"Pie Haubenlr was last night's otter ing by Conr4 a Irvine Pisco Theater jtr-man comp at tho Ampblon Theater and a well received by tho audience that was larger than it was on tbe opening night. Tbe drama's action is as queer as the nama of the play. It keeps one guessing why it was selected.

Lena, daughter of a working-man's widow. Is secretly wooed by August Langenthal, proprietor of a factory, and one morning, while in her yard, with a little cap on her bead and Joyously singing, Lena is surprised by Langenthal's stepbrother, Herrmann, the black sheep of the family. He complimented Lena for ber aingtng "liae a lark (Lerche) and alluding to tbe cap (Haube), calls her "Haubenlerche." The action of the play may be called a series ot almost impossible situations, all leading up to Lena's marrying Langenthal, despite the opposition of ihetr families. Clara Serva-dio was a dainty Lena, and ber acting was very clever. Max Haenseler as Schmalen- bach.

as uncle of Ltna, and socialist "lor principle only," won well merited applause, as did John Folate! as Hermann, who avoid ed overdoing bis part. Julius Kobler hai! the difficult part of Langenthal, but he did very well. Juliana, bis cousin, who also aunts to win his love, was fairly well acted by Camilla Dalberg. The ensemble playing was up to tbe mark the drama Itself for the reason stated, failed to iousc such enthusiasm, as certainly will be brought out by Johannisfever," Hermaun Sudermann's famous drama, scheduled lor to-night.

BLOW TO OUR EUROPEAN TRADE. Several Countries Will Raise Tariff Wall Soon Uncle Sam to Handle Wireless Commercial Messages. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington. March 30 Secretary Moody has been informed by Rear Admiral Charles W.

Rae, engineer-in-chief of the Navy, that the steam engineering bureau of tbe Brook lyn Navy Yard will have to be closed during the months of May and June unless additional funds for running it are provided by Congress. The same condition applies to all the other navy yards of the country, owing to the fact that the appropriation for repairs to the machinery of ships of the Navy is practically exhausted. Admiral Rae states that it Is doubtful If the bureau of steam engineering at the Brooklyn yard can be kept running throughout the month of April. If it la kept open it will require some Judicious Juggling with ap propriation accounts. The demands on the funds for repairing the machinery ot ships have been heavier than ever before In the present year.

In addition to the routine work a number of serious accidents to vessels have occurred that served to increase the drain. The disaster to the battleship Illinois will cause another unexpected inroad on this appropriation and will probably take up the last penny. Secretary Moody has been urged to call on Congress for another appropriation, to be made available at once. Admiral Rae needs a full million dollars to keep up tbe steam engineering plants of the various yards until July 1, when the regular appropriation can be drawn on. He has not asked for that much money, however, and if he gets 2700,000 will be satisfied.

Secretary Moody is expect ed to forward the recommendation of the chief engineer to the Committee on Appropriations, with a request that it be taken care of in the general deficiency bill. Thia Is the last of the supply bills to be passed. It is held back until the last week and provision is made In it for the numerous odds and ends that have been overlooked in the prepara tion of other appropriation measures. Owing to tbe great interest felt by many members of Congress in the deficiency appropriation for the steam engineering bureau, it is thought that the money will be obtained without trouble. Representatives Mudd, Rixey and Meyer, all of whom represent navy yard districts on the Naval Committee, will see that their friends on the Appropria tion Committee are fully informed of the necessity for approving Secretary Moody's recommendations.

The word will be passed to Representatives who represent other navy yard districts, so that plenty of sentiment will be developed in favor of the appropriation. There has been no increase in the regular appropriation for repairing the machinery of warships for two years. The fund was limited to $3,405,000 last year and the same amount was provided for the current year. In the meantime, the number of ships in commission has greatly increased and the fleet has been kept in constant activity. The ships now in commission represent a gain of 100,000 horse power over those afloat year ago.

The system of drilling and maneuvering that has been in force for two or three years has had the natural effect of swelling the bills for repair, the wear and tear on machinery being considerable. The Bureau of Construction and Repair appears to be well fixed with regard to funds and there seems to be no danger that this bureau will shut down any of its Navy Yard plants for lack of money. The Equipment Bureau is rapidly running shy, however, and will report a deficit. Admiral Manney, chief of the Equipment Bureau, believes that there will be no necessity for cutting down on the work at the yards and that with a little help he can tid things over until July 1. Secretary Hay is spending considerable time these days trying to avert tariff wars on products of the Trying to "United States.

