DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
METROPOLITAN,

Mr.. Clay Clement is refreshing. Why more
of the leading stars Of America do not go out
of the rut of conventionality to attain that
same desirable condition is something that is
between themselves and their capabilities, and
is certainly loss to the people who pay their
money to see them.
1t may be fairly stated that Mr.. Clement
occupies a place all his own, in that he
has made the conventionalities Of the comedy
bend to the requirements of a play that is
unlike any other play in it's leading charac-
teristics, but which requires no strain of the
mind to take it all in and enjoy every line of
it, without being obliged to so.ve any problem
in ethics. Why they don't do it need not be
discussed: that they do not do it is proclaimed
nearly every time new play is annoInreI.

NEW SOFA CUSHIONS.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
The collection of cushions is one Of the
passing fads of the moment. 1t is. however,
a fad that gives good deal of pleasure and
which can be pursued for much or little
money, Just as the faddist elects. Not every
body knows a fact familiar to all college
boys who live in rooms that thirteen is
the lucky number for sofa cushions.
No window seat apartment should have
more or less than thirteen of these dewny
head rests that tuck with such delicious
ease in the nape of ones neck in the curve
of ones back or under the sharp point of
the elbow. TIE best cushions, of course. are
stuffed with real down and covered with soft,
slippery silk. The most novel and attractive
covers have a large plaid in the center of
which a little design must be worked in con-
trasting fosses. cushion OF pale green
plaided in brown and worked in brown silk
is most effective
A most fetching idea of the curtains of a
window seat is to cover them with national
flags. The hags of England, Germany.
France, China, and. of course, Old Glory, all
show UP well as cushion covers.
The autograph cushion is an old idea. as
the Photographic cushion is new The latter
is susceptible of infinite variety and charm.
1t should be made of soft colored silks on
each side of which is photoed the portrait
of some friend or even some favorite picture
cushion of dvinely lovely baby heads
is charming beyond words to describe and
the same can be said of cushion of ones
best girls. although no young man should be
encouraged to thus cheaper the pure counte-
nance OF any woman. young or old.

Arrived at Another WObbIe.

At what stage in the progress of the
nation toward state of war with
Spain have we arrived? Sixteen
months ago President Cleveland met
congress with message that distinctly
intimated that the time was nearing
when the interests of this country, re-
inforcing the dictates of humanity
would compel an intervention to bring
to an end the ravages of the war in
Cuba, conducted with all of Spains
traditional cruelty. Four months later
President Mckinley spoke in similar
terms. The Republican press, that
roundly censured President Cleveland
for his conservatism, perked it's ears in
expectation of the announcement by
their president of a more vigorous pol
icy. Woodford was sent to Spain with
what was said to be an utimatum.
Cubans of autonomy, a proposition
which. under the slightest analysis. re-
vealed the tenacious hand of tyranny
under specious pretext Of self-govern-
ment 1t failed dismally. The autono-
mists quarreled among themselves; the
Cubans rejected it with scorn.
Then came the destruction of the
Maine. The war fever mounted to
fighting heat. Even those who could
not accept the solution of an external
cause agreed that. if investigation
should determine such to have been the
cause, Spain could net avoid response
bility for it. 1t was an act of war. 1t
is incredible that a mine could have
been placed in Havana harbor by pri-
Vate individuals without the cognizance
of Spanish officials. The planting of an
explosive of sufficiently high power to
wreck the Maine as she was wrecked
is too great a work for private enter
prise or for secret accomplishment.
The investigation was made, and the
court hndS the cause to have been eX-
ternal, but fails to place the RESPONSE
bility. That is needless. The pre-
sumption follows the conclusion If a
mine destroyed the Maine, Spain is re-
sponsible for the placing Of the mine.
There is no escape from that. The re-
gency may not have ordered it; may
not have known of it; but the legal
maxim, who acts by another acts by
himself, applies here as we'll as in civil
matters.
And how is the emergency at which
we have arrived met? Hardly as we
can believe Cleveland would have met
1T. 1t is announced that the president
will send the report to congress ard will
ask an appropriation of half a million
with which to buy supplies of food to
be sent to the reconcentrados. A court
OF inquiry finds a fact that is not
only a casus belli, but an act of war
against this country, and the president
asks congress to let him send food to
the victims of Spanish efforts to sup
press the insurrection. We seem to
have arrived at the webbing stage
again. The president seems incapable
of taking either of the only two logical
positions, total abstention from any
concern with the instruction, or recog-
milton. not of Cuban belligerency, but
of Cuban independence.

