william Richard GoodalI's Comedy 10 a
Great Success-Other Plays

William Richard Goodalps new comedy,
the Two ColOnels,' was repeated at the
Academy of Music Yesterday afternoon
and again last evening. Tho author Is
not at all apprehensive about the success
OF the play, and the successful run of two
weeks assures him that he is a playwright
of great ability. Mr.. G0odall proves to
be a man Of unusual imaginative power.
and as his power grows his present ideal
will soon be reached. The story of his
play is unfolded with the ease which only
such an actor as Mr.. Frank Morduant and
the actresses, MISS Edith Crane and Miss
Georgia Welles, posses. Simply, easily
and gracefully we are brought face TO
face with scenes which make US laugh and
shed tears alternately, and the transit
tons OF emotion, because of their sub
tlety, convince me that the comedy would
be failure in the hands OF actors OF
ordinary dramatic instinct.
Mr.. Morduant is well known to every
theatre patron. His impersonation of an
old Virginian gentleman and colonel in
the Confederate army is true TO nature
and typical
Miss Edith Crane possesses the versa
tilty expected OF an actress of her eX-
perience. Her stateliness of carriage, re-
pose of manner, and grasp OF character
make her an exquisite parsonage.
One of the most difficult roles TO as
sumo In a comedy is that OF a young lady
with life and agility. Miss Geors "a
Welles though inexperienced, Is an ac-
The snap and dash of this gaZelle-like
sprite are seldom seen. and the charming
individuality characteriZing her EFFORTS Is
most lovable. Miss Welles will receive
a warm reception when the play IS pro-
duced in New York two weeks hence.

THE SITUATION UNCHASGBD.
No Action Taken as Yet by the Field Ohcers
of The First Regiment.

Everything was very quiet at the Ar
r1Ory OF the First regiment last evening.
ONLY a few officers and enlisted men
were present Colonel Jones ana Major
Derbvshire dropped i'm only for a nttle
while, while Lieutenant Colonel fhllupS
remained away altogether, -,
Neither of the three field oflcefs ndu

of the six company commandants, NO
a few DAYS ago signed petition le-
0uestjng the field officers TO resign:
While some of the company oinCe.S
believe that this request VIII be heedeu'
others are of the opinion that IL reslBHa-
tions are to follow, they VIII not De
handed IN until after the electlou OIL u
1rigadier-general. The field oificers OF
The First REGIMENT have been warm
supporters of Colonel Male for the posi-
lion. whom they consider TO be entitled
TO the position for the reason that ne Is
the senior officer. It Is, therefore, thought
that under no circumstances Colohel
Jones and his two comrades desire TO
teopardize Colonel Males election by
their own designations.
Since the petition of the. four captains
has been forwarded TO the three neld
officers they have not yet met. but II Is
probable that within a few days they
will hold a conference in order to come
to some understanding regarding con-
Certed action.
1t is limited that IN case Of Colonel
Jones resignation the command or the
regiment will be offered TO Lieutenant
Colonel Phillips,
on next Tuesday evening athletic sports
will be held in the large drill hall Oh the
armOry.

MOUTH BRHATHEBs.

People of this class are more Liable to
colds, pneumonia, etc, than those who
breathe through the nose, as this organ
is especially adapted by reason OF its
structure.
The necessity Of breathing through the
mouth is really a misfortune, indicating
some obstruction in the nose. and people
afflicted should by all means seek it's re-
moval as matter of prevention. Besides
being hygienic, such course would be
cosmetic; the open mouth marring the
most beautiful countenance. Have you
ever noticed that an idiot appears more
senseless when his mouth is open than
when closed. He nearly always has II
open, and hence his expression.
Referring TO those who snore, an emil
nent authority observes: MANY who are
innocent during their waking hours, are
determined sinners against good taste
and good health by dehantly opening
the mouth in sleep. 1t is more than an
annoyance to be a snorer, it is "A serious
misfortune" SANlTAS.

the skirmishing. but should she be
wounded or killed it is a pure accident,
IS the Samoans have the greatest horror
Of hurting a woman in any way, and
would not even injure their enemy's

ing tho war which was carried on in
Upolu for a considerable time, five or
six years ago, two armies had met and
were drawn up, blazing into each 9th
er's lines, when a native woman ap-
peared with n GOV she wished to place

diately suspended on both sides till she
and her charge had crossed the lines
and were completely out Of harms way.
The women could rely SO thoroughly
on the ~gallantry of their countrymen
that they had no fear during the fight
ing, and would take food to their hus-
bands and brothers at any time, and pass
through the ranks of the warriors of the
belligerent army with perfect impunity

could be easily seen they We're quite
