On Wednesday and Thursday evenings "Old Lavender" will be presented and the week will be olosed with "Cordelia's Aspirations." GRAND OPERA HOUSE. "Tho Prodigal Daughter" returned to tho Grand Opera house last night for a week's run, with its display of red coated English riders, its horso race and its well told story of true love rewarded and villainy opportunely foiled. The audlenco was a large ono, and, from the applause givon to the jockeys and the horses, had a liberal sprinkling of the element that delights In the races. The play has been improved by the addition of some scenery, and the actors, including the equine contingent, performed their parts satisfactory; but the long waits between the acts tried the patience of the audience, which THERE WERE ELEVEN SPEAKERS, And They Helped Uptown Bepubli.ca.ns to RatiKy tlc Ticltct.

Tvo have ostabliithed agencies for the sale oftheEaaLV some of the principal business poiiits in New York 'Ivltv as DATS AT WECHSLER 3IC XCLTY'S. A turtle Variety ot Ulead (rear for the Fall Scilaon. Theso cool, crisp days make tho necessity of a new fall chapeau more apparent than during the warm weather of some of the early openings. Late comers from the country are now at homo, wondering what thoy are going to wear, and naturally they respond to all invitations to late displays ot feminine fineries. Tho openings thus have a social as well as a practical side.

Display parlors are made as cozy as possible, the fragrance of fresh cut roses suggesting an afternoon reception. It the head of tho section happens to be a woman, as seems to be the cuse vnry frequently lately, she acts the part of hostehs. Such is the pleasant arrangement at Wechsler to day, where a sort of millinery opening reception Is being held iu the unique display parlor. The designs shown are invariably stylish, without being extreme. Colors likely to be very common, because tho rage in Paris, have been charily used, tho aim being to show at this time a rarity of refined, neat capotes which shall please the majority of Brooklyn shoppers, distinguished for their simplicity in dreijs.

Sots, consisting of collar and toque to match, are decidedly Jaunty for deml season wear. A very pretty one shows a combination of Porsian Jamb and ruby velvet, the pointed toque having a handsome rhinostono bucklo in front, with the fashionable side montures. Jet and chiffon have been successfully used In a toquo with plaltlnga of tho black chiffon falling in the back on the hair, the soft folded brim being of emerald glace velvet. A medium round hat In white felt has effective trimmings in black, the edge being In black braided chenille, with several large black plumes as monture. This Is made individual by a fall of white lace In the back, caught up with horse shoo Jet ornaments.

Originality mark many of the models seen at Wechsler McNulty's. A saucy plateau made of stitched bluet velvet is trimmed with large black satin rosettes on one side, with largo plumes on the other. A dainty child's hat Is a white felt with squaro brim, white plumes and white strings, rosettes of baby ribbon encircling crown. Equally attractivo Is the suit section, with the bright sunlight streaming in through the largo windows filled with palms. Sensible; and tasty are the walking suits.

Practical women must find this opening especially interesting, for all tho garments are most desirable, while dressy women will have no trouble in selecting wraps which are elegant and Frenchy. A promenade suit In mixed camel's hair hopsacklng has the fashionable plain skirt with full organ pipe back, as the Elected Lieutenant Colonel of the Fourteenth Regiment An Interest ins Event at the North Pnrt'nrul Avenne Armory Tlie Drill Hanson or lSi to flefrin on Monday Changes in Colonul Austen's Command.

September 25 Under conditions the most favorable the Queens count7 fair opened on tho enlarged grounds here thl3 morning. The exhibition will cor.tinuc five days, ono more than heretofore, and is ona of the best ever given by the society.

Nearly four thousand entries are made in the various departments, which, with the exception ot cattle and vegetables, are crowded to the utmost capacity. There is not much of a crowd here to day; in fact, the exhibits aro not to be seen at their best until to morrow, not being arranged in their places until thio afternoon. In the main exhibition hall the space Is devoted exclusively to fruits, flower and vegetables, the exhibits of Industrials having been sent over to the old dining hall. The show ot flowers is magnificent, in this respects Thomas Griffin of the Oasis, at Wost bury station, and P. Halstead Soudder of Glen Head leading all competitors.

