Mr. Monroe monologue and the specialties oi the Hogan Alley kids, E. M. EIHs, Mabelle Harris, James E. Duff, T.

J. Ryan and Carrie Gebest. met with a warm reception and a succession of encores that bade fair to carry the performance over Into the morning hours. Next week, Hoyt's farce, "A Hole In the Ground." Payton's Theater. The sorrows of "The Private Secretary" were a source ot merriment last evening at Payton's Theater, where the ever popular play was produced, under the direction of George Hoey, with a capable cast.

There was standing room only. Corse Payton has already become an Institution in the Eastern as was shown last evening by the applause that greeted the favorites when they made their appearances. Naturally Payton played the part of the secretary, and equally naturally it was played with a humor all his own. The saturnine play of feature of Gillette was missed, but Corse Payton has a way oi ticK ling an audience that is still more effective. In the popular price theaters.

Barton Williams, as Mr. Marsland, assumed the parlor a dignified English gentleman with truthfulness and naturalness that amounted to high art. George Hoey was admirable us the peppery uncle from India. Wilton Taylor filled expectations as the tailor with 'an inclination to get into fashionable circles. The trying part ot Miss Ashford was well taken, by Grace Fox.

There was not a weak line delivered through the evening and the action was well maintained until the curtain fell on the third act. week, "Drifted Apart" and "The Parisian Princess," with Miss Etta Reed in the cast, will be presented, with "The Private Secretary" at matinees. Hyde Behman's. The unusually liberal number of three sketches or short one act plays provides the principal entertainment or the vaudeville bill offered at Hyde Behman's this week. The most ambitious of these, both ae to matter and scenic presentation, is given by Robert Downing and Co.

and consists of the flower scene from "Irigomar." This act is not new in this borough or. in this theater and, while pleasing to some portions of the audience, the gallery gods made it apparent they did not like the love scenes. This characteristic of vaudeville audiences was also unpleasantly apparent during the presentation ''of a second short play, presented by Lillian Burkhart, and entitled "A Deal on Change." This act is much better than. the average, much of it is really clever, and the famous fall of the heroine in "Henrietta," when the lover drops her to run to see the stock ticker. Is repeated with effect and success.

But the gallery displayed unusual Impatience over the small love dialogue and this" in spite of the fact that Mies Burkhart and W. Gerald, who is aieo seen in the sketch, do creditable work. The third sketch, by' Harry Watson's comedy company, and entitled "The Two Flats." and which is a jumble of nonsense, horse play and jokes and with not even a suggestion of love making In It, brings forth rapturous applause from the upper sections of the house and a valuable tip is given to vaudeville managers In this to the effect that love making can be cut out In vaudeville sketches. The best hit of the shbW this week Ig Clarence Vance, who has been well known for her successful singing of ragtime songs. But even so clever a performer as Miss.

Vance makes the mistake of beginning her act with an ordinary ballad. The difference between the slight applauee that greets her efforts as a balad singer and the volume of approval when she has switched into a colored race song is most marked and last night she had to give three songs of the latter character and then tell a couple of. stories and respond to two more encores' be fore the audience would let her go. JohnWir, Ransone Is seen In his laughable make up of D. B.

Hill and has considerable to say, with some wit, in regard to the political outlook. Forbes and Quinn are seen In a double act, including some clever buck dancing and trick harmonica playing, while Charles T. Aldrich gives his clever tramp juggling act and concludes with some laughable imitations of the Chinese magician, Chlng Ling Foo. Anna T. Berger concludes the bill with some difficult cornet solos.

Next week, vaude vllle, including John C. Rice and Sally Cohen, George Fuller Golden and Bert Coote Co. The Star. Miner and Van's Bohemian Burlesquers are at the Star this week. The fact that Billy B.

Van is also there is enough in itself to stamp the show as away above the ordinary. He Is a whole show In himself and In fact the whole show centers on him. Not but what he has first class support and plenty of it. The cast of "A Case of Con" Is one of the largest which has been seen at' the. Star this season, and the sketch Is one of the funniest.

