then it has played a number OF the larger
cities on its way East, and is said to have
received the most fattering attention from
both press and public. Brown is sup
posed to possess several features which
strongly recommend 1t. one of these being
the entire absence OF the mother law

the public mind with any work of a farci-
cal nature. Mr.. Rosenthal has strong
aversion to these time-wo characters

duced a colored cook lady" and Ger

humorous in the extreme. They are I'M

Besides the singers Of the society. there
were a number of soloists prominent in To-

and Archibald Olmstead.
The selections by the society were rem
dered in very pleasing manner. The
"Pilgrims Chorus from "Tannhauser."
was attempted with very fair success.
Herman c. Rakemanns violin solo won
the thorough appreciation of the au-
dience. A contralto solo was sung with
artistic effect by Mrs. Charles Shaler. The
piano solos by Archibald Olmstead were
excellent. Mrs. Thomas c. Noyes rendered
a soprano solo from Verdi which gave her
good opportunity to fully display the re-
markable range and sweetness OF her voice.
The programme ended with chorus en-
titled Good Night" from Pinsuti, by the

CABLE COMPANIES AT WAR.
The Western Union Claims 81 Monop-
oily on Cuban business.

Oily
The Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies have engaged in a bitter fight
over the right of the latter corporation to
lay new cable between the United States
and Cuba. 1t began in this city yesterday
afternoon. when a hearing was granted
representatives of both companies at the
office of Attorney General Griggs
The company which proposes to lay the
new cable is the Commercial Gable Com
pany of New York of which Clarence II.
Mackey is President. The persons inter-
ested in the Commercial Gable Company
are also the representatives of the Postal
Telegraph Gable Company, which operates
land telegraph lines in this country, con-
Meeting with the transatlantic cables.
When the Commercial Cable Company
filed its application with the Secretary OF
State for permission to lay Cuban cable
the matter was referred to Secretary Al
ger. This was done because the War De-
partment is in authority in Cuba at the
present time. Secretary Alger referred the
subject to the Attorney General, before
whom 1t is now pending.
The Western Union Telegraph Company,
which is a lessee of the cable line now III
operation between Punta Rosa, Fla, and
Havana learned of the application of its
competitor and speedily entered protest.
II is claimed by the western Union COM
pany in its protest that il is entitled TO a
monopoly of the cable business between
this country and Cuba until December ,,
1906. by virtue of an alleged franchise
granted by the Spanish government for
forty years from December 5. 1866, to the
International Ocean Telegraph Company.
from whom the Western Union Telegraph
Company is alleged to have leased certain
lines and concessions.
At the hearing yesterday afternoon the
Western Union Company was represented
by Rush Taggart. of New York. and j.
Hubley Ashton. of this city. The Postal
Telegraph Cable Company was represented
by w w. Cook. of New York; Col. Tom
Ochiltree. and former Senator NJ. c. But
ler of South Carolina. The first speaker
was Mr.. Taggart. Following his argu-
ment Mr.. Cook replied with declaration
that the Commercial Cable Company chal-
lenged the validity of the alleged monopoly
of the Western Union Company.
Mr.. Cook presented an argument in which
it is charged that the 'monopolistic grant
of the Western Union Company was OBJ
tanned by false and fraudulent misrepre-
sentations: that the grant is illegal ana
void. and that the monopoly should not now
be upheld even il it was valid at its incep-
ton. Attorney General Grggs took the
matter under consideration and his decision
is awaited with interest.

Gently held in this city, explained last
night how the movement. which has for
its object the protection of the American
flag was first started in Wisconsin Mrs.
Kempster is chairman Of the flag commit
tee and the report presented by her before
the National Congress of the Daughters of
the American Revolution was considered
one of the most important reports OF the
congress.
Mrs. Kempster stated that in November,
1896 member of the Milwaukee Chapter
of Wisconsin read a report before the la
dies of the local chapter. AS a result a
resolution was offered inviting all chap
ters of the national society to join in d
petition to Congress for a Federal enact
ment to protect the flag from Dissertation
Never before had the question been
brought to the minds of the women of the
country that they had a special, personal
duty to the flag. The endorsement of the
petition by eighty-one chapters with a
form of bill. approved by eminent mem-
bers of the bar and by justice OF the
United States Supreme Court, was pre-
sented to the National Society Daughters
Of the American Revolution. at their Con-
tinental Congress in February, 1897. and
received the endorsement of the congress.
The bill and memorial were then placed
in the hands of a committee, Mrs. Kemp
ster. chairman, appointed by the president
general of the organization. This bill was
presented to the Congress OF the United
States in behalf of the national society in
December, 1897. The bill was referred By
Congress to the Judiciary Committees of
the Senate and House of Representatives.

praise that need not be qualified by criti

creditable order, his reading being intel

unusual advantage, giving the dream scene
with emphasis and penetration that brought

afforded was generally good. Henry Testa
