THE NEW YORK TIMES. FRIDAY. APRIL 28. 1905. BULL' AT GARDEN SHOW LEAPS INTO THC BOXES Spectators Alarmed.

Musicians Put to Flight. COWGIRL'S ACT CUT SHORT Th Bull's Own Little Feat Performed la the Music of "iThe Bull In the China 8hop.M TT.e Bull In a Chin Shop Is pretty plrco of muelc. The band at Madison guare Garden, the icene of the present horse and cow ihow, plays It well at A1 timet, but never did the mualciana handle It more ympathetlcally than at yesterday afternoon's performance. The 6.000 spectators were hanging upon the melody, when a mouse-colored Texaa bull leaped from the arena among the loses above the Madison Avenue entrance. This cut ahort the fmusle and spread consternation amons the spectators and the band players, who alt near theao boxes.

The programme said that Miss uclll Mul hall would perform the daring and dangerous feat of roping and tying two wild Texaa bull. Miss Mulhall. five cowboys, and two Texaa long-horns appeared In the arena. The boya were to drive the bulls around the arena, whereupon Miss Mulhall was to do the roping act. The bulls made the circuit twice.

The mouse-colored animal, known among the boya as "Ratty Iong Horn." got tired the circular business. Like thoroughbred steeeplcchaser, he took at one jump three bara that cloaed an entrance to a tier of boxes. He stood still, coolly surveying the situation. Then, throwing his tail up and bellowing like a young bull calf Just turned out on the green, he went cavorting up the alale. He showed by his demeanor that he wasn't angry; he was just full of unconflnable energy.

On account of the daring danger of the feat, the musicians were putting the grand tremolo to The Bull in a China Shop." The arm of the trombone man wts extended to Its utmost, basses were purring gently but intensely, and the reeds were softly crying with apprehension. The bandmaster's muscle-drawn arm was trmololng like a dying leaf. Whoof The bull was almost upon the drum beater. The man threw down h9 pounder and. neatly ramming his foot through the drumhead, ran for his life.

All theother musicians ran. Spectators scrambled, the women screaming. Policeman Ocorge O. Cllnchey of the Leonard Street Station rushed to the rescue. The mouse-colored Texan turned his horns toward Cllnchey; the bluecoat fled.

Then the five cowboys went up to the conquest. The bull ran playfully among the boxes. He was roped ultimately, however, and )e and pushed down the aisle up which he had ambled so Jauntily some fifteen minutes before. Then the went on. Just thirty minutes before the bull episode Charles Mulhall.

seventeen years old, got so. dizzy while breaking a bronco" that he fell from his mount. The little frizzled bay ran around him. and Mr. Mulhall was not injured.

The fare in question passed cards to all who asked for them last night In front of the Plaza Hotel. Fifty-ninth 8treet and Fifth Avenue, which read: PARKER WICKON. State Street. Chicago.

Where he had been earlier in the evening Mr. Wlckon did not say. but the first that was seen of him was at 9:30 o'clock, when he walked down Fifth Avenue In a merry mood. A silk hat set off his six feet, while his 180 odd pounds were well fitted in evening clothes. He wore a white silk-lined dress coat.

When Mr. Wlckon arrived at the Sixty-fifth Street entrance to the Park, he hesitatingly entered and steered a generally southerly course which brought him to the small lake known aa the Gold Fish Pond." Arrived there, the man from Chicago carefully remove bis coat. This he -folded upon a bench, and without further dlveatment of attire or hat he plunged into the water. The night was warm, and several couplea who saw the lp sounded the alarm, which, however, was not heard by the police, for after a. moment the Chicago man crawled out on hands and knees.

His hat had floated away. Then he carefully donned his coat again and proceeded on his way. One of the witnesses to the proceedings approached. Well," he asked. bow did you like your bath? A trifle replied the bather, but Lake Michigan is always so." Lake Michigan? The first speaker waa pussled.

Yes. Lake Michigan. This is Chicago, Is It not? Fudge, no. This Is New York. You're In Central Park." replied the other.

This Information seemed to trouble the man from Chicago, who trudged along, leaving a trail of mud at every step, toward the Fifty-ninth Street entrance. The night is yet young; let's go to the Waldorf." said the wet one. Then, turning to the cabby, he ordered that he and his companion be driven to Thirty-fourth Street. The cabby demurred, because he feared that his would-be fare would not be favored there. "But my name Is Wlckon.

and I'm from Chicago. Cannot I get entertainment In your city? I have the needful," and he produced the prcof. Well, here's a tenner," and Wlckon peeled one from the bwille. vV'hat's your rate? Oh, a cent a block." replied Thomas. Th.n drive on ar.d when that Is used up call on ire for more," and Parker Wlckon of allowed his bedraggled form to sink upon the tan upholstery of the cab.

Nance 0Nell last evening revived at the Grand Opera House Giacomettt's Elisabeth," a play used by Ristori during her American tours many years ago. The role of the Virgin Queen provides plenty of opportunity for a display of theatrical virtuosity.

