PRESIDENT cLKvELAND's LETTER.

President Cleveland's letter 10 the Chi
cago committee is a plain statement OF
financial facts. His warning that a de-
parture from sound money basis would
distress both wage-earner and capitalist
is worthy careful consideration. No argu
ment can he more delusiye that than ma
tional bimet allism would increase prices,
and il is this delusion that leads many to
advocate the free coinage craze.
Without European cooperation it would
be financial madness for this country TO
change 10 silver basis. We are just
recovering from the effects OF too much
tariff and financial agitation, and to again
put off a return of property by threaten
ing free silver is a Iunacy that can neither
be excused nor explained
Bimetallism by international agreement
would nehabilitate silver without overturn
ing prices There would be no disastrous
financial upheaval. and this country must
wait until that agreement can be had. The
only weak part OF President Cleyeland's
letter is in not fully explaining this point
Our cartoon to-day represents the little
German band Of presidential candidates ser
enading Uncle Sam. The discord made by
their several views on the financial ques-
tfon calls out a protest, and also the sug
gestion that more harmony could be had if
they would stop until Europe had come to
an agreement on bimetallism. There is
more truth than poetry in Uncle Sans
suggestion.

Quitea large proportion OF Fanny Dayen-
ports numerous clientele in Washington
was disappointed last night at the New
National Theater, where that favorite
was billed TO open the week in "Gismonda."
The disappointment was not even antici-
pated by Miss Davenport, who was notified
at her hotel Of the necessity for post
ponement just moment before she was TO
leave for the theater.
Gismonda cannot be played except with
the exceptional scenic effect put on by this
company. The eaccessoriesofSt staging require
three cars for transportation. Last night
il was found impossible to get the scenery
in position and preferably TO giving an
imperfect performance the manag emeut
determined to postpone the first production
until 10 night. Money for tickets sold
will be refunded or the tickets made good
for any performance.
Mauchester's French Folly Company be-
gan a weeks engagement at Kernan's
Lyceum ThCater last night This or
ganiZation is composed of well known
burlesque and speciality artists and has
several pretty girls. The olio is a strong
one, the most interesting part Of it being
the performances of troupe of twelve
royal japanese stars. Their Juggling
aud acrobatic feats are simply wonderful.
one of the Japs walked up rope from
the stage to the gallery and then slid
down To the stage backwards. japanese
girls also posed as living pictures. May
Adams scored a great hit by her splendid
singing aud sero-comic selections; Clark
and Vivian sang some very funny songs;
Lowry and Hanly were very clever in
their sayings. Fitzgerald and Kelly
scored hit as vocalists dancers and come
dians, while Vaer and Leslie earned con-
siderable applause 10y splendid singing.
The best play which has visited Buffers
Bijou Theater this season is the Gross
Roads OF Life,'' realistic melo drama by
Myron Leffingwell, which is on the boards
for this week. AS an extra attraction the
management has procured the services OF
Jack McAuliffe, the champion light weight
OF the world and Jack BolaD, well known
lightweight of this city, who spar four ex-
ceptionally friendly bouts.
The play abouuds in sensational climaXes,
which are well supported by a carefully Sc
lected company. Edmund Collier in the
character OF Dick Hawthorne, the hero,
does some strong work, while ]. r. Hutch

The Twentieth Century Minstrels are

coming age They are at the Academy OF
Music, where they were last night rendered
a royal reception by the lovers of the burnt
cork business and art. The company is
under the management of Frank Dumont,
and includes many of the old-time ia
vorites, as Carroll Johnson. George Thatcher,
Harry Leighton, George Powers, Charles
Thorp and Fred Coli Us. The performance
is plentifully interspersed with specialties.
Lille Larhelle made quite a hit in her sew
eral songs "Sharp and Flatt' are very
clever in their eccentric musical perform
ances. and the acrobatic feats OF the La

AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT

One of the most distinctively and almost
exclusively fashionable houses of the season
greeted Nine Rejane in Nine Sans Gene"
last night at Aliens Grand Opera House.
The assemblage was not only select, but
also very large, filling nearly AL the avail
able space iu the theater The legations were
well represented, Sir Julian Pauncefote and
family, Mr De Cana and MIS-. De Cana,
Marquis Impenali and party, Baron Ket-
the French legation, the Venezuelan min
ster and party, Secretary Carlisle and box
party, Secretary Gresham and Mrs. Gres-
ham and party, Senator Mitchell. OF Wis
consin, Senator Brice, and other distin-
guished residents.
There is only one comment to make on the
part OF Madame Sans Gene. Sardou made
the play and Madame Reiane made and is
the role. ltisoneof the emoStuniformly good
impersonations ever witnessed in this city
or perhaps any place else. Given the
Madame Sans Gene of Sardou's lines and
a glance at Madame Rejane, il is easy TO see
that II VIII take cOnSummate art 10 make the
illu sion perfect This Madame Rejane
does. There is perhaps no other way OF
expressing this impression than by the tr1te
saying that her art lies in coucealing the art.
Madame Reiane never for an instant lost
sight of the ideal she presents in the first
scenes Of the play. In word, Madame
Rejane is Madame Sans Gene, easily, grace
fully. simply and yet intensely artistically.
She is the French washeTwoman as played

Whether this sort OF thing will be
beneficial to the Republican party is
to be questioned. Mr.. Kohlsaat misses
his cure, however, II he imagines that

horse on the taIiff issue. We have
reached point in our carer when
the great majority Of Republicans and
business men generally, whether
Republicans or Democrats, will op-
pose any sweeping changes In the
tariff. The people desire a rest as far
as possible from this issue. They are
in favor OF a tariff for revenue first
and that tariff so adjusted as to pro-
tect American labor, not to give
capital an undue advantage. High
protection. and by high protection
we mean that sort Of a tariff which is
for protection first and revenue as an
incident, is played out in this country,

VALUED ENDORSEMENT.

ScHAGHTIcoKE, N. Y.--It is ignor-
anee rather than anything else
that makes life miserable, but ignor-
ance OF the value of DIR. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy does not
exist in Schaghticoke to-day, as a
blood medicine and nerve tonic it
stands supreme. One Of the princi-
pal reasons for it's popularity comes
from the great benefit our fellow
townsman, Andrew Sipperly derived
from its use. Mr.. Sipperly has suf-
fered for years past, with a
chronic kindey trouble, frequent
bilious attacks, and at intervals with
violent neuralgia in the head and
face. Up to last fall he rarely knew
a well day. At that time his wife
who had learned of the good DR..
kennedy's Favorite Remedy had ac-
complished, determined to have him
use 1t. In writing about his sickness,
Mr.. Sipperly said:
For several years / was subject to
attacks of kidney trouble and gravel,
which was attended with most excru-
ciating pain, but since l began the
use OF DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
AhOihC0y h1NO uttu uO StTfOuS CTOuD-

the officers of the Albany N. Y. Hos
pital recently said, in speaking of
Favorite Remedy: II know of its
great medical value, and to my
knowledge it cures the diseases for
which it is prepared"
The great value of DIR. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy lies in the
fact that it dissolves the excess of
uric acid in the blood. Such ailments
as rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
ness, and the sickness peculiar to
women all come from this one cause.
Favorite Remedy dissolves this acid,
thus curing the disease. In cases OF
scrofula, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease, it has cured where other treat
mentS have failed

That is the conclusion reached by
the Sandusky Register and no one
will dispute the fact that the Register
is one OF the most unswerving un-
compromising Republican journals in
this State. In alludlng to the recent
purchase of the Chicago Times
Herald and the Evening Post by Mr..
Kohlsaat, the Register deems 1t quite
unlikely that under the new order Of
affairs the paper will be able to con-
troll its former patronage. The disas-
ter also anticipates a lively war be-
tween the Tribune, the Inter Ocean
and the Times, Herald The Tribune

Row It Fee1s 10 NE HANGED.

There is question which quite fire.
quently arises, especially after legal ex-
ecution las taken place, which very few
living persons are in position to answer.
1t is this: "What are the sensations expe-
rienced during kangingS" Some few who
have lived through the trying ordeal have
given accounts of their feelings and sensa-
tions during such critical moments, and
from what they say it is not such a terri
Bile way to die as some have imagined.
All concur in saying that after one single
instant of pain, the chief sensation is that
of a mass Of brilliant, ever changing colors
before the eyes. Captain Montagnac, who
was hanged in France during the religious
wars, and who was resuscitated when life
was all but extinct, said that he lost all
sense of pain the moment the trap sprung.
The next sensation was that of brilliant,
many colored lights, and he is even said to
have upbraided his rescuers for taking him
away from sight, the beauties of which
| defied all attempts at description.
All accounts which the writer has ever
read warrant these conclusions: That the
suffering is but momentary; that a pleas
| urable feeling Immediately succeeds; that
colors of various hues start up before the
| eyes, and that when these have been gazed
upon for limited period Of time the rest
is total oblivion.-St. Louis Republic.
