Before the members of the Women's Alliance of the Lenox Avenue Unitarian Church several speakers, speaking on the subject "The advocated thfi creation of a national theatre endowed by the Government which would lift the dramatic art out of what they considered the thraldom of commercialism and raise Its tone. The meeting was largely attended by the members of the church, who expressed their approval of the suggestion by frequent applause. Mrs. Sydney Rosenfeld compared the modern playwright to a designer for fashionable gowns, who patterns his ideas to suit the caprice of the dressmaker. "The plays that are being written today," she said, "arc neither great nor good.

None of them will outlive their decade, because they are not the true expression of the men who write them, but mere creations of the manager, reflections of the designer's fancy, pot-boilers made to attract for a season and then be thrown aside like the raglan and the flare skirt and the picture hat. Dramatically speaking, all the nations of the world are waiting breathlessly for some one to Invent a new side gore or pleat on which to build up their spring fashions in plays, and the dramatists have been so cramped and so stunted by commercialism that they do not realize that this might be a good moment in which to try to utter thefr message. Commercialism has hung dramatic art In chains and forced her. to walk with leaden step beside its gilded chariot wheels." Mr. Heinrich Conrled, manager of the Irving Place Theatre, said "The only solution I see for the problem of bettering the American stage is the establishment of a national theatre.

My Idea is that a national theatre would be self-supporting, and after it was once started would re College teams was, on account of rain, called when one-half of the game had been played. The score then stood 11 to 0 in favor of the visitors. a WESTERN 36; M. A. 0 Farmers Hare No Show At All, Bat Make Final Desperate Stand.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. College Park, Nov. 23. The strong and heavy Western Maryland College vanquished the Maryland Agricultural College team today by 36 to 0. The halves were of 20 and 15 minutes.

The game began at 10 A. but so much time was lost on account of injuries to players that It was not over until 11.45 o'clock. The visitors averaged 25 pounds, the heavier, and the M. A. C.

missed Brown, the halfback, who was hurt in the Walbrook game last Saturday, and Smith, left end, whose forehead was badly cut at the start today. Western Maryland kicked off to M. A. 35-yard line and soon got the ball back on downs, and in less than five minutes sent White through for a touchdown. Lynch kicked goal.

M. A. kick-off was returned. After making small gains the home team's center passed the ball over the quarterback's head and it was kicked close to the goal line. Matthews tried hard to kick it back, but Western Maryland kicked it over the line, where Byrd fell on it for a touchdown.

Lynch kicked goal. At the next approach to the Agricultural' goal the M. A. C. made a brilliant stand.

They made small gains to the 15-yard line. Soon Hurley went through in a close formation for a touchdown. Lynch kicked goal. The first half ended with the ball in midfield. Fezmeyer began the second half with a poor kick and the ball was downed on the visitors' 35-yard line.

Western Maryland carried the ball down the field until Byrd made a run of 40 yards around left end, and on the next down Hurley went through left tackle and end for 10 yards and a touchdown. Lynch kicked goal. On the next trial Roberts bucked through center for five yards and a touchdown and again Lynch kicked goal. The next time the ball moved fast, and from the five-yard, line Roberts went around left end for the last score. Lynch, as usual, kicking straight and making the score 36 to 0.

CAROLINA. 6 Norfolk Has A General Holiday On Account Of Football. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Norfolk, Nov. 23.

With water trickling from the chrysanthemums which almost everyone wore, 6,000 persons, including the flower of Norfolk society, stood on the drenched ground at League Park this afternoon in a drizzling rain and saw the University cf Virginia football team defeat the eleven of the University of North Carolina by a score of 23 to 6. The rivalry between the universities and their supporters, many of whom came from distant points in the two States is Intense, and Norfolk, which contains many North Carolinians, is a favorite battleground, since each rival Is well supported. At the end of the first half the score stood 6to6and the spectators were frenzied with excitement. The Virginians outweighed the North Carolinians, though, and in the last half ran through, around and over them. It was Virginia's game anyway, and the Charlotteville men outclassed their opponents from start to finish, save that Coleman and Tutwiler made Inexcusable fumbles in the first half.

Had these two played in their usual form experts believe Virginia would have made 30 and North Carolina would not have scored. Virginia used a tackle-back formation throughout the game and played, havoc with Carolina's line. Captain Coleman, of Virginia had to get out of the game in the second half. His place was taken by Church, who made the only really sensational run of the game for 40 yards and a touchdown. The contest was harmonious and North Carolinians shared largely in the applause.

