Charles Theatre last night. At to-day's matiucti he will repeat his Impersonation of Cardinal Wolsey In "Henry VIII." This morning the salo of seats will open for the engagement of the farce comedians. Ward and Yokes, who played to the largest business of any attraction that visited the St Charles Theatre last season. Of these people the Cleveland Plain Dealer says: "Ward and Yokes were greeted in 'A Run on the Bank' at the Lyceum last night bv an audience that fully tested the seating and standing room capacity of the theatre. The audience was an enthusiastic one and demonstrated Its interest in more ways than one.

A Kun on the Bank' has been Improved In the line of specialties, at least, since its lust visit here. It has a little more ginger, the Jokes are fresher and the music a trifle better. All this combines to add fresh interest to the performance. Ward and Yokes seem to have an unlimited drawing capacity and certan-ly those who incline toward the class of entertainment furnished by these gentlemen cannot complain of a lack of fun. There is no percptible head or tall to the performance.

It is a mixture of everything in the vaudeville line, divided into three doses. Ward and Yokes do the same act. with little if any variation. Charles Guyer is a valuable acquisition, while Gilliertie Learock makes a 'catchy' book agent. Margaret Daly-Vokes' impersonation of Sassy Moll is a clever piece of work.

Tony Williams' Gen. Note Shaver Is also clever. The comnanv is a strong one and kept the house iu constant laughter all evening." Grand Opera Honse. The Whitney Opera foropany In the pretty and tuneful opera, "Rob Roy," continues to attract good-sized a tbe Grand Opera House. The matinee yestarday was well attended, and the audience In the evening was a good one, although It fell corsiderably short of being what the merits of the opera and the company presenting it deserved.

This morning the sale of seats will begin for the engagement of Bancroft, the magician, who will open next Sunday night. Mr. Ed L. Bloom, nnder whose management Bancroft will make his first appearance before a New Orleans audience, is well known here as one of the most successful managers of attractions of this kind In America. His long and successful management of Herrmann may be assumed to have given him a thorough Insight Into the demands of the public for magic, and that be is willing to stand as sponsor for this new master of magic must of necessity serve as a reassuring introduction for Bancroft and the attractions with which he is surrounded.

The Atlanta Constitution of last Tues day thus describes the entertainment: "Ills entertainment combines scenic effects, tertisichorean specialties, Japanese Jugglery, with sleight-of-hand and higher class magic. Bancroft, however. Is the life and soul of tue show, lie la a master of his art, and besides being a master, he is un inventor. He did numerous acts that have never been seen here before. Even in the threadbare matter of card tricks he produced ncveliles that were ootb amusing and rn.rstil.tlu;.

"His skull trick is a A human skn 1 one thousand years old "to Mr. Ban-cro c's personal knowledge, is placed Umiii a sueet ot glass sucn a manner as to preclude the possibility of electrical connection, or to admit connection with strings or wires without the knowledge of the audience. The skull is then made to do some Intricate calculations, and answer questions, by rapping with its lower jawbone upon the glass. A column of figures compiled by several gentlemen In the audience without Bancroft's seeing them is added by the skull before the person in the audience holding the card upon which the figures are written has com pleted an addition. It Is one of the best tricks ever seen here.

"After the first part, little 'Wee Wee Cubltt does some clever dandnz. She is little bit cf a tot. but she dunces the sailor's hornpipe in a splendid manner. "Part second presents Satsuma. a Japanese Juggler of wonderful accomplishments, and It is hardly possible that his acts are surpassed even in his own coun try, where jugglers attain to perfection.

"Part third is taken np by Bancroft's presentation of the midnight mysteries of the Yogi of India. and the illusion Is thorough and complete. A woman appears. She is covered with a sheet In the centre of the stage. A wave of the wand and though she still appears to be standing there, when tbe sheet Is withdrawn she gone.

"The scenic effects In the fourth part are beautiful. Bancroft presents many new features In the war of slelght-of- hand which give the spectators much to wonder at. One of the best tricks traa with a card selected from tbe middle of a pack by a person In the audience From two cards thus selected one was chosen on a call from the audience, and the party holding the card tore It Into eight pieces, keeping one of them. The magician took the seven pieces, and In a moment one of the ushers brought him a sealed envelope, which another party was requested to hold. The seven pieces were then made to disappear as if Into the envelope, and In a moment when tbe enve lope was torn open a earq wns taken out with one piece gone.

