The big farce-comedy success “The
Tarrytown Widow ” will be the attrac-
tion at Hoyt’s Theatre to-morrow
evening. There will be a special mat-
inee at 2;30 o’clock as well as the usual
night performance. It seems almost
unnecessary at this late date to add any
favorable comment to this already pop-
ular farce, which has so far stood the
test of three long seasons, last season
there being two separate companies
playing the piece in different parts of
the United States. This much may be
added in the favor of this sterling at-
traction, however. Since its last ap-
pearance in this section of the country
there have been introduced in the play
many new incidents and catchy original
musical specialties, the whole to be
produced by a company of unusual ex-
cellence headed by the talented come
dian, Otis B. Thayer who will play the
leading comedy role. .Matinee price

'BLANCO TLSTEP now
He Would Stir Up Discord Before
Leaving Cuba. A
GEN. PARADO MAY 'SUGCEEDIA
I
His Resignation Accepted and Gen. Par-
rado Named as His Successor— The lie-
tiring Captain-General and His News-
paper Foster Dissension Among Cubans.
Madrid, Nov. 25.—The Oflicial Ga-
zette has published a decree acceptiflg‘
the resignation of GeneraltBlanco as
captain general of Cuba. '
It is announced thatGeneral Parra-
do, second in command under Captain
General Blanco, and president of the
Spanish evacuation commission in Cu-
ba, will succeed ,General Blanco in the
captain generalcy of the island.
Havana, Nov. 25.——It is an open se-
cret now that General Blanco will
leave for Spain in a. few days. Dif-
ferent dates are given for his depart-
ure. The local press decided that 'the
date would be December 10, but the
press censor would not allow the pa-
pers to pubL’sh their guess. It is prob-
able that he will depart from Havana
before that date.
“That is bevond doubt is, that after
many requests from General Blanco,
the Madrid government has accepted
his resignation in order that he may
leave the island before the sovereign-
ty of Spain is completely surrendered.
The question now is who will replace
him until the Americans take control;
and who will be the best man to keep
the country peaceful under such diffi-
cult circumstances.
It is learned that the place has been
offered by the Madrid ngernment to
General Gonzales Parrado, president
of the Spanish evacuation commission,
but he has cabled the Madrid govern-
ment refusing to accept it owing to
private reasons.
General Parrado’s declination is due
to the fact that his son is held as a
prisoner by the Philippine insurgents
and he is eager to return to Europe in
order to try to effect his release.
General Parrado enjoys the confi-
dence and sympathy of the American
commissioners, who respect him both
as a diplomat and a gentleman, and it
is possible that the Madrid authorities
will therefore force him to accept the
post as a patriotic duty under the cir-
cumstances.
Should it so happen that General
Parrado is allowed to decline the post,
General Jimenez Castellanos will pro-
bably be appointed.
The American commissioners are
deeply interested in the appointment
of General Blanco’s successor.
Though only a. few days more re-
main for Spain to exercise sovereign-
ty in the island, it is important that
the man appointed shall be congenial
to the Americans in order that the
last details of the evacuation may be
satisfactorily arranged.
The Spanish commissioners have no-
tifled the Americans that the Spanish
troops in the province of Pinar del
Rio will embark at Havana; those in
Matanzas at Matanzas ports, and
those in Las Villas or Santa Clara at
Cienfuegos. .
The note adds that the evacuation
of Matanzas, Trinidad and Sancti
Spiritus will be completed by Novem-
ber 30.
On December 1 the Spanish troops
will concentrate at Cienfuegos.

commissioners, has left on the steamer

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made. and that to, by a lady in this coun-'
try. “ Disease fastened its clutches up-
on her and for seven years she with-
stood its severest.tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C.

