To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Feeling that we are indebted to the people 'of Brooklyn and the women in charge of the Home of Rest at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory in particular, for the many kindnesses shown us, We would like you to thank them, through your paper. We all arrived here in more or less broken health. come of us having wounds, while others convalescing from the We are positive that we are recelving good.
'if not better, attention. than we could receive at our own homes. Our bardships which we suffered are completely obliterated by the hospitality shown us by these women. Another way in which we are considerably benefited is the renewal of our furloughs, secured by the women without the necessity of our reporting at regimental quarters. This allows US to completely regain our health before joining our regiments.
We have not wanted for anything to further our pleasure in any capacity and our only regret is that after our time is we have to leave the warm hearted people are Brooklyn and return to. our different posts throughout the country. We sincerely. regret that so many of the boys have left to. join thelr as we are sure they would have been glad to have added their thanks to our own.

The managers and friends of the Home for Consumptives to the number of several hundred assembled in the banquet room of the Hotel St. George. last evening to listen to a by Miss Beaston of Philadelphia, for the benefit Institution. "Naval Heroes of the Republic" was the title of the lecture All bethe great nations, said the lecturer, had maritime powers and she dwelt at length on the influence of the sea- upon the character of a nation. An arbitrary act of the British parliament with regard to shipping and navigation precipitated the first naval battle of America, in 1772, and then, as it was the courage, determination and skill of the commanders and crew rather than superior numbers or equipment which proved the power.
The successful fights between the American sloops Hannah and the Margaretta with British vessels were related in detall and proved entertaining. To Rhode Island belongs the credit of instituting the American Navy for her delegates were the first that were empowered to submit to the continental Congress a plan for formation of the American Navy, and on the 10th of May, 1776, the foundation was laid with an equipment of eight vessels, which were launched from the foot of Walnut street, Philadelphia. Yesterday, Miles Beaston said, she noticed the Texas, New Orleans and Marblehead at anchor in the same place' where the first ships of the Navy bad been launched and learned that anchoring of the warships In that spot was in commemoration of the event of 1776, Miss Beaston spoke of the mission of the Navy in time of peace. when its special importance was the training of men to represent this country in foreign lands and In this connection menticaed the success of Commodore Perry in negotiating the treaty with Japan.

Washington Court House, 0., October 25- Hannah West and Abraham Huffman have been bound over to the Grand on the charge of murdering Louis Ball in this city twelve years ago, beheading him with a razor. The arrest of the prisoners was the result of a deathbed confession by Mrs. Anna Jetfries recently, who said that she, Jeffries, held Ball's head while Huffman cut it off with a razor in Mrs. West's house, the blood flowing into a tub and Ball's head and body being laid across the railroad track to create the impression that Ball was killed by the cars.
Two more men are to be arrested for the murder. F. O. LINDER, 595 Fulton street, established quarter of a century, will Remodel and Beal and other Fur Garments at Summer prices this month. Late Furrier to Journey bam.