Very Avert little has been printed tn itt about his work along Tariff Wars. this ine but it l8 none the less imnor- tnnt. Most of (he negotiations have been conducted quietly and under the cover of official correspondence, only a few business men concerned being Informed of developments. Nearly all of Europe is at present engaged In a revision of tariff laws. The trend everywhere is toward protection of a more or less pronounced variety.

Our exporters watch prospective changes in the customs duties closer than our diplomatic representatives, and as soon as a business man finds that his trade is threatened by a hostile tariff he quickly calls on Secretary Hay for relief. In this way the premier of the Cabinet has been appealed to constantly In the last year. The machinery of the reciprocity treaties commission has been utilized to look after those matters since the Senate turned down all the treaties prepared by Mr. Kasson. The arguments In a particular case are prepared by Mr.

Kasson's assistants and laid before Secretary Hay. If the latter finds that a proposed tariff law will work a hardship to an American exporter, he flies a protest against the change through the American diplomatic officer In the country where the law is to be revised. The most Berious danger confronting American manufacturers in the general boosting of tariffs in Europe is In Germany. A great furor was created here a year or two ago by the passage of an extreme tariff bill by the German Reichstag. The law has not gone Into effect yet and the first alarm occasioned by Its agitation has largely subsided.

But the blow will fall In the course of a few months, although It may be delayed until the last of this year. The Em peror is authorized to put It into effect whenever he sees fit, and he Is merely wait ing to do so in order to adjust conditions with certain European countries Germany has commercial treaties with neighboring governments that will be ended by the enforcement of the new tariff law The Kaiser Is on good terms with these governments and wishes to protect them from the harsh provisions of the new tariff, Tho countries he is looking out for Include the other members of the Dreibund, Italy, and Austria, as well as RusBia and of the Balkan states. He Is negotiating new commercial treaties with these countries to take the place of tho existing convention. As soon as these treaties are made the de nunciation of tho old ones will bo an nouncod, after which the now tariff law will bo promulgated. No overtures have been made to this gov ernmcnt to enter into a treaty by which American exporters will be saved from the rigors of the German tariff.

It was said at. one time that the law was drafted primarily for the purpose of hitting American goods, but whether or not this be true, the fact remains that it will have a most disastrous effect on our exports. American flour and beef will be practically excluded from Germany, aB well as a lot of other articles that are now Important features in our export trade. When this law goes Into effect there will be some lively complaining ou the part of American shippers. Switzerland has lately revised her tarifl laws, Increasing customs duties all alon tho line.

Secretary Hny has had some correspondence with the Swiss officials In efforts to got modifications of certain provisions that are unfriendly to American Interests. The old commercial treaty with Switzerland, entered Into In 1S50, was denounced In 1899, and since then wo have no trade agreements with that country. The result has been that we have been badly hit in the Swiss tariff laws. Negotiations are under way between WILLIE Easte? Novelties In Gold and Silver. I lathusti A an Fulton St.

Taking things in the order of their importance, I estimate about how much timo each will require and usually add something to it as a provision against unforeseen emergencies thai may arise.

may be forwarded by the private companies. Both of the telegraph corporations have rousented to receive communications of this kind aod transmit them collect, and all that now remains to be done is to adjust the details of the agreement. Tbe government baa a string of Navy wireless telegraph stations from the Maine roast to Florida, and up the Pacific coast. It frequently happens that passing ships will get into communication with one of these stationa and request that a message be dispatched to a certain inland city. In scree instances the local telegraph company baa forwarded these dispatches In the hope that the receiver would pay for them.

