"The Real Widow Brown

At the Grand opera house, Hazleton,
tomorrow evening, will appear the
musical comedy, 1.-The Real Widow
Brown" which is under the well known
management of A. Q. Scammon, who
has under his direction some OF the most
successful plays on the road. 1.-THE
Real Widow Brown" created a great
sensation when first produced abroad
and has met with unprecedented success
in this country, where it sprang into in
Simultaneous popularity. The real widow
is charming impersonation of her class.
The mistakes and complications which
arise from another endeavoring to fill
her position are ludicrous in the cx-
treme. The entire company is compos-
ed OF clever people; the comedy is full of
clean, wholesome fun, nothing sugges-
tive or vulgar in the whole play; the
specialties are neat, and of a high order
of merit, everything frst-class having
been selected regardless of expense to
the management. The opportunity of
seeing them should not be neglected.
''The Real Widow Brown will charm
all who pass the evening with her.
Performance commences promptly at
s o'clock. Ample time to take cars for
all points on the North Side.

THE PADDED PAY ROLL,
Mr.. Wanamaler. in Reply to Chair

Records of Some of the Men Who

MT. Whnnmaker. IN Reply to Chair
man Ellxin, Gives the Names and
Records of Some of the Men Who ;
Were on the Roll.
In his Media speech Mr.. Wanamaker
said:
chairman Elkin, for shame. Dare
you stand up and assert that all the
politicians who were on the padded
pay roll performed any service to the
state? Dare you assert that Philip
Gori, of Shechequin. Bradford county,
who was appointed to pay a political
debt the machine owed to the now
discarded Louis Piollet, and who drew
from the padded pay roll $10S0, ever
performed any service to the state?
Dare you assert that James r.
Greiner, of Luzerne county, now serv-
ing sentence in the Eastern penitenti-
airy for murder, who, as a political re-
ward from the machine, received nearly
$1,000 from the padded pay roll, and
who visited Harrisburg but three days
during the session. performed any SER
vice to the state?
Dare you assert that Jonathan
Jones, of Schuylkill county, who testi-
fled under oath in libel case at Potts
Vile in November, 1897. that his name
was placed on the padded pay roll by
Senator Coyle, a Quay senator, who
drew for him 5000, though he, Jones,
was not once in Harrisburg during the
session, performed any service to the
state?
II have in my possession other names
that were on the padded pay roll, and
the amounts of salary they received,
and stand ready to furnish before a
court of record indisputable proof that
these men performed no labor for the
state, and that the money was paid
as political rewards.
II am discussing Mr.. Elkin as a
public official, and not as a private in
dividual and all interrogatories are ad-
dressed to him as the official head of
an organization.
chairman Elkin, though you have
been declared an unfaithful state ofil-
cial and have been dismissed for cause
from public office, and though your at
tempted defense is a complete confess
sion of your guilt, and your eXplana-
tions, in the light of historical facts,
have convicted you of the grossest mis-
representations, still, under the prin-
ciple of law that grants immunity to
a coplotter who turns states evidence,
and gives testimony that will result
to the good of the public, there may
yet be left a chance for you to save
yourself, in some degree, If you will
give to the people Of this state the
inside history of that fatal indemnity
bond transaction"

Washington, March 19.-An
air of suspense was noticeable
in the navy department due to
the approach of the time for the
delivery of the report of the
court of inquiry. 1t is not
known just when the document
will come to Washington, but
it is expected here in the course
of two or three days.
A cabinet officer expressed
the belief that the report will
require careful consideration
on the part of the president and
his cabinet before being given
to the public, which would seem
to postpone publication to some
time about the middle of next
week.

PRETTY POLO SPEAKS.

Washington, March 49,
Senior Polo de Bernabe, the new
Spanish Minister, was discuss
ing the relations between his
country and the United States
this afternoon when your cor
respondent asked him this quss-
ton:
IF the United States should
recognize the independence of
Cuba, would Spain regard such
action as a casus bellif"

ter responded. 1T would, OF
course, cause great indignation
and would result in the relations
of the two countries becoming
very much strained"
but suppose the United
States should intervene to end
the warf"
Il presume the only interven
ton that could be attempted
would be armed Intervention,
Seno Polo said. THAT would
certainly be a casus belli."

portant declaration yet mad,

The ooxernments shame.

The memorial of the Cherokee
delegation asking for the removal
of intruders contains the following
in reference to those parties who
have been paid for their improve
ments, or have been rendered pay
ment for the same, but yet main
tain their holdings in the face of
the most solemn assurance of the
government that they would be re-
moved:
After the Cherokee nation
made valuable concessions in the
before e-mentiOned agreement, and
after she paid some of the parties
and rendered the money to the re-
mainder, and after these parties
were agsin rejected by the Dawes
commission and the courts, the
United States have failed and still
fail to give relief to the Cherokee
nation, by failing to remove these
people and still permit them to re-
tain the money paid them by the
CherOkee nation, and to occupy
the lands and improvements for
which they were paid. The Cher
okee nation is not permitted to re-
move them and the United States
will not.
1t seems to us crime for this
great government to compel a weak
and defenseless people to part with
their lands and their honest money
and then not carry out its part of
the obligation assumed in the trans
action"
The report calls the govern
ment's action a crime, and indeed
it is a crime utterly unworthy OF
the power which forced the Indians
to enter into the agreement in
question, and which claims to bt
their guardian and protector.