While the burlesque Is not a new one it is so thoroughly revamped that those who have seen it before would never recognize it in its new guise. Fred Wyckoff opened the olio and was well received. The three sisters Laud gave their songs ana acrobatic dance very acceptably. Johnson and Hilliard's "From Fifth Avenue to the Bowery" was received with the usual amount of applause, and both members of the team deserved recognition. The three musical Gardlners were above the average in their line and the Casino Comedy Four also pleased.

The old comedy, "Scrambled Eggs," ended the performance. It contained several new features beside Billy Van. Next week, Weber's Dainty Duchess Company. The Novelty. Fulgora's Stars is the name of the vaude ville organization appearing at the Novelty Theater this week.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Sidman in their pretty little rural sketch, "Boer Home," are easily the strongest card in the bill, Mr. Sidman's portrayal of the upstate farmer being an excellent one.

The four Huntings in acrobatics ana song ana dance are next in the order of merit. The musical Kleists do their turn behind a row of footlights, relying upon black art to make the act go the stronger. The seven Davenports in a sketch. "The Terrible Copper," seemed to amuse the audience with a lot of horseplay. Professor Blake has a number of educated dogs and monkeys that do the otereotvDed tricks.

James ana Lucy Alli son sing poorly but dance well; Hayman and Hayman are Hebrew delineators or illustrated songs; Zeb and Zarrow do an entertaining bicycle act and Mons. Cheverell amuses with trick violin playing. Tne Dig audience of last night will probably be duplicated the remainder, of the week. Next week the Russell Brothers are top liners. Brooklyn Music Hall.

Another first class bill is given this week at the Brooklyn Music Hall, and unless signs fail another week of exceptionally large houses will reward the management. Certainly the house last evening justified the use of the "Standing room only" sign, and the audience appeared to be hugely delighted with the entertainment given. Satsuma, the Japanese juggler, who opened the performance, was equally clever with feet and hands, and his work was original in a great many respects. Bessie Lamb, was recognized as a clever singer of coon songs and the Crane brothers, who were billed as the Original Mudtown Rubes," scored a distinct hit with a sketch in which the subject of the Ice trust was treated in a clever manner. Equaliy emphatic was the hit made by the Mimic Four, whose new act evoKea a continuous roar of applause from start to finish.

Joe Flynn, with up to date parodies, was as well received as ever, arJQ Ward and Curran contributed to the fun of the evening with their sketch of the singer and the old maid. Hall and Staley. "the twentieth century burglars;" had a good act, and tho McMahons, who closed the bill, had an entertaining act, which elicited much applause. Al Reeves' Music Hall. The Gay Butterflies, a burlesque organization of.

merit, held the boards at Al Reeves' Music Hall last night and delighted a large audience, almost the largest of the season. This is the third year of this company and it improves with each season. The costumes were new and the membero of the company were young and interesting. The head liners in the olio were Weston and Stapleton, who gave an excellent comedy sketch with bright new business and lines In It. Amy Nelson, the next In importance, proved to be a decided attraction, her singing and acting being' of a high order.

Barth and Fleming, Leslie and Curdy, the Met weef dancers from Russia, originally, and others make up the olio, while the perform More of the Precious Metal Stored in U. S.

Con dition Physically. 4 Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. 1 Washington, September 25 The vaults of the United States treasury contain more gold at the present time than the government has possessed at any time In the past. The enormous sum of $437,221,191 Is now stored in the treasure cellars of Uncle Sam, being con siderably more than was on hand at the end ot the last fiscal year, at which time the water mark was reached in matter Of cold "The closing of the treasury hooks last Bam Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts to tne correspondent to day, "showed, that the stream of gold pouring into the government's Scoffers Is steadily, growing in volume, total supply on hand yeaterday being larger at, any period in the past.

is i.only one nation In the world that has more gold than the United States, and 'that is France. She has a few millions of dollars more than is now stored in our vaults, but this is the result of an abnormal in the country's finances. In a short time, unless some unforeseen development should occur In the financial world, we will pass France In thie regard and occupy first position among the nations of the earth. The recent disturbances in Asia and the appearance of war clouds in Europe have had an unsettling effect on the finances of some of the richest countries of theola world. Nothing has happened, however, to Interfere with the accumulation of riches by the United States.