Griffift has a show of tuberous begonias, which is the envy of every woman visitor to the hall. Large displays are also made bv Walter R. Willots, Carrie A. Hicks. Richard Hicks, Sarah Albertson, Roslyn; Mary Estha Titus, Mrs.

MR. STANTON'S PLAN for Money to Rebuild the 'I'nberiiacle. In the Eagle yesterday was published tho that a plan for raising money with wt'ch to rebuild the Brooklyn Tabernacle had been submitted by N. P. Stanton, a friend ot Dr.

Talmage, to Leonard Moody, president of the board of trustees. Mr. Stanton declined to discuss his scheme in detail until he had again seen Mr. Moody, who returned to Brooklyn late In the day. Last night Mr.

Stanton gave out this synopsis of his plan: To lBsue $300,000 non interest bearing bonds of tho denomination of $1 each; also a few non Interest bearing bonds of a total par value of $200,000 in denominations of $10 and $100 each. The conditions for payment of theso bonds to bo as follows: At tho expiration of the first five years atter their issue there shall bo called in and can colled one quarter of tho amount of each and all of the $10 and $100 bonds by paying 60 por cent, of their par value, which shall be in full payment for such bonds At tho end of ton years from dato of Issue call in another quarter by paying "0 per cent, of their par value. At the end of fifteen years pay SO per cent, for a third quartet and at tho end ot twenty years call in the last quarter or all outstanding by paying 90 per cent. Also at the same timo call in and cancel tho whole issue of $1 bonds by paying their par value. "II.

From the monies received from tho salo of those bonds set apart $200,000 for building purposes, keeping the balance as an auxiliary fund for the benefit of tho Tabernacle. "III. Use $5,000 annually for the first tea years of the lnterost accruing from this auxiliary fund toward defraying the expenses of tho Tabernacle with the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage.

as Its permanent pastor. To the auxiliary fund add the annual interest accruing therefrom less the $5,000 above specified. After all the bonds have been redeemed tho balance of the auxiliary fund shall be used aa the nucleus of an endowment fund for tho benefit of the Tabernacle. "By this plan." says Mr. Stanton, "it will bo seen that anyone contributing for a $10 or a $100 bond will In a few years receive back from CO to SO per cent, of his contribution, while the holders of the $1 bonds will receive tho full amount.

Thus the new Tabernaclo will bo built and will also receive for its i suppport during the first ten years $5,000 per year. The money contributed or advanced by this plan will cost the dollar bondholders only tho Interest on $1 and tho $10 and $100 bondholders will pay respectively $2.50 and beside interest, making tho total sum act ually contributed about $50,000. Dr. Tal mage's reputation Is world wide. Thousands Hon of a now church.

There have been seen regularly In the late Tabernacle thousands of strangers, many of whom heard Dr. Tal niiie ivuAii lui luc iimi uiue. men re turned to their distant homes to talk of Tal mage. his excellent sermon and his hearty hand nhako at the close. Theso strangers will be gla 1 to help In the good work by tak i ig a bond.

We can approach, with hardly an exception, every member of the Tabernaclo society or regular attendant at. the church and expect a contribution; also oil who are religiously Inclined or who love good order in wwiety. students, teachers, literary societies, ihoolngieal institutes, members of the Young Men's Christian Association, social clubs and tho railroad and business corporations ot the i ity. I believe that a new church corporation known as the Talmage Tabernacle should be formed to carry on the work. By so doing wo would remove one hindrance to success.

"Mr. Louis Klopsch. owner of the Christian Herald, of which Dr. Talmage Is editor, said In renr Irtervlew that the tabernacle would not be rciiullt because the moneved men of Brooklyn would not come forward and con Irlhuto No wonder' The fnt tW more rmmev was raised and used during the i.i a the tare nho nneia ihn have paid Its entire exprnses and left it free had It been used fairlv. Judiciously and In a businesslike manner.