Both Are Responsible for Evils, Which Republican Orators Will Not Discuss. A Plank in the Democratic Platform and a National Issue Which Colonel Roosevelt Has Steadily Ignored--Two Reports From Which He Shrinks. The careful reader of campaign speeches cannot fall to have observed that while the Republican orators are almost bysterical in their references to the triumphs won by our soldiers and sailors, they have nothing to say concerning the unnecessary and awful gufferings of those who were viotims of official incompetency and neglect in the military camps at home.
specchmakers are as reluetant to discuas the horrors of the camps as they are to discuss canal steals. Yet there Is not an honest and intelligent Republican in all the land who does not know indignation of the nation has beeu aroused by these infamous scandals of the camp; that a war investigating committee was appointed to deal with these scaudals because of popular wrath. Despite this fact and the addltional fact that thousands of New York volunteers were victlins of these military camp outrages; apparently utterly oblivious of the faot that many of the young men of this state perished in the camps because of a lack of proper care; and hundreds are now at home physically wrecked, Colonel Roosevelt has not had one word to say in condemnation of Algerism. He has talked at great length of the soldiers in the feld, of their privations, courage and triumphs, but no word of sympathy for those who endured the horrors of the camps has fallen from his lips. The Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Sixty-ninth and Twentysecond from this section of the state, and other military organizations from the interior and near the lakes, were as patriotic as the Rough Riders, were just as anxious to do or die, but their patriotism and privations do not cut any figure in the Republican campaign.
But the Democratic state platform depounces the outrages the camps and calls for the punishment of the men responsible for the terrible sufferings and deaths of our soldiers. There stands the indictment of A1- gerism. To it Colonel Roosevelt makes no reply, unless it is considered an answer to say that if citizens vote for the Democratic candidate for governor their votes will be considered in Europe as a rebuke to the President. If this be the case, Colonel Roosevelt has presented the President in a most unenviable attitude. Why is it that Colonel Roosevelt shirks discussion of the two prominent planks in the Democratic platform--the arraignment of the canal thieves and the arraignment 'of the horse doctors and other incompetents of the military camps? The independents have shown themselves as quick as Democrats to recognize the fact that the scandals of these camps are a great national and state issue.
And this is what Thomas M. Osborne said in a public speech recently, while addressing his fellow iadependents: "Algerism is only Aldridgcism ander another name. The canal frauds and the War Department scandals emanate from the same source. They are the corrupt and corrupting influence of our state politics carried into the administration of state or nation. "The canal frauda touch our pocketa, but the others we pay for in the blood of our brothers and sons.
"Yet the man who Is responsible, the man to whose business ability the War Department wag Intrusted, still holda his place defying public clamor, and the President of the United States endeavors to shield him. Read the questions asked by the Commission of Inquiry of Secretary Alger and tell me whether they are actuated a desire to probe tnese scandals to the bottom, or whether they are simply endeavoring to show to do it not "In the light of reason, of common sense, can you imagine a spectacle more degraded? Here In the fairest country under heaven, In a land pledged from Its birth to freedom, with the dawn of the twentleth century tingeing the sky, we are slaves to this shocking gambling game of politics, 50 that our eyes are blinded, our hands palsied and our brains divided. "We make a jest of our country's honor, while death stalks in and our children by the hand. We sit down and titter at the merry gibes and quips of the Carnegie Hall oratory a8 the funeral trains of the nation's victims by. But the words of the speakers are drowned by the tears of wives and mothers of killed, not by war, but by If it shall be said that the foregoing picture was drawn from imagination, then read what the Rev.
Dr. J. 0 Wilson, chaplain of the Fourteenth Regiment, said at the tenth annual convention of the Brooklyn South District Epworth League one evening last week while describing his experlences at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga. It is easy to understand why he disclaimed any intention of blaming the administration for Alger's hand is heavy, yet in the face of his disclaimer he presented facts which made it worthless. For he sald in part as he spoke of the borrors he had witnessed: I eaw more suffering than I ever expect to see again.
Men would fall helpless to the ground with fever and be carried to the regimental hospital and then to the division hospital. Thee memory of that division hospital is like 3. nightmare to me. Iam not in favor of the division hospital, for the sick soldiers are there mercileanly left to the care of strangers. I faw a to almost everything that has been recorded in the newspapers.
Poor men sick to lift a hand, were Mterally black with flies and, sleeping or waking, they were thus devoured by these dreadful insects. I have seen men die for want of attention and have ministered to as many as 300 In a single day. And such odors and such water. It Is uL wonder to me that even more di-1 not perish. I will tell you briefly what I think was the cause of all this suffering.
