The Giffen-Neill Stock company be-pins its faivuvll week of the summerragagment In St. Paul at the Metropoli-

tan tonight. From all sources therewill be nothing but regret at the de-

parture of the most popular dramaticcompany that has ever played a stock

gement in St. Paul. Since the 17thof May last, with tin- exception of four

or five weeks In Minneapolis, then-Neill players have appeared

every night on the Metropolitan stage.Very few people outside of the profes-sion know what a vast amount of labor

and detail is required In the rehearsalP.nd production of a different play, andfrequently two plays every week. Inall this time the company has nevercatered to anything else but the besttaste of the amusement-loving public,

and has given only the highest class ofdramas and comedies.

Great credit belongs to James Neill,who has been, and is, the head andfi"iv of the organization. His intelli-gent stapre direction has made the per-formances of his company what they

have been —thorough and careful in

detail. His own magnetic personality

and ability as an actor have always

been hailed with pleasure wheneverhe has appeared himself. He possessesthat rare faculty of getting the bestresults from stock actors and actresses.

readily be imagined. The cast for"Confusion" willbe as follows:Christopher Blizzard J. B. EverhamMortimore Mumpleford James NeillRupert Sunberg Herschel MuyallJames Emmett ShaekelfordDr. Bartholomew Jones E. D. TittmannMichael Muzzle Oliver BaileyLueretia Trickleby Agnes MaynarilHose Mumpleford tidythe ChapmanViolet Kate BlanckeMaria Annie Blancke

For the latter half of the week "Se!-wyn's Xight Out," taken from theFrench of Hennequin's "The Three.Hats," will be the bill, closing Satur-day night. The farce is by the authorof "The Pink Dominoes" and is found-ed on the mistaken identity of threemen owing to a confusion of their hats.

A pleasant feature of the final Satur-day matinee willbe a reception by thecompany on the stage immediatelyafter the close of the performance forthe lady friends of the members of thecompany who may happen to be in theaudience. This means is taken to saygood-bye to many who could not other-wise be seen.

Henry E. Dixey has signed contractsby which,, on Sept. 6, he will beg-in atour of the Keith circuit of continuousperformance theaters, opening at thePiovldence house. He is to present anartistic monologue in evening dress.

Chicago is to have a permanent stocktheater. The. Schiller theater will bededicated to that purpose tomorrownight. Elita Proctor Otis is the leadingwoman. A new play, "Fort Frayne,"by Capt. Charles King, of army fictionfame, will be produced. ItIs the in-tention to present only new plays. Acompany has been formed to this end.No Sunday performances willbe given.

"Christopher Jr.," the first and stillthe most popular success written byMadeleine Lucette Ryley, will be senton tour the coming season. An excep-tionally strong company has been en-gaged, with George Backus in the titlercle. Itwill be remembered that Mr.Backus made a very pronounced suc-cess last season with Mr. Gillett's partin "Too Much Johnson." The play hashad a two years' run in the former

This is, in a great measure, because heallows them a latitude in their workWhich encourages individuality anddiscourages the mechanica.l.

Next week the company Avill play aweek in Minneapolis and then, afterseveral weeks on the road In the North-west, will begin a stock engagement inColumbus, 0., for the winter, underthe name of the Neill Stock company.The personnel of the present companywill be retained intact with the addi-tion of William J. Dean, a talentedJuvenile man, who will appear here in"Selwyn's Night Out," and an addi-tional actress, who has not as yet beenengaged.

The bill from tonight to Wednesdayr.lght Inclusive, with a Wednesdaymatinee, will be Ralph Lumby's three-act comedy "Confusion," which wasone of Nat Goodwin's first successesoutside of farce comedy skits. Thename "Confusion" is well-chosen, be-cause upon a very simple thread of plotis hung a number of excruciating mis-takes that arise through the confusionof the players. Christopher Blizzard,easy find good-natured, begins all thetrouble by getting a pug dog for hisniece, Rose Mumpleford, whose husbandis bo matter-of-fact, that he deprecatessentiment and frowns on his wife'sdesire to have pets. Blizzard gets apug from the city in a basket and se-crc-is it in a cabinet in the Mumple-fcrd household in the country, till Mr.Mumpleford can be appeased.

