquhart nt Keith's, or Beatrice Morclnnd at Pastor's, causes no comment, nor docs tho announcement that among tho forlhcoininglrocruits to vuudo vlllo is Jnmcs II. Stoddart. These and tunny others now pass to nnd fro between drnmatlo and vaudeville stages, ns tholr opportunities Srompt, without any sacrifice, of professional Ignlty. There is hardly any liking of short plays by thcatro nudlencep. Examples of that kind of stage litcraturo are rarely shown except ln charity programmes and dramatic, school exhi bitions. One of the latter occasions brought out four now pieces by a single author at Hoyt's yesterday afternoon. They wore tho nork of Allco Yntcs Grant, Their principal merits wcro originality of idea and rapidity of move mont. Their worst fault was a fcmlnlno lack of virility. Thuro was not much of ama teurish crudity to complain of in tho composi tion, even though there was a scant amount of brilliance. "The Sword of Rcmcmbranco" wns a sentimental and pathetic conceit. A very old mnn encountered tho granddaughter of tho woman whom ho had loved when he was young, and, as alio had dressed herself In her unccstor'n gown the old man fancied that sho w.is really tho object of his llfo-Iong mciiiorv. "a Bach elor's Wife" was in u comedy vein, Thrco girls, an artist, an author and an architect by occupation roomed together in Bohemian fash ion und hudeomo humorous experiences with tho w ooor of one of them. "Jerry Jlurke, Moon shiner," was a serious drama In oro act. Tho bero wns a revenue olllccr, tho heroine wns a distiller of illicit whiskey and the old. old choice betwoen luvo and duty presented Itself to tho mnn. "Tho f. lsslng Mrs. Pettljohn" was n farco at n rallwav station with n young wlfo wbo had missed a train, an eloping girl waiting for one, a comic luUundcrclundlng as to their Identities nnd a lurgo number uf Incidental characters bustling ln nnd out, Tho perform ers wc:o advanced students of tho btnnhopo Wheitcroft Dramatic School, There wero thirty-tuo of them in spcuklng nMcs and hnlf as many moro ln Bllent parts. Their avcrugo of aptness nnd proflclcn'.'y was high nnd some of them reached a professional standard of fit ness for stago employment. The improvement over the earlier matlneo of tho same Institution was marked. At tho Metropolitan Opera House yesterday afternoon thero was an auction sale of boxes and scats for the performance to be given under tho auspices of the Mornino Telegraph ln behalf of tho sufferers from tbe battleship Maine disaster. Ciiauncey M, Depow was lo havo spokon before tho selling ot scats began, but wns delayed, and tho bidding bogan beforo he arrived. It was halted for hie remarks after a fow boxes bad been sold. Dr. Dcpew ad mitted in beginning Hint It was the duty of a railroad man to bo on time, and laid his tardi ness to his having been meeting other railroad men. Of the sltunltnn at Havana ho said: "Tho country Btnnds still awaiting a verdict, but our sympathies do not stand still. Wo bavo a committee upon tho scene ot the disaster to examine into the mutter, tn see if a crime lias been committed, nnd If not, to say no, but If that crime lias been committed. If our flag has been nssallcd, If our brothers havo died as a ro sult of that crimo and or that assault, to avuet tho vengeance fur nn Insulted flag and an in uded territory. But no trust not. Wo hopo that, pence may ho maintained. In this pres ent undertaking thero is nn question of patriot ism. The Malno went to Havana on a peaceful mission, hut ready at a moment's notice to do bnttlo if need be. All Per men, therefore, took their lives in their hands. They met deuth, und are ns much heroes as though tlicy died in bottle."

Hie son Lawrence and Kllen Terry went over to Paris to see the ploy, nnd decided that it was not suited to English taste, or to American, for that matter, It would lie safo to say, Judging from tbe accounts of It. It ap pears to be as poetic, and as undramatto as Copp6o's "Pour la Couronno" and several other French dramas which are novor suited to our stago. Tho humor of tho play is said to de pend largely on tbe Gnscony patois, and the loftier languago, beautiful us it Is, seems to bo rather declamatory than drauintlc. But there can be no question of tho success of tho drama In Paris, Thero it. Is tbo sensation ot tho season. Sir Henry Irvlng's next production will bo the piny by Trnill and Hicbens.

Sue was sought out, accepted tbo In Tltatlon gladly, and set to work to unpack her wardrobe, which had not been in use, and had been put away for protection against the moths. That night appeared on the stage a highly Imposing figure, and seemingly sure of conquest. Her appearance impressed the audience most favorably, hut had a remarkablo effect on her associates. Claudlue, after several painful attempts to keep his face straight, finally let out a eneezo which shook tho boards on which he stood. Courtiers and others htandlng In (bo vicinity of the (juecn of Denmark were simi larly affected, and the doleful councils ot the royal court wero disturbed by lncoisant snooz ing, When Jlamlct approached his mother, the princely features were suddenly distorted, and he sneezed so Incessantly tbat Use aston ished audience heard nothing of the text.

