How a Stout Old Sea Fighter Defended Ills Wooden Ships. -7 Old Admiral Farragut said that the best defence against an enemy's guns Is not armor-plate, but a fierce and well-directed return fire that will silence the foe.

He believed in protect- ing his ships, but he relied for success upon good guns and brave men. Battles are won with them, not with armor: Now that the season is changing, it Is unnecessary to recommend snore protection for your body in the shape of clothing. But no fabric ever woven will keep out the autumn colds that fasten themselves upon the system so rapidly and stick so long. Doubtless you know people who, although lightly clad, never seem to take cold; while others cough and shiver, despite all their wrapping. The people of the first class, like Farragut's ships, are defended from within.

They have nerves stout as whipcord and blood that leaps with the irrepressible vigor of perfect health. rect nealtn. Bout Lasts 14 Rut When Result is aunt. "Carmen" IIII by the Castle ODora Campus divided by Miss Jean Mawson and Mr I terday. The triple bill of attractions E.

In all really essential respects she was an admirable Carmen in a dramatic sense, while her singing that ot an artist who deservedly received the greatest reward which a house full of admirers could bestowunanimous outbursts of applause and encores, renewed again and again. Nor was Mr Murray'll, Toreador one whit behindhand in popular favor, his frank and pleasing personality, plc turesque appearance, dramatic act on, and effective singing, enabling him to hold admiration of the audience as if it had comprised but one person.

The Toreador song was sung by him in a manner that will render it a delightful memory to those who heard it for a long time to come, as proven by the three overwhelming encores which he was obliged to accede to before the audience would be satisfied. Mr Persse sang the role of Don Jose well, leaving little to be desired in that respect. If he could only acquire a little more of the air of the soldier, breadth of action and Indication of conscious power, he would easily deserve praise with the best in the cast. In Michaela Miss Mason sang, as she always does, with an ease and sweetness which was thoroughly pleasing, and she. too, with a little More repose and expressive action, could win the heartiest approval for her conscientious In Il Doncairo and II Remendado respectively' Messrs Wolff and Wooley were not afforded their usual opportunities for fun making, but their efforts, so far as circumstances allowed of their being displayed, were fully appreciated, and met with prompt and unmistakable approval, while the serious work which fell to them was done with excellent discretion and strong dramatic effect.

The remaining members of the cast, as well as the entire chorus, acquitted themselves with an evident conscientiousness of purpose and capability generally that was not disappointing in the least. The mounting and costuming was satisfying in its liberality and adherence to truthfulness as regards time and locality of the story, the rich and charming dresses of Carmen being worthy of praise in the highest degree. A special matinee will be given on Thanksgiving day, and the usual Wednesday matinee omitted this week. AT THE HOLLIS. "CARITT.T.179 McCoy Gets All Hqt Wants in Old Country.

The fight took place at the Bolingbroke club. 'Both men fought fast from the beginning. The first and second rounds were in Palmer's favor. The third, fourth and fifth were pretty even, neither man getting much the better of the other. Thereafter Palmer bad the advantage in nearly every round.

and in the 14th round, when the fight was awarded to Palmer, Plimtrier was dazed by the pounding Palmer had given him. Another event on the program was a fight between White and McCoy.

Two big audiences, delighted and entertained, is the story of the first presentation in this city yesterday, at the Palace theater. of Joseph Oppenheimer's spectacular production, "Zero." The piece has a clever but slight plot and a consistent story, and its continuity is maintained throughout its action. It is in three acts and abounds in laughable situations. The music is catchy, and It is staged with elaborate scenery and gorgeous costumes. The calcium and electric effects are beautiful.

The story of the piece is based on the attempt of a wealthy and eccentric Irishman to reach the North pole. The company which interprets the play is well balanced, and the girls and there are about 20 of themare all handsome and shapely. The opening act introduces the full strength of the company. and dances, marches and specialties follow in rapid succession. The second act, which takes place on board the good ship Zero, is largely given up to vaudeville, and some excellent specialties sre introduced by Foster and Lewis, Madden and Curran, the Monroe sisters, Charles Banks, Fish and Quigg, Miss M.

