Ik Arrnnceil s nn lo Iniure Safely nml Comforl lo I'ntrnnn nml to Allow I'lnjK lo lie Produced In the llest Possible Mnnner. ue enjoyment of the beauties of 'the New Auditorium lost evening was added tp by the feeling of wonder that such a complete, convenient and elegant play- house could have been erected In so short a time. When the doors were thrown open and the people filled the house there was not a feature which caught the eye to In- dicate that but a few hours previously a .busy throng of workmen had been flnish-'in- g their work in that handsome Interior. "MEN AND WOMEN" AT THE Everything was In place, everything com- plete, I ' rich and tasteful, and the people were enthusiastic In praise of all they saw. It was a great house, too. With much the largest seating capacity of any .Kan- sas City theater, every seat was taken and standing, room was sought for. The audience was made up from all classes. Society wag there In force, in the spacious boxes and scattered through the audience, while family parties, young people's parties, people attended and people unat- tended, served to fill every available space in the great interior. The entrance to the New Auditorium is much the same In general arrangement as before, the tile floor, the iron stairways, the general ornamental work being prac- tically unchanged. The entrance Is fin- ished In a cream lint and under the bril- liant lighting gives forth a soft and pleas- ing radiance. ! Pojfru Arc Spnclon. The foyer walls nre of a rich, dark red with celling of dark green. Dark red vel- vet carpets cover the floors, the whole ef- fect being one of bright and cozy comfort. The foyers are spacious upon the orches- tra floor, balcony and gallery. Eachjha's a special room for women with an at- tendant, and all conveniences for tho don- ning and. doffing of wraps, and. attention to those little details of the dress which the gentler sex so much desire In a place of amusement. The interior of the Auditorium proper is done In light shades and Is very handsome. The proscenium arch, the boxes and en- tire front of the theater are of ornamental stamped metal in beau'tiful ,ueslgn?. The 'ceilings arc also of stamped steel in pearl white with some ornamentation of two shades of green. The side walls are of Rrct'h. w hlle the proscenium' and boxes art of white and sold, ochre and bronze. Panels of a delicate lilac and bronze on either side of the boxes add to the general effect. Tho drop curtain represents a pastoral scene of quiet tone, but good design. The opera chairs are roomy and comfortable. Thev are upholstered in green, contrast- ing nicely tilth the dark red of the velvet carpets. The Great Stage. But beautiful and well arranged as are lobby, foyer and auditorium, it is the great stage, than which there is none larger In the country, which forms one of the best features of the palyhouse. It is ST feet in width and 41 feet deep, while the height to the gridiron is 67 feet. Room there is and to snare for any sort of entertainment which could be cared lor. With the spacious stage setting of last evening there seemed acres of room back of it all. Tho entire stage is brilliantly lighted, so that all the working force of the stage, actors waiting for their cues and anyone with business upon the stage had clear room to go where they pleased without being In the way of anybody or getting into cramped quarters anywhere. All tho Mtage furniture, not In use. had room upon the stage to be in read- iness when needed in making up a scene. The border lights are In three colors-wh- ite, red and blue so that any of these, or all of them, can be used at nny time de- sired. I Ample Fire Protect Ion. .All of the dressing rooms, property room, scene room," carpenter shop, ctp., are at the wel of the stage .and shut off from It by a fireproof wall with lire doors to be closed in case of Pre. Every piece of tlm-- i ber in the parapKernnliu of the stage is covered with asbestos and the stage has an asbestos curtain, so that u lire there would seem almost impossible and should One start, the entire stage could be Imme- diately isolated from the rest of the hotter. Indeed, the entire house is built with a view to the best protection against lire. The -- tumped stcl of the auditorium is all put on over asbestos and the audi- torium itself is separated from the fovr stones, wine ait tnc openings have lite by a tire wall extending up the full three doors attached which can be closed In case ot emergency. Then the foyer is cut off from the lints .and rooms in the front or the building by another fire wall, absolutely' solid. Broad and spacioiw exits in case of tire come from every floor on the west side, so tluit the audience could quickly leave the building even with a Are in the main entrance. ' Cniunioilionn DrcNxtnc 11 on ion. , There are thirteen individual dressing inouiH Tor the principal actors. These, too. etc with marble, floors ;'lld much