First, incapacity. Many of the officers were utterly unworthy of the positions to which they had been elected through political preferment-I was going to say that the whole business was political, but I will not and I am not making a point against this administration. Second, Insufficiency. When we went to the front we had three surgeons. When August came and we needed ten we had one and In one day he hag been called to minister to 226 men, Then there was an Insufficiency of nurses.
I huve seen tweive typhold fever patients In the hands of one nurse, who was not trained. Also, of remedles. We would walt ten days for a requisition for the most simple remedies and in the meantime men would die for want of them. The third point was inflation. Some men when they get 8 pair of shoulder straps think they are Lord Cornwallis come back from the dead.
Tou have no Idea bow soon it takes even a second: Neutenant to forget that he was ever a private, and there waS enough red tape to kill all the soldiers in the tront. Many of them did die from red tape. The fourth cause, and I think the most oriminal, was Indifference. War freezes the spirit of men and a private is of scarcely more account than a dog on the street. I would not be a private in this or any other country for a less reason than to save my country from perishing.
The noblest men that walk our streets are the ones who slept on the ground, dug trenches and were left without remedles that a dog ought to have. It is declared in the Democratic grate platform: "A Democratic Congress will, If chosen by the people, rigidly investigate the conduct of the war and expose and punish all who may be responsible for the unnecessary deaths, privations, suffering and negiect of the soldters, which have saddened the nation and Cleveland's Baking Powder keeps cake moist and fresh. abated the national rejoicing over the triumphs of our Army." It is time for Democratic speakers to deal with the hospital horrors, whenever they are called upon to address voters. They will find their opponents shrinking from this national issue as they have shrunk from the canal steal issue. A Republican commisalon of 1u- quiry exposed the frauds on the canais, and Colonel Roosevelt will not discuss tho specific charges of great wrong doing made In the TO report.
An honest board of inquiry, appointed by Major General John C. Breckinridge to inquire into the shocking conditions which prevalled at Camp Thomas, made an tion, not for whitewashing purposes, but to get at facts, just as the canal commission of inquiry endeavored to get at bottom facts. The report was made as ordered, and was signed by Major and Brigade Surgeon Milo B. Ward, Major James J. Johnson, Second Arkansas Volunteers, and Major Emil S.
Helburn, Second Kentucky Volunteers. Major Ward was chairman of the board and Major Helburn was recorder. Attached to the report was the sworn testimony of officers, nurses. privates, sick soldiers and surgeons. The report in part reads as follows: testimony horewith covers the ground relative to the care of sick so completely that do not consider It essential to comment extensively on it.
There are, however, some features regarding the management hospital that we think demand especial attention. There was a great deal 'of unnecessary enfering and many deaths resulting from lack of proper nitention to the sick. It 18 our unanimous opinion the basic causes this unnecessary suffering may be for found in the principles governing IN the management of 3 hospital of this kind. It is not concelvable that men taken from the promiscuously And with no previous preparation and put in charge of helpless sick men could do Justice to them, and especially so when forced to do so against their wlis. The next cause for Il1-treatment of the sick in this hospital came from lack of supplies of every nature.
We can And no reasonable excuse for the lack of supplies which could have been easily obtained and were not, by those reaponsible, and they should be held strictly responsible, So far as the officers directly in charge of the hospital are concerned, the evidence proves conclusively that in most Instanoes did the beat they could under the circ*mstances. That there was a demoralization of the medical corps, there le nodoubt. Thiscaused a feeling of indifference which led to actual neglect. The offloers charge of the hospital convinced the board that they had not failed to make the necessery requisitions for supplies, but could not get them. It 1s not possible for this board to say whether they did all that was possible to be done to get the supplies, but that they did not succeed is apparent.
It certainly appears that those higher In thority, those who were In positions to Insist upon the proper equipment of this hospital, should have employed some means, whether In keeping with the striotest military routine or not, to have furnished the common comforts for every sick man sent to the hospital. That they did not 19 apparent in the evidence. We bave beard a great deal from Colonel Roosevelt about himself and the Rough Riders at San Juan. Without doubt the people of the state would like to hear if he has any views concerning the Democratic platform's references to the outrageous treatment of our soldiers who suffered in those -the military camps. They would doubtless be pleased to learn it a vote for him will mean a vote in Indorsem*nt of Algerisno.
For If the Rough Rider has any views concerning the Secretary of War they have been carefully concealed, from those to whom be is appealing support at the polls. The volunteers who suffered In the camps, the men who have returned from these holes as physical wrecks, the sorrowing relatives and friends of those who died at Chickamauga, Camp Alger or Camp Wikoff are walting to hear if Colonel Roosevelt dare say anything in condemnation of the shoulder strapped incompetents hiding behind the Secretary of War.

