CONGRESS TO
THANK THEM
Two Brave Women Who Nursed Sick
Troops in the Field Hospitals in
Porto Rico.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Margaret Liv-
ingston Chanler and Anna Bouling,
heroic women who served without pay
as nurses in Porto Rico during the war,
have been recommended for that rare
honor, the thanks of congress.
They landed in Ponce July 31st. and
the same day began nursing American
and Spanish sick. Miss Chanler, from
her own purse, hired house and estab-
ished a hospital for American officers,
and as the number of sick grew, hired
another and another until she had three
hospitals in operations at her own ex-
pense. In September she turned these
hospitals over to the government trained
nurses, having first provided for their
rental and running expenses.
The two brave women then went to
Coamo, nursing the sick there, and later
San Juan, as soon as that place was un-
der the American flag, starting hos
pital there. General Miles says their
conduct was most commendable and
! praiEeworthy.
| The suggestion is indorsed by Secre-
tary Alger, who recommended suitable
action by congress.
It is probable the two wnmen will be
given medals and the thanks of con-
gress.

Report to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate

There was only bare quorum of the

Clark, who were among the absentees,
sent their proxies. Morgan and Gray

READY TO
ATTACK MANILA
Situation, the Spanish General Avers,is
Grave-Americans Said to Have
Given Up Landing at IlOiIO.

MADRID, Jan. 1I.-General Rios, the
Spanish commander, cables from Manila
reitersting his assertion that the situa-
ton in the Philippine islands is most
grave. The rebels, it appears are con-
centrating in the neighborhood of Ma
nils, with the intention of attacking that
place. Great preparations are being
made for the defense of the city.
The Spanish general also asserts that
the natives of VisaYas have again re-
fused to allow the Americans to land at
noiIo, threatening to resist by force ii
an attempt is made to do 80. The
Americans, therefore, according to Gen.
Rios, have abandoned the idea of dis
embarking, and he confirms the previous
statement to the effect that the natives
were willing to resist by force If any at
tempt is made to do so.
Gen, Rios also alleges that the rebels
are determined to fight the Americana
before reinforcements arrive from the
United States.
In conclusion, Gen. Rios says Aguin-
aldo's proclamation has produced i'm
mense enthusiasm among the rebels.

cruise in the West Indies.
Aside from its moral effect the main
object of Admiral Sampson's visit to
Havana will be to attach the Texas

1t is evident that the department has
no intention of diminishing the North
Atlantic squadron by forming European

City Club House.

The Jersey City Clubhouse was COM

Thespian Comedy Company, of New York
City. produced Sydney Grundy's amusing
farce Arabian Nights" under the aus
pieces of the High School Glass of '99. This
well known piece was presented in a most
pleasing manner and it reflects credit
upon the following cast:-Arthur Hum
mingtop, Harry C. Edwards; Ralph Or
merod, VIM. L. Hopkins; Joshua Gill;
brand, Augustus Oelrichs; Dobson,
FRANKLIN S. Brady; Mrs. Huntington,
Maude Abrams; Mrs. Gillibrand, Grace A.

next week in all it's pristine wealth of
scenery and strength of talent, under the
management of Davis and Keogh, whose.
names are enviably associated with many
of the most sterling and popular dramatic
successes of recent years These shreWd
and enterprising gentlemen were first to
appreciate the stage possibilities pre-
sented by the fabulously rich gold dis
coveries in the frozen wilds of far Alaska,
and so quickly and firmly grasped the OPP
portunities as to forestall rivalry, and so
completely possessed themselves of the
new and special fields as to leave no
scope for even imitation. This unique
production proves that there is something
new under the Arctic sun at least, and
the dazzling and romantic theme OF uni
yersal interest upon which it is grounded
has been utilized with heroic hand as re-
CARDS al the essentials of scenic truth
and splendor, romantic story and extra
ordinarily deceptive realism. The hugh
landscapes, surprising in every way the
ordinary limitations of stage scenery,
form a most costly, ~alluring and impress

wherein Scott Marbles gifted pen has
commingled fact and romance. All these

1.-THE Silver King" lives on, not only still
remembered as a once valued favorite
among the greatest plays, but ever greet
ed upon each returning visit as a well
come ~friend-one of the best of stage
offerings. 1t is worthy of repetition in the
interest of the new patrons of the theatre
to announce this play as a melodrama of
marked superiority. 1t contains al honest,
wholesome story, not destitute of sur
prise and intrigue. Though the play at
times deals with low life, it never de-
sends to the vulgar. There is some
thing in it to make people think, and
more in it to make people laugh. Manager
Holmes has arranged to give an elaborate
actor, Mr.. Carl. A. Haswin, will assume
the role of Wilfred Denver, the Silver
King, a part that he has played over
three thousand times. The supporting
company will, it is promised, be strong
and of exceptional excellence.
One of the most pleasing events of the
engagement of 1.-THE Silver King Com
pany will be the reception which will be
held after the matinee Saturday, by
sweet little Dorothy Hayton, who plays
the part of Cissy Denver. All the little
ones present win be invited to come on
the stage and become acquainted with the
charming child actress, who by the way
is a grand daughter of the late George L..
Fox, the famous pantomimist. As there
vii be no advance in prices, those who
propose seeing "The Silver King should
secure their seats in advance.