The servants in the family, Jamesond Maria, are married, unknown totheir mistress, and they surreptitiouslybring their baby from the city to theMumpleford house, with the intentionof finding it another home immediate-ly. Being surprised, James hides it hithe same cabinet with the dog. Lucre-tia Trickelby, an elder maiden of thefamily, whom Christopher is desirousof marrying, picks up a telegram be-longing to James, but which she sup-poses is Blizzard's, saying, "Come atonce. Your baby is sick." The baby isdiscovered by Lucretia, who suspectsBiizzard, and by Mumpleford, who su-B^ects his wife. The complications can

Joseph Buckley, manager and part-ner with Otis Skinner, left Boston yes-terday for Chicago, to take charge ofthe rehearsals of "Prince Rudolph," inwhich Mr. Skinner Is to star this sea-son, and which opens the regular dra-matic season at the Olympic theater,St. Louis, Sept. 14. Mr. Skinner willbeseen at the Metropolitan opera house inOctober.

The regular season at the Grand will opentonight with the first presentation in thiscity of that very amusing comedy-drama,"Chimmie Fadden." The Grand has beenin the hands of decorators, painters and housefurnishers for 6everal weeks and it will ap-pear tonight as fresh and cheery as a brandnew theater.

"Chimmie Fadden," as is well known, isa dramatic version of those exceedingly cleversketches of local character by Edward W.Townsend, known as "Chimmie Fadden." Toweld them into a consistent and logical four-act comedy was a task of no mean order. Theywove prepared for the stap;e by Mr. Townsend.although rumor has it that the experiencedhand of Augustus Thomas was called to hisaid.

The first two acts take place In the slums.The Bowery boy In his true environment isdepicted to the life, lie is tough and fly, buthis heart is enormous and his philosophy isdistinctly v/itty. His slang is terrific, but itis always picturesque, and in his chivalriesprotection of persecuted women and his de-:votion tc his friends, Chimmie Fadden is ahero. In the first act, a capital set of whatseems to be the Junction of Chatham squareand Division street, is shown. Chimmie inrescuing Fanny Van Ccurtland, a Universitysettlement worker, from the Insults of Moxie,an East side crook, is stabbed, and in thenext act she and her frtends come to Chim-mio's humble home in order to testify theirappreciation of his services in a substantialfashion. But Chimmie will not take themoney proffered him. Instead, he agrees tobecome a "buttons" at their country place.The action in these two acts is bustling andtrue to life. Chimmie Is always ready for afight, and in his endeavors to keep a youngfriend from going entirely to the bad is fre-quently accommodated. The types of East-sido character here introduced are photog-raphic in their accuracy, while the spirit ofslum life is sustained with a cleverness andtruth deserving of the highest praise.

The action next changes to the countryhouse of the V?.n Courtlands, on the sound.

\u25a0where Chlmmie retires somewhat to thebackground, and the aristocratic members ofthe cast take the lead in working out anumber of comedy scenes of refreshing or-iginality. The skill displayed at this pointis remarkably Ingenious. Chimmie's badfriends try to rob the house. In trying toprotect it he is almost clubbed to death, firstby the burglars and then by a policeman.To crown all, he is charged with the crime.The final act is devoted to establishing theidentity of the real criminal and straighten-ing out Miss Van Courtland's love affair withMr. Burton and Chimmio's with Miss VanCourtland's French maid, known to him as•The Duchess."

l>an Collyer will impersonate the irrepres-sible "Chimmie." • * •

"Tennessee's Pardner." the comedy-dramawhich scored such a big hit at the Grandlast season, is included among the attraction!there for this year and will be seen at anearly date. James Brophy is now play-ing the leading role.•

"In Old Kentucky" never seems to looseits popularity. In spite of the fact that itha-s been on the boards for several seasons,the demand for it on the part of the theatricalmanagers throughout the country is so greatthat Mr. Litt has decided to put out an-other company for this season. A new equip-ment of scenery has been prepared duringthe summer and a capable company engaged.This attraction willbe seen here at an earlydate. • * *

Among the attractions scheduled for earlyappearance at the Grand opera house isa "Hoy Wanted." It willbe given by a bigcompany. Including several vaudeville per-formers. •

