Public interest has not lessened its interest Tae corrido of the Cor- anxious to obiain adm’ssion to the court- room, and all the available seats ‘tn ihe court were filled by 10 o'clock. For the first time since the inquiry opened there were several women among the spectators. As the line of inquiry ‘s pusned now the inquest is all converning Cornish. Every Witness ie examined about Cornish—Cor- nish’s enemies, Cornish’s friends, Cornish s habits,. Cornish’s accomplishments. ‘The most important evidence on Unis line is that given by Dr. Potter, who was called to iry to save Mrs. Adams’ life. His declarat.on is: “Cornish was not il. Cornish did not drink from the glass - which contained the dose of bromo-seitzer he had stirred for Mrs. Adams. Cornish’s condition was not such as to require medical attention.” Cornish has sworn that he was deathly sick from swallowing a dose of the poison that killed Mrs. Adams, Not since the inquest has pegun has there been a declaration under oath, which has given such a new turn to the line of in- guiry, as that made by Dr. Potter, when ‘he testfied that there were two glasses containing solutions, instead of one, in the Adams flat on the morning he was called to attend the dying woman; that these le page gy of them certainly the vessel nto which the poison was*‘poured—had dis- aS Boi id rm fFotter said mere than~.thie under oath. He satd that after he had exam ned the body of Mre. Adams, and -Mrs. Rogers had asked if it were not possible to avoid publicity and keep -the story out of the newspapers, a remark was made in an un- dertone, presumably not intended for the W.thess to hear. . “What was the remark?” asked Assist- ant District Attorney Osborne. “It Was after Mrs. Rogers made the re- quest that publicitv be ayo ded. The re- mark was, ‘You know the reason why.’ ”’ ‘And Who made that remark?” It Was made by Mrs. Rcegers to Cornish.” TANNERS ORGANIZE A TRUST.

Hatch and Richter, attorneys of Chicago, are organiz- ing an upper leather trust. A representa- tive of the firm is tn Boston to secure op- tions on tanneries hereabouts and says he has obtained enough to assure the organi- gation of the trust.

The promoters offer to pur- + desired tauneries in cool, half and half stock or all stock, at the option of the owner. It is proposed to pay for the merchandise, planis and good will according to expert apprais- al, tanners to guarantee their debts, but wei will be allowed to receive bills receiy. e.

About 1:30 Sunday morning Mrs. Costigan heard a noise in the room and the sound of some one stumbl ng against the bed, followed by a low exclamation of pain. The room was dark and ‘tthe intru- der had inadvertently run into the furni- ture. Mrs. Costigan called out, ‘“‘Who’s there?’’ There was no answer. She spoke again, but hearing mo reply aroused her husband, Costigan jumped out of bed and ran into the hail. towards the door. The old man hurled himself on the burglar and clasped his arms around him so that he could use no weapon. ’ ’ So energetic was the old man’s grip that the burglar dropped ‘his revolver on the floor. e clinched with Costigan and to- ether they wrestled in the dark hailway. Mrs. Costigan threw open the w._ndow and called loudly for help. A young man was passing by. He heard the cries and ran up the steps into the house and seized the intruder. He could distinguish pla:nly between the combat- ants. Costigan had not waited to .dress and his white night proved the other must be the burglar, The two men quickly subdued the HKouse- breaker. They took the revolver—and searched him for other weapons. Policeman Ryan responded finally to Mrs. Costigan’s cries. He put the man under ap- rest. No more resistance-was offered: The would-be burglar was thoroughly cowed. ¢ At the poiice station the man gave the name of John Smith: He claimed this was his first offense. . The police were inclined to agree with him. His lack of nerve and his clumsiness evidently betrayed the am- eur. The weapvn, which he forgot to +4 was of the old fashioned horsepistol type.

The young man who had come so oppor- tunely to Costigan’s assistance went away, without giving his name, as soon as Po- liceman Ryan appeared.

GENERAL COMMANDING FIRST WITNESS EXAMINED. Adjutant-General Corbin Sends an Or- der Which. Was Read by the Court Marking Out the Line of Its Procedure. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Gen. Miles to- dnay in his testtmony before the Military Court, said his use of the phrase “pretense of experiment,’ in speaking of army beef, was unfortunate. He disclaimed intending any inference of fraud, and said he should have said the refrigerated beef issue was ‘On the theory of an experiment,’ and ‘a very costly one.’ Aside from the amencment the General stands on the state. ment made before the War Board. / WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The Court of Inquiry to examine into the army beef con- troversy assembled to-day. Brigadier-Gen- eral George W. Davis and Col. George .L. Gillespie, members of the court; and Col. George B. Davis, Recorder and’ Judge Ad- vocate, were first to arrive. Major-General James F. Wade, President of the Court, came later, and at 10:3 the court, in full dress uniform, proceeded to the White House where it paid its respects to the President ‘and then to the War Depart- ment, where it called upon Secretary Al- ger and Major-General Miles. Meantime representatives of the press who were ac- corded places in the courtroom had as- sembled, and on the outside were many other cotresponnens and a numer of ar- iets specially detailed to attend the in- quiry. During the morning several army officers who are in the city as witnesses reported to Col. Dav‘e, the Recorder, but remained onlv a few moments at the rooms of the court. : The court returned at 12:06 from lis visit of courtesy, and after two Fac ga a apg made pictures of the court, .

Wade, president of the court, explainimg specifi-; cally the lines along which the court was expected to investigate. he court was then sworn and Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles was presented as the first witness. He appeared in fatigue uniform and was sworn. After stating his rank and office he was asked about his state- ment ‘before the War Commission. He said he made one and upon Col. Davis’ submit- ting a printed report of that statement, Gen. Miles examined and approved it. Then he was asked about an alleged in- terview which appeared in a New York pa- per of Dec. 23, whether it represented com- pletely or in part what he said. Gen. Miles read it and then said: “I do not recall phage in that inter- view that had not been given in my tes- timony, or transmitted In my reports. You will observe it contains a number of my declinations to name officers or my au- thorities and refusals to answer. It must, aT be incorrect in its representa- tionts.’’ He then commented upon the general slight imaccuracy of newspaper interviews owing to the dependency of writers n their memories. Hardly a day in six months had passed that an interviewer had not applied, and because of the kindness of the press to the army and especially the enlisted men, ‘he had endeavored to give them such information as he thought wite and safe, but never, he said, with a view to prejudicing any one against ony per- gon or department. Finally, Gan. Miles said he did not think the interylew referred to represented correctly what he said, because its contenta should be taken in connection with all that was said, silence upon some points and speech upon others. Then, being asked about an interview in the New York Herald, Feb. 1, he said: “T have a letter from the gentleman who I understand this, In which ‘he says he is willing to swear that I declined to be in- terviewed, and that, thinking something had been given out, he had proceeded to write what he knew were the fects,” He then pointed out that the interview was erroneous, in that where it represent- ed him to have said that he had overwheim- ing evidence that the refrigerated beef was treated with chemicals, the fact was that his only evidence was what was contained in the reports of officers and statements of men who claimed that the beef had the odor of an embalmed body, that they had heen fluid injected into beef and other indi- eations of chemical treatment. He declared the interview what he could possibly have . Col. Davis, recurring to the state Gen. Miles before the Wer Comm asked him what his idea as to the beef sup- army was when e war broke Gen.

