As April % is the anniversary of
Shakespeare's birthday. it is proposed to
give the annual play on that date each
year. The unusual combination of at
fractions at New Haven on these two days
of this year ensures even larger out of
town attendance than ordinarily has greet
ed the efforts of the association. as the
advance sale of seats and boxes already
abundantly testifes. The occurrence of
the fale-Columbia baseball game on the
afternoon of April %. and of the last
symphony orchestra concert in the series
on the afternoon of April "a. make it GER
tain that many social parties from towns
and cities in the vicinity will take ad-

Yale boys themselves are eagerly antici-

GALLANT OFFICER DEAD.
Lieutenant Commander W. H. Scheutze
Passes Away at Naval Hospital.

Lieut.. Commander William II. Scheutze.
Chief OF the Compass Division of the
Navy Department. died suddenly at an
early hour yesterday morning at the Naval
Hospital in this city. His death was due
to complication of acute stomach and
lung troubles. He was a native of St.
Louis. He was never married. Until
word can be received from his relatives
no definite funeral arrangements will be
made.
Commander ScheutZe's death ends one of
the most creditable and interesting ca
recrs of the naval service. He was ap-
pointed to the Naval Academy from Mis-
souri,, and graduated at the head of his
class in 1867 He was selected to go on
the expedition which went into the Lena
Delta, and brought back the bodies of
those who died in the famous Arctic ex-
pedition of De Long in the ill-fated Jean
ette. He spoke Russian fluently, and in.
1857 was sent again to the far north, at
the instance of the State Department, to
distribute presents among the natives OF
northern Siberia In return for their kind
nesses TO the De Long party.
Commander ScheutZe was a man of high
attainments, unusually we'll equipped for
the scientic branches of the naval service
and was an expert in compass work, bring
ing that instrument TO high state of per
fection for the navy. He was the naviga-
tor of the Iowa during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war and took part in the battle Of
Santiago. His last duty was in charge of
the Compass Division of the Bureau of
Equipment.

down the value of stocks. II would act
almost as conGscation,' said Mr.. Glover
Mr.. Worthington argued that the pres
ent revenues collected in the District are
as large as those in cities generally. He
stated that be had been able to make
only hasty examination of statistics. but
that the city is among the foremost Of
American cities in the amount of revenue
raised per capita. He asked Mr.. McMil-
Ian how much it was proposed TO in
crease the revenues by the bill, and by
increased assessments on real estate.
About s.. .000, ,0OO," said Mr.. Mcmillan.
Mr.. Worthington expressed the very
positive opinion that such an increase
would make the per capita taxation high
er than in almost any ether city in the
Union. He called attention TO the addi-
tional fact that there are something like
100. 600 colored people in the District who
pay almost no tax, and add practically
nothing 10 the wealth of the city except
as laborers. He also suggested that the
city is not a manufacturing centrA and
never will be, probably. and that its pro-
ducticn Of wealth is much less than that
of most other cities.

by one OF the Senate committee that the
fairer way would be 10 estimate by prop
erty values. The opinion was expressed
by him that Washington is paying much
less than most cities on the value of its
real estate.
Tax on Gross Earnings.
The delegation expressed their belief
that ihe tax should be Ii2 per cent on
gross earnings only.
Mr.. Stewart asked II a per cent tax
on earnings would be considered favor
ably, and this also was acquiesced in
Senator Mcmillan, however, stated that
such tax would raise so little additional
revenue that 1t would not be worth while
He suggested that If there Is to be any
tax on earnings it should be at least
per cent. the rate paid by the street rair-
way companies.
Mr.. Glover said few words in favor
CT an amendment excepting clothing aud
articles OF personal adornment from Tie
property TO be taxed. He said that the
revenue raised from these classes of prop
erty would be very small and that the
inquisitorisl features connected with the
assessing and collecting OF the tax would
be greatly Objectionable to many people.
The committee promised the delegation
that 1t would take their arguments under
advisement.

great skill and ability TO do the frescoing.
He examined the work of noted artists
aud frescoers from all parts of the coun-
try, and finally decided upon Mr.. Cars
tens as the most competent person to
undertake the work. The latter had been
In this country but short time, and was
making his home in New York.
General Megs made numerous overtures
to secure the services of Mr.. Carstens,
but the latter had won so fine reputa-

flooded with business. On this account he
hesitated TO accept the offer TO superin

BEST YET
Was the Performance of Last of the
Seminoles,,'

These who were fortunate enough to
have gone to Bell park theatet last
night saw in THE Last of the Semi
noles,' the best performance vet given
by the Spooner Dramatic company,
and a sample Of clever acting by Mr.
+. E. Spooner probably never excelled
by any actor ever seen here. The
acting of Miss Spooner, Mr. Baker and
Mr.. Dudley was spendid and fully ap-
preciated by the audience, but the
character of their several parts was
not of such nature as to appeal to
the audience with that force that di,
Mr.. Spooner. as Wha-no-tee. the Sem
mole chief and the last of his race.
Mr.. Spooner's presentation of this in
teersting character was a masterful
effort. and never was Pine Bluff au-
dience so enthused before. Mr..
Spooner makes an ideal Indian His
splendid physique and clear. we'll de-
fined profile enables him to appear as
an Indian without the slightest make
up other than a wig. His presentation
of the Indian chief; of his devotion to
a friend: his bravery and magnani-
nifty; his willy nature; his fondness
for f1rewater; his war dances, and in
carnations. and his unforgiving nature,
was something seldom, if ever, seen
here before. and the duel of knives
between Mr.. Spooner, as the Indian
chief. and Mr.. Baker. as Jake Nc
Klosky., was realistic in the highest
degree.
The action was centered about Zoe,
the octoroon girl, an interesting char
acter, prettily enacted by Miss
Spooner.
The acting of Mr. Baker was Sec
ond only to Mr.. Spooned's. AS Jake
McKlosky, rather deep-dyed william,
he did some superb acting.
Mr.. Frank Dudley. as Sam Scudder,
the Yankee .overseer, was acceptable,
IS Frank always is.
Mr.. Edgar Mayo essayed the char
acter. of Pete. IAN ole uncle,' and
amused the audience considerably in
the delineation of the old slave and
body servant.
Tonight this splendid attraction will
be reproduced as benefit for the Red
Men. The advance sale has been ex,
ceptionally good, and it is predicted
that over thousand will attend.

Marvin e. HoIderness.

Mr.. Marvin E. Eolderness, who re.
Gently graduated with high honors
at Vanderbilt university. stopped OF
in Pine Bluff yesterday en- route to
his home at Fordyce. Mr.. Holderness
took a stand among the leaders in
that great institution, having repre-
sented the student body in many
places of prominence and distinction.
During his four years course he had
bestowed upon him the highest honor
in the gift of his class, that of pres
ident, as we'll as that of his fraternity
having been eminent archon. The
Athletic association paid compli
ment to his business ability by max
ing him varsity manager. In addition
70 a general interest in all phrases OF
college life, he held for the last three
years a responsible position in the Of
fees of the university. He was the
guest of his brothers, Messr. H. l. anc
Jane Holderness, while here.