asbestos covering, so that they are practically. lireproof. The. floors uro, finely carpeted, the furniture all that Is needed, while hot and cold water add to the con- venience of those uing them. In addition to these thirteen rooms, any one of wliicl) Is finer than those reserved for the Mar in mort theaters, there are two large bal- let dressing rooms, one for men and one for women. "Writ Karnlnlieil Hole. There are sixteen boxes In the theater. Two are toward the rear at the sides. Five are on each ride on the orchestra floor and two on each side on the balcony floor. Back of the boxes Is :i large space for the accommodation of the occupants, equipped with mirrors and seals and fur- nishing plenty of room for :i little restful promenade between acts. In fact, one feature of the New - Auditorium is the spaciousness of everything. .Everywhere is plenty of room for the purocs intended without anybody being crowded or dlscom--mode- In the least. The l)oxes seat 320 people, the orchestra floor S03. balcony floor fill and gallery 503, a total of 2,040. Itox; Office I a Model. Not only have Messrs. Woodward and Burgess looked after the comfort of their patrons In every way, but have also re- served some comforts for themselves. The box office Is a model in its way. and back of It. en suite, are offices for each manager and the assistant manager, airy, light and comfortable. r Ilcutlug nml Ventilation. Tho heating and ventilation of the build- ing is also perfect In Its way. Under the auditorium is a hot air chamber, from which registers lead up to the floor above. The heat can be forced through the build- ing by the fan system, or by reversing the mnchlnery. should the place become too warm, cold air In any quantity desired or tempered as desired can be forced Into tho NEW AUDITORIUM OPENING. auditorium. The entire air in the place can be chunged In a very few minutes and the foul air is ail carried on iy oetng forced by fans Into conductors, which pass It olt at the roof. A Credit lo Kuimnn City. iin In a word, tho owners and managers of the New Auditorium have reason to con- - gratulate themselves upon tho perfect the-- l ater building they have furnished to the iiieonle of Kansas Citv. It is a. model and will certainly be very popular with the people. THE PERFORMANCE. 'a The Xew Company Mnken a Favora- ble IinprcKKlou In Belnseo's "Men anil "Women." The play of "Men and Women" may not bring out the best that Is In a company. but it is a good test bill! and it must be said that the woodward company, as or ganized for the Kansas City season, stood the test well. The playis a society drama, with a great deal of sentiment, a good deal of comedy and scverafvery strong situa- tions. It Is exceedingly well constructed. It will endure for a considerable time on account of the ban!;, directory scene. If not for Its general merits. There are few episodes In this class of drama more ef- fective than this midnight scene. The company undoubtedly made a favor- able Impression on last night's audience. Tho organization of" last made it- self very popular with the patrons of the Auditorium, but this company is so su- perior In quality and In taste that it should attract many who were Indifferent to last season's performances. At least one part was better played than it had ever been played before on the local stage, and scv. era! of the others .Were quite as well inter- preted as by members of standard com- panies. When U. Is remembered that the scale ot prices prevailing at this house Is a big cut 'even on those In eftccr at the regular popular price theaters, it Is evident that the Auditorium Is going to be some- thing of a bargain theater under tho re- gime that was entered upon last night. The best characterization In last night's performance was that of Governor Hod- man, as played by Mr. Wilson Enos. In makeup, repose, reading and feeling it was well nigh a perfect representation one that would be u credit to a star cast. Miss Bertha Crtighton. who comes back to the sreenp, of her earliest dramatic ex- perience, essayed tho character of Agnes Hodman, which had hitherto been played in this city only by the. lamented Berenice Wheeler, who was also a Kansas Cityan. It Is a part. that affords a fine opportunity for nn cirAtlonal actress. Miss Creighton was pleasing In the lighter scenes, but did not rise to the heavier ones. She lacked feeling, and, hence lost a good deal of the facial and Other byplay of the second and third acts, where Agnes Hodman is in the secret of. the defalcation. Agnes is a part mat requires mucn concentration ana un- broken sympathy. It may readily bo guessed.. that the detractions Incident to the opening of the 'thentcr have had their effect upon Miss Creighton, and that she will' Improve as the week progresses. Mr. Carl Smith Seerle, another Kansas Cityan. gave a very dignified Impersonation of Israel Cohen, and was quite effective in spite of the slight