TUCKER BISPHAM, Solicitor. The Musical Recitations of a Fin de Steele Artist Who is Quite Unique. The Chestnut Street Opera House was crowded yesterday afternoon with a very fashionable audience, attracted by the only appearance in Philadelphia of Yvette Gull-bcrt, an artist whose nuique personality has In a short time won her a world-wide reputation. French comic singers of various types we have heard without number, but Mile. Guilbert is something different from these.

She Is a comedienue, a dramatic reciter, who has developed the art of musical speech in the chanson upon lines parallel with its development in the lyric drama, treating the music as subordinate and contributary to the sense to be expressed. She is thus only secondarily a singer, though when she sings it Is not only with clearness of expression, but with a true musical delivery, her bright and incisive voice having remarkable flexibility. The fact that the greater number of her songs are distinctly off-color, while it limits her acceptability with an American audience, does not impair the wit and beauty of her art. Indeed, the most effective things she did yesterday were Beranger's pretty" song of the grandmother. "La Lisette delivered sitting In an armchair with ruffled collar thrown over her head In the manner of a cap a bit of simple Impersonation very delicate and fine In sentlnieut.

and the dramatic recital of "La Soularde," where the woman's slavery to drink was suggested with singular skill and deep pathetic power. YVETTE GUIL9ERT. Of course, the naujrhty humor of such souirs as "Les Ineenues" and "Ca fait tou jour piaisir." not to mention the dreadful "Fiacre." is of a more familiar and obvious kind, but the street songs, which correspond to the London coster songs, are scarcely to be nnorcciated outside of Paris. Mile, ouu- bert gave a very witty burlesque of a London concert-hall singer In "Linger Longer, Loo," nut wuen sue unnertooK aciuany to kiiik an KncrHsh sonir. Rome verses of "Her Golden Hair." It watt nnlte beneath her own stand ard, having much of that lack of lightness and spontaneity that we feel in an English attempt at a French song.

On the other nana tne "moaest imitation oi aiauanie Bernhardt was a triumnh. Yverte hsfi he.n so often described and de- Elcted that It Is unnecessary to say much of er personal appearance, except that In its peculiar and unconventional modernity, the flexibility of the slim figure, with the bare shoulders and long arms, the finesse of the piquant face, under a wild ebevelure blonde russe, it has nn attraction entirely its own. There is an utter absence of all ine ordinary allures: there Is no mistaking the presence of an artist, of wit and sentlmeut and brains. Mile. Gulibert appearances were interspersed with singing by a fairly capable ntiartette.

which included Mr. Hartley, an agreeable tenor, and Mr. Ganor, formerly of the Grand Opera House, but these singers doubtless felt, as the audience did, that they were only filling in time and they uia nothing to reauire comment. Yvette had the last turn, and in answer to the loud applause that indicated not onlv the nleasure she had given, but that the audience wanted more, sue aaneu a lime recunnon concerning ies Vleux Messieurs" that was not In the "reper toire pour les jeunes gens" previously alluded to, and tho ladies did not asa a repetition.

The pores of the skin are opened, the blood moves quickly through the veins and all Impurities are thrown out of the system. But when the weather is cold, the pores are closed: the blood becomes thick and stagnant, it does not circulate properly and you feel weak and shivery. Most people feel chilly In winter for this reason, and that Is why colds and chills are so prevalent. There Is, however, one way to keep from feeling these chilly sensations and avoiding the dangers of wintertime. Many people have fortunately discovered this way and are giving others the benefit of their experience.

F. Weltzer. of Newport. says: "I was very sick last winter wltn grip ana pneumonia. I tried many remedies without getting relief until I was persuaded to take Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.

The result was that in a few days my aches and pains left me. I commenced to recover at once, and was soon completely restored to health." J. E. Edwards, of Los Angeles, says: "About five years ago I took a terrible cold which settled on my lungs. I suffered continually and was unable to shake it off until I tried Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.

It soon gave me back health and strength aud effected a thorough cure." These cases and thousands of others like them funiso the best proof that for building up the system and driving off disease Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is nneqnaled. Nothing oas ever compareo witn it Tor Ruminating and toning up the whole body and restoring the health. It shakes and arouses to action the torpid biood. It promotes appetite, digestion, assimilation. Taken regularly dur-log the winter, it Is a sure means of preventing coughs, colds, chills and pneumonia.

expression of opinion upon Pennsylvania's base ball rules from them and their co-operation In enforcing a uniform code to be formulated. The suggestion will probably be acted on, so that the faculty will probably not decide the question as to the present candidates' eligibility for some time. WHITE IN CHAMPIONSHIP FORM Ed Cole Badly Defeated in a Decisive Game in the Inter-Club Pool Tourney. The interest In the inter-club pool tournament yesterday centered in the match between E. W.