Among the early bookings at the Grand isIncluded Augustus Thomas' new play, "TheHoosipr Daetor," introducing in the titlerole Mr. Digby Bell, who scored such a bighit in the "Midnight Bell." "The HooslerDoctor" is from the pen of Augustus Thomas,the author of "Alabama." and is said to bea play of great merit. Indicative of its suc-cess is the statement that the piece enjoyedat the Grand opera house. Chicago, a runof nearly three, months. . The play will begiven by an excellent cast and with superbscenic embellishments.• m •

The story of "My Friend From India,"which opens the regular season at the Metro-politan next Sunday, Sept. 5. and which willbe presented by the Smyth & Rice Comedycompany, is certainly interesting. It is basedon the attempts of Erastus Underholt, a re-tired millionaire pork packer from KansasCity, who takes up his residence in New York,to get his family into the exclusive societycircle of the metropolis. At the end of threeyears he appears to be no nearer the goalthan at the start, when the desired oppor-tunity is furnished, as he believes, by hisson Charles. The latter is a gay, convivialyouug man. One night, while out on a lark,he makes the acquaintance of a stranger, abarber named A. Keene Shaver. In the morn-ing he is unable to tell where he picked upthe stranger and what his name is. To ascer-tain the latter a search is made through theman's clothes, while he is still asleep.Nothing is found but a book on theosophy.

The barber, awakening and finding hisgarments missing, wraps himself in a yellowsilk spread and begins to search for them.He makes his appearance before the young

CHARLES A. DANA.

May 5, 1897.

and today his mind is as bright and hisstep is as quick as that of a boy. Hisfair complexion, is rosy; he has butfew wrinkles, and his only sign of oldage is in the silver strands of his beardand hair. More than this, his soul isas young as his body. He still likesa good joke and can tell a good story-He can feel the beauties of a lyricpoem as deeply as a young man in love,

and (ran at the same tjme appreciate

the sublimity of .the epics which hepublishes every Sunday in his columnof "Poems Worth Reading."

DANA'S HABITS AND HOME.

Mr. Dana dresses like a young man.He is, Ijudge, fond of good clothes.The creases in his"-pantaloons are wellmarked, and his silk hat is of the lateststyle. The necktie he wore when Imet him today was as red as the combof one of his Plymouth Rock roosters,

and the cane "which he picked up aswe left the office Icould see was car-ried rather as a habit than as a meansof support Mr. Dana has a youngappetite. He eats well and drinkswell. His chief meal is his dinner, andhis cook, Iam -told, is a famous Frenchchef. He enjoys his vacations like ayoung man. He works only while atthe office, spending his leisure at hiscountry home «h Long Island. He hasthere one of ,the finest collection oftrees and shrubs in the world. He hasgreen houses in which tropical plants

are seen at their best all the year

round and mushroom cellars in tunnelswhere mushrooms can be gathered

from October to May. It is on \u25a0 hisfarm that he spends his mornings andevenings, and here every Sunday hetakes a day off and amuses himselfwith his trees and his grandchildren.

He spends only about six hours of eachday at the office, coming there at 11a. m., and leaving at 4. His work onthe Sun is largely made up of editing

and suggesting. He keeps his eyes onevery department of the paper andreads most of 'the proof.

A CHAT? MR. DANA.It was at j^ie close of his work thatIcalled by appointment at the officeof the Sun, and a moment later Iwasin the sanctum of the editor-in-chief.This was a little room not bigger than

an ordinary hall bed room, with awindow looking out on City Hallsquare. Mr. Dana sat In front of the

window at a flat-topped walnut desk,

with a pile of proofs before him. Helaid down his blue pencil as Ienteredand gave me a seat. My first question

was as to the secret of his vitality. Iasked him how he managed to keep soyoung."Idon't manage it," was the reply.

"Ihave, you know, a good constitution,

and my ancestors have generally livedto a good old age. Isupose my youth

is somewhat due to inheritance, though

it may be that hard work has some-thing to do with it, for Iput in aboutsix hours every day. Isleep at leasteight hours every night, and Iam care-ful not to eat too much."

"But, Mr. Dana, looking young andfeeling young are different things. Iwonder ifyou enjoy life as much nowas when you were young?"

