Kaiser Wilhelm may not be an ami
able character at all times. We do not
wish to say anything unkind or hasty
about him. but there are occasions up
on which he seems To act like 4 sort of
cross between McDingley and Grosve-
nor. crossed back on Reed. In other
words. he is a protectionist of explosive
diathesis and an irresponsible despot,
all i'm one. As such, he ought TO
have endeared himself To the Repub-
lican party, which contains and prac-
tices all the foregoing virtues; instead
Of which all the united hosts Of Nc
Dingleyism are swearing Themselves
black in the face at him, and threaten
ing mad retaliation, because he is Civ

was perfecting a systematic plan by
which good reading matter would be Sc

Iaf6ye te-Thomas w. KeeDe

The bill at the Lafayette last night
was "Richelieu," with Thomas Keene
in the character of the willy and pow
erful Cardinal. Mr.. Keene's work in
this part is very characteristic. and
very well known to all Of his admirers
The character. as he pertrays it. par
takes considerably more of the lion
than of the fox, and there is a sort of
feline suggestion about it which is
very effective. When he defies a man
he seems to be getting ready to pounce
upon him and, although he does not
do this. the man is intimidated. and
stands back. In one or two scenes
particularly that in which the Cardinal
threatens jules enemies with the
curse of Rome, Mr.. Keene's acting rose
to a height which fairly swept the au-
dience away on a tide of enthusiasm.
In tearing a passion to tatters. in melo-
dramatic strength and picturesque eff
feet. he is an artist. and at almost any
point in the play photograph of the
stage and the people on il would have
made a striking picture. Mr.. Keene
has been fortunate in securing COM
pany of actors whose style is harmo-
nious with his own. Mr. Charles Han
ford. who is well known here as tai
ented actor of youthful parts, plays
Adrien de Maupray in a spirited and
sympathetic way. and Lucia Moore
was a beautiful and attractive Julie.
Her work. like Mr.. Keene's, was at its
best in the strongly emotional scenes.
The minor parts were all well taken.

A NEW DRAMATIC STAR
Is OF the school Founded BY James
owen O'Connor

New York, Feb. S.-A new star of
Shakesperian tragedy has dawned upon
the dramatic horizon and incidentally
on Eighth avenue.
George Henry Bennett is this aspi-
rant for histrionic hOnors. He made his
debut as a Shakesperian actor in
Miners Eighth Avenue Theater Sunday
night.
He had had trial at a sacred con-
cert at that theater the week before
His art was not considered sacred by
the boys in the gallery that night. He
was therefore considered a success, and
his name was printed on the bill for
last nights concert.
Boys of the gallery had peanuts and
apples to throw at him as an evidence
of their approval. They gave him
noisy reception and reserved their mis-
siles for his scene and curtain calls
But after reciting the soliloquy of Rich
ard III, after he, as the Duke of Glou-
cester, had killed Henry VI. the actor
declined to respond TO a call, saying in
a deep and tragic voice:
II like not the temper of that gallery"
Mr.. Bennett is q remarkable actor
He is known as the sixth avenue bar
tender" but he says he should not be
called such, as he was forced to earn
a living as q bartender by adverse cir
cumstances while fitting himself for
the stage. He is a self-made actor.

GTand-"A Hired Girl"

After a run of such Blaney farces as
"A Baggage Check" and "A Boy Want
ed one is likely to expect just a little
too much excellence in all other Blaney
nonsensicalities, and perhaps it was
more that than anything else that
made "A Hired Girl" which opened
last night at the Grand Opera House,
a trifle disappointing. Not that there
was any of the usual charm of song
and jest lacking in the piece, but a
certain air of amateurism, and, at the
same time, of age, took a vast deal of
the snap and go out of the entertain
ment and left it lacking in many of the
particulars that go to make up a thor
oughly enjoyable farce. 1t is but JUS
tice, however, to say that the audience
present last night seemed to enjoy the
piece greatly and frequent encores tes-
titled to the approval with which the
greater number of the individual eff
forts were received. There was
number of remarkably pretty girls on
view almost continuously during the
evening. and. to at least one portion of
the audience, this was enough to make
up for far worse shortcomings than
that of age in q farce like "A Hired
Girl" For the rest, there were several
specialties during the evening, that. in
the language of the Snowman, were
alone worth the price of admission"

JUDGE CULBERsoN's PURSE.
1t Contained $12O and Colored Boy
Got 1T

Frank Banks, bright twleve-year-
old colored boy, was arrested last night
by Policemen Baker and Herbert
charged with stealing a purse contain
ing s120 in money and a number of val
liable checks and papers belonging to
Judge Culberson, of Texas. Judge Gull
berson has been a guest at the Metro
politan for some time and during his
stay has employed Julia West, color
ed woman living in South Washington,
to do his. laundering. Yesterday the
woman called to get the clothes. She
was accompanied by her grandson,
Frank Banks. Later in the day the
Judge, in going to pay bill, missed his
purse.
The Banks boy on his way home lost
the money. Several colored boys found
the purse and divided the money.
though they had seen Banks drop it.
They were arrested and said that the
money belonged to Banks. He was ar
rested and confessed that the purse be-
longed to Judge Culberson. He said
that he had found it in the hall Of the
hotel He said that he wanted to re-
turn it, but his grandmother would not
allow him to do so. Julia West was al
so arrested. The money was not recov-
cred.
The evening times., 1898-02-08

