Powers Is to be principal has been named "Tne Lady from the Orient." Mr. Powers and his company will go to London in the spring. He acted here last season in "The Messenger Boy," an English musical 'omedy whioh was a bit over the heads of the groundlings and was not so prosperous an enterprise as the numerous noisy and easily understood entertainments of the class. xxx Mrs. Carter and her company will present "Du Barry" In London, beginning June 1 of next year, and they may spend a month at the Sarah Bernhardt Theater in Paris. In that case Mrs. Carter will play Jeanne Du Barry in French and the other members of the company will speak English. Salvini, it is recalled, used the Italian language when he acted in this country, while the actors essoclated with him spoke English. Whn the sole object Is to trade on the personality of an actor It matters nothing, from the managerial viewpoint, how common sense, not to speak of artistic sense, is perverted.

The entertainment is of a rjuality unusual at the Park, and it is h-artily enjoyed by the patrons of that house. xxx The show ghen by the "Morning Glories" company at th? Empire is especially meritorious in the solo and chorus singing. An oh of audeville Is given between the two acts of the farce. xxx James F. Dolan gives a skillfully comic sketch of a clever thief in a playlet called Taking Chances" at the Grand Opera House this week. He has had a series of sketches of this nature.

The first performance of Richard Strauss's new opera, "Feuersnots" (Fire Famine was given here tonight at the Royal Opera House and with brilliant success. Herr Strauss conducted in person and received many recalls. The scene of the opera is laid in prehistoric times and is supposedly at Munich. The plot moves in an atmosphere of magic. The hero makes use of enchantment to extinguish all the lights of the city, and by this means wins the heroine; hence the opera s title. The instrumentation is strongly Wagnerian and the music Is often brilliant but it is too serious for the libretto, which ll by Herr Wolzogens. Duse la "Fraaceica Da Rlmlnl." BOSTON, Oct. 2S.

From "Confessions of a Society Woman," in Alnslee's. Of the two seasons, I much prefer the Newport to the New York season. In that delightful little city by the sea we lead far more wholesome lives than we can possibly lead in New York. In the first place, we are in the open air a large part of the time; then, too, no matter what the newspapers may say about our extravagance, we do simplify there a good deal. To me the most trying feature of the New York winter is the opera. I detest grand opera, and I hold Wagner in horror. And yet, twice a week, regularly, 1 sit in my box. often blame myself for submitting to this dreadful tyranny. The memory of those dreadful Wagnerian performances at the Metropolitan Opera House gives me a kind of weakness. The oftener I hear Wagner's operas, the more I loathe them. I wonder if anyone really likes them? I know, of course, plenty of women who pretend that they do, but then women are always pretending about something. I often marvel at those poor creatures who go to the opera house and stand at the back through a Wagner opera. And they don't have to do it because it is expected of them, either. I suppose they really must like it. Poor things! A Good Relish. Washington Star. Horseradish sauce is one of the beet relishes to serve with beef.

A clever Parisian woman, Madame de Boutrelle. ha- built up a unique business, which consists of photographing dresses . w .r r nut as forerunners of aHd Janon-s fashion. She has at her comI and a numbi? beautiful girls, most of

