He declares himself to be a leader still. Tammany will likely have something i say cbout th matter, however. Major General Henry C. Corbin. adjutant general of the army, and Miss Edythe Agnes Patten were married at Washington yesterday by his eminence,' Cardinal Gibbons. President and Mrs. Roosevelt attendee!. Li Hung Chang i9 dead. He was a faithful servant to the Chinese empire. He has been a great influence for good. Although his methods were often qestioned, he struggled honestly to force Chioa to adopt measures that would place her in line with the enlightened powers of the earth. His idea was to make her share the burdens as well as enjoy the benefits of modern progress. His death places China in a bad way. The climax in the Schley court of inquiry came yesterday when Mr. Raycer, chief counsel for Admiral Schley, concluded a three hours' argument with a peroration so impassioned and eloquent that all present were profoundly touched. He pictured the victorious sailor suffering as few have suffered for three long years while the fires of persecution leaped around him and now awaiting t! e hour of his vindication in the ccor,. ';And when it comes," he concl ided, "he can, from the high and exalted position that he occupies "oo'i down upon his traducers and inaligners, and w!th excellent pride exclaim: 'I care not for the venomo is gos&ip of clubs, drawing-rooms and cliqu -s, and the poisoned shafts of envy and of malice. I await under the guidance of divine providence the verdict of posterity. " Inspealiug of the defeat of Tancmany and tbe election of the Quay ticket :n Philadelphia the Indianapolis Sentinel whines lachrymosely over the situation as follows: It would thus appear that the premium on rascality in the Republican party is as great as the discount on it in the Democratic party. The Republican rank and file will vote for a known scoundrel on their party ticket, while thousands of Democrats 'scratch" an aggressively honest and exceptionally capable man on their ticket because they believe that by so doing tbey can best rebuke certain Democratic bosses for misconduct. Yes, the Democratic party deserves credit for turting Tammany down in New York last Tuesday, but it was only done because the organization had become so corrupt that its own members could not stand the fumes any longer and suht relief in that reliable dii-iufectat.t the Republican party. This den of vice has been iu existence f -r over thirty years and the Sentinel is only now finding out that it is a corrupt organization. "Same yp:rs ao while at Martinsbur':, Y. Ya , I was taken with choljra morbus, which vas followed by diarrhoea. The dof tor's medicine did me co good. I was advised to get a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I did, and it cured me sound and well." G. A. Morris, Embreeville. Pa. Sol i by A. G.

; T AMUSEMENTS. ; U L4ST SKiilT. The last annpranrA of thft Firon-
- - t , sons for this engagement at the Phil- ; lips last evTiig was the best per- j formaneeut this engagement; so good in fact that the managers ot tbe LU( Jin luiuumiatciy icuwcu .uc company for three nights and a mat inee in February or next year. 3ir. Swisher would have been glad to bring them back earlier, but they are booked solid until then and make a jump from Terre Haute to get here then. They are at Hamilton for the balance of the week and then go to Toledo and then Cleveland. The fact is, had this company charged higher prices, as they are worih-they would have done a better business. People did not know their worth, and while they had as good patronage as we usually give repertoire here, it was not what tbey will receive here at their next visit. Their representation of "The Lady of Lyons" , last night was as good in every way as we have seen here at any price. A standard play, so well giveD, was a real pleasure, too, after the deluge of modern dramas and comedies we have had this season. TONIGHT. With the advent of the vaudeville theater came a change in farce comedy productions, and the change has become so marked that the average farce is only a step beyond tbe operatic and extravaganza productions, which always delight the eye and ear as dazzling, costumes and beautiful scenery form an important factor in the up-to-date play, taking the places of inferior vaudeville turns, which in former years constituted the major part of these entertainments, Sherman and Deforest and company, who present "Old Dan Tucker" at the Phillips tonight, are among the leaders in this particular line of amusement, having surrounded themselves with artists who not only entertain with pleasing specialties, but also possess singing vo:ces capable of presenting in a highly satisfactory manner the numerous operatic novelties written especially for this company. SATURDAY .flOHT. Crowded houses have been the rule everywhere that "When We Were Twenty-One" has been presented, and when we remember the charming story of the .play, its masterly conception, the brilliancy of its dialogue, the admirable mingiingof sentiment and mirth, the enormous success it made at the Knickerbocker theater, New York, and the excellent company which has been organized to present this remarkable and clever play, the large receipts can readi ly be accounted for. A superb com pany will present this brilliant and powerful comedy drama at the Gen nett theater next Saturday. THE CONCERT. The concert of the Richmond or chestra and chorus is now attracting a great deal of attention and rightly so. We give a home talent concert in Richmond now that is tbe equal in every way of the concerts by the biggest organizations of professionals that ever come here. A great deal of this is due to Mr. and Mrs. Geinett, whose pains-taking work and self-sacriflce through their love for music and desire to see it brought to the highest possible plane has made it possible; without this it could to' have been done. The plan of the organization has bean a wise one, so arranged that the musicians who depend upon music for a livelihood are paid enough that they lose nothing by the time they put in; while tho.e who love music as a diversion are put to no expense, only 2ose their time, ar-tl this in such a way through the association with trained musicians and under proper direct. on that it :s gain to them instead of a ks. Ihus tbe organization has been made the largest as well as the best in the state a chorus