1T WILL GO TO COMMITTEE.
No Chance for Debate Will BE Given
I'm the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The i'm
portant event of the week in the sen
ate will be the receipt of the presi-
dents message transmitting the report
on the Maine court of inquiry, which
is expected early in the day Monday
The present understanding is that the
report will be referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations and sent to the
printer without being read, or more
than incidentally referred to, and that
after this nothing more will be said
concerning it until the committee shall
have had a reasonable opportunity to
consider it, or until some further COM
munication may be received from the
president on the Cuban question.
There has been a general appeal from
the administration to the senate to
avoid undue agitation of the Cuban
subject until the president can have
an opportunity to formulate a policy,
and the senate appears quite disposed
to comply with the request. Still there
is no doubt that the senate would grow
very FESTIVE under delay. Senator
Money expects to make a speech to-
morrow on the lines of those of Sem
ators Proctor, Callinger and Thurston,
based upon his observations in Cuba.
What further discussion there may
be during the week of the Cuban sit
uation will depend so largely upon flu
ture developments that it is useless to
discuss the proba biiities. If the pres
ident should make a recommended ton
or the committee on foreign relations
report, the senate at once would be-
come the center of an animated dis
cusSion, the result of which would be
some radical declaration against Spain.
The problem now is to hold the en-
preston of opinion down to the mini
mum, pending the negotiations of the
president and the deliberations Of the
committee.
There is very little heart in the SEN
ate for any other business than that
relating to Cuba, and the probabilities
are that comparatively little will be
done, and that the sessions will be
comparatively short.
Aside from Senator Moneys speech,
there is a special order providing for
the taking up of the private pension
bills on the calendar Monday, begin
ming at 1 o'clock. Tuesday at o'clock
eulogies will be delivered on the late
Senator Earle. Of South Carolina SEN
ator Cafferys speech on the quaran.
tine bill. which has already run for
two days, has not been completed, and
it may be resumed during the week.
1t may be said in general way, how
ever, that Cuba will occupy almost
the entire thought if it is not the sub
ject of the speech of the senate for the
week, and while it may be possible
to practically suppress audible refer
ence to the subject. it is most likely
to find opportunity for some vent This
opportunity will probably be afforded
on a resolution for the appropriation
of money to relieve the distress of the
Cuban TecOncentradoS.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
probably will be reported to the SEN
ate Monday, and taken up for consid-
GRAFTON later in the week.

TOO MANY EAGLES.
The Big, Fierce Birds Steal From
the Barn Yards of Connecticut
Farmers.
the New York Sun.

Correspondence the New York Sun.
Eagles have become a pest to farm
ers in Connecticut this winter. The
holiness and fiercenssS with which they
have been preying upon farm animals
are remarkable. At the same time
they are SO wary that few of them
are shot
ugly bald-headed eagle in the Garde-
ner's lake country, in New London
county, which has made such a nuis-
ance of itself in the matter of stealing
lambs and poultry from the farmers all
winter that a special effort has been
made to slay it, but thus far it has
succeeded in avoiding the guns of a
score of hunters and evaded any num-
Der of pole traps which have been set
and tempting1y baited up in the air for
it.
J. c. Newton, foreman of the Fishers
Island farm, killed big bald eagle on
the island on Thursday. 1t had become
exhausted from some unknown reason
and fallen in the road. Mr.. Newton
leaped from his wagon and attacked
the eagle with the butt of his whip.
The eagle turned on him fiercely, and
it was some time before he could kill it.
The bird had a spread of wings of six
feet four inches, and was beautifully
marked, having a white head, neck and
tail, and the rest of its body being Of
a mixed brown. Fishers island is also
being haunted by a great golden eagle,
attracted there by the large poultry
farms.
A fierce fight between a bald eagle
and a hen, which, strange to say, did
not result in the death of the hen, oc-
CURED on Dennis PerSo's farm in
Kent. The hen boldly met the eagle,
which dropped like a plummet from
at lively rate for a moment, and the
eagle seemed somewhat nonplused by
it's reception. Then the hen suddenly
flew into the woodshed, leaving her
tail feathers in the clutches of the
glorious bird. The hen is still in good
health.
A bald eagle was shot while
hanging over James Ways farm in
Lyme last week. An appetite for tur-
key led this specimen of the king of
birds into trouble. While it was swoop-
ing down upon the turkey rooSt Mr..
Way poured the contents of an old
musket into it. breaking one wing. 1t
fell into the yard. Topping and biting
al everything within reach of its wick
ed looking beak. This bird was one OF
the largest ever shot in Connecticut.
1t measured feet 10 inches from tip
to tip of wings. and had for several
months been pest to the farmers of
Lyme.
On Goose island in Long Island
Sound, James Monteith, a duck hunter
shot a large bald eagle and brought it
to the ground. AS he stepped forward
to pick it up, thinking it was dead, he
was attacked by the bird and badly
scratched. Before he finally killed it
his clothing was torn into shreds.
This eagle measured 61s feet across the
wings.
