Sir Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and
the London Lyceum Company have
created quite a sensation in New York
in their presentation of Sardou's "Ro-
bespierre," as it has been rendered into
English by Laurence Irving, the son of
the distinguished actor, and himself a
member of the Lyceum Company. The
stage setting of the play Is equal to
anything that has been done in this
country under Sir Henry Irving's man
agement. and was nigh perfect in de-
tail. Particularly impressive were the
scenes in the courtyard of Port Libre,
filled with people awaiting the gull
lotine, and that one which represented
the fete of the supreme being.
The play introduces Robespierre just
after he has attained the summit Of
his power, after Danton and Marat
have fallen. and when the clouds are
beginning to gather that in the end
break upon and overwhelm the man
who has shed the blood of thousands
of his fellows with demoniacal indiffer-

is that of Clarisse de Malucon, the
mother of Robespierre's son, Olivier,

teal club met last night in Common
wealth hall, at 566 Main street, and af-
ter a long and enthusiastic meeting, the
entire state republican ticket was in
dorsed. In the Endorsement of candi-
dates in the local wards for representa-
tives there were several warm argu-
ments, ana especially in ward 8, and
Candidates William /. Mclaughlin and
Peter +. sullivan both had large num-
bers of friends In the hall.
When Mr.. McLoughlin's name was
first mentioned, it was moved that he
be given the unanimous Endorsement OF
the club, but Mr.. Sullivan's friends OBJ
jected, and both sides presented the
good traits of their candidates in long
arguments
1t was finally decided to settle the
matter by putting it to a vote, and Mr..
Mclaughlin secured the Endorsement by
a small majority. Mr. Sullivan's war
record and his good work while resi-
dent of ward 8 made good arguments
for his friends, but they failed to land
him the Endorsement.
In ward the club refused to consider
the contest, and it was allowed to go
by without Mr. Mellen getting the in-
dorsement
Martin v B. Jefferson was indorsed
for-eouneillor from the seventh district,

CRITICISM FOR
ARMY SURGEONS.
Severe Report Forwarded to Washington
Poor Soldier Boys Died On Trans.
port En- Route From the
Philippines.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. "a local
newspaper says that the most sensa-
tional Teport Of military board of in
quiry ever semitic the war department
from this city. has been forwarded to
Washington from the headquarters of
Maj. Gen Shafter. The document con-
sists of nearly one hundred typewriter
pages, and contains the seyerest kind of
criticism of the methods employed by
officers in charge of the sick soldiers
who returned from the Philippines ON
the transports Tartar and Newport, on
Oct. 10.
Upon Major Rafter, the surgeon of
the Twentieth Kansas volunteers, who
came back on the Tartar, the heaviest
censure is laid. Colonel Metcalfe, of the
same regiment who commanded the
Ship General Funston being only a
passenger, is Indirectly referred to.
Many other officers are given a hard
measure of criticism. but their names
are being withheld until the war de-
partment sees fit to make known the de-
tails Of the report.
The board of inquiry which has SO
severely arraigned the transport ser
vice was appointed by General Shafter

involved in the final catastrophe, the
son being made the tool of the enemies
of the dictators and led into an at
tempt to assassinate his father, with
out. however, being aware of the rela-
tionship.
A scene that in less artistic hands
than those of Sir Henry Irving might
have approximated an anti-climaX,
was the one in the fourth act in which
Robespierre, visiting the Conciergerie
prison yard in search Of his son, is over
come with the borrow Of the situation,
and, in awakening from a trance, be-
holds vision of those whom he has
sent to the guillotine and who follow
him with ghostly eyes and fingers, de-
nouncing him as a murderer.
In this scene Sir Henry was probably
at his greatest of the evening, though
in the final scene, where, wounded by
his son, he is led away to the place of
execution, he maintained his hold upon
his audience in a way that thrilled
them to the very marrow.
The audiences have been among the
best that have ever assembled within
the walls of a New York theatre, and
it's appreciation of Sir Henry's acting
and that of Miss Terry and the Ly-
ceum company as a whole was unstint-
ingly manifested.

the event, the issues at stake in the strug

been seriously interfered with and their
success jeopardized by the over-zealous

pressing too close upon the competing

1t win be remembered that Lord Dun

he withdrew the Valkyrie from the race
four years ago. 1t was to prevent any
unfortunate happening of this kind that
the government was called upon to pro-
pany the race for the cup this year And,
to make assurance doubly sure, Capt.
Robley D. Evans, United States navy,
Fighting Bob Evans of the gallant

issue an order couched in that terse and

Last Saturday it rained out every

Withstanding the road was muddy and
sloppy and the day very calm, some of
them made their way to town and sold
enough moonshine liquor to make in
dulgers feel happy and rich. Alfred
Walker and Newman Mcdonald got a
little too much of the oyerjoyful on
board, causing them to act in a man

1t more costly than if they had stopped

1t is little singular that there are
so many acorns this fall and but few
chestnuts Though, when we come TO
think, it may be on account of the
stock law. A number of persons are
unwilling for poor peoples hogs to eat
the chestnuts, and it may be that
quite likely the Great Ruler has decided
that if they are not pleased with his
blessings he will cut of the sup
ply of nuts to some extent.

turned a street corner near him. He
could not bear the thought of the
young lady seeing him violate the
Sabbath, so he lit over a picket fence
three and half feet high and started
bounding away, but as he turned his
