"Two Little Vagrants" Is booked at the Tark Theater April 15, 16 and 17. xxx "Siberia," Bartley Campbell's realistic melodrama of life in the dominions of the Czar, will be presented at the Park Theater the first half of next week by a company that is claimed to have been carefully selected. New and handsome settings are promised also. XXX Camllle D'Arville, the operatic star, who heads the bill at the Grand next week, is one of the highest-salaried people in vaudeville, and It is said that people who come under the spell of her matchless voice are willing to declare that she is not overpaid. xxx A large crowd of school children visited the Zoo last night and enjoyed the programm offered. There was the usual approach to a tragedy, according to the press agent, who says that Madame Morelli nearly lost her life through an attack by a Jaguar. XXX A high-class combination, entirely of colored talent. In a programme of combined comedy, specialties and operatic selections, is John W. Isham's "Octoroons," which will play an engagement of two performances only at tho Park Theater to-day. There is an extraordinary demand for seats for this engagement. XXX "A Stranger in a Strange Land," the new Anglo-American comedy that is coming to the Park Theater next Thursday afternoon, to remain the rest of the week, is heralded as a prominent New York success, having run for many weeks at the Manhattan Theater. The cast includes a number of well-known people of the stage. XXX Tom Nawn and his wife and daughter are scrprising their friends at the Grand this wck by their admirable work In Edmund Pay's bright comedy, "Pat and the Genie." The Nawns have appeared at the Park Theater several times, but have not heretofore been provided with such an excellent medium in which to exploit their talent. XXX Manager Miller, of English's Opera House, announced late last night that the Hoston Lyric opera company, composed of sixty people, has been booked at English's the last three nights and Saturday afternoon of next week. Three popular comic operas will be presented "Wang," "The Fencing Master" and "The Idol's Eye." XXX Harry Budworth, an old-time minstrel und vaudeville performer, died, Tuesday night, of hemorrhage of the lungs, at the home of a friend, in New York. Mr. Uudworth was over tifty and at one time was one of the most popular of Haverlev's minstrel troupe. Recently he played the vaudeville houses with his wife, Nellie Budworth. xxx The street scene in "Richard Savage." in which the strongest situation of the play occurs, is said to be one of the most elaborate and realistic attempted in some years. It represents a junction of three streets near Temple Par, in London. Wagenhals Sc Kemper, who are managing Henrv Miller In "Itlchard Savage." are also directing the tours of Mme. Modkesja and of the Louis Jame?-Kathryn Kidder combination. These men are noted for the splendor of their theatrical productions. "Richard Savage" will be presented with an exceptionally strong cast at English's Opera House Saturday afternoon and night of tho current week. XXX The passage of Runyan's describing the business cf Vanity Fair is as much a key to Mrs. Fiske's play, "Hecky Sharp," as it Is to the novel from which the play was made. It Is a picture of the kingdom of this world, and of a nvt successful and singular queen of tht kingdom one who is nt first. It is true, merely an aspirant, a would-be fjueen. and who at last is a queen uncrowned and in exile, a hissing and a tcorn to her former kingdom, but who in the time between mounts to the throne of worldly micci5!. wields the scepter and H courted by the great. This i Beckv Sharp us she will b? portrayed by Mrs. Fiske at the Park Theater to-morrow and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon. Seats are being steadily disposed of for this notable engagement anil those who put on? getting iheir locations until the last minute will experience disappointment. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

"Havana Is as clean a city as Indianapolis, if not cleaner," he said. Mr. Gilbert says that every man in Cuba who is worth a dollar wants the United States to retain control of the Island.

"If the United States stays in Cuba," said Mr. Gilbert, "there will be great opportunities on the island for young men of push and energy." STOLE POROUS PLASTERS.

