The eighth concert of the Symphony Society-which takes place at the Ti- voli on Thursday afternoon, and at 3:15 sharp, owing to lengthy programme offers the first soloist of the season in Henri Marteau, the young French vio- linist Marteau made quite sensa- tion in New York several years ago, after which he returned to Paris, where he was promptly drafted to serve his
 time in the French army. He was honorably discharged and with shorter hair, played again in New York seve-
 ral months ago.
 MT. Henderson of the Times compli- ments him in these terms:
 "Marteau plays with the same dash and vigor as of old. There is fresh
 ness, a bueyant enthusiasm, in his playing which is delightful and con- tagious You find yourself in a glow when he has finished such a piece of sustained vigor as his performance of the first movement yesterday. His tone is lovely, his phrasing musical, and his lowing is full of vitality Marteau has gained in assurance, in authority of style since he was here before" This is the entire programme: Zine Faust Ouverture, Wagner; concerto for violin in G minor, Bruch; symphony op. g. Herman Goetz; sonata for vio- lin alone, Bach; Capriccio Italien, TSchaikowsky.
 Marteau will play again at the Young
 Mems Auditorium on Saturday after noon, March 12, assisted by Aime La chaurne, the well-known pianist, who has performed here before with several eminent yioliniStS.

string of new attractions an- nounced at the Orpheum for this week includes RudiLoff, who styles himself "The Royal Society Entertainer" and Is expected to give a novel and inter- esting turn, a feature of which is what he terms smoked pictures. It is said that he secures some very artistic ef- fects in black and white, and also that his rendering of coon songs, with French accent, Is very funny. The Human Music Sheet" which is now a popular vaudeville feature in the East, will be produced at the Orpheum to- night. Fifty coons will appear in this production, with their heads taking the place of notes on the music sheet, while they give the corresponding intona- tions and thus furnish the chorus to the songs of Josephine Sabel. Miss Sabel is already well known to Or pheum audiences as a vivacious chan teuse The Orpheum advertises a star attraction in the Jose Quintet, which Assistant Director Morrisey says is by far the best act of it's kind on the vau- deville stage. Smith and Cook, in a comedy skit entitled Mickey and r.; Webb and Hassan, head and head bal ancers and novelty acrobats, represent the other new features, and held over from last week are the Whitney Broth CTS, Joe and Nellie Doner, Smart and Williams. George w. Day, Maude Beal Price and Lima PantZer.

TiVoli.

"The Geisha" will enter the second week of its reproduction at the Tiv- Opera-house to-morrow evening. This clever musical comedy which has scored a second success, is one of it's previous fifty-night run, is one of the best of the Tivoli's conscientious productions, and there is no evidence of any lack of appreciation among the Ti- voli audiences. The cast is the same as heretofore, with the exception of MT. John J. Rafael, who takes Robert Dun bars place as, Lieutenant Fairfax.
 Next Thursday evening Miss Helen Merrill will make her first appearance in the title role of 'The Geisha." Since her last appearance at this house Miss Merrill has been with several com panies and played many roles with great success. After the run of The Geisha" the roaring musical comedy, ''The Widow O'Brien," will be given with host of novel features.

The bill for the coming week at the Alcazar will be "The Gilded Fool" the play which Henry Guy Carleton wrote for Nat Goodwin and in which Nat Goodwin made fame for himself and Henry Guy Carleton. The play is well known East, West and abroad, and the story-for the benefit of those who may not have seen it-is based upon a spider and fly game of an unscrupu- lous broker to secure the fortune of a rich young man of leisure, with which to tide an insolvent firm over its finan- cial difficulties.

And if this be thus here, where only temporary en- gagement is at stake, where a good show may come the next week and wipe away the stains of transient failure how must it be in New York, where the first presentation is supposed to de- terrnine the American career of the piece?

