1.-THE Little Minister" by Charles Froh-
mans Company is the attraction tonight.
AS is we'll known the play Is by j. M.
Barrie, and is the dramatization OF his
novel of that name. 1t is one Of the few
plays which can be enjoyed more than
once. Ii promises to become classic and
remain in popularity long after the book
which gave il birth came and passed from
memory. Indeed, with the average person
the Little Minister" is the play rather
than the novel, and Barrie Is the dramat-
list rather than the novelist. The humor
of the play Is simple and natural. 1t is the
quality of naturalness which has had much
TO do with the Little Minister'S" success.
Another point in which the pieces is strong
in its portrayal of character. The quar-
tet in Manse garden Is a study in types;
not one exaggeration and all to be met
with. Some one has suggested, and quite
pertinently, that the Little Minister as
a play should be rechristened "Babbe;"
certainly Babies" fascinating personal
ity permeats and dominates every scene.

his mistake in ordering the assaults that
cost so many lives at Cold Harbor, and
the one at Vicksburg, May %, 1868, for
which he could give no excuse except that
in the latter case men We're flush with

and. thinking it might cost less sacrifice OF
life than would result from long siege, he
ordered the assault to be made. Sherman.
in his Memoirs, should have acknowledged
his mistake in not moving Immediately on
the enemy'S works; or at least have been
satisfied to have let his statement in his
report 10 the War Department go into his
Memoirs as the cause of our repulse, which
would have reflected no discredit upon
any of his soldiers.
| TOOK THE RESPONSIBILITY.
In that report he said: "On the night of
the 29th we stood on our original ground,
and had suffered a repulse The effort
was necessary TO a successful accomplish
ment of my orders; and the combinations
We're the best possible under the circum-
! stances. | assume all the responsibility,
and attach blame to no one, and am gen
orally satisfied with the spirit manifested
by all. attribute our failure to the strength
of the enemy's position, both natural and
artificial. and to his superior fighting"
| 1t has been and probably always will be
mystery as to what prompted Gen. Sher-
man years afterward to go back on this
statement in his report to the War Depart
ment. and in his Memoirs lay the response
bility and blame on Gen. Morgan and

"One brigade Ode Courcey's) of Morgan's
Division crossed the Bayou safely, but
took to cover behind the bank, and could
not be moved forward. Frank Bair's
Brigade of Steeles Division, in support,
also crossed the Bayou. passed over the
space of gcound to the foot of the hills, but
being unsupported by Morgan, and meet
ing very severe crOSstire of artillery
was staggered, and gradually fell back
leaving $50 men wounded and prisoners
This attack failed, and | have always felt
that it was due TO the failure of George W.
Morgan to obey his orders, or to fulfill his
promise maCe in person. Had he used
with skill and boldnesS one of his bri-
gadeS in addition 10 that of Blair'S, he
could have made a lodgment on the bluffs
which would have opened the door for our
whole force to follow"
Now, it is impossible to harmonic Sher-
mans statement in his report where "he
assumes the responsibility and attaches
blame to none" with his statement in his
Memoirs, where he says he has always
felt that it was due to the failure of George
W. Morgan To obey his orders
1t is equally impossible to harmonic the
statement in his Memoirs that Morgan
said, General, in 10 minutes after you
give the signal for the assault, I'll be on
those hills" with Morgan's reply to one
of Sherman's staff who came with orders,
and quoted Sherman as saying it would
cost 5000 lives to take Vicksburg, and
might as well lose them now.
