The Biograph.

The Biograph continues in popularity at
Willard Hall, and although this marvellous
device has beenson aeXhibition in the city
for nearly four months it has by no means
lost its attractive qualities Late comers
at the night performances are beginning
to have difficulty in finding choice seats,
but the management has steadfastly re-
fused to sell reserved seats. owing to the
limited seating capacity of the hail.
New views, some humorous andotherwlse,
have been added during the week, until
at present nearly forty magnificent scenes
are shown at each exhibition. Many people
who are now attending the performances
are apreeably surprised. When they came
to a hiograph exhibition it was with the
idea that it was a stereoptieon entertain
ment In this they were much mistaken.
Take, forinstance, the Herald Square scene
in New York. This picture depicts that
busy section OF the metropolis at the noon
hour and shows the fire department re-
sronfIinc to an alarm. When one sees the
view it appears as though the horses of the
department were coming directly into the
audience. The views of the Inauguration
have increased In their popularity, and the
people who missed the magnificent pageant
attending the inauguration Of President
Mckinley can see it as vfvidly reproduced
by the Biograph as it was on that memor-
able 4th OF March.
The performances continue as usual,
2:30, 4:30 and 8:16 p. 70. daily.
The evening times., 1897-04-03

1t is sauthontatively stated that HenryW.
Raymond, OF Pennsylvania, will be APP
pointed 60 fill Mr. McAdoos place as As
sistant Secretary of the Navy. Mr.. Ray
mond called at the White House today and
held long conference with the PTesi-
dent. II believed that the appointment
was finally settled upon, and that Mr.. Ray
mond's S name will go TO the Senate on Mon
day.
1t is not hard to discern the fine Italian
hand of Matthew Stanley Quay in Ray
mond's appointment. Senator Penrose has
called at the White House a number of
times lately and gave President Mckinley
20 understand that Raymond would be
acceptable not only 10 Quay, but 10 himself
as well
The Withdrawal al of ongresSnlan Robin
son, Of Pennsylvania, from the race prac-
tcally settles the matter in Raymond's
favor. Raymond comes from Germa nto wn
and has always taken an active part in
the Republican politics of the State.
Raymonds appointment sets at rest all
rumors in regard to Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the New York police commis-
sion, as McAdoo's probable successor in the
Navy Department. RoOsevelt's name has
been repeatedly mentioned in connection
with the place. It is said that Secretary
Long has from the first urged the Presi-
dent to appoint him. Roosevelt, however,
was opposed by Senator Thomas c. Platt,
and the easy boss filed protest against
the nomiR alton.
Platt's opposition, it is said, was the
principal cause of President McKinley's
determination ~ give Raymond the place.
Besides having the support of both Sena-
tors QUAY and Penrose-the Pennsylvania
man was strongly indorsed for the position
10y ex-Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin
Tracy
One needed but to call roster of both
the House and the Senate to find out who
was at the White House today. Senators
and Congressmen of both high and low de-
gree came in countless numbers TO partici-
patel n the Spoils. Many were accompanied
by delegat IONS, some came alone. The Pres
ident mana aged to lend a willing ear To al
his callers. First of all came Thomas c.
P,att, the astute statesple@7o Of the Empire
State.
SenateT TIatt, as usual, was reticent as
20 the object of his visit.
An Ohio man, but one in no sense a
carpet-bagger, having been actively con-
nected with Territorial affairs for fifteen
years, is to be the next governor Of Ari-
zona, according to a well-defined report in
political circles today. Burt Dunlap is the
man.
Dunlap has been a lawyer, cattle-raiser,
miner and contractor, and has lived in
Arizona since 1882. Hell well esteemed
among the people of the Territory and it
is said that his name will be sent to
the Senate in few days
A Pennsylvania Congressman is resPonsi-
ble for the statement that Terence '.
Powderly, ex-mayor Of Scranton, and
formerly the supreme head Of tie Knights
OF Labor, is slated for Commissioner of
Immigration, to succeed Herman Stump,
OF Maryland. The President is said TO
have spoken highly Of POwderly, and, it
is said, will appoint him.
Ex-Representative Keifer of Minnesota,
is also an applicant for the position, and
Senator Nelson was at the White House
today to urge his appointment.