The defeated players were game to the end. Business was practically suspended in Norfolk, and had it not rained in the afternoon an Immense throng would have filled League Park. During the forenoon the procession of the rival adherents on the principal streets was notable. Norfolk was in holiday dress, and with flags, horns, cowbells, megaphones and shouting made the town ring as though it were Christmas time. The line-up: Virginia.

The Washington men claimed that they did not have their regular team and that the team which appeared here should be called the Carroll Institute Reserves. Even the local men were willing to admit that the visitors were not playing up to the standard of their institute, and apparently the Carroll claim holds good. Smith bowled the most consistent game for the visitors, while Perry was the big boy for the Baltimoreans, though at no time was there any danger of records being' seriously fractured.

Messrs. Charles F. Locraft, J. T. Johnson and J.

SPORTING MISCELLANY The Johns Hopkins Plays Tip-Top Football In The Mud. NEITHER SIDE SCORES POINT Varsity Men Have All The Signs Of Winners, But There Is A Disagreement And Annapolis 31 en Depart. The game yesterday at League Park between Johns Hopkins ami St.

John's College, to decide the Maryland intercollegiate championship, was forfeited to Hopkins 6 to and Hopkins retains the pennant. It was the hottest game in the history of both institutions. The grounds were muddy, fumbles were numerous and end runs uncertain and slow. In the first half St. John's kept the ball about half the time and did some stiff work, but in the second half St.

John's was out of it completely. Hopkins had the ball nearly the whole time and twice carried it to within three yards of the goal line, when It was lost on fumbles. When only five minvtes of play were left Hopkins downed the leather on the one-yard line and only had one down. Just heret occurred the strenuous kick of St. John's, resulting in the forfeiture of the game to Hopkins.

Hopkins claimed off-side play, which the umpire granted. 'Captain Spates, of St. John's, objected and the wrangle continued 10 minutes. The umpire would not back down and the St. John's men ran off the field.

Hopkins played a great game all the way through. The line was a wonder, and, despite the soft, condition of the ground, Sayler, Faris and Riggsniade several pretty runs. Hill, Blanck and Bacon played well "and Garwood -was "all there," as usual. For the Tisitors Spates, Randall and Garey carried off the honors. St.

John's took the north goal. Sayler kicked off for Hopkins and the ball was downed on the 25-yard line. St. John's caj-rled the ball 15 yards up the field by hard plunges, when it went to Hopkins on a fumble. The varsity then began a series of steady gains, and the ball was rapidly approaching goal, owing especially to Garwood, Faris and Blanck.

backed by fine team work. St. John's suddenly took a brace and shortly got the ball on downs. Spates made a pretty end run, but slipped, and Hopkins got the ball on a fumble. The remainder of the half was occupied in a simple exchange of the ball from one side to the other on downs or fumbles, and the half ended with the ball on Hopkins 25-yard line.

Randall kicked off for St. John's in the second half. Sayler caught the ball, but slipped, and St. John's fell on it. The Hopkins line forced St.

John's to kick four times. Hopkins secured the ball cn downs and got 10 yards for off-side play. Sayler made a great run around left end and Riggs another around right end, and the ball was downed on the eight-yard line. It went to St. John's on a fumble, but Hopkins next carried it close to the goal line and it was lost on downs.

The varsity soon had the leather within one yard or goal. Campbell (center) was about to pass the ball, when it was knocked out of his hand and Hopkins claimed off-side play. Then ensued the forfeit. The "rooting" was fine. St.

John's ranks were graced bp the presence of a large number of pretty gir's, who waved flags and alse joined in the yelling. Hopkins men in large numbers gave some fine songs and yells. The. line-up: Hopkins. Position.

Line plays on born sides were the staple tactics, but the City College put in some good end work, while the Deltas could do nothing with their opponents in that direction. Duncan, Chandlee and En-nis, the City College backs, did some strong line hammering, while Topping and Clarence were the stars on the Deltas. Topping stole the ball from Dancan's arms on the Delta's 45-yard line and carried it over the goal line, but the touchdown was not aHowed by the umpire. The line-up: City College. Positions.

FORD'S, TDNEFUL 'FL0R0D0RA Thanksgiving Week Will, Bring Good Attractions To All The Other Playhouses. Mr. Richard Mansfield will be seen at the Academy of Music this week in his creation of "Beaucaire," The crowds wishing to see' him this season have been so great that frequently the orchestra has been displaced to make more room.