In the face of the Increasing bill of expenses the treasure is piling up. In spite of this great gathering of money in the treasury vaults, there is nothing approaching a scarcity of gold In circulation. In fact, If anything, there Is a steady increase In the amount of gold in circulation. The govern irient'ls not hoarding Its gold In any sen'se of the word, but is putting 'it out' as fast' as practicable, making nearly all Its payments in coin of this metal. Silver' is only Issued when called for, as there Is a big demand for small notes, which are redeemable In silver, this necessitates the issuance of a large amount of money in the shape of white metal certlncates.

The general condition of the government's finances is very 'satisfactory. The approaching report of this office will show a gain in the volume circulation In about the same' ratio as the Increase in the amount of gold holdings." State' Department officials have been fre quently annoyed recently by reason of the wrong interpretation Misconstruction of Chinese' Correspondence. put upon various phases of. the Chlaese entanglement as. represented In the official' corre3Dondence.

On a number' of occasions the popular construction of notes passing between the powers has been entirely wrong, and the officials have found themselves represented as Intending to pursue a policy directly opposite to the one laid down by themselves. "When practicable theBe errors are corrected By the autnonues nere. who realize that the public Is dependent upon the press reports for Its information of what Is betas: done. For this reason Dr. Hill, Assistant Secretary Adee and other State, De partment officials, are usually.

glad toexpiain the purport of 'diplomatic notes that lng exchanged by the powers, and also to make clear points that are In dispute. Mr. Adee pointed out to day that the Russian government was recently put in the position of advocating a policy in China diametrically, at variance to. the one officially proposed by me mt. it an came aouuc iuiuusu hu ror In the published text of the note issued by Russia giving her policy In China.

ThdS phrases in that note, was as follows: "The. establishment with the united powers of a legal central government at Peking, able alone to preserve order and tranquillity In the country." This gave the reader the impression that Russia proposed the erection of a government In China by the powers, which was to "preserve order and tranquillity" without reerard to the Imperial authorities. Another glaring error occurred In the text as published by papers In this country, ana as soon as omciai copies of the note were received at the State Department steps were taken to remedy the errors. A correct copy of the same was given to the press associations, with a statement that It was the only accurate copy that had been given to the American newspapers. This showed that what Russia said In regard to a central government at Peking was as follows: "The restoration at tnrougn common efforts, of the legally Instituted central Government which would be competent to Insure by Itself order and tranquillity In tho country." Another error In the published re Dort said: "The second task, namely, assist ing In the establishing of a legal central gov ernment wnicn snail co operate in me eBtahllshment of order and regular relations with the powers, appears at present difficult.

etc." The official text said thlB: "Tne second object, namely, that of extending assistance to the legal government of China for the restoration of order and regular relations with the powers, seems to be difficult, etc." On 'account of the vast difference In the two purposes ascribed to Russia and the import ance of the same, Mr. Adee thought that, the corrected version would be widely printed. It seems, however, that the presB associations, one of them at failed to distribute the official text, merely remarking that the new note affirmed in every detail the dispatch previously printed. The "War Department is finding much difficulty In furnishing enough telegraph operators to take care of current work In the Heavy Strain on Philippines. The sig signal Corps nal corps is charged w.lth the control of Men in Manila, the vast telegraphic system throughout the islands and the duty of furnishing men to keep the lines in condition and to transmit the daily business Is proving a heavy strain on the authorities.

