Continued from Flnit Fage. out of curiosity to tea what thca little one, whom they had ieen before at Midget exhi bition!, could do, rather than to we a bril liant theatrical performance. The duel be twswn the Count and the Baron however was a fine bit of swordsmanship nd illus, trated the fact that although demlnutlvo In statue, yet their duel Ins iiuallflacttons were fully up to the standard. The juggling of Klnzo, the Japanese wan nnother very In terettlng part and elicited detervod applause. Fred Kettler, the noted artist, who haibeon at work constantly at the Ijanslnir slnco and before the opening Is iltlll there wielding hl bruih. He Is now busy getting up nlotuf new scenery aud other accessories. A num ber of new landscapes and Interior aro at) proachlng completion, afUir which he will begin wurk on a set homo with nnloony. Mr. Kettler has been engaged to go to Cincin nati where Horn & Smith nro orecting an other beautiful theatro and they are pressing him for a reply a to tno tlmo ho 'may bo ex pected there, Mr, Kettler, however, will fully complete all work at Lincoln's now tbesptan temple boforo leaving. Each piece of his handiwork appeara to add new laurels to bis already popular fame and wbea tho public gets a chance to see bis present work, they will only add furthor applause to that already glvon him on his past effort. The Lansing may truly feel proud of tho brush work on its walls and stage, for no theatre In tho country will be able to show a handsomer lot of scenery and accessories, or a prettier finished auditorium when Mr. Kottlers' work is done and he bids farewell to Lincoln. Personally the artist Is clever, genial and whole-souled not In the least conceited or Important, but generally a hail fellow, well met. He has made many friends in Lincoln and the departuro will be equally regretful on either side. When Sol Smith llussell was playing ''Peaceful Valley" in Chicago recently, he told the following good story concerning his little child to Eugene Field. " My 'little daughter Alice," said Mr. Russell, "seems to have Inherited from her mother's aide of the family a certain playful mlschlevousness that frequently gets her Into trouble. She Is full of sportlveness quite In contrast to my little boy, who is as serious as a deacon or a Judge. It was only the other day that -she was apprehended In some bit of mischiev ous fun. After reproving her solemnly her mother said: 'Alice, you must go up into -your little room all by yourself and ask God to forgive you.' Little Allco didn't fancy going alone, but finally she went, and there he 'stayed a Itttlo wbilo. Presently she made her appearanco again, and wife regretted to observe that the child w a mot in as chastened a mood as she had hcpxl to see. 'Alice,' said wife, 'did you ask Ood to forgive you?' 'Yes, mama; I told God all about how naughty I'd been and asked him to forgive me. And, oh, mama, pretty soon Ood said to me: 'Great Bcott, Alice Russell, there's a lot of other little girls a heap naughtier than you arel' " ' STUART ROBSON MONDAY EVENING. "The Henrietta," which convs to the Lan sing Monday '.evening, deserves the success it has enjoyed throughout the country, be cause it 1 one of the brightest comedies that has been seen In many years. It Is a pure comedy. Not one of those wild construc tions of absurdity and mule play , such as has been frequenting the theatres f the past few years under the title of comedy. Bran son Howard has produced a play, "The Hen rietta." of which be may well he proud. Re fined, full of genuine wit and humor with delicate touches of pathos combined into a harmonious body, which makes an effective and exceedingly interesting play. It is acted by Mr. Kobson .and Mr. Wood ward, both having parts In which they ap pear to the very best advantage, and the supporting company is excellent. The com edy will be Interpreted by these players: Messrs, Thos. E.Webber, Aubrey Douclcault, Geo. 8. Woodward, W. H. El wood, Stuart Robson, Jno. L. Wooderson, Carl Smith, Franclyn Reglld, H. Munden, Jos. Zahner, George West. Henry Zahner. Mis pes May Waldron, Amy Busby, Olive May and Mrs. Garrbella McKean. MINA OALK AT FITNKE'S. Miss Gale's coming engagement at Funke's Friday and Saturday evenings is attracting more than usual attention and her appear ance will be carefully and critically watched. Speculation Is rife as to the result of her tarring tour. Among professionals and managers generally a verdict has already been pronounced In her favor. Certainly the young actress has shown the public that he U capable of great work. As leading lady in the Booth-Barrett combination she proved an actress of much power and it la aid that her acting could hardly be equaled MINNA OAIJC AS ROSALIND. by any actress of her years on the stage; be ,ing powerful and rising at times to a height that evoked In Now York perfect thunders of applaure. Miss Gale's repertoire is one calculated to bring out the best patrons of the legitimate school. The supporting com pany lends additional Interest from the fact that at Us head Is Mr. Creston Cltrke, an actor of' the most brilliant attainments and widely and favorably known. Tliure are al so several members of the late Booth- Barrett company with Miss Gale. She