But It was not so used The Stars and Stripes Used to Boom a Melodrama There Is Good Comedy in Town as Well as Spectacular Stnge Effect "The ITeDrletta" at the Park, llurrignn's Plays at the Columbia, and Other Attractions. There can be no doubt but that Hiram Law ton gets his Just deserts. Mr. Lawton, it should be remarked, is the quadruple plated villain In "Old Glory," the new melodrama which is being given at the Bijou this week. This much is novel in this play that the authors have christened as Hiram the character whose business it is to win the profound and vehement displeasure ot the gallery.

This is contrary to all precedent. Neither the lime lighted literature of the herolo stage nor tho entire range of troublesome pereons In the yellow covered libraries can show such an anomaly. Hiram should properly belong to the bucolic New England drama. Mr. Law toa's appearance and actions would seem to indicate that he assumed this honest name as a part of bis disguise.

As he is a heavy villain and not a polished scoundrel it is positive that his real name must be Jim. Nobody but a person named Jim could do the things he does. There can be no doubt, to return to the starting point, that he deserved his fato. He was shot, stabbed and punched. He was disappointed in his ambition and baffled In his revenge.

He was cursed and abused and even kicked. Every punishment that the ingenuity of the authors could devlso was visited upon his sleek and offending head. No one pitied him. Not a voice was raiBed in his favor nor in his defense when he was overtaken by tho vigorous Nemesis which pursued him. Justice was satisfied.

Hiram Lawton had received his punishment for appearing at his office at 9 o'clock in the morning in a frock coat and a small, brown, flat brimmed felt hat. Not only had ho done this, but he had added the crime of wearing a dark scarf In combination with a double barreled whito silk vest. No wonder Miss Harvey would not marry him. No wonder that Robert Adams, who went to business in a plain sack suit, outwitted him and unmasked him. Tho moral of the play was well enforced.

Don Ignatio Alvarado and his fiery daughter. Dona Marie, were also hardly dealt with perhaps because of their dialects. Don Ignotlo was a Chilian, whose English accent combined the echoes, of the Bowery, suggestions of Baxter street and reminiscences of cigar labels with the dulcet tonets of Anda lUBlan speech. "We, we, slgnora, dat vas so he said In one thrilling passage. Hrs daughter went him one better when sho said with delicious naivete, "My father will be furioso." "Old Glory," according to the play bill, was written by Charles C.

Vincent and William A. Brady. Mr. Brady and James J. Corbott are responsible for its production.

It is well for Mr. Corbett that ho is strong and that he can stand the responsibility. Sympathy for Mr. Brady is unneces sary. He 1b used to this sort of thing.

Its plot i3 a rehash of the events of the Chilian Imbroglio centered about a cablegram from Mr. Blaine to the American consular agent at Valparaiso. Robert Adams reads it to a mob which is about to tear down the American flag in this way: "It any man dar es to lay a hand on Old Gul lor shoot him like a do The effect of this message ia wonderful. The Chilians are evidently ablo to understand English for they cower and shrink and tremble. It also makes the Americans remember that they are armed.

Previously they had submitted calmly to a se ries of assaults in the third degree, now tnoy draw tholr revolvers and shoot holes in the flies. It is a thrilling scene. "Old Glory" is well worth seeing. It is worth paying for a seat to hear the gallery howl. Beside this there is a magnlQcently handsome and graceful Spanish woman called Slgnora Tortaja da, who appears in the street fete.

She makes it possible for one to forgive Don Ignatio for his weirdly wonderful dialect John A. Coleman and Miss Louise Montrose do a "turn" which classes them among the best of the vaudevlllers upon the stage. Coleman is an agile and double jointed lit tle fellow who suggests Bobby Gaylor. partner, although very young, is a remarkably clever wing dancer. Next week.

"Struck Oil will be presented. THE PARK. Stuart Robson again gave Bronson Howard's "The Henrietta" at the Park theater last night, and the large audience followed its alternations of humor and pathos with as keen interest as when the play was new. The dramatic climax of the second act and the whole third act, with its sudden transitions frcjn the tragedy of the betrayal and ruin of old Nick Van Alstyne by his trusted son to the ludicrous inanities of Bertie and the farcical wooing of the widow, again Impressed tho fact that they are the strongest passages in American dramatic literature, while the fine and true art ot Bronson Howard, which has made the wholo a comedy of literature and of life and not merely an indifferent play, with strong situations, become more impressive with each fresh view. Only a work of commanding power could have Interested under the treatment which "The Henrietta" received at the hands of last night's actors.