Admiral Manney, chief of the Bureau of Equipment, under which wireless work in the Navy is carried on, recently applied to the telegtaph companies for some kind of agreement by which messages of this kind could be hsndled by them. They readily agreed to forward dispatches and trust to the receivers to pay for them. The stations of the Navy equipped with wireless telegrarh instruments are as follows: Cape Elizabeth, Maine; Portmouth Navy Yard, New Hampshire; Thatchers Island, off Cape Ann, Massachusetts; Highland Light, Cane Cod, Massachusetts; New-Tort training station, Rhode Island; Nave-sink Highlands, New Jersey; Brooklyn Navy Yard; Cape Henry, Virginia: Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia; Key West and Dry Torlufms, Florida; Pensacola, Florida; Yerba Burno naval training station at San Francisco, and Mare Island Navy Yard, California. It la expected that steamers approaching these shores will take advantage of the Navy stations to report their arrival, and have the warnings forwarded to inland cities. No charge Is made by the government for tta part in handling the messages, and the business will not be continued where it comes into competition with private enterprise.

The Army is to experiment with telescopic sights for field batteries, following the example of foreign Telescopic Sights artillery experts. Gen-for eral Crozier, chief of the Bureau of Ord- Tield Guns. nanC9 of tne War ne, partment, has ordered twenty sets of these powerful sights, which will be tried with the field guns at Fort Riley. They will be mounted on tripods and will enable the officers to direct the guns at objects which are now far beyond the range of ordinary sights. The coast defenses are equipped with somewhat similar sights, but up to the nresent the field batteries have been directed by means of neid glasses handled by tbe officers commanding the batteries.

The following Army orders have been Issued: Major Orln B.MItcham, Ordnance Department, will make two visit per Army month during the months nnj yam of April. May and June. BnQ wavy 1904. from the Unite! Orders. States Powder Depot, Dover, New Jersey, to each of the following named places, on official business pertaining to the Inspection of powders In process of manufacture for the Ordnance Department, and upon the completion of this duty will return to his proper station after each visit: The works of the Laflln and Hand Powder Company, Haskell, New Jersey; the works of the Smokeless Powder and Chemical Company, Parlln, New Jersey.

Captain Llewellyn P.

With apologies to Southey. It was a summer evening, Old Kaspar's work was done. And he, before his Bay Ridge door, Was sitting in the sun, And by him sported on the green His little grandchild Wllhelmine She saw her brother Feterkln Roll something large and round. Which be beside a rivulet In playing there had found; He came to ask what he had found, That was so large and smooth and round. Old Kaspar took it from the boy, Who etood expectant by, And then the old man shook his head.

And, with a natural sigh: 'Tis some poor fellow's skull," sail he, "Who fell in the great victory." "Now tell us what 'twas all about," Young Pcterkln he cries, And little Wllhelmine looks up With wonder-waiting eyes; "Now toll us all about tho war, And what they fought each other for." "Great praise the Tiger chieftain won. And Doylo, who boosed the scene." "Why, 'twas a very wicked thing," Said little Wllhelmine. "Nay, nay, my little girl," quoin he, "It was a famous victory." "And everybody praised Bill Doyle, Who smashed McCarren In." "But what good came of it at last?" Quoth little Petcrkin. "Why, that I cannot tell," said he, "But 'twas a famous victory." "Dave Hill and Parker won the state. And Doyle's allies were beat, But hereabouts, in thia A.

Doyle's triumph was complete; And bo ynu youngsters both must see. It was a famous victory." J. A. NEW LEHIGH VALLEY OFFICE. Handsome Quarters, With Information Bureau, Opened by the Railroad Company at 336 Fulton Street.

The World's Fair feature of travel will be given especial consideration, and Individuals or parties seeking information about tho World's Fair rates, hotel accommodations, will be cheerfully accommodated. FINE ARTS. Twenty-sixth Exhibition of the Ameri can Artists' Society.

Despite the lack of "star" canvases in the show at the Fine Arts galleries the current exhibition by the Society of American Artists is one ot the most contenting and interesting that the organization has made. That a dozen of its leading members have chosen to absent themselves is accounted for by their appearance in exhibitions elsewhere, and it is clear that the Jury has striven for the maintenance of a standard, which is a high standard, too. Sargent's portrait of the Misses Hunter, which has been widely ex hibited and much copied in magazines one begins to wonder if the Hunter family is getting any good of It. so far does it travel from home that it will be familiar at first sight to many of the visitors. It has the place of honor, and shows the three fair subjects seated in the center of an apartment in attitudes of easy grace and pleasant idle ness, nearly back to back, life size, two in clothes of slaty black, a third in white.

