Kline of tha Fourteenth was first mentioned for bis present position there has been moro or less speculation in the regiment concerning his successor as adjutant. A number of men have been suggestod for the place, but Colonel Mlohell hnA steadily' declared that he had made no selection. It now appears probable that the position will be tendered to ex Captain John Kutt, ten years ago the commandant of and a well known officer of the regiment. His brother, ex Captain Hassoil Nutt, of was recently ap pointed adjutant of the First battalion. Captain John Nutt, it is said, is well fitted for the adjutant's office.

There is a very good ohanoe that the Fourteenth will be allowed to shoot at Creedmoor on Saturday with the Thirteenth and the regiments of the First brigade. It was not to be expected that men could leave their work two days in the week, and as the Fourteenth had Inspection Wednesday, the members, most of them at least, could not go to Creedmoor on Saturday. Captain Dixon, I. B. has brought the matter to the attention ot Brigadier General Whitlock, general inspector of rifle practice, and there is a vary good chanee that the latter may allow the Fourteenth to shoot again.

There will be no qualifying of sharpshooters next Saturday. The long range targets will be set apart for those who wish to qualify as experts. The members of the Twenty third regiment have evfery reason to be satisfied with the work of tholr command this year, only about 50 men in the regiment failing to qualify. Last year there were 50 sharpshooters and 595 marksmen in the regiment. This year five companies have 44 sharpshooters and the marksmen number about 775.

Company of the Twenty third has a membership for inspection of 100. Corporal F. A. Walford of has been made a sergeant. Commissary Sergeant W.

C. Riefenstahl of the Fourteenth has been appointed regimental sergeant major. He was formerly first sergeant of and was appointed to the non commissioned, staff six months ago. Private W. F.

Bartow of was last night appointed a corporal. Edward Geary and John Dunpby enlisted is H. This company will have a receptien tonight after drill. At Creedmoor last Saturday, Major Kline of the Fourteenth qualified as a sharpshooter, with a score of 23 22, 45, and Battalion Adjutant Foot by a score of 21 21, 42. The Fourteenth has eighteen sharpshooters this year against three last and one the year before.

Dr. J. L. Macomber was last night appointed assistant surgeon of the Fourteenth. THE STEEMVERTH LB AGUE BALL.

Herrmann's TTonrlers at the Park Theater. "Charily Ball" Kevlved at tho Columbia. "Mavournecn'' ot Grand Opera House "Mid night Alarm" ot Holmes' "Lost Sconf at the Lec Avenue Varieties. Recipe for "Dolmonico's at Take a French motive; dross it according to American tnste; to this add scenes from recent successful plws and serve with sauce of elana and epigram. That is the formula follovrod by Glen AIcDonouch.

author of Marie Janscn's now play hicu was presented for the first time in this city last cron Mr. McDonongh's own work is clever enough, but real admiration is duo to his audacity as a borrower. From the "Charity Ball" he takes that scene in which a reconciliation is offected between tvro lovers by the return of prosents. The same play is suggested by tho way in which a bay window is used by tho same young people. From a "Trip to Chinatown" ho abstracts tho restaurant scene with its complications caused by unexpected meetings and the nso of tho screen, which was originally found in the "School for Scandal." "Charlie's Aunt" contributes the idea of a feminine disguise for man aud the humorous situation of causing a man to make love to his disguised fellow.

From "Dr. Bill" some hint of tho consultation and from the "Masted Bail" the celebrated tipsy act scene are absorbed. Mr. McDonough's unconscious cerebration results in a clever, cloan and dashing farce. The motive, aside from the question of probability, has the merit of originality and humor.

A gay middle aged physician has grown to think that his wife is indifferent to him. because she never scolds nor protests when he goes out on a lark. To test her he carries his dissipation to extremes, but her equanimity is undisturbed. Finally, to definitely learn whether she loves him or not, ho resorts to heroic measures. He buys a photo srroph of Trixio Hazelmare, tho oueen of the vaudevilles, writes a sentimental sentence upon it and so plans that it reaches his wife's hands.

He causes his daughter's fiancee to leave a letter near his wife's diary which says that he is to dine with Trixie at Dolmonico's at 6 o'clock. He goes there, hoping his wifo will follow to assure herself of his infidelity, and, finding him alone, will show him. in reaction of feeling, that she really does love him. Unfortunately, Trixie Hazelmere happens to be in the private dining room which he has selected for a little She hears Captain Holland arguing with Dr. Clark and thus learns his little plot.