whom she has selected from small theaters

and music halls. All the dresmakers in Paris send models of their creations to Mme. de Boutrelles six months in advance of the season, and hats, boots, fans, and parasols to complete the picture are sent by the various manufacturers. Two pho tographers make a specialty of photo graphing the models in their borrowed splendor, and the pictures are sold to dress makers all over the world, con nanding from flO to 125. The girls get about $1.25 for a morning's work of posing in a dosen or more costumes. Seeret of Good Coffee. New York Evening 8un. "The whole secret of good coffee," said one who knows, yesterday, 'Is fresh roasting, fresh grinding and no boiling. With these precautions, a fragrant cup of coffee may be made from any kind. This city uses little Rio, which is strong and rank In flavor. It Is the sort preferred by the foreign laboring classes. Some persons prefer an admixture of chicory to give richer color and more body. An ounce to a pound of coffee Is the usual proportion. Mild Central American coffee mingled with Java and Mocha is the choice of fastidious persons of this city, if Java is fine, however, it needs no admixture to improve It. Mocha has a slightly acid flavor and Is somewhat heavy In body. It Is improved by the addition of a lighter and more deli cate kind." GEN. HEYWOOD'S REPORT WORK OF MARINES IN SAMAR AND ELSEWHERE IN PHILIPPINES. Mnjor Waller's Expedition The Fight In the Sohoton District Recommendationi of the Commandant. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Maj. Gen. Charles Hey wood, commandant of tho United States marine corps, in his annual j report to me secretary or tne navy, says it is his policy to keep the officers and men in his command in the Philippines only two years and a half, returning them after such service to this country. He hopes to reduce this term of service to two years, that being as long as it is advisable to keep them in that climate. During the past year, while there have been practically no demonstrations in the Philippines by organized Insurgents, the marines, says General Heywood, have done excellent work in ridding the islands of roving bands of ladrones. The report presents in detail the operations of Major Waller and his courageous band of marines on the coast of southern Samar. Major Waller Is quoted as saying that the expeditions early In last November In Sohoton district were the most Important of the campaign, so far as the effect on the insurgents was concerned. A graphic account is given of the operations of the main expedition in the Sohoton district. The attack was on the fortified cliffs and caves in the mountains, which had been reported to be practically impregnable. The plan of attack was that two shore columns were to unite at the enemy's stronghold and be joined there by a river column, under Major Waller. Concerning the result of the attack the report says: "On the 17th of November the shore col umn struck the enemy's trail, which was followed, and the detachments soon came upon a number of bamboo guns. One of these commanding the trail had the fuse burning, and acting Corporal Harry Glenn rushed forward and pulled out the fuse. The attack of the marines was a perfect Burpr'?, and the enemy was completely routed, thirty being killed. After driving the insurgents from their position the troops crossed the river, scaled the cliffs on the opposite side and destroyed the camps there. The enemy fired two volleys and then fled. Major Waller says that he himself was not In this attack, being In the river below and unable to reach the firing line in time, but he mentions Captains Porter and Bearss as being entitled to the highest credit for the courageous and skillful manner in which they routed the enemy in the face of apparently insurmountable obstacles. In order to reach the enemy's position the troops had to climb the cliffs, which rise sheer from the river to the height of about 200 feet, and they are honeycombed with caves, to which access is had by means of bamboo ladders and also by narrow ledges with bamboo handrails. Tons of rocks were suspended In cages, held in position by vines and in readiness to be precipitated upon people and boats below. Instant destruction would have undoubtedly been the fate of tho boats had they undertaken the ascent of the river before the shore column had dislodged the Insurgents. The effect of the capture of this last stronghold upon the insurrectos of Samar cannot be overestimated, as they had spent years of labor upon the defenses and undoubtedly considered the cliff fortifications impregnable." The report contains an account of the march of 10s miles across Samar of Major Waller and his men. and of the incredible hardships they endured. The command was engaged actively and continuously against the insurgents for three months. General Heywood strongly urges the enactment of the measure Introduced at the last session of Congress providing for an Increase In the officers and enlisted men of the marine corps. He recommends the erection at Philadelphia of a fireproof depot of supplies at a cost of $150.000. the present leased quarters being entirely Inadequate and unsafe. He says, too, that the present quarters at Washington are old and unsanitary and have been condemned by a board of medical officers of the navy. Preliminary steps have been taken to erect new barracks at Norfolk, Va., at a cost of $100,000. General Heywood renews his previous recommendations that Congress' appropriate liberally for marine barracks and quarters at the Charleston (S. C.) naval station. The report says that the native inhabitants in Guam are making gratifying progress in acquiring a knowledge of the English language. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

