ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
! MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. ,

In theatrical entertainment people so
often get less than they expect that it is
a pleasure to record an instance in which
they expect less than they get. Such an
instance is in the attraction at the Audi
torium. the engagement of Miss Emily
Bancker and her company, which opened
at that theater last night and will close
tonight, there being 4 matinee this after
noon. Although Miss Bancker is known TO
a Soodly number of playgoers of this city,
she has never before played at this house.
and those who know her not and those who
know her well will be alike surprised at the
work she does in the double bill composed
of Comedy and Tragedy and "A Divorce
Cure" The former is an attractive piece
written by W. S. Gilbert for Mary An
derson and gives Miss Bancker scene
that might have been devised by Sardou
for II places the heroine in the precise
predicament in which the great French
dramatist likes TO put his women-the pre-
dlcament of undertaking more than the
emotions will stand. but discovering the
limitations of the emotions when il is too
iate TO retract. In the second bill. which
Is founded on Sardou'S ''DivorconS." but
A;mericanized by Mr.. Harry ST. Maur. a
clever writer, Miss Bancker has the task
OF presenting character ranging from a
frou-trou to very sensible. estimable
woman, and the scope is one that eXacts
much OF the interpreter. In both plays
MISS Bancker shows remarkable progress
over her former work in this city. She
has always been q woman of great person
al charm and engaging refinement of tenn
permanent and manner, but she has de-
Neloped into an artist of much authority
aud she won everyone who saw her work
last night Not that Miss Bancker has
not still room to grow. She will yet ac-
quire more finish and will display finer
| appreciation of detail. She is at this time
| a very superior and thoroughly interest
| ing actress. Both plays are entertaining
and are well cast, special mention being
| due Mr.. Raymond Capp. Mr.. ]. p. Cope
| and Miss Channez Olney.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 28TH, 1896.
IF Spain doesn't wish to see more
radical change of sentiment in the Unit
ed States in favor of Cuba than that
which has recently taken place in favor
of conservative course in dealing with
the Cuban question: recently said a
high official, "she will call off the lying
presses that has lately been employed
in Europe lie was referring especi-
ally to the report first published in a
Paris dispatch to the London Times,
that Germany had intimated to the
United States government that if it
took any action calculated to aid the
Cubans, Germany would join SPAN in
making war upon us. 1t was hardly
necessary for the State Department to
take the trouble to deny such rot as
that, but its officials did so soon as it
was published. 1t can be stated on
high authority that no European gov
ernment has ever given this govern
ment the slightest hint that it wished
to interfere with the course this govern
ment was pursuing or WAS intending to
pursue toward Cuba. On the contrary,
some Of them have given this govern
ment assurances that they would keep
their hands off in case we had any
trouble with Spain. The publication
OF this report was unquestionably in
tended to work upon public sentiment
in this country, and through that sentl-
ment upon Congress and the President;
but even if such report were known
to be true, it would have an effect just
the opposite from that intended. Amer
leans have been outwitted in diplomacy
by European nations, but they have
never been frightened by any of them
or all of them, and what is more, they
never will be. Americans don't want
war, but if they should have to fight
Spain, they would much prefer fighting
her backed by Germany to fighting her
alone. Spain is regarded as such a
pigmy among the worlds nations that
there would be but little credit attach.
ed to thrashing her, but Spain assisted
by any of the great European nations
would make foe worth licking, il war
cannot be honorably avoided.
There is the usual ante-inauguration
talk in Washington about having more
artistic stands erected along Pennsyl-
vania avenue for those spectators who
prefer to pay for the privilege Ct view
ing the Inaugural parade from a seat,
but nobody really expects to see any
thing different from the usual rough
board stands which are always erected
by the spectators who buy that privi-
lege from the inaugural committee,
and who. by the way, lose money much
oftener than they make any. When

But when physical weakness or disease is
added to wo1nan's burden it becomes al
together too heavy. No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful, who is dragged down
by continual pain and physical wretch

The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easy
to overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention. But if allowed to
60 unchecked they are liable to develop
into serious chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is
a perfect and unfailing specific for all dis.
eases of the feminine organs. 1t was de-
vised for this one purpose, and accomp-
fishes this purpose as no other medicine
has ever done.
For nearly 90 years Or. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,

of associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of female
complaint"
No physician living has had more ex-
tended opportunity to study this class OF

Reports from all sections of the state are
to the effect that the New Assessment will
result in an increased tax basis. This in not
only good news, but shows that an immense
amount of property was escaping taxation,
for certainly everything is assessed at lower
valuation than in 1876 and besides, there are
exemptions not then allowed. These are
more than offset by the mortgage tax, but to
sum all up and strike balances, it will assur.
eddy be found that much property, taxable

REFORM in FINANCES.
Report of the Committee ON Banking
Laws.


Washington, Jan. 29.--The national
board Of trade today adopted the report
Of the committee on banking laws. 1t
was the opinion Of the committee that
there should be established a consistent
and deliberately planned financial sys-
TEN.
The plan presented was briefly as
follows:
"First-Gold coin shall remain
standard money.
Second-Steps shall he taken to re-
tire all United States notes in such a
way as not to disturb business rela-
tions. National banks be allowed to
issue currency to the par value Of their
bonds, the tax on the circulation shall
be reduced and the banks be allowed to
issue currency based on their assets,
under such national supervision and
restrictions as will make it safe, elas-
tic and redeemable in gold at the bank
OF issue and at the city of New York.
Third-Such banks of issue, with a
capital Of $40, 900 or more shall be au-
thorized to be established in towns and
villages Of less than 5000 population. "
The committee on the subject of a
monetary commission, made a report in
which congress is asked to create
commission to consist of eleven persons
appointed by the president, two of
whom shall be selected from the senate
committee on finance and two from the
house banking and currency committee.
OF the other seven members, two
shall be bankers Of recognized experi-
ence and ability, two agriculturists of
prominence and ability, two merchants
or manufacturers Of standing, the re-
naming member to be elected on ac-
count of recognized ability and learning
in the science of political economy. In
no event shall more than six members
be OF the same political party.
1t shall be the duty of this commits
sion to enter upon thorough and COM
prehensive consideration of the bank
ing affairs of the United States and the
laws relating thereto. On or before
January 1, 1898, they shall make a
concise and exact report.
The commission shall frame a bill
to carry their recommendation into
effect In case congress, for any rea-
son, fails to cause the appointment of
this commission the board shall ap-
prove the alternative plan OF the In
dianapolis convention to appoint such a
commission itself.
