even the young woman who appears in
burnt cork, shines through it as more
than comeIy. They are graceful and
clever actresses, and full of the spirit
of the play.
Miss Knowlton is a TALL willoWy
woman with the fresh beauty of youth
and intelligence. She is more than
clever. as also are Misses Midgely and
Lee. But Miss Jessie Hall captured the
audience in the fullest sense; petite,
handsome in feature and form, quick as
a dart. dashing, flashing fun loving and
tyrannical as the character of a pet
ted beauty demands, she is a sun
burst of life, wit and animation in
every scene in which she appears. She
sings nicely, in a sweet voice surprising
ly strong for such a wee body, and IL
tones dulcet, clear and possessing far
more than the average of good quail
ties. Miss Midgely also in coon and
rag time songs, achieved complete sue
cess and had more recalls than fall to
the share of most cooks of the staEts-
Mr.. Swain, the author, in the leading
role, proved to be good timber in the
composition Of the troupe and had ex-
cellent support from Mr.. Cullison. Mr..
Horn and Mr.. Elmer. The latter, by the
way, is very amusing specialist in i'm
itations new and merry. The comedy
was an instant success. 1t will be given
at a matinee this afternoon at reduced
prices and for the last time tonight.
The company then goes direct to san
Francisco to fill a long engagement.

A CALIFORNIA; MURDERED.
DR.. Wunschow of Berkeley Meets
With Foul Play.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20.--A we'll
known mining man of Sonora. Mexico,
now in this city, says that DR.. Theo
Wunschow, an American physician,
whose family lives at Berkeley, Cal,
has been murdered in Sonora.
DR.. Wunschow. accompanied by ma
tive servant, left the town of Bariacora
on August 18th last for Santa Helena
He had a large amount of gold dust
on his person, and he intended to pur-
chase. a draft on San Francisco bank
at Santa Helena. Neither DR.. Wun-
schow nor his servant ever arrived at
Santa Helena.
Friends at Bariacora have sent out
searching parties, but no trace could
be found. Some of his friends believe
that the servant killed and robbed him,
While others are inclined to believe that
he fell in with a band of hostile
Yaquis, who killed both of them.

Fitzhugh Lee, which will appear in the
Independent tomorrow as follows: "Wh n
will the United States evacuate Cuba?
That is a question I am very frequently
asked. And l suppose it is natural for
people to suppose that from my peculiar

ion. With the very best of good will en-
the part of our government, desire to
keep its pledges and leave the inhabitants
of Cuba to enjoy their independ nce in

six months crime has decreased and peace
and prosperity are spreading or revivin :
In a great measure. This. however. seems
attributable TO the presence of the Unted

holders and business men insist must stay.
The Cubans themselves seem TO b. vey
much divided in opinion as to what ought