SOLDIERS TO BE SENT HOME All Volunteers Now in the United States Will Be Mus- tered Out. CITY HOSPITAL IMPROVEMER Building Connected With the Fire Alarm Office. NEW PORCELAIN BATH TUBS. STAIRWAYS AND MEANS OF EXIT TO BE WIDENED. ES Food Supply Daily Examined and In- creased—More Good Work Accom- plished by the Post- ‘ Dispatch. The deplorable condition existing at the City Hosp'tal, to which forc!ble attention was recently directed by the Post-Dispatch, are now assured of practical improvement. A large force of workmen have been en- gaged several days in making much-needed changes in the old building. The work is be'ng prosecuted under the personal supervis‘on of Superintendent Dr. H. L. Nietert. Several thousand dollars are to be expended. In every ward of the institution will be placed an automatic fire alarm, connecting with the St. Louis Fire Alarm office. ; If the appropriation permits, wide stair- ways will be constructed. Under the pres- ent arrangement it would be next to .mpos- sible for a sick patient to escape from the hospital in case of a. fire. Dr. Nietert will also try to have a.mem- ber of the F‘re Department on permanent oney at the hospital. The proposed inno- vations will reduce the danger from that source to a minimum. When the Post-Dispatch exposed the hoe- ital evils particular stress was laid on the uilding’s wretcned sanitation. It atients are taken immedaiately after “4d- jetert declares will be as convenient and closets, unfit for use, were calculated to | breed the most virulent discase. Superintendent Nietert, in his appeal to the authorities for relief, dwelt strongly upon this point. The result ‘s a complete remodeling .of the toilet-room.

New flooring has been laid, the walls and ceilings replastered and the ventilation made ec " Plu rs are now at work on the san'- r arrangements in other paris of the hype ob tghds though tt a, ~ e A ges pas will as convenient a health for the inmates the isimited appropriation at hand will ahow. 7 e repairs,’’ said he, “‘will extend from cellar to roof. Not a w neg- lected. Each wiil be thoroughly over- hauled, replastered, repainted and made’ so bul not object. While we intend to make the most of existing circumstances we cannot lose sight.of the fact that a new City Hos- pital is a prime necessity. The building we are in is out of date, insecure, and 10 amount of repairing can overcome the ob- stacles which it presents for the care of the sick. “Sti, with the accomplishment of plans under way the hospital will be in much better sha to fulfiill its mission than it has been for some time past. The benefi- ctal effect will soon be apparent and I think no further complaints will be forthcoming.”’ D. Metert has given attention to the food supply and he ordered a searching exam.- antton of it daily. His mnesvaemt. r. John Dean, is also ably helping in the good work. The superintendent is devoting his undi- vided attention to the hosp‘tal and since he assumed charge, two months ago, he eays he has labored from 10 to 15 hours a day to promote the welfare of the city’s patients. The startling disclosures at the City Hos- pital made by the Post-Dispatch’s exhaus- tive investigation of affairs is still fresh '‘n the public mind. It was brought about y Mr. Joseph Frankhin, ee of the William Barr Dry Goods Company. To the Post-Dispatch and other newspapers of St. Louis he sent a note of inquiry respect- ing the r food supply and the unsani- tary conditions also reported to exist in the City Hosp'tal. The other papers virtually ignored the request, while the Post-Dis- ch took steps at once to effectually ™m or deny the information confided to a Mr. Franklin. Mr. Joseph M. Adams of the Post-Dis- patch staff was detailed on the case. He was admitted to the City Hospital suf- fering from malaria, and was a patient there 3% hours. The details of his stay in the hospital and the facts afterward given in the Post-Dispatch concerning it are too familiar to need repetition. GLASS USED FOR PAVEMENTS.

MORE BITTERLY ‘ASSAILED THAN PREDECESSORS. Crowds Break the Windows of the Rothschilds’ Offices and Commit Other Outrages, but Police Disperse the Mobs. PARIS, Feb. 20.—All the anti-revision pa- pers to-day violently assail the new Presi- dent, M. Loubet, shieking for this instant resignation. But the situation is quiet. De Roulede and his followers are planning a disturbance at the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies. There were many disturbances streets last night, but no.serious outbreak. At midnight crowds broke of the Rothschiids’ offices of the Anti-Juif. Minor disturbances took place in various parts of the city, but the crowds were dispersed. Never before has a. President of the ‘French Repwbtic been confronted from the very hour of his election with such hos- tile demonstrations nor persecuted by such @n abusive press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2®.— Mand thou- sands of the Spanish soldiers belonging to the armies that operated in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines have declined to be sent back to Spain. It is estimated that at least 20,000 of these men have chosen to take the chances for the future in the islands when they fought for Spain. Whether this wll prove a blessing the administration does not know. But there is much speculation about the probable ef- fects upon the several peoples from this admixture of Spanish soldiers who have refused to be repatriated. MINISTER CUTS HIS THROAT.

FILIBUSTERS FROM CUBA. THEY ARE WELL ARMED AND WILL HAVE RAPID-FIRE GUNS. Discontent Caused by Robbery of the People Under the Guise of Taxa- tion Worse Than Weyler’s Rule in Cuba. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2%.—The revolution in Nicdragua against President Zelaya, led by Gen. Reyes, has gained new force by the accession of from 300 to 500 Americans, who came from Cuba. These filibusters are well armed with modern rifles and accord- ing to the latest news from Bluefield (Feb. 15) expected a cons.gnment of Hotchkiss and Gatling guns from the United States. The American contingent are known as the “Rough Riders.’’ When the steamer bring- | ing this news left Greytown a battle was expected between the Gbdvernment troops and the insurgents. Greytown was surrounded by the Rough Riders. Col. G. W.

The discontent against President Zelaya is widespread. In addition to levy!ng tariff taxes on the eastern coast Zelaya caused to be sum- moned the leading native capitalists of the country and, declaring them to be enemies of the republic, caused them to be mulcted in fines that.in most instances were equ.va- lent of their entire available capital.