The peculiar verve and brilliancy ot the Chase portrait, seen on these walls last year, Is lacaing, Dut it is a masterly piece of work all the same or It would not be Sargent's. What a pity he cannot find time to ualnt biener things than likenesses! Thesfj healthy young women are smiling ana are consciously nos ing to be painted, but the artist has searched out their personalities and disclosed them engagingly. As composition the thing is effective and unconventional, yet conforming to all rules laid down for the governance of picture, men the little dog lying at the foot of his mistress has bis value as a note and a break In what might otherwise be a too symmetrical arrangement of mass and lines. The other Sargent portrait, in the first room. Is broad and rapid in execution.

and painted with knowledge, yet it is commonplace, and but for the name would at tract loss attention than will bo given to Mr. Chase's woman In a yellow-white gown who is buttoning ber glove. Even Robert Henri, with his robust and blackish por traits, is entitled to a certain respect by the admirers of Mr. Sargent, for he shows a Sar gent influence, but he handles his back grounds and accessories with so little sub tleness that the effect of his empty spaces is chilling. William Thome, who began as a serious portraitist.

Is becoming a pretty one. but it is not too late to mend his ways. Work ot a different sort Is shown by Walter Florlan. whose portrait of Josef Israels has the sobriety and reserve of the Dutchman In manner, and who reveals Israels as a mellow personality, not unlike J. G.

Brown, In appearance, and not at all the pessimist he seems to proclaim bimselt In his scenes of peasant life. Other work in this department Includes Alphonse Jongers' florid and spirited portrait of his wife; William H. Hyde's symphony in purple-pink; W. h. La- throp's "Nancy," an engaging expression of childhood and a surprise from one who has confined himself to landscape hitherto; Janet Wheeler's "cute' portraits of Miss Coxe, natural in pose, mellow in tone; Frank von dor Lancken full lemtth figure of a girl, daintily treated; Bryson Hurroughs' despondent peas ant In the corridor; A.

Luis Mora's "Twilight," a girl whose maid is turning up a lamp behind her, and who Is painted with pleasing fluency; MatiKa Hrownell's portrait of Miss one of tho most truthful bits of work in the gallery; Louiso Cox's portrait of Mrs. Larkln, which woultl have been much better had she substituted, for the dark draperies, textiles or surfaces that harmonized with the costume anil so unified her picture; Charles C.

Cumin's graceful woman at the piano; George Do Forest Brush's mother with five children, simple as an old master, If a trifle fixed in grouping, temperate and dignified In manner, and not his best piece of color; Francis Jones' "June," which Indicates an advance in boldness; and In modeling one notes willy-nilly, Chnrles R. Hurley's almoit Impressionistic carving, "in Me-Tnorlam," which discloses the dead face of an agnostic who hus committed suicide a morbid thing, yet one of marked originality and strength. It is In landscape, however, that tho most adequate Interpretation of the painter's view Is afforded. In portraits ho is bound' by his subject. lie cannot transgress likeness.

In the world thai is not of men and Is larger than thr he has free range. And according as he is artist he Imposes his own personality upon his picture. Mo.it of the landscapes are rather modest In size and purpose. There are no commanding ex-Dloits. ai of the r-lnVr Inness, not many sub- Itletles like those of Wyant, and the idyls of Mr.

Murphy ar" absent. Yet there Is a plenty to like: iot f'andee Clark's warm. sweet, atmospheric work, for instance; Frank Vincent Du Mend "Refugees," the figures being InwrotiKlit i' lne Picture instead of dominating their surroundings; Will S. Knh-1 lnson's "November Pastures," in a romantic vein, with slender smoke columns rising from burning brush and gray skies brooding over Ihe still woods; his "Among the Hills," In which discovers a more tender mood, and his 'Watering Place." beautiful In Its presentment and significance, with red roofs displayed against dull green. lyiu' Loeb has a rharming episode of color In 1, "Byblls" thouith draperies were belter omitted or gathered higher.