The performance was listened to with close attention, its bumorous scenes were followed with ready laughter and its more stirring passages recelved considerable applause. But it is also true that many auditors left the theater at its close wondering In what the great beauty and power of the much talked about play consisted, and It is only fair to say that this state of mind was due to the performance and not to the play. The play has been a good deal cut, the performance beginning at 8:15 and ending before 11, whereas Mr.
Mansfield's begins aft 7:45 and lasts untib 11 or Much of this cutting is advantageous, a play under three hours being preferable to one of more than that length, but in the process several paysages have been sacrificed which are ly essential to a comprehension of absolute. side of Cyrano, as well as several others which aid the beauty of the play. But the great mistake has been made in presenting the drama to the eye in a way which robs the story of Its reason for being. The essence of the play Is that Roxane loves Christian because he is a big, bandsome, dashing soldier, a fine specimen of physical manhood, while the love of Cyrano is hopeless because he is deformed by a monstrous nose. Now, Mr.
Richman, who plays Cyrano in this production, wears a nose not larger or more repulsive than one sees on men about the strect who are accompanied by wives and children, while Christian is played by an undersized, thin, almost cadaverous actor whom no healthy woman would look at unless for sone of the mental or spiritual qualities which Rostand has specifically denied to Christian. In the love scenes this Christian Is an inch or two shorter than xane and although, Judging by the intonation of his voice at times, Mr. Winter may be a very good actor of parts requiring deep feeling heutterly spoils the picture as Christian. If a fine Cyrano were available Mr. Richman would make an idcal Christian, and the reason for the bero's sacrifice would be made clear.
Beside of this dotect, mere cuts in the text are of muslin moment, but there are some gems missing from the Daly version which one would like to hear. The speech in which Cyrano protests against taking some grandee for 8 patron; the pretty lines, "I have felt the worshiped trembling of your band along this thrilled and blissful Jasmin in the balcony scene, and Anal speech in which Cyrano proclaims that it is "Much finer to fight when it Is Do use." volces his contempt for "hypocricy, compromises, prejudices and dastardly expedients," and closes with "And to-night, when I enter God's house, in saluting, broadly will I sweep the azure threshold with what, despite of all, I carry forth unblemished and unbent--my plume," might have been left to the better understanding of the hero in Cyrano. More are the cuts of Roxane's speech on the balcony, In which she comments on the change in Cyrano'5 voice and of Cyrano's clever explanation, and the change in the batthe scene by which the consternation of the bungry cadets, when Roxane asks for patties, Jelled meat and light wine, white they do not dream that there is such fare short of "Parls, Is entirely lost. These specifications are in order that people who were disappolnted In last night's performance shall understand the reason, but they furnish enough of fault finding. which is never so pleasant a duty as praise.
"Cyrano de Bergerac" is a great play and there are enough of its beauties left in this version to make the performance a notable and an Interesting event. Aside from the points intelligence specifed and the tagte play Is which handled marks with all the ot Mr. Daly's stage management. Mr. Richman is not a great actor and he lacks the romantic fire and the large and Juicy masculine quality which should gO to Cyrano; but be plays with apparently keen appreclation of what the character should wherever it comes within his limita of expression lie gives It well.
slighting nothing which be can reach at all. Curiously. he plays the a pathetic death scene far better than the more robust earlier portions. There he rises to genuine and sincere pathos and it the whole play had been as well given as wag the last act, it would have made a brilliant and memorable trlumph, instead of the qualidled success which It now Is. Mr.
Richman in that act sounded a note of authority which he has never touched in Brooklyn before, and a which which he indicated has not Ane yet work been from seen. him in The a line main in Interest of the audience. if not of the play, centered in the Roxane of Miss Rehan. That she would play it charmingly was a master of course, but one watched the graceful gayety at her girlishness, the developed and noble womanhood which had fed upon che supposed letters of Christian until his body had become merely al husk and she showed that she loved the poet's soul whatever its guise might be, and her tender and noble grief at the close, with renewed admiration for the art of this woman, who does so many things superbly well, and so few less than well. Her Roxane will pot count with her great achievements, like her Catharine, her Lady Teazle, or her Rrealind.
but it Is a beautiful and highly finished portrait and no lover of Miss Rehan's work should miss the delicate coquetry of the scene with Christian or the feminine cleverness with which she deceives De Gulche. Next to Miss Rehan's Roxane in excellence cones the De Gulche of Sidney Herbert, who looks like Van Dyck portrait and plays with delicacy. force and skill. William Owen makes a rich and julcy Ragueneau, the pastry cook, wan is a.50 a poet: Mra. Gilbert is her loved self as the duenna, and got last night a cordial greeting on her entrance, and Tyrone Power lg a good Le Bret.
The small parts are n4 cepcably acced, the text given to ail the subsidiary charactens being spoken with tho utmost distinctness and the settings are appropriate without being remarkable either for excellence or the lack of it. Next week Alice Nielsen will play "'The Per une a The Amphion. plays. The Columbia.