TIME OF SERVICE ONE ISSUE. Democrats Want to Place a Limit on Period for Which the Increase Is to Be Made. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2®.—The contest over the new army bill is on in Congress. The vital point of difference between the two sides of the chamber is the duration of time for which the increase of the army is to be made. The Republicans demand that it shall be permanent and the Democrats refuse to make it more than temporary. The latter declare that they will not aban- don this position, and say that whatever is done must be done evith this understand- ing. Some of the friends of the bill have suggested the acceptance of the Hull bill with an amendment making the increase for only a specified time; but the Demo- erats generally manifest a disposition not to accept this change, as they say it would leave the way open for the Republicans to get the legislation they want in the next Congress by repeaiing the temporary pro- vision. So far no tangible basis for a com- promise has been suggested on either side, but some of the most influential members of the Senate are working to that end, and the prediction is freeiy made that they will succeed before the close of the sess-on. It has never been supposed that any common *ground would be foun@ until the champions Yon the two sides sheuld have an oppor- tunity to test the metal of each other's weapons ; The question comes,,up in the Senate to- dav. The Military Committee has submitted two bills for its eonsideration. One of these, the House (known as the Hull) bill, is reported with but few amendments by. its Chairman, Senator Hawley. It has been perfected by the compmjitee, including the Democratic members in several particulars; the most noteworthy .and valuable being, perhaps, the provision. increasing the corps of cadets by 100, and insuring an adequate source of supply for vacant second lleuten- antcies. The measure preserves the pres- ent organization and slightly strengthens the cavalry, augments the artillery and or- ganizes that arm on a: scientific basis suited to our conditions, gives to the Iinfaatry the much needed three battalion organiza- tion, and makes only such additions to the staff as are absolutely indispensable. The other bill is brought forward by Senator Cockrell. Its first section directs the disbandment of the volunteer army within a specified period after the peace treaty shall have been ratified by Spain. Sections 2 and 3 contain its principal pro- visions. By the former authority is con- ferred for continuing the regular army at its war strength until July 1, 181, while the third section authorizes the President to raise military forces to the number of 85,000 in Cuba, Porto Rico and the islands of the Pacific, to be known,. respectively, as the Army of Cuba, the Army of Porto Rico and the Army of the Islands of the Pacific. to be composed of the inhabitants of such islands. No organization is pro- vided’ in the bill for this force, nor does it determine what relation it shall sus- tain toward the permanent military estab- lishment of the United States; and no pro- fessional. educational or other test is pre- scribed for the persons who are to officer ity The War Department has issued a state- ment championing the Hull biil, in which s said: the returns of the War Department show the strength of the regular a at this time to be only a few less than 60,000 enlisted men. Of these are nearly 14,000 in Cuba, and a like number in, or en route to the Philippines, and in Porto Rico 4586, leaving the total enlisted men of the reg- ular army in the United States 24,000. The Hawley bill fixes the permanent mil- itary establiahment at the minimum of 50, - 000, a force that is smaller in proportion to population and wealth of country than ixed by any other act of Congress. At this time there is not an officer on duty with any college in the United States, nothwit standin the law contemplates that there shall be 100 detailed for the instruc- tion of the young men of the country, but the absence of officers from their regi- ments by reason of wounds and sickness, and of the necessity of the services in con- nection with the muster out of volunteer regiments, compelled the department to withdraw instructors from the educational institutions. Neither has it been able to attach officera to our embassies and lega- tions abroad. The passage of the Hawley bill would en- abie the department to meet this urgent re- quirement, and also to re-establish the schools at Fort Leavenworth, the artillery echoo! at Fort Monroe and the cavalry and light artillery school at Fort Riley, all of which are now closed for the want of of- ficers. The passage of the Cockrell bill would discharge at once all the volunteer quartermasters, medical officers, commis- saries, many of whom are officers of the reguiar army, holding volunteer commis- sions, The statement closes as follows: The natives of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines do not understand our pur- wes, and ways of government sufficiently * admit of their being made part of our militaty establishment to the extent of or- ganizing them into companies, battalions and regiments at once.

Minister Wu Believes the Story Grew Out of Some Local Dis- turbance. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassador, who was sta- tioned at Peking five years, told the Post- Dispatch correspondent to-day that he had no advices regarding a conflict at Talien- wan. It is almost impossible that there should have been an armed conflict there between Russian and Chinese troops,”’ he said, “for there are no Chinese troops there. Talienwan is occupied by 12,000 Rus- sian troops, supported by a large fleet, and that the Chinese should attack the point is impossible. I do not believe an armed conflict has taken place. ‘It is possible that there may have been some local] disturbance by natives, but it would hardly be necessary to call the troops into action to restore order. Two po- licemen could. handle 58000, and any local disturbance would soon be quelled. “The situation there is not strained and a local disturbance would have no sig- nificance beyond the momentary excite- ment of the natives. It could not possibly result seriously or have any political sig- nificance.”’ The Chinese Minister, Mr. Wu, also dis- credited the report as far as it relates to a conflict between Russian and Chinese troops. He had no report of the affair. ‘Tallenwan is occupied by Russian troops,”” he explained, “and so far as I know there are no Chinese troops there. In the country beyond there are Chinese troops, but I do not suppose that Russian lines have been extend s0 as to come into conflict with them, ‘The probabilities are, I should say, that if there has been any trouble it was a na- tive uprising resulting from the Russian occupation and some outrage committed. Perhaps the Russian troops may have been on a spree and abused and beat the natives. ‘‘An inspired attack by either native Chi- nese or Chinese troops is out of the question, as the situ- ation there is very peaceful. Any dis- turbance must have been local, without sig- nificance, and will have no serious consge- quences. It will not disturb the relations of the two Governments.”’ Talienwan is about 100 miles from Port Arthur, the Russian coaling station and headquarters in China. In and about the two places is a Russian army of from 14,- 000 to 2,000. The Chinese army in Man- churia, in which province both places are situated, consists of about 16, men, of whom, however, but 3000 are sufficiently drilled to be of any use in actual warfare. Talienwan is the proposed terminus of the railway Russia is building through Stberia and Manchuria to connect the ports of the Yellow Sea with St. Petersburg. GILLETT MAY BE A SCAPEGOAT His Quarrel With Troxel Expected to Bring Out Disclosures Impli- cating Others. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 2.—Consider- able worry is manifested in certain circles in the stock yards over the report of a quarrel between Grant C. Gillette, the fu- gitive cattle king, and his attorney and companion, C. R. Troxel, in Old Mexico. It is reported also that Troxe}] has announced a determination to come to Kansag City and make startling disclosures as to the reason of gyn flight. Many ugly stories are afloat in which connect others with Gillett, who i is declared, received a good share of the plunder, These men are uneasy, and ac- cording to rumor, have made every prep- aration to fight Troxel and the stories he may tell, by retaining some of the best legal talent in that city. One st that has gone the rounds the last tow days is to the effect that the whole Gillett deal was a gigantic conspiracy, and that $50.000 was recently given to one man to dis. tribute among those interested; that {n- stead of doing ev he pocketed the entire sum, and the conspirators are urging him to settle. Whether Troxel returns to the States or not, there is a strong probability of developments in the near future.

