Miss d’Arville’s | manager recently had lithographs distributed which heralded Miss d’Arville as “The Quecn of Comic Opera.” Thisseemingly innocent ex- | pression stirred up a hornet’s nest which had | for its location the camp of Miss Hall. 1t seems | that Miss Hall’s business manager, Duncan B. | Harrison, has copyrighted that epithet as the exclusive property of Miss Hall, and he has made all sorts of threats, which he has backed by legal documents, for the purpose of having Miss @’Arville tear down thet particular com- | bination of words as applying to herself. There is a plaint that reaches one, even from musical Italy, that the cafe-chantant | (music-hall) artist is sweeping all before him, and that the “her” of the genus is iastic audiences which have nightly wel- comed Peter Dailey and his company it seems as if in America the variety artist was being welcomed on the legitimate stage with open arms. “A Country Sport” Company is a very clever one, but is, with scarcely an exception, a company of vari- ety artists, whose native heath, outside of vatdeville, is the music hall.

It is mild to say that Mr. Mack’s vocal methods are tricky, for they consist of indulgence in the ntriloquial and falsetto effects which have ever endeared the cork-blacked minstrel to the heart of a display-loving public. : As for the great Peter Dailey himself, he is irresistible in his own line of acting. and like all his company, he ‘“‘gangs his ain gait” through the piece as unconcernedly as if he were a solo artist and had little or no connection with the other performers. In his singing Peter does not attempt Andrew Mack's vocal fireworks and sky- | rockets; he sings, as Italian maestros would express it, “comme Deo vuole,” which means that he is_entirely untrammeled by any tedious vocal method and simply sings as he tal The rest of the company act on pretty much the same lines as their clever principals, except Ada Lewis, and her right spk stage.

However, the stock company had nothing to do with the fact that **A Barrel of Money” stopped short, almost as ab- ruptly as the grandfather’s clock of the popular song. The stock company did its part briliiantly, showing an amount of vivacity and fun that was not to be ex- pected from people who are habitually plunged in the crime and despair of melo- drama. Clever little Miss Edna Hall proved her- self to be such an artless and charming ingenue that it is to be hoped she will again have an opportumty of appearing in the same line of character.

GRAND OPERA-HOUSE, First American Production of “The White Star.” The members of Morosco’s stock com- pany are to return to their first love to- morrow night and play melodrama again. In “The White Star,”’ however, the pall of gloom which hangs over so many ap- proved melodramas will be pierced by a good deal of fun. Indeed, to express it idered sacred to | more forcibly than elegantly, “the comedy music halls and pan- | ¢jement will be on top.” “The White Star” will be given for the first time in America, though it has already | proved_successful in England. It is by Tom Craven, whose plays, ‘‘The Stow- the “Village ¥orge” and ‘‘Fugi- " have_already achieved considerable popularity in America. The new produc- tion is said to be fuil of vigor and to be quite on a par with the author’'s former works. William Burress, who is establishing «lune a reputation at the Grand as a come- dian, will play Dr. Valentine, a part brim- ful of laughter. iss Hall will return to her native heath and play a heavy role, though it is to be hoped that her recent successful incursion into the realm of comedy will not be her last.