Cole and Thomas Earle White, which was brought off In the evening. Both men were as yet undefeated, and it was considered that the winner of this match would dispute the championship with T. R. Beaney. Cole was installed the favorite on the strength of his victory over the same opponent last year, and recent fine performances in practice games.

For once the critics were wrong, however, as White took the lead In the first frame, and by superior all-around play continued to forge ahead, finally running out a winner in the sixteenth frame by 33 points. White's chief point of excellence was his ability to make long shots, a stroke In which Cole proved wofully deficient, thereby losing many excellent opportunities. The Cole-Kennedy match, which was not concluded until 1.30 yesterday morning, resulted iu a victory for the Pen and Pencil Club's representative by 14 points, after the hardest kind of a fight. In the afternoon Kennedy took revenge on Townsend, whom he defeated in easy style. Relow will be found the score by frames and the standing of the contestants to date: Cole 7, 3.

LANDIS Enongh Citizen Hare Signed a Petition to Bring the Question Before the Voters at the Spring Election, and the People Are So Evenly Divided That It is Impossible to Tell Which Side Will Win Arguments for a Return to the Township Form of Government, Special Telegram to The Times.

Vineland. January 21. As time draws near to the spring election excitement grows regarding the scheme of C. K. Land is.

to change the present borough form of government back to the township form under which Vineland was first incorporated. Several petitions have been circulated through the town, giving Mr. Landls' reason why the citizens should desire such a change, with the result that enough signatures of legal voters have been received to bring the question to a vote this spring. Mr. Landis has a long communication In today's local papers giving his reasons why this plan would be desirable and of benefit to the people, among which are the following: That as a borough, the place is going backward instead of forward.

Inasmuch as a borough form of government is of a monarchical disposition, and not democratic. That by returning to a township form expenses are reduced, and, consequently, taxation. That township government Is by the people and for the people, equalizing rights and taking the reins of government from the hands of a few and placing them In the hands of the many. Several more reasons are duly set forth in the article, one of which touches oa the right of Council to grant liquor licenses. Those opposed to the movement are quietly gathering their forces together with a view to working against and, If possible, defeating it when it comes to a vote.

Considerable excitement is manifested over the question. It being the chief topic conversation. Men gather in little groups on the street while going to and from business, arguing the question. Even the women have taken it up and champion or scoff at the Idea, as the case may be, one woman having written an ode in commemoration of the scheme. At present It Is impossible to predict which way tho vote of the people will be.

Nevertheless, a constant effort is being made by the boomers to use all means In their power whereby their purpose may be gained. HOME FOR ORPHAN BOYS Sisters of St. Joseph, of This City, Presented With a Plot of Ground. Special Telegram to The Times. Sex Isle Citt, January 21.

There was unusual rejoicing in Tncle Dave" Hamlll's home, up in Hard wick township. Warren county, to-day. For the past thirty years Dave has lived almost a life of solitude and has spoken very little to any one, and never a word to his wife, Sarah Ann, who is the mother of two sons and one daughter. It was In the fall of 1866, when Marcus L. Ward was a candidnte for Governor, that "Uncle Dave" "laid himself out" in behalf of the Republican ticket.

He worked night and day for his friend Ward, having some sort of an acquaintance with the War Governor and conceiving a great personal fancy for him as a man. His wife came of good Democratic stock, bptng a Sussex county girl, and her husband's enthusiasm did not suit her at all. She found a great deal of fault with David aud finally the old man got mad and a family row was the result. The boys chimed in with their mother and with their combined aid they "fired" the old man. as they termed him.

out of the house, telling him he might go and live with Marcus Ward If he wanted to. He then and there declared that after Ward's time was out, if the Republicans did not elect the next Governor he would never return home until they did. Hamill built himself a rude house. Just large enough to accommodate himself, and there he has lived all these years. His people tried time and time again to effect a reconciliation, hut without effect.

They would talk to him, but he never said a word. All their efforts were in vain, until last fall, when the news of the election of Governor Griggs reached him through a country newspaper. Then he was a changed man. and in a short time he told 0 neighbor to sny to the "old woman" that as soon as Governor Griggs got into his chair he would come home. He returned to bis old home this morning.