And can it be cured?
Grip is characterized by a continued
by a tendency to Inflammation OF
the membranes of the digestive and often
the respiratory tracts, by pain in the mus
cles, and by debility.
The grip in individual cases varies from
a slight indisposition to severe forms with
grave symptoms-these variations depend
ing wholly upon the health, age, tempera-
ment or nervous condition of the person.
Those predisposed to rheumatism suffer
great pains in the muscles; persons OF
temperament become low spirit
ed, often have hysteria, and, if not closely
watched, have been known to commit
suicide. Several cases of this sort have
been reported this month in the newspa-
pers. Headache is a constant symptom.
The bowels are generally constipated.
Whatever form the disease takes there is
invariably extreme prostration. The dan
ger to persons in previous healthful con-
dition is slight.
1t has been absolutely proven that there
is one certain preventive of serious cases
of grip; n that there is one remedy for
persons suffering with it or beginning ID
be convalescent from its attack.

AMUSEMENTS.
Of Music

At the Academy Of Music, commencing
with Lincoln's Birthday matinee on Mon
day, comes a new melodrama, which has
been gaining considerable notice through
out the theatrical route 1t is entitled
Through the Breakers" is a melodrama
in four acts, and Is written by a Harvard
man, named Owen Davis, and is in the
hands of a competent company of play
ers. In brief the story is as
Maude Radford ,(played by that clever
and well known actress, Maude Banks,)
is an orphan, living under the care of her
aunt, Miss Turner, Peter Turner, Maude's
second cousin, wishes to marry her, but
she refuses him, which refusal he takes
much to heart. Outwardly. Turner is a
highly respected member of society; but,
in reality, is the moving spirit of a gang
of smugglers and wreckers, who are max
ing that part of the English coast their
home. Maude is afraid of Turner and is
in love with Stephen Douglas, a young
telegraph clerk. Young Douglas and
Maude are secretly married by the Rev.
| Charles Movie, but a little later Maude
is forced to tell Turner of her marriage
in order to stop his continued advances.
Driven desperate by this news, Turner
ends by stabbing Douglas and having
Maude carried to the ave of his friends,
the smugglers. In this cave Maude makes
a friend of a rough old sailor, and by
his aid finally manages to escape to a
| passing ship by means of a life basket
suspended over the sea on a tossing
lifeline; her newly found friend holding
Turner and his men at bay until her re-
lease is effected. Turner, in his endeavor
to escape from the officers who are after
him, tries to lure their ship out on the
rocks to destruction by means of false
lights. Maude and Douglas are warned
of his purpose and are enabled to change
the lights just in time to save the ship.
The chief sensational events of the play
are the %curiously arranged telegraph
scene in act second, the escape from the
cave in act third, and a fight on a high
cliff in the last act. In this scene Doug
las saves Maude from Turner's hands
and a fierce fight takes place, ending
in Turner's being thrown from the cliff
just as the ship passes by. The scenery
is very elaborate and costly and the COM
edy quick and bright.

Voorhees, Reward, Of Lentz.

The end of the Essex Prosecutorship
muddle is very funny indeed. 1t is rich
ness itself to see our good Governor turn
down one unfit ringster only to give the
place to another, even more Objectionable.
Republicans may we'll look blue over it,
but to Democrats n the disinterested
citizen, it is. to laugh-really it is.
The blow struck by Mr.. Voorhees, at
Carl Lent is not a very creditable one.
If the Governor had chosen a conspicu-
ously clean and able man for the place,
the insult would not have been so giar-
ing. Even Lentz could awe only growled
at the act as showing what he had al
ways said, that Mr.. Voorhees, was no
politician.
But it would be ridiculous to pretend
that the appointment of Chan Riker is
an act of political virtue. 1t is n Oh
deliberate vengeance, and, considering
he debt which Mr.. Voorhees, owes to
MAJOR L6ntZ LOT lHdl GsSCA
which elected him, it is hard to avoid de-
scribing it as an act of cold-hearted in
gratitude. Whatever the earlier relations
of Voorhees, and Lentz may have been,
the latter certainly had a right to ex-
pect some consideration for his services
in the recent campaign. The selection OF
his sworn enemy for the office, to which
he aspired, is u~ndeniably a cruel and I'M
warranted injury.
What politicians will think of the ap-
pointment may be inferred from the re-
cent u%tterances of Colonel Dickinson OF
this city. We SHOULD think Mr.. Rlker
would nave a hard time getting his nomi-
nation confirmed by the Senate.
