Albaugh. "Will Give A Spring Season At Lyceum. FIRST PRODUCTION APRIL 22 Plays By Well-Known Writers Will Make Up The Repertory Company To Be A Good One. Mr. John W.

Albaugh, yesterday announced his Intention to resume the management of a stock company at the Lyceum Theatre this spring. Mr. Albaugh will begin his season on April 22 and says that plays by well-known authors and for which he will pay considerable royalties will form the repertory. He Is now engaged In selecting his actors and actresses and Is aiming to pick a capable and well-rounded company. Baltimore playgoers are already well acquainted with the abilities of Mr.

Albaugh as the manager of an excellent stock company, as the producer of good wholesome plays and as an actor in them. The company which he formed at the Lyceum In September. 1S97, was very soon recognized as one of the best of such organizations in this country and was warmly welcomed in Baltimore. Its abandonment last spring, after three seasons, was regretted by a large section of theatrical patrons in this city, who found a particular Interest and charm in following week by week some favorite actor or actress through a varied series of roles. American high-class comedies alternated with English dramas, and 'these in turn with French emotional plays or classical pieces, until the repertory comprised many productions of sterling merit.

These were well staged and capably acted. Mr. Albaugh himself usually played the leading "Juvenile" roles, and by his pleasant interpretations of such light-hearted parts gained much praise. THEATRES NEXT TfEEE Academy Of Mnsic. Miss Ada Rehan and her fine supporting company, together with the entire New York Knickerbocker Theatre production of "Sweet Nell of Old Drury," will form the very attractive magnet at the Academy Easter week.

The sale of seats Is now In progress. This is the play which created such a marked sensation In London, where It ran on entire season and started the famous Nell Gwyn craze In that great metropolis. It is a remarkable fact that the theatrical sensation of the London season should be a play written by Paul Kester, an American. Messrs. Klaw Erlanger acquired the American rights, as the role of Nell Gwyn is particularly and peculiarly fitted to Miss Rehan's dramatic accomplishments.

This young dramatist has given a series of beautiful pictures enlivened by living and natural figures set In consistent surroundings. The Sweet Nell of Old Drury Is a laughing, happy creature, ambitions, it is true, possessed of an effervescing and sometimes biting wit which stands her in good stead in time of need, and yet withal she has a soul and a heart of which any woman might be proud. Mr. Kester's Nell is a peculiar character, sunny and fresh as a June morning one moment and the next as strong and unyielding as steel. To assimilate and portray the elusive charm of such a woman as Nell Gwyn Is a task for a nature of peculiar allurement and one that is both sympathetic and piquant.

It requires a nature at once mature, knowing and accomplished, with a suggestion of beguilement. This is Miss Rehan's Nell, and it Is a portrayal that gives the character an especial charm. Her success has been pronounced in several cities where the play has been seen, and created a sensation at the Knickerbocker Theatre, In New York, where it ran to crowded houses. Ford's Theatre. The Bostonians In a brilliant repertoire of their light opera successes, "Robin Hood," "Serenade" and the first production here of "The Yiceroy," Harry B.

Smith and Yictor Herbert's latest comic opera, will be the Easter attraction at Ford's. The company, a notable one, comprises the favorites, H. C. Barnabee, one of the original Bostonian company: W. H.

McDonald and George Frothlngham, W. H. Fitzgerald, John Dunsmure, Albert Parr, Estelle Wentworth, Josephine Bartlett, Adele Rafter, Yernon Stiles. Mabel Pierson, Mildred Rogers, John J. Rogers, John J.

Martin, and an attractive and well trained chorus and a superb orchestra. The repertoire for the week will be: Monday and Thursday nights and Wednesday matinee, "The Serenade." Tuesday and Saturday nights, "Robin Hood." Wednesday and Friday nights and Saturday matinee, "The Yiceroy." The merits of those delightful operas, "Robin Hood" and "The Serenade," are well known by the lovers of really good music. The event, however, of the engagement will be the production of their latest comic opera success, "The Yiceroy," the joint effort of Yictor Herbert and Harry B. Smith, authors who are well known by their previous, triumphs In the comic opera field. For The Yiceroy" the composer has written? a distinctive and melodious score, and the principal numbers, concerted passages and finales have the same excellence evidenced In "The Serenade." The plot dwells upon the romances of the Yiceroy of Sicily during the sixteenth century.