In it Glacocaettl has provided some useful acting scenes by collecting various passages in the life of Elisabeth and uniting them with each other in such a way as to make the relation appear both natural and interesting. To this nd he employs about all the liberies of time and place allowed on the sfge. Added value for theatrical purposes Is provided in a love interest between Elisabeth and the Earl of Essex, which also offers an opportunity for delicate comedy In acting in a scene wherein the Queen, like an experienced coquette, seems to accept and cherish Essex's love, while compassionating his ill-concealed jealousy of the Earl of Leicester, whom he believes to be his fortunate rival. The ultimate. death of the Earl of Essex and the Queen's end provide tragic climaxes to the story.

The character of Elizabeth provides opportunity for almost unlimited variety of dramatic expression. Miss O'Neil's playing of the role was rewarded with frequent outbursts of ap- glase and many calls before the curtain, he will be seen In that part the remainder of her engagement with the exception of Saturday night, when, she again plays Lady Macbeth.

MORGAN OFFERS $250,000 FOR PEABODY COLLEGE Nashville Institution Soon to Have $2,300,000 Fund. STATE RAISED LARGE SUM Outside Aid Asked to Meet Conditions of Mr. Morgan' Gift Seth Low Addresses Conference. Special to Tht Sew York Timet. COLUMBIA.

S. C. April 27. At to-day's session of the Southern Educational Conference Dr. W.

Rose announced the plan for founding the proposed George Pea-body- college for teachers at Nashville, was practically completed and that most of the money needed was available for a permanent endowment fund. He said that fl.80O.0UO already' had been received and that J. P. Morgan had offered $250,000 for the fund if the institution could raise a similar sum. This would give the college a capital of $2,300,000.

making it one of the richest Institutions in the South. The first $1,000,000 waa voted for the institution by the Trustees of the Peabody Fund Jan. 24. on condition that th -nan-agement should collect $800,000. Tula sum was collected in a remarkably short time, all of the contributors being cltlsens of Tennessee, together with the State Legislature.

On this showing- Mr. Morgan made his offer. It Is hoped now to secure the $250,000 outside the State. Seth Low, Robert C. Ogden, Dr.

St. Clair McKelway, and Dr. E. A. Alderman were the speakers at the conference today.

Mr. Ogden said there was more need and demand for educated men in the business world than ever before. He declared that the world demanded intelligent s(nd well-informed men in every line of business. Mr. Ogden called special attention to the common fallacy that 'modern college education did not fit a man to go Into the business world.

In his opinion he fact that education generally tended toward idealism was commendatory in Itself. Idealism and common sense carried Into any business In the world would accomplish success, he thought. Mr. Low reviewed the history, of the public school In New York City from the days of Dutch when it was closely associated with the churches, down to the present. He called attention to the fact that after the abandonment of the public school system during the Colonial period the first movement for a free school unconnected with any Church was made in 1787 by what was known as the Manumission Society." which established a school for negro children.

It Is one result of that circumstance." said he, that from that day to this there have been separate schools maintained for colored children in the City of New York. For a long time this was done in obedience to law, but even now there ia still one school wholly devoted to negro children. Every well-informed person cheerfully recognizes the magnitude of the problem that confronts the South, by reason of the necessity of a double set of schools. No one can tan to appreciate tne splendid courage which has not hesitated to attack this double problem, and to accent this double burden, almost without a murmur. Patience and faith are the watchwords with which to attack every question in which education has a part.

Its proc esses slow, but its results are sur. I bid godspeed to tne outr in its errort to advance the cause of popular education." TO SEE THE SUN'S ECLIPSE. Expeditions to Labrador, Egypt, and Spain for Next August. SAN FRANCISCO. April 27.

I Don't mistake sluggish old-fogyism for conservatism. It is a good thing to be conservativecautious and prudent but there is a difference between that kind of conservatism and an obstinate adherence to methods which have outlived their usefulness. A sailing vessel of the olden time was a noble craft, bit no one would to-day think of preferring it to a modern ocean liner. The fact that in times past your concern did not advertise should not stand in the way of your adopting this modern sales method, and it is unwise to be prejudiced against advertising for any such reason. In fact, the age, dignity and reputation of a house are proper subjects of publicity.

The reasons why it is safe and wise to patronize you Are public property. The SaturdayEvenikg Post reaches a class of people easily influenced by arguments based on rep a and quality. 800,000 highly desirable American families or 4,000,000 people read The Post every week. It will bring results for any manufacturer, and the fact that it apt-pears weekly gives it a great advantage as an advertising medium.

Aoril 27. State Entomologist Smith has brought (lad tidings to the city Health Board. He declared yesterday, with tils professional as the stake, be said, that with the exception 'a little patch the Newark Meadows will be entirely free from the mosquito larvae during: the com Ins; Summer. The ditching done by th Board of Health, he said, had eradicated all the mosq-iito breeding places on the meadows, with the exception of what is known aa tho Ebbllng tract. The netdows there are so hopelessly rotten.

er-ty down as to make tne ditching corr- ineffective. The tide submerges the and leaves countless stagnant pools breed moequltoa by tho millions. The remedy, he says, is erection of gates to keep the water out and the u.e of a pipe to receive the rising tide. The Elisabeth city authorities are actively at work, he said, on schemes for the ditching of the Elisabeth Meadows, and before the Summer begins will have started an effective crusade against tha plague spots.