tendency to stiffness of manner and staginess of reading. A very excellent performance of Steadman, the counselor of the bank, was given by Mr. Walter II. Greene, and Mr. Frederick Montague played the cashier with Intelli- gence and feeling. A very artistic imper- sonation was that of Mrs. Delulleld. by Mis?. Clertrude .Berkley. Two very charm- ing' young women are Miss Inez Macauley and." Miss Emma Dunn, whn played their rtspectlvo roles well. Mr. Hal Davis, tho light comedian, is sure to become popular, for, he has a breezy and confident stvle. al.lenst in the role or Snm Dehuield. Mr. Harry Hereford, who plajed Colonel Kipp. made the eccentric old lover unnecessarily lidgety and farcical. Mr. DeWltte Clinton was manifestly miscast as Edward Sea-bur- y. Miss l.JWrette Allen made consid- erable of the limited role of Mrs. Prescott. The personnel of the new companv Is cer- tainly attractive. The people are good loo- king, they drrss well and they are under very Intelligent stage direction. In the mm-- r metits here made upon the first perform- - nnce. the aim of the organization and the management rather than the low prices have been primarily considered. It was an extraordinary entertainment for the money; yet it was capable of improvement li the same people, and It Is the purpose of the management lo ijive performances that' will please even the exacting. Thrc wi re some long waits last nlcht. but these were explained by Majager Woodward and wore readily xciii by .the audience. They were due to the. fact THE KANSA8 CITY JOURNAL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 22. 1899. that there had not been sufficient Uaie for or .opportunity for adequate. sc:eneTehear-sal- s, and as 'all the scenery and nppllinces were new, they were not In perfect work- ing order, as they will be After several per- formances have been given. The settings, by the way. are exceedingly handsome, equal, in fact, to most of those cTrried for special productions of modern 'play-;- . The management has secured a." good or- chestra of ten men. under the direction of Mr. John Behr, conductor of the Symphony orchestra. The accoustlcs of the theater seem to be perfect. The opening, generally considered, was a decided success. LEAVING OF THE TWENTIETH. Fort Lravciinortli llegiuient Stnrtcd oil It Trli to Manila Yesterday. LEAVEN WOHTII. KAS.. Jan. The Twentieth United States infan- try left Fort Leavenworth to-d- for Man- ila. The three battalions went on five trains. Tho first battalion left over the Burlington at 10 a. m olio hour later than the scheduled time. Tho second battalion left In two sections over the Hock Island at 12:01. The third battalion, with head- quarters, left In two sections over the Mis- souri Pacific, but did not get away until 2 o clock. , The band did not il the last train, hut escorted each battalion out of the gar- rison to the brow of the hill leading down to the station. Three times to-d- tho band nlaved the tlmc-honor- "The rtlrl r Left Behind Me." from each or tho four troops of the Sixth cavalry was at the station when the first section left, being drawn up with drawn sabers on each sido of the road. As the train left they cheered their departing comrades. Emigrant sleepers were provided for the men and Pullman or Wagner cars for the officers and their' families. When the last section pulled into the de- pot yards of the city, every factory whistle and bell in town set up a din of shrieks and booms. On the platform at. the sta- tion half the city was gathered. Surgeon Van Tuyl stood on the steps of the Pull- man, and was vociferously cheered by his fellow cltizens,-wh- o will not see him again for at least three years. Brigadier General AVheaton stood on the rear platform and as tho train passed, raised his cap and waived it to Ms many friends whom he has known during the past four years. ,At Denver the Second and Third bat- talions will, be united, and at Odgen they will meet the FIrht, from where the three battalions will travel as one train over the Union PacJRc. . At San "Francisco 'the men will receive their summer uniforms and two months' pay and will Immediately board the trans- ports Scandla and Morgan City. The departure will be made January 23. The regiment will be given one day's stop- over in .Honolulu. STRIPED COLLARS MUST GO. Manufacturer of Linen Collars Have 1 Ileclureil "War Upon the Zebru Fad. The striped collars that have come Into prominence since J. Elslnore Jones, of Bos- ton, revealed hlmpelf In Kansas City a few weeks ago, will have to go. The national association of manufacturers of men's linen collars has declared war on the striped brand, and will wage the war in a way that will force all good dressers to abandon the stripes and cling to the plain white article. The war was opened last .week In St. Louis, according to the stories ttold by traveling men now in the city, and 'tne wtiite collar is again restored to its old time