r- "THE HEART OF CHICAGO."
Tile above play has been seen here
on several occasions and it lias al
ways given good satisfaction and that
as the result of the iert'onuauce last
night. It was ah entirely now com
pany and the members of the cast were
all good in their respective parts.
This company will be here for three
days and will give matinees daily, and
all who desire to see an interesting
flnr? nlpflsm iii-tonitiTn.t -jlif.iil.l iinr
fail to attend. The scenic effects are
excellent aud the whole performance
Is deserving of good crowds for the
test of the engagement.
"THE SOLDIER'S QUEEX
Miss Josephine Sabel in "The Soldier's-Queen"
should prove a line at
traction at Poli's this evening. She
will certainly give a capital comedy
performance, for her long time promi
nence in the bills at Koster & Bial's
New York theater proved a singing
comedienne of brilliant parts. It was
she who first made prominent "A Hot
Time In the Old -Town," bringing it
out at Koster & Bial's. Miss Sabel.
however, is not the only conspicuous
feature of "The Soldier's Queen." as
she is forced to divide attention with
Schilzonyi's Hungarian Boys' Military
band. This organization is made up
of midgets who are actually in many
cases smaller than the instruments
they play upon, but it lias won a world
wide reputation for marvelous musical
skill and excellence. To hear these
midgets play dn(.. wonders whence
comes their extraordinary musical
skill, and it is at once credited to na
tive genius. "The Soldier's Queen"
should draw out lovers of fun in large
numbers. Prices are 'Z, 35, DO, 75
cents and $1.
"JACK AND THE BEANSTALK."
Klaw & Erlanger's superb spectacu
lar extravaganza. "Jack and the Bean
Stalk," makes its farewell visit to Poli's
to-morrow evening, when it will be
produced with all the gorgeous wealth
of the original production, including
an excellent cast of well known artists.
Each act abounds with Indescribable
Interest; there is much delightful
,-i -ir is..-"
music, scores of beautiful girls, daz
zling scenes, wonderful mechanical
and electrical effects, gorgeous cos
tumes, intricate inarches and bewilder
ing ballets, in fact, there is as much in
this rare offering as would constitute
a. half dozen other attractions and well
suited to all classes, including the most
critical taste. To those who admire
extravaganza "Jack and the Bean
stalk" is all that can be imagined, for
1t has never been surpassed in its
line. Seats are now on sale, prices
lieing 25, 35, 50, 75 cents and 1.
WHEX WE WERE TWEXTY-OXE."
Much pleasure will be felt at the an
nouncement that William Morris and
his fine company of players have been
secured to present the beautiful love
comedy, "When We Were Twenty
One," as the Thanksgiving attraction
at Poli's. This will lie the third time
this season for this play to be pre
sented here. On its first performance
so pronounced was the impression cre
ated that the management was impor
tuned .to bring it back. The first per
formance drew only a small audience,
but cm the return engagement Poli's
Was packed. When it was learned that
it could be secured for Thanksgiving
the local management at once took
steps to secure it, and now local show
goers will have a chance to see the
. finest attraction ever offered them on
a Thanksgiving day. Matinee and ev
ening performances will be given, and
we confidently predict that every seat
In Poli's will be taken at both per
formances. Seats go on sale to-morrow
at 25, 35, 50, 75 cents aud $ 1.
T BOWERY BURLESQUERS.
1 Hurtig and Seamon's Bowery Bur
lesquers' will be the Thanksgiving at
traction at . the Jacques, opening for
the balance of the week with a special
holiday matinee on Thursddy. The
company has made a fine reputation
for itself as one of the best comedy
organizations-playing the popular priee
bouses. It is particularly strong in its
singing department,, as is the custom
with all of Hurtig and Seamon's com
panies.. These are the same managers
who recently presented "Aunt Han
nah" at the Jacques, and those who
remember that line performance will
need little assurance concerning that
to be given by the Bowery Burlesquers.
Seats go on sale to-morrow.
, i HI. HENRY'S MINSTRELS.'