Florence Edwards and the girls of the company. They execute one of the best marches and drills ever seen at the Palace. The last act is magnificently staged, and the different beautiful transformations shown called forth much applause. The scene is laid in the icy regions of the polar regions, but in spite of this the girls appear in gorgeous but very slight costumes, far too meager for the average mortals to wear in such a clime. However, they are supposed to be immortals.

and thus an excuse is offered for their lack of wardrobe. Miss Florence Edwards introduced her bewitching terpsichorears a la Phantasmagoria," which was made doubly attractive with van-colored light effects. Lyceum Theater. Two large audiences greeted Sam T. Jack's creole company at the Lyceum yesterday.

The bill was attractive and the performers were greeted with great applause. Comedians, singers and dancers in amusing array are in the troupe, and the singing is made a special attraction. In the first part new songs. fresh Jokes and other pleasing incidentals are introduced by Smith and Johnson, banjo comedians; Irving Jones, the jolly Jester; Coggin and Davis, sons of Olympia; Miss Florence Hines. versatile male impersonator, and Cole and Wiley, society sketch team.

The singing by Senorita Magarita Los Oros is a feature of the show. A corps of agile buck and wing dancers contest 1 for supremacy. Many other variety turns make the program a lively one. Next week the Gaiety burlesque company will come to the house. Eeaded Not Guilty to Charge of Arson When Arraigned.

Providence Club Defeats Fall River on the Former's Rink, After a Grand Exhibition of Game. PROVIDENCE. Nov 2Tom Cotter's Fall River polo team made a. desperate tight to shake off the hoodoo that has been upon them every time they have met the Providence grays this season, when they met for the fourth time at Infantry hall this evening. The visitors cut a terrific pace at the start and outplayed the home team in the first so that the score when the second period was started was 6 to 2 in favor of Fall River.

Then the home team cut loose and the way the home players played polo after that made the home partisans frantic with enthusiasm. Every man in the Fall Rivers was kept constantly covered, and the visitors were scarcely allowed to make a drive or pass without having it spoiled or taken by the grays. The fight for the winning goal lasted nearly eight minutes and it was marked by sturdy blocking on both sides. Repeatedly the ball was worked to the mouth of the Fall River goal. and then two and three Providence men would storm the Fall River cage in vain efforts to drive or sneak the ball in through the mass of defending players.

At one time six players were piled in a mass in the Fall River goal with the ball under them. The Fall Rivers saved the goal that time by burying the ball under them. Al Swords saved his goal once during this time by going to his knees to block off a dribbling play by Wodtke, who worked the ball down the center, carrying Connell and Smith along while they vainly tried to get the ball away from him. Swords rushed out of the circle and dropped Ur his knees as the final stroke was given too the ball. Being outside the circle it was only a common foul and not a foul in At last, in the midst of a scrimmage at the Fall River cage, in which Mills made brilliant stops in quick succession.

Newcomb met the ball on a bound from a stop and swept it into the goal, winning the game. Only a few minutes of time remained, and the home team played altogether on the defensive, and it was impossible for the Fall Rivers to pull out of the hole, although they fought like demons to the finish. The summary: PROVIDENCE Pierce 1r, Newcomb 2r, Connell C. Smith hb. Swords g.

Fall River referee, Keough; timer, astic audience present at the Bowdoin sq theater last night, and the applause bestowed upon the melodrama, "Northern Lights." was as hearty as on the first night of the production. Manager Atkinson has a winning card in this strong play, which is full of realistic features, and arouses the audience to great enthusiasm. Last night the curtain was repeatedly raised at the close of every act. The applause that greeted the excellent acting of William Courtleigh in the Indian role was most deserved. and Clarence Handysideswas also well rewarded for his efforts.