That piece was In the hands of the other party, and fitted exactly. These and many other mysterious tricks are performed with ease and facility, the whole concluding with a hesn- tlful tableau called the 'home or magic. Academy of Mnate. Lole Fuller appeared before two large audiences yesterday, the Academy of Mu sic being well fii'ed for both matinee and evening performances. The popularity of this wonderful dansense appears to be steadily increasing, as attested by the im provement in the site of her audiences.

This morning the sale of seats will open for the engagement of Roland Reed, who will begin his engagement at this popular playhouse next Sunday evening. This pop ular comedian nowhere more popular than In New Orleans, and It may be doubt ed If any actor visits this city who has more local admirers. Sunday night he will present his latest (and some say his greatest) success, "The Wrong Mr. Wright." Mr. Reed will be supported as formerly by the charming and sprightly Isadore Rush, Mrs.

Myers and other favorites Identified with his former engage ments, and to these he has this season added Mr. Charles Coote, a clever comedian, who made a very favorable impression here a few years ago as the leading feature in one of Charles Frohiuan's com panies. Ot Mr. Keed, bis new play and his com pany, the Pittsburg Dispatch says: "Iu 'The Wrong Mr. Wright" Roland Reed has a new piay giving to him a character that is entirely dissimilar to those of Richard Suiythe, iu or his later productions.

'The Politician," and 'Lend Me V'our The piece is by George II. a young newspaper man of Chicago, and it is uu up-to-date comedy, which was evidently written with a view of bringing out the strong points of Mr. Reed aim Miss Isadore Rusn, who are the central figures in the cast. In this the author has accomplished his purpose, as these leaders of American comedy have a piece that is most adequate and finished in every detail. "There is not a dull or stereotyped situ ation from the first to the last scene of the three acts, snd throughout the whole there ruus a veil, of dramatic interest that keeps the audience eagerly guessing as to what is going to happen next.

"As a piece of character acting, Mr. Reed's rendition of the leading character in his new play must fake rank with the best work that he has done. In his efforts he Is ably assisted by Sheridan Tupper. who lmierso'iates Wayland Clingstone, t'harles Coote as Lord Braienface. and Miss Rush as Henrietta Oliver.

Julian Reed as Front, the bell boy, won his way into Immediate favor. "The au lienee last night taxed the seating capacity of the theatre, and was fully in touch with tbe humorous lines and situations, and responded with liberal applause. There was a hearty curtain call after each act. The costumes and accessories were all that eouid be desired. "Not the least delightful feature of the performance wis the singing of plantation melodies by Miss Isadore Rnsbl" DROPPED HIS BUNDLE.

Knights of the Ancient Essenlc Order, was Instituted last evening at Odd Feliows' Hall, and has at once taken rank with, the most energetic of the bodies of like character located in New Orleans.

In connection with the meeting a well-prepared address was delivered by the Rev. Frederick A. Roehl. of Orleans Senate No. After elaborating upon the Easeuics iu ancient history, the speaker applied himself to the growth of the order of the present day as follows: "What right have we to take the name of that ancient Jewish sect? We need not.

of course, make any apologies for it, but It sometimes becomes necessary to explain these things to others. Let me beg you, nrst ol au, not to attempt iu niaWoutsiders and strangers believe that we come down In a distinct line from that sect. Nothing would be gaiued by that assertion, even could it be proved, which It cannot. We have no record of It. and we here all know better.

That sort of thing only brings an association into disrepute and suspicion. Far grander and far more commendable Is the tenable claim that we stand iu moral, or. as It were, in spiritual succession with that tine old society. We discard from their usages all that is not consistent with modern ideas, and we follow their deepest and best principles those that are impulses toward the forming of good lives. The proof of this rests entirely with each one of us.

It will be seen to be true, if we carry out those obligations to which we have bound ourselves. "And so we have built up here. In this country, and strive to Introduce throughout the world. The Ancient Essenlc order of the World." based, to some extent, upon th prinlcples that guided our ancestors. Such.