prominence there. It is expected the same sort of warfare will open (shortly in .Kansas City and drive the striped alwminatlon back to Its proper field. The means adopted to popularize the white collar in St. Louis were simple and effective. The men who conducted the tight had made a large supply of the most impossible combinations of plaids, stripes' nnd varicolored shirts and collars, and then proceeded to give them away to all the negroes who run bootblack stands, all the negro touts, tin-ho- gamblers, bums and others who strut about and love loud 'col- ors, and In that way made the exaggera- tion of the fad so abhorrent that1 all those who claim to know how to dress fled In horror, and encircled their necks with the plain white linen. Then, in order that the loud color brigade might have plenty, these men supplied every second-han- d ,store and place on cheap-sid- e In the citv with bushels of .the collars that are lielng re- tailed at 2 cents each. This enables the sports to have almost unlimited quantities and all sorts of colors, so that the loud collar Is much In evidence among those whose tastes are hardly correct In neck-- " wear. The result has been to shut the stripes off the counters of all the places that cater to good buslness'and the day of the stripe has closed there among good dressers. Kansas City has as .many loud and unholy stripes showing as are necessary to show the possibilities of the fud:- - OKLAHOMA PROSPEROUS. II. H. Hagiui Tells Wlin t Enterprise, Hacked With Money.

JLMEETING. Saloon In tbe Auditorium and at Eighth nnd Holme Street Are Opposed. At the last meeting of the W. C. T. U. a number of resolutions were pnssc'd'by tho members. One of these was addressed to the police commissioners of this city, and Is a protest against the introduction of a saloon in tho new Auditorium theater. Tho resolution Is also opposed to the presence of a saloon nt Eighth and Holmes street. Members of tho W. C. T. U. will begin n series of letters to members of the legisla- ture, urging the passage of Representatlve-Georg- H. Curry's bill, which provides for compulsory education. They believe firmly in the good of such a law. and hope the people, over the state will use their influ- ence towards Its passage. Members of the union also expressed themselves as supporting the bill of Sena- tor S. P. Davisson for the abolishing of wlhcroom attachments to saloons. A committee, conslstlng'of Mrs. Anna M.

"To live In a growing nation has a good effect on the people. We grow and broad- en. These shrink and shrivel, pucker and get frightened," said Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll yesterday aft- ernoon in his room at the Coates House. Colonel Ingersoll. who is to lecture this evening at the Coates opera lioufce on "Superstition." renched the city yesterday morning and spent the day with his friends at the Coates House. Mrs. Ingersoll Is with him, as usual. For many years she has accompanied him on all his tours, and is still "taking care of him," as she says. Colonel Ingersoll appears to be in very much better health than when he visited the city the last time. At that time he had the appearance of breaking down. While he has been out of polities' for several years he still retains much inter- est in governmental matters and talked readily about the questions' of the day. Like It has always been, his style of ex- pression is. clear and strong, and his 'Opinions robust and 'bold. "I am for expansion," he said. "I want- ed the Sandwich Islands and was glad when we got them. We already had a great cataract and I wanted a volcano, and a good one, too. I wanted a position In the Pacific ocean and a good harbor, and so I was for annexation. When you stop to think about It, we were not such a great big country when we began bus- iness here on this continent, in 1S03 we got the Louisiana territory. Now, if Sen- ator Hoar had been in the senate ot the lime that purchase was under considera- tion he would have been opposed to It, and so would Bryun and Cleveland have been, but do you think a"ny American cit- izen wants to give it up or sell it back at cost? "In ISIS we got 1,000,000 square miles from Mexico, and I guess nobody wants to give that back at present, in 1S63 we bought Alaska for a refrigerator and we are all agreed that we ought to keep even that. "Now, I want to go right on growl.ig, getting taller and broader ana stronger. It Is a source of delight to me to think that our country is In good health, with a line circulation, full to the linger tins. I want Cuba if Cuba wants us. nnd" the same about the Philippines, but 1 do not want to tyrannize anybody. "I would like to see a big navv and a. good well drilled, well equipped army, but nothing excerslve. We are in no danger, for tile whole world could not conquer us.' I would have the good navy and the competent army rather for the prevention ot war. and 1 am not in the least fright- ened or afraid that our liberties will be destroyed by an army. We, the people, have always been able to take care of ourselves and the time has not yet come when we need fear harm.