The piece is finely staged and the scenery is extremely natural. The thrilling scenes in the last act invariably excited enthusiasm, and the tableaux are remarkably striking. There will be three matinees this week. Wednesday. Thursday (Thanksgiving) and Saturday, which will supply excellent opportunities for ladies and children to enjoy this play.

The next attraction will not be "Saved from the Sea," as has been announced, but Fred fallen's company in "The 20th Century Girl." with Mollie Fuller, John T. Kelly, William Cameron. Gus Williams, Catherine Linyard and other favorites in the cast, and a chorus of 40 trained voices. "Too Much Johnson." The tide of public favor that has set in toward "Too Much Johnson" at the Museum is quite remarkable, for nothing like tha present success of the piece has been granted to any production at the Boston museum for years. Since the opening night the orchestra has been relegated to the regions under the stage, and the space occupied by eager listeners.

Nor is this all, for the advance sale has surged far ahead of anything this season, and shows no signs of growing less. Last evening, when the seoond week was begun, there were many turned away, unable to secure admission, and this state of affairs is likely to continue for the present week at least, as the two performances Thanksgiving day will be greeted by crowded houses. Mr Gillette's new play is repeating its success made in other cities, and when one has witnessed the performance the fact that it is doing so causes no surprise. NEW Nov 25A Cuban mes- senger, who arrived at the quarters of the Cuban junta in this city late this afternoon direct from the seat of the revolution; reported that. on Nov there took place what is believed to be the largest battle fought since the beginning of the present trouble.

The news has been withheld strictly, no newspaper being allowed to send It out. The battle occurred at Taguasco, a town in the interior of Cuba. The Spanish forces engaged consisted of 10,000 men while the Cubans had only about 4000. The Spaniards were led by Gene Vales, Lucius and Aldave, and Gen Maximo Gomez led the Cubans. The Cubans had a most favorable position at the foot of a hill.

For 36 hours the opposing forces but the Spaniards were unable to drive the Cubans back. The latter. however, could do no more than hold their own.

The bout was to be 15 rounds, but after the first the referee. Howie Hodgkins, awarled the contest to Hennessey. Twice Lablanche was knocked down clean, but he went to the floor a couple Of more times in such a manner that it gave the affair a suspicious look. Hennessey could hit "the Marine" when he wanted, and the counters of Lablanche were very weak. The Marine was not out when the round ended, but it was plain to the 500 spectators that it would not.

In the first round O'Conner staggered Sullivan twice with right-handers on the jaw. In the next round Sullivan used his left with effect, and O'Connor was in distress when the round ended. In the third and last round.

Sullivan gave his opponent no rest, and before half the round was over the referee stopped the bout and declared Sullivan the winner. O'Connor could not have stayed to the end of the round. MONTREAL, Nov 25The police have arrested Max Bachman, a commercial traveler charge of having set lire to the house in which he lived on yortier st, in 1892.

A. A. U. is Not at All Disappointed at the Resignation of Eight of the Pennsylvania Clubs. NEW YORK, Nov 25The story published today regarding the secession of eight western Pennsylvania clubs from the A.

A. U. is not causing the official of the latter body much worry. The clubs referred to held an indignation meeting yesterday and decided to form an independent association, to be christened at a meeting called for Dec 1. Their action is intended as a retaliation for the recent ruling of the A.

U. which suspended all concerned in the boxing and wrestling championships held at Allegheny, Penn. last March. Sec James E. Sullivan states that the Emerald is the only club named which is affiliated with the Atlantic association, and that the others must be small fry eking a precarious existence out of boxing entertainments.

