LOS ANGELES THEATER.-(Advance
Announcement On Monday and Tues
day nights next, eighty or more fair
maids and matrons will pose as minstrels.
There are several fine solos. duets, quar-
tets, etc, and there are six end ladies.
whose jokes and antics are expected to
keep the audience in roars of laughter.
This entertainment has been given in many
cities of this state. In Oakland, Sacra-
mento Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and other
places it was pronounced the best amateur
entertainment ever given In each, and far
superior along every line to mnstrels given
by men. The entertainment is given here
for the benefit of the building fund of the
Boys and Girls Aid home. Only about
$1,000 out of a total of $4,000 remains to be
raised in order to finish the building, now
In course Of construction.
The cause for which the entertainment
Is given, coupled with the fact that 1t is
pure, refined entertainment, that ministers
and Christian people generally endorse,
should make this the greatest event OF the
season and cause 1t to play to crowded
houses.

ment). The unenviable situation OF
a man who Is too much married forms
the pivot around which the action OF Mrs
Pacheco's new comedy. which Is to be pro-
duced at the Burbank theater tomorrow
night, revolves. The play which is entitled
''Wilder's Wives" comes with big eastern
reputation as a cleverly constructed and
amusing farcical comedy, full of witty lines,
and abounding In ludicrous situations. The
principal character in the play. David
Wilder, an American who leads butter
fly life, finds himself beset with multi
tude of difficulties owing to his matri-
monial ventures. His attentions to the
fair sex arouse the jealousy of his first
wife, Zoe de Brissac, a French actress, and
eventually cause a separation. Wilder
then returns to America and shortly after.
being informed of the death of his first
wife, he again marries, this time an Ameri-
can lady. The reported death of wife num-
ber one proves untrue, and the unfortunate
Wilder, as a means of extricating himself
from the decidedly unpleasant predica-
ment in which he finds himself, pretends
to be insane, and in the end succeeds in
breaking the bonds that bind him to wife
number two, and then throwing aside the
mask of insanity is reunited to his first
choice. "Wilder's Wives will be preced-
ed by clever one-act sketch by Thomas
M. Hunter entitled Mothers Ring"
The courtesies of the theater have been
extended to the officers and men of the
Seventh regiment for Monday evening
when 1t is expected large number of the
boys will be present.

Olga Nethersole

{ Speaking of Miss Olga Nethersole's per-
formance In 1.-THE Termagant," Mr.. Will
liam Archer says: Miss Nethersole has
in process Of time developed a theory of
art so fundamentally different from mine
that I feel discussion to be hopeless. To
her, it would appear. art in general means
the negation of nature, and acting in par
ticular means resolute, indefatigable, sys-
tematic affectation. One other English
speaking actress-Mrs. Brown Potter
shares Miss Nethersole's theory and EMU
lates her practice. Perhaps there Is some
thing to be said for the theory; in Chinese
esthetics, I understand It holds the field.
The only European artist of distinction who
gives it any countenance Is Sarah Bern
hardt-a great actress, no doubt. but great
In spite Of her tricks and mannerisms. not
in virtue of them. It Is the flaws in Nine.
Bernhardt's method that Miss Nethersole
seizes upon and exaggerates: and she there
by commands the applause of certain crit
les and a certain public. Even I can re-
spect the ingenuity the labor, the eiithu-
siasm which she puts into her work; but,
alas! I cannot admire or take pleasure in
the result"

To the Editor of The Republican.
As a regular reader of your valua-
bic journal for many years | have
failed to see mention in your columns
OF a single private pension bill being
passed or even introduced in Congress
by any Representative from the
Sixth Congressional District since
Judge McComas was our Representa-
tive.
Now there is no question but that
we have in Gorrett county meritor-
ious claimants for pensions which
need legislative action for their re
lief. ! notice in other states that
there are scores OF private pension
bills passed for the relief of some de
serving soldier, but in our state I fail
to hear of any. We have in this end
of the county several cases which
merit the help Of our representatives
to give them justice, but it seems
that none are willing. All were will
ing to have their aid from 81 to 50,
and ever since at the baliot-b box, but
never willing to do justice to some
old veteran with one foot in the grave
and the other in the aims house. |
could call your attention to many
cases n our community, but will on
ly cite you to one whom many of our
people know, namely, Thaddeus
Glotfelty, who comes from one of the
best families in the county and who
was a noble soldier, as many of his
comrades VIII testify. During the
progress Of the wal, he was led like a
lamb to ne slaughter and was un-
justly courtmartialed bya prejudiced
officer who had all pay and allowances
due and not due taken off, and there
fore he cannot draw a pension under
the existing laws. After three years
Of noble service for his country Mr..
Glotfelty, in his declining years, can
not receive a pension, it matters not
what his disabilities are for, the want
of private bill to remov this unjust
courtmartial, which he is able to
prove by u score of witnesses to be
whollyunjust.
This is only one instance. l could
cite many more where it is absolutely
necessary to have legislation before
justice is done.

of Congress | have noticed where
hundreds of private pensions bills
pass every week but they are all for

OAKLAND, Md, Dec. 10th, 1898
To the Editor OF The Republican.
Please allow we space in your val
liable paper to say word about the
bnrning of the club house or hunting
camp on Meadow Mountain.
Long before my earliest recollec-
tions the original settlers, ,amongwhom
were Meshack Browning, Augustine
Friend, Holmes Riley, Thos. Wilson,
Thornton Gilpin, Joshua Mason, John
Dewitt, the Enlows, Chisholmns and
mahy others, who by nature inherited
fondness for the wo ods and the ex-
citement of the chase, would annually
resort to this section of the country to
quietly enjoy that sport for which
they have all become famous. They
roamed these woods surrounded by
all kinds of game and wild animals en-
joying the same freedom and without
the slightest restraint from anyone,
never feeling that they were invading
or trespassing upon the rights of 9th
ers. This fondness for the woods, the
game, and the dog was handed down
and inherited by the children and
childrens children of those old men
and the custom has been perpetuated
and kept UP from that day 30 this.
In 1867, | remember it well, old Nc
Henry Sines with his three nephews
Sol, John and Polk Sines, went into
what was then the wilds of Meadow
Mountain and built a hunting camp
which has been known ever since as
the "Old Sines Camp At that day
deer and bear abOunded in that sec
tion, and turkeys, pheasants and
other small game did not attract the
attention of the hunter at all. This
camp remained there and was used
as the common property of all hunt
ers; indeed many persons visited it
out Of curiosity until about 1880, when,
while as it were, it was keeping watch
as the silent sentinal over the scenes
Of the past, it was destroyed by the
torch of the incendiary. 1t was again
rebuilt by John and Arch Dewitt, as
sisted by the writer, and one or two
others. This in turn met the same
fate in the spring of 1898. In the fol-
lowing fall few gentlemen conceived
the idea of forming social club ana
after securing the site from the par
ties owning the land upon which we
proposed to build, erected Il commo-
thousand comfortable house, where
we hoped to enjoy the sports of our
youth-a fondness for which almost
all persons of this section inherit, but
we were doomed to disappointment.
The midnight incendiary, enboldened
by his escape from punishment for his
former acts, after the necessary arti-
cles of convenience had been placed
in the house and before it had
been entirely completed, as if to defy
all law and order, the same or like
fiendish scoundrel applied the torch
and the hunters camp on Meadow
Mountain was for third time de-
stroyed by fire.

to this section to, in a way, renew