April 3. The Legislature has nowcompleted half of Its term of service and only one bill has reached the Governor. This bill appropriates money for the expenses of the session. In both Senate and House constant debates over small matters have prevented the transaction of business, the Senate especially having occupied nearly all of its time in debates over rules and quarrels over the rulings of the president. The home rulers have many caucus measures pending which are beginning to be in danger of falling to pass for lack of time, and they are preparing for night sessions to force the transaction of business. Seventy bills are before the House in various stages and half as many are before the Senate. Dr. N. Russeli. president of the Senate, to-day presented his resignation. His action was due to a disagreement with other members of the Home Rule party on the dispensary law. Dr. Russell is the author of the bill, which has been held In committee for some time. At a caucus last niRht he threatened to resign if the bill was not reported to-day, and to-day he carried out his threat. The House is considering a specific tax on sugar as a means of raising revenue. More resolutions calling on heads of departments for correspondence from Washington have been passed and a number of investigations are in prospect. Gold in Rubber Formt. LIMA. Peru. April 3.

It proves the existence of the precious metal even in the rubber forests of Carabaya.

QUITTING PORTO RICO

3IA.W DESIRABLE LA HO it ER S GOI.NG TO FARAWAY HAWAII. Inspected to Stay There nnd Marry Native of the Sandwich Islands Crop Conditions. Correspondence of the Associated Press. PONCE. P. R., March 2. Another expedition of Hawaiian-bound emigrants sailed for New Orleans on the steamer California, Captain Dyer, from Guanica, yesterday. There were SSO in the party. The expedition was composed of the finest-appearing lot of people yet to leave for Hawaii. Nearly all the travelers comprised entire families. The number of persons to a family averaged about six, and there was one family of eleven persons. Of the 2,700 Porto Ricans who have gone to Hawaii over 63 per cent, have been women. The parly which left on the California were fair specimens of Porto Rico's labor class, and were a? sturdy as the general run of Porto Ricans. Before the first boatload of emigrants was sent out to the ship about 1.20") people congregated on the beach, and two priests celebrated mass in the open air. Two weddings and two christenings were also performed. While on their way to New Orleans the emigrants, most of whom were in rags when embarking, wiil be cheaply but substantially clothed at the expense of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, and the entire party will be vaccinated. Rations of codfish, beef, potatoes, rice, beans, bread and coffee are served twice daily. The only reasonable objection advanced so far to their emigration from Porto Rico is that the island's best laborers are leaving. The recruiting agents have orders to enlist no Spaniards, and no pure black people are taken, the idea being, presumably, to have the men marry Hawaiian women and thus lose their identity with Porto Rico. In all events, after being transported so far, it is not likely that they will ever return. It is considered that Porto Rico Is overpopulated, and the sooner this population is thinned down the better off Porto Rico will be. The numbers of Porto Ricans who have lately so willingly emigrated to Hawaii, there to Eeek a livelihood under unknown conditions, is regarded as conclusive proof that want and even starvation do exist here. The agents who have been endeavoring to secure laborers to work on McDonald's railroad in Ecuador are having but little success. They say they can employ 3,001) men. Judging from the reports of the treatment of Jamaican laborers there, Ecuador is not a desirable country for emigrants, and the Jamaican government has prohibited further emigration. It is expected that the Ecuador agents will send a small shipload of emigrants to Ecuador sor-e time in April. It has been suggested that the authorities might examine and report on conditions existing in Ecuador, and especially among the laborers on the Guay-aquil-Quito railroad, before allowing Porto Ricans to emigrate thither. , Over 350 men are now being embarked on the steamer Porto Rico for the Iron mines near Santiago, Cuba. These laborers are contracted to work for three months at a $1 a day. Indications In this part of the island point to an exceedingly large coffee and sugar crop. The De Ford estate, near Guayamas, probably the largest on the island, will grind its first crop this year, and if this comes up to expectations they will ship nearly $1,000.000 worth of sugar this spring. A native planter near Guanica will soon Fhip $10,000 worth of sugar and other planters have good crops in view. Agriculturally Porto Rico has almost entirely recovered from the effects of the cyclone of nearly two years ago. The fruit outlook is good, but owing to the time required for maturing fruits will produce no returns for two or three years. A year ago there was hardly an acre of fruit under cultivation in Porto Rico. Several Florldans came here and settled and are now waiting for their fruit trees to blossom. In fruit production questions of transportation must be carefully considered, and fruit property must be near a port or on one of the short railroads. Good fruit land is worth from ti to $70 an acre, according to the location. The shippers of New Orleans find Porto Rico a good market for rice. The Ca!Ifornian. which arrived here last week from New Orleans, brought 5,000 packages cf rice, which were disposed of very readily. Rice, and codfish from Nova Scotia, brought here in schooners, is the chief diet of the Porto Rican. There are about fifty crises of smal'pox In Ponce. The disease is of such a mild form that there have been but few deaths, and the health officers report no cause for alarm, as the epidemic is well under control. FLAT REFUSAL. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) naked to the attack of the meanest foe. Therefore the powers were urged to content themselves with simple dismantlement cf the flirts, leaving them In a condition to be again mounted with guns in a reasonable lime. It is believed her that this project has been accepted, for It appears from the language of the nres dispatches that the only fort ordered to be destroyed is one on a point in the Pel river,- which is to be removed simply because it forms an obstacle to navigation. German Soldiers Iloiiienick. BERLIN, April 3. All letters received nowadays from China tell of the homesickness of the German troops. The correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt says: "The whole German contingent is thoicughiy disappointed and tired of China." Published letters from officers tell the same tale. The minister of war finds it very difficult to obtain volunteers to replace the home-bound soldiers in China. On Monday not one volunteer here responded at the meeting of reservists. A correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung mentions a number of cases where missionaries by the wholesale blackmailed the Chinese. He asserts that "Mr. Edmonds, an American missionary, was arlested in Feking by the French, but subtequently released on the demand of American authorities." Deaths in Chinu. WASHINGTON, April C.-The War Department has received a cablegram from General Chaffee, at Peking.