There seems to be only one opinion, and that is that Mansfield makes Beaucaire the most charming and fascinating role of his repertoire of celebrated creations. The pictures of Bath society under the second George are a revelation of stage plctura-tlon. The cast is long and contains many noted names. A special train will bring Mansfield and his entourage from Washington today. The artist travels in his private car.

He will occupy a specially prepared' suite at the Stafford. He brings his horses, his favorite recreation being horseback riding. He is yseldoni seen on frequented thoroughfares, but seeks out quiet roads where he Is not likely to meet "Beaucaire" is so large a production that an extra force of stage hands has.been engaged to supplement the company's corps. Heavy the settings and elaborate as are the furnishings, Mr. Mansfield insists on a system and promptitude which insure the briefest possible entr'actes.

The curtain will rise at 8 o'clock and "Beaucaire" will be over at 10.45. Baltimore is to be the last city out of New York to see Mr. Mansfield before late in the spring. His special train will take him and his company to New York city next Sunday, and one week from tomorrow evening he will begin his winter season at the Herald Square Theatre. The sale of seats for Willard Spenser's "Miss Bob White," which will be seen at the Academy of Music on December 2, opens Tuesday next, and from the demand It looks as If the entire capacity will be sold before the company reaches the city.

The original magnificent costumes and scenery will be seen here and the augmented orchestra will be directed by Clarence West. Ford's Opera House. "Florodora" will be seen for the first time in Baltimore at Ford's Theatre tomorrow night. The company will consist of 87 persons, headed by such well-known artists as Isadore Rush, Will C. Mandeville, Bertha Waltzinger, William Armstrong, Guelma Baker, W.

P. Carleton, Frances Tyson and Alf C. Whelan. Special care has been devoted to the organization of the auxiliary forces, and the claim is made that no better voiced or more comely looking chorus has ever left New York city. The scenic effects, costumes and incidentals are complete.

Mr. Owen Hall, the librettist of "Florodora," achieved prominence as the author of "The Geisha," "An Artist's Model" and "The Gaiety Girl." His associate, Mr. Leslie Stuart, has long held an authoritative position in English musical circles. "Florodora" is filled to overflowing with music of an original and entrancing character. The two acts of the play have no less than two dozen fascinating compositions, which were written for soloists, duets, trios, and the concerted numbers, which include, of course, the famous double sextet, make the play a veritable feast of melody.

The most popular musical gems are "Tell Me, Pretty Maiden," "Galloping," "Willie Was a Gay Boy," "Under the Southern Palms," "I Want to Be a Military Man," "I've an Inkling." The great double sextet has become famous all over this country and Europe. Aside from the cleverness of the book and the charm of its music, "Florodora" has won the reputation of being a clean and high-class performance in every respect. The advance sale of seats has been extraordinarily heavy. Miss Bertha Galland, in her great success, "The Forest Lovers," will be at Ford's during the week beginning December 2. She is one of the most talented of the young American actresses, and her work in "The Pride of Jennico" and "Rupert of Hent-zau" made her a favorite.

In her new play she created a sensation In New York this fall. During the week of December 9 Mr. E. H. Sothern will be at Ford's.

He is in splendid form this season, and report says that his acting is finer than ever. "If I Were a King," from report, is a romantic play of the period of Louis XI, powerful in its story and affording Mr. Sothern the finest opportunities. Chase's Theatre. "At the White Horse Tavern," a unique comedy of life in the Austrian Alps, by Sydney Rosenfeld, will be produced at Chase's Theatre tomorrow evening by the Percy Haswell stock company, the occasion marking the beginning of the ninth week of the stock company season in Baltimore.

Souvenirs will be distributed to all purchasers of seats on the first two floors. The play is an Interesting love story, with many minor love threads, and the surroundings are picturesque and beautiful. The events take place at the White Horse Tavern, a mountain inn much frequented by tourists. There are many funny characterizations, among them a beggar who wears rags on week-days and fine linen on Sundays. He has a bank account and eats fried chicken at the White Horse Tavern.

Tbe absurd follies of tourists are well burlesqued. The manufacturer and his party at the tavern frankly confess that they are making a tour of the Alps simply to use some picturesque mountain costumes left over from a masquerade ball. The most Ingenious contrivance is the much-discussed rainstorm scene, In which real water pours down upon the players on the stage. Miss Haswell will have the role of hostess of the tavern. Mr.

Lloyd Carleton will be the head waiter, Mr. Frank Gillmore the young lawyer and Mr. Alfred Hudson the manufacturer who objects to everything. The rest of the company will appear.