The Columbia Theater, under the man- agement of Friedlander, Gottlob & Co., will be formally opened on Monday evening, May 13. The stock company, which will be under that excellent actor T. Daniel Frawley, is composed of Eastern artists, who have held engagements with well-known com- | panies, and its repertoire will comprise a k would have been a more | number of plays by modern dramatists. The management, by special arrangemont with A. M. Palmer, Charles and Daniel Frohman, Augustine Daly, Henry T. French, and other leading Eastern man- agers, has the right to produce a number of success Among them are: “The nator,”” “All the Comforts of Home,” Sweet Lavender,” “The Charity Ball,” “The Idler,” “Captain Swift,” “Nancy & ’’ “Railroad of Love,’ * Pique,” “Moths,” and many others. The company includes the following artists: Hope Ross, Jennie Kennark, Phosa McAllister, Belle Archer, Blanche L. Bates, T. Charles W. King, R. J. Duffield, George W. Leslie, Charles Dade and Fred Tjader, Hudson on, Frank Wyngate and Brig- ham Royce. The opening attraction will & s be William Gilette’s comedy, ‘‘All the Comf erts of Home.’ OFFENBACH'S " BRIGANDS." The Comic Opera to Be Produced at the Tivoli. Offenbach’s “‘Brigands,” which has not been given in this city for five years, will be produced at the Tivoli to-morrow even- ing. The libretto possesses a fund of comedy, and the music is written in Offen- | bach’s usual bright and fetching style. Most of the Tivoli stock company appear in the cast. Phil Branson will be thor- oughly at home as Falsacappa, the chief of a fashionable band of Italian brigands, who l MOROSEOS ' T DANIEL FRAWLEY especially fitted to give a well-defined in- terpretation of the various roles. ““The Ameérican Girl” is a play that con- tains several good acting parts. One of the best of them is Ross Bolter, a role which is considered one of the most suc- cessfulin George Osbourne’s repertory, and, as the song says, *“There Are Others,” for this comedy drama is by no means a one- character play. Itsplot is a simple one, though it gives riseto some good dramatic situations. A young Englishman marries a pretty American girl, under an as- sumed name, for family reasons. Circum- stances call him to London, where he as- sumes his own cognomen -and thus be- comes as lost to his family on this side of the Atlantic as if the big city had swal- lowed him up. Meanwhile the wife has been made home- becoming simply irresistible. : ess by the machinations of a jealous for- ‘When one looks at the large and enthus- | mer lover, whom. she had rejected, and who in revenge forecloses a mortgage that he holds on her home. Her letters, which are iaddreased in the assumed- name, never reach her husband, and his letters to her are returned as she is-no more at the old homestead. Many are the pathetic scenes which the situation of the husband vainly seeking his wife, and the wife vainly seek- ing her husband, give rise to.

Ferris Hartman, Arthur Messmer, John J. Raffael, George Olmi, Thomas C. Leary and other Tivoli favorites are also in the cast. The bright little opera will be well dressed and staged. Following the “Brigands’’ comes that favorite operetta ‘‘La Fille de Mme. Angot.”" AT THE ORPHEUM. American Debut of Two Celebrated Equilib- rists From Paris, The great novelty at the Orpheum to- morrow will be the first American appear- ance of the equilibrists, Constanz and Ida. These performers, who are said to perform remarkable feats of agility, come direct from the Folies Bergeres, Paris, and were quite a feature of the performances during the winter. The trans-Atlantic character - comedian and dancer, John E. Drew, will also make his Orpheum debut. He combines dancing and acting with vocalism, and manages to throw a good deal of mirth and interest into his impersonations. Brown, Harrion and Kalkasa, who played at the Orpheum a few weeks ago, and won the approval of the audience, will appear _again to-morrow in fresh travesties. McBride and Flynn, the Celtic entertainers. begin their second week’s engagement with new songs and dances, wEi e the Rays and Binns intro- duce fresh specialties. 3 On May 6 a special attraction is an- nounced at the Orpheum in the shape of a big spectacular extravaganza and vaude- ville company, consisting of forty artists, This troupe comes direct from New York. THE WATER CARNIVAL. Effects That Have Been Designed by Loocal Artists. The Water Carnival and Circus Royal will be under the personal supervision of John A. Stanton and Amedee Joullin, the well-known local artists, to-morrow night. For the last two weeks they have been de- signing part of the programme and arrang- ing artistic effects, and everything is now ready for producing what i said to be a most striking water spectacle. A number of skilful performers will as- sist in the performance. THE MACDONOUGH THEATER. Files and Belagco’s Popular Play the Next Attraction. “The Girl I Left Behind Me’’ goes to the Macdonough Theater, Oakland, to-morrow night. It is one of the most successful of modern dramas, the Indian attack being especially thrilling and dramatic, without being repulsive or sanguinary. There are also several pretty love stories in the play. On May 6 and 7 Peter Dailey and his company play at the Macdonough, and on May 10 Fritz Scheel gives a grand operatic concert there. A California Trilby. The Philadelphia Sunday Item says: Eleanor Barry is furnishing undeniable evidence that talent and merit sooner or later win their way to the front and obtain recognition. At present the handsome and versatile actress is playing one of the lead- ing parts in Mrs. Langtry’s company, the tour of which is nearing its end in Can- ada. Miss Barry has been engaged to play ““Trilby" in one of the Palmer-Brady coni- binations for «_tour_of principal Eastern citi company will probably go to the coast.