The old play has lost none of charms.

Sutton Vane's play, entitled "John Secret," was brought out last evening at the Bijou Theater. Ir is a new pay in Brooklyn and It bears the London scamp of most of the mclodramas of the author.
It begins with a thrilling pit and it follows the plot to a thritiing conclusion. The play begins in London and finishes in the Kunberly Mines, In South Africa. It would be unkind to disclose the accret of the melodrama. The Secret, bowever. lies in a combination of a burglar proof safe that 15 seen in the firet with the word in letters of living light, over the cop, The salc was in London and It served to conceal diamonds produced in the mines in che second act in South Alrica.
Concerning these diamonds and the possession of them, there is woven a romance. It Invoives a minor love story, a taie of reVenge acd love, with a Hebrew father and daughter, and, In the last act, it brings In 9. thrilling scene of rescue. All of the situadons are In Sutton Vane's usual style; and If any one Is seeking for rapid delivery in play acting, he can see it on the stage of the Bijou. More than most meiedramas, the detion cones to a crisis in the last act.

John Ray Larry Mooney and Mrs. Emma Ray 05 Mrs. General Stonewall Blazes contributed a large share of the humor, but there were others. There are several handsome girls and many good voices ir the company. Next week, Andrew Mack in "An Irish Gentieman." The Park.
At the Park Theater, William Gillette's comedy, "All the Comforts of Home," continues to draw a large audience. The play deserves success, for the funny situations and complications are cleverly worked out and well acted. From the commencement till almost the conclusion of the last act there Is not il dull moment. The finale, however, when mutual explanations are necessary to clear up the misunderstandings, falls dead and flat in comparison with the spontaneity of the fun in the preceding acts. A disappointing finish ends up what is otherwIse an entertaining performance.
Not a little of the success of the play is due to Leonard Grover, who is so funny naturally and wirbout effort In the part of Theodore Bender. the retired produce merchant, that one could not help laughing at him even If they would. Eugene Sweetland. as the young man of leisure, acted part easily. William H.
Pascoe, as Pettibone's nephew, Miss Amy Leo as Kitty MeDow and Miss Susan McFall as Evangeline Bender are good.

There is a grace and charm in Mr. O'Neill's acting and he presented the part last evening with his usual ease and spirit. The leading support, E.

Annie Russell's Successful Debut In "Catherine," at the Garrick. Other Attractions. The fall and winter season at the Garrick was opened last nigh: by Charles Frohman's company, headed by Annie Russell, in a four uct comedy called "Catherine," by Henry Lavedan. a Paris playwright. who has written a number of acting dramas which have attractel favorable attention.
With Miss Russell were such established favorites as Joseph W. J. Lemoyne, J. G. Saville, Elsie Da Wolfe and Robert Hickman, to whom should be added the more modern candidates tor favor, Frank Worthing, Sarah Comell-Lemoyne.
Ethel Barrymore, May Buckley, Dora Goldch walte and Marion Kirk. The disparity of public record among these actors has been observed by the placing first of those longest known, but the burden of work and the measure of recognition by a very representative audience camo upon them in no such order. After Annie Russell. and the secondary position must be unarded more out of courtesy than out of accuracy, the bonors Monday night were comnnanded by Sarah Cowell-Lemoyne, who showed a distinction, a repose, a sustained dignity and 211 adaptive intelligence that wore not suggested by the possibilities of the character which she took In the and the with which she was becoming. as it were.
