DARKTOWN SHOW Williams and Walker’s Aggrega- tion Came to Town at the New York and Showed Some Highly Colored Novelties. OTHER STARS ARE EXCITED. Make Metaphorical Remarks Over the Arrival of Dusky Comedians Who Have Proved Themselves Worthy of Place in Public Favor —— ‘A deep chocolate-colsred shadow fell athwart the Great White Way last night, De Wolf Hopper came to a startled stop in Herald Square, and in a hoarse Pickwicklan whisper inquired: “What can be this unseemly some- thing which eke would blight my his- trionic lustre?" “Hi thinks hits a heclipse, sir,” an- Gwered the dutiful Digby Bell, Weber and Fields rushed out the two- @ollar door of their music hall, aad knocking down three cab horses in the'r mad haste reached the middle of Main Street, up which they gazed with much alarm. “Mike.” beseeched Fields, “vat is bit- ing Broadway?" “It looke like a darkness,"" murmured the imperturbab'e Weber, striking a ‘Twirly match to see if his suspicions were correct. Actors Admit the Snd Fact. At the next corner was Frank Moulan With a telescope and a worried air, “What can it be?" he asked, getting in range with Forty-fourth street, “Lat me take a peep," said George Kingsbury. A moment later he staggered back, and in @ volce dripping with anguish erled: “The Sultan of Sulu, methinks, 1s up @gainst a dark proposition that looks Uke the King of Dahomey!" Sam Bernard stumbled and fell out of the Broadway Theatre, and, holding aloft his magic silver slipper, muttered @ few wizardly things in an effort to Giepel the gathering gloom. But the oharm wouldn't work J Thomas Pineapple Seabrooke, with a ‘Mire. “Stuy” Fish halo encircling his honored head, reached the car-tracks and gezed anxtously into the heavens His chir. fell upon his breast as he moaaned: “*h Chinese Honeymoon’ has set! Closing b ow any loose sections of the subway, James T. Powers side-stepped into the thoroughfare and opened wide his eyss of blue. “Oh woe. oh me!" he wept, “I am s0 close to the truth that I can explain tne Phenomenon! ‘What {s it?’ came tn chorus from the cringing crowd of comedians down the street, “Willams and Walker into Brosdwa he shouted, @ank limp and lifeless into the arms o two of the most beauteous Jewels of Asis.

He has been cremated, as is the custom with all mad dogs or dogs that are supposed to be mad. Before send- Ing the dog to the crematory Dr. George |Rambaud, chief of staff in the Pasteur [Institute, opened the dog's skuil and |took from the base of the brain some of the virus, With this he inoculated two radblts, and the rabbits are now on the [back porch of the Institute being |watched carefully for symptoms of rabies. Whether the dog wan mad or not Is @ question that will be answered by the rabbits, ‘Terror in dogs is often mis- taken for rables, and a terror-stricken |doz chased as this one was by a mob of jSeveral hundred people was extremely likely to bite and snap in self-defense at any one that came near him. What Started It a Mystery. Just what started the dog on his wild carear js not known. Policeman Robert | |Maguire, of the Leonard street station, | | who was the first person bitten by the dog, said to-day that he passed the dog in front of No. 4§ Hudson street, and that the dog was then lying quietly on tha sidewalk, What happened after he |passed the dog he does not know. Ali taat he does know is that he was sud- | denly attacked and thrown into a sno bank by the animal. So savage was t! attack that the policeman was unable [to extricate himself until some other people had driven the do; Ma- |guire was severely bitten In the lip. After beng driven from the policeman | the dog, pursued by a crowd of men and bovs, ran through West Broadway to Leonard street, to Elm, to Canal, back through Centre street to Mulberry Bend, where hundreds of calldren were | playing, this time there were hun. | ‘n and boys in pursult.

The otners were treated at the Pasteur In- stitnte, Pollceman Maguire was most seriously injured. He will receive the treatment for twenty-one days.