I think. Is the philosophy of or suci-esslon. "Now let us see how these principles have recommended themselves to men in these United States to-day. "The order was born in 1SSS, and began an infancy much harassed by prejudices. Its growth was at tirst slow.

Men were suspicious of it. It was misunderstood. When It had grown into a few senates, jealousies sprang up, and nnder the Influence of that passion men forgot their vows and threatened exposure. Then the father of the order. Gen.

C. J. Weath-erby, was arrested by malice to prevent his further working In the interests of his chiij. The courts dismissed him. as the charge rested on no foundation.

That seems to have been the turning point, for from that time, albeit with much labor anl self-sacrltlce on the part of our supreme ruler, the order began a progress that was altogether marvelous. All praise to Gen. Weutherbv for his ardent and earnest efforts, whfch have met with the freat success that they certainly deserved, 'rum tbe West to the East, and Into the Southland the tidings of true brotherhood spread like wlldnre. and the principles of our order recommended themselves to the hearts of men wherever they were heard. "Senate after senate was formed, until now we may bMvely stand forward among the best of fraternal organizations we need not be ashamed of our numbers, but rather take a pride in them.

In but a few years we have attained a most remarkable, a most astounding success, counting over men, and rapidly Increasing. Each day brings news of some additions. "See what our own State has given. Has ever another society had the wonderful success here that has attend the efforts of those to whom, was entrusted the life of the order in Louisiana? "The work began here not two years ago, when the order had never been heard of in this State, and now we number over lots men. "What has been the secret of such a unique progress? "The men who were placed at the bead or the organization have worked noly and bravely against unnumbered oddsi All credit should be given them that is due.

But that is noi enough to explain their success. They had something to tell. That was it. They had something great to recommend to those to whom they spoke. "Our excellent tenets met with ready response as soon as they were understood.

Here in Louisiana, where we are said to be behind the times and slow, because we are careful not to commit ourselves, here the fact is shown. "And all this in spite of the fact that we are exclusive. Of course we are exclusive. That is one of our excellencies. Let ns always remain so.

Let us not be carried away by the desire to display extensive rosters, and be led into the temptation to take In men indiscriminately. "If we do unwittingly get some black sheep into our dock, let us at once rid the order of them, or we are sure to die. If there are in our midst men who forget their obligations by persisting, after affectionate warning. In living openly and carelessly immoral lives, and degrading themselves in the eyes of moral men, let us remenitier that such actions reflect against the order, and let us speedily request them to depart, and, if they refuse, let us take the initiative. My brothers, you all know well the importance and the truth of these words.

"We stand for something higher than swelled rosters. Our motto is t-jo grand to admit of being trifled with union, toleration, charity! They are the trumpet calls to-day that gather together all the bent spirits in the world under one standard. "All are taking up the cry. It felt by hearts, some of whom are perhaps too timid to proclaim it but the feeling a glorious prophecy that it may lie taut the new heaven and the new earth are fast ne ring consummation. "Science, religion, politics, though divided, pray for the realization of that which the motto means.

We srsther mnn.i our altar, and with drawn swords pro- viiim us uouxiu to tnis creed. The creed is a short one: onlv iinw cles but those three contain the message taught by our divine Master. "The banner mnst not remain furled Let us spread out its folds, and after learning the meaning of its stran'ge proclaim ourselves ready to bring It to peaceful victory, to plant it at the our niruera oi me eartn unity toleration, charity. "We believe In unity. How shall that afreet our influence amonr mn word we declare that which has already been set forth In our country's Constitution.

We hold that all men everywhere are equal. They were created bv the an me on. reiieemea py tne same Christ who In Himself showed the Meal attitude of man to man. He established the J1 for ns to ra a men are equal, not.

Schlechter Falls Into a Trap Set by Von PopieL Onlj One Favorite Successful at the Latonia Race Track. But Few Spectators Witness the Steeplechases at Morris Park. Special Cablegram to The Time-Democrat. Budapest, Oct. H.

The ninth round of the International chess tournament wan played to-day In this city, when the order of play was as follow: Von Topiel vs. Kchlechter, Noa va, Albin, Marco vs. Tar-ranch. Janowskl vs. Wlnawer, Tchigorin va rillsbury, Walbrodt vs.

