BLUE JACKETS ARE
 LANDED IN NICARAGUA
PRESIDENT DiAZ CONFESSES INABILITY TO PROTECT FOR
 EiGN RESIDENTS.

Washington, Aug. 5.-American blue jackets and marines were landed in Nicaragua late Saturday night for protection of United States citizens and their property. The expedition, part of the force of the gunboat An na9olis, under Lieutenant Jas. A. Campbell, Jr, was landed at Corinto and transported by rail to Managua, the capital. arriving there early Sun day morning Lawlessness and threatened anarchy disappeared with the arrival of the blue jackets, ac- cording to Minister Weitzell's reports today.
 American forces were landed only after President Diaz had confessed inability of his government to protect the American owned railroad line from Corinto to Managua and the steamers on Lake Managua. Some of the latter had been seized by the reyolutionists under General Mena deposed minister of war Mir Weitzel demanded of General Mena the re- turn of the vessels his men had taken and used as warships in the attack on Managua.
 The American minister reported that foreigners concur with resident Americans In Managua that this ac- ton on the par. of the American naval commander was the only move that could have prevented complete an archy and the spread of disorder throughout Central America.
 The Annapolis is a small gunboa and her complement is only about 17; men, so that Captain Terhune em- 2oyed much larger proportion O his force in this instance that usually drawn from ships company for { landing party. The American collie Justin, however, probably airead! has arrived at Corinto from San Juai Del Sur. making quite an effectiv' support for the gunboat
 The state department is averse tt intervention in the factional quarrel of the Central American republics hut it is understood it's position in thi case is that the conscltutional guar antees must he respected. who who ever seeks to administer the govern ment of Nicaragua must base it's titli not upon force of arms alone, but or tine majority of tine ballots of the peo pie cast without pressure This pol icy would seem to indicate a purpos, to give at least moral support to th' Diaz government until regular cleo tions take place

WOMAN IN POLITICS.

Writing in the January Metropolitan on the efforts of Mrs. Ella Wilson, the woman mayor of HunneweIl, Kan, to introduce good government into that town, Henry Smith, says:
 ''It was four years ago that Mrs. Wilson, with her children and her in valid husband, moved to Hunnewell Those years did not bring the hoped for abolition of drinking and gam bling. Half the town believed in be- ing good and half in being bad. It was shock to the bootIeggers when they found, last April, that as a re- suit Of Mrs. Wilson's leadership, she was a nominee for mayor. A pretty good joke, of course, to think of a wo- man running the town, but-ft had better not happen So the wicked and the slothful displayed their first strea k of 'cussedness,' in preventing by means known to practical politicians the printing of Mrs. wilson's name on the ballots. However,, since the ballots were made out of paper, and the good voters had lead pencils, it was easy to write down the name of Mrs. Ella Wilson for mayor, and when the votes were counted, on a tottering ta- had achieved a tie with her opponent
 Next came the proposition, sub mitted with complacent grIns: Would Mrs. Wilson draw lots for the office? |?
 She would, and did. It was lit tie piece of stage business that ap- pealed to everybody-and it was pesky to make her do 1t. A crowd of voters assemb ed to see her lose. But she drew the winning. slip"

LYRIC THEATRE

What can be safely termed a per feet performance, both scenically and in point of artistic merit, is thrs weeks production of '@The Christian as given by the Frank Carpenter Stock Co., with Miss E eanor Cleve- land, one of Americas cleverest lead ing ladies, an artiste supreme, in one of the most difficult parts ever assign ed to a player, that of Glory Quale, which is the creation of that master Hall Caine. Perfection is seldom reached in any craft or line of work, yet it can be safely said that
 Miss Cleveland and her admirable com pany have reached that point in this weeks splendid production. Scenic ally and in point of detail, everything has been ca1 efully attended to, bring ing it up to a standard that will bear comparison with the original Vioa AL en production, which for three years proved to be the record breaker.
 There is but one thing cheap at The Aside from that the weekly equip ments are most costly, and the cast the most expensive ever listed by a popular priced organization. To say that Miss Cleveland and the Frank Carpenter Go. have given the highest of satisfaction does not fully express it, for each presentation of this mag nificent play has aroused the big audiences to a point of actual enthu- siasm. In the principal support of Miss Cleveland is Robert Conness, who in the part of John Storm was a posi- tive triumph. During the five acts of tkrs great play there were by act ual count 14 curtain calls.

WOMEN JURORS.