MUßE CAPTURED

COLOMBIA REBEL LEADER AND HIS MEN FORCED TO SURRENDER. Surrounded br a Government Ftorce and Compelled to Yield After a Severe Eniagemrnt. BOTH SIDES LOST HEAVILY GENERAL CASTILLO, ANOTHER REBEL OFFICER, ALSO A PRISONER. Interior Provinces of the Republic Now Believed to Be Pncifled I rile-l rlbe'a Career. PANAMA, Oct. 28.-The revolutionary General Urlbe-Uribe, with ten cannon, 2,500 rifles and 300,000 rounds of ammunition, has surrendered to General Majarres at Rio Fiio, near Santa Marts. The rebel forces, which were defeated Oct. 14 at La Cienaga, retreated to Rio Frio and took up positions there. General Majarres, with 2,000 men, proceeded against the rebels from La Cienaga and engaged the enemy two days ago. The government general succeeded In surrounding the rebels and forcing them to surrender. General Castillo was with General Urlbe-Uribe. The news of this victory was received here by General Perdomo and Governor Salazar this morning in a telegram from General Majarres. Details of the engagements are lacking, but heavy casualties on both sides are reported. The surrender of Urlbe-Uribe Is said to complete the pacification of the departments of Magdalena and Bolivar. The revolutionists now occupy the isthmus only. In the fight of Oct. 14 at La Cienaga the revolutionary force consisted of 1,300 men. COLON, Oct. 28. The government gunboat General Pinson arrived here this afternoon from Savanllla. She was especially sent from that port by the Governor of the department of Bolivar to bring to the Isthmus news of the defeat of the revolutionists under Urlbe-Uribe and Castillo at Rio Frio. Both these generals were made prisoners. There is much rejoicing in Colon and Panama over the success of General Majarres, and especially over the capture" of Urlbe-Uribe. IRIBE-IRIBE'S CAREER. Revolutionist Who Had the Snpport of Venesuela's President. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Confirmation of the news of the surrender of General Urlbe-Uribe was contained in a dispatch received at the Colombian legation here to-night from Panama. The legation officials declare that with the surrender of Urlbe-Uribe the life of the rebellion In the Interior of Colombia has received its death blow and that the complete pacification of that portion of the country must inevitably follow. He was, they say. the acknowledged leader of the movement against the government, and by his energy and perseverence in raising and equipping troops and securing assistance from the outside has kept the revolution going for some yours. General Uribe-Urlbe's movements have taken him In various portions of the interior of Colombia, his early operations being in the state of Jollma, later in the state of Santander and finally in the state of Magdalena. In the state of Santander, at the head of an army of over 10,000 men, he seriously menaced the capital, Bogota, until he was defeated by a superior government force on the 26th day of May, 1900, when the casualties numbered about 5.000 men in all. It has been repeatedly asserted by the officials here that General UrlbeUribe received substantial aid from the government of Venezuela, he having visited Caracas and had frequent interviews with President Castro. Last year he visited the United States, and for a time was in correspondence with the officials of the legation with a view of reaching honorable terms of capitulation, but the efforts in that direction were without substantial result and General Urlbe-Uribe returned to Colombia and again took up arms against the government. General Castillo, who surrendered with Uribe-Uribe, Is about fifty years of age, and previous to joining forces with UribeUrlbe was a guerrilla general who gave the government a great deal of trouble. THE STATE COMMITTEE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) banks will have a handsome backing on Joint ballot. That backing may run anywhere from twenty to forty, Is the belief, certainly not less than twenty, and most probably near the larger figure. The Republicans in the legislative districts have been so constantly impressed with the necessity of attending to business next Tuesday that there is little worry about the result. A suggestion was made at the meeting of the state committee that will probably bear good fruit. From now on speakers all over the State, while not neglecting the important issues, will make one of the most emphatic parts of their speech the necessity for getting out a full vote. OVER STREET AT CUMBERLAND. He la Given Cloae Attention hj an Interested Audience. One of Mr. Overstreet's best night meetings was held last night at Cumberland, where he talked to a crowd estimated at 500. He was introduced as a man that accomplishes things, and the happy wording of the introduction was pleasing to the crowd, which gave the representative a reception more than enthusiastic. Mr. Overstreet spoke for about an hour and a quarter, taking up the issues one by one and showing conclusively the weakness of Democratic arguments. "One can hardly find it possible to believe," said Mr. Overstreet among other things, "that only six years have gone by since we were in the midst of desperate days. It is difficult to realiae that so brief a space of time has elapsed since that period of industrial stagnation and commercial hopelessness. It is natural for us in this day of universal prosperity the greatest the country ever knew to stop and wonder what has brought about the amazing change in the condition of the people generally and in the business of the country. The climate is pretty much the same now as it was then; the crops are good, but hardly better than they were then, and we search in vain for the reason of the change until we come to the question of party policies. The change has been brought about because the Republican party has kept its pledges, because It has put into operation the two great principles of sound money and protection, opened the mills and stirred with new life the arteries of business. "I have made it my business to gather statistics and to learn all I could about the condition of Indianapolis factories six years ago and now. I have found that while then they were running half time with reduced forces, or not at all. that now they are running all the time with greatly augmented forces of employes. I have found also that most of them have made substantial increases In the wages of their employes. The reasonable man must arrive at the conclusion that the policies fixed into law by Congress are responsible for this condition of affairs in this and other cities. These policies are Republican, formed by the greatest statesmen of this or any age, and put into effect only after the most careful study of Industrial conditions and the demands of labor. There was no haphazard work about it. It was Republican common sense dealing with real conditions. This is part of the record of the party and we can point to it with pride. PROMISES FULFILLED. "In 1896 you gave us your votes because you had faith that we would keep our promises. You took us on faith. Now, six years later, when these promises nave been