Mr. Robson's company Is quite equal to the slight requirements of "Leap Year," which they played last week, but in "The Henrietta" they are, with throe exceptions, out of their depth. Mr. Robson's Bertie remains as of old, Mr. Wooderson was excellent as the Rev.

Murray Hilton and Mrs. Robson shone as Mrs. Opdyko. Indeed, the inadequacy of the cast may be Judged from the fact that she waB able to lift Cornelia into almost tho prominence of a star part. This is creditable to Mrs.

Robson's constantly growmg deftness and humor as an actress, but the elder and younger Nicholas Van Alstyne should not be left in hands where the warp and woof of the story can be obscured by any Cornelia. Mr. Yerance, as the father, lacked humor and ranted, and tho grlm maces with which Mr. Mclntyre, as the son, undertook to express emotion, were painful. The smallest parts were inoffensively done by Carrie Berg, Camillo Campbell and John Webster, Jr.

Next week Peter Dalley will play in "A Country Sport." THE COLUMBIA. One Is reminded of the kinetoscope when looking at one of Edward Harrlgan's plays. There is the same photographic accuracy of detail in hlB characters that one sees in the figures that move behind the lenses ot Edison's latest marvel. The tough girl in "Reilly and the 400 which was given at this theater, is an East side typo taken bodily from Its surroundings and put on the stage. Some of the surroundings, however, are brought with her.

There is her tough brothor, who has a record of threo knockouts, two fouls and a draw. Tho consumptive bum and the bum who has still strength enough left to mingle with his kind are also there. It one desires to go slumming no easier way can be found than to see this or any other of Harrlgan's pieces. Aside from the character studies there is little to interest. The plot is always simple, there are songs and dances which are dragged in for the amusement of the audience, and for tho sake ot contrast some ot tho characters wear fashionable clothing and are supposed to represent the 400.

There was a great deal of comedy in process of solution in tho play last night. From the point of view of a realist it might be said that there was considerable dramatic skill shown. Tho play is not elaborately wrought out and polished. It is like a chapter from life. The threads of the plot appear at roro intervals and when no one Is looking for them.

For the most part things go along as if the world had no knowledge of the dosire of Reilly to have his boy marry a society girl. This Is the way things happen in the world, and probably Mr. Harrl gan is right in the construction, of his play. Whatever opinion one may hold of his dramatic talent one must admit that be is doing a public service in presenting to the view of people who live in good houses and sleep on soft bod3 a class of society of which thoy know little. There is no sentimentality about him.

Ho does not moralize and tell the audience to look upon the Blums and remember that thoro are men and women there as well as elsewhere. His art is too high for that. He shows tho men and women themselves and has them act true to lite and lots the picture tell its own story if it has one to tell. Mr. Htrrigan's company is woll known in Brooklyn.

He was the star, courso, and although he was not made up as in the other plays he was the same genial, jolly Irishman that he has made familiar to the public. John Wild's foghorn voice has not grown more mellifluous since he was last here and he is just as good a nigger as he ever was. Mrs. Yeamans was delightfully tunny In the parlor of Mrs. Gale and she was Just as entertaining In the pawnshop, where she wa3 naa to remain until 11:30 clock to witness the happy denouement brought about by Roquefort's winning of the race, which led to a double marriage and annihilation of the plotters against the peace and prosperity of the old English esquire and his family.

That they waited patiently is proof of tho interest of the audlenco in the play and the play erB. uno new "Eight Bells" will chime next week. TIIE STAR. Her Brooklyn friends were last night proud of the little Brooklynite, Florence Bindley, onoe known as Baby Bindley, and declared her a credit to the city she halls rrom. Her Ilrst aDDearanoe at the Star In "The Captain's Mate" was the signal for an enthusiasm which was renewed many times throughout the evening.

