CHICAGO.

The siipisisitlon was that a* soon aa the the¬ atres reopened business would be tirlsk. *iUt as jet such has not been the case. While there has lieeu what might be termed good bouses <n several occasions, the attendance has not been up to the standard.

Illinois—It Is due to the rare and peculiar quality of Mr. Irving's art that one rarely sees him without feidlng that he la witnessing his Is-st Impersonation. One who see* him In WaterliHi. In which he opened bis last wt*ek In the Illinois Monday night. Is very likely to be Impressed with the feellngg that It la one of the linest character studies to be seen oii the stage. Next: Maxine Elliott.

Garrick—Miss Paula Edwardes and her large and sightly company opened the seisuid wiH'k of Winsome Winnie, and the clientele of tin- house was out In force and obviously enjoyed the merry, tuneful and showy performance in every jiartlcular.

McVlcker’s—Miss Blanche Walsh began her -a-iauid and last week of Resurrection Sunday night and again tilled the house to permissible limit. .\s liefnre remarked, the nnwt note¬ worthy imiiit In her lniiH“rsonatlon of Maslova is the extent to which she has given It touches of rcflneiiieiit. and thereby made It less rep'd- l.ant without having sacriticed any of Its real strength. Next: t'harh-s Warner In Drink.

Grand—The Hurling of the Goils was made known to (Tilcago theatre-goers Tuesday night. Tlie cast is very large, and the fine, intelligent training given' It is conspicuous. Its team work Is admirable. Miss Batia* plays with a •incerlty and a certitude of touch that Is an -igrceahlc surprise. The audience was a lltt'c alow to take hold, but grew enthusiastic lone before the close.

Studebaker—With a steel curtain and all els- required by the new city ordliiaiice. the Stiide- haker rta)|a-ncd Monday evening with The Prince of Pllsen. Notwithstanding that the present engagement la the third in Chicago, it was evident fn>m the size of the audience that th-- Plxley and I.udcrs' conii>osltlon was still cher¬ ished' In the hearts of lovers of lighter musical entertainment. Jess Handy now plays the role of the (Inclnnatl brewer and manage* to get a gnat deal of amnsi-ment out of the part.

Columbus—I/en Grover's Tlie Minister's Itaugh- ter risqieiicd the Columbus Sunday and drew a crowd that w.vuld have gone to the old S. R. O. dimensions, but the manageraeiit was reluctant ly forced to refuse to sell any more tickets long iM'fore the demand was over. Matlnei-g will Im- given dally. Next: I'nder Two Flags.

Agni** Nells<»n. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hum. I'at Toiihey. Flehls and Whallen, Signora KI Salto, and Camdl and Clark.

Trocadetxi—The attraction for the week In the Troi-adero Is the well-known Ctoplans. This conipan.v Intixaliices genuine conied.v to take the place of horse-play. The opening Cabaret du Mon Is full of fun. mush-al nuinbera and gooil comedians, .\mong the specialties are Joe Mad¬ den and John W. Hess, .Mexander and Kerr Emmons Emerson and Emmons. McRae and Wyatt. Rice and Coy. Gisirge H. Diamond, and Belle Harvey. The closing of the show. Hotel t'[i«-and-D<>wns. a satire on the modem hotel, calls for the strength of the entire company.

PHILADELPHIA.

Business last week was falrl.v good. All ef our theatres gave extra performance* on Lln- lailn's Birthday. Imt bnslnes* was not very large at any of the hoiisi-*. Business fell off in the early part of this week on account of the Intensely c<dd weather. Election day <-n Ttn-sday. Feb.

The commlssloncra apisilnted hy the ma.vor have handed In a voluminous reiiort’ with suggestions as to the proper method of conducting all tlieatr*“s. If all the suggt**tloiia tlie.v make arc adopted It will reipilre a millionaire to build and run a theatre. One of their strongest ple.is was that all finqinsif scenery should Ik* used. This Is to apply to all house scenery and to the scenery carrleil hy traveling companies. The ma.vor has mit as yet stated whether he will put Into effect any or all of these suggestions. Fire scene* are to lie eliiiiinatiKl from all future productions and the standing room order Ig to Is* ki-pt In existence.

WILL J. FARLEY.

BALTIMORE.