Chase's Lyceum Theatre. An announcement that will be hailed with satisfaction is that of the engagement for Chase's Theatre next week of John W. Albaugh, the young Baltimore actor whose success in vaudeville is not only a matter of pride to himself, but is equally gratifying to his many friends here. He is assisted by Miss Beth Franklyn, who has contributed much toward Mr. Albaugh's distinction, and they will be seen In a romantic comedy written by Justin Huntley McCarthy.

It Is called "Lady Betty's Highwayman" and It is credited with being pleasing as well as being novel In construction.

Conway and Leland, the one-legged comedians, will be seen In a specialty that abounds in comedy.

Deaves marionettes, who are the merriest of manikins, and 12 fresh American biograph- motion pictures will complete the bill. Holliday Street Theatre. The Holliday will present a new sensational melodrama next week, entitled "The Convict's Daughter," which is said to be a most deserving production, presented by a large, competent and expensive company.

An adopted child, the daughter of an Innocent convict, a supposed "Weary Willie," or tramp, accused of killing his own brother, is the central figure of the story told by the author, J. A. Fraser, the dominant features of which are heroism, self-sacrificing loyalty, comedy and pathos. The romance reveals a unique character In "Weary Willie," an educated tramp, who Is a genius. Scenic sensations of the first magnitude are announced.

One scene in particular has been much written about. It shows a jail yard, where the convicts are at work rebuilding a wall beside a railroad. A locomotive and a train of freight cars cross the stage, and. as the train passes, the hero convict, standing on top of the jail wall, leaps for liberty to the roof of one of the cars nnd escapes amid the firing of the guards who have witnessed his daring deed.

Mrs. Annie Frett-well, formerly of this city, but now a resident of Allahabad, India, In a letter gives the details of a movement among theNna-tive and European residents of India for the erection of a memorial to Queen Victoria. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been subscribed, and an immense system of canals to irrigate the famine-stricken country will probably be made the lasting tribute to the Queen. Lord Curzon started the movement by the subscription of 10,000 rupees ($2,000) for a memorial museum to be erected In Calcutta, but this idea is strongly opposed) by the residents of the provinces, and the system of canals is more generally favored. The people are said to be highly elated by the prospect of the enterprise, and they believe that India has passed through Its last harrowing experience of starvation.

Mrs. Frettwell says: "Relief from famine Is counteracted In the troubled country by the renewed spread of the plague. In the letter it is stated that it has gained alarming prevalence In Bombay and that the death rate Is 150 daily. In the holy city of Genares thousands are dying. Along the entire western coasts th disease is causing grief and LEAVES $350,000 TO THE POOR 3Iost Of It Is To Be In-vested In Loans To Them For A Time.

Cambridge, March 29. The will of Horace Cousens, late of Newton, filed today for probate, gives practically all the estate of $350,000 to the deserving poor, but under somewhat singular conditions. After payment of $20,000 to the town of Lyman, Maine, for a fund the residue goes to the city of Newton for Investment until Its total Is $1,000,000. The Investments are to be in loans to Industrial men end women of Newton to assist them In procuring homesteads. On attaining a million dollars the yearly interest is to be paid to deserving city poor.

If the city of Newton does not desire to care for the bequest two Boston institutions get $10,000 each, one Newton charity $5,000 and the residue goes to Lyman, Maine. There seems some question whether or not the disposition of the property hinges on the demise of the testator'a two children, with or without issue.

"There is probably nothing in the world that produces as much happiness as the peculiar feeling that comes over the mind when well fed with nourishing food that particularly rebuilds the brain and makes everything on earth hare a rosy tlnt.

Ambition is renewed, spirits are of the most aan-'; guine and confidence has restored that feeling within us which carries us over the rough places." So writes a man who was built up from a wretched inralid to a fine condition of health by changing his diet and using Grape-Nuts Food. "There is no sense of enjoyment equal to that of being well physically and mentally. 1 can hardly realize that such a transposition has been made.

The car took the curve at pretty fair speed and the man with the light overcoat was unfortunate. He lost his hold on the strap, while the Jolt seated him forcibly in the lap of Miss Henning. There was a dull crumbling sound as the eggs got in their work, and the young woman looked Indignant.

The man arose hastily with egg all over his coat tails, and, with a red face, got off, to disappear around the street corner a moment later. The young woman gazed In despair at the egg stains on her ruined skirt, wiped them off as best she could and then made remarks. Joseph Thoron Dead.

Mr. McDonald's Contracts.