Twenty-seven hoboes who had been rounded up by tho Jersey City police were arraigned in the Second Criminal Court yestoiday morninir.

Whenever the party found n tramp on the road he was lifted into an empty car and the car door locked. A chalk mark wns then inndo on tbe car for identification. This pnrt of the business was attended to by Detective Peter Morris of the railroad company. Some of the hoboes wero found slcaping in cars. These were locked up In tho somo way.

Daniel D. Dovoro, U. S. A aide to tha Secretary ot War, is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, impatiently awaiting tho arrival ot tho Allan lino steamship Manttoban, now twenty days out from Alton, Norway, with 600 rclndcor for the Klondike relief expedition. Tho Manltoban is two days overdue. Liout, Devore is not appre hensive for her ultimate safety, but he fears that the rough passago, indicated by ber slow trip, bas boon disastrous to tho reindeer. The Lieutenant left No w York with the Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson on Christmas Day, They went to London. Lieut, Deroro stayed thero to hlro a steamship, and Dr. Jackson, who has had much experience with Laplanders and reindeer, wont on to Norway to look out for tho collection of tho herd. One Skjellmann, n Norwegian, had left Washington In advance of Lieut, Dovore and Dr. Jackson as a preliminary skirmisher. A man named Max Hanson was nlso nhoad of them, though without oqual authority from tbe War Department, Hansen had cabled tho War Department that ho could furnish all tho rein deer neoded. Tbo department referred him to Lieut. Dovore, who met him In London. Ho found, so ho says, tbat Hanson had considered tho answor to his offer as something llko nn ap pointment to act as advanco agent. It was im possible to charter a steamship except through Hanson, who had an option on every boat that was Immediately available. On tho representa tion ot the President ot tho Allan lino that tho Manltoban could mako Now York from Alton in fourteen days, sho was hired. Hansen then assured Llout. Devoro tbat Skjell mann and Dr. Jackson could not possibly get any reindoer in Norway, for thero was nono to be had excopt thoso that Hanson himself con trolled. Skjellmann reported that ho was hav ing great difficulty In getting a quota of animals. Lieut, Dovoro then mado a contract with Han sen, agreeing tn tako from Hansen at H)300 a head as many rolndoor as wero ncodod to in creaso to 600 tho herd collected by Skjellmann and Jackson. Hansen hurried on toTrondbjoni. When tho Lieutenant reached Trondbjem with tho Manltoban he found thnt Hansen had collected GOO reindeer. Tho Ltoutcnant refused to accept n single ono ot them until ho board from Skjellmann and Jackson. "In tbe first Iilu.ce," said Hansen, uccording to Lieut, levorc. "they could havo bought no rein deer; In tho second place, If thoy had bought any. They could bring them down to TroDdbJcm and slaughter thom for meat without any loss of tho money invested. Tho Llou tenant, replied that If reindeer moat was so easily and profitably disposed of, it would doubtless be on easy matter for Hansen to get rldof as many as wcro left on bis hands after those needed for tho expedition bad been bought for him. Hansen expressed great dissatisfaction with this arrangement. Ho nsked Llout. Dovoro to relmburso him for money bo bad ndvnnced for moss to feed the animals. The Licutenuut de clined. Ho would have sent Hanson packing, he says now, were It not that he was afraid that tho Norwegian was correct ln saying tbat no reindeer could be obtaiuod oxcept through him self. It seemed possibla that he could infiuenco the LuDlunders to rof use to sell reindeer. Justwbnn tholr relations wcro strained to tho point of a break Dr. Jackson Bent word from Alton that bo and Skjellmnn bad over 500 picked nnd trained reindeer. When It bncamo plain that Lieut. Devoro was hot going to buy Hansen's animals tho Laplander who bad sold them to the middle man, wbo ln turn bad sold them to Hansen, camo down, Llout. Devoro says, on tho mid dlcmon for bis money, Tho middleman said he could not pay until Hanson Dald. Tbe Laplander caused tbo middle man's arrest and the middleman took tho same step regarding Hansen, who was locked up. Ho Is now in jail in Chrlstlnnla. Tho charge ngaliiBt htm, Liout. Dcvore sayB, Is that nf obtaining property under tho pretence thnt ho wns un ngent of tbo United States, duly authorized by Lieut. Devore. Tbo Lieutenant wna detained as a witness.

He wont with tha Mnnltobnn to Altcn, and sho sailed from tbat port on Fob. 4. Ho came back ns rapidly as posslblo by way of England.
