New York. May S.-Current things
are terminating at the theaterS. But

stage a week from Tuesday at the
Lyceum with Empire players led by
Miss Millward.
''Zaza" will be prolonged to the mid

"COlinette" provides fun of polite

the less amusing to suitable audiences.

THE Cuckoo will have no successor
at Wallack's this season. 1t is a note
worthy fact that women are in larger
proportion in the audience than is usual
with farces. A ready reason for this lies
in the manner in which the theme of
conjugal deception is treated. The hus-
bands escape is a complete failure, and
it is the wife who, though she really
does no fragrant work. is the success
full rogue. And the women seem to like
to see that.
Because She Loved Him So'' is the
second of the two farces which will
cover the entire Frohman season at the

G. G. GAGE STRICKEN.
Wealthy Topeka PhilanthOpist
Suffers a Stroke of
Paralysis.

G. G. Gage was taken with para
1ytic stroke Tuesday afternoon, and is
now confined to his bed at his residence
on Van Buren, street.
Mr.. Gage was in the office of his ply
sician, DR.. L. Y. Grubbs, when the at
tack came on. DR.. Grubbs noticed the
symptoms of paralysis and summoning
a. cab, took Mr. Gage home. The para
lysis attacked his left side, and is most
noticeable in the left side of his face
and in his left hand
Today he is resting well, and DR..
Grubbs states that he will likely re-
cover although a stroke of the kind is
always dangerous in the case of a man
of Mr.. Cages age. He is able to talk,
but it is with difficulty.
Mr.. Gage has been in poor health for
the past two years, but he has been
feeling as we'll as usual during the past
few days until this stroke came on. He
attended the golden wedding of DR.. and
Mrs. Fisher on Monday and seemed in
especially good spirits at that time.

not only of Havana, but of the entire
island. Gen. Maxine Gomez is a con-
slant visitor and a welcome guest of
this lady and dimes with her from three

assist in its councils. 1t is believed by
persons who are in a position to know

reached by Madame Cespedes and Gen.
Gomez regarding Cuba'S future and the
first real president of the proposed re-

action of the assembly in assailing his
course it was considered that his can

strong opposition.
The result of conversations at Mad

they expect that American occupation
of the island will end before next sum-

represented that Carlos Cespedes pos
sesses every quality that is likely TO
make him popular with the masses
throughout the entire island. He is
about 40 years old, and is unmarried
