No subject is more fertile in ideas for the author und playwright than oliticH -American' politics, arid in "A Texas Steer" Mr. Hoyt treats tho subject in a broadly huuiorouB way thut Is positively irresistible, esicciully when the story is told by such peoplo us Tim Murphy. Year by year Murphy elaborates and softens his part. His Maverick Itrimder is' so good thut one cunnot help wishing to seo him in koiuo more ambitious un dertaking. One of the most remarkable things hi "A Texas Steor" Murphy's muke-up. There- is nothing that looks tike imitation in his representation of the venerable Texan who accused tho votersof his district ot tukiug advantage' of his abwnco by electing him to con gress. If the audience in the Lansing theatre hist Friday evening hail uover seen Ktoru "Walsh (Mrs. Hoyt) as Homy, Alice Kviins' characterization would doubtless have received the highest praise, l-'ollowiug the actress who created tho purt she had an exceed ingly difficult lole, and it must be ad mltted thut she acquitted herself very oredllublv. Her JiiiHMi was not as mellow as Miss Wulsh's and in many of ' the little tricks of the part she failed to exhibit that winsoineness that was, so attractive in the original rendition.

At the Chicago opera house, "Sinbad, or the Maid of linlsora," has been tevived according tot promise.

The following are The lsy whispered through tho keyhole, and In u moment tho lock could behenrd to slip buck. Then there wun a rush, and the private olllee was tilled with delegates, not one, but all that could bo crowded in. Mr. 1'rittt looked Iio-m-Icb, but the boy succeeded In getting out of the otlice all but two of the visitors. During the wait forthe delegates it poelu wiim read which was supposed to have been conoscd by Mr, Sjdney Hosen feld, and which was found on the Casino stage on the evening of the closing per formunce, It was us follows: "Oh, promise mo that you will mj " dity," Siiltl S)dnry lo poor Hiweliorn en llroiidwn).

Mr 11. I.. Hice bus brought fortune to Mr. A. M. Palmer, und like the two Dromios these gentleman now unite in entertaining foieign celebrities at I lie Wuldorf. They will huve Jukobowski, the "Krinino" composer, at luncheon to morrow. I must pause once more to ml mite Mr. Uice. Only a few short yearn ago he was wearing a gray ulster, with uu odd glove in the left pocket and a liult-s i l;ed cigur in the other. He wore it worried look, und it is whispered thut the uctors in his company looked just as worried as he. And, tlnally, when the world had grown very cold, indeed, he and the gray ulster sailed sadly away to Australia. Then he re. uppeared, and it was at once seen that he had recovered his magic wand. Now we huve him, not only milking money for himself, but for Mr. Palmer, and uiviiic luncheons ut the Wuldorf to lurge parties of guests. Jle iscertulnly n remiirkubly ublu mini, und it is to be hoped thut he will never again revert to the gray ulster, with the odd glovo in one Htcket and tho half-smoked cigar in tho other. Town Topics. The compaii is sulmtantall) the sumo j this weeks import unt attractions in this as il was nisi year, ami wie put unco is unaltered. Itobeit Miiutell wuh been in this city Wednesday night for the tlrst time in several years. His role or rather his roles, iu "The Face in the Moonlight" are unlike his characterizations in "The Corsican Urothers" and "Monbars" which are familiar to most theatre piers; but Mantoll can never quite dis guise his personality, and there was much to remind one of his other repre sentutions in the characters of I'Vor Amlti-ow und llaliert. In the larger cities there is a disposi tion to make light of Mantell us a "ladies man" und it is occasiouull re marked thut he is a favorite with matinee audiences, which is the most objectionulile kind of criticism. There can be no doubt thut Mantell is upuinstukinguctorof real ability. He is purticttlurl adapted for the romantic drama, In "The Face in the Moonlight," u rather inuptl named drama dealing with revolutioimr France, he does the parts of two half biothers, and he pur t rajs I he two distinct characters, one a half muudlen villain and the other u French soldier, with intelligence und force. His concdy work, aided ma teriull by his lemuikuble fucilit iu fnciul giiiiiustics, is elVeetive, though lust act there is a he pusses fioia one with startling and overdone.