Women More Marriageable.

Somebody writing in London Woman de-
clares that women are becoming more
marrjagea bic The writer declares that
they are not SO ready to rush into natIi-
muny certainly for their lives aIe no longer
stunted and empty, and htey are per-
haps inclined to subject suitors to little
more mental criticism. Moreover, men
are, happily, not 80 eager to marry young.
Il think we shall find, as the world goes
on said the writer referred to, more
happy marriages to rejoice our quality
of benevolence, for the reasons that lave
Just stated are deep and powerful incen-
tives to happiness. If only each sex would
more fully realize the honor done to 1t at
the altar by the other The incest, most
chivalrous hearted men sometimes say that
half their pleasure in a wife consists III
taking care of her, yet one canno help
agreeing with the saying Of some writer
that "A woman, in order to give her hand
with dignity. must be able to stand alone
The gift is hen complete, open-hearted and
generous; a meet return for the honor,
grace and reverence which have been
freely paid to her''-Chicago Chronicle.

COUSIN OSBORNE GIVES WAY
His Resignation as Secretary of
the National Committee.
MAJOR DICKS APPOINTMENT
After n Stubborn Resistance the
Presidents Relative Concludes
That Prudence Is the Better Part
of vaIor-The New Official Is /,
Bright Young Politician.

The prevailing topic OF conversation at
the White House today was the resignation
of Gen. William Mckinley Osborne as sec
retary of the national Republican commit
tee. The resignation was forwarded to
Chairman Mark Hanna late last night. Sem
ator Hanna Immediately appointed Major
Charles Dick, of Akron, Ohio, to the place,
which pays $4,000 year
Senator Hanna has long desired to ap-
point Dick To the place, but Cousin Osborne
persistently refused to resign. Even after
he was appointed consul general 70 Lon
don he clung to the secretaryship and
threatened To take the position to the Brit
ish capital with him.
The efforts that President Mckinley is
said to have made to induce his relative to
abandon the idea OF trying to hold two
positions at the same time proved fruit
less. Osborne evidently knew OF Senator
Hanna's resolve TO appoint Dick, and was
determined, III possible, to thwart his pur-
pose.
The difference between Osborne and Dick
arose during the past campaign, when Dick
was put in charge OF the general head
quarters in Chicago. and Osborne was given
"a subordinate position in New York. 1t Is
expected that Dick will assume charge
of his position in few days. Atpresent he
is in Akron, o.
Major Dick is one of the best known
young politicians in the country He was
chairman of tine Republican state execH-
tive committee OF Ohio during the cam
paigns of '92, SO and "a; was delegate
to the national conventions in 1892 and
1896. and was secretary Of the RepUbli-
can headquarters in Chicago during the
campaign last fall

sAAGU|LLr MUST TAKE CARE
Secretary Sherman's Warning to
the Cuban Patriot.
HE SHOULD NOT GO TO CUBA
The Secretary Says That If the Gen.
eral Should Be So Foolish He
Would Be Killed without Cere-
mony-The Cuban's Pledge to
Spain-He Has Left New York.

