At the National Theatre for one wees
beginning Monday evening Charles
FrOhman will offer his annual melo-
dramatic triumph, The piece is Anson
Ponds American play, "Her Atone
ment," which tells in thrilling manner
the story Of wOman's love and sacrifice.
1t is war play with soldier boys going
away to the battlefield and later
returning therefrOm victorious, and il
recalls IN vivid and striking fashion
recent patriotic scenes in the streets OF
New York, following the declaration of
war against Spain and the happy
conclusion OF that struggle. The play is
replete with big and moving scenes and
these are placed before the eye of the
%ontauk's patrons in the same realistic
and stirring manner as it has been seen
for the past 100 nights at the Academy
OF Music, New York. Mr.. Frohman has
always shown lavish hand in mounting
and casting melodramas: he spent
800, 900 on THE Sporting Duchess" and
one scene alone in ''The White Heather"
presented here this season cost Sac, 900.
The cast in each case was made up Of
stars and was so strong that managers
stood aghast and we're amazed at the
tremendous weekly expense assumed
in this way alone, II Is said that
Mr.. Frohman surpasses himself in the
productionioi "HeT Atonement," every
feature OF which is sumptuously pre-.
sented. The great soldier scenes, the
huge crowded ferTybOats playing in the
North river, all the mammoth
environment Of the story is truthfully and
conVincingly pictured and the cast is one
that will be talked about. The manager
has organized the strongest company he
could assemble for the piece and the
wonderful intensity OF its dramatic
qualities is artistically and emphatically
asserted.
"Her .Atonement" appeals strongly
to the AmerIcanism Of the public and it
is one OF the big triumphs Of this great
American year.
The cast which numbers 400 people is
Of extraordinary strength at all points.
Among the plave are Louis Aldrich,
Orrin Johnson. Margaret Robinson,
Jessie Busley, Kate Denim Wilson,
Richard Bennett and many others.

THEATRICAL.

Black Patti, the greatest singer OF her
race, who has won triumphs in every
part Of the civilized world, will be seen
next week at the Academy o Music in
conjunction with the Black Patti Trou-
badours. There aye lOrty people in the
company. and the principal members are
famous by reason OF their ASSOCIATION
with the vaudeville and comedy stage.
The company Is credited with giving a
performance which excels in point OF
novelty anything that has been seen on
the American stage. The solos,
quartetts, and choruses as sung by Black
Patti and her associates have proven to
be a veritable sensation.

That one German Planter

should have so managed 500 saw
ages as to entrap los English and
Americans and a couple hundred
natives in an ambuscade is hardly
possible. But this story is now
relied on to increase the hatred
against Germany.
Besides our troops we're on the
war path. If properly led, they
should not have been entraDped
on three sides. But an English
officer led them.

The French Staff is not so cour-

is at stake in the Dreyius conspir-
acy. Some of the principal men
connected with the latter have
killed themselves. Now the Sec.
retary OF du Patty Clam has shot
himself, because he was to appear

For the LirrIe Folks.

A Lamb, Duck, a BulliroR and a
Skunk went to the theatre together,
The admission was a quarter Of dollar.
They all got in but the Skunk, and he
was refused admission. How was THAR
4A8S.--The Lamb had "foui quarters"
the Duck had a "bill;" The Frog had a
'Rreenback," and the Skunk had only
a Scent" and that was not good.

LADY SALISBURY.

sorrow and public duty today awakens
the keenest sympathy among all Eng
lishmen, for they know that domestic
anxiety Is the one superadded burden
which the overweighted prime minister
and foreign secretary cannot bear. 1t
was that one superadded burden that
nearly forced on his resignation of one
or both Of his portfolios last autumn.
and should the universal though not
over-sanguine hopes for Lady Sails
bury's speedy recovery be frustrated,
the ministry will, in the last year before
its appeal to the electorate, be brought
face to face with a crisis in that ever
recurring personal conflict which has
harassed it ever since Mr.. Chamber
lain made the provision of offices for
his personal following the price of his
alliance with the Salisbury and Hicks
Beach sections of Torrylsm.

Her Sense of Humor.

There was man out at one of the
suburban resorts night before last for
whom l felt the sincerest sympathy,
says writer in the Washington Post.
He was a very young man and you
could see from his looks that he meant
well. The girl with him was younger
even than he, and pretty enough to eat,
and he was doing his best to be witty
under the most disheartening cir
cumstances. Story after story he told,
till the perspiration trickled down his
cheeks and every time he told a story
the girl either didn't laugh at all or,
worse yet, laughed in the wrong place.
At last he remembered one he knew
she'd like.
Il was over at Alexandria yester-

LADY SAILS BU RY
WIFE OF THE PRIME HINISTER
OF ENGLAND.
Her Present Illness May Result in a
Political Crisis Devoted
Loyalty to Queen DECENTRALIZATION in
the Tory Party.

