I'VE close on Saturday night for the sea-
son of 1901"
That is Mr.. McNeary's positive statement
in regard to the closing Of Uhrig's Cave.
And Saturday night may also see the end
Of the famous light opera hall. A syndicate
Of st. Louis and Eastern capitalists has
an option on the Cave until September Is.
Frank McNeary. secretary Of the Uhrig's
Cave Amusement Company, and his brother.
John McNeary, are both interested. If the
option is closed. the plan Is to build on the
Cave site million-dolIar hotel with roof
garden arranged to accommodate light
opera.
Maud Lillian Berri probably will go to
Delmar Garden. Mr.. Moulan may go there.
too. Miss Berri said last night:
Negotiations are on and l may 60 to
Delmar. But nothing Is closed
Manager Southwell OF the Delmar Garden
Hall stated:
Probably Miss Berri and Mr. Mou,an will
closed"
He would not state that negotiations were
on for any other member OF members of
the Berri company. He said that his pres

Though Mr. McNeary makes a positive
statement that the Cave will close Saturday
night for the season, he also makes this
statement:
There Is no prospect of opening for the
remainder of the season now. l VIII rot
say what may be done in the future If the
hotel proposition does not go through
Several st. Louis singers have offered to
close the season in Miss Berr:'s place. but
the offers have been declined.
After stating that he had nothing to gay
last night to reporter for The Republic.
Mr.. McNeary said:
II am sick of the business. You don't
know what time fellow has trying to
get along with theatrical people. Many of
them are so egotistical. overbearing. self
ish and shallow that 1t Is sometimes nearly
more than man can put up with. In this
point where must either assert myself or
have my. employees run my business. No
matter what the talent. look upon persons
appearing before the footlights as employees
when in my pay. and IL we cannot reason
together. then am to be boss of my bus
mess.
IT will make no statement, because I do
not believe in saying anything to hurt any
body. And 1t would do no good. I would
not say anything detrimental to anybody"
Mr.. McNeary expressed himself freely in
company outside of Berri and Moulan. He
is very greatly interested in the prospects
for big hotel. The plans are for thou
sand-room building.
Among theatrical people in st. Louis
there is sadness because Of the closing Of
the Cave. It has long been a favorite re-
sort. and was always popular.

engaged in the action.
All that Rear Admiral Schley will say in
answer to the criticism of the course of the
Brooklyn during the battle Of Santiago, is
that she inflicted 50 per cent of the damage
inflicted by the American vessels and sus-
tanned So per cent of the damage inflicted by
the Spanish fleet.

AN OILY HABIT.

There are people who become meon-
sciously addicted to the butter habit: that
is to say. they like butter and gradually eat
little more as the months go by, until
they find they have consumed. each meal,
quite quantity Of fat that they have not
vitality enough to properly digest.
This undigt sted substance causes more
or less catarrh Of the stomach and trouble
with the bowels.
The remedy. Of course. is to largely cut
down the allowance OF butter, and for two
or three nights sup nearly a quart Of very
hot water just before going to bed. This
washes out the stomach and bowels and
gives them renewed vitality. Then the 81.

tigation of the conduct Of Rear Admiral

CURRY.
In case the findings OF the court should
lie against him he cannot be punished I'M
der the articles for the government OF the
navy.
This discovery was made by Secretary
Long, after he had received Rear Admiral
schley's letter formally requesting an In
vestigation, and had replied thereto, hearth
ly approving the application.
NO person shall be tried by court-martial
or otherwise punished the articles of war

TO have been committed more than TWO
years before the issuing of the order Tor

Of having absented himself or of some
other manifest irnpediments, shall not have

period"
Though this article effectualy eliminates
all question of punishment of Rear Admit
raj Schley in case of an adverse conclusion
by the court Of inquiry. nevertheless the
prime motive of the investigation. as far
4s the department is concerned, is to bring
the truth to light, and once and for all
end a controversy which has been fes-
fertng sore In the naval body.
The department has no desire to punish
Rear Admiral Schley. 1t had ample oppor-
:unity for such action within the two years
subsequent to the battle Of Santiago. Now
that Rear Admiral Schley himself comes
forward with q request for an investiga-
lion by his brother officers which Will re-
leve him from the odium of the charges
under which he has suffered or which will
forever disgrace him. the department Is