The great excitement attending the irreat conflagration haa subsided. The sltuatliui Is very culm and quiet. TTie (s-ople tre now more dn-erful. Many of the homeless mer¬ chant*. financier*, businees ainl pnifes*lonaI men have found temisirary quarter*, where they f.re all prepared for renewed tuislnes* aetivi- tie*. Hundreds of contract* were made dur¬ ing the past week for the const ruction of new bullillngs. which will be ereeteil as sism as It la possible. Tbe ma.vor baa aiqMilnted an ad¬ visory committee. comp»s«*d of prominent citi¬ zen*. who will assist the city oillclais In mak¬ ing plans for many mnch neiibsi publb* Im¬ provement* In the burned dL'trb-t. When It was announced that the fire was under con¬ trol and while tbe ruins wife still liot. Iiiin- -Ired* of men began to pull down dangensis walls and clear the debris from the principal street*. The city was crowded all week bv thousands of sightseers and the remaining hotels are taxed to their utmost. The raP roads made no preparations for the crowd sf visitors; In fact, they were anxbms to dl** •■onrage the possible visitor* to the elty. How- ever, the Incoming trains are bringing tlioii- ■iand' of people. The national guardsmen are tiusy keeping the pisiple ont of the fire lines. No one can enter the line* without a iiags from the police eonimisalois-ra. Many parti*'* of distinguished person* from YY'asblngton vis¬ ited the min* Siitnrilay and Sunday. A re¬ markable feature of the gmat I'onflagnitlon waa that no live* were lost, although maii.v firemen were badly wounded. Some isKipIe have been able to open their vaults and sufe*. In many instaneoa Hie contacts were found Inta't and In good condition, and In others they were completely ruined and destroyed. In the latter eaae a few of the largest firms have suffered and have decided to discontinne their business Rffalr*. The hank vaults were found intact and the contents were removed to tei*- iiorary ipiarlera. The legal holiday period ha* iKK-n extended to I>b. 23 hy reqnest of hank¬ er* and financial men. Oiitsble of the hank* and merchant* there were very few resident* In the devastated diBtrIct. Tho*e few »re now tielng eared for by charitable societies. A committee ha* been organized to look after (he ne-da of the vxat armv of emploves wbo were deprived of their (sisitpins b.v the fire. Tlie printing business snfferesl considerably. There are now only three large cylinder presses In operation In the city. The plants of all the dally newspapers were completely destroyed.

The thestrlcsl bnalness suffered greatly In the early part of the wo<*k. hut toward* the latter part the size of the audiences wa* quite encouraging. A* soon aa the situation becomes more settled, the theatre* will sssnms thslr activity a* under normal conditions. Tbe amusement* will aerve to divert the public mind from the calamity. The Odeon Theatre wa* the only one dentroved. The Holliday street and Monumental Theatre* barely es¬ caped destruction.

WORLD'S FAIR VS. STREET FAIRS.

TtixTe are other Influences that militate more pAteutly against the snexa-ss of atrxvt fairs than will tne x-xuiiiiig WxM-ld'a Pair at Ml. lauiis. If. therefore, stxqis arc to be taken to elimin¬ ate thx‘se deletcrlxiua influx-iicxw, in as far us |m>shIIi|i>, there la no logical rcasxin why tiie x-ximlng atn-x-t fair ax-asxui should nut be t>ettxr than tlix* last.

Notes from the Jabour Caruiyal aud Amnse- ment Compauy, with headquarters lu New Y'ork City. Tills company has taken a puce that will surprise the knowing ones when they open May 2 uu the Eastern circuit. The fronts for the many shows are well under way aud will be an innovation in the midway front line for carnival cunipaulx‘s.

'The eighteen cars that comiKwe our special train will have tbe most elaborate dex-x>- rutions, both outside of the living roaches and inside of the same. When tbe baking In the Eastern country that baa bx-en secured by Steve \. Wuoxls Is made public the wise ones can lux-ditate aud figure out the outcome of this grand and colossal aggregation.

ID last we have gone steadily on through New .Mexico, 'Texas auxl In¬ to Louisiana without a Ixising wx-ek, which U saying a great deil, lu view of the fact that other carnival and theatrical cxjmiiaules of all kinds went to the wall all around us, but It has hx-eu the simple merit of the shows offered which has done It. All cximmittei s where we have pTiyed are loud in tin ir praise nf tbe shxiws aud the ladix-s and gentleiueu with them. The (lersuuuel of tbe company has changed hut little sliice our opening, as the (vexiplx- have only words of commenxlation fur the managi-nii-iit. .Mx-ssrs. 'Tallsitt aud Whitney.

There are now nine fronts in varkius stages of completion, Mr. Kennett remarked, and when completed they will lie second to none In the United States, If I do say It mysx-lf, and aside from their Individual beanty, the electrical work that has been de¬ signed for them la entirely new, and when lit up. these fronts will present a mxMt dazzling ap()earauce.

The deceased died at Oake's Home. In Denver. Col.. Sunday night, Feb. 11, In which place he had been eompsdled to remain for some time past. As an actor he established himself highly among the prof(>aslon; ag an Instructor he led others to follow In the Shakes|>earean way to uplift his fellow men, and as the originator of the Idea to found a sanitorlum for those of the profession suffering from tnherenlosl.s, he nn- donbtedly laid the foundation for one of the greatest Institutions for those who have spi-nt their lives through their devotion to art. Mr. Bell wag born In Rochelle. Ill., on July 4. ISfiti. He began his career at the early age of 13, end though meeting with hardships and mis¬ fortune that would have tumeil many from the evwer he had chosen, he endured th.» humllli- tlon attending big early appiamtlceshlp, and by constant study be was enabled to establish himself as an actor. Time went on, and he advanced himself by degrees. He played In many traveling companh“s and became known aa an actor of mncli versatility. He played with Frink Daniels for a time, hut broke down In ISD.Y, exhausted by overwork. He went to Denver, C<il., with the hojie ef regaining his lost health.