PERFECT GOODS AT WET PRICES!!"@= ; hy GOLD FOR BUT FEW, OFFICIAL h vice Is TO STAY OUT OF KLONDIKE. ’ —— ALL THE COUNTRY IS STAKED. Number of Claims Producing Is Com- paratively Small and the Boom Is Speculative. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Secretary Al- ger has transmitted to Congress a com- plete report on the relief work of the War Department in the Klondike country, un- dertaken under act of Congress as a result of reports that extreme distress among the miners followed the influx to the gold country during 1897-1898. It embraces the detailed reports of Capt. P. H. Ray and Lieut. W. P. Richardson. Aside from de- tails of the relief work, Capt. Ray’s last report, dated May last, contains the fol- lowing interesting statement: I deem it of the greatest importance for the development of the country that roads should be opened, so as to enable the peo- ple to enter the country not only from the Yukon to the open sea in our own country, which is of the greatest importance, but to enable miners and prospectors to get into the interior with their supplies. Under ex- isting conditions pe: sons can enter the coun- try only by the one great highway—the Yu- kon River—and they can not hope to be — at any point in Alaska eariier than uly 1. ‘The gold-bearing districts are from 6 to 18 miles back from the main stream. There are no summer trails except foot trails, and provisions and mining tools can only be tra.sported on the backs of men, “I do not find anything either in Alaska or the Northwest Territory to justify the great rush of people to that country, or the enormous investment now being made in transportation, trading and mining com- panies, In the Northwest Territory no dis- coveries of extraordinary richness have been made since that of the Klondike, and the claims are almust entirely confined to Bonanza, Eldorado, Dominica, Honka and Sulphur Creeks, with a few claims on Bear Creek. In this district all rich claims are well known and held at very high prices, and while the whole country has been staked it has been done for speculative pur- poses, and no work is being done except such as is necessary to hold a title until they can be sold to the unwary newcomer or disposed of in the. States for corpora- tion schemes. Capt. Constantine of the Canadian Northwestern Mounted Police fs my authority for denouncing the movefient as a fraud. “In the absence of any other tndustry, except cutting of wood for the river boats, I do not see anything in the future for over 90 per cent of the people now flocking to that country but disappointment and suf- fering. Even those who obtain employ- ment at $1.50 per hour find that, after de- ducting the cost of food, packing, candles, etc., they do not net to exceed $2 per day, and they tell me it is hardly enough to tide them over the idle season. “Up to date no paying mineral lodes of either gold ar silver have been discovered in North Alaska, s0 far as known, ‘“T am now fully satisfied that in the near future Alaska will be the source of great wealth, but the development will neces- sarily be slow owing to the climatic condi- tions. I recommend the early introduction of horses, mules and cattle, and extra in- ducements should be held out for the de- velopment of agriculture in the valley of the wer Yukon especially. Wild hay can be obtained there in great aboundance, and oats, barley and spring wheat can be suc- cessfully cultivated, as well as potatoes, turnips and all the more hardy garden vegetables, all of which would be required for many years to meet the local demand, and by reducing the cost of transportation ar) food, render it possible to profitably w@k a large per cent of the mines now lying idle. “But few of the people now entering the Northern part of the Territory will ever become a factor in its permanent develop. ment. They must pass away before the time when the wealth of the country will hecome known and developed. To promote this [I recommend that severa well- equipped parties be put in the fleld and a thorough geographical anc geoler'cal ex- ploration of the country be made, so that men of ordinary means will be able to engage in the work of prospecting and min- ing. At present it requ'res considerable capital to firs: explore the country for a practical route to transport supplies before any work can be done in prospect'ng. ‘The ruling rate of interest at Bawson ls from 10 to 12 per cent per month, which is the hest exemplification 1 can give of the speculatingcondition of the finances of that country.” ALL OUT OF IT BUT TWO. _— Se a ee Columbia Men the Only Candidates to Succeed Kneisley.

The map published in yesterday’s Sunday Post-Dispatch exhibiting the various acquisitions of territory by the United States shows the history of the country’s growth at a glance. That Texas was part of the Louisiana Purchase the most conservative and cautious historians will probably admit.

In every settlement in probate the State is an interested party. Claims in behalf of the public may be ‘enforced, and tn case settiement is procured without such al- _lowancés the case can be reopened. ~) En thie view the whole responsibility rests upon the officials Of the State. If they do their duty, even under the present ~I6ose and confused tax laws, they can recover large sums Which are now lost. If the people will hold their servants Tigidly to their duty the scandal of tax-dodging can be re- duced to a minimum. — hy he ’ i _—_—_— Compare the St. Louis Sunday papers of yesterday.

