The addition of Edith Warrington, Margaret Mills. Lena Merville and Cora Leslie to the company has augmented the vocal quality of the performance greatly George German, Frank Deshon, H. M. Morse, William Pullman and a host of others will be seen in the comedy roles. While this attraction is intimately known ito the great mass of theater goers. a resume of it's chief attrac- tive features will not be out of Diece, it's strength and attractiveness lie largely in it's clean and altogether healthy tone and in the care which is taken to maintain 1t as pre-eminently an entertainment to give pleasure to children as well to those of larger growth. Its music pallets and pie torial embellishments are in themselves sufficient to give popularity of great de- gree. The melondies are rhythmical and have the rippling cadence that comments them to the popular ear. The pallets pos- sess distinct beauty, each in it's own way.

stuart Robson Coming in a New Play

stuart Robson Coming in a New Play
 Prosperity has followed Stuart Robson's peregrinations in the comedy field for a good many years now, but it remained for the nineteenth century to cover him with the roses of absolute success, which has come in the shape of Augustus Thomas latest effort at playwriting entitled "Oli- yer Goldsmith, and written around the life of that famous Irish poet. Nobody living and playing comedy brings such depths of intellectual grace, so much soft persuasive wit and mental grasp of char acter as Stuart Robson. The company, too, which MT Robson will bring us is a splendid one. MT Thomas play calls for twenty-five speaking parts, the principal members for which MT Robson has en- gagged Henry E. Dixey, who will appear as David Garrick; Walter Hale, as Edmund Burke, that veteran actor; Henry A. Weaver, Sr., Johnson; Beaumont Smith as Roswell; Jeffreys Lewis Mrs. Feath- erstone; Ellen Mortimer as Catherine Hor- neck, and last but not least, Miss Florence Rockwell Mary Horneck. "Oliver Gold smith" will be the attraction at OBrien's opera house tonight

readily said he would not. It will be re- membered that he formerly claimed that Warnock fired first, but he now acknowl- edges that he fired the first shot. He told the details as follows:
 Details of the Shooting
 "I shot first. The Sunday it happened was s. ting down at the fire place and my wife was also sitting by the fire with the children. I was sitting with my head cast down, and she looked out and said: There is somebody out there Raising up l saw some one pass tine back window, but don't know who it was. I started towards the window and stopped. I heard some one knock on the fence, and got my pistol, which was hanging up just above the man. tie piece When got 1t went to the door and saw man coming in at the gate. did not know 1t. was MT. Warnock, as I had never seen him. I met him at the door, which pulled open and shot at him. shot four times. opening the door and shooting between the cracks each time. I shot him twice. When fired he was standing upon the porch with his pistol in his hand. When I first saw him he had his hands in his pockets
 Here Golson stated that he did not know who fired the shot which seemed ito have been made by a H-caHbre bullet. He con- tinued:
 '.He said nothing to me, and as he ran up shot him, and he began to shoot, but just before he was leaning over with his hands in his pockets. do not know what he was doing. I fired and stepped back into the room but did not shoot through the door. I think the first shot I fired struck Warnock in the breast. When left the house and started up the alley did not see nor hear any one, but supposed there were others, as had seem some one in the back yard When I went to the door did not mean to shoot, and do not know why the notion struck me-"
 His Criminal Record
 Asked If he knew he was wanted by the officers, he said:
 q was guilty of stealing a watch from a man in Montgomery. My brother-in-law sold the watch for s15O and from that it became known that I got the watch. He was sentenced for two or three years. His name ds Clarence Goodson, and he did not steal the watch.
 After leaving the placeof the shooting I was scared. I do not know what did. met a man near the corner between Fif- teenth street and Third avenue. He asked who was that shooting. My gun was then in my hand. was not well known tnBir-

GOLSON PASSED THE
 NIGHT IN PRAYER
Condemned Negro Will Hang et a -> .-. Noon Today.
IS RESIGNED TO HIS FATE
Made First Full Confession of His Guilt Yesterday Afternoon, Telling How He Killed Poor Bob Warnock-
 Everything in Readiness