A Belgian Violinist. On May 13 Ysaye, the well-known Bel- gian violinist, will appear at the Baldwin Theater with his concert company. SPANNING THE OONTINENT. European 8uccess of Calder’s “Span of Life'! Company. William Calder, who returned recently from his European trip, says the N. Y. Mirror, is delighted with the success of his “‘Span of Life” production at the Flemish Theater in Brussels, where it is likely to remain on the bili for many months to come. While in Brussels Mr. Calder was called before the curtain each evening at the end of the sensational “span” scene. On the evening of the fourth representation, after Teceiving his usual call, he was surprised to find himself virtually arrested on the stage by the manager of the State Theater, who presented him with a magnificent laurel wreath in hammered silver, asa testimony of the appreciation of his efforts and kindness to all concerned in the pro- duction of the play. On the wreath was inscribed “Honor to. William_ Calder. A tribute of esteem and friendship from the artists and staff of the Flemish Theater, Brussels.” William Calder tells the following story of his tour: “On my recent visit to Berlin and Brussels I was accompanied by Sutton Vane. While attending a performance of ‘The Span of Life’ in the National Theater, in Berlin, an elderly gentleman entered into_conversation with him. On ascer- taining that Mr. Vane was an Englishman and could not converse in the language of the Vaterland, the Teuton proceeded to explain in ‘broken’ English every incident of the first act as it progressed. winding up with the observation that it was no doubt a dull and uninteresting perform- ance to one possessing no knowledge of German. ‘It would be, no doubt,” re- sponded Mr. Vane, ‘were T not the author of the piece myself.” There was no further explanation of the dramatic incidents.” INDICATING THE e, LEVEL OF RESERVOIRS AND SEwERs ErrcTricALLY.—Thenew elec- tric reservoir level indicator has been evolv- ed from a succession of some of the greatest disasters of history. As a leading engineer- ing authority points out, if it had been practicable for the engineer in charge to obtain instantaneous and reliable informa- tion of fluctuations in the water level of a reservoir a few miles away, even within the last fifty years. the bursting of in- numerable dams might have been pre- vented, and thousands of lives and millions worth of property might have been saved. In countries were there is little or no frost it has been possible to do this approxi- mately by means of pipes. This plan an- swers fairly well where there is neither frost nor leakage, either of which may make the indicating apparatus inoperative -or misleading. hin satisfactory to know that all uncertainty as to the transmission of intelligence, on which such serious issues often depend in the conservation of large bodies of water, can now be eliminated. Electricity is now recognized as the one safe and sure register of reser- voir levels. The latest form in which it has been utilized is an appar- atus consisting of a transmitter and a receiver, or indicator, of whicn the former is at the reservoir, and the latter at the pumping station, or engineer’s office. The receiver can be duplicated, soas to give information at any number of places sim- ultaneously. The transmitting apparatus is enclosed in an iron_cylinder, to secure freedom from oscillation. It consists of a float, counterpoised by a weight to which it is aunched%y a chain passing over a pulley. This pulley is keyed on a shaft working the transmitter, which is ar- ranged to register each inch of rise or fall, or any smaller degree of viriation if de- sired. The rising or falling of the float, and the consequent movement backward or forward of the shaft, actuate an elec- trical commutator and a record is instantly to make the usual four trephine openings into the skull, and to insert a broad strip of silver gently into one of the openings and work it along between the brain and the skull until it protrudes from the next hole, thus forming a shield between the brain and the skull, which obviates all danger of accident from the slipping of the instrament by which the portion of the skull is to be excised. A minute circular saw, operated by electricity, is then brought into use, A cut is then made from one trephined hole to the other. and a second cut is made about one-eighth of an inch from the first. The intervening bone is re- moved and the brain is exposed. Two more cuts are made between the other tre- phined holes, the bone removed, the silver strips withdrawn, the flaps of scalp drawn back and stitched and the requisite band- ages applied. Ordinarily, the operation lasts about twenty-five minutes. The great success which has attended these opera- tions is attributed by Dr. Powell almost en- tirely to the great delicacy of treatment rendered possible by the electric saw. He thinks the operation has come to stay. It is not claimed that it will change idiots into persons of much mental capacity, but beyond guestion they can be improved so much in mind and brain that they will not be burdens to their friends and relatives, as idiots but too often are. The electric saw used weighs less than an ounce, and it can be operated aa delicately as a scalpel. WHAT A GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH SERVICE Courp Do.