Birckhead has submitted to the Maryland Steeplechase Association the cold figures of the late running and steeplechase meeting atPimlico, which, is very comfortable reading for the plucky men who want such races and are willing to go Into their pockets to guarantee the bills. The subscriptions from the members amounted to $3,615, and of this sum $2,115 was returned, leaving them to mak good only $1,500, and causing the return of considerably more than one-half of their subscriptions. The purses amounted to $5,765. This was the heaviest expense. It was offset largely by nearly $2,000 for privileges, jover $1,500 In entrance fees and more than $2,000 In gate receipts, the last-named Item being an index of popular appreciation of the sport.

It is believed that old Pimlico will soon resume her place again as one of the popular race tracks of the country, both for running and trotting meets. The autumn harness meeting there, with a revival of stake races and the outlay that was made to get Cresceus, the champion trotter, on the spot was the most successful financially that has ever been held at the mile course. Here are the figures for the late steeplechase meeting: Receipts: Licenses (betting, etc) Gate receipts Entrance fees $1,555.25 Subscriptions 750.03 Subscribing members 3,615.00 Forward from spring meeting 36.56 $9,764.13 Expenditures: Purses Employes Printina and stationery Track account Advertising Returned subscribing Cash on hand 00 902.45 123.00 465.10 323.76 2,115.00 69.92 $9,764.13 BRITISH TURF SEASON OVER Maher Heads Jockeys By Percentage. Second In Winnings. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

London, Nov. 23. Carabino won the Manchester November handicap of $7,500 for 8-year-olds and upward, distance one mile and six furlongs, at the Manchester November meeting today. Black Sand was second and Rambling Katie finished third. Twenty-two horses ran.

This year's sport under the -Jockey club rules was concluded with today's races. There was such a dense fog today that the judges had difficulty in distinguishing the winners. The Americans failed to score, but Maher ends the season second on the list of winning jockeys, with 94 wins against Mad-den's 130. Maher's precentage of wins, however, is 23 to Madden's 17. J.

Reiff is fourth on the list, with 89. L. Reiff, in spite of his suspension, is seventh, with 75. Martin has 43 wins, Jenkins 42 and Thorpe 14. Race Track For Prince George's.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore- Sun. College Park, Nov. 23. At a meeting of road drivers and lovers of light harness racing held in Washington the con- structlon of a new trotting track in this section of.Prince George's county was considered. Mr.

Otto. C. Ruppert's proposition to lease his grounds for 10 years was favorably considered and $1,500 was pledged. It is understood that the body will be called the Washington Road Drivers' Association. A committee, composed of Messrs.

Otto C. Rupert, L. D. Sale and Charles Talbot was appointed to visit the site and to estimate the approximate cost of laying out the track. A building which can be used as a clubhouse is already on the premises, and It is thought that the track and neces-sarv buildings can be constructed for about $1,200.

The place Is convenient "to Washington and can be reached by both the Baltimore and Ohio and the City and Suburban Railroads. BUYING CANADIAN HORSES Mr. E. M. Moses, After Morgan Blood, Tells Of Experiences Abroad.

Mr. E. M. Moses, the Baltimore horse denier, is in Sherbrooke, Canada, in the Province of Quebec. He writes that the country there offers plenty of sport for hunters.

"Moose, deer and bears abound," says Mr. Moses, "and any quantity of smaller game, to say nothing of ducks, which are plentiful on the lakes In large bunches. "I came here to hunt, but with greenbacks instead of the rifle. My game Is horses. In former years one could come here and select a carload of Morgans of good action In a few days.

Nowadays one is lucky to find a carload of horses In six months. The breed is nearly extinct. I am sorry It Is so, but these French Canadians could not afford to continue breeding when the bottom of the horse market dropped out several years ago. Besides, corn and oats are very high In price. "The farming season here is.

so very short that there Is not sufnclent time to develop grain. Just think of 18 Inches of snow here now and lots to follow. Everything is on runners and tbe sleigbing is simply immense. It is cold here, but the air is very dry, so one does not feel half as cold with the thermometer atzero as you would if it were merely at the freezing point in Baltimore. "Everybody who Is half way able wears fur coats.

Mink fur was formerly all the go; now it is 'coonskln and a cheaper grade, although the wealthier classes still wear the finer furs. "Game of all kinds Is served three times a day at the various hotels which, by the way, are far above the average. Sher-brooke is an ancient city, with a population of about 12,000. The people are very horsey and have a sporting tendency. It is a great pity that the better grade of horse in this section is slowly dying out.