The Temple was again crowded yesterday afternoon tp hear the noted evangelist, Dwight L. Moody. Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Moody's assistant, opened the sen-ices with singing.

Prior to beginning his talk Mr. Moody advanced to the front of the platform and asked everyone present to ask friends and neighbors to come to the Business Men's meetings In the Young Men's Christian Association Hall, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, to-day, to-morrow and Friday, which are conducted by Dr. Chapman, of the Bethany Presbyterian Church, between 12 and 1 o'clock noon. He felt highly gratified at the results of his meetings during the past week In Philadelphia, and said that bis work was not In vain, as many men had been converted. "Atonement" vas Mr.

Moody's subject, and he said thatno other doctrine In the Bible, from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelations, was more assailed than the doctrine of the atonement of the precious blood of the Lamb "When Moses told the children of Israel that ther were to he shield ed from the destroying angel by the blood of ine iamn on meir aoors. tney were not injured, the anirel did not even ston to look in their homes. Why? Because tbty placed themselves behind the blood; they believed iu the blood, and the nngel passed over them and they were saved. Do you suppose if a person had placed a lamb on their door that they would have been spared? No, Indeed, they would not; it takes more than the lamb. It takes the blood of the lamb.

The atonement of the blood is what saved them, aud it will save us. "Christ was not killed for his sins. He was crucified for the sins of the world. You cannot have law wilhout a penalty; It would be nn absurdity. We must either die or get someone td die for us.

God demands life, and he demands blood. If I cannot pay the penalty I must get a substitute, one who will nay the penalty for me. Death is our only safety, and we must either slnv the iamD to secure us oiooa, or aeatu will claim its victim. "The blood is precious because it redeems us. it cost an t.ou hart to redeem this world.

He gave up the son of his bosom, and when he came down to this world he gave up his life. The blood is precious because it blots out: it clears out our sins." Following Mr. Moody's discourse a series or prayers was onereu. lea ty lr. peltz.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM WILSON DEAD He Was a Gunner During the War and Was Promoted for Bravery.

Captain William Wilson, U. S. who died Monday afternoon at his home, 255 South Forty-fourth street, will be buried to-morrow at 2 P. under the auspices of the Naval Battalion from his late residence. Captain Wilson was 64 years old.

He was born in England and came to America when IS years old. In his early manhood he entered the service of the United States as a sailor and fol'jwed the sea until his re tirement three years ago, on account of falling sight. During the war he fought at the storniiug of Fort Fisher and later served under Admiral Farragut at the battle of Mobile. His record during the war was creditable. He entered as gunner and was a captain when the war ended.

His career was marked by many acts of bravery, one notable instance occurring during the blockading of New Orleans. The sloop Vincenues was about to fall Into the bauds of the rebels and a match was set to blow the craft up. Before the fire reached the magazine reinforcements arrived and the danger of the capture of the vessel was past. Captain Wilson, then a gunner, volunteered to board the seemingly doomed boat and try to extinguish the fuse and save the ship. His attempt was successful and his hand grasped the burning fuse before it reached the powder.

This was one of the deeds which resulted in his promotion. 1 HIS BEASON A BUSINESS ONE He Will Nevertheless Instruct the Men When the Opportunity Presents If It it Desired Favors Otto Wacenhorst for the Flace President Gejrelln Writes the Faculty Committee on Fase Ball Penn'e Position Jn the Quadrilateral Freshman Kace Orton for Track Captain.

His meaning was entirely foreign to that expressed. In conversation on the subject yesterday he said: "I have not been approached on the subject of coachlDg the crew since last fall. George Q. Hodwlta at that time came to me and tried to persuade me to reconsider my determination to give up my position. I told him then that I would gladly help them out if they needed' me, but under no condition would accept the place as the crew's coach again.

My position now is unchanged. "I cannot accept the place, because I am practicing law. The work of coaching is entirely too great and too engaging to enable me to do both. 1 consequently must give up coaching. It Is not my profession, and eventually I shall give it up altogether.

"At the close of the foot-ball season last year I did not know whether or'not I should coach the team again. I may say now that I will again take it in hand, but foot-ball and rowing are greatly different. "The foot-ball season Is but two months in length, and requires not more than two bours' work a day. The rowing season is six months in length, and requires each entire afternoon and frequent mornings. In fact, it requires nearly triple the work of the other.

