AT THE THEATER.
"EI Captain" Well Sung by "A Good
CnmnnnN.

"El Capltan' wen sung by a GOOD
Company.
Sousa's comic opera "El Captain" was
given at the theater last night. The opera
was heard here last season with De Wolf
Hopper, Edna Wallace and an excellent
cast The production last night was not
of course, as good as Hoppers.
William c. Vaudeville was Ell Captain,
E. p. Wilks, Potso and Lillian Harper
was Estrada. Kate Michelena, who sang
the role of Isabel, had decidedly the best
voice in the company.
The music was good and the chorus was
well drilled, the ensembles being very we'll
DONE There was very little new in the
way of gags and hits.
Tomorrow night the colored artists of
the city will compete for fame and repu-
tation in a champion cake walk, com
petition military drill, and a vaudeville of
musical artists, solo and quartette sing
ing, fancy dancing and the like. For the
first time Brown and Motifs will appear in
the same cake walk. The existing rivalry
between these two will make this an in
teresting feature OF. the programme which
is composed of many more no less attrac-
tive.
The sale of seats for 1.-THE Little Min
ister'' win begin this morning The play
win be given Monday night. Undoubtedly
this play holds the record for phenomenal
business. The engagement in New York
extended over a period of 300 nights and
to houses at every performance that pack
ed the theater 10 the doors. 1t was only
taken off to give the company a rest
Since the comedy was sent on the road
the business it done in New York has been
repeated wherever 1t has been SEEN The
Boston engagement was most remarkable.
Il was necessary to give extra matinees at
the Hollis Street theater during its run
there in order to accommodate the people
desirous of seeing the play.

:. Women who suffer with disorders pecu-
liar TO their sex should write to DR.. Pierce

tul examinations are generally needless.

Completing the Rolls.

Havana, March l3.-The only OBJ
stacle now in the way of paving off the
Cuban troops is the completion of the
rolls, work which is being fastened
by lnspector-General Roloff. He says
that in some cases the rosters of the
commands must be created, as the old
rosters are either missing, or too de.
fective to be useful. He points out
that the insurgents often have no
paper, pens or ink.
General Gomez explains that 5000
commissioned and and 10000 nom
commissioned officers are relatively
large numbers in an army of 80, 600
privates, but that these officers, in
many cases, received THEN appoint
ments because the Cubans have had no
other way of recognizing bravery and
stimulating enthusiasm.

To Govern Cuba,

Washington, March 13.-The ad
ministration is contemplating change
in some features Of the government oil
Cuba. 1t is probable that the military
government will. to a certain extent,
be replaced by a civil government. The
head OF the government must, OF
course. remain military. but the plan
in contemplation is to have civil Off.
GERS in place of military men in the
cabinet and subordinate positions.
1t is believed that experts in differ
ent lines, such as finance and revenue
and the management OF the general
business of the island and of the differ
ent municipalities will get along more
smoothly than the army officers.

Frustrated.
St. Scholastique, Quebec, March IS.
Mrs. Cornelia Poirier and Samuel
Parslow were hanged here this morn
ing. Life was declared extinct in eight
minutes. The necks OF both were
broken.
Mrs. Poirier, who said farewell to
her relatives last night, was firm and
collected throughout. She took part
in the mass said at 5 o'clock this morn
ing and on the scaffod shook hands
with the hangman without a tremor.
The crowd inside the Jail jeered at her,
but even then her composure did not
desert her, and at the suggestion of the
executioners he turned and faced the
jeerers and stood erect and prayed to
the last.
Parslow was more dead than alive
when the drop fell. The condemned
were taken to the scaffold separately,
and were prevented from seeing each
other by screen placed between them.
Six hundred men witnessed the exc
cution. Outside the Jail were 1900
more, who with beam tried to batter
down the gate of the jailyard and could
only be made to desist by the provin-
cial police firing their revolvers in the
air.
Mrs. Poirier and Samuel Parslow,
her reputed lover, were hanged for the
murder of lsadore Porier. the woman g
husband, in 1897.