I am trying to induce the farmers to buy high-class American trotting mares and get Infusion of the blood of the best Morgan stallions that still exist in this section, and in that way perpetuate the breed of horse which, in my opinion, would produce the best kind of coach horse. I hope I shall succeed, although It will require much persuasion, as the duty on American horses, unless bonded, Is 35 per and vice versa. "The 'fluid extract of malt' here Is superb and much cheaper than we get it in the States. No temperance orator need apply at the gates of Sherbrooke. I shall leave here for Toronto and the Interior.

So far I have found, but few horses suitable for my trade. I may have to give it up, as the roads are well-nigh impassable on account of snow." Henley Still Open To Foreigners. London-, Nov. 23. A meeting of the stewards of the Henley regatta today defeated by a vote of 19 to 5 the motion of W.

H. Grenfel, the well-known oarsman and member of Parliament, to exclude foreigners. This was the expected sequel to the opinion already expressed by the London, Thames, Kingston and other rowing clubs, which are the backbone of the meeting. The rules remain unaltered RAILROAD COMBINE REPORTED Howe Wants Burglars For Clients And Not Midnight Guests New Officers Of The Democratic Club. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

New York, Nov. 23. The new acting officer of the "Red Light" district. Captain Churchill, is determined to close up the Bowery, and close It tight, after 1 o'clock in the morning. He has created a sensation by going to work along this line, and has a flutter among'the gamblers and dance-hall proprietors.

Acting Captain Churchill and three of his detectives, who made a tour of the Bowery at 1 o'clock thi3 morning, found all the resorts closed, 1oth up stairs and down, except one at First street, where, in a saloon, they found severaf men drinking, at five minutes after the hour for closing Captain Churchill said he would makean arrest if the place wasn't closed up and everybody out in less than two minutes. He waited to see how quickly the bartender could close up. It Is said that the bartender broke the record. Six women were arrested by Captain Churchill's Fifth street police for loitering on the Bowery in the night. In an interview Captain Churchill says: "This is no bluff.

I am here to close up every objectionable place in the precinct and I intend to do it. I'll do it with words, if possible; with if necessary. If they don't close up at once, I'll club their heads off first and send them to jail afterward. "I'm not afraftl of any man on top of this earth. I have the greatest record for transfers in the department, and I got them all by the grace of my good friend William S.

Devery. "I'm a black Republican and he's a black Democrat. That's the only reason for It. He can't fire me as long as Colonel Murphy is Vanderbilt Engagement Reported. It is reported that the formal announcement of the engagement of Miss Kathleen Neilson and Reginald Vanderbilt will be made next week as soon as his mother, Mrs.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, returns to the city. According to the matrons of society she is the fairest of all the fair women who have married into the Vanderbilt family. Besides all this she is a sunny, gentle, girl, not yet 20, who only came out last year. Reginald Vanderbilt is about tbe same age. He is still at Yale, though is expected to leave college soon.

Kathleen Neilson Is Mrs. Belie Nellson's second daughter, and therefore Fred Geb-hard's niece. The Neilsons live In an old-fashioned house at 100 Fifth avenue. As Mrs. Neilson was a co-heir to the Gebhard fortune the wealth will not be all on the side of the bridegroom.

The Neilsons are Catholic, which suggests another Catholic-Protestant engagement that has been announced recently, the Kelly-Gouid match. There has already been a wedding of this sort in the Vanderbilt family. Virginia Fair, who became the wife of young William K. Vanderbilt, was so devout a Catholic that during her girlhood It was several times reported that she was about to take the veil. She became Mrs.

Vanderbilt at'the home of her sister, Mrs. Hermann Oelrlchs, the ceremony being performed by Father Murphy. Big Railroad Combine Rnmored. It was reported today that the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, the Manhattan Elevated Railroad Company and the new Central will form a combine to handle city and suburban traffic. The tale in Wall street, where the prices of the stock of all three companies have risen an average of 12 points since November 1, is that the New York Central has got to find some way of relieving Itself of its burden of suburban traffic.