He is in receipt of several- communications tending to throw some light on the famous entertainment which cost nearly $3000 to run. Until he gets at the exact facts he is inclined to be skeptical as to the detailed expenditures, which include such Items as two referees at POO each, four judges at $50 each and a large staff of minor officials on an equally liberal scale. Some of the letters received would lead one to suppose that amateur law is very freely interpreted in Allegheny, and further developments are awaited with interest. Grand Museum, The Two Orphans" was the dramatic offering at the Grand museum yesterday, and to judge from the large audiences in attendance, the famous play has lost none of its remarkable fascination for playgoers. Those present were highly delighted with the production, as well they might he, for the play was artistically acted, well staged and handsomely costumed.

Miss Kate Dallas scored a decided triumph as Henriette, and again showed herself to be the equal of any leading lady ever connected with the Grand. As Louise, the blind girl, Miss Lora Addison Clift gave a strong impersonation of a very difficult role. Mr Frank Drumier made an excellent de Vaudrey, while the same may be said of Mr Mark Ellsworth as Count de Linieres, Mr Frederick Murray as Pierre Frochard sod Mr Park Hughes as Picard. The remainder of the cast was most satisfactory. Clever specialties were contributed to the variety olio for the week by Wilhams and Woods, Yank Omo, May Bryant, Silver brothers, Trove llo, Ed Banker, Leona Lewis and William De Bat The big menagerie and its performing elephant attracted crowds of people to the exhibition hail.

CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL 1 ----i- 1 Samuel Butter Has Three Little Ones 1 Who Cannot be Accommodated In the West End. To the Editor of The Globe: I wish to call your attention to the public schools at the West end. I have three children who ought to he attending school, and I regret to say they are not. Why the city of Boston cannot furnish school accommodations for my children and hundreds of other poor children at the West end I am at a loss to understand. I have taken my children to school week after week in the hope that they might be admitted.

but there seems to be no room for them. Upon insisting that they should tie provided for I was referred to the politicians, whom, Lunderstood, could fix matters, and they told 111 to write to the school committee. I did so, but received no reply. I have been a citizen of Boston for the past 10 years and believe that my children are entitled to the benefits of the public schools. I trust that The Globe will interest itself in this matter of providing schools for children who should attend them.

It is a disgrace to the city that such a. state of affairs should exist, and I hope that The Globe will Investigate the matter and let the public know of the true state of affairs at the West end. Boston. Nov 23. Samuel Butter.

Keith's Theater. Those wonderful performing elephants of Lockhart 's drew great crowds of people to Keith's yesterday afternoon and evening, and from the opening until the going down of the curtain at night seats in all portions of the house were at a premium. Everything that had been predicted of the elephants was fulfilled, the great beasts going through the most marvelous feats with celerity and a seeming enjoyment of the applause which was so liberally bestowed on them. Thetr maneuvers are the most wonderful ever seen in this city, and no description can begin to do them Justice. They dance.

form pyramids, perform music, stand on their heads, and enact a little skit that is very laughable and entertaining. Every person, young and old, should contrive to see these amazingly intelligent beasts. The vaudeville program was one of the longest and most attractive which the management has presented for some time, and every act is enjoyable. The Eliott family of instrumentalists Is one of the cleverest that has been seen here for a long time. They perform on many Instruments.

string, reed and brass. and are among the finest bell ringers in the country. In addition to this they give an exhibition of fancy bicycle riding. Stack and Milton, the famed triple horizontal bar performers, gave an exhibition that was warmly applauded. The Mimic four gave a very laughable travesty on "Trilby." George Fuller Golden had a new monologue talk and some new songs; Pete Baker told stories with a German accent and sang some catchy ballads.

