THREE years ago the late Gen. L. A.
Wood, whom the senate confirmed
this week as 5rigadier general. and
who is governor general of Cuba, was
a plain assistant surgeon with the
rank of captain, and no other soldier
in the United States army has risen as
rapidly as he. When he became col
onel of Rough Riders in May. 1898. he
was unknown outside small circle of
friends in the army at Washington.
His brilliant dash at Las Guasimas
made him brigadier general of vol
unteers, and the fight of San Juan
hill, in which he commanded bril-
gade, made him military governor of
Santiago province. His success there
led to his selection by the president as
governor general of Cuba, and he has
ruled the island with the power of a
car. Gen. Wood is only 40 years old.

decided that public franchise may
be a valuable asset of semi-public
corporation; that its value may be de-
termined in dollars and it may be as
sessed that amount just the same as
the tangible property of the corpora
tion. Under this decision-which
Pingree will hail with Joy, railroads,

and other franchises from cities may
be assessed the computed value of
such franchise in addition to the as
sessment upon capital stock and tan

SHORT STAGE STORIES.

Hi Henry's minstrel organization
held forth at Harper's theatre last
night with a performance that was
altogether pleasing. embracing. aside
from the old-time black face features,
novelties that added variety and spice
to the entertainment. The sudience
nearly filed the house and appeared
to enjoy the show from beginning to
finish. The first part was rather
gorgeous affair, with it's many cleo
trio lights, elaborate scenery, uni
formed orchestra in the rear and the
richly dressed performers. Some of
the jokes were Just trifie aged, but
the others were good enough. The
instrumental music was a feature,
Hi Henry giving q cornet solo with
band accompaniment and following
it with limitations of Irish bagpipes,
etc. If anything there was too much
brass music. The singing and dapc-
ing were up to the minstrel standard.
the clay modeler was we'll received,
as was the whistler, the sensational
act, the tumbling by the Coutre
brothers, being reserved till the last.
They gave sensational yet clean and
clever exhibition, one that completely
captivated the audience. The enter
tainment deserved the generous pat
ronage it received; but today is heard
the usual complaint of the unequal
distribution of heat in the theatre.
Town Topics is a farce comedy
that will shine in its full glory at
Harper's theatre Sunday, Feb. IL.
The piece is known throughout the
country as one of the cleveresJ of
laugh-producers, having been pre-
sented in all OF the large cities. One
of the noteworthy features is that it
is absolutely free from any vulgarity.
and there is not coarse thing said
or done on the stage during the en-
tire performance.
Bert A. Williams and George w.
Walker, known as the two real coons,
who are now touring the country with
their latest and most successful must
cal comedy, s'Sons of Ham," which
will be seen at the Burtis Sunday
night, commenced their theatrical
career in San Francisco in the spring
of 1898. Their first appearance was
with show composed of black and
white performers. known as Martin &
Belig's wandering minstrels. The
travelled from place to place |
in wagons and both being clever
musicians they had to double in brass |
in the band beside doing their turn on |
the stage. Williams and Walker are |
original in their ideas, writing all |
heir noW and un-to-dafa eonora and /
changing their play each season.
They stop at the leading hotels
through the country. and prefer to
AXE meal in private apartments to
avoid any remarks by white guests |
who might object to their presence.
Both are possessed of a pleasing per-
'onalityian avoid notoriety as much
IS possible outside of their business.