It is said that the railroad Intends to Install the third-rail system between Its tracks as far as Yonkers, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle, and to have every third-surface car on all the city lines switch off at the Grand Central Station into the tunnel and through to every point above Melrose. It will also put in a third "rail on the New' York" and Northern road and switch Sixth and Ninth avenue cars directly on for stations up to Yonkers as soon as the electric system Is installed on the elevated lines. This would help the New York Central to Improve its through travel by putting on more express trains and making faster time than ever. Officials deny the story, but so many straws point the way to the rumored consolidation that Wall Street has come to believe it to the extent of buj'ing up much of the stock of the concerns interested, "ilus A Gun In Every Honni. William F.

Howe, of the law firm of Howe Hummel, who lives in a large house surrounded by spacious grounds, at 1245 Boston road, the Bronx, said early today that he had turned his house into an arsenal to the extent of having a loaded revolver within easy reach In every room in order to be prepared for burglars. Mr. Howe's neighbors were awakened at midnight by hearing a succession of shots coming from the direction of Mr. Howe's residence. When an investigation was made it was learned that while Mr.

Howe was in bed he had heard someone trying to force an entrance to the house by opening a kitchen window. The window with which the burglar was tampering opens on a driveway, and a view of the driveway is to be' had from Mr. Howe's bedroom. The lawyer says he plainly saw two men In the driveway, and, seizing a big revolver, blazed away. "Yes, I shot at 'em," he said.

"There were two and I think I hit one of them, but he got away. No, I shan't report it to the police. I've got a revolver in every room in the Bouse and I'm a good shot. There have been so many burglaries around here lately that I'm not going to take any chances. I don't object to burglars as clients they are pretty good clients but I seriously object to their operating on my house.

Only two weeks ago one of my neighbors was robbed by burglars." Question As To Who Died First. Some complications are likely to arise over the distribution of the millions left by Wallace C. Andrews, which may for a time at least Interfere with the scheme planned by his will, providing for the establishment of an Institution for girls in Wllloughby, Ohio, or in the event of the failure of this institution to be formed, then the residue of his fortune, after bequests to relatives are paid, Is to go to the Smithsonian Institution, In Washington. Accounting proceedings are now In progress before Robert E. Deyo, as referee.

Norman C. Andrews, of Ohio, a brother of the testator, who is not mentioned in the will, claims that he will eventually inherit a portion of the fortune of nearly $3,800,000. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews lost their lives in a fire that destroyed their residence at 2 East Sixty-seventh street in April, 1S99.

Mrs. St. John, wife of Mrs. Andrews' brother, was burned in the same fire. Norman C.

Andrews' claim hinges mainly on the point as to whether Mr. Andrews or his wife or Mrs. St. John died first in the conflagration, and also whether the larger residuary of more than a million dollars will go to the establishment of the Ohio institution. If Mrs.

St. John did not survive Mr. Andrews, then the legacy to her will abate, and as to that sum he would have died intestate. In that event the brother would share In It. Smallpox On Graf Waldersee.

Tae Hamburg-American Line steamer Graf Waldcsee, which arrived last night from Hamburg, Boulogne and Plymouth, was detained at quarantine this morning by the health officer because a woman steerage passenger developed smallpox. The patient was sent to North Brother Island, and the steerage passengers who occupied the compartment with the patient were sent to Hoffman Island for observation. The steamer, after disinfection, was released. The Graf Waldersee brought 275 cabin and 1,724 steerage passengers. Suicides And Accidents.

Suicides and fatal accidents figured strikingly in the news of Greater New York today. Ella Devlne, aged 21 years, killed herself with parls green Rosle Goldberg, aged 22, died of arsenical poisoning; EtalmaDworha, a Polish girl of 16, was asphyxiated with gas Albert Bernhardt. 27 years old, met a Bimilar fate Mrs. Annie Darien, 28 years old, and MlchaeJ Moore, a baby, fell to death through stairways, and Henry Williams, 35 years old, died from being ma.n-gled under a steam engine. Following Baltimore's Example.

The employes of the various divisions of the New York Customhouse, numbering 2,000, today organised a mutual benefit association, whose main purpose is to establish a pension fund and fix a time limit for retirement, in which they hope to be aided by national legislation. It is planned to lay aside a certain portion of salaries for AH the local theatres will give special Thanksgiving matinees Thursday. An interesting announcement of the present theatrical season concerns the coming to Chase's, on December 16, of Miss Henrietta Crosman, who will be seen in George C. Hazelton's merry play, "Mistress Nell." Miss Crosman will be remembered in Baltimore for many clever characterizations, but she has not been seen here since her remarkable success In the Hazelton comedy During that week the Percy Haswell stock company will play in Washington at Chase's Theatre. The company will do "The Liars" in Washington, and will then return to Baltimore on December 23.

when will be given the one hundredth performance of the stock company. The production of the latest Belasco play, "Madame Du Barry," in Washington December 9 will mark a "first nlghter." From Washington Mrs. Carter will come to Baltimore and then go to New York for a season's run. The dramatization of "Eben Holden" has proved a great success, and in the title role E. M.

