The play is *‘Chinese, quite Chinese you know,” and an American audiencs gling rather honelessly with the unfamiliar | names and the yeilow faces, is only just | beginning to know who is who, when ‘the climax is reached. Mr. Powers’ friends say he has studied for months to write and produce ‘“‘The First Born,'’ and every line of his play shows it, for he has actually succeeded in becoming a foreigner in the midst of his own people, who are pleasingly alluded to as ‘‘white devils” throughout the per- formance. The dialogue is written in the Oriental style of flowery compliment and imagery, and contains some very pretty gems of rhetoric, though this rococo style of talk rather cogs the wheels of combination for dramatic purposes. If Francis Powers has succeeded in writing his play from a Chinese stand- point, as far as “white devils'”’ can judge he has been even more successful in put- ting it on the stage “alles same China- town.” The scenery, the dresses, the sounds are those of the Mongolian quar- ter, and by some occult means the ove: powering smells are wafted across the Alcazar's footlights in all their pristine strength. The audience was very much amused at Mi: May Buckley's mincing walk a siavegirl, beld in durance vile, and George Osbourne played a learned doctor, as 1f he had graduated at Canton. A number of other membersof the company were ail more or less successfully guised, most of them more, and the supers were real Chinamen. The audience, for some unexplained reason, received the performance with frantic demonstrations of delight, and Mr. Powers, being called on for a speech, modestly responded by throwing flowe: at George Osbourne and at Mip Long, a Chinese gentieman who was enjoying the performance from a private box and who seemed nowise embarrassed at suddenly being made a putlic character.

Mrs. Dimond still continues along the tight | path that she hopes will ultimately lead her to iavor. Tne audiences at the Auditorium have steadily diminished since the night the lady made her initial bow, and the third week found only s scant audience to revel in her mixed voice and t0o. too solid flesh. The operetta moves along smoothly and tunefuily, and what the choruses have lost in numbers they bave added in excellence. Mrs, Dimond is determined to stick to the stage just as long asshe can charm an uudience into he theater. Her chances are growing daily beautifully less, and now would seem o be the time for the lady’s admirers tocome to the front and cheer her on.

Mr. O'Sullivan, Mr. @’Arcy and all the rest of the cast are making themselves more popular, and the play is siill drawing well. At the Orpheum. Several of last week’'s favorites are still drawing well at the Orpheum. Alexander Tacianu, thesoprano-barytone, is an especiatly applauded performer, and the charming dancing of Fleurette and her four Fieurs de Lis win as many expressive sighs of approval as ev Guille, the operatic tenor, made his re- sppearance lest night. and ssng several popu- iar selections effectively, two other new performers, the Eclair Brothers, did a clever acrobatic act, described on the programmes as “the Crocodile and ihe D:mon.” Unfor- tunately the crocodile spreined his wrist so severely that he will be unable to appesr again for some days.so the Eclair Brothers' act will be replaced by Lillie Laurel, who will sing some of her catchy songs.

Early in ths Evening She Was Light- Hearted and Happy—At Io Sh: Was Dead Mrs, Cicelli Podesta, the mistress of a comfortable home at 1029 Clay street and the mother of six children—ihe oldest 14 years of age and the youngest a tiny baby girl of 18 months —committed suicide last evening at 9:30 o’clogk by drinking a large draught of strychnine. The motive which prompted the deed is a mystery. Mrs, Podesta returned to her room after doing some shopping at 6 o'clock in the evening. Half an hour later her husband, Antone Podesta, who drives a wagon for Cavagnaro's winehouse, returned home, and supper was prepared. During the course of the meal the woman, according 10 Podests, was in the best of humor, her mind apparently being free from any thought of death. At 8 o'clock Podesta retired and his wite stocd on the doorstep conversing and joking with some friends who chanced to pass. The friends left and Mrs. Po- desta walked into her husband’s room. She carried a glass in ber hand and with- out saying a word raised it to her lips and drained its contents. She then called to ber husband, who was in bed, and told him that she had taken poison. Podesta refused to credit the statement for a short time. Mrs. Podesta finally reeled and fell beavily to the floor, and he then knew that her statement was true. He hurried for a physician, but when the phytician arrived it was too late. An antidote administered failed to undo the work of the poison, and in balf en hour the unfortunate woman was dead. The Coroner’s office was then notified, and the body was removed to the Morgue. Mr. Podesta is heartbroken over the | death of bis wife, who was but 20 years of | age, and is at a loss to understand her strange act. “My wife has peen in the best of health for some time,” he said, ‘'and so faras I know her life has been devoid of trouble. She never complained or intimated that her life was other than a happy one, and that is what myatifies me. We never quarreied and what could have prompted her to leave her babies motnerless I witl never know. She must have been tempo- rarily insane.” DR. BARROWS IS HERE.