Judge Advocate General Jewett, who has just returned from Manila, attributes the trouble in the Philippines’ to the lack of a fixed policy in Washington. Aguinaldo, he says, cannot conceive a powerful nation with- out a policy, and as our Government has never frankly told the Filipinos. what is to be done with them they are naturally suspicious and cbhstreperous. As this is what may be called expert opinion it ought to he heeded. If the trouble is due to suspicion aroused by the shifty Course and utterances of cur worthy President and not to the imtrigues of American “traitors,” ‘‘copperheads’” and “enemies of this country,” we ought to get a policy at once, so that the Filirinos may know what te expect. There are thiee courses oper to the Government: 1. Abandon the archipelago altogether and leave the inhabitants to their own devices, 2. A loca) self-government under American pro- tection, and perhaps supervision. 3. Government by Major Generais with “benevolent assimilation” in the shape of ex- termination. If the President throws his great influence fin favor of the second of these possible plans he will probably be supported by the people. sn other words the people want to do what is right in the circumstances. Questions often seem very per- plexing and diff-cult until they are rcduced to th» issue betwe n right and wrong. Then they are so plain that the most de- voted demagoryrue that ever slunk behind popular passions can understand them, and when he understands that the most popular of all popular passions is the passion for doing right, as it always is in America on second thought if not on first, he has no difficulty in trimming his eail to catch the breeze. LOur at > a>. -_ — wv = Carl Schurz’s assertion in the Sunday Post-Dispatch that the Germans have been and are still our friends, and that British misrepresentations alone have conveyed the idea of hostility, may as well be accepted as true. Every great Euro- pean power is now eager to be a friend to us, and we are not disposed to quarrel with any people anywhere unless it be the insurgent Filipinos that Spain has left on our hands. Ee ee Although there has been some disturbance in Paris and the factional! press is saying bitter things about the new Presi- dent, the prospect is excellent for peace. If the monarchists had an opportunity they lost it, and the mob which hissed and spit at Loubet, was, after all, so tame a mob that it respected the dead and formally postponed its outbreak. Little is to be feared from a mob of this kind. Speaker Ward and the members of the State House of Rep- resentat:ves who support his rule against the press, would do better by amending their conduct than by venting their spite on the newspaper correspondents, whose sole offense Is that they have told the public the truth. Acts like this merely emphasize in the public mind the original cause. soe . The United States, if not the rest of the world, are looking to see what St. Louis and Missouri are going to do in start- ing the large funds necessary to make the great World's Fair of 1903 surpass all other exhibitions of the kind. Not an hour of time should be lost in the enormous preparations indis- pensable in so vast an enterprise. i i i i Itis possible that nearly every important convention of 1993 will be held in St. Louis, because of the World’s Fair. We must certainly prepare for an enormous influx of people from all the States. We can do this, however, without making the mistakes that Chicago made. h~h> Lp Missouri Congressmen should all know Senor Aspiroz, the new Ambassador from Mexico. St. Louis is largely interested in Mexican trade, and Senor Aspiroz should be made ac- quainted with every important fact concerning the Valley Metropolis. = Ss ~~ Fre If, as Dr. Dwight says, ‘“‘the genuine university man is al- ways 9 gentlemnan,” it may have been Mr. Rockefeller’s idea, in giving so much to the university of Chicago, to produce a class of men who would not be money-grabbers and trust ben- eficiaries. ote Senator Hanna tells a Post-Dispatch correspondent that Speaker Reed will not antagonize Administration measures, and this is probebly true.

Causes Hestricted Until Attorneys Have Ceased Rushing Their Clients Into Court. ‘ Since Jan. 1 there has been a great de- crease in the number of applications for divorces in St. Louis, as compared with the corresponding period of lest year. Lawyers are no longer rushing into the courts with every litfle grievance of disaf- fected spoures and asking for decrees of dl- vorce upon the showing of any wrongs, however slight they may be. Before an attorney filea a divorce suit now he investigates his case carefully, exam- ines all his witnesses and assures himself that he can prove to the satisfaction of the court any allegations that he may wish to make. If the investigation reveals the fact that his client is without a clear case, he advises him or her not to appeal to the courts. This condition of divorce litigation is the result of recent decisions by St. Louis Circuit Judges in eeveral interesting di- vorce sults. These decisions have so nar- rowed the grounds upon which petition- ers for divorces must stand that many will prefer to endure their marital grievances rather than sub«nit to the searching inquir- les into their motives that the courts now demand. “The St. Lou's wages Court will grant @ d'vorce when the petftioner is clearly en- titled to it; but in determining whether a vorce has been just'y prayed for, the udgés will follow the rules and restric- ons laid down‘in the recent decisions.

They cannot be heard to com- plain afterwards.” udge Spencer also d'smissed the petition * of Florence Robinson for a divorce from as Robinson, because the plaintiff introduced only relatives—her mother and two children—to establish ther tase. The court said the test!mony of relatives is not always ‘mpertial, and cannot relied m when there are inducements for it to be influenced by prejudice. Judge Withrow refused to grant Grace E. Bohn a divorce from Frank Bohn because some of the evidence indicated that the plaintiff and defendant had entered into a collusion to obtain the divorce.

Dan Creedon, Who Is Training at West Baden, Would Like to Appear Be- fore the West End Club. Jimmie Murray, the Cincinnati light- weight, who defeated Joe Frede, the St. Louis boy at Hot Springs, recently, does not like the statements published to the effect that he does not want any of Ea Lally’s game. The latter is undoubtedly the leading lightweight of St. Louis and he recently offered to theet Murray at 140 pounds.

Perhaps Sharpe will beat him in that contest in which event Lally will have to take a back seat. But should Lally win from Sharpe, he will gladly take on Mur- ray and a meeting between them for the panto championship of Missouri and Ohio would tbe sure to prove interesting. If the West End Club wants a good card they can ‘have Dan Creedon for the ask- ing.

Whitehead, the famous deaf mute schedule maker, was told to make up a schedule and to submit it at the March meeting of the big baseball organization. Mr. Whitehead has completed his labors and has gotten up a schedule that will un- doubtedly be adopted by the National League at its March meeting and without a single change. According to this schedule the League eeason will open on Apri] 15 and close on October 15. Instead of all the clubs making four trips around the cireult as they did last year only three trips will be made. In the Western cities where Sunday games are allowed, eighteen Sunday and fourteen Saturday games are scheduled for each city, which is a record breaker in this particular. The schedule gotten up by Mr. White- head is by long odds the bezt ever sub- mitted to the National League, and those who. have seen it say it is centain to be adopted without any changes of importance being made in it.

The game, if it can be called a game, be- tweeen the West Ends and the Cycling Club resulted in a comparatively easy vic- tory for the West Ends. This is the first ror in the history of the St. Louis Foot- all Association that a team has played 17 straight games and lost every one of them, as the Cycling Club has done this year.

The distance is a mile and a sixteenth, and oid Buckwa is so good just now that if there.js a moral certainty in enotng at fa'r vdds this race should furnish the ilius- tration. Buckwa’s most dangerous Oppo- nent will be Satsuma. The actual weights are: Buckwa, Il; Topmast, 108; Satsuma, 105; Espionage, 71. At New Orleans Monday’s racing piece will be a handicap at a mile. It is a_hard proposit:on to pick the winner, as J. H. C. (11) and Friskal (92), each won their last outs. Both are 5-year-olde, bui J. H. C.’s class should secure him ‘the long end of the purse.

