A large and appreciative audience
heard and saw MIR. Armstrong; pre-
sentation of THE Little Minister" last
night The story was told in three
acts, with accompanying pictures. Mr.
Armstrong; impersonation is excellent
anu MS exquisite shadings of speech
run from his own pure Bostonese
through the cultured speech of the Lit
tie Minister to the broad Scotch Of the

of the Democratic members of the
House have suggested the avail
ability of Representative B. F.
Caldwell of the Springfield, ILL.,, dis
trict as running mate with Colonel
Bryan.
MIR. Caldwell is a new member of
the House, but already he has made
a most favorable impression on his
colleagues. He is a man of wealth,
a banker, and a strong believer IN
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to /. He is a young,
vigorous man, 6ne organizer and
with great energy. These qualities
have impressed many of his as
sociates with the fact that he would
be desirable candidate for the vice
presidency. Mr., Caldwell stands
high in business and political cir
cles in Illinois, and his friends be-
lieve he would make a good cam.
paign, especially in the West.

The Dispicable Conduct Of the Viz
oaya's Crew at the Battle of
Santiago.

The contrast between the two
nations stands out very clearly in
connection with the Vizcaya, says
Ira Nelson Hollis in the Atlantic.
The torpedo boat Ericsson ran close
alongside of her, and sent a small
boat to take off all that were alive
of her crew. A few boats from the
down assisted. The Vizcaya was on
fire fore and aft; the ammunition on
board was exploding, and the guns
that had been left loaded were
going off one after another in the
intense heat, 10 say nothing of the
proximity Of the shore. The posi-
tion of the little craft has been de.
scribed as perilous in the extreme.
Our men risked their lives re-
peatedly to help their fallen enemy;
but no sooner were the Spaniards
transferred to the deck of the Erics.
son than they urged immediate
withdrawal without regard to their
comrades who had been left be-
hind. To the honor of our navy,
Lieut.. Ushur remained until every
living being had been rescued from
the burning ship. A similar scene
was enacted around the two tor
pedo boat destreyers. 1t was a case
of mad panic on the one side, and
of perfect GOODNESS on the other.
One officer of the Vizcaya afterward
stated on board the Iowa that they
were obliged to close the gun ports
on the disengaged side of the ship,
to prevent the men from jumping
overheard rather than face the
American gun fire.
