JAIL FOR BANkRUPTS.
Unired States Court ~ Appeals Renders a
Decision OF Far-ReschinC Eject to
Those in Debt.

New York. June 1.-The system of
evading payment of debt by going
into bankruptcy. which the federal
bankruptcy law made possible and
prevalent. received severe check in
the decision handed down by the
United States circuit court of appeals.
to the effect that Samuel Schlesinger.
bankrupt clothing manufacturer of
this city. must either pay or go TO
Ludlow street Jail to stay there I'M
til he does pay. Imprisonment for
debt is prohibited by a statute of the
state of New York. but this decision
sets state law at naught and makes il
possible for the courts 10 fill up the
iaiIs with bankrupts. 1t is Il sweep
ing decision and of course applies
equally in all the states. The fed
eral Judges get around the state laws
by ruling that they don't send the
bankrupt to Jail for debt, but because
he refuses to comply with an order
compelling him To deliver the assets
of his estate to his trustee in bank
ruptcy. The ruling makes a wide dis
tinction between falling for contempt
of court in refusing To pay debt Is
ordered and contempt of court in re-
fusing to turn over assets of bank
rupt estate.

Washington. June Limited States
Consul General Goodnow, at Shang-
hal, has transmitted to the state de-
partment an interesting statement re-
garding China's foreign commerce
last year. which the consul says was
characterized by an astonishing de-
yelopment. The net value of the i'm
port trade for 1899 was S1sS. 1O3.77s
double that of 1890. The importation
of opium was over 100000 in excess
of the imports during the preceding
year. The trade in cotton goods
which had remained practically sta
tionary for three years, made a great
advance, rising from S54.255,5557 in

The case against Mrs. Phyllis f..
Dodge brought by the United States
for the forfeiture OF jewelry amounting
to $4,000, resulted yesterday in a ver-
diet for Mrs. Dodge. There is some
thing mysterious, IL not romantic. hid
den In the case. This lady landed in
New York from the steamer st. Paul
from Europe about a year since, and
the custom house officials seized Jew
elry which she brought amounting TO
the considerable sum above stated. The
lady in court was the personificatIon OF
self-possession, her mind was acute
and clear; dignifed and always the
lady. The government lawyers made
vigorous attempt to discover who she
was, for there was never any Mr..
Dodge" All that the attorneys could
discover was that fact, which they al
ready knew. The lady refused to an
swer questions. as to her real name, or
whence she came. But she announced
that eleven years ago she assumed the
name Mrs. Phyllis K. Dodge" and had
ever since carried 1t; that she owned
the fine estate in New York in which
she lived. That WAS all that the gov
ernment lawyers could discover. The
case went TO the jury, but the Judge
clearly pointed out the difficulties in 1t.
The jury came back in 80 minutes with
a verdict for Mrs. Dodge"

THE WILBUR OPERA COMPANY.

If you don't wish TO laugh, IL VIII not
be good judgment TO attend the per-
formances OF Black Hussar given by
the Wilbur Opera Company at the
Providence Opera House, the first three
days of this week. If ever really COM
ic comic opera were written. Black
Hussar is the one. And If ever come
dians who could do justice to the come
dy roles graced a stage, they are the
Messrs. Harvey, Hermsen and Lane.
AS Piffkow, j. Clarence Harvey has a
role, which, as interpreted by him,
would cause a smile 10 fit across the
features of an Egyptian mummy. Mr..
Hermsen as Hackenback, the magis-
trate who trembles at the report of
gun, but who likens himself TO Napo-
leon, has a part that is most admirably
suited to his personality. Harry Lane
as the French officer, does a delightful
bit OF character work that will tend TO
increase the rapidly growing admira-
tion for his ability. But all the honors
do not fall to the men in this opera.
May Baker and Hattie Richardson. as
the two daughters of Hackensack have
abundant opportunity TO use their well
rounded soprano voices, and Margaret
Bolton as the German servant girl,
Barbara, has one OF the finest character
parts ever written for a woman In an
opera. Gus Vaughn, j. T.. Comfy and
the others will not be found wanting,
and altogether the opera promises TO
score the biggest hit of any thus far
given. Beginning with the Thursday
matinee. and continuing for the balance
of the week. that delightful classic,
Mariana, will be sung, and few need
TO be told anything concerning this
rare operate gem. AS long as music Is
known as an art Mariana will con-
tinue to be one of the best operas ever
composed. 1t made it's composer, Will
liam Vincent Wallace, famous In
night, and stamped him as England's
foremost composer
Special attention will be given the
vaudeville bill this week, there being
an entire change of the specialties.
Anna Laughlin and the large. effec-
tive chorus will give two new singing
numbers, which have been staged un-
der the personal direction Of Mr..
Frank David. Only those who have
witnessed these special numbers by
the Wilburs can appreciate their worth.
Suffice Ii. that the management main
tains that those rendered this week are
better than any of their predecessors.
Master Gabriel seems never to tire of
getting out new material. for he prom
ises to come to the fore again this week
with two new impersonations. Just
where this precious youth manages to
dig no all his material is rather
mystifying question. The Lamar Bros.
will not be outdone by the other spec
ialty artists. and have prepared four
new illustrated songs for the week Al
together. this fourth week of the en-
gagement promises 10 be n bigger one
than even the past week when stand
ing room was frequently at premium.
Matinees are given daily. and at the
matinees. hundreds NJ seats on the low
er fioor may he had at ten cents. In
the evening. the prices are ten. twen-
ty and thirty cents.
Wednesday nivht will be grand SOU
venir night. On this occasion autograph
photographs OF May Baker will be pre-
sented TO every lady by Master Gabriel.