Miller, the wae rpman, maintained ‘his position as the long-dis- tance champion of the world. e finish of the contest, which has caused much excitement in athletic circles, was comparatively tame. No less than six riders beat all previous records, and more miles might have been reeled off had there been any incentive to do so. But as all the men, excepting Gimm and Hale, were separated by distances too great to be overcome, ‘(n a few hours, the management declined to end ‘the race ahead of the scheduled time, which, however, was two hours longer than that of any previous six- dav contest. The famous s'x-day event in (Madison Square Garden lasted only 142 hours, while the riders at the Mechanics’ Pavilion con- t-nued their struggle for supremacy for 143 hours and 2 ‘nutes. There were no incidents during tHe cloeing hours ‘to arouse the 7000 spectators to outbursts of enthusi- asm, though much sympathy was ex- ~scosed for Gimm the one-t'me leader, who fell and was removed from the track, not to again return. Teudy Hale, who has been his close friend, for a time refused to ride further, but later on was induced to come on and fin'shed a Httle ahead of Gimm’s record. Fredericks, when sure of third place, quit the track and did not reappear wntil near the close. Lawson and Julius, though far in the rear, kept on their wheels as long as pos- sible and were among those who finished. At the close nearly all of the riders ap- — with brand-new suits, that of ‘Miller eing especially attractive. Barnaby, always eager to amuse, wore a tiny stovepipe hat and smoked a big cigar. They were all in a’ cheerful mood, es- pecially Hale, who seemed to be the fa- vori@g/ of the crowd. After vhe long race was concluded Harry Pikes ‘defeate J. Eaton in a five-mile paced race, his time being 9:52. The full score in the six-day event was as follows: M.

Charley Comisk2y Tells How That Great Pitcher Was Lost to Baseball. At the session of the Hot Air Club the other day Charlie Comiskey, the old com- mander of the St. Louis Browns, told this story: “One year we needed pitchers badly and I told my trobles to Von der Ahe. “He then told me, amdng other things, that he had sent a railroad ticket to a young farmer who lived near Sandusky, and, from all accounts, was a wonders 1 didn’t enthuse, for 1 had had-previous ex- perience with these rustic phenomenons, but Chris said that a friend of his in San- dusky had bet him a case of champagne that the boy would prove a great find. Next morning the boy from Sandusky showed up at the ball park. He was one of the biggest and strongest chaps I ever met in or out of baseball. What is more, he had a pitching arm of tremendous pow- ers, and after he passed the ball to me live minutes ‘I saw that he had a world of speed, and, for a raw amateur, very fair control of the ball. “Well, we started on a little training trip down South, and, as a matter of couse I took the boy with us. His terrific spee and ‘this willingness to learn made him popular with the members of the team and they spent hours in catching him. A week passed and I really began to think that I had discovered the pitching star o the year. Things went well until we struck Mobile. When we drove up to the hotel a fairly good hooking woman of W or there- abouts walked up to the bus and caug nt my Sandusky wonder by the arm. ‘“**William,’ she said, ‘I want to have a serious talk with you.’ “They strolled down the street arm in arm while the other players lounged around the hotel wondering what it all meant. Half an hour later the couple returned. The girl went into the parlor, but the young fellow called me to one aide. ‘“*‘Captain,’ he said, ‘I have gone and done it.’ ‘“ ‘Done what?’ I asked. ‘*Viarried Louisa,’ he answered, ‘You see, she come all the way from Sandusky to teach school down In this part of the coun- try, an’ she says she’s lonesome like an’ that playin’ dall,for wages don’t suit her views. Me an’ she kinder liked each other when she lived up in Sandusky, an’ we've been writin’ letters to each other ever since she left home. That's how she knew I was with your club. Captain, I guess that’s all, exceptin’ here’s the ® cents I borrowed from you yesterday. Louisa says I mustn't quit you owin’ a cent, and she give me the money to hand to you. “You don’t mean to say you are goin to quit the team,’.I gasped. “Why,.#e will make a pitcher of you and pay you good wages while you are developing. “ "That's just it,’ he answered. ‘Louisa saye I mustn’t play for money. Says her uncle, who is a preacher in the village, in- sists that it is wrong to do it. ‘Come in and ask Louisa if I am not tellin’: you the uth.’ Well, I spent an even half hour tn trying to induce that woman to change her — but she wouldn't. She said ehe had decide to make a lawyer out of her husband and that they would live on the money she earned teaching school until he was ad- mitted to the bar. Then ehe took her youth- ful hvehand away from the hotel and that was the last we ever laid eyes on the pair. Later tn the day I made a lit#le Investiga- tion on my own account and found that the woman. who, by the way, Was at least 10 years older than her new husband, had taken the boy straight to the paresaaee and married him before he had been tn tne town 2 minutes. I don't know what ever became of the ir. but I believe to this very day that if the Sandusky Tefror,’ as the players nicknamed him, had gone back to St. s with the team he would have developed into another Rusie. I have never forgiven that pretty echood teacher for ~~" him jump our chub, and, what's more, I never will.” A Billiard Tourney.

Mra. Nuttall is~l’ke ther husband in her ‘f{deas of right and wrong. She knows how ihe earned the money he used ‘to have. She is proud of his ability in that line and not at.all ashamed of his being in jail. She is only bitter against the men who “turned ,trattor,’’ as she calls it, on a man who Was a better “grafter,’’ but for lees money, when his hour of need approached. It was surmised at the time of the Nut- tail marriage that that event was hastened by the fact that a wife’s testimony is not competent against her husband in a crim- inal proceeding. Mrs. Nuttall said Monday morning: “Il saw Phiiper at our house since the pub- lication of the first story, albout the en- ineers’ licenses. He called to see Mr. uttall at the house and they had a talk at the foot of the stairs. While they were there eome one rang the beil and taey went upstairs to get out of sight. There was another person here besides myself who saw Philper at the same time.”’ Price has stated since Nuttall last testi- fied that the names of Armstrong and Sey- mour, for whom Nuttall said he procured licenses, do not appear anywhere on the “ ‘records of the Boiler Inspector's office, and that neither of them is a licensed engi- neer. ‘According to the same records, Norberg, the man who ‘paid money to Philper in a saioon at Mieventh and Chestnut sts. for a license, did not pass the examfnation. Nuttall did not tesitify as to how Nordberg secured the license, except that he paid $82 for it. There is no record of a $2 fee hav- ing been turned over to the city in his case. Nuttall’s arrest has reopened the old feud Detween the Sheriff’s office and the Po- lce Department.