Johnson, 137 Ross street, Brooklyn, had sailed for England to claim, on behalf of 12 American heirs, the estate of Thomas Holden, who died In Halifax, England, in 1S10, and said to be worth more than $1,000,000, aroused much interest among a number of Baltimoreans who are descendants of Stephen Broadbent or Jane Tenant, who were the original heirs of the estate.

The 12 Americans named in the dispatch were Walter M. Johnson, William B. Stani-baugh, Daisy L. Stambaugh and Anna B. Stambaugh, of New York; Joseph G.

Johnson, J. Mortimer Johnson, Ella V. McCa-han, Gershom D. Johnson and Ferdinand Broadbent, of Baltimore; Philip G. Stambaugh, of BInghamton, and Lady M.

Dur-rett and Viola E. Stambaugh, of Fairmont, West Virginia. According to the dispatch, in his will Thomas Holden left a life Interest in his estate to his niece, Jane Tenant, and to her children and to his nephew, Stephen Broadbent, and his children. But It was stated that at Jane Tenant's death and the death or marriage of her children the entire estate was to go to Stephen Broadbent or his heirs. The original will, however, was left in the possession of Jane Tenant.

She had two daughters, Ellen and Jane. Ellen died unmarried and Jane married her cousin, William Broadbent, one of the six children of Stephen Broadbent, and they came to this country in 1840. Later William Broadbent's sister, Elizabeth, came to this country. To her Jane Tenant had entrusted the will, but she quarreled with the other members of the family, and so it was not until her death, a few years ago. that they were able to secure it.

As all of the Holden nephews and nieces are now dead, the estate is to be divided among the direct descendants of Stephen Broadbent. Mr. E. B. McCahan, manager of the Stafford Hotel, is a son of Mrs.

Ella V. McCahan, named as one of the heirs. Until about a week ago Mr. McCahan was In possession of the will, which he secured from his mother. He does not know how she came Into possession of It.

He gave the will to Mr. Joseph G. Johnson, who sent his con, Mr. Walter M. Johnson, to England In the interest of the heirs.

Mrs. McCahan was a granddaughter of the Stephen Broadbent named as one of the original heirs. Mr. McCahan said last night that he had no idea of what the estate was worth now, and seemed to think It of not much use to bother over It. He has a copy of the will, which was written on parchment paper about 36 inches square.

It provided that a number of bequests should be complied with, after which the part known as the "Turk's Head estate," In the old market place in Halifax, should, with the remainder of the estate, go to Jane Tenant and Stephen Broadbent. Mr. McCahan says that, according to report, the estate consisted of an inn and several rows of houses in what is now the center of the city of Halifax. Mr. Charles F.

Broadbent. 2305 Barclay street, is a son of the late Stephen Broad bent, who was said to be a lineal descendant of the Stephen Broadbent named in the will. Mr. Broadbent said last night that he thought he would be benefited if the estate was secured. He also said that the Johnsons named had "probably come Into the family by marriage." Mrs.

Ferdinand Broadbent, the widow of Ferdinand Broadbent, told a reporter of The Srx yesterday that she had frequently heard her husband, who died three years ago, speak of the will of his grandfather, Thomas Holden. Mrs. Broadbent said she knew nothing of the mission of Mr. Walter M. Johnson, who has gone to England In behalf of the American heirs of the estate.

She said her husband had two brothers living In this city Messrs. Charles F. and Lewis Broadbent. Mr. Lewis Broadbent lives at 1017 Harlem avenue, but the house was closed last night.

While classical music Is admired and uniformly respected, a concert of strictly classical music does not usually attract an audience to the Music Hall that fills every nook and corner of the big hall.

But that's what happens when Sousa comes. And that's what happened last night. Baltimore audiences are" proverbially tardy in putting In their appearances. The immense audience that filled the Music Hall last night at the Sousa concert showed no signs of establishing a new nrecedent. Bv 8.15, the time at which the concert was advertised to begin, the hall was comfortably filled.

Then came the rush. Escorts who had neglected to provide themselves with tickets beforehand stood In line blocking up one side of the lobby, while the man at the box office dealt out tickets and selected seats with macblne-like rapidity. People who had provided themselves in advance struggled through the crowd, only tc find the rear of the hall blocked with other people who wanted an usher, and wanted him right away. The ushers hustled, but In spite of all they could do the members of the band came In and took their places before all of the waiting throng had been seated. Once or twice before this winter audiences have waited at the Music Hall for orchestras.

Last night the tables were turned. But the hustling ushers soon had the people seated, the bandmaster stepped out from the ante-room, he lifted his baton and the concert began.