Two Lake Vessels Lost.
Duluth, Minn., Nov. 25.—The steam-
ers Tampa and Arthur Orr are wreck-
ed on the north shore of Lake Superi-
or. The two vessels represent about
$450,000 with their cargoes and‘they
lie within one mile of each other.
The Tampa, Duluth bound, with
coal from Buffalo, is a complete wreck
on the rocks at Beaver Bay, sixty
miles east of Duluth. She went
ashore about two o’clock Tuesday
morning in the fearful gale and snow-
storm that swept Lake Superior all of
Monday and Tuesday. Her crew is
safe at Beaver Bay. .
She is a. total loss and was insured
for $100,000. Her cargo was insured
for $8,000.
The Arthur Orr was wrecked at
Baptism River. nine miles east of the
Tampa. She went on the rocks at
about the same hour the Tampa was
wrecked. " She is broken in two.

BISHOP“ TURNER’S'GLOOMY VIEW.
He Sees No Attactivc Futur for the Negro
in This Country.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 25.—At the 'African
Methodist Episcopal conference, which
closed here yesterday,
Turner had this to say on the race
question:
“I see no manhood future for the
negro in this country, and the man-
not able to discover that fact from ex-
isting conditions, must be void of
common sense. '
”Our civil, political and social status
is degrading, and as degradation he-
gets degradation, the negro must go
from bad to worse, ad inflnitum. Nei-
ather education nor wealth can ever
elevate us to the grade of respectabil-
I say this because we are sur-
rounded by 0 many influences that
militate agaiiist our manhood. , The
best thing the negro can do is iofcall
a great national convention and ask
the United States congress for $100,-
000,,000 to meet the expense or starting
a line of steamers between this coun-
try and Africa, thus pioneering a. do-
main for our settlement.”
Bishop Turner is the best
negro churchman in the South.

Bliss Gould Feeds Soldiers.
New York, Nov. 25.—Contrary to
her usual custom Miss Helen M. Gould
gave a Thanksgiving dinner yester»
day to the soldiers sheltered at Wody
Crest.
Woody Crest is an old-fashioned
mansion on the summit of a high hill
and for ‘a. number of years has been
used as a home for poor children,
whom Miss Gould picked out of the
slums of New York.
After the war with Spain ceased
erss Gould turned Woody Crest into
a retreat for convalescent soldiers.
There are a score of sufferers from
the Cuban climate there now, and at
noon they were treated to afine din-
ner, consisting of roast turkey, cran-
berries, potatoes, mince pie and other
luxuries of the season.
A Thanksgiving dinner was also
given by Miss Helen Gould to the two
hundred soldiers whose names appear
upon the books of the Soldiers’ Com-
fort Association, at No. 316 East Fif-
teenth street.
To those who could not be accom-
modated and who applied for a meal
a Thanksgiving basket was given in-
stead.
Tlie Presidents Thanksgiving.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 25.—Presi-
dent McKinley, after attending church
in the morning, spent a quiet Thanks-
giving at the White House yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Abner McKinley took
dinner with the president and Mrs.
McKinley, and the Thanksgiving rtur-
key, furnished by H. Vose of Wester-
ly, R. ., was served with proper ac—
companiments.
Mr. Vose sends every year the fin-
est turkey in Rhode Island to grace
the president’s table at the Thanks—
giving day dinner.
Miss Alice Nielson of “The Fortune
Teller” Company, playing an engage—
menit here this week, was invited to
breakfast with the president and Mrs.
McKinley. She sang for them Wed-
nesday, and has been asked to sing
on Sunday morning at the Metropoli-
tan M. E. church, which is attended
by the president.
The Fake, Fig ht.
New York, Nov. 25.—Perhaps the
most resounding echo of the Corbett—
Sharkey fight is the well grounded re-
port that the total receipts of the fias—
.co, $46,355, were divided in thirds am-
ong the fighters and the club, making
each share-over $15,000.
The $20,000 purse never existed, but
the fighters and those connected with
ing this fact a secret.
This leaves no room for doubt as to
the faky nature of the fight.
Such arrangements put pugilists and
pugilism in a bad light and it will be
a long while before the public will for-
get Tuesday night’s swtndle.
Larl of Strafl‘ord Here.
New York, Nov. 25.-—The Earl of
Strafford, who is said to be engaged

refused to deny or confirm the report
of his engagement.
Other passengers on the Teutonic

Dodge, E. M. Padelford and Lord

The Safir capsized in the mid-Atlan-
tic. Her crew of fifteen clung to the