Count Okuma (formerly premier and now a leader of the opposition) declares, in the course of an Incisive article, that Japan must assert herself or tho work of thirty years will be lost. Korea, he says, is not a Russian chattel and Russia's action is a direct challenge to Japan." The Colombian ltevolntion. KINGSTON, Jamaica. April 3. According to advices received here to-day from Colon, Colombia, the rebels continue to hold strong positions in the neighborhood ol the City of Panama. The attempts ot the government trojs to drive them out

FOR THE SOUTH TO SOLVE. Views of Alabama' Governor on the .fKro Problem. MONTGOMERY, Ala.. April 3.-In answer to communications from students of the Agricultural College of Michigan. Governor Samford, of Alabama, wrote as follows as to federal control of elections: "In my judgment federal control of elections would not aid the negro in the exercise of his rights as a citizen, but. on the contrary, would seriously retard his progress. The negro problem is one that should be left to the people of the South, with whom the negro comes in daily contact in the relations of life. The conditions are such as cannot be properly understood by those, who are hundreds of miles away, and. however sincere- they may be in their motives, cannot possibly do justice to the situation. The white people of the South are just with the negroes and treat them humanely and considerately; agree with them in the distribution of the school funds and are liberal with them in all business transactions. The negro pays 3 per cent, of the taxes of Alabama and receives 47 per cent, of the public school fund." PRINCE HENRY TOO COLD WILHULMIXA'S HISBAD DOES :OT PLEASE THE DUTCH. Hollanders Are Said to Fear tnhnppinesa for Their Queen No Heir Would .Mean a Republic. Letter from The Hague. Holland is disappointed in Henry, the prince consort. He is cold, and the simplehearted Dutch people are beginning to believe that he docs not return the affection of their idolized Queen. After having watched Wilhelmina's husband ever since he first came to Holland to show himself to his wife's people, after having made every effort to find him congenial, it must be admitted that his. attitude is not prepossessing. To be loved as he is by a young girl whose goodness of heart Is extraordinary, to be the object of her enthusiasm, to know that she loves you and that she does not hesitate to show it to all the world, might bring to the countenance of the most indifferent man some expression of gratitude, of satisfaction, of pleasure, of happiness. But with him nothing of the kind. At The Hague his face remained as solemn, as cold, as austere as those of his ancestral portraits. The eyes of all Europe are fixed upon him, for the girl Queen of Holland has excited the interest of the world since her inauguration in 1S33, and now that Queen Victoria Is no more, Wilhelmina occupies a unique position among the sovereigns of Europe. ut she is to be pitied if her husband is not as she has dreamed him to be, for if he ever has the misfortune to offend or wound the Dutch people his life In Holland will be unbearable. The Dutch do not readily pardon any offense to their national pride. Yet the future may show Prince Henry to be a man to win the hearts of his adopted people, and as the royal pair stroll arm in arm, like boy and girl lovers, through the park at Loo, her face turned up to his with a wealth of love in her girlish eyes, it seems that no man could fail in his duty toward such a wife or toward her people, when guided by such an affection. Every Dutchman agrees that his Queen will be an Jdeal wife, and this is the reason they look upon Prince Henry with rather a doubtful eye. There seems to be a belief that between the Queen and a Dutch republic there is but the hope of an heir to the throne of Orange. If Queen Wilhelmina were to die without an heir, the Dutch monarchy would not stand. So not only is the dynasty at atake, but also the form of government. And yet. though the Dutch patriots pray with fervor for the happy event, they would gladly, have renounced1 the hope had