A WORD ABOUT NUISANCES.

Tlie bilHioardH have beeu the targets lor Uie uews|(aiH-r» for mauy years. They have' been eryiiig out “The Itlllboard Nuisance,** ainl they bave succeeded to the e.\tent In many places of really creating such a public dislike for bllllK)ard8 that laws are enacted restrain¬ ing their universal erection, and to that I>e<)- ple v\here the laws have Usm passed the blll- tsiards have reallv be<smie a nuisance. It can Im- imagined tliat' If the same direction weie given the good sides and [saints of billlsaard.- by the ne\vspu[>ers for an espial number of years that their hp|>earance on tlie clndct-st bit of gns-n hillside would offend no oue*8 aes¬ thetic nature, but rather would lae the recipient of marked apiiroval as an ex|iression of the typical enteriirlse and energy of the American lHs,|(le. Every one knows the [leoide do not tlilnk. A few <lircct their thoughts ba< kwards and forwards, upwards and downwards. Thej make a nttisaitce not a nuisance^ and not _ a nuisance tliey make a nuisance. The petite messenger the newapaia-rs soiuetlines send fortli lit tiie dead of file nlglit may l>e small and hard to see. but he Is surely mighty bard not to hear. However, the newslK>y*8 cries Jar all day. Is this a nuisance? .No; there Is not sutliclent |M»|Uilar dlsllkt* for tlie noise to find laws on the statute liooks against it, aid lienee witli us the sight of tlie bllltioard Is sometimes a nuisance, yet the Hiiiiids that penetrate the chambers of the nervous, tlie sick and the dj liig and bring actual hurt and pain are not nuisances. Why la this? It is because the [a'oplc’a attentiun has not been dlre<-ted that way. It Ig evident a crusade against such sounds would not be the work of years to create a poiiular dislike against them and to tin-1 eventually laws enacted In restraint of them. In l*arls, for one man to [lalnt his house yellow, and his nelgliNir bis black, and another nelghtair hla house red. and so on, with all the garish colors. Is a nuisance. It hU'ts their aesthetic sense, and a [aipular dislike has la-en created, so as to make It now a nuisance. Hence In Paris all buildings are [tainted gray. In .\nierlc.a It is not a nuisance. It will not be II nuisance until we dwell on It and turn It over and over, and sometiody kee|is shouting (tlie news[paperst; “lt*s a nuisance! It*s a nuisance!** and some day the [io[iular dislike will lind expression In restraining laws. tk). too. In Paris no buildings are allowed to be erected over six stories in height. A twenty- two storv sky scraper is not allowed to have a two-story iielghlair. There must be uniform¬ ity. Tile sky scra[iera hence are a nuisance. A change can be Imagined where a [M)|iular dis¬ like wouM make the uniformity a nuisance, and no two buildings would l>e allowiHl to be mil form In height. The conclusion then Is th.it there Is ms-d for a class paper like “Tlie Bill laiard" to present continually the strong argu luents in favor of the bllllNiards and to direct the attention of the “kiaa-kers** to actual mils ances, such as is nndoiibtcdl.v the noisy new*s- boy. and dissl[iate concetitkina which are re a[K)nslble for artlUclal nuisances, such as bill boards arc sometimes conceived to be.

CINCINNATI.

There never was a Sunday In the history i Cincinnati in which so many people were kept at home and Indoors as that of the 21. Tlie snow of a few days previous had been turned Into Ice, and all day a rain fell uiion It. The comblnaticn was the acme of slipperyness. Tlie temperature was about 30 degress, which pre¬ vented the lee from thawing. The weather was a hair line between a freezing and non-freezing condition. However, the evening booses were 6Iled to the present limp of the law.

John Drew, In The S*‘cond In (.'ommand, appeared at the Grand for the first time In sev¬ eral years, and In this four-act comedy he has not been seen here. Mr. John Drew Is a fin- Isbed actor of the old Daly scbriol, and he main¬ tains bis old reputation. Next: Henry Irving, in repertoire.

Columbia Theatre (M. C. Anderson, Mgr.) Marcel's Tableanx, a series of artistic [sisings a ancceas last week, has be<-n retained. Tlie Niebols Sisters, In a black face act, held tlie tndlence In a spell during their striking Imper- •oiMtlon of the darkey character. The acro¬ batic port of the program Is of the beat, and Iti^IndM old favorites, the Four Nelsons, tu;n- blera and comedians, and the well-known RIn Bros. The rest of the Mil Inclndes Newell & Nlblo. In a musical turn; a sketch hv J,
