THE GOLD LEGION.
A Special Meeting Tomorrow Night at
the TOntine.

A Special Meeting Tomorrow Night at
the TOntine.
The gold legion, the oldest campaign
marching club in the state, is to be-
come a perpetual organiza ton, and
steps have been taken by the members
of the organization in that direction. A
special meeting of the members has
been called for tomorrow night at the
Tontine hotel, and the arrangements
for the perpetuation Of the organization
will be completed.
There are about $50 that are enrolled
in the company, but the membership
will not be confined to the participants
of the last campaign. There are a
number of marchers who shouldered
the gun torch in 49, and in 1872 as well.
All these old members are to be eligi-
BILE to the perpetual organization, and
as the roll books Of the past years have
been lost, it is expected that they will
put in their appearance without receiv-
ing a notice of the meeting.
The meeting tomorrow night is ex-
pected to be an enthusiastic one and
there is a movement on foot among the
members to hold reunion and ban
quet and to repeat the affairs annually.

about the two little pickaninnie6 that

ENTERTAINM ENTS,
Hyperion 'rheater.

| l.. C. Behman, manager for the Four
Cohans, now starring in THE Cover
nor's Son." which will be seen at the
| Hyperion Wednesday night, February
| 10. is one of the foremost factors OF
American theatricals, and he has &C.
cumulated a great fortune. Mr.. Beh-
man is the Junior and active member of
the firm of Hyde & Behman the theat-
rical magnates of Brooklyn, who con-
troll no less than ten handsome play
houses and own most OF them outright.
He has the faculty of feeling the popu
lar pulse with precision. He is quick
to decide what course to pursue and
having reached the decision he goes
ahead unruf1led by doubt; acting upon
the theory that whatever is worth do
ing is worth doing we'll; he considers
the best is never too dear. He has paid
salaries and given guarantees to at
fractions that have made other man
ayers gasp, but in every such instance
his seeming extravaganza has been JUS
titled by proportionate profits.
Leo Ditrichsteih in dramatizing ''Un-
leavened Bread" has been able it would
appear, to maintain all the sensational
incidents of the story He has divided
the play into four acts, the first occur
ing at Selmas home, Benham; two are
laid in Selma's New York home, and
the last in Albany when she was the
wife of Governor Lyons. One thing can
absolutely be relied upon, the excellence
of the company. A finer company of
players has not been brought together
in years. The list includes such we'll
known performers as Elizabeth Tyree,
Edward j. Morgan, Eleanor Robson,
George Fawcett. Alice Fisher, George
Woodward, Malcolm Williams Morton
Selten, Margaret Fuller, Virginia Blu

sented here by the entire New York

NO PORTO RICO DECISION YET
Another Recess of the United States
Supreme Court

Another Recess of the United States
Supreme Court.
Washington, Feb 1.-THE supreme
court held half hour session to-day to
announce opinions and receive motions,
and then took another recess until Mon
day, the 25th instant. There was no
decision Of the Porto Rican cases, al
though report was current about the
capitol early in the day that it would
be handed down.
Solicitor General Richards in behalf
of the government to-day filed in the
United States supreme court a supple
mental brief in the insular cases, re-
viewing some of the points raised by
opposing counsel which had not hith-
erto been covered by the government.
One Of the questions discussed IS that
as to when a treaty takes effect.
Mr.. Carlisle insisted that the transfer
of sovereignty, under the decisions of
this court, takes place in the case Of
conquered territory at the date Of the
and in the case of territory
ceded after purchase, as the date Of the
treaty Replying. Mr.. Richards Gays,
while 1T Is true "a treaty is considered
binding from date of it's signature, a
different rule prevails where the treaty
operates on individual rights. He con-
cludes:
AS the individual citizen on whose
rights of property it operates has no
means Of knowing anything of it while
before the Senate it would be wrong
in principle to hold him bound by 1t,
as the law Of the land, until it was
ratified and proclaimed. And to con-
strue the law so as to make the ratifi-
cation of the treaty relate back to it's
thereby divesting a title al
ready vested, would be manifestly I'M
lust and cannot be sanctioned,

success. The piece is celebrated for it's

given in detail with all the wealth Of

plause last night and curtain calls were
in evidence throughout the evening.
That a "hit" was made was the general
comment last night as the large audi

Earl's Court Exhibition in the third

boxing ring at the National club in
London and the Epson Downs race

of special mention. The cast Is one of
exceptional merit. Lawrence Inslee was
excellent as the hero. Mr.. Henderson
as money lender did an excellent bit
of work. James ]. Boyd was good as

AL. w. Martin took unto himself a
huge task when he undertook a strict
ly legitimate and thorough of that much
abused but excellent play "Uncle Toms
Cabin" As a result of years of abuse,
counterfeit productions, cheap mount
ing and cheaper casts, the fine old play
has of late years been looked upon with
pity by many who have read Mrs.
Stoves great story and felt the power
and pathos Of its lines But others and
these are the majority, have ridiculed
1t and laughed at its very invention To
undertake in the face Of such discour-
aging conditions the producing Of the
play in a manner worthy of the story,
and to hope for it's appreciation by the
theatergoers at large, was almost to at
tempt the impossible from the start.