they thought Prince Henry unworthy of their Queen. "Will he be a good husband? Will he be worthy of the child we have confided to him?" are the questions asked by all; for the Queen, whom they have learned to worship since she was an infant in her mother's arms, is the Idol of her people. Many correspondents, in the enthusiasm of the moment, described Wilhelmina at her marriage as an ideal beauty. Tills she is not. She is gentle, sweet, attractive; she charms one by the freshness of her youth, by the variety of expressions that pass over her countenance. She is pretty and if she were not a Queen and one were to meet her in the everyday walks of life one would look twice to admire the goodness and naivete that beam from her tright blue eyes. She is no classical beauty, whose expression freezes ami touches not a single chord of sympathy. Wilhelmina is Dutch Dutch from head to foot; Dutch in her manner, Dutch In her appearance, and she is proud of it. Were she to become to-morrow the simplest of wives of the humblest of husbands, she would be a model housewife. But besides this great quality she Is an artist, and her professor of painting has often said if she would send her works to an exhibition under an assumed name she would surely win great praise. Only a short time ago she visited an exhibition of paintings at the Pulchri studio at The Hague, and there a young but renowned artist was presented to her. She failed to recall his name, a fact that rather upset him. The Queen noticed his disappointment and quickly said: "O it is only because you have never asked to 1.k allowed to paint my portrait. I am very fond of pastels. Come some day and i will sit for you." Think of the artist's joy. GHOST OF THE CAGE. Explanation of Otherwise I nexpllen hie Elevator Accidents. Memphis Scimetar. A Scimitar man ran across a party of Memphis men in the office of the Arlington, and they were talking about elevator accidents. In the party was Engineer Ed Cheatham, of the city engineer's corps, who said: "Every year there are hundreds of elevator accidents, and very few of them are from the breaking of cables or brakes. The majority of the cases on record can be traced to this one fact: The victim stepped into the shaft. Now, why on earth would a sane man do such a thing? Why, he simply thought he saw the elevator car in its accustomed place, and when he stepped on what he thought was solid floor he wont to his death. The first of these remarkable elevator accidents that was ever noticed came to light in the mining regions of Colorado. Years ago I was out in that section of the country engineering for different companies, and. in regard to these accidents I speak from what I actually saw. The first accident of this kind I ever heard of was In one of the deep silver mines of Leadville, Col. "One of the oldest men in the employ of the company, a man who had been following mining for half his life, and knew this mine as well as he know the streets of Leadville, ran a car of ore over the edge of the shaft on the third level, and was dragged down to the bottom with it. He was mortally Injured, but before he died he told the doctor that he saw the 'cage at the shaft. "Since that time there have been any number of accidents of a like nature in the mines out West. Sometimes the victims were all killed at once, but those who survived always swore that they saw the cage. I have talked to old miners, and they say they dread nothing more than the 'ghost of the cage.' They sav that it comes to men who have worked ail their lives in the mines. In fact. th longer a man has worked in a deep mine the more apt he is to see the 'ghost of the cake. "So. taking it altogether. I firmly believe that those who lose their lives by stepping into open elevator shafts really see the elevator car. It is one of the most fatal optical illusions In the world, but such it must be. The victim has become accustomed to seeing the cage at the shaft when he needs it, and the picture of it Is fixed on his brain. When the fatal step Is taken that sends him to death he really sees It the ghost of the cage."