—Patrick B. Delany, a veteran telegrapher, thinks that the Government could do the work now covered by the postal service vastly better by means of the telegraph. Of course radical changes will have to take place. At presentitcosts the telegraph companies 3 cents to bring a message from a customer to the office and another 3 cents to deliver it. As this rate is based on an average of twenty words per minute with hand transmission and sixty words per minute with the quadru- plex working, it is easy to understand that the companies cannot telegraph for less than existing rates. But hand working and great numbers of cheap wires will soon e things of the past. Automatic systems and a few big copper wires reaching out to the principal cities will have a vastly in- creased eapacity, and will before long be emploved to carry quantities of corre- spondence which at present we do not dream of. There are about 30,000 letters exchanged between New York and Chicago daily. ‘Assuming that they average fifty words each, all could be telegraphed over two copper wires the size of a lead pencil. It has been demonstrated that with the automatic chemical method 1000 words per minute can be recorded perfectly be- tween New York and Chicago over a 1-ohm per mile wire. Messages can be perforated at the rate of twenty-five words per min- ute, and typewriters can print from the re- ceived tape at the same speed. On this basis, letters of fifty words could be perfora- ted, transmitted, printed and delivered through the mails at a cost of about 5 cents. PreserviNG TELEGRAPH PoLes.—The per- fecting of the creosoting of wood process has proved a godsend to telegraph compa- nies. Telegraph poles intended for the tropics are invariably creosoted. The tim- ber is run into cylinders, which are then hermetieally sealed with immense iron heads. Steam is then admitted into the cylinder and surrounds the timber. The temperature is raised by passing super- heated steam through coils within the cyl- inder, until the timber is heated all through at a temperature just high enough not to injure the woody fibers. The vacuum pumps are put to work and all the sap and moisture in the cylinder is ex- hausted, heat being still maintained in the coils to prevent the vapor from condensing and remaining in the timber. After this the oil is admitted into the cylinders while they are under vacuum and a heavy pres- sure is maintained until the requisite amount of oil, which is determined by gauges and thermometers, has been forced into the timber. The oil arrests decay for an indefinite period, but to have every part of the timber saturated is expensive and unnecessary. Provided that the tim- ber is treated by the heat and vacuum pro- cess, if the crevices and pores are sealed up with the oil to a_suificient depth the timber is as good as if the heart has been thoroughly permeated. IxcANDESCENT Lamp CLEANER.—Many people blame the central station for the poor light from their incandescent lamps, when the fault is really their own; they al- low their lamp to be dirty. It has been shown that one day’s accumulation ot dust on incandescent bulbs cuts off 5 per cent of the light, so the result of a few days’ neglect can easily be guessed. Asa means of removing, to ‘a great extent, the fre- quent complaints of poorness of light a cen- tral station recommends the use of a lamp cleaner which greatly facilitates the process of dusting the bulbs. To a three-foot handle is attached a strong wire frame- work, which carries a number of felt mit- tens. By forcing the frame over each lamp and giving the handle a few turns the dust on the glass is removed, leaving the bulb as clean as when it left the factory. Each cleaner is provided with a set of rubber friction pads that will, when suitably placed on the mittens, remove and replace burned out lamps. The handle can be extended so as toreach lampsatany distance. This de- vice makes the cleaning of lamps a very quick and easy task. NEW TO-DAY.

BrAIN SurGERY FOR IDIOTS.—An opera- tion has been performed in New York by means of an electrical saw which seems to indicate a distinct advance in brain sur- gery. Itis well known that idiocy is often caused by the premature closing of certain soft bones in the heads of children, where by the growth of the brain is obstructed. The usual treatment is to take a piece of the skull bone from the top of the head, and thus afford the cramped brain an op- Kommity to expand. Heretofore the bone as been cut out with a punch, somewhat resembling a conductor’s punch, but this method was so jarring to the brain that the resultant shock nearly always killed the patient. The new method, which has ‘been successfully practiced by Dr. 8. B.