1t is with proper surprise and indig-
nation that Mr.. Thomas Bracket Reed
Of Spain resents the imputation that
he could by any chance favor Hawaiian
annexation or any other measure Of a
patriotic character, or calculated to de-
press the influence Of anti-American
interests over national legislation. 1t
is rather amazing that the report of
his conversion should have been so
confidently asserted by gentlemen on
close terms of intimacy with him and
with the Administration. and as widely
accepted as it was. As far as the press
Of the country is concerned, it seems to
have been a case of belief in while
the lamp holds out to burn" principle.
However, ii does not follow that be-
cause Mr.. Reed does not like anneXa-
tiCn any more than he does the cause
Of liberty in Cuba, his cowed flock
might not break into insurrection and
carry the Morgan Hawaiian bin in
spite Of him. 1t is an Administra ton
measure, although not a party one.
since some Of the most distinguished
Democratic statesmen in the two
branches Of Congress are among its
prominent advocates and cham
pions. On that account the chances
for Democratic help ought to be good.
and of course would be improved if Mr.
Mckinley would show "A disposition TO
do his duty in another patriotic direc-
tion, and throw the weight Of the
Administration on the side of the Gu
ban patriots. If he wants more Demo-
cratic Hawaiian votes than are avail
able now, they probably could be in
nuenced by such a display of cour-
ageous Americanism. Perhaps il is
premature to talk about handling the
Hawaiian matter as a piece of general
legislation. Senator Davis, in charge Of
the treaty, is confident that he has
sixty votes. and we have observed that
he very seldom has been mistaken in
such matters. All the same. il would
he well for him to caution the Presi-
dent that the Anglo-Sugar lobby is
reaching the ears" Of Certain impor-
tant individuals, and that vigilance in
watching and analyzing its operations
appears to have relaxed within the
past ten days.

A BIG CATTLE SYNDICATE.
New York Capitalists TO Control
Live Stock Trade in Hondu ras.

New York, Feb. S.-One of the largest
concessions ever obtained by Americans
from a foreign government has fallen
into the hands of a syndicate Of New
York capitalists, who have completed
the organization Of a company 10 con-
troll the expectation and importation of
live stock of all descriptions from and
To the republic of Honduras free of all
duties
The concession is for twenty-five
years. 1t was granted by the govern
ment of Honduras to Otto Zurcher, a
citizen Of Switzerland, and he has since
been busy in Europe and America Cb-
tanning information regarding the
handling Of cattle and the production
of canned meats, leather, lard and oleo-
margarine.
His labors resulted in the fOrma tion
a few days ago of the Honduras Amer
lean Cattle. Agricultural and Colonial
tion Company. The company is capi-
talized at s5,000,00a.
About 300. 900 acres Of public land will
be granted to the company on condition
thar IL improves the live stock of the
country by introducing new blood. In
fulhllment of this part of the agreement
a shipment of los blooded boars was
made last week. lO5 more boars will be
shipped next week and a little later sew
eral hundred bulls of superior stock
will be sent. These will be distributed
for breeding purposes, and the stock
thus raised must be sold to the compa-
ny at a fixed price by the government
of 2l2 cents a pound on the hoof
At present there are 6,0000 900 cows in
Honduras. and the annual output of
hogs is about LOCO, COO These conces-
sions. il is believed, will put the new
company in few years practically in
control of the live stock market both
here and in Europe.

NationaI--SoI smith Russell.

The initial performance of the annu-
al engagement Of Sol Smith Russell
attracted an immense audience to the
New National last night. The bill was
that pretty comedy. "A Bachelors
Romance" and if one were to Judge
by its reception. 1t will long remain
as one of the most popular numbers
in Mr.. Russelrs repertoire. At the end
Of the first act last night, Mr.. Russell
was given triple curtain call and re-
sponded with one of his unique and
witty talks
Considerable interest was arouss ID by
the appearance for the first time in
the city of TkuTlow Bergen, a Wash
ington boy. His work, as Savage, was
excellent, and his friends were greatly
gratified with his immediate success.
Nanette Comstock has succeeded Ber-
tina Creighton as Sylvia and the work
Of the two ladies is naturally COM
pared. In some respects. the verdict
is neutral one, but. in others Miss
ComstOck secures the votes of the ma
jority of the critical. Mrs Pitt will
be remembered as the keen-tOngued
but affectionate old maid and Al Hud-
son nightly pleased his many friends
with his little bit. as Mr. Mulberry
Orrin Johnson and Mr.. Samson win
many favorable comments by their
delineation of parts differing as much
as does white from black. Miss Crane
and Miss Robinson. who appear i'm
leading roles later in the week, did
nicely with the little given them to do.
their parts being those of two society
women.
Among the theater parties in attend
ance was one composed of Mrs Nc
Klnley. Senator and Mrs. Hanna and
few friends. All the other boxes were
filled with brilliant. unofficial parties.

tinue until Thursday. when a triple
bill consisting of The Tanning of the
SErew,' Mr.. Valentines Christmas"
and The Spitire." will be put on. This
will also be presented on Friday night.
