comes to English's tomorrow evening for
an engagement Of three nights and a
Wednesday matinee. Her play this season
is a dramatization of George w. Cables
novel of the same name. The heroine of
THE Cavalier is Charlotte Durand a
daughter of that part of the South of which
Mr.. Cable delights to write-Louisiana-
and the character is said to be most ad-
mirably suited to this popular actress. The
novel had very wide popularity on ac-
count Of its blending Of sentiment and ro-
nance, for which the rebellion offered a
field Of vivid coloring and the dramatiza-
ton is credited with preserving in a splen-
did way the interest and continuity of the
story.
Miss Marlowe succeeded in bringing real
ity TO her former war drama, Barbara
Frietchie." although the play was not alto
gether logical one. and in this new piece
she is said to have much better opportu-
mites Tor a OiSp4ay OF ner Talents. 1t Is
understood that THE Cavalier offers a
charming medium for her loveliness of per-
son and every chance for her emotional
work in its most truthful, refined and sin
ceTe light.
Her present vehicle. while play of the
same class as Barbara Frietchie," is one
with a more pronounced element of plausi-
bility. In the first act, which passes at the
headquarters OF a Confederate commander,
il is disclosed that Charlotte Durand has
many admirers among the Southern Off
GERS and also among Northern prisoners.
Among them, Lieutenant Ferry, a Confed-
crate, is in some degree of favor, or rather
would be if IL were not for the fact that
Charlotte is already engaged to marry Cap
tain Oliver, also a SOutherner. The two
become welded, but hardly is the cere-
mOny ended when the bride discovers that
Oliver is a traitor and has returned from
the North to the Confederate lines as
Union spy. From this moment Charlotte's 8
affection is turned, although almost insen-
sibly at first, toward Ferry. She spurns
Oliver and sends him away from her, but
does not betray his confidence. And then
Charlotte becomes active partisan in
the great struggle that is going on-almost
a combatant, in fact-and much of the in
terest of the story arises from her efforts

Bird Slaughter.

The total number of packages Of
osprey feathers sold in London last
year was 1,60S, and of the birds Of
paradise 1852. A package of osprey
feathers varies in amount from two
or three to over 100 ounces, but a
careful computation shows the aver
age to be about 30 ounces to the pack
age. This gives a total Of 1920
ounces, and on the received estimate
that four birds are required to yield
one ounce OF plumes, we have a total
of 192,960 birds killed In the breed