"Iknow Ido in some respects," re-plied Mr. Dana. "I can appreciate

some things more now than Iused to.But Ithought you wanted an inter-view. Are you interviewing me now?"

"Yes," said I."There are many ycungmen who would like to be able to do atseventy-six what you are doing now.They would like to know how to livelong and keep well. Iam forty-one,

and Ican tell you that Iwould give agood deal to learn how Icould livethirty-five years longer and feel aswell as you do when Igot to thatpoint."

"Well," replied Mr. Dana, "Ireallythink Iget as much fun out of life asIever did. Ihave more pleasure frombooks and more from the learning ofnew things. My enjoyment from chil-dren has stealdljp- increased. They arethe most gep.niri^ things of the world,

and the pleasure of association withthem is a real pleasure. Ihave nowthirteen grandchildren."

AMBITIONTO BE A PARSON."Supi>ose youihad to start over

again, Mr. Danav would you select thenewspaper tot your life work?""Idon't know,1

"was the reply. "My

first ambition was to be a parson or a

college professor. Ilooked forwardto the day when Iwould have a pulpitand could preach. Ithink Ishouldhave made a fairly good college pro-fessor for a good part of ray life."

"How is that, Mr. Dana?" Iasked,"I have had classes In my home.

We have had a number of social clubsthere for the study of languages andliterature and Ihave led them. For sev-eral years we devoted ourselves toDante, studying him in the originalItalian. Then a year or so ago Ihada class studying the Icelandic lan-guages, and we have also worked at.other tongues."

"How about the Russian? Mr. Dana?

Iunderstand that you liave taken upthat most diffiulct language."I am now able to read the Rus- ;

sian," was the reply. "Ivisited Russiaa year or so ago, and Ifind th^.t Ican |get along in speaking the language as jfar as ordinary matters are concerned, jIcan read anything in Russian with a jslight use of the dictionary. Ikeepsome Russian books by me, and whenIhave ten minutes to spare Iread alittle. Here is my Russian dictionary, i(Here Mr. Dana picked up a book out Ior a case at his side.) And there :

(pointing to another), are some Rus-''

sian fables which Iam now reading.""Where do you get your linguistic!

faculty, Mr. Dana?""Idon't know," replied the man oli

many languages, "unless Iwas bornwith it. When Iwas eleven yearsold Iwas working in a store in Buf-falo. We had among our customersmany Seneca Indians. Ipicked upmuch of their language from talkingwith them. We had also many Ger- \u25a0

mans at Buffalo. Ilearned somethingof the German language, and later ;on, when Iwent to Harvard college,

'

Ifound no trouble at all in acquiring jthe German pronounciation."

COLLEGE MEN AS JOURNALISTS."You are a college bred man," Mr.

Dana. Is a college education a neces-sity to the making of a good journal-

'1st?" \u25a0 I"Ithink it is a good thing for a man

'to have a college education," repliedMr. Dana. "But Idon't think it is anecessity. A college-bred man has a ibetter trained mind, and as a rule hecan use his faculties to better advan- jtage, still the boy who is self-educatedoften surpasses h-im who is college- jbred. It depends upon the person. Ifhe has it in him he will be successful;if not, he won't."

"Please give me a word of advice forthe young newspaper man of today.What should they do to succeed?"

"Tell the truth and shame the devil,"replied the editor of the Sun.

"How about wages in newspaperwork? Have not the hard times af-fected them?"

"I don't think they have in thisoffice, though Iam told they have inother places. The forces have beencut down as well as the wages. Herein the Sun our men stay with us foryears. We have the merit system,and some of our best men have gonein as office boys. The office boy of theSun has a chance to become managingeditor if he can show that he is thebest man for the place."

"But the pay of newspaper men of: today must be far better than it was

when you were young, Mr. Dana"

!said I."Yes," was the reply: "it Is. For

j some of my first newspaper work IIreceived $5 a week. This was whenjIwas twenty-five years old, and wasIone of the editors of the Chronotype

\u25a0< of Boston. A little later on Icame toNew York to be city editor of theTribune. My wages then were $10 aweek. After awhile Iwas raised to$20 a week, and at last, when Ibe-came managing editor of the Tribune,

IIwas given an equal salary with Mr.Greeley, receiving $50 a week.