Mischievously sh decides to punish him for making free with her name and, pretending to he a little tipsy, makes desperate love to him. Just as Mrs. Clark arrives she pretends to faint, and the doctor, removing her wrap, finds her in tights with the merest suspicion of skirts and a rather spectacular bodice. Mrs. Clark, in an agony of jealousy, threatens divorce.

Thus the skein is snarled. In the last act the unwinding of the knot makes everybody happy. The company which presents this play is a good one for this sort of work. The fascinating Marie repeated hor triumphs of the casino days. As the queen of the vaudevilles she was in a part that suited hor thoroughly and which she sustained with the dash and abandon that are natural to her.

She sang two songs with more of the art, not of suggestion, but of significance, than half the French singers who are imported to do this very thing. One of these was the old favorite, "Bo Good." The other. "Oh, Mamma," is destined to a popularity which will finally end in the limbo of barrel'organs and gutter bands. May Merrick, as Mrs. Clark, dressed superbly and took her part with disnity and taste.

Hope Boss, the ingenue, was clever and' interesting and Bessie Lackey, as a parlor maid, was bright and pleasing. Dr. Clark was played by Frank Tannehill, with admirable spirit. Innatio Martinetti, as a waiter who pretends to bo a count and who, in escaping from officers for counterfeiting, assumes the dress of a sonbrette and is made love to by the detective, made one of tho hits of the evening. The Captain Holland of William Norris was manly and natural.

Charles Mason as the strong man and Fred. W. Peters as tho detective also did well. The theater was gayly decorated in honor of a large party from Pro Patria council No. 1,312, Boyal Arcanum, which was present.

Next week "Wang" will be seen. PARK THEATER. The magician Herrmann has a number of now things on his bill this week and the audience that went to see him last evening was not influenced to an appreciable extent by tho free political shows given elsewhere. Ho kept the house interested and ho made it laugh. Anion? his miscellaneous tricks was the conversion of a glass of water into a bunch of nigs of all nations, and these in turn are changed into one big American flag "After tho Ball," has no other reason for its name than tho appearance of Mrs.

Herrmann in a ball dress, but it has a reason for performance, as it is one of tho most puzzling of the many puzzling things he has done. A mirror stands in the middle of the stage. It is without curtains or obvious accessories. The audience sees under it and over it. Mrs.

Herrmann stands on a glass shelf before it. A screen is placed before her, but it does not cover all of tho mirror. When tho screen falls down she is gone aud the audience sees its own surprised features in tho glass. Equally difficult of explanation is Irs.Herrmann's disappearance from a swing. She vanishes in full career and tho seat of the swing falls to the stage in pieces.

The spirit cabinet has nothing especially now, but it is always interesting for the dexterity shown in its performance. It closes with a spooky dance of skeletons, discovered in total darkness by the phosphorescence that plays over their bones, while shields of light flit about the stage and hover over the heads of the audience. Another of the conjuror's accomplishments is a modification of hi3 "Chinese ntni gration" of last year. He calls it "The Escape From Sing Sing," and it was suggested by the elopement of Koohl and Pallister from stale prison last spring. There are two wooden cells on the stage, into one of which a convict is put.

Presently the convict appears at the back of the auditorium and proceeds down the aisle The cell is opened and the keeper is found thero. The convict is then put in the other ceil, which is suspended above the stage, and after a few moments he is found to be back in his original box. Herrmann is, indeed, the cleverest fellow of his kind. Next week "L'Enf ant Prodigue" will be pantomimed. COICKBIA THEATER.

"Tho Charity Ball" is one of the best things in the repertory of the Lyceum Theater company and it is fitting to revive it on its present visit. Tnrough its frequent presentation it has become quite familiar, but it was seen with interest again last evening and was played with nearly as muoh heartiness, feeling and grace as ever. Though it was written for this company it fits the company, and that is saying a good d9al. because the best successes have beeu those in which the company was obliged to fit itself to tho play. It tells a pretty story, with a touch of sentimental exaggeration that recalls Dickens, yet always of a refined and genial sort, and the emotion is wholesome.