Walter Slilr-law's "Fontabraada Wash House" Is oddly composed, and rn- though subdued and harmonious color Mcrritt Post's "Park Ridge Meadows" is healthful, yet thought-' ful, and Ethelber' Brown in bis "Road to the Sea" becomes dnnaatic. Charles son's "Mountain Uorsc" also Inclines to the somber, but with a rim of sunset light on the upper wall of the ravine. Rockwell Kent's view of the ledgy top of Monadnock Mountain at close range is big in handling, and gives a pleasant shock of surprise by reason of its unconventlonality. There is grave beauty In Charles Warren Eaton's "Connecticut Pines." which are ranked against the sunset, also In his "Golden Hour" and his "Morning in Holland," with its odd, rhythmic swing of trees In rows along the canal. Robert Vonnoh takes a daring flight and successfully violates the rules and regulations in his "Salvia, Petunia, Agcratum," for his garden, wherein these things grow, brings into relation such quarreling hues as scarlet and magenta.

Yet one enjoys the freshness and sincerity of his color, which is all the more brisk for the sobriety and tone of his neighbors. Emil Carlsen has turned from still life to landscape and gives an orchard In bloom that is so pale as to suggest snow, but his "Connecticut Hilltop" three orange and yellow trees is higher and warm in key. Edward Dufner's "Coast of Brittany" is clean and broad in painting, but lacks the atmospheric subtlety found In Paul Dougherty's "Gray Daj; at Sea," wilh Its tumbled water, through which emerald lights are gleaming, and Its laboring brig. Clark G. Voorhees has chosen In his "Lay- ville" a more commonplace subject than he usually elects.

It is pleasant to find Bruce Crane again among the exhibitors. Ho has a delicate "Year's Wane," a harvest view; his "Gray November," in which the undertone shows too far and harms the transparency and purity of the sky, and his "Spring on the Farm." Mr. Crauo is one of the poets who can 111 be spared. There Is another of that name, Frederick, to wit, who is advancing as a painter of landscape, and who in his "Slopes of Blue Ridge" illustrates his fondness for wide expanses. Interesting matters are by Jonas Lie, who paints sunlight and shadow upon snow with force and truth; Colin C.

Cooper, who finds In our City Hall Park, with its surroundings of gaunt skyscrapers a restless, but worthy theme; Jerome Myers, who takes his phase of city life from Hamilton Fish Park; Edunrd J. Stclchen, whose "Trembliug Leaves" spotted against a vapory hill are an original conceit; Will Howe Footo, who discloses one of a thousand pictorial possibilities in Central Park; CharleB Morris Young's "Connecticut Hills," a well Intended scheme, but marred by his representation of rocks, which resembles mattresses; Gedney Bunce, for his usual Venice, which he has painted since he painted at all, Is never without Its color charm; Walter Shlrlaw his "Lake Albano," olive green In scheme, suggests more than satisfies, which Is a true function fo nil art; Swain Gilford, In his "Evening" with Its large sky, its old trees, and its sad distance, and Warren B. Davis, In a graceful nude that he names "Solitude," and George Inness, "In the Clouds," discovers sheep on a vapory hill a dashing, unfinished looking canvas. Gustave Wlegand, an artist who Is disclosing large possibilities and working away from the commercial manner and multitude, eends to the exhibition an interesting river valley, cut by the level lino of a railroad. His "Autumn in the Morkshires" Is a sunny little thing, full of charm, and tho most artistic picture ho has exhibited.

A. T. Van Lear's "Meadow Ilrook" is 6linplo In Its matnrlil, but is an expression of a soberly Idyllic mood. F. A.

rtridgmun's "Greek Girls" how less of the Gerome Influence than his Moori and Algerians, and might even be suspected of a fondness for Albert Monro. Fiolton Jones brings the open air Into tho gnllery with his "Hrook." while Mr. Van Boskerick's florid Sussex view Is lacking In atmosphere. A littlo water color, "The White Storm Cloud," by Patrick Weslerfeldt, Walter Nettlcton's view of Monument Mountain In Rnow, and his crisp, cold "Farm Lane," E. W.

Redfield's cedars in snow with hilly hack-ground, R. K. Mygatt's "Marshes In October," where woods mnfs against a sky of Naples yellow, Arthur Hoeher's plensant. yet meditative "Afternoon," W. L.

Lnthrop's simple, unaffected transcript of winter, and Charles H. Woodbury's "f)ff the Florida Coast," where the ocean rollB tinder breezy skies Is green, frolli-slashed peaks, nre in the corridor. In Ihe west gallery nre J. C. Nieoil's "Pool on the nowns," sad 4n sentiment; II.