Holland has achieved his greatest histrionic hit since his portrayal of Colonel Carter. Cecilia Loftus, who has been selected as the successor of Ellen Terry in Henry company, began her stage career as a mimic of celebrities. During the current season Miss Loftus is supporting E. H. Sothern in his new play, "If I Were King." It is stated that Mrs.

Patrick Campbell's new play, "Beyond Human Power," which she will present during her coming tour of this country, contains seven pastors and a bishop in its cast. Daniel Frohman says Bertha Galland is is the most promising star he has ever managed. Miss Galland has just concluded a three months' run at the Lyceum Theatre, New York, with her romantic play, "The Forest Lovers." The scenery of "If I Were King" requires three baggage cars for transportation and the costumes take up another. The play is said to be the costliest of Mr. Sothern's undertakings.

The most intense moment In "The Climbers," which Miss Amelia Bingham will present at the Academy of Music on Monday, December 30, is the dark scene at the end of the second act in which the embezzling husband is made to confess his theft. The scene resembles somewhat that of the apparition in "The Bells," and so worked upon the feelings of the audience on the first night at the Bijou Theatre, New York, that Miss Bingham decided to dimly Illuminate the theatre. EAGLES TO HAVE A BENEFIT Expect Crowds At Auditorium Music Hall Tomorrow. The benefit committee of the Fraternal Order of Eagles will report this afternoon at the regular meeting of the Aerie that all arrangements are completed, and the benefit to be held tomorrow afternoon and evening at the Auditorium Theatre promises to be a big success socially and financially. A handsome program has been gotten up for distribution to the audience.

It contains a history of the order and halftone photographs of the officers and members of the benefit committee. The attraction will be Reilly Woods' Vaudeville Company, with an entirely new company program, several of the acts coming direct from Europe and to be produced In this country for the first time at the benefit. The boxes and lobby will be decorated with smilax and evergreens, and suspended from the top of the stage will be a facsimile of the Eagles' button In red, white and blue electric lights.

Washington, Nov. 23. The correspondent here of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, in commenting upon the possible attitude of the Schley Court of Inquiry Admiral Hchley, writes to his paper, saying among other things: "Admiral Dewey has taken the position firmly that he will not sign a verdict that in any way censures Rear-Admiral Schley. The other members of the court Rear-Admiral Benham and Rear-Admiral Ramsay have not taken this decided position, but, so far as they have expressed their conclusions, it is understood they will no doubt join in the ultimate vindication of Schley. "When the court adjourned after fae completion of the record it was surmised from the character of the questions submitted by Rear-Admiral Benham that he had practically reached the belief that Schley was censurable for the retrograde movemept.

1 If the information as to Admiral Dewey's opinion is true, it would seem that he can see in tbe circumstances of that movement no ground for criticism of the commandex-in-chief of the Flying Squadron. Those who profess to know the reasons which actuate Admiral Dewey say that he has been unable to look at the accusations made against Schley from any other standpoint than his own feelings when undergoing the fearfully concentrated responsibilities of commanding a squadron in battle. The uncertainties and perplexities that beset Schley at Cienfuegos and Santiago he has compared with his own experience in sailing into Manila bay, although he did so with a map in his hand betraying the course left free from mines by the Spaniards as a means of exit for their own ships." THE "VANDERBILT TENDER" Has Cylindrical Water Tank And Coal Box Of New Design. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l New York, Nov. 23.

Cornelius who has set a pace that railroad Inventors have found hard to follow, has just obtained a patent for an improved type of locomotive tender. Friendly experts at the Grand Central Station say that Mr. Vanderbilt has now on record from ten to twelve Inventions for locomotives alone that are of the greatest importance. They reverse methods which hitherto have distinguished locomotive architecture, and the Vanderbilt type of locomotiv'es is now practically a distinct one. Mr.

Vanderbilt's latest Invention to receive the sanction of the Government, through the Patent Office, Is a tender, consisting of a cylindrical water tank and, superposed on the end next the locomotive, a coal box of new design. The old-fashioned square box construction, heavy, clumsy and unscientific, is done away with. The tender runs on two ordinary coach trucks of four wheels On the platform rests a cylinder resembling the tank on an oil car. This carries the water, about 6,000 or 7,000 gallons. Economy in carrying and handling coal and lightness and at the same time increased strength of the parts of the tender are all said to be attained by the Vanderbilt model.

