The performance of "Richelieu' by Cres-
ton Clarke. at the Columbia last evening,
was well received by a large and critical
audience. Mr.. Clarke Interpreted the role
of the great French Cardinal with an ex-
cellence If finish that compelled frequent
outbu-sts OF applause His work In the
last three acts, which contain the strong
dramatic ei:maxes, was finished in reading

AN ARMY MYSTERY.
How Men Used to Disappear from the
Confederate Army and Where
They Went.

"Speaking of army mysteries" said
the captain, in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
II know of one that still remains Q
mystery SO far as the public are con-
cerned. After Pemberton's surrender
at Vicksburg his army, $1,000 strong.
was sent into a parole camp near Black
river, ten miles from the city. Penn
berton was in command, and his idea
was to hold the paroled men together
in camp, drill them, keep up their dis
cipline, so that when they were ex-
changed they would be ready for inn
mediate service in the confederate
army. But in a few days hundreds of
men disappeared from the camp. In
two weeks the deserters were num-
bered by the thousands, and Pember-
ton appealed to Grant for guards, COM
planning that the union soldiers were
enticing his men from camp and as
sisting them to get away.
"The truth was that the union men
on guard at Vicksburg heard. through
the people of the city, that fully one
half of Pemberton's men were very
much dissatisfied, and that in their talk
with their friends in Vicksburg they
had said that if they could get across
the Mississippi river they would go

joicing over the fact that they had
done their duty. The captain next
day made the veteran tell his story
and while the old vet carried the
nickname of Sub to the end of his
second term of service, no man in the
ranks of the giment haa more con.
siderate treatment from officers and
men than he.
I'm another case four brothers en-
listed in three different regiments.
The two older ones went first at the
beginning of the war. The one next
in order went in the second year. The
fourth enlisted in the third year. This
left at home two young fellows un-
der IS, who could not be spared, but
early in 1865 they brought their IA
ther $4,000 in money and asked him
to hire men in their places, and away
they went to the war. These two
boys would have Jared hard as SUBJ
stitutes had: not the story of the fam
lily gone before them to the regiment
to which they were assigned. and had
not the rank and reputation of their
brothers, long in service, opened the
way to the hearts of soldiers fighting
in front. But they were, in their fate

At the same time they were as gal

Our Island Responsibilities.
I'm accepting by the treaty of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories in
the Spanish war, the president and the
senate won the undoubted approval Of
the American people. No other course
was possible than to destroy Spain 3
sovereignty throughout the Western
Indies and in the Philippine islands.
That course created our responsibility
before the world and with the unorgan-
lied population whom our Intervention
had freed from Spain, to provide for the
maintenance Of law and order, and for
the establishment of good government
and for the performance of international
obligations. Our authority could not be
less than our responsibility. and Wher-
ever sovereign rights were extended 1t
became the high duty of the government
to maintain its authority, to put down
blessings of liberty and civilization upon
all the rescued peoples. The largest meas

their welfare and our duties shall be Sc
cured to them by law. To Cuba inde-
pendence and self-government were as
sured in the same voice by which war
was declared and to the letter this pledge
shall be performed.

There is building among the side
show features which has many charms
for the woman of fashion. 1t is the
Costume palace. In it the finest cos
tuners of Paris have We'd with each
other. in producing effects that are
startling in their richness of cut and
material. 1t contains, besides, full
display of the fashions of the time,
exact reproductions of all ages, and
here the ladies may study the gowns
their ancestors wore thousands of years
ago.
All of these are displayed in his
toric panorama that never fails to in
terest. One scene illustrates an Incl
dent in ancient Byzance. From an ele-
waited platform resplendent goddess
slowly ascends sacred staircase while
priests and other orientals worship her.
1t is a scene taken from the history of
Byzance two centuries before its cap
ture by the Turks.
Many such scenes illustrative of the
costumes of the time are taken from
ancient history, but what is rroba bly,
more interesting are the scenes from
French history. One of these is a re-
production of the Roman baths in
Paris, in which Roman patron is
teaching young Gaul woman to enter
the baths.
Another one shows the wicked Mar
guerite de Bourgogne, with her buf.
foon, standing near the fatal Tour de
| Nesle.

the cavaliers entering. while in an in.
closure near by stands an assembly OF