Will Golson, the slayer of Chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Warnock, will pay the pen alty of his crime on the gallows at 12 o'clock today.
 The negro is resigned to his fate and will march to his death with a firm tread unless he weakens at the last moment, which is not probable.
 A message from the jail at an early hour this morning was to the effect that Golson had passed the night in praying.
 The regular tick of the clock in the War den's office below as it marked the flight of time that brought the doomed man nearer to death was the only sound that disturbed the stiffness of the night, save the low nut tering of the prisoner who knelt beside his bunk in the condemned cell.
 The death watch, within a few feet of ,he cell door, sat mute and immovable during the long vig.ls of the n ght the only witness to the doomed mans pleadings.
 Yesterday afternoon Galson made tt1e first fuM confession of his guilt, graphically describing the manner in which he sent '1le soul of the brave officer on to eternity.
 He spoke earnestly, 6ut at times ffs ter r.L,le ignorance came to his relief, and for the moment a smile would fit across his face as he referred to some amusing snci- dent in his career.

Engaged With His Wife

An Age-Herald reporter entered the big room over the warden's office at 2:30 clock, and found the condemned man earnestly engaged in conversation with his wife, who had been admitted through the courtey of Sheriff O'Bren.
 The negro spoke in low tones, and ap- peared to be deeply impressed, and during the conversation was not disturbed.
 After his wife had taken her departure, Golson frightened up, and spoke freely saying that he had made his peace with God, and was resigned to his fate.
 He spoke of the visitation of angels, who had beckonoi him to heaven and of his waking up to find it only dream, yet he expressed explicit faith in the premoni- tion.
 A source of great consolation to him ap- peared to be a song which he said had come to him few nights since as he lay

 During his recital of the details, report CTS for the afternoon papers were shown in and the trio of newspaper men listened attentively as the negro went on with his story
 When asked if he would stick to the same story he told when he. was on trial, he readily said he would not. It will be re- membered that he formerly claimed that Warnock fired first, but he now acknowl- edges that he fired the first shot. He told the details as follows:

Mondays Baltimore american con-
tanned the following editorial anent
the rush to Cape Nome, Alaska, which
may be of interest to the readers of
this paper, touching, as it does, upon
arsubject in which many are interest
ed since the departure of number of
the residents of this county for the
gold fields
The rush to the new gold region
about Cape Nome has begun. A
steamer sailed yesterday from Seattle
with six hundred passengers, and
Others from the same port left. last
week with hundreds destined for the
same place. Sail vessels and steamers
from San Francisco and other Pacific
ports will add their quota, so that by
the middle or last of June, when op-
erations can be conducted without
serious interference from cold, the
place will probably be crowded.
Hundreds have gone from the Klon-
dixie region, miners always rushing
to the newest gold fields, often on the
strength of wild rumors. If reports
can be believed, the Cape Nome region
is probably the richest section vet
discovered. The gold, being on the
shore, is easier to extract, and the
hardships will doubtless not exceed
those of the Klondike.
Last year the output from all the
new gold region was very large, the
exact amount being more or less
guesswork, but the inducements have
been suf1iclently great to warrant the
building of railroad and to increase
the facilities for transportation gen
orally, all of which will have the eff
feet of lessening the cost of extracting
the metal. The improved methods
of mining have revolutionized the
business as compared with what pre-
vailed in the old days.
The gold fever is quite as contagious
as 1T was fifty years ago. In Alaska
to-day can be found men from all
over the world. A policeman in Bal
timore the other day gave up the
quiet and safe pursuit of patrolling
his beat for eighteen dollars week
to try his fortune in the great North
west. Several Baltimoreans have
done so well in Alaska that they have
concluded to add to their pile before
returning home to enjoy their wealth.
The love OF money may not quite be
the root Of all evil, but the desire to
''strike it rich is as keen as it has
ever been.