"MOONSHINING" IN PITTSBURG An Illicit Still Operated Near The Center Of The City. Pittsburg, Nov. 23. United States revenue officers today unearthed right in the heart of Pittsburg an illicit still, it is said, "moonshine" whisky has been manufactured for months past. The alleged operator of the distillery Harry Selkowltz, lias Harry S.

Sharkowitz is in jail, charged with having a still and distilling apparatus set up which "are not registered. The location of the still is in a dwelling at 34 Pride street, where a complete outfit of 18 gallons daily capacity, three tubs of mash and many gallons of distilled spirits were found. It Is said Sharkowitz has been doing a thriving business by selling the liquor, throngh the agency of peddlers, to Hungarians, Slavs and other foreign quire little nnanciai aia irom tne iiovern-ment.

When they eat I do not know." Scannell On Board Of Governors. Members of the Democratic Club received today the list of officers to be elected a week from tomorrow night at the annual meeting of the club.

Much comment was caused by the fact that the name cf Fire Commissioner John J. Scannell appears among the candidates to be chosen for the board of governors to serve until 1904. Some of the members expressed dissatisfaction that Mr. Scannell, who is under indictment on a charge of neglect of duty and conspiracy to defraud the city, should have been placed on the ticket. Mr.

Scannell's associates for the board of governors to be elected this year are Richard Croker, Thomas E. Crimmins and John W. Keller, Commissioner of Charities. Mr. Crimmins is a brother of John D.

Crimmins, one of the fusion leaders, and he has been out of favor with Mr. Croker in recent years. Mr.i Keller's repudiation of the Tammany "spoils system" was made after he had been decided upon for re-election to the board. Feared He Would Kill George Heimer, 30 years old, who said that he had lived alone at Flushing and Johnson avenues, Williamsburg, entered the Hamburg Avenue Police Station ear'y this morning and begged to be locked up. Holmer declared that he had an uncontrollable desire to end hisvlife, and he was afraid that unless he was restrained he would kill himself.

He was questioned and said that he was alone in the world. AH the members of his family were dead, and for a long time he had been in hard luck. Several times he had been on the point of leaping Into Newtown creek. Some men who had watched him and evidently divined his purpose chased him away from tha waterfront. Door Closed On Applications.

This was Mayor-elect Low's last day for receiving applications for office and his mail was heavy. He announced that no more letters from applicants will be considered by him after tonight and is satis-fled that he has quite a sufficient list to select from. In fact, the sorting and classi fication of the applications already received will take up the time of two secretaries for a couple of days. A large number of persons went to Mr. Low's headquarters today in the hope of getting an opportunity to further the candidacy of themselves and their friends.

He will not be able to 6ee anyone after today except by appointment. Arrivals At Hotels. St. George Miss Murphy, Baltimore. Astor J.

In spite of rain and mud a good crowd saw Washington and Jefferson play the Carlisle Indians to a scoreless conclusion. Much fumbling and necessarily slow play detracted from the enjoyment of the game. Washington and Jefferson in the first half worked trick plays to advantage, but the Indians soon became wise an managed in most instances to break up the combinations, with a loss for Washington and Jefferson.

Nov. 23. Delayed seven hours by a wreck on the railroad, the MarieFta College football team did not reach here until 4 o'clock to play Its scheduled game against West Virginia University, and It was 5 o'clock when the contest began. The game was played for the most part In darkness and on a field two Inches deep with water. No one present saw the plays, but after 20 minutes of play the officials announced a touchdown for West Virginia University, and the game ended with the score 5 to 0.

Rain came down in torrents during the game, but 500 persons were on the field. Homestead, IS; Philadelphia, O. Philadelphia, Nov. 23. The Homestead football team of Pittsburg defeated the Philadelphia professionals at the Philadelphia Baseball Park this afternoon by the score of 18 to 0 in 30-minute halves.

The local team was completely outplayed and never menaced the Homestead goal. Once it was near enough to the visitors goal for Roller to try for a place kick, but the ball fell five yards short and hopes of scoring vanished. The game was vicious from start to finish. The officials paid no attention to slugging, but the numerous changes in the llne-np of the two teams show how bitterly fought the game really was. There was a continuous drizzle during the entire game, which made it very unpleasant for the 800 spectators.