Charousek, Maroczy a bye. I'p to the time of adjournment, at 1 o'clock, Janowskl had beaten Winawer in a Buy Ixpei after twenty-six moves, the loser having compromised his game in the opening, and Tchigorin and Plllsbury had drawn a I'etroff. which turned into a regular four Knights' gam after thlrty-clx moves. This game was equally well contested throughout, a draw beiug the only legitimate result. At 8 o'clock two games, those between Noa and Albin and Walbrodt and Charousek, had to be adjourned again, to be concluded to-morrow, while Von Popiel at last succeeded in winning a game against Schlechter.

It was a King's Bishop's opening, won after forty-six moves by line end-gume tactics. Tar ranch went down before Marco in a Ituy Lopez, defended by the doctor by 3. Kt (J 5. a very unusual move. Marco got the best of the opening and beat his adversary after forty-one moves.

Noa and Albin played a King's fianchet-to, and although Noa has a slight andvan-tsge it will scarcely be sufficient to win. The same can be said about the other game left adjourned, in which Walbrodt holds a slleht advantage, but Charousek. who defended a Ituy Lopez with 3. Kt 3, will probably draw. To-morrow" the three games lft unfinished.

Noa vs. T.rrascn and Albin and Walbrodt vs. Charousek. will be resumed. HOW THEY RAX AT LATOXIA.

LOCAL AVHEEL NEWS. BALD-COOPER MATCH RACE OFFERED TO SEW ORLEANS. Other Cracks Wk May Try for Records on the Local Track Paqnctte Challenged Drown's Damaares S. V. Smoker.

Cyclists wishing to Join the League of American Wheel men will be furnished with, application blanks and necessary Information by addressing Cycilng department of The Times-Democrat. Yesterday a letter was received by the cement cycle track association from A. E. Webb, trainer of that phenomenal rider, Thomas Cooper, of letroit- Webb says that negotiations are about completed for a match race for $1sk a side between I Tom Cooper and Ed Bald, otherwise kaown as "Cannon" Bald, of Buffalo. Both men are aniious to have the race take place In New Orleans, because the climate at this late season Is too severe In the North for either racer to show his true form.

A communication was at once addressed to Webb by the local track managers, and every reasonable effort will be made to have the races, which will be best two In three, take place In this city. Webb suggests that the match races should be accompanied by a novice race and two amateur events. That a contest between the two kings of the path would be a great card goes without saying, and nothing would go farther toward advertising the track as a winter training and record work resort among the Northern cracks than the pub licity that would be given to such a contest. The regular season closed last week with Bald and Cooper so close in the percentages that the difference in favor of the Buffalo man was almost Insignificant. Cooper had ridden more consistently than either Bald or the little phenomenon.

Tom Butler, during the year, and was naturally sore that his fail at Providence and the time he "quit" in a race at Louisville should have placed him behind his great rival in the tables. For that reason the young man from Detroit is eager to meet his man in a match race and settle the old grudge. Both men won match races from Walter Sanger during the summer, and in every particular their work, for the year as a total, has been about on a par. Bald started In the season badly. He had spent the winter in idleness, and when he joined tbe circuit he found the other riders cutting riutrs around him.

Gradually, however, the old spirit returned ana on tue closing day or tbe circuit, at Washington. Bald won two open events from Cooier. Thus, if the match takes place In the near future Bald should be In the finest form, while Cooper, who was lest early in the season, has a hard campaign Itehind him, which may have exhausted his vitality to some extent. Still, both riders are such superb athletes that the slightest chance might turn the scales one way or the other. The accompanying tables are Interesting as show ing the relative standing of tbe eight leaiiers at the close of the present season a compared with the season of 105.

Bnld leads both, but there Is a great difference in the margin, and when the prize list is looked at there is noticed a very important chanire. It will be remembered, however, that the won by Bald in ist5 was diamonds and jewelry, nion whi a the race meet managers fixed the value, while tbe flVTi of the present year is In eah: 1S95. Name.

Tbe little Welshman has openly declared himself, saying that he wants a warm climate to train in, and that here he would hare no trouble in cutting down every record front live miles to one hundred, and also that he will place a new figure even for the hour record, now away over thirty-one miles, held by Stocks. Everybody knows what Johnson would do here with such pacing as he and Michael have been receiving in the North. Just the other day at Chicago, Johnson equalled Berlo's New Orleans record of '2-5 for the mile.