The holiday flavor that pertains to it is likewise pleasant and the humor, to which alone there is a tang of weedy rahkness, is at least jocund and is used in judicious and popular balance to tho serious moments. The idea of tho lamp burning in tho clergyman's study all night for the lighting of souls and to the peace of good counsel is a charming conceit, and the scene in the firolu study, with the snow falling outside and the sounds of the bells and the organ is beautiful. Georgia Cayvan plays Ann Crugor with her customary tact and heart a picture of womanly excellences that stays with the spectator after the curtain has cone down. Herbert Kelcey still lacks spirituality, but his acting is frank and finished. His mustache is a doubtful addition to tho propriety of his makeup.

Mr. Le moyno. E. J. RadeliSe, Mr.

and Mm. Fritz Williams, Augustus Cook, Effio Shannon and tho others acted with their old timo spirit and had thoir old time effect with tho audience, while the comedy was prettilymountod aad overy needful thing was done to mako the occasion a pleasant one. The bill for the rest of the woek will bo as follows: To night, to morrow afternoon aud Saturday afternoon, "Charity to morrow night, "Old Heads and Young Thursday night, "The Friday night "Tho Saturday night, "Amoricans Abroad."

"The Lost Scout," which was presented at this housellast night, is. said to be founded on fact, and deals with life, good and bad, wild and woolly, in the West.

The story is of a niaa who Democrats and Republicans Are United in the Eastern District. Extraordinary Enthusiasm nt the Itcnvrnr Ha'l Mass Meeting Notwithstanding I he Storm the People Were More Numerous Than Could Get Into the Place of Assembly. Tho uptown sympathizers with tho Citizens' union movement evidently care 'littlo for bail weolhor or other discouraging circumstances whoa such a meeting is as that vvhi' took place in Ronwar hall on Willougliby avenue, near Broadway, last nlgltl. The hall, noun too large for such a purpose, was packo.l with pooplo to an extent that rendered attendance posltivolj uncomfortable te many. Soino worn turned away from tho doors.

Otliors pr ho.l thomselvos on tho bannistors and window sills of the lobby, where they exhausted tbomsolvi.v i in a regular at of enthusiasm at catching the first glimpse ot the Republican candidate for mayor, as he elbowed his way up tho staircase, accompanied by Arthur W. Gleason of tho Twenty third ward. Tliore wero wild howls of "Sehieron! Schioron!" and even the solitary policeman on guard in tho hall forgot himself for a momont. wavod his club about his hond and joined In the gonernl enthusiasm. MrfFredorio W.

Hinrichs was in tho middle of aepoech when Mr. Schivon entered tho hall, and voluntarily rosigaing his priviloge ho signified to Chairman Georgo W. Fisher thut he would only too. willingly yiold the right of way to the mayoralty candidate. Mr.

Schieren said: I feel encouraged to wltnoss in this hall a meotingwhloh I know signifies that stanch Dmoorats and stanch Republicans, at other times divided on partisnn linos and on iuos tious of state or national policy, nro nw united on ono common basis. Whnt do they want? Crlos of "Honest govornmont" and "Schieren:" Yos! but what does Schioren stand for? Yes! thank God! if elected I will stand for honest government. Every day ia my mail loiters come pouring in from every quartorof this oity, from merchants, from professional men and from laboring men and they tell me what Thoy say that tho writers want an honest municipal government aad aro growing woary of the political thioves who aro growing fat at the public expense. Citizens, you know vour duty. Havo you registered Allot you Yes? Well, has your noighbor done tho same? Who is your neighbor Schieren is? If so he'll look after himself and others and wants you to do likewise.

Now, what is your first duty niter registering? Crlos of "Voto for Sehieron!" Yos, my friends, and what then? "See tunt tho votes aro counted. "1 Ah! that's tho question. On election night don't stay around tho bulletin boards and cheer for Schieren, but stay right here and seo that every voto polled is duly and properly counted. I promise you that it olocted I will be the mayor of Brooklyn and not tho ropresontativo of any one man or clique of men. Gontlemen, I thank you heartily.

After a moment's intermission Mr. Sehieron mado a brief speech in German, going over pretty much tho same path as he traveled in his previous address. The meeting was oponed by an introductory address mado by Chairman Fisher, after a brass band, tho members of which sat huddled up in the corner of tho room, had played "Aftor tho Bali," ia breakneck timo. Mr. Fisher introduced Charles F.