of seventy voices, an orchestra of sixty-five, with the able direction of Prof. Butler, giving concerts such that people do not attend them because they feel it a duty, but because they are the best concerts we can possibly have In addition to the help Mr. and Mrs. Gennett have given, this is the fact not generally known, that the money for the purchase of instruments needed and not in use here was sup plied by them, and even the hall for keeping up tbe rehearsals when a conce-1 is not in preparation is suppi itd by them. By the way, the date for he concert has been changed again. Otis Skinner wrote here for a date which the concert covered, and the societv gave way "because they knew Richmond people desired to see Mr Skinner. Now comes a letter from Mr. Skinner saying that he can not be here; and so tbe concert will be given on the evening originally intended the 13th. CLASS BLOWERS COMING. Back man's Famous Glass Blowers, who will open their engagement in Richmond on next Tuesday evening at Colonial building come highly rec ommended, and this is without doubt the finest exhibition of its kind that has ever visited this city. One of the many features is a glass steam engine in operation. . All the beautiful ornaments they make are given away to their patrons. The admis-i sion is only ten cents and every visitor receives a present. About 230 good seats left for tbe j Popular Lecture Course, Plat at j Westcott pharmacy. 6-2

Charles Francis Adams In an a dilress before tbe American Antiquarian society at Springfield. Mass.. rvifvet the history of Lee's surrender and com pared the struggle of the south wist, tbe present war In South Africa. What he said was new and lnclutfed a hitherto unpublished chapter of American history. lie said in part: . ....' The present seems to me a sufficiently proper occasion, and, this a. good place, to call attention to a matter, not otherwise than germane to the purpose of this society. Historical In its character, it conveys a lesson of grave import. One of tbe most unhappy ami. to those concerned in it. disastrous wars of the century is that now In South Africa draggiug itself out to a conclusion apparently still remote and. iu every way, unsatisfactory. There is good reason to think that the conflict was unnecessary In its inception; that by judicious action it might long since have been brought to a close, and, finally, that it Is now continued simply because the parties to it cannot he brought together to discuss and arrive at a sensible basis of adjustment a basis upon which both are In reality ready to agree. Nevertheless, as the cable dispatches daily show, tbe eontest drags wearily along to tbe probable destruction of one of tbe combatants, to the great loss of the other and, so far as can be seen. In utter disregard of tbe best interests of both. My purpose, however, is to draw attention to the hairbreadth escape we ourselves had from a similar experience now thirty-flve years ago and to assigu to whom it belongs the credit of that escape. In one word, in the strong liybt of passing events I think it uow opiortune to set forth the debt of gratitude this reunited country of ours Union and Confederate, north and south owes to Robert E. Lee. The decision rested in the hands of one man the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. Fairly reliable and very graphic accouuts of what took place at tieueral Lee's headquarters in the early morning hours of that day have, either appeared In print or been told in conversation, and to two of these accounts I proiose to call attention. Apparently the second of the interviews described followed close on the first, not more than a couple of hours intervening between them. Of the first I find this account in a book roceutly published by John -Sargent Wise, entitled "The Eud of an Era." John Sargent Wise is the 8 u or Henry A. Wise, once prominent In our national politics. Governor of Virginia in tbe later fifties, he was subsequently a brigadier general In the Confederate service. Though in lSti5 but a youth of nineteen. John S. Wise was a hot -Confederate and had already been wouuded in battle. At the time now In question he chanced to have f been sent by Jefferson Davis, then on his way to Richmond, to Danville with dispatches to Lee, and, while seeking Lee's headquarters, he came In the early morning of April 9 across his father. Governor and General Wise, In bivouac with his brigade. The father was then nearly sixty years of age. but the son found him lying on the ground asleep among his men. A typical southern "tire eater" of the extreme type, Henry A. Wise was an out and out secessionist apd Confederate. Aroused by his son from his uneasy s!um!er. almost the first wish he exTressed was to see General Lee. and he inquired impetuously of his whereabouts. The two startpd to go to General Lee's headquarters. . "We found General Lee on a rear portico of the house he occupied." says Mr. Wise. "He had washed his face in a tin basin and stood drying his beard with a coarse towel as we approached. 'General Lee. exclaimed my father, 'my poor, brave men are lying on yonder bill more dead than alive. For more than a week they have been fighting day and n!ght without food, and, sir. tbey shall not move another step until somebody gives them something to eat.' "Come in. general, said Genera! Lee soothingly. .'They deserve something to eat and shall have ft, and meanwhile you shall share ray breakfast. He disarmed everything like de fiance by his frankness. "It was bnt a few moments, bow ever, before my father launched fortt In a fresh denunciation of the conduct of General Bash rod Johnson in the engagement of the 6th. I am satisfied that General Lee felt as he did. but assuming an air of mock severity, he said. GeneraL are you aware that you are liable to court martial and execn tion for insubordination and disrespect toward your commanding officer? My father looked at. him with lifted eyebrow and flashing eyes and exclaimed: Shot: You can't "aldrd to shoot the men who fight: for. cursing rhrtMtVho ran mv r .i-t. yon would shoot me. If y0n don't, some Tankee" probably will witbla the next, twenty-four honra. - . . "Growing more serioas General Lee inquired what he thoajht of the situs tion. 'Situationr said the bold old man There is no situation! Nothing remain. General Lee. but to petTyoar poor men oa-yonr poor mutes aod send C
