Military Honors VIII BE Paid to th'
Dead Soldier.


Dead Soldier.
= The funeral of Sergeant Dobson, will
take place tomorrow morning from the
Eastern Presbyterian Church, Rev. DR..
T. c. Easton, officiating.
After the furloughing of the regiment
Monday, Capt Hodges called Company
to attention and officially announced
the death of its first sergeant
Instantly, every head was uncovered
and strong men who had borne their own
burdens and sorrows without f1inching,
were seen to be in tears, for their late
sergeant was a friend to every man In
the company. His thought was of his
men," as he proudly called them, and
in his delirium they were his constant
thought, and he repeatedly called the en-
tire roll.
The company decided to attend the fun
eral in a body The pallbearers will be
selected from the company and the usual
military honors will be paid to the dead
soldier.
While the company was assembled, Col
Harries and other officers of the regi-
ment came to the captain and paid trib-
utes of respect to the la,e sergeant, who
had won the respect and admiration of
every officer by his fine military qualities
and sturdy character.
The dead soldier was a member of the
Eastern Presbyterian Church and Sun
day school, and when his death was an
nounced last Sunday at the close of the
sermon. a deep grief was seen on every
face, for he was universally loved by
young and old.

Return of Volunteers.
The citizens of Takoma Park, at an en-
thusiastic meeting held on last Friday
evening, decided to accord the returning
volunteers of their town a public well
come
Owing to the fact that all the Takoma
volunteers did not enlist in the District
Regiment, but in the regiments of sew
eral States, and as they will not all be
mustered out at the same time, II was not
decided at the citizens meeting when the
reception is TO be held. This question
was left in the hands of the executive
committee, which was appointed at the
same meeting.
The executive committee will meet on
next Mondey evening at the home of
Mayor Shedd, and will set the time and
arrange the details for the reception.
The committee is as follows: Mayor S.
| S. Shedd chairman: Capt. Lay, Mr. L. NJ.
Moores, Mr.. ]. B. kinnear, Mr.. II. l..
knight. Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Bennett,
Mrs Shedd, and Mrs. Perry.

| nently as candidate for the Congress
sional nomination in that district.

JOHN vIcToRY,s ABSENCE.
Interest Here Over His Reported
Disappearance From Toledo.


Disappearance From Toledo.
Considerable interest was manifested
here yesterday among local letter carriers
over the reported disappearance from To-
ledo, where the annual convention of the
National Association OF Letter Carriers
is being held, of John F. Victory, Sec
retary of the association. and employed in
the postoffice here.
The report reached Washington yester-
day that the investigating committee,
which had been created for the purpose of
going over the books of the National As
ISOLATION for the past eight years, during
most of which time Mr.. Victory has been
secretary, was compelled to give up its
work, owing to the failure of Mr.. Vic
tory to attend the meeting Saturday night
as he had promised to do.
Mr.. Victory left Washington last Mon
day TO attend the convention. He had
not been in the best of health, it is said
and had decided not to run for the office
of secretary again. After the investigat-
ing committee was appointed. he attend
ed one of their meetings last Thursday
and promised to meet with them on the
next day. He did not appear at the meet
-A'SI 10 lle re-
ports received here yesterday has not
been seen in Toledo since Thursday. 1t
Is said that since September / the ex-
secretary as E. j. Cantwell has been ap-
pointed in Victory's place, has received
N,lOo.5S, of which 81 050 was in the form of
certified check from the New York
branch. Payment on this check has been
stopped. Victory stopped at the ST.
IharIes Hotel in Toledo, and Ii is claim
ed that some Detroit delegates to the
convention saw him there Friday.
About midnight Sunday night Mrs. Vic
tory received dispatch from her hus-
pand, dated Toledo, as follows: "Ex-
pect me home late Tuesday or Wednes-
day morning. All is WELL"
reporter called today at Mrs.
Nictory's house. 40S Second street north
west, and found her entertaining some
friends, and apparently not at all wor-
rleu by the report. She said that her
husband had not been well. and that his
health might readily account for the
iact that he absented himself from the
meetings. She referred to the telegram
ana said that she expActed her husband
10 return to-day, or tomorrow morning
al the latest.
Victory was a member of the local
pranch, No. IA, of the association and
pears an excellent reputation among his
iellow-carriers. Several of them were
sen last night, and all expressed com
plete confidence in his integrity and be-
heNed that the report of his disappear-
aiiee would prove groundless.

AT THE TKEATERS.
NntionaI-.The Girl From Paris.