Among politicians in England today
the renewed serious illness of Lady
Salisbury overshadows even such eX
citing topics as the Milner-Kruge duel
in South Africa. The best traditions of
English public life respect the privacy
Of the domestic hearth even of the
greatest men, but grave political issues
are once again forced upon the atten-
tion by the attack of partial paralysis
by which this august lady has been
suddenly stricken down. Among the
English statesmen of the Victorian era
Mr.. Gladstone is alone comparable
with Lord Salisbury in the simple hap
piness of his domestic life. 1t is the
rarest thing in the world to find the
latter in clubland. He hardly ever
dimes out. He lives the life almost of
a reclase, neglectful in a strange de-
gree of social fame and of tickle pub
lie opinion, and is only kept by his
keen sense of public duty and his per-
sonal devotion to the queen from the
quiet joys of his beautiful Elizabethan
retreat at Hatfield and of that labora-
tory where his friends say he has pa
tiently evolved a scientific discovery
of no mean Importance. This is the
man whose conflict between private

Wanted to Be Polite.

No one made any remark upon the
temerity of the ladies who invited
Ambrose Bierce to deliver lecture
before the members of their club.
Bierce was so taken aback by the un-
expectedness of the request that, to
his own surprise, he found himself
weakly accepting the bid, and then
humbly consulting his callers con-
cerning the topic upon which they
might desire him to speak.
The president, dignifed and very
conservative lady, in reply to novel
suggestion of the lecturer elect, re-
marked somewhat loftily that they
were not club of new women.
''I am convinced OF that" all
swered Mr.. Bierce in bland and
deferential tone which almost, if not
quite, concealed his cynicism. "Shall
1 say you are club of old women?'

Whatever the Island of Santo
Domingo may lack, it is not from any
remissuess on the part of Mother
Nature, for it was originally richly
endowed. Everything that grows
within the tropics may find home
somewhere between coast line and
mountain tops, and in the elevated
regions may be produced almost every
variety of fruit and vegetable peculiar
to the temperate zones. As for
minerals, the most precious of all,
gold, in fakes, particles, sands and
nuggets, has been found in abundance.
1t was the gold of Hispaniola, as
Columbus called the island, that first
attracted him thither, and from the
native caciques on the north coast he
obtained the precious metal first
taken to Spain, some of which may
yet be seen in Burgos and Granada.
AS his sailors were filling their
water casks at the mouth of the
river Yaqui they were delighted with
the sight of golden sands, and from
this circumstance Columbus called
it Rio del Orc, or the river of gold.
The founding of the present capital,
Santo Domingo, was owing to the dis
covery of gold on tributary of the
river on which it is situated, from
which resulted the rich mines of San
Cristobal, first brought to light in
romantic manner in 1896. Here was
dug up in 1902 that nugget said to be
the largest ever found in the new
world, of such dimensions that the
lucky miners, in the first excess of
their Joy, had pig roasted and served
upon it as a table. They let it go to
the King of Spain, some time after
ward, but sent message to the effect
that they had done what no royal
parsonage had ever done; dined off
table OF solid gold. This great mug
get was lost when the fleet that sailed
with Bobadilla went down, and still

lies at the bottom of the sea off the
east end of the island.
1t is not known that much has been
done in recent times to exploit the
mineral riches of the island; in fact,
the interior mountains have never
been satisfactorily examined. In
their shelter yet exist hooks and
caves, secluded valleys and dells,
which have never been visited except
by the Indians of early times and the
"Ciparoons" or runaway negroes of
slavery days. Humboldt declared
that what the Spaniards obtained was
merely the surface washings of the
placers and the hilltops, and what
they got from the beds of rivers. The
golden secret has not been revealed,
as yet, and will not be divulged up-
til some more progressive Government
than that at present ruling in Santo
Domingo shall undertake the explora-
tion of the great central range of
mountains.
But it is not in mineral wealth alone
that Santo Domingo offers tempta-
t4Ouo W luG eAplOIer. lulS lSlhnu,
which of late has been known to
political adventurers as "Leelee's"
Island ("Leelee" being a contraction
of Ulysses, former President Heu-
reaux's Christian name) is rich in
every possibility. Within its area
of some eighteen thousand square
miles, Santo Domingo has every range
of climate and soil, capable of produc-
ing everything necessary to the sup
port of man. Nature, as has been
observed, did everything needful for
this beautiful island, but during the
four centuries of mans domination its
rich gifts and generous provisions
have been perverted and even prosti-
tuted to the basest ends.
When Sir Francis Drake went to
Santo Domingo intent upon sacking
the city, he found it hardly worth the
plucking. So it happens that while
rich in historical associations, both