I could not practice law under these conditions. "I shall be glad should Captain Bull request It to Rpend all my spare time with the crew, directing and criticising the men's work. I do this, however, as a Pennsylvania graduate entirely. I am Interested in their success, and willing to work for It. Further tban this I cannot go." When asked whom he regarded as the most acceptable man for the place, be said: "I think Pennsylvania should endeavor, If possible, to secure a man In the Yale school of rowing who is capable of teaching the Cook stroke.

There are many that I might name. I believe the Yale stroke Is a winning one and should be chosen. Pennsylvania has been taught It and her crew believe In It. All the old men are back and under such conditions the chances of success are great. If possible they should secure Dob Cook himself.

"Whether he would take It or not Is a question. Of that I cannot say. Josh Hnrtwell would be another good man for the place. I think he could be secured. If no Yale man can be gotten, I would suggest a man In Pennsylvania's own school, which is In reality an outgrowth and offspring of the Yale.

"There Is no one more able than Otto Wagenburst. He coached the freshmen crew last year and succeeded admirably. He could teach the stroke to the new men and could detect and correct the faults of the old men as well. In short, I believe him to be able to discharge all the duties satisfactorily. Moreoer, he could probably be secured." An endeavor was made to secure an expression of opinion on Woodruff's suggestions from the rowing authorities.

All who could be seen were non-committal, and would express no opinion and give out no Information. A man who is closely identified with Pennsylvania's athletics said, however: "I agree with Woodruff that the Yale stroke la a winning one. I believe If Yale enters the four-cornered race she will win It unless Pennsylvania defeats her. I believe that a laie man should be secured as conch if Woodruff will not again do so. But to Cook's selection I am unalterably opposod.

My reasons are not that I do not consider him fitted for the place, but are purely because I do not consider It would be to Pennsylvania's interest. "I am quite sure that with Cook as stroke, Pennsylvania would not get a bit of credit out of victory. Everyone would say: 'Well, that man Cook is a great and would not think of Pennsylvania, lint if Pennsylvania lost they would say: 'Well, those fellows had better give up rowing. Even Cook can do nothing with This Is because Cook has made a reputation. "I think Hartwell would be a good man, and I would like to see him as coach.

He teaches the winning stroke, could probably teach it well, and has not made his reputation. "As to Otto Wngenhurst, I am not at all afraid that he would not do well, for I think he turned out a wonderfully good freshman crew, considering the material at hand, last year. He knows the stroke well, and can teach It. He could accept the position, too, if relieved of a little of the work. This Captain Bull would uo doubt undertake.

"There is one stipulation which I think Wagenhurst would make, that is that Woodruff would consent to come out once a week and coach aud criticise his work act as a sort of head conch. This, I think. Woodruff would do. In short, I think Wngenhurst would be an acceptable and a practicable selection." The position of Pennsylvania upon entering the four-cornered race with the freshman eights of Harvard, Columbia and Cornell was yesterdny explained by Chairman Thomas Heath In a letter written to the Ponnsylv-anlan. It reads as follows: "As there seems to be some misapprehension as to the possible quadripartite freshman race, I would like to make the following statement: "The attitude of Columbia, Cornell and Harvard is that they will probably join In a race of crews composed of 'college at or about the time of the University race.

They are desirous that Pennsylvania should enter a crew for such a race, but they are all firmly of the opinion that 'college freshmen' only shall row. Under this state of affairs, the question whioh will come before the University athletic committee seems to be whether Pennsylvania shall enter a crew of 'college or in all probability have no freshman race whatever." Pennsylvania is holding out for University representation. She believes in permitting only men who are in a college for the first time to row and in prohibiting men who have ever rowed in a winning eight. In other words, true freshmen and novices. She does not believe, however, in prohibiting any 'freshman, no matter what his department.

Pennsylvania may be compelled to waive point and euter notwithstanding, but she will enter her boat not as the "University of Pennsylvania freshman crew," but as the "College freshman crew of the University of Pennsylvania." For the benefit of those freshmen cut out by such an action she will hold class regat- tas, where every class will turn out a crew, which will conteBt for the University championship. These crews will all be carefully "coached, and will, it is hoped, develop much material for the University crew. George W. Orton is the most likely candidate for the captaincy of the Pennsylvania track team and will probably be selected at the team's meeting to-day, when Captain Wiboru's successor will he chosen. Orton has been a most interested worker In the team's behalf and will unquestionably be a good leader.

Smith, of the faculty athletic committee, suggesting that the faculty committee communicate with other colleges Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Cornell requesting an Perfect Mated, Health, Strength and Vigor EDWIN N.