There is scarcelv a doubt but that, with the local track and local climate and imported pacing, Johnson will place the mile record well below Some Interesting additions are soon to be made to the Saturday matinee races In the form of record trials, and as a formal challenge has been addressed by a local "prtr" to l'aipiette, the Mobile flyer, there is a fair prospect that match race will lie on tue card for the last two weks of the month. There has Inen an Inclination on the part of some few of the riders iu the Saturday races to withdraw from the contests. Some of the men. of course, have been unable to ride ieeause of illness or other unavoidable circumstances, hut in other cas" the men have become discouraged and quit training because they seemed to have no chance. A local cyclist.

In speaking of th matter yesterdrty. said there were two reasons why the riders should not act In that way: first, oecsnse they can never expect to win unless they ride, and the more rilling they do the uiore they will develop. If Cooper had quit riding after his first season he would hnve a long string of defeats to bis credit. The second reason is that In entering races and not starting the men leave themselves liable to punishment by the L. A.

W. Tlie law is a new one this year, and wns designed to protect meet "managers in case of professionals who would enter races and withdraw at the eleventh hour to force a bonus from the directors. The question often asked, "What would the L. A. W.

do for me?" was answered in a very neat and thorough way bv a recent event. Some days ago" ('has. Irown. made appliii'ion for ndmis- sion to memin-rship In the League of American Wheelmen. One morning his nsme appealed in the League Bulletin and by tnat voting Drown became a mem- ler.

Tnlane Stadeats Not Showing Very Great Proflclcncy. Yesterday afternoon the candidates for tbe Tulane football team practiced on the college campus, as usual; and with the exception of the tact that there was an unusually large Lumber of spectators present to watch the work there was nothing to indicate any enthusiasm. It is greatly to be deplored, but nevertheless it is a fact, that the practice of yesterday afternoon was the moat ragged and discouraging that has marked the efforts of the team since tbe men first appeared for work. Tbe 'Varsity eleven was una We to make any decisive gains through the scrub team's rush line or around the ends, while, on tbe other band, the second eleven men forced the ball down the field time and again. It is true that tbe 'Varsity men made several touchdowns against the nineteen or twenty ulayers that opnoaed tliem, but they had to work hard to do it.

The scrubs rushed the ball well, and bucked the line with remarkable aggressiveness, but when tbey attempted to circle tue arsity ends they were uoweriess to advance tue The playing and sharp tackling of tbe 'Varsity emis was me only relreanmg mature of the alterooun. The college team's auarter-backs fumbled the sphere time after time. In fact, it was vey seldom that they did not fumble. While their play was away below par, tbe entire fault can not be directly attributable to them. Heretofore all of the men who are trying to make tne position ot centre have been coached in snapping the ball to the quarter-back, and wueu everyuiuig is taken into consideration, up to yesterday, it was very seldom that the ball was Juggled.

Yesterday, bewever, a new man was put in, who baa never sntipied tbe sphere in the manner taught by Mr. ilium, the each. Bergen, who filled tne position on the Tulane team of k.t year, appeared on the field for the nrsi time mis season, lie was placed In hia old position, with instructions to snap the ball back in tlie style introduced this year. He was not at all familiar with it. and the result was that be would not send the spltere hack wlta any regularity or precision at all.

This proved verr disastrous, for on numerous occasions the rush line of the 'scrubs" would break through and pounce oa the ball when the quarter-back in i wed It. Then another trouble was experienced. There was too much individual playing. This was particularly tbe rase with the men behind the Hue. With the exi-entkm of Bush they were slow at starting, and even after getting under way wouia Olsrecara the signals by breaking away from the interference that was funned and strike out for themselves.

While it 1s true tliut numerous large gains were made in this manner, that style of nlar is not football, and Coach Baum did not hesitate to express himself in very einpnattc terms on this point. The kicking was also of an inferior degree, and did not compare at all favorably with the standard that characterixej luoia Johnson's work of a week aro. The latter Is badly missed, and while at present several are being tried Id bis place, none have riven satisfaction or promise of development in the near future. tAtopinal returned to the city a few days ago, and was on tbe field yesterday for the first time this year. He went in at bis old position of guard.

