" HARE AND HOUNDS"
The Players Gave Creditable Performance
at the Opera House Last Night.

Tine Players Gave Creditable Performance
at the opera House Last Night.
The Players Club gave their second
performance at the Opera House last
night to large and appreciatiye audi
ence. The affair was indeed a society
event, many ladies and gentlemen be-
ing attired in evening dress. The first
play, THE Speeulator," produced by
the Players last November, made such
a decided hit that many thought it was
doubtful that the talented organization
could produce anything that would
make another such hit, but last night S
Interpretation of Sidney Grundy's eel
ebrated comedy, Hare and Hounds, ,"
proved to be favorite from the start.
The play is farce-comedy in three
acts, all laid at hotel in the Switzer-
land Alps. Ptolemy Tubbs, a re-
nowned soap-boiler of Chaplain, is in
weighed by his poet laureate, Narcissus
Jones, to assume his gulse, and on this
agreement on the part of TubbS the
play is hinged.
In the cast last night there were sew
eral new faces. Each acquitted them
selves in creditable manner in their
-
envy Tubbs, played his part to perfec-
ton and kept the audience in one con-
tinuous uprear. Mr.. Lawrence Wheat
as Narcissus Jones, the poet, displayed
some clever acting; his stage manner
was easy and he seemed to be entirely
engrossed with his part. Mr.. Edward
FranZheim as Montague Belvidere had
perhaps the most difficult character in
the cast, but with his usual ease and
grace interpreted the roll in a manner
which would have done credit to pro-
fessional. Mr.. Joe Naylor, one of the
new members, assumed the role of Col.
Cadbury, and with his excellent voice
made a fine impression. Mr.. Will
Brice was assigned two parts-Karl,
the hotel proprietor, and Tucker, an
attorney. Both parts were we'll han
died by that young gentleman.
Miss A. Lima Hennig as Kate Cad
bury, acquitted herself, as she always
does, in a manner which won for her
praise from the audience. Miss Bess
Griffith, another new member of the
club, took the part of the soap-boiler's
wife, and showed by her careful rendi-
ton of the part that she has marked
talent in that line. Miss Louise Man
tague as Mrs. Todhunter was up to her
usual standard, and won warm ap-
planes. Miss Gertrude Harris, as Lis
settle of the opera, executed one of the
prettiest dances with orchestra accom-
paniment.
The Players expect to give their
third play the Friday after Easter, and
no doubt they will be greeted by as
large an audience as last night, for they
are capable organization.

ll6 Necessities of the Hour in
Cuba--. Policing Of the Island Must
Be Done by Cubans.

HAVANA, February 3.-Mr. Robert p.
Porter, Before sailing for Miami, made the
following statement to the correspondent
of the Associated Press:
while the situation here has been i'm
kproyed and simplifed by the declaration
bf Gen. Gomez that he will Immediately
take part in the pacification of Cuba, the
advantage thus gained should be follow
ed w by the American authorities. The
entire policing of the island could be done
by the Cubans themselves. The real po-
lice work is, in fact, now in the hands of
Cuban soldiers, and law and order are
well maintained. There should not be a
moments delay in the organization and
equipment of these civil guards
The bulk of the American soldiers must
be taken out of Cuba by April. There Is
really no necessity for more than two
regiments in each province to serve as a
background of support for the Cuban po-
lice, In giving the best of these people
employment all the more will be left og
the relief fund for those who must be
helped back to the land.
1.-THE feeling of distrust between the Gu
bans and the Americans has been tempo
rarily checked by the message Of Gen.
Gomez to President Mckinley and the
Presidents reply through Secretary Hay.
If the younger military elements of 10th
armies will now get together and Gem
pIete the several schemes for po(i:'ng The
provinces which at this moment are
awaiting crystalization, the problem viii
be solved. Delay in this work will be
fatal. If such men as Gen. Gomez, Cen.
Monteagudo. of Santa Clara province,
Gen. Mayia Rodriguez. of the province of
Pinar del Rio, Gen Pedro Betancou"t. Of
Matanzas province, and others whom L
know personally, win assure President
( Mckinley and Governor General Brooke
hat law and order will be maint ed,
heir pledge will be carried out ut airy

A Hotel Full Of People at Omaha Held
by the Police, Because Of Small
p0X.

Omaha, February 3.-The spectacle
of an entire hotel full Of guests quar-
antined and armed policemen stand
ing at every door and window to pre-
vent the people escaping, is presented
in Omaha tonight.
This morning three we'll defined
cases of smallpox were discovered at
the Vendome hotel. The Health De-
partment was notified, and plans were
quickly decided upon for quarantining
the place. A squad Of armed police
men raced to the scene and when the
guests started on their accustomed
morning duties they were driven back
into the house by force. Travelling
men begged to be permitted to get
away, guaranteeing to leave the city
by the first train or on foot if neces-
sary.
Several daring fellows who pre-
ferred any sort of an adventure to
being rhut up for ten days, slipped out
the skylight, scaled the adjacent roofs
and, making their way through the
snow and ice over the house tops,
managed to reach the ground in safety
after many narrow escapes. A num-
Der Of Chicago and st. Louis travel
ing men are in the hotel. Just who
they are nobody cares to examine the
register just at present to find out.
