Entertainments.
HYPERION,

Hoyt's "A Milk White Flag was pre- scented by an excellent company to a large and enthusiastic audience at the Hyperion last evening. The first scene is that of the private quarters of the officers of the Ransome Guards. In the first act some excellent specialties were introduced The selections swell Girl' and Warriors Bold" were sung by an excellent chorus. "The Sweetest Story Ever Told' was sung by the Misses Campbell and Bifiin and Messrs. Wilson and Wentworth In a very acceptable manner. Lloyd Wilson's baritone solo, Southern Revel," was we'll sung.
 The baton swinging by William Kill patrick was a decided hit. In the sec ond act Miss Clarisee Agnew had very pretty song, accompanied by a dance, which captivated the audience. She had to respond to repeated encores. The band plays a very important part in this act, rendering some fine music. The last scene is that of the grand hall cf the armory and is an excellent piece Of work. The scenery is magnificent. Miss Agnew sings I'm Lady, Yes l am" in a very pleasing way with chorus. Frank Lawton ''The Private" whistled all the popular airs in a very excellent manner. For his encore he did a clap ping speciality, initiating a train of cars and several other limitations.
 The dances In the play were all ar ranged by Mr. Lawton and were of a very smooth character. The piece will be repeated tonight.
 One of the most important contribu- tions to the modern drama is James A, Herne's five act comedy, Shore Acres" which is announced for production at the Hyperion Friday night. The play is unconventional in structure and in this respect it will not enrich the tech nique of dramatic construction. The great strength of MT. Herne's work lies in its powerful character delineations, Such plays are almost wholly unknown in England, and it has been predicted that Mr. Herne's pastoral poem would create sensation in London. It is the authors intention to produce his play in the British Metropolis next season, talk ing over his entire American company, scenery, properties, etc. Sale of seats on sale Tuesday.
 Northern Lights" fresh from a, New York success, will be presented for one night, February l.

Snaniards Say They Win.

Madrid, Jan. 27.-A dispatch to the rebels have been repulsed while trying to burn the town of Sabanilla. Seven teen insurgents were killed and many were wounded. General Luque the dis patch says, has twice defeated the reb- els under Antonio Maceo killed large number of insurgents and wounded 100 or more. Maiceo is retreating into the country, which is rough and hilly, and consequently, offers many difficulties to the movement of cavalry. Because of this he has abandoned 600 horses.

"E. PLURIBUS UNUM,"
MT. silas Baldwin of This City Makes the
 Discovery of One Of tho Rare Coins.


 According to the United States mint officials, the words "E Pluribus Unum," as they appear on our coins, are there without the sanction of law. The leg end first appeared upon copper coin "struck" at the Newburg (New Yorll) mint in the year 17S6, The United States were very young at that time and could not afford the luxury of a mint, so @ private individual by the name of Brasher opened the NeWburg coining establishment with the intenion of turn ing out money of the realm for all com- CTS. Exactly how the words "E Pluri- bus Unum" came to be used as a motto Is not known, but one thing is certain the Brasher copper coin bearing that legend and the date of 17S6 is the most valuable metal disk ever minted on this continent, being worth about $2,000, or twice as much as the famous rare dollar of 1894.
 Some time after coining his famous copper with the odd Latin motto, as above described, Brasher tried his hand on a large-sized gold piece, producing the coin known to the numismatists as "Brashers twenty" The Brasher twenty" was not S20 gold piece, how ever, for it lacked $4 of weighing enough; but of late years it has become very scarce and valuable, because of the fact that the legend inscribed upon it reads: "Unum F. Pluribus," instead of "E Plu- ribus Unum." This coin is now valued at $1,500.
 The above article was noticed in a New York paper by MT. Silas Baldwin of 104 Rosette street, a faithful and es- teemed employe of the Consolidated road, where he has been employed for several years. He, being collector of rare and old coins, bethought himself to look over his collection. Among the many in his possession are large num- Der left to him by his father, the late Henry Baldwin, a former well known New Havener and at the time of his Firemens association, and who was also a man who paid much attention to
 
 fathers collection, where it had remain ed for over forty years, the identical copper coin above mentioned was dis covered and is now sacredly guarded Iby his son Sllas. The many friends of Mir. Baldwin will learn with pleasure of his lucky find, especially as he is a young man who possesses the quality Of making and holding a friend and who through the past few years has had many reverses and misfortunes in the shape of sickness and death in his fam | fly, having lost his father, sister and a brother during the past few years. The coin referred to is in a perfect state of preservation, the date, etc, being plain | ly visible upon it's face. It is indeed a curiosity.

New Trial Ordered.

OF Milwaukee Judge Set Aside and =
New Trial Ordered.
CHICAGO, May 9.-The United States
court of appeals, by decision rendered
yesterday, in the damage suit of Miss
Maria Cahill VS.. the St. Paul railroad
for loss of both feet in a crossing acct.
dent, reversed the decision of Judge
Seaman, of Milwaukee, which was
given for the company under remark
able circumstances.
The court instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict for the company be-
cause the woman was on a railroad
crossing and a trespasser. One after
another the jurors arose and refused
to return such verdict after hearing
the evidence.
The judge directed the jury to re-
tire, and when they returned it was
with a verdict of $4,000 damages for
Miss Cahill. The verdict was set aside
by the court and, under protest, the
jury entered one for the company, ex-
cept julius B. Clayton, who told the
court he would rather rot in jail''
than do so. To save the juror from
Jail the plaintiff allowed the verdict
for the company to stand and an APP
peal was taken. The court of appeals
gives Miss Cahill a new trial.

