f ‘ GUSSIE KEE S LAD AWA ALL IN WHITE ‘Pool-Room Queen Had Request- ed that at Her Funeral No Sombre Colors or Signs of ! Mourning Should Find any | Place. ——__ HER WISH IS CARRIED i OUT TO THE LETTER. Room Is Draped in White, Or- chids, Carnations and Roses ' of White Surround Her Bier, , and Her Body Is Robed in a: * Beautiful White Lace Dress. | The dying request of Gussie McKee, known tn sporting circles as the Pool- Room Queen, that no expense be spared to make her funeral artistic, was ca Ted out to the letter to-day at her late home, No. 118 West Forty-seventh street. Miss MoKee, when informed by her Physician that her death might be Mmomentanly expected, sent for her eousin, Willlam W. Webb, of Indian- @polls, who she appointed executor of her estate. She sald to him: “Will, 1 Want a fine funeral and an artistic one, I want a white funeral, I have always hated black and all the sombre colors, #0 please seo that everything is white.” The funeral services were conducted en the main floor of the house asd everything was white, Originally the rooms had been done in white. ‘The wainscoating was white enamel and the walls were covered with white satin @amask. Large oval mirrors set in frames of cream white enamel accenta- @ted the drilllancy of wally and trin- ming. Coffin White with Silver, The coffin in which Miss McKee lay was all white. The outer sides wen covered with snow-white broadcloth nd the interior with white satin. Hugs ailver handles ornamented the sides the casket and the cover bore a platt inecribed “Gussie McKee." Banks of white orchids and wreath of white roses and carnations surround: @d the casket. From the cefling hung intertwining festoons of white flowers end all along the walls towering plants with white blooms had been set. The General white effect was enhanced by & background of palms in the rear room. | The predominating flower was orchid! and the stifling penfume of this exotic. together with the heat in the room, made conditions almom unbearable. ‘There were not more than a dozen pres- ent when the funeral service was read by the Rev. Dr. Bell. of the Union Meth. dist Church, Broadway and Thirty. eighth strect. Among those present were Mrs. Lydia Dodd, Miss McKee's sister; her cousin, Mr. Webb, and a few women, whose identity was unknown, but who wept almost hysterically at tho bier, ‘The colored servants who had been em- ployed by the Pool-Room Queen for many years were also present. Sang ‘‘Nearer My God to Thee.” After a few prayers had been said over the dead, Dr. Bell announced that Miss Collins Summers, a_ well-known choir singer, would sing Miss McKe favorite hymn, ‘Nearer My God to (Phee."" ‘The hymn was sung without ac- companiment and in the close, perfumed it had an unusually melon- t in @ lave dress that Mr. Webb said had cost $9. She wore no jewelry, Her hands clasped over her breast a tiny epray of sweet peas that had been put there by_an old colored woman who had Dursed Miss McKee in her childhood @nd throughout her last illness. ‘After the ceremonies the casket was earried the hearse by the under- taker's assistants. The hearse was white and drawn by two snow white horses The interment took place in Woodlawn, az it was found impossible to fuifll Miss foKee's request that she be buried on Broadway. Mr. Webb said after the funeral that he-had incurred an expense of $3,000 to arry out the dying wishes of his cousin.

CHICOT TO JOHN KERNELL: GIVE US MORE NEW JOKES. Some of the Features of the Present Week's Bill at Tony Pastor's, John Kernel! has two new jokes and This is a remarka- bly good recon! for Mr. Kernell, About two years ago he laid in an almost new act, and since j that time orted himpelf a little in the procurement of fresh material. ‘These two new jokes may mark the dawn y mean simply that of a new era or may somebody told him to. Kernell is the leading attraction at Tofy Pastor's Theatre this week. As usual he ls a tremendous hit; partly because Mr. Pastor's patrons are loyal to old acquaintances and partly be- cause he possesses the happy faculty of making rehearsed impromptus sound lke the genuine article. Nothing 90 pleases an audiehces as a little guying between the performer and the pianist. Kernell, appretating this fact, makes his principal comedy bid with Jokes between himself and the man at the music box. He has a serlas of Jokes which were good when new and some parodies which are sumM™- clently well established in the chestnut class to be available as filling for tho Thanksgiving turkey. It ts very much to be regretted that Mr. Kernell does not use them for stuffing instead of employing them as monologue material. With a smart fashion of telling jokes, he should find it worth his while to tell good ones, Edward F. Reynard announces his farewell week In America, This stat ment thet Mr. Reynard ts going “awoly from here merely means that probably he will not be seen here before next May. But he !s to tour the country next season with the road show at- tached to the Western Orpheum cir cult, Perostving Ghat the audiences lke trick effects, he makes fis act al- most entirely a trick one. His jokes are not as fresh as his tricks, Fyne and Dandy have a comedy acrobatic act. The probabilities are that they were not christened by that name, but they seom to feel that thelr adopted titles are descriptive of their act and they get along very well with their specialty, Harry and Sadie Fields have a new sketch, ‘This desirable end has been uchleved by the simple process of cut- ting out a little material and letting Harry Fields play a Hebrew part throughout, He is using very nearly the same dialogue, but has improved the dancing a little. He has had to cut out his old German an almost new sons. | has ex-| | warbling, having lost his votce through | exceswive smoking, but he does very wi with an east wide char although he branch out with In his seloction of a c| ax follow I and |lacks the axsurance t & new type. too closely the accepted familiar with various type auld have made this @ really important offer- Ing. Their best work comes at the finish of the sketch, when they indulge in a bur- lesque “kosateka” with real characte | tstie muste, James and Bonnie Farley have a specialty in which Farley plays a familiar messenger boy with acrobatle trimniings. Miss Farley appears first as a small child, and later in long skirts makes a far better