The Katta brothers are two of the best acrobats in the variety business; Hines and Remington typify the Bowery boy and girl; Fitzgerald and Kelly, Irish comedians, are good singers and dancers; Prof Abt's beautiful dissolving art views were much admired and applauded; the singing of Willie Russell, the phenomenal boy soprano, was encored; the contortion act of William Harbeck anti the fine slack wire performance of I Miss Harbeck both pleased the audience. QUINCY, Nov 25 The question of Quincy going into the metropolitan water supply system came up for a third reading and anal discussion at the Meet'', Ins of the city council this evening. The resolution, "That Mayor Hodges be instructed to appear before the board of commissioners and request that Quincy be included in the metropolitan water supply bill under the terms of the act," was taken from the table early in the evening, and Councilman Rice immediately moved to amend, "provided that Quincy be included on as favorable tome as in the original act." This amendment was accepted. Councilmen Bryant, Phillips and low spoke in opposition, and men Adams. Iti( Nickerson and Russell in favor.

The vote was 13 in favor and 7 opposed, lacking a two-thirds, as follows: Yes, Adams, Dixon, Gorey, Lamb, Nickerson, O'Brien, Parker.Pink, ham, Rice, Ituotiell, Shockley. Spear, Sprague; no. Barker, Bigelow, Bryant, Orindell, Hayden, Phillips, Sidelinger. Free Bass ruled that a two-thirds vote of all the members was necessary, but Councilman Rice objected, and by a vote it was decided to leave the ques- .1. tion with the city 'solicitor for his opin- ion.

The committee on salaries reported and recommended a salary of $50) each t'-' to the three sewer commissioners. Ite- City Solicitor Blackman handed in an opinion on the dispute between the city and the First church parish on the ownership of the land outside of the church boundary line. Mr Blackman said that the church had no right to close up the way on the northerly side of the church, but the parish. he thought, had a legal right to part of the highway known as Temple et. He believed that an order should be Introduced in the council to widen Tern-pie et to the present church lines, also to widen Hancock and Washington sts rear the fountain and close up the thoroughfare now in dispute.

The mat, ter was referred to the committee on streets. This disposal of the much-argued Question between the church and city 7 is understood to be satisfactory to the parish people, but it Is expected that the attempt to close the street will be met with considerable opposition.

The Knelsel quartet gave its second concert of the season in Association hall last night before an audience which was both large and appreciative. The quartet was assisted by Mr L.

Pourtau, clarinet, and Mr Arthur Foote, piano. The excellence of the work of this organization is too well known for any extended comment at this time. It is sufficient to say that it was never heard to greater advantage than in the Beethoven quartet in flat major, opus 74, and the Mozart quartet in major. In the four movements of the former the same delightful spontaneity. delicate shading and general excellence which has characterized the nuarters work in the past were apparent throughout.

The rendering of the Mozart quartet was most enjoyable and wpn the recognition It deserved. The Brahms sonata in major, opus 120. No. 1. for clarinet and piano, was heard for the first time here.

Mr Portau was warmly welcomed. He played finely the most intricate passages. Mr Foote's work was as alwaysclear cut. decisive and never inartistic. The third concert of the series will be given Monday evening, Dec 30.

and his companion, John Jewett, were alone on the pond, near Ferneroft inn. Jewett broke in first, but clung to a post and got out. Gardner ventured further out, against the protests of Jewett, and went under. Jewett threw hint a board and a pole, but was unable to save him. The drowning boy told Jewett to call for help, and then disappeared, the board going down with him.

For a 10-year-old boy Master Jewett made a noble effort to save the life of his young playmate. Austin Stone's. The second race, with eight athletic young women as contestants, was begun In the lecture hall at Austin Stone's museum yesterday morning. There was a great crowd present. Considerable feeling has arisen between these oarswomen, some of them contending that the prizes distributed last week were not given out fairly.

The management. on the other hand, state that the prizes were distribtited as recommended by the judges, and that personally they were not interested in this part of the race at all. This statement has been received by the women with anything but good grace. However bitter the feeling is every one of the contestants is bound to win the prizes offered this week, and they are all bending their backs and pulling at the oars to come in in the lead. Many new feats were introduced by Mlle Yucca, the female Sandow.

