The Theatre Tonight.

1t seems almost superfluous to do more
than call attention TO the fact that Mr.
and Mrs. George s Knight will appear at
the Theatre tonight in the well-known
popular musical comedy, Over the Gar
den Wall But TO show that the piece
has lost nothing of its old popularity, the
following extract from the Boston Globe
is quoted
lover the Garden Wall was the play
at the Globe last night. and after the very
successful run Of this piece here last sea-
son it is unnecessary to make any ex-
tensive criticisms of il for Boston read
ers. Suffice 1t to say that from the going
up of the curtain until the going down
OF the same, the audience was kept in one
continuous roar over the trials and tribu-
lations of the much-mixsd Snitz family,
their friends, and enemies. Mr.. and Mrs.
George s. knight were Of course the CEN
tral figures Of the evening, the former as
j. julius Snitz, the politician and hus.
band, and the latter as Nellie Wrangle,
and never did they appear to better ad-
vantage. All the cast have ample oppor'
tunity TO win the esteem of the audience
and all succeeded In this last evening"

The will OF the late John NJ. Hall has
been offered for probate in the Chancery
Court.
This will was made by Mr.. Hall about
fen days before his death In it he gave
his real property, which is two houses in
Manchester and all his personal property
TO Miss Walker.
About three hours before Mr.. Hall died
he and Miss Walker were married. This
fact. as claimed by counsel, dissolved the
will under the statute law, and the prop
erty should go to the heirs-at-law, the
wife, of course, having her dover inter
ests.
The court decided as above, and retains
the papers for further action.

In the Meantime the IlluStrfous Patient
Il Slowly Dying-TracheOtomy Of No
Lasting neft-Congressionsl- Massa-
cbusetts Labor Statistics.
LONDON, February 16--The disagree
ments existing between the physicians
attending the Crown Prince Frederick
William relative to the nature OF his
malady and the character OF the treat
ment Il should receive are particularly
unfortunate, in view of the patent fact,
despite the preponderance Of favorable
reports issued from San Reno that the
heir to the throne OF Germany Is rapidly
approaching his end, whatever his disease
may be. From the time that the Crown
Princes ailment assumed serious aspect
until the present moment there has never
existed any doubt In the minds Of two
thirds of the thinking people of Germany
that the eldest son and heir of the venera
able Kaiser was afflicted with cancer, and
probably had DR.. Mackenzie not been
instrusted with the conduct of the case
there would never have been any public
discussion of the question affecting the
character of the disease from which he
suffered.
From jealousy of the English specialist
on the part of the German doctors sprang
feeling OF distrust of each other until
the German physicians became almost as
hopelessly divided in opinion-expressed
il not really entcrtained-a3 they were
as a body against their English rival.
The variety of reports purpOrting to
state the condition Of the patient which
were sent ont from time to lime served 10
mystfy the public and keep them as en-
tirely in the dark as TO the Crown Princes
actual condition and chances Of recovery
as his physicians were with regard TO the
nature Of the disease and the treatment ii
required.
Meanwhile the patient has been stead
lily sinking, but the unfortunate, and, in
the circumstances, almost criminal, jeal-
ousies of the leading doctors, which men
Of their eminence should be above, have
increased, until the discussion of alb
struse medical questions for the pur-
pose of belittling the reputation OF one
doctor TO the aggrandizement OF another
seems with them paramount TO the mat.
ter of alleviating the suffering OF the pa
tient and saving his life.
II the most recent reports of the con-
dition OF the Crown Prince NAV be relied
upon, and, since they are unfaVorable,
there Is no ground for doubt Of their cor
rectness, the operation OF tracheotOmy,
though successfully performed, has re-
suited in no lasting benefit to the patient,
yet the controversy between the re.
spective adherents 10 the perichondritis
and cancer theories shows no signs OF
abatement.
Disputes of this kind, even though con-
Quoted in the rancorous spirit which pro-
fessional jealousy foments by jealousy,
and perhaps, instructive to the partci'
pants, but the question whether the pa
tient Is afflicted with one species of gen.
eric disease or another is of much less in
terest to the public, whose anxiety for
the patients recovery IS sincere, than Is
the painful though perfectly plain fact
that the Crown Prince is suffering from
an incurablc malady, and slowly but GER
tainly dying

THE SUPPOSED DIAMOND THIEVES.
A Pinkerton Detective Wants One OF
Them.


Wednesday evening, Mr. Robert Pin
kerton, Jr., of Pinkerton's detective
agency, came to Richmond from New
York with a requistion from the Cover
nor Of Connecticut for Murray, one OF
the diamond thieves, who were arrested
i'm this city by on: vigilant police officers.
These parties had been sent TO Norfoik
to stand trial for the burglary OF Chap
man & Gates jewelry store, and after
trial before the examining court
were remanded to Jail to await further
developments, there being no proof
against them that they were connected
with the robbery.
Mr.. Pinkerton remained in the city
quietly all night and yesterday morning
the proper papers were obtained from
the Governor and Secretary OF the Com
monwealth, and he left on the early
train for Norfolk to take Murray back
with him.
Murray is charged with having com
mitted burglary in the State of Con-
necticut, and Mr.. Pinkerton said that the
proof against him was certain and true.
The Norfolk authorities would gladly
surrender him up to the New York
officer because in Norfolk there is no way
Of proving that Murray was one OF the
diamond thieves, but in Connecticut there
is positive proof against him.
