PRIMROSE AND DoCKsTADER's AT THE HYPERION THIS EVEN

PRIMROSE AND DOCKSTADER'S s
 AT THE HYPERION THIS EVEN ING.
 Of the numerous good theatrical at fractions placed before our fastidious public this season, that of Primrose and Dockstader and their company of min strel talent, which opens this evening at the Hyperion is assuredly the best From curtain rise to finale, one contin- ued round of effervescent merriment
 and fun greets the ear, Nor is this all,
 the entertaining the beautiful, and the
 marvellous furnish food for all, whether
 it be the base first nighter or the most
 insatiate of minds among the gallery
 gods. At one time in the history of
 entertainment, it was thought that
 minstrelsy had seen its best days, but
 this was only when promoters had fail- ed to grasp it's true inwardness It
 took such genius as that of America's two greatest purveyors of black-face comedy to discover and give to the public this nepenthe of life tumultuous that else would leave existence too of- ten most weary treadmill. And SO it has come to be that again Is minstrelsy to the fore, not the old time minstrelsy of a comic song or two in nearly the same air and key. few jokes hoary with age that would need a Nation hatchet to crack, few minutes pain ful with sounds of rattling bones and wheezy banjos-but the newer fresher, livelier minstrelsy of the electrical age, when everything goes with vim, a dash and a sparkle that often causes even the best informed as to the novel? ties and innovations of the new century to inquire: What wonderful thing will be done next?" and patrons and friends, comprehending their efforts, have re- sponded with such hearty appreciation that wherever this great company vis- its, houses are crowded to repletion with host of well satisfied spectators, who go away and say we nave passed a very enjoyable evening, Ego thou and do likewise" Regular prices prevail

the masters gowns have long square
coTnered extensions on their sleeves and
a doctors gown always is faced down
the front with velvet and barred with
three stripes OF velvet on the sleeve.
These trimmings may be black or black
piped, with color of the wearers degree,
or all of scarlet, or blue. or purple, as
the degree was given by this or that
faculty. The gowns, all black, are most
effective foundations for the brilliant
coloring OF the hoods hanging from the
shoulders
All the colleges affect the traditional
mortar-board cap; and here, too, an easy
distinguishing mark exists in the gold
tassels the doctors are allowed to wear
instead of the black ones worn by the
bachelors and masters More and more
frequently these costumes are being
adopted for use at the more elaborate Of
academic functions. Their use was very
ge>Sral at the Princeton anniversary ceie-
bration and at the recent Inauguration
OF President Hadley. of Yale. There was
hardly an official or a delegate who did
not appear In his appropriate dress

TO BE REVIEWED BY MIR. ROOT.
VIII Consider Records in Various
Co.rts-MartiaI Cnses.

A number of military courts-martiaf
records will be ready for the immediate
consideration of Secretary Root upon his
return to Washington next week. y case
which has attracted considerable atts-i-
tion is that of Lieut.. Preston Brown.
Second Infantry. who, it is understood.
has been sentenced to dismissal by gen.
eraI ceurt-martial which convened soma
time ago in the Philippines.
Lieutenant Brown comes from an old
Kentucky family and a number of prom
inent KentuclSians, including Associate
Justice Harlan, Of the Supreme Court,
have interested themselves in his be-
half. The record of the case contains
some interesting facts. Brown was origi-
nally charged with murder in the first
degree. but the court did not find him
guilty of that charge The incident in
which Lieutenant Brown was involved oc-
CURED In the autumn of 1866, and while IL
attracted much local comment at the
time, no official cognizance of the matter
was taken untilR Major r. A Brown in
spector general of the Department OF
Southern LGzon. learned of the case and
preferred charges against the infantry
officer
1t appears that soldier of the Second
Infantry. while attempting to ford a
spectator stood idly by, although able to
save the soldier. The indifference of tho
Filipino. which was reported to Lieuten-
ant Brown by the drowned soldiers COM
rades, so exasperated the officer that he
drew his revolver and shot the native,
killing him on the spot.
Another case is that OF James C. Read.
n subsistence officer. who was sentenced
to dismissal from the army and three
years confinement. Read is now in prison
in Manila but his attorneys have filed a
brief in which the point regarding the
composition of the court. that the officers
of the Regular Army who formed part Of
the court had not authority to Try the ac-
cused, volunteer officer. The Judge Ad-
vocate General opposes this view in his
communication to the Secretary Another
point raised is that the Provost Marshal
General, who ordered the court-Inartial in
Reads case, had no authority for such
action, first, because a state of war did
not exist on April TO- 1901. when the court
was appointed. and, second. because that
official was not a commander of a iivis-
ion or of a separate brigade OF troops
1t is held that Read was a STAFF officer
assigned to duty and serving under the
command OF a division commander with
no connection with the Provost Marshal
Court. Counsel for Read also insist that
the sentence mas not been confirmed by
the proper authority, and that It's exc
cution was unlawful
