"The Sporting Duchess., ;,

The celebrated actress, Ffolliott Paget,
will play the part of the Sporting Duchess in
the play of that name which is to be pre-
sented tomorrow evening at Kaier's opera
house, Mahanoy City. There is no actress in
this country who could so admirably portray
the character of this eccentric English lady,
which was taken from life. The original
was the Duchess of MOntrose, an eccentric
titled lady, who used to patronize the race
track, owned large stable of race horses,
wore very loud costumes, placed her own
bets, and was to all intents and purposes a
typical sporting character. Miss Paget, who
is celebrated in rollicking and robust roles,
is seen to great advantage in this part. This
will be the dramatic event of the present
season in this county and no one should miss
seeing this mammoth production.

THE INTELLlGENCER.
WHEELING, MAY II. 1908.
The Critical Stag. Reached.

In the absence OF official Information,
which iS properly withheld, concerning
the plans OF the Atlantic s~quadrons and
the Significance of their present move
ments, nh predictions until develop
ments occur r merely speculative.
The very logic OF the movements and
the situation, however, seems to point
to q plan to force the Spanish fleet to
on issue as soon as It al be overtaken,
and that much as 1t may desire, It can
not escape trying conclusions with our
fighting ships unless It returns to Spain.
So long as SPANS forces remain on this
side OF the Atlantic every endeavor will
be made to dispose OF them. The con-
dition Is now a waiting one pending the
coming together Of the opposing fleets,
and II that event does not come on
within o day or 50 It will not be the
fault OF Admiral Sampson.
The general impression, both In Eu-
rope and America, is that the battle
which seems inevitable will be In Its
very nature of q decisive character, and
upon Its result will depend the length
8of time that the war will continue. II
the Spanish fleet should sustain disas-
ter Spain might as we'll throw up her
hands, SO far as Cuba is concerned, and
sue for peace, either through an appeal
for mediation to the powers Of Europe.