Adams, who bogan bis speech by commending the principles embodied in the movemont from which sprung tho Citizens' union. Continuing, he said: It augurs well for our success when such splendid specimens of wholesome Democracy, as my friends, Hinrichs and Shepard. are willing to evidence tho reality ana practicability of tlieir independence by coming forward and meeting you half way, when you nominate a man like Schioren. This independent movement is no Idle dream. Wo can see its tangible realieation if we go back a page or two in our municipal history to tho campaign that eleoted Seth Low, a campaign, by tho way, in which I went stumping along with my friend, David A.

Boody. It is no droam to expect that good men shall stand for good government, but it is a dream to that a machine will run In tho samo track. Why, things havo reached such a pass in Brooklyn that men who attond meetings in their own club go thoro with thoir lives and thoir hats in their hands, aB our friond 3Ir. flinrifhs did. Thoy stand in danger of having tho chairman of thoir own choosing forcibly deposed, while young men of the MeGarry." stamp endeavor to tako his place.

Wo enter heartily into this municipal struggle, honestly believing that our success insures us a respectable government, beoanse ouco again tho roal rank ami lllo of a party has managed to control its own convention. Wo had a candidate of our own, whom we indorsed at a eroat niass meating hold in tho Academy of Music, but whon the Republican convention nominated Mr. Schieren, William J. Gaynor was the lirst to say: "Gentlemen, in this fight wo must stand together for good government." Mr. Gaynor himsulf is on the samo ticket with Mr.

Sehieron, and it you placu him on tho beneh of the supremo court you placo the ermine on the shoulders of an uneorrupt and incorruptible man'. We oppose now. not Democrats, but men masquerading under that name, who stand for all that is morcenary iu politics aud not for anything that Is good. Georgo F. Elliott's speech was vigorous.

He said it was hit first exporienoe as speaker on a platrorm occupied by Democrats. "When on the stump last year," Mr. ElUoitt wont on. "I used to bo proud to say that I never voted for a Democrat. Had I known that tho Democratic party coutainod such a man as Shepard or men ot such distinguished abilities as Mr.

Hinrichs, who, by the grace of God and not by the grace of tho Democratic party, is here to address you to night, I might have boon more cautious" in recalling the past, 'i'hoso men say to tho gang of thieves masquerading as Democrats: 'If you will thieve we will have none of you." Tho Re publicans havo shown tho way to independence rhen we rose and turned out of office those members of our own party who had become venal and corrupt. This city needs a new.gov erntuent and needs it badlv. Wo are not attack ing David A. Boody, but wo aro assailing anil intena to assail the mayor of Brooklyn his official capacity." After criticising Mr. Boody for not oxereising his privilego to sit with tho board of supervisors and thereby oxcrt his influence to prevent fraud and lobborv, Mr.

Elliott continued: "Brooklyn is a lovely city, tho loveliest I ever from one end of tho land to the other, lovely not by reason of tho thieves that live in It. but In spite of them. They say you aro smirching tho fair fame of the city. Have wo smirched it? Have wo increased the municipal debt or ttood charged with indictable offonsas? Arc wo responsible because New York bauKS have declared that it will bo unwiso to buy Brooklyn bonds unless tho present municipal government is overturned. To sum the matter up: Wo are pestored by a gang of thieves who havo just wit enough to keop on tho outside of a prison door." Mr.

Hinrichs sueceodod Mr. Elliott on tho platform. Ho was reeoivod with moro than ordinary enthusiasm, and spoke for ten mluutes or more until interrupted by Mr. Schioren's arrival. He resumed his address after tho mayoralty candidate had spoken and talked about ton minutes more.

Ha said: "Even our opponents in this battle give us credit lorsincurity of purpose. Even the men who stand around in groups on tho city hall steps and say to ono another What's Hinrichs up to now I never could understand that realize just what wo mean. Why, some of the machlno loaders whom. I hnve mot this afternoon shook my hand and shook it warmly at that. Even those men, or many of them at least, are honest men, the moment they work thoir necks clear of the machine collar.

