Notes of the stage.


MANY good stories are told of Dan Hart,
the old minstrel, who is now at the city
hospital, at st. Louis, and reported to be
in a. bad way, Dan never laid much store
by the proverb that to live long one must
live slowly. But the ills of the flesh have
been but a small part of the MINISTER'S
troubles UP to this time. If stories are to
be believed he was the victim of a hoodoo;
his life was Jonahed one. Billy Rice, an
other old-timer. who is now playing at the
Fourteenth-street Theater. tells several
amusing anecdotes of Harris career.
Hart was a man who stuck to the old
standards of minstrelsy. He believed that
it was rank solecism to use anything but
the negro dialect while BACKED up. AS for

unlucky. Very few of the companies he
went out with lasted through the season.
On one occasion. remember, Dan found 1t
necessary to leave a hotel quietly, and
agreed with his roommate that they throw
their grips out of the window. Before do
ing so they tied them together with
stout cord. In the darkness they did not
see the hotel proprietors dog lying beneath
the window. The grips were thrown out,
but the cord fell across the Newfound-
lands back, and he got up and carried both
satchels into the barroom, where Mr.. Land
lord was drinking hot Scotch, preparatory
to going to bed. Exposure followed. Of
course, and there was no end Of trouble be-
fore they caught the company again.
"At another time Dan had a trunk full
of newspapers that he used to send to the
hotel. A careless porter dropped it one day,
and the lid burst open. 'Ha ha. What is
this see? exclaimed the boniface, indig-
nantly.

Hart was stranded in town in south

Considerable interest is manifested in the
appearance of Miss Isadore Rush, of Ro-
land Reeds Company, in the costume of
Rosaund. She is said to very dainty and
exceedingly attractive in the dress of the
character. She promises to cause somewhat
of hutters among feminine hearts with her
new gowns. She has designed them herself,
as, in fact, she does all her gowns, which
is sufficient guarantee that they will be at
tractive Miss Rush has real talent for the
art of dressing. She is original in every

masculine for her. Still she had TO be man

and designed costume with a narrow

imitation of masculinity. Her new dresses

BLANCO TELLS AMERICANS OF
CUBAN AUTONOMY.

A copyright despatch from Havana
to the World contains a message from
Governor General Blanco, in which
he says, among other things: "The
autonomy which Spain freely offers
to Cuba is genuine and complete. 1t
is more than has been asked for by
the Autonomist party. It is more
than is implied by the autonomy of
Canada.
The crown merely reserves the
functions of foreign relations, the su-
preme court and the navy and war
departments. All powers which have
colonies retain these, the natural at
tributes of a mother country.
The Cubans have home rule. They
may enact their own laws, interpret
them and execute them. For a suf-
ficient time to allow the manufacture
ing interests of Spain to adjust them
selves to a new foreign competition
there will be maintained a differen-
tial duty in their favor. But ulti-
mately the disposition of it's tariff
regulations will be wholly in the
power of Cuba.
I shall attack the insurgents upon
their own ground and in their own
way. With my regular troops and
native assistance, I expect shortly to
break the backbone OF the insurrec-
ton. Your Indian fighter, General
Crook, adopted the same tactics, and
the English employ them in India.
With what the government is doing,
with the efforts of the newly organic
ed charity and with the expected re-
Stunning of work by the sugar estates,
I consider that the reconcentrados
soon will be able to esum their
usual mode of life. Military opera
tions are being pushed. In the last
ten days the army has inflicted very
severe losses upon the insurgents of
Pinar del Rio, Matanzes and the Santa
Clara provinces.
By activity in implanting autonomy
and in harassing the rebels l expect
to shortly reduce the insurgents to
unorganized brigands. In short, the
duration of the war is simply a mat
ter for you, the American people, to
decide. If you continue to allow
flibustering expeditions to leave your
shores, against the efforts Of your
government, you will enable the in
surgents to at least in part keep up
the war against Spain, against the
interests of Cuba and against the in
terests of American citizens.

OFFICIAL COUNT.