Dun.s COMMERCIAL REVIEW

Heavy Exports OF Gold Cause No Monetary
Disturbance In the Future
Reyi1es and Points to Better Things 70
Come, Although Neither tho Volume q
Business nor Prices Obtained are az EFes-
emit Satisfactory.
New York. May Or. G. DUN & Co.
In their weekly review OF trade thus
morning, say:
The export of s., $50, 900 gold this
week have produced no monetary dis
turbance, and this is at once proof OF
the soundness of financial conditions
and of the prevailing confidence in
better things to come. 1t does not
matter whether the gold is required
for Russia or anywhere else, it would
not go from this, rather than other
countries, if there were not balances
to meet.
Much of the hesitation at present is
due to temporarily reduced demand in
some industries and in iron and steel,
the power of the new com binations is
being generally tested by refusal of
orders, SO that production exceeds con-
sumption, but the low consumption
exceeds new buying. The general ir-
regularity of priceE and slack cases
of demand for finished products does
not prevent the marking up of prices
by combinations, but are largel " due
to doubt whether such prices as are
fixed can be maintained. Pig iron is
weaker at the east and also at Pitts
burgh; tin steady and lead slightly
lower, and American tin plate 80 cents
below foreign.
For textile manufactures, the situa.
ton is trying. Cotton mills have a
fairly active demand, though not equal
to their normal output, and for many
months have been accommodating goods,
hoping for better things, SO that some
are now stopping; although the de-
mand for good grades with higher
prices for cotton, has helped to a
small advance in prices. Print cloths
are an eighth higher, but some other
grades have declined, SO that the av-
crage of all quotations is slightly
lower.
Wooden manufacturers find prices of
wool sagging both here and abroad.
The decline with London reaches
about six per cent, while the average

delphia, was nearly one per cent.
lower May 1. and prices have been fur
Their reduced by concessions to clear
off stocks.
At the west traders are buying much
above the parity of seaboard prices,
| and many growers are refusing to sell,
believing that the upward squirt of last
year will be repeated. Sales for the

full consumption. Mems woolens
show no Improvement, but there is
more active buying in fannels, and

scANT HOPE FOR MILTON.

Little Can BIO Done for Him Under the
Terms Of Our Treaty with Spain.
WASHINGTON, May lot is under
stood that the friendly offices which the
state department is exerting in behalf
of Mr. Owen Milton, of Kansas, sem
fenced by court-martial to be shot in
Cuba, are limited to the complaint that
the decision was reached in sum-
mary manner, without giving any OPP
portunity for defense aud too hastily
to examine into all the circumstance
of the cases. The effort now being.
made at Madrid and Havana is there
fore to be in the line of securing de-
lay of execution for insufficient time to-
permit such an investigation of the
Competitor incident as is demanded in
the interests of humanity.
!. It is not thought that any attempt
will be made to secure civil trial for
Milton or any of his associates who
may be found to be bona fide Ameri-
cans, the treaty under which such
transfers of jurisdiction have been
hitherto made appearing to have no
bearing in the present instance. The
first article of the protocol between
the United States and Spain, signed
January IL, 1877, concerning judicial
procedure, provides as follows:
mo citizen of the United States re-
siding in Spain, her ad jacent islands or
her ultramariue possessions charged
with acts of sedition, treason or con-
spiracy against the institutions, the.
public security, the integrity of the.
territory or against the supreme gov
ernment, or any other crime whatso-
ever. shall be subjected to trial by any
exceptional tribunal, but exclusively
by the ordinary jurisdiction, except in
the case of being captured with arms
in hand"
Under this article many Americans.
resident in Cuba in the past year have
had their cases transferred to civil
courts through the Intervention Of
Consul-General Williams, but there
does not appear to be the slightest.
ground for claiming Milton to be
resident" of Cuba, and the article
cannot, therefore, be made to apply to ).
him.
The same protocol, however, which
was negotiated by Caleb Cushing, pro-
vides that those taken with arms in
hand, as excepted in the article
quoted, shall be tried by ordinary coun-
Gil of war, shall have counsel to de-
fend them and the right to compel the
attendance of witnesses. This also re-
lates only to residents.

Bodies Found Near Together.

OF Prominent Men In Cleveland. O.--Theia
Bodies Found Near Together.
CLEVELAND, O., May 9.--The body of
A. c. Hogan, for many years superin-
tendent of the canning department of
the Standard Oil Co. in this city and at
Whiting, Ind, was found in an unfre-
Quented part of Lakeview cemetery.
He had committed suicide by shooting
himself in the head. He was seen
xlive last when he entered the cemetery
Thursday morning. I1l-health, which
had caused him to retire from busi-
ness, is the supposed reason for the
suicide. He leaves six sons, most of
whom occupy positions of trust with
the Standard.
B. F. Whipple, one of the prominent
Odd Fellows of Cleveland, also COM
mitted suicide. His body was found
last night at Ambleside, but few
rods from where Hogan's was found,
by some children who were gathering
flowers. No reason is know n for his
act.