A Vii rr o nillonno TJ-OO ni'PSPTlt fit "PfYH'S
theater last night to witness the new
innovation in minstrelsy as presented
, by Hi Henry, the veteran of the niin-
strel field. Everything had been ad
vertised beforehand as new in all par
ticulars and not an advance notice had'
f DUPn II 31 i I "I 1 . 1 lit" III I I 111 I1IJ1III IT
as given last night conld not fail to
please ana an present eujoyeu
and -every number. When the curtain
went Hp on the first part "The Bache
lor's Club," a very pretty scene was
j presented. The stage settings were
admirable and the whole company,
who were present on the stage attired
in dressy' and new costumes. The
endmen were capable! and lieiri jokes
for the -most part were original ana
songs were also catchy and were sting,
f not mouthed. J. Albert Gates made a
I capable and efficient interlocutor and
My v '
the ends were cared for very acceptably-
by Messrs Harrington, - Mitchell,
Belknap,- Dove,- Corrigan and LaRue.
Hi Henry himself directed the music,
which fact alone attested the worth
of the performance. The solos, duets
and quartettes w'ere in -efficient hands
and the songs were also new and the
voices blended musically and beauti
fully. Hi Henry in cornet solos and
his excellent band musicians created
much favorable comment. The vaude
ville features of the entertainment
were also good. Perhaps the one which
created the greatest interest was the
work of J. A. Probst, called the human
song bird." His remarkable imitations
of all kinds of birds created much in
terest and won for this artist very
generous applause.''' Corrigan - and
Dove gave a very pleasing dance act.
Belknap, the clay modeler, introduced
something novel in this city ana his
work of modeling figures was a treat.
Mitchell and Marron gave a very
amusing and interesting comic duet.
The program concluded with some of
the best acrobatic feats seen here in
any season, by the Couture brothers.
Some of their feats were really marvelous.

THE STURGIS WAGER f
A DETECTIVE STORY.
y By EDGAR MORETTE.
p Copjriifht, 1899, by Frederic A. Stokes Co.
CHAPTER X.
PIECING THE EVIDENCE.
Sturgis was still busy with his dia
gram. He spoke without looking up
from hi work.
"Who besides yourself has a key to
the drawer in which this revolver is
kept?"
"The cashier has one and the head'
bookkeeper has another."
"You mean the bookkeeper who sits
at the desk at the extreme right in the
bookkeepers' department?"
"Yes," replied Dunlap, "that is Mr.
Arbogast's desk. Do you knowbim?"
"No. What did you say the gentle
man's name is?" The reporter looked
up and prepared to make a note of it.
"John W. Arbogast,"
"A man something over 55 years of
age, quite bald, with a fringe of gray
hair; wears a heavy mustache and side
whiskers; and had on j esterday after
boon, when you last saw him, a pepper-and-salt
business suit," said Sturgis,
writing down the name in his note
book.' Dunlap stared at the reporter in
amazement. Sturgis smiled slightly.
"I met the gentleman j-esterday aft
ernoon," he explained.
"Oh, that accounts for it!" exclaimed
the banker. "I see but but, then,
how comes it that you did not know his
name?"
"He did not tell me his name," Baid
Sturgis, gravely, "and I did not know
until just now that he was employed in
the Knickerbocker bank. How long
has he been with you?"
"Nearly 20 years; but only for the
last five year3 as head bookkeeper."
"I suppose you have every confidence
in his honest y?" asked the reporter,
looking critically at the diagram be
fore him.
"Of course. Such a position is not
given to a man unless his record is ex
cellent." "And yet," cbserved the reporter, re
flectively, "opportunity sometimes
makes the thief."
"True; but the duty of a bank presi
dent is to reduce such opportunities
to a minimum," said Dunlap, somewhat
pompously.
"Quite so," assented Sturgis, "and
this j'ou accomplish by " N
"By having the books examined pe
riodically," answered the banker, rub
bing his hands together with calm sat
isfaction. "I see," said the reporter, who had
now finished' his sketch. "Do the em
ployes of the bank know when an exam
ination of this kind is to be made?"
"They do not even know that such
examinations are made. No one but
the accountant and myself are in the
secret ; for the overhauling of the books
is done entirely at night, aftr the bank
is closed."
"Have the books been recently ex
amined?" asked Sturgis, carelessly.
"Yes; only last week."
"Well?"
"They were found to be all right, as
usual."
"May I ask by whom?"
. "By Murray & Scott, the expert ac
countants." -
"Was the examination conducted by
Mr. Murray or by Mr." Scott ?"