will be seen here In "Romeo and Juliet" Friday evening, and in "As You Like It" Sat unlay evening. THKOHEAT HOUDAN, The Funke management annouuees for IU attractions April 18 the celebrated "Sou dan," which lias for sevoral Benson past held full sway as the leading theatrical attrac tion of the great eastern cities. The Bostou Sunday Tlmos commenting on the pieco says; "The Boston theatre will have to be enlarged If Mr. Tompkins expect to accommodate the multitude who desire go jd seats for per formances of "The Soudan." The eighth week of the run of the great play brought as large receipt to the box office as any of t Sr III a ?r preceding ones, and hundreds were obliged to stand throughout last night's erforni nnca," A!,. riELD'H MIN8THRU). Six yean ago Al. G. Field orlnluated the Idea of dressing alt people In his parado alike hats, overcoats, etc. Bine then every minstrel manager In America has adopted this Idea. Three years ago Al. U. Field pre sented the Mlllitary Encampment first part. Since then every inlnlMrel manager In this country, excepting Prlmrom nnd West, havo advertised, and two have actually produced, mlllitary flrrt part. Two years ago Mr. Field brought and equlpiwd the first train of palace earn ever used by a minstrel company, No other minstrel manager has as yet Imi tated this movo although sevoral liavo an nounced tholr Intention to do no. Al. Field will have but one mlnstri'l company on tho road, nnd It will be under his Imrdiate dlrec ion, He will not liavo an Interest In nny other amusement venture, nnd will not try to movo tho world's fair Into tho auditorium nnd use tho fair buildings to exhibit his fam ous minstrels In; neither will he send his minstrel conixiny abroad there's too much money In .America. Neither will ho foist (ion press or public nny palpable exaggera tions for self-aggrandizement, but In the future, as In tho past, will give the public tho best legitimate minstrel entertainment ever seen. When tho band plays nnd the doors open, press and public will verify tlilt statement. This grand aggregation will be soon at tho Landing Wednesday evening, when a new, unique nnd thoroughly enjoyable program will bo given. DRAMATIC NOTEH.

Somo of tho blouso nkirfo roach quito to tho knoea nnd othors not so far. Tho blouso is nlwayB open on tho loft sido from top to bottom, nnd If fastened by buttons nnd buttonhole and by a straight, round bolt with one largo or two small buckles. The buttons nnd buckles aro quit largo and of rather rough, barbai mako. Tho handsomest and most a proprlato trimming is a very narro band of astrakhan around tho bottom of both skirt and blouso; but as this would look out of Reason very soon 1 would suggest tho employment of two or throo rows of ropo cord around the skirt and ouo row edging tho blouse. Tho bat is usually a enpoto or toque mndo of tho dress material whon feasi ble. Tho blouso ia tho nowest garment of this season. "" Tho blouse has this doublo value, as it is just tho thing for a slender young fig uro and looks equally well on a plum, one. Thero is a snug lining fitted like a corset cover, which is necessary. Other wise tho blouso would "hitch." The sleovcs aro rnther full and wrinkled al tho top and plain toward tho bottom. Dresses aro seen now in which there seems a determinod attempt to revive tho old doublo skirt, and thoso blouses come somewhat under tho samo head. Doublo skirts aro not graceful, like the plain skirts, with their unbroken linos. Tho bell skirt is still mado, but the plaits aro no longer laid under and fas tened. Tho back breadth is put on in ouo doublo box plait, fastened only nt tho top, which allows it to fall in a graceful sweep, carrying out tho idea of tho Watteau plait to a certain extent. I givo hero such a gown. It is made of dark bluo surah with whito lozenges as Inrgo as a fifty cent piece. Around tho bottom thero is a superb roso plait ing of dark .bluo satin; tho skirt is not draped in tho front and has a deep Watteau plait at tho back of tho skirt, which falls with easy grace. Tho sleovcs aro high and wrinkled, and tho waist is mado by laying plaits up to a point in front and back to tho neck, over n gimp of whito crapo. A belt of white ribbon is twisted around tho waist and a Watteau bow with long ends decorate tho back, falling, nearly to tho foot of the dress. I saw a young lady in tho street yes terday with a dark green dress, and on tno back or the neck was fas tened a Watteau bow of dark red ribbon, which fluttered wildly in tho wind and in one instanco flapped around another woman's neck. And she wasn't very po lite in taking it off. 1 think it startled her, and then sho became angry that she hod allowed it to tartlo her, much as men do when they slip down pretty surah house on the sidewalk. vvsa' I should bavo mentioned when speaking of thoso blouses that dark Russian green cloth, dark green or brown velutina or somo of tho somber shades in English serge, are tho mot suitublo for street wear. The pretty houso dress can bo mado in challio or percale or pique, or, in short, any goods tlint ono prefers, only, in case it should bo mado of washablo goods, narrow French henuni'driifttcs shotild tuko.tho'plnco of tho rose plaiting, oi pinked out ruffles for silk.