Secretary Sherman made q statement to-
day OF Importance TO Americans who are
active in Cuban matters. When as ked about
the reported intention Of Julio Sanguilly to
return to Cuba he replied
Il don't believe he will go If he should
be so foolish he would have to take his
life into his own hands We should never
interfere in his behalf again, but would
have to let things take their course. 1 have
his written pledge not to take active part
in the insurrection in any way. SO has
Spain, and they could kill him without
ceremony. No, L think he would not be
such a fool"
The pledge referred to was made by
Sanguilly in January just before his pardon
by the Queen Regent OF Spain, and was
signed voluntarily in Spa nish and English
and handed to Consul General Lee. The
Spanish copy went to the Spanish authori-
ties, and the one in English now on Sec
retary sherman's desk is as follows:
Affirmation of Julio Sanguiny:
Il Julio Sanguilly.san American citizen,
confined at the Cabana fortress, Havana,
do hereby sacrediy affirm to the United
States and To Spain that If l am released
by pardon of the latter government | will
leave and remain away from Cuba and
will not aid, directly or indirectly, the
present insurrection against the govern
ment of Spain and / hereby promise that
should ! do so at any time / Will not
claim the protection OF the United states
Government. l certify that this pledge
is given of my own free will and without
compulsion on the part OF any one.
JULIO SANGUILLY
Fortress Cabana, Havana Jan. 81, 1897.
Witnesses, Ernesto La Fosca, Donnel
Rockwell -
If Sanguilly makes any attempt to carry
out his reported intention Of leaving for
Cuba, the United States will be powerless
To stop him unless he goes with an armed
expedition, but grave fears are expressed
at the State department that the de-
parture OF Sanguniy at this time might
seal the fate of other hinericansimprisoned
in Cuba, whose EardGn by the queen regent
under similar Conditions is now being
sought.
IL was believef voday that Gen Sanguilly
was in the city Mrs. SanguiIly stated TO
a reporter at his home In New York yester-
day thattne general had left for Washing
tor for a consultation today with his at
torney, Dr. Rodriguez. 1t could not be
learned that he reached the city last night,
md it was supposed that he had been met
by friends in Philadelphia, and induced to
remain with them over night.
Gen. Sanguilly has not yet arrived ap-
parently. Dr. Rodriguez left the city this
morning with Ibis family for Baltimore.
At his home, No / $40 Vermont avenue,
it was not known yvhat is his errand, but
il was stated that he is expected to re-
turn tonight.
The suppositiOn is that Gen. SanguiIly
and Dr. Rodriguez will meet in Ralti-
more Whether they will have their con-
sultation there, and Sanguilly will not
coue to this city, or whether DR.. Roder-
iguez will bring him back tonight, cannot
now be learned

BEAUTY In MATURITY.

The physical beaut yof women should last,
growing more and more mellow until the
end. That the beauty Of women, iikethat or
men, should be determined from the stand
point of advancing maturity cannot be dis
puted- It is absurd 10 claim that the ripe,
rich beauty OF forty is less attractive than
the budding immaturity OF sweet sixteen.
When women live in harmony with natures
laws each stage OF life has its own charm.
The fuiness OF beauty does not reach its
zenith under the age Of thirty-five Or forty.
Helen of Troy comes upon the stage at the
age of forty. Aspasia was thirty-siX when
married to Pericles, and she was brilliant
figure thirty years thereafter. Cleopatra
was past thirty years when she met An
tony. Diane de PoictIers was thirty six
when she won the heart of Henry III. The
king was half her age, but his DEVOTION
nerver changed.
Anne of Austria was 30 when described
as the most beautiful woman in Europe.
Nine de Maintenon was 10 when united to
Louis, and Catherine Of Russia 33 when
she seized the throne she occupied for
thirty-five years Mile Mar was most
beautiful at As ana Mime. Recamier be
tween the ages Of 80 and SO. The most
lasting and intense passion is not inspired
by two-decade beauties. The old saw
about sweet 16 is exploded by the truer
knowledge That the highest beauty does
not dwell in irumatuHity. For beauty does
not mean alone the fashion of form and
coloring as found in the waxen doll The
dew Of youth and complexion OF roses
are admirable for that period, but a wom-
ans best ana richest years are from 50
to 40. 1t is arrant error for any woman
10 regard herself as passe at any age If
she grows OId graeefuHy--Chicago Chror-

rvnewriters in the Orient.

According to reports sent back by young
women W no went to the Orient TO seek their
fortunes. there is a great field for type
writer girls in Japan and China. More
overland this may or not be an induce
ment-all the girls who have so far gone out
to do typewriting or stenography have
either married or are engaged to be mar
ried before long. But, of course, that's
another matter quite apart from the busi-
ness opportunities The first woman to
try her luck was Dora Floyd, of Seattle,
who, two years ago, crossed the Pacific
to see if there were any chance of getting
work in Yokohama. She went provided
with letters to the consul general, who in
turn recommended her to merchants OF
the place, buteverywhere she was told that
never having had any experience with
shorthand writer's, they could offer her
nothing. Miss Floyd demanded trial,
and one ''mail day. she proved so useful
that she was given fine position. Then
she got married, and sent for friend to
come out and take her place, and now,
so report says, the merchants at Hong
Kong. Kobe, Nagasaki, Shangha al and
Yokohama are providing themselves with
women stenographers as fast as possible