Upon the mayor of our city extraordinary powers have bean conferred by legislative charter. Our charter provides that ho alono liall bo held responsible for the management of tho various municipal departments, because in him alono lies the appointing power which gives a head to each of theso departments. llo is virtually in control of the police, firo, health and other departments, so that tho sins ot those nominally acting under hia direction and liable to remvval at his own will, are visited upon him. When Scth Low was mayor I knew something about tho board of education. I know something about it now.

1 know that politics has oefii freely imported inlo its work and impaired its Influence. I know that teachers aro appointod beoauso of the pull which thoy or thoir families possess with some politician. Mr. Sehieron has a mlnu of his own: ho will listen to no dictation from anyone. He will make no appointments to please anyone.

Ho has r. mind of his own. Wo can't tell what Mr. Boouy's mind i3, but wo know that he failod to rise in his olllcial position and condemn some ot the frauds lately perpotratod on the people of tho county and which the untiring energy ot William Gaynor haa brought to tho surface. Perhaps theso alleged offenses against clean government aro trivial.

So ranch so, in faot, that becauso of inieiui'ni mayor had signou unttomtzoa bun I and after the county had bomi chanted m.jro than llvo times much for a grind I Maud as the work was palpably worth. lli wero trials of indicted 'J'hev coaduetad by Mr. KMgway.

That does not 1 show that wn spend more upon our actual need I than they do, but it shows that there is more I'eins stolen hero than there. We, Independents, will stand by Mr. Schieren till tho i "nil of the light, and we'll give him from lfi.OOQ 10 zd.uuii good Democratic votes among tho rest. Mr.

Edward M. Shepard followod Mr. Hinrichs on the bill. Mr. Shepard began by recalling his experience two ago, while speaking from tho platform on behalf of David A.

Boody, then eandidato for mayor. Present conduct is sometimes intcrproti.d as a sign that tho past has boon repented of. "I was owe associated with Mr. Boody." continued Mr. Shepard, "In tho Brooklyn Dcmocrntio club, one of tho organizations ttiat lately Indorsed tho candidacy of his presout opponent, and I remember when ho came out manfully ana conducted an Independent Democrat canvass in a certain congressional district.

Why did tho Brooklyn Democratic club unanimously indorse Mr. Schieren and why did tho Young Men's Democratic club do tho same by a vote of it to IV Because the government of Mayor Boody has boon surrendered to fraud aad abuse of every description." An trustee of an ostato 1 hold a pioco of property in my possession. It is situated at Bowery, Xew York, and iB worth, judging from tho rentals, about .470.000. Tho rentals now aggregate yearly For 1S02 the taxes paiu by on the property amounted to ilUD.nO. I am interested In a biock of Brooklyn property.

Tho burden falls on all aliko.

on tho landlord and on his tenant. Personally wo would not grumble at such a tax rate. if we roeeivod any return for tho assessment, but whilo we aro suffering a fow fortunate ones aro growing rich. Alter touching on Columbian matters Mr. Shepard referred to tho fire department.

The report presented by Mr. Orr and his associates on tho commission of investigation dsalt very seriously with errors in this branch of the municipal administration and in kindly, though not particularly minced, terms, point od out tho laxness which tho Uro commissioner was guilty of. Instead ot acting on that report aud mending the weak places in the department Mayor Boody pigeonholed It, and thoro it lies to day unnotiood in the desk. Mr. Boody's capital offenso and the one that has alienated niaety nirio out of every hundrod from him is that he exercises no will of his own.

Until I gat a fair and squnro unswor from him I shall ropoat those questions, which I llrst mado public at the rink meeting last woek. Mr. Boody, will you tell us what appointment, high or low. havo you mado without first gaining the permission of Hugh McLaughlin? To what important ofHcial act havo you affixed your signature without lirst being assured that it va agroeable to Hugh McLaughlin? Whon you announced, after the nomination of Mr. Schieren for mayor, that tho prize fight nt Coney Island would hot tako place, was not your idea somewhat similar to that of tho Now York politician who sometimes found it convenient to "pander to the bettor clement," and buforo making the announcement that tho Corbett Mitohell match was off for good, did you not llrst ascertain how Mr.

McLaughlin felt about the subject Mr. Shepard closed his addrees with an eloquent plan lor indenondoncoand illustrated what he meant by reviewing the career of Samuel J. Tilden. Arthur V. Gleason made one ot nia characteristic spaechoa, hall" fun and hnlf fire, and tho crowd started for home about 10:30, cheering as they went for Schieren.