The invasion of the jury box by wo- men has begun in earnest in the State of Washington. and will be watched by the rest of the country with great interest. Our ancestors, in their blind ness, fancied that the revelations of the law courts were sometimes unfit for the ears of the gentler sex But the women of Washington have repu- diated the gentler-sex idea, and count less women of other States are trying to do likewise. Women have for years defied the old conventions, and the proprieueS, too, and thrOnged court rooms in which evidence really unfit for any ears had to be endured by judges, lawyers and jurors, and they of logic was withheld from woman has been frequently asserted, though never proved, but the logic of male jurors in the State Of Washington has not been noticeably strong
 There is no privilege the men would more willingly resign to the women than jury duty. So long as the wo- men of Washington seek for it wi h the avidity they now display, they win get their full share. The report that in the first experiment a single wom- an hung up'' the jury is not unlike y. It is so likely, Indeed, that the report is probably mere guess. But one stupid OF obstinate man will of ten keep jury in conference many hours. 4.
 CIearer-headed, sounder- minded jul TOTS are needed everywhere. There are many eases in which a jury of wo- mn might be found quicker in judg- ment and fairer than a jury of rISn. Women are susceptible to sentin ssnI Ial argument, of course, but too many male jurors are at fault tn this res pect. Washington's women jurors may be influential in reforming the trial courts We doubt it, but we are willing to wait until the new system has had fair trial.-McCalPs Maga- 4zine for January.

NEW YORK MILLINERS USING
 FLOWERS ON WINTER HATS

While at the beginning of the Season flowers were so far from fashionable that the less one could say of them the better, 1t is all quite different now The very sn7arteSt hats are trimmed with large velvet flowers or those made of silk or metallic lace. These effects are not as high as those trimmed with feathers, although, with very few ex- captions. their crowns are prominent, and very frequently draped. When large flowers are chosen for trimmin 2 they are treated very simply and their arrangement most often takes the fo m of @ garland or a detached wreath ef- feet at the base of the crown. Little foTage is called for in this arrange ment, the flowers not having the slightest pretense to deception. since they are far from natural looking ir either size or coloring. Reds are the favorite coloring and in all shades from the most vivid cerise to the deep est wine and mahogany. With the ad vert of Spring hr'ghter coIors will un- doubtedly prevail.-The Millinery Trade Review.

SPRING MAID
 PLEASES TWO
 LARGE HOUSES

''The Spring Maid'' a German im- portation, which had great run in New York, made the first of three ap- pearances at the Park Theatre. last given this afternoon and the last will be given this evening. A large audience was present, last night, which was delighted to the utmost. The music was catchy, the company excellent. the costuE1ing attractive. The operetta is rich in humor of a novel type, and did not flatten out in the last act as so much musical comedy does. Gene IuneSka gave a sparkling performance in the double role of Princess Bozena and the pre- Prince Aladar was sung by @a Jack GoIdsworthy, in the most fervent fashion of approved stage Iove-mak- strongly represented by Charles Mo Naughton, whose spicy appearance as Roland the tragedian, had a. zest- of
 Frank wooley, as Spaetling, the town sleuth, furnished a touch of ul- timate farce.
 The music and joyousness of The -Annamirl. the .favorite fountain girl at Carlsbad, is sought by the. officers at the watering places. Prince Aladar deSpises arfStocratic women, but cuts a dash among the plebian girls Prin- cess Bozena learns this fact and de- termines to teach the prince a les son, so Sne 1nperSOnaIeS the SpT1nS Maid. Aladar bets the officers that he will make a conquest. But the princess Spring Maid makes the con quest, and scornfuI1y rejects the prince. She says she will ne rer mar ry him until the Carlsbad spring runs dry. Through the agency Of her papa, the fmpAcuniouS Prince Rokenar. the spring does run dry. and so every thing has a happy ending.
 The first scene is laid at Carlshs d.. The next Sis a Bee Farm in the sub~ urbs. and finally there is the fete celebrating the discovery of the Carls- bad springs
 The company did excellent work as a whole and Individuality. Scarcely too much praise can be given to the work of Miss Gertrude Des Roches, as Annamirl.

 Tn Tennyson's romantic medley, "The Fr1nceSS,' the class feel that they have secured something so strikingly different from the work of former classes that not-only-their own friends but all the old friends of dramatics at the High School, will be eager to see the production. Tickets are selling rapidly and may be procured at Jack sons Book Shop, as weM as from mem bers of the class Miss Grace Dalrym- pie Clarke, whose work is too well known to need comment, is coaching and staging the play. while the new DaInozeF Quartette, which has already gained for itself an enyiabIe reputa- ton, under It's -dfrectoF, Miss Ethel Marguerite PoIprds is to furnish the music.