appearance. She pomsesses a bright face with plenty of expression, but she is several pounds overweight when she endeavors to por- tray 2 smail child, She should wear her second costume throt ghout the plece, no matter if she docs imagine that she is exceptionally well fitted to the repre- sentation of juvenile types The sketch is a medley of several other sketch oftereings and employs a number of time-worn comedy devices, There is the cigarette which turns out to be a equal antiquity. Practically nothing 1s new. The Sanford Sisters indulge in a mu- sical performance, except when the) sing. Some one who has the ford Interests close at heart should break it gently to the sisters that taeir singing is not altogether good. ‘They probably mean very well when they break forth in song, but it fy not the way to gain the good will of the audience. If they must sing let them do so witain the sacred precincts of their home, and not force the audience to share thelr sor- well, but should cut out the instrument resembling the flageolet, and incident- ally they might pick up a better class of music. Antrim and Peters work as a sketch to keep the audience from realizing that Harry Peters 1s actually performing an imitation, specialty, He has a unique fashion of introducing instrumental and animal imitations. As an example, the scene is a restaurant; he is served ‘with C88}, and breaks one into a cup. | Pre- tending that the eg is none too fresh, he remarks that it i@ a bird. Ques: tioned as to the ornithological classil- cation, he remarks taat It is a mooking ot imitate the same. This Is better than the familiar spe- th "My next imitation,’ but seek to offer more of a ¢ they” should aketch. Allen and Delmain have one of those almost forgotten offerings the old-time actors used to speak of as a “society kit.” Their songs are so old that the music paper on which they are written 1s black with age, and their humor is found in the fact’ that the man comes home drunk and hes trolible with ‘le wife. * ‘There are quite a number of other Specialties by Halley and Meehan, Ham- ilton and ley, Morris and’ Daly, Charles and Fannie Van, Lawrence and Sylvester and the American Vitagre ne ICOT, FIRE DRIVES BIG - CROWD TO STREET Started Among Artists’ Ma- ' terials in East Side Factory ‘ Building and Evicted Occu- pants of Lodging-Houses.

Yenoit & Co., manufacturers of ar- tists’ material, from spontaneous com- bustion, it is thought. it was first dis- covered by lodgers in the Central Lodg- ing-House, on Forty-second street, which is in the rear of the factory, Be- fore the firemen reached the scene the {inflammable contents of the floor were burning flercely. A second and a ehird alarm were turned in, ‘The 125 lodgers in the adjoining lodg- Ing-house were turned into the street. In the vicinity of the factory are a number of tenements, and the occupants of these speedily Joined the half-dressed crowd in the street. The upper floors of the factory are occupied by the Standard Specialty and Tube Company. Much of their stock and machinery wae damaged by the fire and heat, The lower floor of the building ia oc- cupled by D. Pereira & Mayer. They sustained slight damage by smoke and water. The damage is said to be esti- mated at $5,000, most of it being sus- talned by A.'V.'Benolt & Co, Soon after this fire was out the auto- matic alarm in the McKesson & Robbing wholesale drug house, Nos. v1 to 97 Fulton street, summoned the firemen to a slight fire on one of the upper floors | to do except to shut off the automatic sprinkler which was damaging the stock, fire, too, is supposed t, have been caused by spontaneous com: bustion. plece of fireworks and many other bits of | row. ‘They play some instruments very { When they got there they had but little, O/and Avenue A MBS, EWELL ASKS OPENCOURT TAIL Wife of the United States Ap- praiser Refuses to Consent to Hearing of Divorce Suit Be- f \ fore a Referee. SHE WANTS MORE ALIMONY. In Her Cross-Sult She Names Several Co-respondents, and Says a Ser- vant at Their Home Got Her Hus- band Under Her Influence. Lawyer Louls J. Grant, counsel for Mrs. Caroline L, Jewell, the wife of Col James A. Jewell, a United States Ap- ‘praiser with a salary of $7,000 a year, applied to Justice Scott In the Supreme {Court to-day for $250 a month temporary alimony and a counsel fee of $750 pend- jing the trial of an action for an abso- lute diveree brought by Jewell against Mrs. Jewell and her counter-sult against him, in which she names several co- [respondents Lawyer Clossen opposed the motion and asked that tho case be sent to a referee, alleging that Lawyer Grant had already entered into a stipulation to that effect. Grant, he sald, had agreed to a reference on condition that his {client should receive $10 a month all- vf $00, which had been paid him. Lawyer Grant said this motion was to Increase the allmony and also counsel fee, as the agreement for w reference of Col. Jewell had been such that Mrs, Jewell wished a@ trial in open court, so that her character might be pub- Uely vindicated. Grant said that Col. Jewell deserted his wife on the pre- tense that he was golng away on a busfhese trip, whereas he really went away with a servant. “I wag personally willing that case should be tried by a referee, Grant, “but expressly stated that such a trial could only be had with the con- sent of Mre, Jewell, Immediately after- ward Col, Jewell went to Laconia, where his wife was staying, and made unfounded charges against her. They came to her ears and she then positively refused to consent to a referee and de- manded that the case be tried in open court."* the expenso, and as the amount of alimony received by Mrs, Jewell was not in pro- portion to his salary and income, Grant asked that It be increased. tc Soott aud he would and counsel tee to stand as at present and reserved his decision on the application for @ refer- ence, Lawyer Grant submitted an affidavit by Mrs. Jewell in which she said her t ‘hand's allegations were false and ridiculous and “for the sole purpose of Justifying his heartless conduct toward hor to hie official superiors. Mrs, Jewell sold that a servant in ner house had secured an Influence over him, which made him place ber in ree of their home. “He ignored me almost entirely,” Mrs. Jowell, “and made it sometimes necersary for me to go to her in order household ex- sald to obtain money for penaes.""