Colonel Allen, thet chief signal officer In the Philippines, has notified the War Department that he will require fifteen new operators a month to take the place of those who break down. This does not Include any Increase In the service, but is simply to keep trie regular corps complete. A monthly loss of fifteen out of a force of 400 represents a tremendous' percentage and shows In a startling way the heavy work this corps is performing in the Philippines. Some of these men are killed, others are captured and the balance break down through over exertion. In order to supply the men required the training schools at Fort Myer and at San Francisco are kept busy.

So great is the demand for these men that the signal corps Is now enlisting only qualified telegraph operators. Those who are capable of sending and receiving messages are sent at once to Manila and those who require more training are kept at worlit until they are proficient, Twelve operators will go on the Burnsldei which leaves New York In a day. or so, and twenty Bailed yesterday from San Francisco. The opportunities for advancement In this service are exceptional. During the past three months twelve volunteer commissions were given to.

men who entered the signal corps as privates, and who showed special aptitude and ability. General Greely believes in rewarding merit, and wherever possible rec ommends the promotion of deserving young men. An urgent appeal has come from Alaska for reading material for the United States troops who are to be stationed there during the coming winter. Men in Alaska Ask for. Beading Matter.

Unless the public re sponds to this. request the troopers and signal corps men In Alaska will spend a weary. 'and' long winter.

UNKIND TO PATTERSONS 3 Views of a Contemporary on the Eagle's Presentation of His Reversible Financial Views. It seems, us that the Brooklyn Eagje la rather unkirid' lChartes 'J.

'TattWson, one oft trie leading thiflColdl Democrats of County. w.ha, turned to tne. fold of Bryanism. lt has jgone out of its way and used up its valuable space by printing In' the same column" two'pifctures of Mr. Patterson, one as a Bryanite jsaying that there Is no danger of cheap" money' in case Mr.

Bryan should be elected, the other as a. money lender nominating, in the, the payment of his debt and interest in stan dard, gold coin of the present weignt ana fineness. It may be conceded that the Eagle has a clear case of inconsistency to ex'pbse. It seems that a few days ago Mr. Patterson.

In an interview, made the remarkable statement that the New York State Democratic organization, is plainly for the gold standard and declared: "It power be given to the the silver question will be dead, because. It, wiU appear that the party whole does not favor the free coinage of silver. Tho that a Democratic secretary of the treasury could, under existing laws, put tho country on a silver basis by paying the government obligations in silver is plainly unsound. Under the financial billpassed last winter the credit of the government is pledged to maintain the silver dollars upon a parity with eold. The United States guarantee 'that every, silver government shall be main'tainea at equal' value with' each gold Payment 'in sil rer thus guaranteed is practically payment in gold." Three davs before that this same Mr.

Pat terson, who says that silver payments practically gold payments, showed that hej nevertheless preferred the gold payments to their practical equivalent Dy navjng. mortgages, aggregating $12,000, recorded'. which call lor goia payments, raereiore it. appears that Mr. Patterson, while wining to'; risk other people's pocketbooks on the chance that Mr.

Bryan's dollars will. remain aa aoocl! as gold, prefers, to. Insure himself against.thg.; political phange of advocato' aMirMw gold clause mortgage uiwiousttaesa A form which he mighvftently In a list of several 'KHHilrea mortgages re corded along with his only four other, lend era are found who demand gold, the aver age Brooklyn mortgagor being perhaps lull ed to carelessness by Mr. Patterson's as surances which he himself apparently not believe. As we say.

Mr. Patterson seems to be victed of inconsistency, we should hesitate rn. 'ttilnfe. insincerity. Nevertheless, we Vfear.

the Eagle Is a little to hard on himwnen it flhibits his Dlieht to the extent of a column with 'iwo pictures which look just alike. If It adopts that system it will have to duplicate its pictures of the whole Bryan contingent. Mr. Patterson is no worse than the rest, and does not deserve invidious distinction. Take his noble leader and, master of the state organization, Mr.