"Saose are his very words," contx
ired the reporter; "thosehe telegraphed
to Chatham yesterday.'as- you will see
if v.u. hold before that mirror this
sheet of blotting paper which I found
.on Arbogast's desk." 4 - ' .
Dunlap, with an unsteady hand, took
the blotting paper; and, holding it be
fore the glass, studied the reflection
intently. ' ,;;-' " J : 7-'.
"What do you make out?" asked
Sturgis. ' V . -
" "Nothing-' whatever,1" 'replied " the
banter, nromstlv :" , .
"WSat?" "exclaimed : the ; reporter;
j"do you fmean to1 say 'that you do not
distinguish, any marks on the blotting
paper?"
"I mean to say that I do not see any
thing to which I can attach , any sem
blance of a meaning. The blotting pa
per has been used, and, of course,
there are ink marks upon it; but, as
far as I can see, these are wholly dis-"
connected. They are. entirely void of
sense to my eyes, at any rate."
"Examine the blotter again careful
ly in this direction," said Sturgis,
drawing an imaginary line upon the
mirror, "and pay no attention to any
other marks which aeem to cross these
lines. Now do you see anything?"
The banker examined the image in
the mirror for some time before reply
ing. "If I allow my imagination to ent
into play, I can complete several iso
lated letters."
"Will you dictate these while I not
them here. Be careful to distinguisl
between capital and lower-case letters.
Also separate the lines, and state
whether letters come close together
or are separated by a space."
"Very well," agreed Dunlap, who
then proceeded to read oil the letters
he saw in the reflection of the blotter
in the mirror.
When he had finished, Sturgis hand
ed him the jxiper, upon which were
transcribed the letters he had dictated.
They presented the appearance shown
below:

G e p t m t y
err th 11 s s

J St
"Well," said the banker, "if you can
make anything out of that gibberish,
your imagination is more active than
mine."
"It is not a question of imagination,"
said Sturgis; "let us proceed systemat
ically. Here is a telegram blank de
tached from c pad I found on Arbo
gast's desk. Compare its size with the
outline of the marks on the blotter,
and you will see, in the first place, that
the message would just fit snugly on
this slieet. Next, you will probably
admit that the first line of marks on the
blotter probably contain a date; the
second, a name; the third, an address;
the last, a signature, and the interme
diate lines, a message."
"I am quits willing to concede so
much; for no business man would be
likely to write a telegram differentlj'."
"Very well. Now, then, let me hold
this blank so that the reflection of its
vertical rulings may appear just above
the image of the message. These lines,
remember, separate the words of the
message. Extend them mentally, and
note how they divide the letters of the
blotter. Will you hold these sheets
while I transcribe the result?"
In a few minutes more the reporter
had drawn several lines on his copy of
the reflection in the mirror.
"I don't see that you are any better
off now than you were before," re
marked Dunlap, examining the result'.
"Wait a minute. These vertical lines,
we say, divide the words of the message.
There are five words to the line; only
two on the last line before the sig
nature; that is to say, 12 words in
the message. Now, consider the first
word. Evidently the 'G' begins this
word since it is a capital; andtheflour
ish on the tail of the 'e' tells us plain
ly enough where the word ends. Note
the space between the 'G' and the 'e.
Have you ever taken the trouble to as
certain how constant in any giveD
handwriting is the space occupied by
the different letters? Try it some time.
Count the characters which you have
written in a number of different lines,
reckoning spaces and punctuation
marks oach as one character, and ob
serve how closely the results will
tally. Basing my conclusions on this
fact, I may safely affirm that the
first word of the message is 'Game,'
'Gave,' 'Give, or some other word of
four letters beginning with 'G and
ending with 'e.' I shall proceed to fill
up the balance of the message as I
read it between the letters."
Sturgis wrote slowly and carefully
for a few minutes.
"There; behold the result."
The message had now assumed this
form :
Dec. 31, 1896.
Thomas Chatham,
. B'wav. City.
Game up Meet me to-day
corner South
and Wall streets
J. W. Arbogast.
"Compare this with the reflection of
the original and tell me if you do not
now detect various isolated marks and
incomplete letters, all of which tally
with the text I have inserted here.".
Dunlap mads the comparison.
"I am obliged to admit that your con
clusions now appear plausible," he re
luctantly admitted.
