Robert B.. Mantell in a new romantic
drama entitled, "The Dagger and the
Cross" will be at the Opera House next
Friday night. These are days of dra-
matizd books. Few successful novels
escape the hanGs of the playwright,
but the percentage of literary triumphs
accurately produced on the stage is
comparatively small. A shining ex-
ception is the case of Joseph Hatton's
fine romance, 1.-THE Dagger and the
Cross" dramatized by w. A. Tremayne
for Robert B. Mantell. Mr.. Tremayne
wrote Mr.. Mantell's last success, "a
Secret Warrant" and when the actor
and his manager, NJ. w. Hanley, need
ed some one to make a play of 1.-THE
Dagger>and the Cross" they naturally
figured that no better nan could be
found. The success of the drama has
proved the wisdom of their choice.

A few ytgrs ago the woman who

entered the ranks of sportive apparel.
it is considered not only graceful but

John ". Isham's "Octoroons," which
will be here the last half of this week
at the Grand Opera House, have among
the many composing the large company
a dozen whose talent is far above the
average both among the singers and
speciality artists. The programme is a
long, novel and interesting one. The
opening sketch called "7-11-77" is n
designed to set the hilarity agoing and
fully carries out it's purpose. The far
cical skit will long be remembered by
those who witness it as something
truly laughable and jolly. The excel
lent olio which Immediately follows at
tests the managers eye for the beauti-
full, as some of the most charming pic
lures, or fancy stage groupings, are in
its ensemble. But for those who revel
in choice songs, especially sketchers and
choruses from the grand and comic
operas, the finale will be the par excel
lent, when thirty minutes of choice
selections will be rendered by such
strong and tuneful voices as only the
colored race are known to possess.

There Is general interest in the en-
gagement Saturday matinee and night,
of Uncle Tom" at the Opera House.
This famous play, which dates back so
far that some people have a vague
idea that it caused the war OF the re-
bellion, has been presented with re-
ligious regularity each dramatic sea-
son, sometimes with double little Evas
and double Uncle Toms even, but never
has it been given with such an elabor-
ate stage dressing and realistic effects
as this. In fact, several of the fea-
lures are in themselves sufficiently
novel to make it worth while going to
see Uncle Toms Cabin" for the forty
seventh time. The company is strong.
Miss Cooks Topsy is a fine piece Of
character and dialect acting, with the
additional virtue that it is really
funny.

Octoroons.
cPERA HOUSE Thursday. @The
Turtle Eriday The Dagger n the
suncie Toms Cabin.
Perhaps the most notable event OF
the present amusement season will be
the presentation in this city next
Thursday evening at the Opera House
of The Turtle" nearly direct from its
phenomenal and unprecedentedly sue
cessful engagement at the Manhattan
Theater, New York. 1t is so rarely
that our theater-goers are fortunate
enough to witness a New York success
so soon after the termination of the
metropolitan engagement, that the To-
cal Management is to be congratulated
on having been fortunate enough to
arrange SO early an appearance. The
annals of stage history offer few such
great successes as THE Turtle" For
over 200 nights it filled the Manhattan
Theater to the doors. and it was only
due to earlier contracts that so sue
cessful IN engagement was terminated
in the midst of it's run. 1t tells a
story that keeps the auditor IN one con-
slant state of uproar. The droll and
fantastic complications of THE Turtle"
are all the more mirth-provoking be-
cause the mistakes involving its per-
sonages are perfectly clean and APP
parent.

SOLDIERS STRANGE STORY.
Declares Discharged Men Are Fight
ing in Insurgent Ranks.

A telegram ID the New York Herald from
Pittsburg, Pa, says: Corporal Henry c
Edwards of the 4th Cavalry, who passed
through here on his way home from the
Philippines, told remarkable story about
Americans being in the insurgents ranks
and fighting against Otis men. He said:
There are many American soldiers with
the insurgents. They We're first discovered
by our scouts, whose reports were later
found correct. 1t was learned that the
Americans lighting US We're dishonorably
discharged in August and given no trans
portauon money by the government. They
Were forced to seek food and shelter from
the natives. and even compelled to leave
Manila When hostilities began circum-
stances forced these discharged soldiers to
ally themselves with the rebels They
ought not, however to be censured too
verely. as l am satisfied il was the only
alternative. They were wholly dependent
upon their native friends and agreed to
share their fortune. General Otis has given
them an opportunity to return TO our ranks
but up to the time when | left the Philip
pines few had come back.

Decoration day proved to be day of
chess events. Besides the big tourney
opening in London that day and the various
local affairs which members took advan-
tage of the holiday to celebrate, two big
matches between the important chess CEN
tiers took place. In one the Manhattan
club journeyed to Philadelphia, and won
narrow-margined victory, az to 6l2, The
teams were very strong. as VIII be seen by
the fact that such Manhattans as Hodges,

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

The event this week al the Chess Club
was the amended knockout. The defeated
instead of going out the first round, stayed
in during the first three and then the best
four and such as had as good a score as
any of them, went into the finals. The af-
fair was well attended and passed of most
pleasantly. AS only thirty seconds We're
allowed between moves, as may be lmagin-
ed many bad breaks were made, causing
plenty of amusement; the better the repu-
tation of the player. the more satisfaction
the crowd got out it, so that in the second
round when Mr.. Walker, playing against
Mr. Finn, couldn't see all of a thirteen-inch
attack IN half minute and lost piece after
piece in a series of checks and was finally
cornered-many d tear was shed.
Dr. Hodges, with all inferior force, helped
the thing along also, when-under the gen.
eral rules of the game-he called on his OPP
ponent, Mr. Campbell, to mate him in fifty
moves. and couldn't stop the mate in just a
little three. Mr.. John Prender was time
caller during the contest, which lasted from
to 10 IN, with recess for dinner.

After a period sof complete rest, lasting
since his return from Townsville, Ga,
about two months ago, Vice President Ho-
bart left the city last night for Long

the summer and autumn. Accompanying
the Vice President were Mrs. Hobart. Mas

T. ]. McHenry. his private secretary, and
the household servants. The party occupied
a special train, which left here shortly after
10 o'clock. There were a number of friends
at the house during the evening to say
goodbye, including Secretary Hitchcock.
Attorney General Griggs and President Nc
Kinley, who remained until the carriage
containing=the Vice President and family
left the house for the railroad station. Mr..
Hobarts condition has changed for the bet
ter since his return to the city, and he has
recovered to a considerable extent from
the effects Of the severe attack of indiges-
ton and general debility from which he
suffered. 1t is hoped that the stay at the
seaside will have a beneficial effect upon
him and that he will return to the city
when Congress meets fully recovered in

William Hazelden Ellerbe, governor OF
South Carolina, died near Dillon last even

Governor Eilerbe was a Descendant OF
Cap. Thos. Ellerbe of AIarion's Brigade, who
came to the state from Virginia in 1773.
He was born in 1862, and educated a Wof
ford College and Vanderbilt University.
He was planter and merchant at the in
ception of the Tillman movement in 1886
and was elected controller in 1890. In 1894
he was defeated candidate for governor
In 1886 he was elected governor carrying
every county in the state except one and
receiving the votes of many conservative
men, as he had proclaimed his determina-
ton to know no faction. When the Spanish
war was proclaimed he promptly seconded
the call of the President for volunteers,
and his appointment of officers gave gem
eral satisfaction.
In November, 1898. he was reelected gov
ernor, after a heated campaign and over
most formidable opposition, many con-
serVatVeS claiming that he had not full
filled his pledges. He warmly approved
the spanish war, saying in his speech TO
the volunteers, We are all Americans
