PIaCue Situation

Washington, February 15.-In a report to Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hos pital service, Dr. Carmichael, stationed at Honolulu gives a summs=y of the condi- tions respecting the bubonic plague en February 2:
 'IIe says the belief is strong that the burning of Chinatown has done away with most of the danger. House to house inspec- tion is still continued. Dr. Carmichael de- scribes a visit to the KaiIhi detention camp where there are 1000 people under observa- tion, Chinese, Japanese. and Hawadans. Ae- cordfng to Dr. Carmchaels description this is an ideal camp in many respects, and there has not been much sickness of se- rious nature among the persons detained there.
 Up to date the record stands 58 cases Of plague and 46 deaths. The congested condi- fion of tine harbor still continues, and the difficulty of properly dischargfng cargoes in the stream is still present. All precautions are taken with vessels leaving for the United States, particularly with those load dng with sugar for ports in the mainland.

A COloniaI Girl

"A Colonial Girl" with Howard Gould as the leading feature in the cast, will be seen at O Brien's opera house next Monday afternoon and night. This is the first pro- duction of the play in this city, and it will be one of the most interesting events of the dramatic season. A new Frohman production always promises an evening of rare enjoyment to thea,ter-goers, and "A Colonial Girl has passed from the stage of experiment into that of undoubted suc- at the New York Lyceum, where it was produced in the fall of 1898, and played to business that increased with each success sive performance. It could have run there all the year had not previous contracts for other plays made its removal imperative. Since then it has duplicated its success in all the principal cities in which 1t has been given.
 Mir. Gould Is one of the best romantic &C., tors of the day, and is making great the patriot spy.
 His last appearance here was in "The Prisoner of Zenda," and 1t would be diff ficult to find a more effective character than that of Rudolph in the latter play. As Godfrey Remsen his success 1las been even greater. The scenery, costumes and accessories are all carried by the company

CrestoIi Cla,ke

Much more than usual interest attaches to the coming engagement here of Creston Clarke, who will appear at O'Briens opera house next Tuesday, presenting his scenic production of Hamlet"
 Mir. Clarke's success in the romantic drama has been a brilliant one, and so firm ly has he now established himself in the esteem of discriminating theater-goers throughout the country generally, that his coming is regarded as an annual event in the theatrical season. It is a well known fact also, that Creston Clarke always sur rounds himself with a thoroughly compe- tant supporting company, and produces his plays with an attention to detail, in the way of artistic and accurate costumes and stage settings, that is unusual. His friends have not been slow to recognize this trait and 1t is one of the potent factors of his popularity and success.
 MT. Clarke's present season has been one of prosperity. Miss Adelaide Prince whose talent and-charming beauty and grace have won for her place in the forefront of the prominent actresses of today, is at the head of MT. Clarke's company of players.

Billie West and his splendid aggrega- ton of minstrelry held the boards at o'Brien's opera house last night, and put on performance that gave eminent satis- faction to a large audience.
 The fun was furnished by Carroll John son, Fred Warren, Pete Thompson, Eddie Horan, Tommy Hayes and Lew Tracey, and genuine old-fashioned first part. with elegant stage setting, gave a, reminiscense of those good old days that use to was."

 The performance was brought to a close with a realistic reproduction of the storm ing of San Juan hdll, Into which was inject ed some excellent humor by Johnson and Warren.
 The entire performance was thoroughly in keeping with Mir. Vests high standard of minstrelsy. and takes rank with tine best.

Willie Collier

The attraction at O'Brien's opera house tonight will be the popular comedian, Will lie Collier, and his company of players in his new play, entitled ''Mr. Smooth" The engagement is for one night only
 The remarkable success of MT. Collier and the rapid manner in which he has be- come one of the leading stars in the theat- rical Armament has surprised even his most ardent admirers; and although it has been but a few years since he first started his stellar career. he is today recognized as one of tine funniest men on the stage, and his audience throughout the entire country are invariably large and fashion able.
 In the production of his new play, MT. Smooth" MT. Collier demonstrated that he is equally as clever as a playwright as he is as a comedian. The piece has already been presented in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, and in all of these cities its success was instantaneous and it seldom falls to the lot of any comedy company to receive such fulsome praise as filled the columns of the daily papers in each of these cities. "A strong company will be in the support, and an elaborate scenic pro- duction will be in evidence.

The Musketeers


 Tomorrow night James O'NdiH and a carefully selected company will be the at traction at OBrien's opera house, in an elaborate production of '@The Musketeers,'' - Of the play, the Atlanta Constitution says: ''The story of the 'nhe Musketeers" is so well known that its telling would be trite. Suffice it, that the play follows the book carefully, and gives the principal in- cidents with great accuracy in the main. Only where the exigencies of dramatic expression require it, is liberty taken with the original, and in each instance this lib- erty results in a lleightening of the artistic effect. -,.--
 "Of the individual acts there were many that were so thrilingly dramatic that the audience was compelled to the most com- is not the exception, but the rule. It be- gins with the close of the first scene when Miladi is branded with the fleur de lis, and ends only when the plot of Miladi and the cardinal is disclosed. Undoubtedly the finest bit of acting takes place an the fourth tableaux, when D'Artagnan dis covers the fieur de Ms on the arm of Mila- di, and simultaneously finds that he is entrapped. It ends with Miladi writhing and screaming in impotent anger, and D'Artag- man escaping through the easement after disarming the guards.
 The advance sale is very large, and in- dtcates a packed house.

as Result.
Lincoln, Neb. Dec. 12.-Indications
are that Nebraska fugitive murder
er has just been captured and will be
brought to justice thru remarkable
exhibition of mental telepathic inter-
est existing between sister and broth
er. On the night of November % last
w. H. Fullhart, wealthy cattleman
living near Broken Bow, Custer coun-

night his sister, Phoebe Fullhart, liv-

experienced a remarkable dream, in
which she saw plainly every detail Of
her brothers murder and went thru a
bitter struggle with the murderer.
She awoke in a perspiring condition
and was nearly Frustrated from 'ner-
vous weakness.
The crime in Nebraska was not dis
covered until two days later, when
the sister received news of it. She at
once forwarded a description of the
man she had seen kill her brother in
her dreams, and suspected man tai
| lied in appearance exactly with this
description. He was arrested and the

JUDGES UPHOLD
ANTITRUST LAW
An Important Decision in Illinois Thi:
Morning Concerning Trusts-con-
stitutionaIty of Law Upheld.

Chicago, Dec. 1s.-Judges Tuley,
Waterman and Dunno, of the circuit
court, sitting en- banc today, handed
down a decision in corporation cases,
involving the constitutionality of the
antitrust laws of Illinois, in which
the court ruled that corporations in
Illinois must continue to make affidav-
it's to the secretary of state that they
are in no way connected with any
trust or combination in restraint of
trade. The decision, in effect, sus-
tains that section of the antitrust law
which compels filing, under penalty, of
afhdavits from each corporation that
| it is innocent of any connection with
trust.
| Section one, of the antitrust act, as
amended, which describes and de-
fines trusts, is held to be unconstitu-
tional by two. of the judges, but the
court is unanimous in declaring the
amendatory section providing for fiji.
! ing affidavits does not fall within the
section. The decision involves the
enforcement of fines of $50 on nearly
800 Illinois corporations which refus
ed to file affidavits with the secretary
OF state as required by law.
Say it is Victory.
Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE decision Of
the court in respect to section one is
regarded by attorneys for the defense
as distinct victory for the corpora
tons and is looked upon as multiplying
the antitrust law of the state in its
most vital part.