Arrangements already have been completed at the Fifth Avenue Theater by which three of Ibsen's plays will be presented this week by Elizabeth Rob- bins, the young IbSen missionary, who did such signal work in London. The plays selected are "The Master Build er," "Hedda Gabler" and "A Dolls House." This will be the most impor- tant Ibsen week ever played in New York, and the outcome is a matter of serious interest. Unquestionably 1b- sen is the greatest of the modern dra- matists, and it would be a pity if all America should lose the chance of in timacy with his plays through a repe- tition of the silly hostility that has been offered previous productions by the critics of the sensational dailies.
 The stage version of Thackeray's Henry Esmond' was tried on Roches- ter the other night by MT. Sothern and his company. The sincerity of the play is said to be largely marred by marrying in the last act the characters who are known in the novel as Esmond and Beatrix.

brought them all about, for the more
people read of war movements and the

they know about such matters.
So 1t happens that there has arisen
among well read. well educated people
an abounding desire to know more about
the Army and more Of military terms.
Some clever woman somewhere got it into
her head that the best way to teach peo-
pie about these things was to have them
learn by some sort of actual experience,
and she bought, therefore. a stock of tin
soldiers and secured an old military man
to come around one evening and talk
about war and soldiers illustrating his
remarks by moving tho soldiers in regi-
mentS and divisions on his hostess biz
dining room table.
The plan succeeded beyond all expec-
tations, and tin soldier parties are now
very popular. As, given now in several
houses these have evolved into something
far more elaborate than originally. Ma

A Naval Heroine.

There is one instance, and one only, on
record since the days of Artemisia. the
friend and ally of Alexander, concerning
whose naval prowess Herodotus tells
such wonderful stories, of a woman who
has fought on board a man-of-war. She
was the wife of one oY the gunners on
admiral Rodney's flagship and piled the
trade of a bumboat woman. 1t was dur
ing the war between France and England
and their colonies, which in American
history Is known as the French and In
dian war. and Rodney mad cnarge of the
fleet in defense of the English channel
During hot engagement the admiral no.
ticed. to his great astonishment, that a
woman was serving one of the guns and
doing it well. The fight was too severe
to interfere at the moment. so the story
goes that in spite of the fragrant breach
of discipline the admiral let her alone.
When the enemy had struck his COL
ors he went to the woman and demand
ed:
What are you doing here?"

husband Is wounded and down in the

afraid of the French?'
She was reprimanded very gently and

up to heaven from the hearts of Cuban
women throughout the length and

There has never been a war In histo-
ry in which women have played such
prominent part as in this war for Cuban
independence, writes Kate Masterson In
the Pittsburg Dispatch. Their courage
and nobility throughout the years of
seemingly hopeless battle against a pow
erful enemy have made a page in femin-
nine history.
Whatever faults may be credited to the
Cuban, who has for generations lived In
a state little better than slavery, the
women OF Cuba are its greatest glory. 1t

wives and mothers who have prayed for
the ending of the war. and whose prayers
have at last been answered And as wives
and mothers the Cuban women have no
equal.
The Cuban girl Is educated in a rigid
school. Even the poorer families do not
allow the daughters of the families to
go abroad without a duenna. No such
freedom is allowed as that which Ameri-
can girls are accustomed to. An engag-
ed girl never sees her fiance alone or
walks or drives with him without a
chaperon. The duenna is an institution
in Cuba.
That there are women on the field in
Cuba actually fighting with some of
the detachments. machete in hand and
revolver in belt. is undoubtedly true.
That these women are "Amazons' in
the usual sense of the word. Is not
true. They are not fierce, masculine
creatures leading on the army to fight
the foe. as they have been described by
some writers. but are nearly all on the
field with their husbands. their fathers
or their brothers
A hundred women fought under Ma
Geo. and there are a number now in
Gen. Gomez's command. While there
are very few of the women who have
adopted the masculine uniform, the
dress of the majority consists of
brown linen blouse and skirt, the latter
shorter than the walking skirt. and
worn with high boots. which protect
the legs from the cacti and underbrush
through which the insurgents march