ROBERT LEE ETTER. HUSBAND'S LOVING SACRIFICE. —_- ———_-_—_- - = Young Married Couple Who Had Been Popular in Society Passed Away Within Hours of Each Other. The shadow of a tragedy which is yet softened by a touch of poetry has fallen upon the social world since the death of Mrs. Mazie Seymour Etter, and subsequent- ly that of her husband, Mr. Robert Lee Et- ter, who were married in this city a little more than a year ago. ; Young Mrs. Etter, who was just 22 years of age, was the daughter of Mr. and ‘Mrs. A. Welbourne Moise of 2933 Morgan st. Her people are of ancient French lineage, and although the name is unusual in this city, it is one to conjure with in New Orleans and throughout North Carolina. Mrs. Etter, who wae a strikingly pretty girl of the typical Creole coloring, died at 7 o'clock Saturday morning, after a brief attack of cerebro-spinal meningitis, re- sult.ng from a severe cold contracted during a trip from Kansas City to her home here. Beyond the usual inconvenience produced by a light attack of grip, Mrs. Etter was in good health and spirits until Tuesday night of last week, when she complained of a severe headache. ‘Medical attendance was given her the following morning by Dr. Tuttle, who was, however, to prevent the iliness from developing into menengitis. A trained nurse was immediately engaged, and the patient placed in her care. Thursday night Mrs. Etter, who was in a highly nervous condition and suffering in- tensely, begged her husband notk to leave her side for a moment, and to take 7 nurse’s place. He complied giadly, an passed the night kneeling by her side. When day dawned Friday he was almost exhausted, and by 10 o’clock was compelled to go to bed. His condition grew speedily worse, and upon consultation with Drs. Kershaw and Tuttle, it was discovered that through infection he also had become ill with cerebro-spinal meningitis. Because of some former remotely similar attack, the disease immediately affected the brain, and by Saturday the’brave young man’s state had become serious indeed. Kvery possible attention was given him, and three phys.- cians called into consultation, but noth- ing could be done to save his life. e' was placed in the room adjoining that occupied by ‘his young wife, who had never known of his illness. Sunday night at 11:30 he gave up his young life, after having been in an unconscious etate since 3 o'clock of the preceding afternoon. He had not, of course, been told that his wife had gone before him. Mr. and Mrs. Etter were married by Rev. . J. Robert at the Church of the Holy Communion on the 13th day of June, 1897. The young men who were groomsmen cn that joyous occasion will act as pall-bear- ers at the funeral, which takes place at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon from the Churen of the Holy Commuffion. Mr. Etter was formerly junior partner of the Moise Law and Collection Agency, of which his wife's father: was the head. His parents reside in Holden, Mo., and he leaves behind two sisters and two brothers. Mrs. Etter was the only daughter in a family of three children. Her brothers are A. Sidney Moise and Welbourne Moise, Jr. Since their marriage the young couple had hived with Mrs. Etter’s people. MANILA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER. Editor Struggling Hard Against the Many Bank Holidays.

Some of Socialist Anna Smith’s auditors Sunday night were surprised at the moder- ate tone of her lecture. She emphatically disapproved of anything like violence, de- claring that if every capitalist were to be killed to-day his place would be quickly filled by some one from the middle classes. If we are in the place of the capitalists we would do as they do, and possibly not so well, she said. The whole trouble lay in the present system, which must be changed peacefully. Co-operation was the hope of the poor, and along.that line all reform- atory work must be done. The speaker quoted from the Post-Dispatch’s account of the leniency shown poor tenants by offi- cers in the recent severe weather. The ap- — was frequent, and at the close one epublican arose and announced himself a convert. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered the lecturer. HISTORICAL RELIC EXHIBIT. Missouri Society Preparing for an In- teresting Display. The Missouri Historical Society is prepar- ing for a loan exhibit of historical relics at its rooms, 1600 Locust st., March 20-3. The exhibition will be open to the public. In the display will be oil portraits of the pioneers of St. ouis, clothing and jewelry worn by the ancestors of many St. Louis families and articles of household furniture that have passed from them to the present generation. Solicitors are now at work collecting materia! for the display. A special feature of the exhibit will be relics of the colonial and revolutionary days obtained from all sections of the coun- try. Daily lectures, appropriate to the oc- casion will be given by eminent educators and public men. A WANDERING BABY BOY. Roy Cutting Was Picked Up and Taken to a Police Station. A big policeman found a wandering baby boy at Twelfth and Cass av. Sunday after- noon. He was a chubby little fellow, with bright eyes, a cheery voice and merry laughter. is apparent age was 3 years. He couldn't tell where he lived, and so he nestled close to the policeman and danced along to the Fourth District Station. There the Sergeant and the turnkey took turns at amusing and waiting on him. They even fed him cakes until he admitted he had enough. Along about dusk a distracted mother ar- rived at the station in search of her boy, She was overjoyed at finding him safe. He was perched on ‘the Sergeant’s desk, di- reeting the Police Department with all his might. The child’s name is Roy Cutting, and his home is only’a few blocks from the sta- tion, at 129742 N.

The ball was given in a hall at Ninth st. and Allen av. Mrs. Hutter was attired as a Swiss peasant. The fat man asked her to waltz with ‘him. She consented, and found him to be a better dancer than most fat men. If Mrs. Hutter hadn’t worn go FAT MAN CAUSES A SPRAINED ANKLE. THE her peasant’s skirt there would have been no-accident.