STOVE DEPARTMENT Our new Stove Department opens with a new line of Steel Ranges, Coal and Wood Cook Stoves, Artificial Gas Ranges and Heaters, Air Tight Wood and Coal Stoves, and Oil Heaters. THE SUPERIORITY OF OUR. HOT BLAST IS SHOWN at a glance; the cold air controlled by a patent screw register is taken into the circular air chamber where it becomes heated, and is then discharged into the fire pot, through a number of slots molded into the same. These slots cover two-thirds of the depth of the fire pot, therefore the hot air reaches the fire not only at its center and hottest point, but as well on the line above and about up to the top of the fire bed. As a result of this improved method we secure perfect control of the fire, causing one ton of coal to do the work of two, consuming all smoke and soot, and holding fire from twenty-four to thirty-six hours.

fulfilled in the spirit and the letter, whn he can come betöre you with works and show you we have done something for the upbuilding of the country, how much greater ought your faith to be and with how much more eagerness ought you be willing to give us your votes." Mr. Overstreet took up the question of the trusts, which he has made the central point of many of his speeches in the countv. and discussed the topic with fearless frankness. "I agree with you," he said, "that a great problem is presented. There are some trusts that are bad; everybody concedes that. But they are not all bad, and the 'cure' tlu't is proposed by the Democratic party would tend to destroy good business combinations as well as those admittedly evil. When the time comes the Republican party will take up the problem of the trusts and will give it the same honest, careful, thorough, businesslike attention that it has given every problem that has been presented to it. You will have no reason to regret the result and you have no reason now to feel alarm. The evils of the trusts as depicted by some Democratic orators are largely in their imaginations. "But," Mr. Overstreet continued, "the issue of the trusts gives the Democrats a chance to bring in their old, wornout issue of free trade revamped and reshod. They are trying to convince you, as they tried years ago, that tree trade is the thing. Do you want any more free-trade day like those of 1896? No, I should judge not! Free trade Is a discredited issue, and the only reason they dare to drag it out is because of the bugaboo of trusts that they have seized upon. The trusts Is the peg upon which they hang the tattered free-trade coat for your Inspection. There is one discredited theory that they do not dare to bring to your attention again, and that is free silver. There is not one of them now that dares to come before the people advocating free silver and the 'God-given' ratio of 16 to L Judge them by their fruits." Mr. Overstreet alluded with some feeling to the scurrilous remarks made by Democratic orators and the calumnious articles of the Democratic press slandering our army Jn the Philippines. It was only another attempt, he said, to find an issue that had not been kicked out of the forum of common sense by the people. The meeting was extremely satisfactory in point of attendance and in enthusiasm, and at the conclusion of his able address Mr. Overstreet was cheered. OVER STREET'S NOON MEETINGS. He Has Been Well Received Wherever He Haa Appeared. Probably the most effective work that has been done by Representative Overstreet since his home-coming has been accomplished at his noon factory meetings. In the past ten days Mr. Overstreet' has spoken at about twenty of the biggest manufacturing institutions of the city and to a big crowd of employes at every place. His speeches have been devoid of pyrotechnics and he has devoted his remarks toward showing workingmen just how their condition has been improved within the past six years by the cardinal Republican policies of protection and sound money. One of Mr. Overstreet's effective arguments with the workingmen is to show how almost every factory has expanded and has been enlarged m the past six years and then to contrast the present condition with that In 18H6. A characteristic of the noon meetings is the careful attention paid to the remarks of the representative by Democratic employes of factories where he has talked. These men have always united in cheers for Mr. Overstreet at the close of meetings. At the Atlas engine works, at E. C. Atkins & Co.'s, at the Haugh-Noelke works and at other places where many Democrats listened to the talks, it Is believed that there were numerous Democratic votes gained. J. P. Dunn, the Democratic candidate, has followed Mr. Overstreet at almost every place he has spoken, and has talked at great length to the toilers on matters which concern them so closely as the Fowler banking bill. After Mr. Overstreet's rousing meetings Mr. Dunn's receptions were rather tame, and the Democratic ounty committee has come to the conclusion. It is stated, that it was a waste of time to try to reach laboring men with spoken editorials on limping Issues. Colored pellbladera Talked.

Burke and others. William Taylor was chairman of the meeting and W. K. Cotty furnished the music and made one of the speeches. Odda of 4 to 1. Democrats are letting Republican betting propositions go begging, and even the long odds of 4 to 1 that Overstreet will beat Dunn for Congress are passed by with no takers. Four to 1 on Overstreet is the most confident expression yet posted. In Harry Walker's place somebody has posted $400 to S1O0 that Overstreet will win. There are numerous propositions on Overstreet at 3 to 1 and 5 to 2, none of which has been taken. Odds of 2 to 1 are posted on the success of the Republican county ticket, with even money offered on Its success by handsome majorities. First Ward Repnblleans.
