"Samr of POsen" Next saturdsy-"OId
Lavender" Tuesday, March II.
"Saml of Posen," which MIR. Curtis
has chosen az the medium of his new
entrance on the stage, is a departure
from tho original comedy of that name
In several particulars. Much new 10 at
ter has been supplied with view to
bringing the Dialogue up.to.date. He
will appear at the Academy of Music on
next Saturday night. The New York
Morning Advertiser, Sfeaking of his re-
cent appearance at the Standard
Theatre. in New York City. says:
"Mr. NJ B. Curtis should be more
than pleased with the rec option which
was accorded him last night at the
Standard. It WAS the first time in three
years that he has appeared in New
York, end his fret appearance in ten
years in Samuel OF Poson.' The
drummer, whom the public knew so
we'll decade ago, is also "up-to-d ate"
In every particular and the later
Samuel Plassrick has not learned many
tricks which the original did not kno ".
Then tho drumer WAS the most innc-
cent man on the road in Plckwickian
sense, and we find him the same to-
day. all the good things arc retained
and new ones added until 1t Ia a much
more finished and artistic production
than when Mr.. Curtis FIRST achieved
fame and fortune in It, Mr.. Curtis
shows no signs OF wear and tear and is
the same jolly, good natured 'Ssmu
Posen' as OF old. He never, perhaps,
plesaed an audience more than he did
last niRhs. The house WAS packed to
the doors and.the enthusiasm was un-
bounded. Mr.. Curtis was compelled TO
amman hafnra thQ n rfoin 49, q
each act. He WAS q little nervous at
first but this soon wore off and the
ASSURANCE of 'Samr Posen' was ever
present. The audience las. night ex-
tended more than warm welcome to
an old favorite and the play is given q
splendid start for long run"
sold Lavender"
This amusing and popular play will
appear at the Academy OF Music Tues
day. March H.. An exchange has the
Following complimentary notice Of Mr.
Hnrrigan:
"The play of 'Old Lavender has al.
| ways been considered one Of the best OF
Mr.. Harrigan's productions, and his
portrayal of the old drunkard, with its
humorous and pathetic touches, is
doubtless one OF his most successful
achievements as an actor. The piece,
moreover. is IN g sense appropriate to
the Christmas season, end its revival at
this time ID likely - prove fortunate.
| At all events, IL was received with great
| favor by crowded audience last night,
and MIR. Harrigan WAS xpplauded loudly
| and frequently. Since is was last seen
here the piece has bsen condensed,
modified and briqh.eped and the result
OF She treasmens Is altogether nstis-
factory. Now. as before, the river from,
scenes are the m4ss life.like and inter
esting."

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE North
Anne lean Commercial company, by N. l..
Jeffries, it's attorney here, has protested to
the secretary of the treasury against the
destruction of Alaskan fur seals by the
United States, as is proposed by the Ding.
ley bill, or in any other manner whatso-
ever. The protest submits that the COM
pany is the lessee of the right to take fur
seals on the islands of St. Paul and st.
George-under the terms and stipulat!ons
of its contract with the government has
the exclusive right to engage in the busi-
ness of taking fur seals for their skins on
said islands for twenty years from May,
1890, which contract is subsisting and re-
mains in full force and effect.
The committee on territories OF the
house today voted to report favorably to
the house the bill introduced by Mr.. Scran-
ton of Pennsylvania for delegate from
Alaska. Under the bill the delegate is to
hold his seat in congress- on the same terms
as the delegates from other territories. A
vieol GUS opposition to the h'li was made by
Mr.. Perkins of Iowa. He held that all the
Information secured by the committee
from Alaskan officials and agents of the
treasury showed existing conditions in
Alaska did not want territorial form of
government, and that statehood was not
to be thought of for many years, if ever.
The danger which the bill might bring, he
said, was that the delegate would be
named by the great commercial companies
of Alaska and be a repre- sentative of the
interests of those companies rather than

There Is No Need Of Missionaries for Dead

LONDON, March PA letter is pub

the intended massacre, the bishops wrote
the Sultan this farewell letter, protesting
that the sultan had been misled in suppos-
ing the Armenians were rebels and COM
planning that Europe was calmly looking
on at the bloody work.
A portion of the letter is addressed to
Christians in America and says:
1--WE have been strenuously opposed to
your mission work among us, but these
bloody days have proved that some of our
Protestant brethren have been staupch de-
tenders of cur honor and faith. You, at
least. know that our crime in the eyes of
the Turk has been that we adopted the
civilization that you commended. Behold
the missions and schools which you planted
among us and which cost millions Of dol
lars, and hundreds of precious lives, now
in ruins. The Turk is planning to rid
himself of missionaries and teachers by
leaving them nobody to labor smong''