Official reports in regard to the late
election ere much more favorable to
republicans than the first reports in
Dictated. 1t could not be expected
that the party could keep up its rec
ord of 1896 on an off year. In Ohio
the total roll was 839 ,O86, a falling off
from 1896 of III, 1924. The republican
plurality is %, 1O1, a vote considera-
bly, larger than any since 1893. In
Maryland the total vote was 241, 1888,
a falling off of only 5000 from last
year. The republican plurality this
year is 7,1O9, against a democratic
plurality of 1882, in 1893. The re-
publican plurality at the presidential
election in 1896 was 1924. In Ne
braska the total vote vas 1911 1897, a
loss of 81, 900 from last year. The fu-
sion plurality is 1910, last year 49,
500. In Iowa the total vote was 1885,
622, a loss of 1000 from last year,
but a gain Of $1,000 over 1898. The
republican plurality 5000, 5000
more than four years ago and 81 200
less than last year. In Kentucky the
total vote was $685. 43, a falling off of
80, 900 from last year. The democrat
ic plurality is 1884. In 1890 the
democratic plurality was 54,7O7.
Last year the state was carried by
Mckinley by a plurality Of 281. In
Massachusetts the total vote was 269,
795, a falling off of 100 1000 from last
year.
The cainet has discussed at length
the project of sending relief to the
Klondike. The basis of the discussion
was a telegram received by President
Mckinley from the Portland, Ore,
Chamber of Commerce, declaring that
there was grave danger of restitution
and suffering and offering to procure
the necessary supplies if the Govern
ment would undertake the transport
tation. While the Cabinet sympa-
thized with the project, it was decided
that nothing could be done until Con-
gress met. 1t is probable that the
President will send in a special mes
sege asking an appropriation for the
purpose.

The case of DIR. w. H. Giddings.
former superintendent of the Water
bury Insane asylum, charged with
cruel and abusive treatment of female
patients in that institution was ended
yesterday morning, when a noUe pros
equi was entered by States Attorney
E. A. Rowland.
States Attorney Fred A. Rowland
asked the court to mol pros the five
cases of assault charged against DR..
Giddings and Judge Tyler ordered
that it be done. States Attorney
Rowland stated his reasons for asking
that the case be mol pressed. He said
the respondent was living at his home
in Bakersfield, and had>suffered great
ly because of the action of the legisla-
tive committee in deposing him. His
family also deeply felt the stigma at
tached. Dr.. Giddings was not now
connected with the institution. He
had talked with the asylum trustees
and they did not believe much could
be gained by having the matter stir
red up, and they thought it might
damage the reputation of the asylum
if it was done.
He had also talked with one of the
grand jurors, who had been most
prominent in the suit, and he was of
the opinion that such dispositions of
the cases would be proper. One of
the cases, he said, was tried in court
and the jury disagreed, standing, Is
he understood, six to six. The jurors
were discharged by the court. Judge
Tyler said he would do as the States
attorney recommended, and ordered
the cases mol pressed.

NEW ORLEANS MINT 10 CLOSE.

The closing of the mint at New
Orleans, which has been recommend
ed by Directr Preston in his annual
estimates, is the beginning of a policy
of concentrating the mint work at
Philadelphia and III or two other
centres. The New Orleans mint has
been in operation since 1885, upon a
lot given by the city, and may be re-
turned to the city, with the privilege
of using the building for hospital pur-
poses. 1t is the policy Of Director
Preston to have the minis as near as
possible to the centres of production
of gold and silver. He has, there
fore, recommended the closing of the
mint at Carson City, New, and it's con-
version into an assay Office. No work
has been done at Carson for several
years, but some deposits of gold and
silver have been received and assay
ed, as is done in Boise City and other
assay offices. Very little metal has
been deposited in New Orleans for
many years. Coinage work has been
maintained only by transferring bull
lion from points in the West near the
centres of production, Or from Phila-
delphia, from the stores accumulated
there. About 1925 900 has been the
amount of the gold deposits at New
Orleans in recent years, and this has
consisted almost as largely of old
plate and jewelry as of new gold from
Nicaragua, Costa Rica and other
points in Central and South America.
The amount of bullion purchased
under the Sherman law of 800 which
is now at New Orleans is only SOL, 1913
ounces, while the amount at Phila-
delphia is 1O9, 619, 057 ounces.
The Carson mint has been several
times closed by the director of the
mint, but has been reopened under
the pressure of the Nevada senators
and representatives. The last occa-
sion was on June 1, 1898, when Secre-
tary Carlisle ordered the mint closed,
by the advice of Director Preston,
and refused to yield to requests for
1OO ASORSAAAhS' Va
poets hereafter to do the coinage
work entirely at San Francisco and
Philadelphia until the Denver mint is
completed. This will not be for sew
eral years, but the Denver mint will
be capable of doing work enough to
meet any probable demand in excess
of the work at the other minis. DEN
yer has become a great centre of gold
deposits, and the assay office there
has been receiving more than 81 ,000,-
900 per,month in new bullion. Work
on the Philadelphia mint is now pro-
crossing so that it will be finished in
two or three years. The capacity of
the new building will be much SUI
perior to that of the old, and, with
the new mint at Denver, will be cap
able of turning out an immense guam
tity of new gold and silver coins OF
all classes. Most of the gold coinage
is nowdone at Philadelphia, and much
of the subsidiary silver coinage.