Sturgis shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, call them plausible, and let us
proceed. Chatham kept the appoint
ment yesterday; but for some reason
Arbogast was delayed in leaving the
bank. Perhaps the necessaryprepara
tions for his flight took longer than he
expected."
"You think he intended to abscond?"
"Why should lie have changed the
combination of his safe, as he did, if npt.
to give himself as much time as possible
to reach a place of comparative safety
before the books could be examined ?,"
asked Sturgis. "Chatham, becoming
impatient, forgot the dictates of pru
dence and started for the bank to as
certain the cause of his accomplice ,
delay. He met Arbogast at the. Wall
street door. The two men reentered,
Arbogast. setting down his satchel in
the vestibule and leaving the outer
door ajar, as Quinlan found it a "few
minutes later, when he stole the satch
el. I have every reason to believe that
it was at Chatham's request that the
men returned. He wished to use the
telephone, and he did so." ' .
, "Your story is connected, and it is
sertainly not lacking in detail's," said
Dunlap, incredulously; "in fact, the de
tails are far too abundant for the evi
dence thus far advanced." '
"Every one of the details is based Up
on facts," replied Sturgis. "What I
have accomplished thus far has been
simple' enough, because luck has fa
vored us. Yesterday being . cleaning
day at the bank,, the floors were
scrubbed some time during the after
noon, before 1 Arbogast was ready to
leave and before Chatham had arrived.
It thus happens that almost every
footstep of the two men has remained
faintly but distinctly Outlined upon the
wet jloors, whichhave since dried, jre-
serving the record.'1 The detectives last
night obliterated a portion of this rec
ord, but 'they have left traces enough
for our purpose. If you care to crawl
around on all fours , as I did you can
readily distinguish these traces ' for .
yourself." " - .' .. '
"No, thank you," answered the bank
er. "I prefer to take your word for this
part of the evidence."
"Then I shall resume my story," said
Sturgis. "The footprints show that
Arbogast stood at his desk while the
scrubbing was going on. We may safe
ly say it was, after half-past four
o'clock when he started to leave the
bank; for otherwise it is presumable
that Chatham would have waited for
him at the corner of South and Wall
streets,' as he was asled to do in the
bookkeeper's telegr4pn. ne first
walked ever to the safe and closed it,
changing the combination, so that the
lock could not be opened until he had
had a fair start. Next he went to the
clerks' room for his hat and coat and
for the satchel in which he had packed
just the few i-.ecessities for immediate
use in his flight. He started to leave
the building through the Exchange
place door; but probably remembered
that the Wall street door was not
locked, and went back to lock it. As
he was about to close tie outer door,
Chatham arrived on the scene, and the
two men reentered, as we have already
seen. The footprints tell their story
fully and absolutely, their chronolog
ical order being established by the oc
casional obliteration of a footprint in
one trail by another. in a subsequent
trail. The two men walked back into
the room in which we now are. Their
actions after this will be clearer to you
if you will follow on this diagram."

DOORWAYS IN CHINA.
PleftxinK . I'jie Made of Many Form
TUat Are Strange to West
ern Ideas.
It is doubtful if the average reader
knows certain interesting facts about
the doors of the celestial kingdom to
speak literally, and not in metaphor.
In China these are often .round, leaf
shaped or semicircular. In placing
them the builder usually avoids having
one opposite another, lest evil spirits
find their way from the street into the
recesses of the building. The . door
ways separating the spurts of a garden
are usually of an elaborate kind, and
the octagonal form is one of the most
popular, says the New York Tribune.
Religious superstition asserts itself
in Chinese architecture, and the uni
versal sacredness of the numerals 3
and 9 is shown in the arrangement
of temple doors. There is a triple gate
way to each of the halls of the impe
rial palace, and the same order prevails
at the Ming tombs, and the sacred per
son of the emperor, When he was in
his Peking home,'' could only be ap
proached, even by the highest officials,
after three times three prostrations.
The Temple of Heaven has a triple roof,
a triple marble staircase, and all its
mystic symbolism points either to
three or its multiples.
It Is Strange
Why so many seem to think they can
not learn how to dance, although they
are quite anxious to know, and shine
as their friends do in society. Take
one ot lite s chances, and succeed you
will, by beginning at the right acad
emy where dancing is strictly taught
by a permanently established profes
sional instructor and you will find that
yon can learn with ease and derive no
little enjoyment. 12 lessons, $o and $0.