Croker, for instance. Mr. Patterson says that the organization is against' free silver. Nevertheless it Is on record as favoring it. Itvhas indorsed the Chicago platform more once, and then indorsed the Kansas City, platform, and has supported Mr.

Bryart In his insistence that free silver doctrines must not be abandoned cr even concealed. If Mr. Patterson is right the whole organization is a fraud, and he only follows his leaders In; being inconsistent. Mr. Croker and the.

Van i Wyck outfit went into tho Ice Trust; and' got all they could out ot the poor of York by doubling the price of ice last, siim mer, but after fixing ip for their; twa pockets, just as Mr. Patterson does, i turned around and denounced the Ice Trust; as gravely as Mr. Patterson announces that he does not fear free silver being himself well fortified against it. Mr. Stanchfleld can also do his little tjirn.

A few months ago he declared that he was enough of a Republican to stand by ad ministration in holding the Philippines. he is: running on an ahtl imperialist plat form, floundering about rnbst ridiculously trying to lose or explain away that speech body has pictured the horrors of free silver In more extreme phrase than Mr. Carl Schurz and Mr. Edward M. Shepard, both of Avhoni I never do anything by halves, but they are setting Mr.

Patterson an example which con vlnces his political it does not touch his private jiidg ment. Mr. Bryan. himself; favored the treaty making the Philippines United" States terrl tdry, and now he abuses President McICin ley for doing his constitutional of de fending the sovereignty of the United States where Mr. Bryan said it should be extended.

It doesn't do to hold Bryanites to too close an account In the matter of consistency. The established doctrine of the Democracy of this state, as announced by Mr. Croker in discussion of his ice stock, is that you cannot ex pect a man's political principles and his tnisi ness conduct to agree. We don't see. why' Mr.

Patterson, in spite of his' Bryanite poll tics, is not entitled like his associates to "work for his own pocket all the time'andl draw his Interest in gold. Mr. Bryan can put gold to a premium Mr: Patterson will be all the better oft. New York Tribune. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

Intcrmeni: at Holy Cross Cemetorv. opment or the frequently recurring crises, will be delighted with "Woman and Wine," which opened the season at this theater last night. The play is not, as one would suspect from the name and It Is a name that would justify suspicion the play is not a vaudeville show, nor Is it made the setting for a march of amazons to please the men who occupy the front view of chairs.

It is called "Woman and Wine" because it had to have a name and because this one sounded alluring. It might "as well have been called almost anything else. It belongs to the same school of drama tbat Is distinguished by "The Sporting Duchess," "White Heather" and "The Great Ruby," as it is a series of striking situations strung on the thread of a plot to give to them a semblance of continuity. The plot develops quickly and without any unnecessary waste of words, almost as baldly as if a man should come before the curtain and announce that the play was to be about the ruin of a young man by an adventuress, aided by male confederates, and that the work was to begin by destroying his confidence in his sweetheart. The directness is partly due to the fact.

that it was originally prepared for an English audience by its authors, Arthur Shirley and Benjamin Landeck, and partly because there is so much in it that if everything were not made clear as the action progressed the spectators would fall to comprehend the situations. It is the kind of a piece which makes the gallery gods rise in their places and shout their approval at the triumph of virtue and hiss at the temporary success of vice. The: raw material 'which has been wrought Into the fabric includes the race course at Long champs and a tallyho coach driven on the stage loaded with people, the Cafe d'Afrlque in Paris, with a roistering company of bo hemians; a Japanese ball, with women in short dresses and one or. two in tights; the Paris flower market, with a duel between two women in evening'' cfbfttrellWfceside a deformed watchman called Caliban, who Is used as a sort of spirit to help along the plot when the' complications seem to be get ting at a "stage where they need some further' entangling. The company which William A.

