Good MeIodrama mt the Park.

'"The Charity Nurse which scored a
strong success with Park audiences when
presented at the popular-price local theater
last spring, began a return engagement of
three days yesterday afternoon before a
large audience that showed it's interest in
the play and appreciation of the players
with the most enthusiastic demonstrations
that the Park has known for several weeks.
The play, which was written by Thomas
Oakley, is not unlike Hall Gaines drama,
The Christian" in several respects. 1t is
filled with startling climaxes and is thor
oughly interesting in it's special class. OF
course it is somewhat illogical and over
drawn, as all of the newer melodramas
are, but it has been put together in a way
that pleaseS the average auditor of the
popular-price theaters.
The story of the play concerns the pref
ty daughter of a minister in a New Eng
land village, who allows herself to be
tempted away from her happy home to be-
come a professional singer in New York.
She IS made the victim of a mock mar
riage to the villain of the piece and later
on discovers, to her misery, that she loves
another man-the hero of the story, Of
course. Her trials and tribulations in the
great metropolis-first as a singer and aft
erward as a nurse IN a charity hospital
and her final return to her old home to
be united to the man she loves, furnish ma

Heuck & Fennessy, the Cincinnati the
atrical managers, who are directing the
tour of the play, have spared no expense
in making it one of the most attractive en-
~tertainrents of its kind before the pub
lie. The stage settings are much more
elaborate than the average in plays of this
class, and the company is in every way
a capable one. Selma Herman, the tai
ented young woman who appears as The
heroine, is the best emotional actress now
playing. on the cheaper circuits, and Is
really worthy of an important part in a
this piece SO earnestly and so convincing

gets the cruditieS of the story when she
is on the stage. Her success is due prin-

Vaudeville mt the UNIQUE.

Last night was amateur night at the
Unique and the house was well filled. A
number Of local amateurs appeared, some
for the first time before the footlights,
and their trials kept the spectators in a
continual round of laughter. The Holiday
brothers. in a duet and sketch, would have
made good had it not been for the fact
that one OF the lads was afflicted with stage
fright and left the stage. James Harrison,

DUKE OF NORFOLK WILL
WE'D HIS FIRST COUSIN
Granted Dispensation by the Pope

HE is PREMIER PEER

NEW YORK, Dec. lit is authoritative
ly announced, says a Herald dispatch from
London, that the Duke of Norfolk is en-
gagged to be married to the Hon. Gwendolyn
Mary Maxwell, eldest daughter of Lord
Herries. AS the duke and Miss Maxwell
are first cousins once removed, a dispensa-
ton from the Pope was necessary. The
duke is premier peer of England and is
ffty-five years of age. His first wife died
in 1887, and his only son, the Earl of Arun-
del, died last year, after a life of great
affliction.
1t was reported several months ago that
the Duke of Norfolk was engaged to Gladys
Deacon, and still later that he would marry
Miss Grace, another American girl.

CHARGES
JOBBERY.
Controller Davis Says Words
Were Jugg1ed in an I'm
portant Measure.

The Carson News says, 1t was no
more than what was to be expected
when another bit Of jobbery was dis
covered a day or two ago.
One of the most important mea-
sures before the Legislature was the
revenue bill. The original bill pro-
vides that at the annual meeting of
the assessors in Carson City. a ma
jority of the entire board" may tran
sact business.
Some of the reform workers for
better equalization were fearful of
that clause. as 1t was in their opinion
that some Of the assessors would gladly
stay at home did such become the
law. So 1t vas amended to read that
"a majority Of the Board present" at
the meeting could transact business.
There are fourteen members of the
| board. Under the original bill it would
require a vote Of nine OF them to pass
any motion.
Under the amendment eight mem
bers was a quorum or five members
could pass motions and transact bust
ness. The word present made a
great difference.
The amendment was accepted by
the Senate and the Assembly concur
red and the enerossed bill so read.
But in enrolling the bill the word
present was omitted and this
changed the entire section. In copy
ing the bill for the printer the word
centre" was also inserted before
Board. and SO the Statutes have 1t that
any action taken by the Board must
have the approval Of the entire board
of fourteen.
Controller Davis is positive that the
omission was made intentionally.

CUBA.
Bishop Candler Writes an Interesting Letter
AboutC Cuba.

seMe 5uohh questions as these: II Cuba
has such resources, why did not the
Spaniard find it out and enrich him
self2 And why az not Americans,
always keeneyed to turn 9 penny, find
all these things before?
To the first question I answer the
Spauiard did find out what was here,
and notwithstanding his want OF skill
and enterprise Of the highest charac-
ter he made his millions here. Else
whence so many large and wealthy
cities. Besides Havana with $50, 600
people, I mention the following cities,
none of which have less than 20, 900
inhabitants, and some of which have
above $4,000; Matsnzas, C~ienfuegos,
C%ardenss, Santa Clara. Puerto prin-
cipe, and Santiago. A page Of the
paper upon which J write would not
suffice for the names Of cities and
towns having 1000 to 0 1000 inhabi-
tants. I write a few, as Pinar del
Rio. Guanaiay. Remedies. Sagua Ia
Grande, Colon, Place.as, Cruces, Ran
ohuela, Holquin, Caribarin, Neuvitas,
Manzanillo and Guantanamo. Now
be it remembered that Cuba lacks over
10, COG. square miles Of being as large
as the state of Georgia. Gould SO
small an island sustain 80 many cities
Of such wealth as these if it were not
rich beyond all possibility Of exag-
gersticn. And it must not be forgot
ten that less than one-fourth Of Cuba
has ever been brought under cultiva-
ton. No wonder the Spaniard fought
80 hard to retain it; it was one Of his
best assets. No wonder he expended
80 much life and treasure 10 his de.
Tense; it was we'll worth defending.
And it is no wonder that Ameri-
cans, since the barriers erected by
Spain around their island Isolated as
it was by barriers of commerce, gov
eminent, religion and language have
been m~easurably removed, are rushing
in from every direction. Senator San
gully, speaking in the Cuban senate
on the treaty Of reciprocity to-dsy,
declared that since the war Ameri-
8 had invested in Cuba over $780,
O00 1000. IF these figures Of the sena-
tor are correct it is entirely within
reason to predict that at the and Of the
next ten years American investments
in Cuba will aggregate more than
$500, 000, 900 or above the value OF all
the real estate in the island at the
close Of the war.
But I must end this letter now. In