Within the memory of men now liv- ing there was an American custom of kill- ing men who betrayed women. It was & barbarous practice, and not nearly so re- fined as a suit for divorce and an action for damages, and possibiy not so sat:sfac- tory in the | run, but it was very sooth- ! to the feelings ofa eae people. e new comedy, ‘““The Head of tne 7 ily,” in which Mr. William H. Crane an his excellent compeny their engage- ment at the Ol ic last night, teaches us that in New York society it is the custom of maids to let men take them in their arms and kiss them before there .8 any talk of marriage; that it 1s le ~~ rake to invade a home and ugh at a defy the husband who thinks he is wronged, then walk away with a jaunty air tand a jaugh on his lips; that a school-gir! may hail the prospect of a family scandal leasure, because it will make her de- sranie as an actress. It Is an entertaining play, and Mr, Crane has a pleasing role, and his company is a most excellent one, but as a picture of life it is disappointing to old-fashioned folks who do not p-n ail their faith to legal remedies for domestic i Hs. . The hand of a girl who is ripe for matri- mony is sought by a friend of her father. She is in love with a younger man whom her mo.her favors. ne younger man calls, and the other members of the family leave him alone wit the girl, carefully closing the doors so that the love-making may not be disturbed. The young man stands up stiffly and coldly and teils the girl that love is a very nice thing, but marrying is not good for up-to-date peop'e. He advances his theory with so much in- souciance and good humor that one would not be warpetee to hear him break into the old ditty: I’m not a marrying man, my love; I live on a different plan, my love. There are opportunities in the scene to make the play me > on enough to become a great New York success, but Mr. Fred- erick Truesdell, who plays the villain, and Miss Percy Haswell, who is the girl, com- port themselves decorously. It is only after the girl tells the villain to go away and announces herself that ‘‘only yesterday he took me in his arms,” etc., that you learn that she has been indiscreet. After the villain makes his exit, laughing, the friend of:the girl’s father comes in, pro- poses, and is accepted. The girl's stated reason for accepting is that, as a married woman, she can make the villain suffer as he has made her suffer. A year passes and the girl is a mother, and, to her own surprise, in love with her husband. The villain:is brought into view again. He is engaged to marry a divorced woman, but, as’a side issue, is making love to the young wife. The young wite ex- poses him to the divorced woman and writes him a letter, telling him how many kinds of a villain he is. The young wife's brother-in-law gets drunk and tells her husband that she and the villain are be- ing discussed as lovers. The husband in- terrupts an interview between the young wife and the villain. She is about to give the villain his conge, but it doesn’t loox that way and the husband believes the worst. The villain encourages him in the belief and goes away again, laughing and defiant. He clearly has the best of it. The husband announces with great herois® that he will get a divorce and show the world what sort of a woman his wife is. The wife’s father comes in‘and takes up his daughter’s quarrel. He gets real busy, and straightens out the tangle by getting ossession of the villain’s mail and proving y a letter written ‘by the young wife to the villain that the young wife is entirely innocent. The villain is there and defies the husband and the father, and persists in blackening the fame of the wife. He is called a liar, and the divorcee comes in and tells him he is a wicked man, but Le goes away laughing and unharmed. The reward of the good people is that there won't be a scandal. Now, this statement of the story of the play may not guit some of the people who saw and enjoyed the performance last might, but it is the main thread of the argument, and is an illustration of how nice and civilized we Americans have become. The play ‘s an adaptation from the German by Clyde Fitch and Leo Ditrichstein. The pal German, but the atmosphere is New ork: Mr. Crane its on the stage a good deal, but is not always a prominent figure. He has an eccentric character part, which he interprets with admirable ekill. The com- pony is one of the best ever seén on a St. uis stage. The men and women in it know how to act and how to wear their clothes. Walter Hale does a bit of acting as a drunken man that is so natural that one is forced to the conclusion that Mr. Hale has seen men under the influence of liquor and remembers how they act. It isn't a stage drunk; it is the real thing. Mr. Truesdell is an effective villain. and Mr. Putnam does good work. The women are all handsome, and they all wear good clothes. Speaking of clothes—the tautness of the skirts about the hips recalls the old “pin back’ days. Gladys Wallis has a lit- tle bit of a part, and Miss Wallis is a little bit of a girl, but she makes it charming. Miss Haewell, Miss Ysobe!l Haskins. Miss Kate Lester, Miss Olive Oliver and Miss Frances Stevens all wear nice gowns and act well, and Miss Leila Bronson is a very attractive maid servant. : It is a good*company and a very pleasing play, but some people will always wonder why and how the villain gets off so easy. There is a good bill at the Columbia this week, but it isn’t worth while to stay for the last number if you want to get home early. The last number {s a sketch called “The Day Before the Wedding,” presented by the Celumbia Theater Stock Company. It appears to have been written by Alex Meyers. The theme is the old one of two traveling bags getting mixed up and caus- ing complications. ere are about nine- teen million words in the ece. It Its thirty minutes of talk, talk, talk, and not bright talk at that. The members of the company are clever and do a good deal to redeem the dreariness of the sketch. With a good piece they should prove a meritorious attraction. Lillian Burchard and:James K. Macurdy present a delightful sketch, ‘“‘The Lady of the Rowan Tree.”’ It is about a fairy who comes out of a tree and meets a man. She loves him and kisses him and is returned to the Rowan tree because it fg against the law for a fairy to kiss a mortal. There is a strong specialty bill between the two sketches. A well-filled auditorlum greeted ‘The French Maid” at the Century Jast evening, although it was the second visit of that frisky young person to ; Louis. Those in the audience who did not see the prior performances were {m- mensely pleased, Those to whom the muat!- cal absurdity was less of a novelty were rather disappointed in certain directions. Messrs. Evans and Ziegfeld have preserved the distinguishing features of the enterta{n- ment, however, and have added a new one in the presence of Anna Held. The young Frenchwoman breaks tnto the second act long enough to sing four songs, one of which {s rendered tn her native language The other three, done in broken English. are clever enough, but chiefly serve to show the audience that Miss Idalene Cotton, who lays the French Mald, has ood a rench-English accent as Miss Held has an English-French dialect. Miss Held 41d not forget to sing “Won't You Come and Play With Me” with her characteristic shrugs and winks, all of which her 4udience ap- plauded from the first bars of the tntroduc- tory music to the last chorus. Charlies Bigelow fs still the irresistably comiec:’ walter. He carried the persermance la evening as he did when here before, an. has done ever eince the first rformance., it might be said. His ‘Table d'Hote” song remains the hit of the show, and ft was Bigelow who had the only new joke of the evening. He came on the stage with a 6achshund. When asked what had fallen on the dog he sald that nothing had; the reason the dog was so squat was that it was born and raised under a bureau. Miss Cotton makes an animated femme de cham- bre, and Miss Yolande Wallace is stifll the handsome Mme. Camambert. The chorus is good looking. and the display of lace underclothes quite as unlimited as that to be found In the show windows of any down- town dry goods store. One or two of the principal members of the cast are hardly as acceptable as their predecessors.

There is a jaunting car scene and a eteeplechase with real race horses, and a stable yard setting in which Manager Gumpertz has in- troduced enough poultry, dogs and pigeons to start a farm with. Stage Director Lyons has drilled an Irish mob so effectively that one feele that a riot call ‘s actually neces- Sary to save the theater from destruction. Apart from the scenic production given the piece, thé interest in the performance yes- terday afternoon was attached to the debut of Miss Minnie Radcliffe, the new leading woman of the stock company. Her suc- cess wae pronounced from the first act. It must have been exceedingly gratifyin to her to step so easily into the favor o the audience. She follows in the places of other heroines for whom the Imperial clien- tele has wept and with whom it s re- joiced, according to the trials and happi- ness assigned by the various authors, and it was no small compliment for her to be called before the curtain once and some- times twice after each of the acts For roles such as she is given in ‘“‘The English Rogse”’ the Imperial has never had, during the existence of its stock company, so gen- erally sutisfactory a leading woman. Mise Radcliffe has youth and a pretty, girlish countenance, a sweet voice and a rare charm of stage presence. She is natural at all times, and seems to know what not to do rather than what to do. Yesterday she dressed as she acted, ‘n taste, and on the whole Was an most pleasing to look upon. With a single exception the strength of the Imperial stock company is judiciously distributed in the cast of characters Why Mr. Gumpertz should have chosen Mise Reed to play Bridget O’ Mara is a mana- er‘al whim not to be accounted for at “st glance. Miss Reed ts an excellent actress in certain lines, but she is eadl out ef place as a simple-hearted Iris country girl Mr. Gumpertz would have been wiser to give the part to Miss Hen- derson, who is too clever a woman to be romping around the etage in the center of a bunch of ;easantryx.