NAtlOnal-''Ihe G1rI from farls.'
For the second time within year Rice's
Girl From Paris" began return en-
gagement last night, and, save for the
fact that the opening of the Nationals
season had brought a good house, the
piece had not changed for the better. The
assembled audience appeared to enjoy
the performance hugely, and by continu-
| GUS laughter gave its consent to much
| of the buffoonery and coarseness with
which the comedy abounds. Some of
the wittier lines and catcher bits of
| music were family applauded, too, and
| anyone who listened to the house, rath-
| er than to the company that was amusing
| 1t, would have commanded the latter un-
reServedly.
The cast seen last night in ''The Girl
From Paris however, gave room for but
scant praise when critically examined.
Not one of the original players remained,
and, the changes having been made rath-
er for the sake of economy than because
of lack of merit in the primary organiza-
ton, few of the new people equaled their
predecessors. There was in the rendering
given a notable lack of ease and smooth
ness. The girls were pretty, as Rice girls
always are, and some of the individual
performers were clever-perhaps partially
| in contrast with their co-workers. Della
| Stacey. who played the title role has not
| the beauty of Clara Lipman, the chic of
| Olive Redpath, the grace of Anita Wilson
| or the voice OF Georgia Caine, all of whom
have been seen in the part.
Sydney de Grey was gratefully delicate
| in his portrayal of the fair Parisienne'c
accomplice, and J. c. NARROW could no.
| have been improved upon as the grun old
major who headed a sadly prejudirf d
| jury in the case of Bon Bon VS.. Dingle
| Horace Newman looked the role of Eben
| eZer Honeycomb without acting It, while
| Lee Martin was consistently pleasing as
! his wife, and Maud Daniels becominely
! dainty as his daughter. The performance
| of George Mitchell was, as some one has
| said. exceedingly ..tenorish'' but the
| young fellow sang well and succeeded in
| pleasing the house, while Olive Wallace
was only fair Ruth, Charles Drake
was corpulent and far from funny Din
| gle, and Harry Hermsen made Hans the
| proprietor of the Spa wonderfully augh-
! able. Maud de Leon danced entertain
| ingly. The chorus and orchestra were very
| good indeed and the entire entertainment
| such as would give one a fair idea of
| what the work of an English playwriting
| syndicate is like.

THE BLACK HORSEMEN.
A Monument VIII BE Erected TO the
Troopers of the Ninth Cavalry.

Steps are being taken by a number of
colored men and organizations here TO
raise funds for the erection of monu-

ored troopers of the Ninth United States
Regular Cavalry, who were killed before
Santiago.
Major Robert H. Key will be asked to
take the presidency of this memorial as

Charles Early. one of the promoters of
the plan. said today:
THE colored people should certainly
honor their heroes of the Ninth Black
Cavalry, who so bravely charged to the
rescue of the Rough Riders at Santiago,
when the cowboys found thems lives am
bUshed and in hornets nest. 1t was a

Column bia-"The Hula Giri.v

THE Hula Girl" held the stage last
night at the Columbia Theater This
clever burlesque, by the Brothers Harris.
ent production is so different that those
who saw il at the Lafayette will be en-
tertained by going again. The feminine
parts are now played by actresses, in
stead. of actors, and the effect is much
prettier and more picturesque. The or
ches,ra is also in good order, and con-
tributes its full share 10 the delights of
the evening, A. p. Harris. who directs
the musicians, achieving some most cred
liable results. The score has a snap and
every number is bright, catchy and me-
lodious. The song, 'Oh. Golden Sun,
and the marches are especially taking.
James Cathell, as Lily O'Killarney, was
most mirth- provoking in every way, and
Paul W. Evans proved himself a good
comedian in playing Kodak. Edna
Scott-Smith, who sang the Princess Koy-
lani, and Melville Hensey, as KapiaIani,
won several encores in their joint scenes,
while Marie Howe. as Baby Truth, prov
ed herself a vivacious and fetching SOU
brette and was obliged to repeat some
of her singing and dancing "by request" :"
William A. Morselrs portrayal of s. B.
Jole was a good burlesque of the Ha-
waiian president, and W. II. Harris dld
some good work with the ITnes of Rover
Greveland, though he cannot be said TO
look very much like the distinguished
original. Clarence V. Howard, as Spreck-
| ticies, proprietor of the Sugar Trust Ho-
| tel, and Francis II. DooIey, as Officer
| O'Hoo!igan. provoked many laughs. The
work of the chorus was good in the main,
though the makeup of the Kanakas left
much to be desired. One of the things
| especially notable was the harmonious
way in which the varied elements of the
| company combined to make picturesque
scenes 1t is seldom that members of an
amateur organization show themselves to
| have been so well drilled.