IMtpiesae has given no bis aspirations to be come f'imons as a half-back, but bis work yesterday almost assures him a nositioo st tackla or end. prolwhly the latter. The team will practice as usual this afternoon, awl will endeavor to retrieve the bad impression formed by the spectators yesterday evening. The men will line np against Jhe scrub team for an hour or mjre and work hard for tbe game with the alumni next Saturday, as Friday will he devoted exclusively to a re-Marsal of signals.

His Statement of the Target Shoot- lag at Fort Grant. Some time ago The Times-Democrat printed a paragraph about the rifle shooting done by Lieut. Myer, of the Fourth Battalion, at Fort Grant, saying that Mr. Myer's nncle was in command at the fort, and that Mr. Myer had been awarded markmanship buttons for the scores he made.

Last Tuesday, at the request of Capt. Dudley Selph. of the Washington Artillery, The Times-Democrat printed correspondence between Capt. Selph and the commander and rifle range inspector at Fort Grant. This correspondence set forth that Mr.

Myer bad done some shooting at Fort Grant, but that no record had been made of bis score; that tbe article was Incorrect in some respects and might be In alL Mr. Myer was out of the city when ths correspondence was printed, lie made a statement yesterday. To such extent aa it refers to the manner in which The Times-IeuK)crat got the information printed, the reporter who wrote tbe original article confirms Mr. Myer's statement. Mr.

Myer said: "I met a reporter at the duur of the St. Charles Theatre, and he asked me what was the button 1 had in the lapel of my coat. I told him it was the button awarded by the government fur excellence in target shooting. He asked me bow I got mine. I told him that during a recent trip to the West I viaited Fort Grunt, during ride target practice, and that I did score shouting myaeif.

I gave the score that he printed. 1 told him the buttons were given to me by my cousin, who was an officer at the fort, and that the receipt of them was a surprise to me. He asked If he (meaning my couaiu) was in charge, snd I told him that he was. I sui-owi be meant of the target practice. We diacussed other matters, and several days later I was surprised to see that a paragraph was printed about the buttons, and the score I made.

My ra-aaous for not asking for any correction at the time are apparent. In view of the facta. "There was not any contest going on at the time, and I did not enter acy. I could not enter the target practice of tbe regular troops, being nnenlisted. My cousin is Capt.

Mathey. lnsi-etor of rllte practice at Fort Grant, but not in command of the fort, as the reirter wrote. He was In charge of the target a booting. Lowever, and that was what I meant when I said to tbe reporter that my cousin in charge. "I did not say that I competed with the enlisted men in the fort.

The fact ia that I did not. After the target practh-e was finished. M.itney asked me If I would like to do some shooting, and -I told him 1 would. I did shoot a shile, and one of the privates standing by took my score, which was not official, and which did not. of course, go uoo the records of tbe fort, that is way Cot.

Sumner knew nothing: of the matter whatever when written to hy Capt. Selph. and as he is viot an nncle of mine, that is why he said the article printed was in correct in some details and might be in all. "Card. Mather was correct in saying to Capt.

Selph that I did some shooting but that he kept no acore. He miirht have written to Capt. Seh.h. however, that he personally and voluntarily prented me with the marksmanship buttons. He had no ripht to do so.

and that is why be did not mention it. That is also a reason why I would not have consented to Laving the matter published at all. if 1 had had any idea whatever that publication was contemplated. It is arm the reason why I did not ask for any correction or denial of the publication, and I make this atatement now only because I cannot blind mvaelf to the fact that Capt. Selph publication of the correspondence between himself and the officers at Fort Grant would injure me greatly If the matter were not explained.

If Capt. Selph had charred me with conduct unbecoming an officer the matter would havs been up by the Board of Offic-ers of the Fourth Battalion, and Capt. Selph would have acquired the information he wns so intereted in setting, purely ss an Inspector of rifle practice and without reran! to the Jealousy existing aKainat the Fourth Bat'allou. sit bout doing an injustice to an officer in tbe National Guard or necessitating any statement on bit part. If tie publication of the letters sent apt.

Selpb injure me. they injure the Fourtn Battalion. As an officer In the service of the State I would not do anything that would reflect discredit npoo any command in tbe State National Guard, whether I belonged It or to iKiilir comminsV 1 i A.