- Our country Is not filled with the Deosants like the coun. tries of Europe, but with free and intel- ligent American citizens, men and women. "I read that the ministers hero want the Suhday theaters closed and that tho subject is being agitated," he said, with a sly smile and a merry twinkle in his eye. That was getting around ticar the one topic on which he has- - stood and expound- ed his unbelief for so many years, and lie was glad to have.some,,local action, as a text. "Now. I do not blame'Mhe ministers," ho said. "is quite natural. They are afraid the people will not come to hear them If any other. place is open. I have no more regard for one dav than another, and if the people want Sunday plays, then I want them to have and enjoy their Sunday theaters. For myselr. I would rather see a good play than hear u poor sermon, and I believe there are others who would have the same preference. I think more of Shakespeare than of all the1 the- ologians of the world, and I would rather see one good play than hear a huuJ.-e- d sermons. There is something cheerful about a theater, the church Is melancholy. In the theater the people are trying to be natural, but not so In the pulpit.

Through the aid of friends she secured the position of janltress of the high school, then a three room building on the site of. the present structure. By her kindly ways' she soon won the hearts of both children and teachers, and during fourteen years of continuous service she was regarded na nil but indispensable to the school. Teach- ers and pupils deferred to her judgment and advice at trying times. She deserved tho title which was given her as the "Mother of the Hisli School." Hundreds of men and women who have become prominent In business and social circles and tilled it large place In the city's history ,new her during their years at the high school and remembered her well through the years that followed their de- parture. Few ever failed to greet her with u nod of recognition or a word when thev rnet her on the street. The memory of early school days was recalled pleasantly by her face. The teachers, too. remember her for the many little services which she performed for them. When she took up her duties Professor John R. Phillips was principal. Her term of employment Included many years during'thc- - principalshlp of Superin- tendent Greenwood. The friendship and es- teem of both continued through the four- teen years sir.co she took uu her position. She was born In Chester," England, and Came tO America.

The report of the treasurer. Hon. George V.

Goldsby, for the legal depart- ment of the society, briefly reviewed th society's work in hUt department, and among other things said that this work had never been more satisfactorily carried on, or with so little friction and expense as ilnce the last annual .meeting. He ad- verted to the fact that the list of officers of the society contains the names of citi- zens of both faiths, Jewish and Gentile, and Catholic and Protestant, and yet that sectarian Interests were all forgotten In tho divinely human spirit purposes and work of the Humane Society. Speaking of the economic value to tha community of the work of the'society. Mr. Goldsby said the money actually saved the city and county by this society as shown by Its report of the last year Is approxi- mately J20.0CO. while the entire disburse- ments, as shown by the treasurer's report, were Jl.031.43. This saving Is accomplished chlellv by the finding of homes for young children who would otherwise be a public charge and by the procuring of transporta- tion for hundreds ot unfortunate sick, ele- mented, and destitute people who have drifted into our city, .which enables them to reach their friends and relatives, in- stead of allowing them to rest as an unjust burden upon this community. He briefly referred to the many cases arising In the work of the society involving-lega- l questions, as to the custody ot minors and the authority of the society to protect the oppressed both of the human family and the lower animals, and stated that thesn matters have become so well understood that the work of the legal department has of late years been much lightened. DEATH RATE number was but a drop iu the bucket when compared with the vast army ot peoplo who are suffering from these diseases. You must remember, said one. that there has never been a euro for these scourges be- fore, and the use of dangerous sprays, douches and atomizers has only augmented tlfc number of sufferers, until to-d- over two hundred thousand men and women dls annually from these diseases In this coun- try alone. Something out ot the ordinary must be done to reach the people. They have lost courage through their bitter ex- perience with advertising specialists.