REFUSED THE RUSSIAN MISSION.Ihere referred to Mr. Dana's connection

\u25a0with President Lincoln as assistant secretaryof war, and asked Mr. Dana whyhe had neveragain accepted cfflce. and whether he hadnot had ambition to be a high public official.He replied:

"No, Ido not care for such things. Ihave always thought It best to stick to the

1newspapers, though Isuppose Icould havehad official positions had Idesired them. I

| could have been minister to Russia underPresident Lincoln, but when Ilooked Into the

Imatter Ifound that it would cost me nearly-$40,000 a year to keep up the proper styleof St. Petersburg, and that my salary would:only be $15,000 a year. It did not take much• figuring to see that Icould not afford that."

"What has become of the weekly news-paper, Mr. Dana? Such papers have" not the;great circulaticn which they had in the past

""No, the great weekly is no more It

| has been killed by the low prices of paperiand the cheapening of newspaper making.!People willnot subscribe for a weekly when

they can get a daily from their own territory jat from 1 tc 3 cents a day. When Ileft the |New York Tribune its weekly had a circu'a-tion of 130,000. Idoubt if It has half thatnumber today."

THE ONE-CENT NEWSPAPER."Speaking of the prices of newspapers, Mr.

Dana can a really good newspaper be madeto sell for 1 cent?"

"A newspaper can be sold at a marginof profit at a cent, but a good newspapershould cost at least 2 cents, in order for itspublishers to do justice to their customersand themselves. The higher price enablesthe paper to be more independent and lesscareful about extra expenses."

dime museum show by the publication ofmonstrosities of al! kinds, with sensationalarticles and horrible pictures.""Idon't know whether such features will

continue or not," replied Mr. Dana. "Iknow one man who is very tired of them, andthat is myself. Ido not consider such pub-lications the result of good newspaper work.The fillingof the papers with pictures crowdsthe news into the corners. It makes thepaper not a newspaper, but a picture paper."

MORE INDIVIDUALITYWANTED."What, Mr. Dana, are some of the chief

faults of the newspapers of today?""One great fault is the lack of individual-

ity. Many of our papers are too much alikein their makeup,, and in their news. Theyare set up by typesetting machines, whichmake all look alike. The result is not artisticand there is too much sameness. IthinkIt is a bad thing for a paper to publish thesame news in the same words that its s.istercities publish it. Why, there are three greatnewspapers in New York using the samepress dispatches. Idon't like that. Ithinkevery newspaper should have its own individ-uality, and Ido all that Ican to give theSun a character of its own. We are nowgetting our own news from our Own corre-spondents, and we hope to do this more andmore. Alarge part of the Sun is set by hand.This is always so with the editorial page."

"You were, to a certain extent, tho origi-nator of the syndicate system. Will syndi-cate articles continue to be used?""Isuppose so, though Ido not think they

contribute to individuality in newspapers.As to my foundnig the syndicate system. Idid that merely to help some of my friend?.Bret Harte, Henry James and other writerswere selling their stories to magazines foran ordinary price. Iproposed that theyshould let me place them in a number ofnewspapers, and that Iwould give them whatIcould make out of them. Ipaid the regu-lar price for what the Sun used, and alsoturned in what Ireceived from other papers.The result was that Ipaid Henry James $4,000for one of his short stories, and other authorsgot almost as much. Ifound, however, thatthe work entai'.ed a great deal of correspond-ence. Iwas making nothing out of it andgave it up. After that the system of syndi-cating all kinds of articles sprang up.'

THE COUNTRY IS ALL RIGHT.At this point Mr. Dana began to put his

papers together. It was about time for himto take the train for hi6country home, andIgould see that my interview was at anend. As Irose to go Isaid: "Just oneword more. Mr. Dana. What about the stateof the country? Do you think we are go-ing

""Do Ithink we are going to the devil?"

replied Mr. Dana quickly, taking the wordsout of my mouth. "No: Ido not. The UnitedState?, will come out all right. Ihave beenon a number of battlefields and watched des-perate fighting, when Ithought that oursituation was far worse than it is today."