Brady has gathered together to act the piece has been rehearsed up to the high key of the text which they have to read. Hardly any one makes an entrance or an exit walking. They all run, and they all speak loudly, so that people afflicted with deafness will have no difficulty in hearing what is said. Miss Sylvia Lynden plays the part of Marcel Riga dout, the adventuress, who leads Richard Seymour astray, and who is finally killed ia the duel. looks.

her manner, hemroice her laugh are what they should be. She Is the embodiment of cold, calculating seinsn. ness without the slightest redeeming' tender ness. To fit her place in the piece she has to be like this. But if she would talK consis tentl.v.

either in straightforward English or in the broken English of a Frenchwoman. she wouia oe more pleasing, one seems iu be uncertain which she should use. But this is a detail which does not count for much when the general effect of the performance is considered. Miss Sears, as the woman of the Latin quaTter, with whom she fought the duel, was equally cold and hard, but she had passions which attached themselves to people and would seek Tevenge when her lover was taken from her. She was not an attractive personality, but she may have been reasonably true to the typo.

Miss Black, the sweetheart of the misled youth, was pathetically loyal to her love and had the sympathy of the audience, and Miss James, the comedy widow, who was not a widow, but the wife of the son of an old man who wanted to marry her, was one of the cheerful spots in an otherwise rather gloomy piay. Howard Kyle carried himself well In a trying part. He had to play the ml3led young rain who abandons the girl he loves end squanders his money on an adventuress, only to be betrayed by her and to be tried for murder. He fitted himself Into his surroundings with considerable skill, and received a liberal share of the applause. The Caliban of Julian Barton was successfully repulsive, as it was intended to be.

Hudson Liston and Daniel Halifax were respectively the father who wanted to marry the. widow and the son who had married her, and with the assistance of the widow herself made the most of their opportunities for dispelling the atmosphere of gloom. The plede will be continued during the week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday, and it will be followed by an engagement of the Bostonlans, who will sing three operas. Grand Opera House. One of the earliest of the Hoyt farces, "A Hole in the Ground," which in railroad parlance means a washout, was snappily revived at the Grand Opera House last night.

Charles Cowles appeared in his original role or the Stranger and he had the co operation of some capable fun makers. For pure nonsense of the Hoyt type the second act is undoubtedly the best of the three, and a large audience hugely enjoyed the anguish of the stranger the polished manners of the station agent and the unexpected antics of the tramp. The farce had a great deal of the vim, without which a Hoyt play is hopelessly lost. Charles Cowles has lost none of his skill in the character of the Stranger. As the old countryman waiting for his train he was invariably funny, but never strained or unnatural, and that Is a good deal to say of comedians interpreting Hoyt.

The third act. as usual, was given over largely to specialties, musical and otherwise. There were some good parodies and several well rendered songs by a male quartet. Next week, "The Girl From Maxim's." The Bijou. "The Angel ot the Alley" was produced at the Bijou last night and it is just the kind of a production to Insure large audiences at this house.

It has the typical villain, who delights In being hissed; a beautiful girl, whom he uses as his dupe; some specialties that fit nicely into the plot and scenery that shows the lower stratum of New York; an underground den and a section of Sing Sing that Includes murderers' row and the execution chamber. This latter was so realistic that a woman in the gallery fainted at the sight of the condemned murderer in the electric chair This scone was in reality very shocking and though It lasted for only a moment it was a great relief to the audience when the Governor's reprieve arrived. The finale brings justice to the villain and peace and happiness to his suffering victim to the great delight of the gallery. Next Week, "Tho Gunner's Mate." The Gayety. The O'Shaughnessey laundry moved from the Grand Opera House to the Gayety yesterday, and that part of the town that had no opportunity to witness Mr.

