This continual harping about Dewey
for President is getting tiresome. The
Admiral very senslb!y informs the peo-
pie that he knows when he is in his
proper place, and that while he may do
we'll enough in the navy, he is not
fitted for the Presidency. He undoubt-
edly tells the truth about himself, and
is desiring OF praise for not allowing
the fool worshipers OF heroes to Hob,
sonize him.

Hunting in Cuba will be fashion
able sport some OF these days, because
Cuba is great country, and the kind
OF game found there gives the best OF
sport. There are deer, which come to
the edge o! the openings and clearings
at dusk and dawn to feed. Countless
flocks of pigeons and doves bend the
branches OF the trees by their weight.
There are long, thick snakes, fit to try
a sportsman's skill with gun or rifle
snakes that furnish beautifully mottled
skins for trophies. Wild boars live In
the dense wooden brush and it takes a
hardy man to face wounded one,
There are wild dogs, too, and many
birds OF the most beautiful plumage
Wild fowls are found on all the streams
in the thickets live large birds, chiefly
guinea hens. Incidentally herdes ol
stray outlaws may add to the excite
ment OF hunt during the next few
years.

time has been spared in securing such.
The action of the play is said to be
amusing and the situations perpleXing.

bers are introduced, including songs.

Valentine Theatre.
1.-THE Man from Mexico" which
comes to the Valentine Monday eve
ming next for three nights and We'd
nesday matinee, is q life study upon
the humorous effect of abject misery.
Willie Golfers, BepjImin Fitzhugh,
as first revealed to the audience, is a
gentleman who, while he might be
guilty of an escapade of the kind that
society always condones if you are not
caught In the act, could be depended
upon to choose his associates with the
greatest circumspection, yet the second
act finds him imprisoned on Blackwell s
Island, the companion in misery of
various undesirable people. Nor is
this Fitzhugh cheerful in the farce OF
misery and misfortune. He is funny,
but he is funny because OF his abiect
misery, and he remains so TO the end,
because he makes an honest effort to
convince his wife that the thirty days
he spent in Jail on the island were spent
on trip to Mexico. The comedy OF
( 1.-THE Man from Mexico" is direct, posi-
tive and effectual, and if any fault
could be found with the play it would
be that the bumor is too continuous
| for rest.
Willie Collier is comedian whose
methods have steadily improved since
he first came into notice and now there
are none who might not profit by the
observation OF the effective manner in
which he makes points where none
exist, his clever enunciations and his
reposeful certainty. Mr.. Collier is
capable OF anything and it needs moi
the gift OF prophecy to predict the
eminence that will be his future.