Kansas City Star. Although not an avowed candidate? for the lienor it was rather expected by the people that the popular hero. General Funston, would be made a brigadier gen eral in the new regular establishment. When the list was announced, includlnir General Grant and General Wood, but not Funston, it 1 reasonable to believe that the invincible Kansan felt some disappointment. Hut he had nothing- to say. There was nothing remarkable about it. up to this point, because General Funston ha proved himself a soldier In the finest sen.-e of the term, the soldier who scorns to complain, and It would have been surprising if he had shown any feeling. Hut it is only human nature for men to sulk and draw into their shells when they teel a lack of appreciation. In the expressive parlance of the day, it Is usual and! natural that men become "sore," which la a mental condition generally resulting im a cessation of interest in the work at hand. "All right, if they don't want me, the thin can take care of Itself," expresses th feeling of the disappointed man in war, politics and private enterprises. But not so with Funston. He did not throw his sword into the corner, but wert forth and performed one of the most brilliant exploits on the shining annals of two wars. The example of Funston would give fresli courage and hope to thousands of men who have been In the thick of the battle of life, but, feeling themselves unappreciated, have thrown down their swords and f4uit. If they will grit their teeth like Funston and plunge in again they will yet win the star of success. With n Woman In Command. San Francisco Call. The new schooner W. J. Patterson arrived from Grays harbor Friday evening, with the wife of the captain In charge. When the schooner was three days out from Grays harbor Captain Weitkunat was taktn dangerously ill and had to take to his bed. The lirst and second mates were not good navigators, but Mrs. Weitkunat had studied with her husband and can take an observation with the best seaman afloat. She took command of the big schooner, and between attending on her ick husband and navigating the ship she had a lively time. Poetical Free-for-AlI. Hartford CouranL Probably from half a dozen to a score of poems on the recent afflictive event nt Palanan are already in the works. Which of the tyranny-hating bards will get ids poem into print lirst? Mr. Garrison ought to lead off by rishts, but it's an open-to-all affair and the writing of lugubrious ver.c is us easy to the "Springfield Republican'" minor poets as eating pie. tsca ml Experience has shown to physicians that the majority of diseases nave their origin in the derangement or disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. The stomach is the receptacle in which food is received and the laboratory in which it is prepared to nourish the different parts of the body. It prepares brain nourishment in one way, nerve nourishment in another, muscle nourishment in another. When the stomach is "out of order" these various forms of nourishment are only partly or imperfectly prepared, and nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case may be, is only partly fed, and the result is pain, which is Nature's protest and warning. The pain may be in the head or in the heart, but you must reach it through the stomach or you can't cure it. That is the philosophy on which Ir. IMerce's Golden Medical Discovery is prepared. It has absolute control of the stomach and digestive and nutritive system. It cures diseases in bead, heart, liver, lungs and other organs by curing the diseased condition of the stomach which prevents the proper nourishment of the various organs and corrupts thctn by its own diseased condition, in the partial nourishment it provides. In like manner "Golden Medical Discovery purifies the blood, by purifying the stomach and other blood -nuking organs. It contains no alcohol, or other intoxicant, and no narcotic.
