ADJUSTMENTS.

At the METROPOLITAN Theater this even
ing Robert b Mantell, the distinguished
actor, will appear III the romantic drama
| "A Secret Warrant" French history, so
eventful in it's romantic and dramatic
interest, has furnished the material for
this most powerful modern play.
France, under the Bourbon rule, suffered
many corrupt practices; among the
most pernicious was the Letter de
Cachet,'' an ominous document prop
erly signed, but often left blank for the
name to be filled in by some court fav-
orite who had grievance to avenge,
often sacrificing a worthy subject.
The admiration for brave men, who
dare all for honor and pure womanhood,
is 9 sentiment as old as Adam. 1t makes
little difference in what country, or
under what circumstances, chivalry is
shown. so long as it is honest and the
result Of pure motives. There is, now
ever, a prediction for the picturesque,
and the dashing soldier Of fortune, with
his sword ever ready for action, has the
sympathy of the audience. For this ~ea-
son Robert B. Manteu has always been
a strong favorite. He is great eX-
pCnent Of the romantic drama, and the
position that Chas. fletcher and Lester
Wallack held in their day Mr.. Mantell
occupies now. Mr. Mantell produces
a Secret Warrant here with the same
company and stage settings with which
It has been given throughout the large
Eastern cities. His support is by eX-
perienced artists including Howard
Hall, Beverly w. Turner, Harry Saint
Maur, Stuart Robertson, Harry G. Kee-
nan. Albert Tavernier, Richard Garrick,

BLUE FLOODED.
A Future Record-Breaker Was
FoaIed Yesterday.

Mrs. John P. Callendine's mare Aba
dine yesterday foaled a colt to Diawood,
the crack two-year-old PAGER of last
year, whose record is 2:2112. The
youngster is marked exactly like Dia-

This is the first colt by son of Di-
ablo, and as he is bred in the purple
great things are expected of him. Aba
dine, the colts dam, is by Wilkesdale.
She is five years old, and has won pre-
miums year after year at the State
Fair.
If anything should happen to that
colt there would be weeping and wall

abundance.
MIR. Cleveland realizes that he cannot
afford to become a common trespasser

so he and his friend Samuel Stock I.

near Rosedale, on the farm OF Capt.
Foster w. Van Kirk. The tract con-
sists of So acres, for which 5000 was
paid. It is full OF rabbits and quail,
but Mr.. Cleveland intends to stock 1t

NO TERRITORIAL LEGISLATION.
Committee Report Three Territories
VIII Bar Legislative Measures.

Chicago. Jan. 21.--A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The fate of the territories now press
ing forward for statehood already has
been practically settled, and unless
the unexpected happens there win he
no territorial legislation at this ses-
sion. The House committee on terri
tcries, after giving hearings in advo-
cacy of admitting Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma into the sister
hood of states, fixed on next Wednes-
day for the vote on these measures.
There is little doubt of the result of
that meeting. The membership OF the
committee is fifteen. OF these Repub-
licans number eight. while there are
seven Democrats.
The Republicans viii vote solidly for
the admission Of any of the territories,
which will prevent the measures COM
ing before the House. The Senate
committee is likewise disposed. Chair
man Knox of the House committee on
territories has talked over the situa7
ton informally at various times with
members of the committees of eitheI
along the same line.
Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma
are the only regularly organized terri
tories now remaining. in view of the
parcelling out of Indian Territory
among the five civilized tribes, and the
only remaining territory legislation In
sight will be on the transition of
Alaska from district into single or
two territories, and the admission
into statehood of Indian Territory
after the five tribes are broken up and
the entire section reorganized.
AS to Alaska, Chairman Knox says
he does not believe the time is yet
ripe for making It territory. He be

of reaching any further agreements
with the FIVE tribes and the only way
of strengthening out the complication
is by congressional legislation.

TooTHBRUsHEs AID TO HEALTH.


Hospital: 1t is but n little thing, yet
on its proper use depends much of
the happiness OF modern man. Why
civilized teeth should be so rotten is
question which has often been debated.
and probably the true answer is
more complex than some would think.
Many good mothers IRE content to put
all toothache down to lollypops, but
that sugar in itself is not responsible
for bad teeth is proved by the splendid
"ivories" often possessed by negroes,
who practically live upon the sugar
cane and thrive upon II during the sea-
son when II is in maturity. Dental de-
cay is common enough, however, among
negroes in towns. and 1t seems clear
that the carries of the teeth which is
SO common among the most civilized
races is due not to any particular arti-
Gle of diet so much as to nutritiVe and
digestive changes imposed upon us by
our mode OF life. and to some extent
by the fact that by hook or crook we
do somehow manage TO live, notwlth-
standing our bad teeth, whereas in
state of nature the toothless man
soon dies.
Recognizing. then, that until the
time arrives when some great social
reformer either mends or ends our
present social conditions our teeth will
tend to rot. and that, whatever the pre-
disposing causes, the final act In the
production OF carries Is the Judgment of
microbes on and around the teeth, we
see that for long to come the tooth
brush will be a necessary II the health
II to be maintained 1t can only be by
the frequent use OF this little instru-
ment that those minute accumulations
can be removed which are at the root
Of so much mischief. a few elemen-
tary lessons In bacteriology would, we
fancy, gently startle many people and
certainly would show them the fulfil
ity of trusting to one scrub n day The
fact Is, that II people, instend of look
ing at the tooth brush from an esthetic
point OF view. and scrubblng away
with tooth powder @ to make their
front teeth white. would regard II
merely as an aid to cleanliness, they
would see that the time TO use II is
after meals and at night, not just in
the morning only. when the debris left
from the day before has been ferment-
ing and brewing acid all night through.
They Will also sece how inefficient an
instrument the common tooth brush Is
unless 1t is used with considerable
Judgment. One OF the secondary advan-
tages of spending a good deal OF money
on dentistry is that Mt least one learns
the value Of ones teeth. By the time
we have got them dotted over with
gold stoppings and gold crowns we
learn TO take care of them, even al
though that may involve the trouble
of cleaning them more than once day
and using perhaps more than one
brush for the purpose.