Twenty chorus girls and nearly as many men who were members of tho "Rainmakeis of Svria" company that caiiio to grief u few days ago in New York, climbed three tlights of narrow stairs iu the theatrical olllee building at 1180 ISroudwuy Saturday morning und tiled into the otlice of Lawyer Edwin A. Pratt. Mr. Pratt is u stnnll mun und he is nervous, mid he hud prepared to re- eeive the ungry people. Ho hud locked himself hi his private olllee and had a sturdy youth keeping guard at the door. "Good morning," said the boy, "Mr. Pratt will see you iu u minute, und if the ladies und gentlemen will appoint delegates he will see thuin." Several bjhjUii up who wanted to be delegates. Coining Attraction, Widely different from "Tho J Ensign," William Huworth's big naval pluy, Is his lutest effort in dramatic workman ship called "A Nutmeg Match," which will be given ut the Lansing theatre this evening. "A Nutmeg Match" is a domestic drumu of natural type, bright iu diulogue und brisk iu action, well treated and mounted, and 'losscssing a story of interest. The scene is laid in Connecticut und that iswhere it gets its somewhat odd title. Cinders, an un educated yet tender-hearted girl, simple, true und womanly, is the chief tlguro of a most interesting story, which from tho tranquility of pastoral simplicity reaches in places the highest pitch of dramatic -ower. ISriefly tho story tells of the betrayal of Grade Hartley, tho sister ot tho hero,' Willium Hartley, by Tom Stoddurd. Tho girl has left her homo und meets her brother ut the home of Cinders, where he wus called by tho nature ut his busiues, which wus dock building. Cinders fulls in love with Hartley, marries und is happy und unhappy ns the impulsive ness of her nature moves her. During tho action of tho pluy Hartley pursues Stoddard with a determination to uveuge his sistei''s wrong and meets him on the deck of a floating pile-driver. In the stiuggle which ensues, Hartley is knocked senseless, his head placed under the immense weight which Slod dard is about to drop when Cinders opportunely comes to the rescue and drugs her husband .away as the weight- comes crashing down. The scene is said to be one of the most lealistic ever put upon tho stage, One of the most Interesting announce ments for this season is the engage meiit at the Lansing theatre of Thomas Q. Scahiooko and bis opera company and ballet in "Tho Isle of Champagne," by Chus. A.Hyrne und Louis Hurrison, Monday ovoniug October U.'t. No inoro brilliant success has been obtained for many years than that nchioved by Mr. Seabrooko iu his delightfully qtinint and humorous impersonation of the character of King Poininery Sec'nd, the exalted rulerof "The Isleof Champagne," whoso inhabitants are supposed to huve been ignorant ot the use of water as a boverage until accident opens their eyes to its luxurious advantages. Tho story ot the opera is amusing und wholly original, and the scenes und uction udmit of great freedom of design on the part of the urtist. "The Isle of Champagne" overlooked by geographers, lies upon tho billowy bosom ot a soa of tho choicest vintage; wino spouts from its springs and courses in rivulets J through this purudise. There is noi wuter, not even for stock puroses in this very "tight littlo isle." If a tire breaks out the local department wets it down with u stream of golden tlzz, und tho laundry work is done by means ot the same plentiful Unit. Tho curtain rises on the tlrst net, showing a turroted castle, with moat, drawbridge und jnirt cullia coinj lete, lifting its champagne spires into the blue hnzo of a tropical sky, and surrounded by a liowor of vines, erected on it littlo elevation com manding a pel feet view of the ocean beyond, The castle's walls are built Iu Imitation of the wicker work of cham pagne baskets, und the towers urn cham pagne bottles. From tho loop holes the Irregular mid gnutled corks peep tint, while the decorations nil take their model from champagne ussoiiutloiiH. Eight people will uppeur lu Monday night's production, nnd two carloads of scenery will bo used. Robert (1. Ingersoll will deliver his noted led me on "Shnkesprnre" ut tho Lnnslng theatre Wednesday evening. It is said that this is the great lecturer's favorite subject; ut liny rate ills the one which bus brought him the greutest renown. Mr. Ingersoll bus studied Shakespeare with much thoroughness, and his tieatment of tho poet Is such that it will be thoroughly enjoyed by all loveis of the Immortal bard. In gersoll, whose piose Is sonu't-imes ut most puin poetry, is one of the most finished lecturers lu the country, and his presence In Lincoln is all event of unusual Importance. Doniiuin Thompson's "Old Home stead" comes to tho Lansing Friday, October li7, The plot of this fuvorlto pluy is a simple moral story, just the same as a father and mother experience with their children everyday, and is a thread holding together tho moving panorama of city und country life. Is it any wonder thut people Hock to see u play which so cloveily carries them buck o "old times," and which their children enjoy just as much now us they themselves used to? The most remarkable feature of its success is the fact thut it draws among Its patrons many prominent clergymen who huve never before darkened the doors of ti theutie, mid who, In turn, have from their pulpits paid II the highest tribute possible by saying thut the pluy taught a hlgli moral lesson, us stiong and powerful us any they could pleach. This before uuhrtird of endorsnment sends thousands to witness it who huve always looked upon the stage us a place to bo shunned und avoided. "The Old Homestead" will be recorded in the annals of history as tho most successful domestic play ever known, artistically mid financially, auiuriiuy evening ucioner i the Lansing theatre offers the .iscmiid: edition of Chus. Fi oilman's attractions Tor the season lu his great Empire theatre success entitled "The Masked Mall." Fi oilman's attractions are too well known in Lincoln to lequlre ex tended comment. It has long been conceded thut this successful manager never offers anything infnrlortothepiib licuiid with tliisuttractiou there is noex ception to the rule. This will be the initial appearance iu Lincoln of "The Masked Hall" und with Manager Church's assurance us well us ('has. Frohinan's popularity the house will probably lie crowded. ull sociul doings the Nebraska DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU (IAN lilJY IMUli USTATN W ANY DESOKIPTION 0III4APKK AT THE PRES ENT MOMENT THAN YOU EVEN CAN AGAIN.