She swung ponderous dumbbells with apparent ease, lifted and carried around on her shoulders over 750 pounds. held up a 200-pound man with her teeth. broke a streng chain with her neck muscles and did other startling feats. She lifted, with the aid of no other harness than a belt and shoulder-Straps, a platform on which were 10 men, a total weight of over 1500 pounds. In a scientific sense, however, Mile Yucca is not such a wonder as she seems.

Physicians who have examined her say there is nothing abnormal in her development, and she is a most in- teresting example of what other women could do if they were to try. All women could not become Yuccas, but they could improve their physical condition If they were to exercise as she explains to every woman who inquires her method of training. All of the many features in the hall attracted the attention of every visitor. and the stage entertainments were received with much pleasure. Of the performers who were liberally rewarded with applause for their efforts to please were Sheffer and Blakely, the Eclipse comedy four, Jones and Taggart, Sheridan and Mack, John J.

Drink Cannot be Found Even With a Search Warrant BAR HARBOR, Me, Nov 25The saloons, according to promise, are closed, and are likely to remain so until spring. It was said that the owners intended to shut their front doors only and open the rear doors, but they have complied with the letter of agreement, and it would be very difficult to find a drink with a search warrant today.

Naturally the temperance people are jubilant. and they regard the result as a triumph. The saloon keepers expect, however, to reopen their places in the spring. Whether the same war will be carried on against them next summer they can get no assurance from the leaders In the temperance crusade, and they are simply resting on their oars. Local Fire Record.

The play is none the less interesting because it is a melodrama after the touching if old-fashiored plan on which villainy always is punished and virtue always is rewarded. But the scenes, nearly all of which are laid in the vicinity of a cotton mill village in England, are so realistic that the audience last night often was unwilling to wait for the whirligig of time to bring in its revenges. and enticipated the judgments of justice by unmistakable signs of approval or disappointment when an honorable or an evil deed was done. Mr John B. Mason, Boston's old favorite, was welcomed very cordially on his appearance in the first scene of the first act, and thereafter on several occasions his work was rewarded by the most generous applause.

His acting was conscientious and effective, and the role gave him a particularly good opportunity. Mr Dominick Murray gave a very excellent performance, and was natural and foreeful in trying scenes. Miss Roselle Knott put abunetant energy into her part, and carried with great success some of the most striking scenes in the play. Mr J. W.

If there were any people in the audience that went to scoff at the idea of a company habituated to the interpretation of comic opera presuming to essay one el the works usually included in the repertoires of grand opera companies, those misguided individuals were left without a leg to stand on, figuratively speaking, and doubtless theyjoined with the heartiest good will in the frequent outbursts of approbation that followed In rapid succession throughout the progress of the piece, although reaching their climax after the chorus of the Toreador's song, which was sung four times before the action of the opera could be resumed. and which led to a curtain call for the Carmen, and some of the other prineipals of the cast. The audience was one to be proud of, showing that the amount of the admisSten fee has little to do with the character of the attendanee at this playholise, and the evidences of wealth and fashion which crowded the boxes as well as the orchestra seats spoke eloquently in behalf of the high quality of the musical offerings of this theater.

Rtteter star Curse. At the seventh concert of the Boston Star course, given in Music hall last evening, Miss Ida Benfey, dramatic reader, shared the honors with the Beethoven club. Before the young elocutionist had spoken a dozen lines every one was listening intently. As she continued her selection, which was taken from George Eliot's "Mill on the Floss," bringing out forcibly by her dramatic actions and tones the true characters as if they were all present in person, instead of in proxy, the faces of the audience gradually took on an expression of delight and gratification which told more plainly than words that she had scored a success. The audience demonstrated its approbation by bursts of applause when she had finished, and were not satisfied until she gave another selection.

Her other numbers, front Miss Wilkins and Bret Harte, were no less pleasing than her previous ones. Miss Benfey has a strong voice, good dramatic ability, a finished style and possesses a charming personality, a combination of qualities to which she owes her success.