Monroe's vigorous wrestling matches with washtubs and wealth last week was evidently on hand. This theater, which has a capacity of 1.7C0, was filled to overflowing with an audience that gave the company an enthusiastic greeting. The ups and downs of the O'Shaughnessey family, whether they be the rapid mo there has Just received a letter from one of the Alaskan posts, which says, "For God's sake send us some reading matter." The Army has just established a number of new posts In that country along the' route of the new telegraph line. There are about twenty of these posts, each of which will accommo date a number of soldiers and. telegraph oper.

the coming season. Sixteen hundred miles of territory are covered by this line, which is expected to prove of great value to the government, as well as to those who are compelled to remain there dur ing the winter. There is no tuna in tne Army from which books, periodicals and other reading material can be purchased for use of the men at Alaska posts, so tnis appeal Is made to the public. Immigration to the United States get ting back, to the normal state, there' haying been quite a de elded dropping oft In Immigration the past two months in Getting Back to the number of new ar rivals as compared Normal State, with the figures of May, June and July, Even at that the records of July and August, of this year are away ahead of those for the same 'months in 1898 and The immigration in July, 1898, was in July, 1899, It was 17,114, and in July of this year it was 38,845. The total for August, 1898, was for August.

1899, It was and for August of this year It was 33,424. Commissioner General Powderly says that the danger to the labor of the Pacific coast resulting from a great influx of cheap Japs is past, as there has been a pronounced decrease in the immigration from Mtkadolarid. The alarm that was also felt becausyof "the large number Roumanian Jews, were, here a few months was also "apparently not well founded, for the Immigration of this class of Jews has dropped back to normal figures. Mr. Powderly says that there Is a surprising uniformity In the immigration of various nationalities from year to year, there being very few important changes in the annual percentage of new inhabitants contributed by foreign countries.

Every one who saw. Senator Tnoma's Piatt 'in' WaBhingtori: yesterday remarked' he was looking Senator very much better than Piatt ne w6n Congress adjourned. To his Unruffled. friends the Senator said that he was In better physical condition than he had been for a long time, and that he expected to continue business at the old stand for some time yet. He came to Washington to look after some departmental business.

During the first session of the Fifty sixth Congress Senator Piatt was probably tnV buslest man in the His correspondence has always been very large, but last year It "was bigger than usual. In addition to looking after this, he personally attended to all his departmental matters and his committee work. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that when Congress adjourned he looked as though he was on the verge of physical collapse. His summer work and play have, however, agreed witn mm, and he certainly looks in tiptop condition at present tlm.e. Piatt's recovery from her dangerous'.

Illness of last winter' has undoubtedly also had a great deal to do with Senator Piatt's improvement, for he worried very much about Mrs. Piatt last winter. The Senator was guarded in his political talk, but he asserted most positively that ex Congressman Odell would certainly be the next Governor of the Empire State and that in his judgment New York was safe for McKlnley and Roosevelt. When it came to, a question of majorities, however. Senator declined' to make any A.

Sea Cliff, September 24, 190fc Both "Madame Butterfly." and "Naughty Anthony" Are Well Received at the Montauk. GOOD BILL AT THE COLUMBIA. Larger3rooklyn Theaters Open to Full Houses Popular Price Places of Amusement "Well The new season at the Montauk opened last night with a complete clean sweep.

The house has' not new manager, but the manager of last season has by grace of clergy a new. name and1 the programme reads: "Isabel Slnn Hecht announces that David Belasco presents for the first time in this city," etc. That formula was almost the only familiar thing on the programme. There was a new orchestra leader, August Eisner, and an enlarged orchestra of fourteen pieces. There was a beautiful 'new curtain of crimson plush heavily! embroidered and the orchestra is no longer In.

danger. of: having Ben Hrr and the disabled horses in the chariot ruce tumble down upon heads. There was a new carpet and the feminine note of management was evident in the perfect freshness of all the paint and decorations. Evidently the Montauk is in for an era of good housekeeping which even the handsomest houses In masculine1 hands' often miss. Both of 0)avfd plays acted last night were hew.

hare, but fn the composition of his programme Mr. Belasco has reverted to the custom of our grandfathers who combined tragedy and farce. He has, however, reversed the traditional proportions and follows a one act tragedy with a three act farce, so that the dominating tone of the entertainment is comic and responds to the taste of the theater goers of the time wno cry out amused. The: farce of a very old ipattern, but the tragedy the newest of the new, being a Japanese play "Madame Butterfly," dramatized by Mr. Belasco from John Luther Long's story of the same name.

