"Human Hearts. A"

That ever welcome play, Human
Hearts, which is to be the attrac-
ton at Cooper Opera House, Monday
evening, Sept. 10Th, is said to be a
beautiful story of the Arkansas
hllls-beautiful because of it's sim
plicity, because of it's wholesome
truth and the lesson it brings home
to every heart. 1t is refreshing in
this day OF imported problem and
suggestive plays, to be able to listen
to an American play of plain com
mon folk.
Human Hearts" is IL tale of the
Arkansas hills plainly yet dramat-
ically told. The promise is made
that the management have not
allowed it to deteriorate in the least
degree and that both the scenic pro-
duction and the excellence of the
company have been kept up to the
top notch.' 1t is Il drama of such
intense human interest that no one
can fail to admit it's power. 1t con-
tains pathOs, comedy, love, villainy,
and every element of permanent sue
cess.

REPLY TO sCHLEY's APPEAL.
BY Middle of Next Week the President May
Announce His Conclusion.
(By the Associated Press.l

Washington. Feb. 14.-0ne of the prin-
cipal subjects discussed at the Cabinet
meeting today was the reply which the
President will make to the appeal of Ad-
miral Schley. The President has given q
good deal of attention to the matter, and
it is understood that IN the course OF a
few days, probably by the middle OF next
week, he Will be ready TO announce his
conclusion Members Of the Cabinet are
extremely reticent as TO what the Presi-
dents views beyond tile statement that
his decision undoubtedly will clear the
atmosphere somewhat upon many Of the
involved questions.
The President outlined his views on
the Schley case by reading the first draft
of his decision. Some notifications were
made in 1t today, and in view OF the fact
that II Is subject TO further and possi-
bly, important changes in text, members
OF tho Cabinet back their indisposition
TO discuss ii by the assertion that 1t 5
unsafe at this time TO predict what it's
exact effect will be. 1t is long docu-
ment, and one of its features is the clear
and concise presentation of the facts re-
garding the Santiago fight as given the
President by the captains engaged in that
battle who rwecently were summoned to
the White House to confer with him.
The decision is couched in the President S
characteristic and vigorous tone.