The play, Is new, built on old lines. It tells the story of a girl who was kidnapped by a ruffian, but who managed to find her parents, after experiences as a child of the woods, a bootblack and a sailor boy. In each of the characters the actress did clever specialties and sang new Bongs in a sympathetic soprano voice. In the third act her playing on the xylophone, musical glasses and sleigh bells was clever. Her support was exceptionally good.

Hattie Nevlllo, aaotner Brooklyn girl, was clever in the opposite characters of old Mother Vane rnd Abigail. Wilton Taylor'B ruffian was a good bit ot acting and Mr. Hirshborg sustained the characters Bud Delaney, Blind Joo and a secrot service officer well. John Sheehan, once well known In the vaudevilles, was a funny stage policeman. The play was well staged, presenting accurate pictures of Maine mountain scenery, the Pennsylvania railroad dock looking toward Jersey City and the deck of an ocean steamer.

Next week "The be presented by Walter Sanford's stock company. TIIE oXyETT. "A Railroad Ticket," a lively farco comedy, is the attraction at the Gayety this week. A western district theater opened tho season with this play, but so great a hit did It maka that the managers of the Gayety felt Justified in booking it for presentation at their theater three weeks later. Tho attendance at last night's performance Indicated that no mistake had been made.

Every seat in the house was taken and very little Btanding room was to be had. Tho company, which Is unchanged, includes William Blaisdell, James T. Kelly, Charles J. Stlne, Frank Gardiner, Harry Porter, Douglas Coughlan, Samuel Hunt, Leo Wright, Richard Jones, Clara LaVine, Ollle Evans, Hattle Waters, Llzzio Mulvey, May Belle Eckert, Marie Bach and a remarkably clever dancer, Eulallo, whose name doeB not appear upon the bill. There was, of course, much Blnging and dancing by other members of the company, most of it good.

A featuro of the performance that was highly appreciated was a trolley car in full operation. Next week Helene Mora and Hyde's comedians will bo at the Gayety. THE A3IPHI0X. The second week of "In Old Kentucky" opened auspiciously last night at the Am phion. There was a large audience present, which testified its appreciation of the old time scenes in the blue grass region, the exciting races, the singing, the pickaninny band and the chickens especially the chickens being received with great favor.

Thomas H. Burns, as the colonel, was as unctuous as usual, and Laura Burt, as the mountain flower, won admiration. There was good orchestral music under Jay Nova. Next week the welcome Bostonians will appear in three operas "Fatlnitza," "Maid of Ply the perennial "Robin Hood." IIYUK A BEHMAN'S. Helene Mora meets with her usual cordial reception at the hands of a Brooklyn audience and she deserves it, although hor costumes could be more tastoful.

Sho makes a hit In the late Harry Kennedy's song "Say au Revoir." Perhaps the funniest sketch of tho season is that of John and Emma Ray, the facial contortions of Ray himself being startling to a degree. The Electric quartet introduce some new features in their songs, the Edisons play musical instruments, the Brothers Dixon reappear in their clown act, Harris and Walters present a neat comedy sketch, Thompson and Collins sing parodies and Al burtus and Bartram swing clubs. John Ray and Harry Thompson furnish lots of fun In an afterpiece entitled "Mistaken Identity." Next week, the Meteors. OTIS SKIKSKB'S NEW PL.IY. Chicago, 111., September 25 When the curtain fell last night on the second act ot "His Grace de Grammont," produced for the first time on any stago at the Grand Opera house, the success of Otis Skinner, as a star, was assured.and Clyde Fitch, the playwright, had scored a triumph but little less brilliant than that of Mr.

Skiner himself. The personal success of the actor was distinct and emphatic, and he was compelled to express his thanks in a neat speech at the close of the play. In tho part of Do Grammont, the playwright has suited Mr. Skinner to a nicety, and he lost none of tho ample opportunity afforded him. The play was magnificently staged, the scenery being elaborate and the costuming splendid.

The play, which Is a romantic comedy of the time of Charles II ot England, moved without a hitch from first to last, and was received with an enthusiasm second nly to that accorded to Mr. Skinner personally. Of the excellent supporting company, Miss Maud Durbin and Miss Sarah Truax wero highly successful. DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES APPOINTED. Twcnsy th ird Wurd Machine Orguul.