The play has been described in these columns, but one cannot resist1 the temptation to pay tribute a second time to its heartbreaking pathos and to the exquisite art with which Its slightest incidents were made to contribute to the cumulative effect. The story is" the old, old story of a woman who thinks she is married and who waits with, the patience, of a great love for the man who finally comes back with a legal wife. The novelty lies in the fact that the waiting wife is a Japanese geisha girl, Cho Cho San, and the recreant husband is an American naval lieutenant. For the sake of her American husband Cho Cho San deserts her old life, lives in the little house where the lieutenant places her, makes all her attendants speak the United States language and teaches her baTay wave the American flag, as hib father had taught her to wave it, "like hell." The waiting culminates on the night after the lieutenant's ship returns to the harbor, when Cho Cho San holds her baby in her arms all night at the window. Several people have tried to make her understand tbo situation, but she scorns their insinuations of betrayal and after this all night vigil she learns the truth by being confronted with the American wife of the man whom she believes her husband.

Much of the beauty of the piece is' due to the completeness with the Japanese; atmosphere is caught and preserved. The play is preceded by several views of the harbor of Yokohama, Including snow capped Fuji Yama in the moonlight, which set the key for the story. The effect is Increased by the incidental use of Japanese music in the pentatonic scale like the Chinese, but without the barbaric crashing discords which make the Chinese music hideous. The small details of Japanese custom are also 'preserved' and "a story which is old in all the Western tongues Is made to seem fresh and new and additionally poignant In this Eastern guise. The performance shows how much American actors can do with the Japanese costumes and customs.

The central figure is, of course, the loyal Madame Butterfly. The part was played by Valerie Bergere with a fine and moving simplicity in the earlier portions. She was not quite strong: enough for. the tragic climax after the deserted mother had resolved upon suicide, but by that time the play has acquired a momentum enough to carry itself. Helena Phillips, who played Suzuki, the maid, caught the tragic atmosphere more fully than Miss Bergere did, and added materially to the impression which the play made.

The other parts were small and easy. The jump from "Madame Butterfly" to "Naughty Anthony," the three act farce, served to show the versatility and thorough stage craft of Mr. Belasco in a stronger light than they had been exhibited and furnished relief to an audience whose emotions had been raised to a high pitch by the Japanese piny. In "Naughty Anthony" Mr. Belasco invades Hoyfs field and he equals that clever farceur on his own ground.

There are no songs and dances, but the motive is the later Hoyt motive that virtue consists in not being found out, while the frolic and the wit are as indigenous to America as any of the New Hampshire The story Is of a professor of moral culture who Is an arrant old humbug and a hosiery saleswoman and model who isn't. The complications consist in innocent people being suspected of the wrongdoing of this precious but clever pair and the fun Is fast and furious. The piece serves for 'he return to the stage of Charles Evans as the professor and its popularity will be in large part due to the remarkable skill with wlilch ho extracts fun from absurd situation while retaining the genteel manner nf light comedy. The part is not a great one. but Mr Evans' acting of it is worth going a long way to see: Miss Bergere, too, is far more at home as the hosiery model than in Japanese tragedy.

She and Mr. Evans lifted tho Play to a far higher plane of comic effect than when it was done at the Herald Square Theater by Blanche Bates and Mr. Worthing, and its success was instantaneous and assured. This result was helped, too, by comic sketches of great vigor and breadth contributed by J. H.

Bradbury. Annie Wood, Barney Reynolds, Claude Gilllngwater, E. P. Wilkes, Kate Bruce, Daniel Mason and Daisy Grogan. Next week, Julia Marlowe will play Clyde Fitch's "Barbara Frietchle." Columbia Theater.
