ICuthryne Kiddjr, tho well known actress, whu was here last night' received yesterday evening a liberal ed ucation cunneiuinjr tho toeiai equality Bw Ita FreaFnt Owner Came Into Posnesalon of the Pamona FiU-ptno'a Saab, The regalia of Aguinaido which lie wore in full uniform is now in possession of a private soldier of our army, who is fully aware of its value as a relic, states the ban Francisco Examiner. Once it shone in nil its splendor of silver ptars and lace upon the white dress uniform of the island leader now, by the fortunes of war and flight, it is the property of Private Richard H. Cooper, a Santa Paula yonng man of troop Eleventh United States volunteer cavalry, who returned to Los Angeles on June 23 from the Philippines. L.

The Eleventh was the only United States volunteer cavalry in service since the civil war, and troop of the Eleventh distinguished itself by its famous charge at the battle, of San Mateo, where Gen. Lawtou lost his life. Cooper tells an interesting Company of the Thirty-seventh United States infantry started out in pursuit ol Aguinalco in February, 1900, chasing him for ten days or more up through the mountains of southern Luzon. They finally lost track of him and went over the swamps into Cama- rines province. Lut so hot was the pursuit and so near did ii come at one point to capture that some of the ponies in Aguinaldo's band were shot and the leader threw away bundles of clothing and other stuff in his mad de sire to escape his pursuers.

It was in one of those critical mo ments that Corporal Selding, a friend of Cooper, picked up in the trail amid the bamboo jungle a small bag of muslin which contained this regalia, a small flag of the province of Vigan, and wrapped in it a curious dagger with a point of needle-like sharpness. Belding took out the sash first, and, it being similar to a decoration worn by a priest, thought it belonged to one of them, but hid the bag hurriedly for tear the iourth cavalry, which was passing, might get It. When he showed it to his friend in the morning Cooper asjkea him he might take it and show it to some one. Belding thereupon made him a present of the bag and its contents. Cooper showed It to Cant.

Anew. of tne txclarmed at once at sight of the red and silver star: Why, man, you've got a prize there! That regalia is Aguinaldo's own, for I have seen him wear it many times during dress parade before the outbreak. I know that star." -The regalia is heavily embroidered in solid silver, for which Mr." Cooper was ottered a goodlysum by tSelihtivt silversmiths in Manila. The most in teresting pieee is the silver embrVid' ered shoulder sash', somewhat staijicc by wear, of yellow satin richly incrust-ed with silver, and where it crosses 1 he breast shines a six-pointed silver Eta. of openwork upon red satin, the badge of Aguinaldo's highest rank.

A bront belt of yellow satin and silver, wide cuff3 of blue satin spangjed-with sil ver, and four decorations in the fSnii silver leaves, which were worn npow the breast, are also ports of this gilt terinjr insignia, Here are the great sil- rer star ana hatband that CeccratcC the sombrero and completed the para phernalia which rendered Aguinaido gorgeous figure when worn over' his white suit at dress parade for he never wore this regalia over a khaki uniform. Mr. Cooper was offered lartre Sum by officers anxious to purchase this regalia as a remembrance cf Aaruin- aldo, but declined, considering it the more valuable from the fact that onlv one other such suit of regalia owned by: Aguinaido is known.

Tho bill last week was an exceptionally strong one, closing Saturday night with the colonial drama, Molly Pitcher.

Nearly every seat in the entire opera house' was taken, and everyone was thoroughly pleased. It will be remembered that the Molly Pitcher of history was the wife of a gunner while the Molly Pitcher as played by Miss Kathryn Kidder Is a young maiden, who Is in love with a former British officer who joins the continental army. This departure from the lines of nis tiry does not enhance the Wor th Of the drama, but rather makes way for the weaving of a very charming romance. The scenes and costumings are of tne days of '76, and there are some very thrilling climaxes. -Mies KaUiryn Kid der is a general favorite, and as Molly Pitcher she is more captivating than ever.

We hope to see her again next season. The cast comprises finished artists who ably supported the leading characters. Manager March hat reason to feel proud of the business he did this week.

7 The theatre-going public were never given a play that held such great heart interest as Jas, Hearne's Sag Harbor. There is more love in It to the minute than in any other play that has been here this season. 'Tis said that love makes the world go 'round. and nothing truer was ever said. It is the mainspring of life's greatest happiness, and ere jt not for love we would not be living bow.

The "old, old story" told in the play of Sag Hai-bor touched the sympathetic chord of caeh and everyone in that largo One forgot that it was only a play; forgot- everything' but that this story so charming and so wondrous was it in its unfold ing. The deepest emotions and.the tendergst bassions are vividly portrayed. The plot tells of tue love of two brothers for an orphan girl, The girl Is in love with' the jungor brother who ts way1 at sea, but It is to the older line that she owes her sarcd her frbm the poor house' and educated her. This older brother proposes just on the day of the return pf the younger irum sea. j.ne -orpnan witnnoms -ner answer so surprised iha by his avowal.

Her lover is told of the proposal and ia at once filled with jealousy. Her love Is finally given the older brother whom she marries, and it I a lung time before the younger one re covers frcui bis loss, Ue is filled with. remorse and bitter jealousy. This part was acted true to life. And then there is the old sea-dog, Capt.

Daniel, "who tries to smooth over all difficulties and to. help along things, but generally makes them worse. For a long time he has loved his Elizabeth, lonss for a home and family and for bis Eliza beth to be the queen of this home, He is finally accepted, and the prettiest and most touching moment of the play is where he rece ves his first knowl-elgeof the coming of his first-born. Ia a voice full of emotion he ca lis his to him and in his loving arms eafolds her to his bosom, gives her a kiss that has more love, mora affection arid more true fcapffiness in it than volumes could tejl of.

Many new joki-S were sprung and a few old ones retouched and tjld In manner that did not fail to Mr. George Wilson's euterings were rich, spicy and to the poiat. He roasted sume of the members of the company, the town and the people in the house.

He roasts ed everybody, iucl uding himself, and everything but the new opera house. But it wag all done in a very pleasant way and nobody's feelings were hurt. He made a great hit in singing refrains from the popular melodies of the day. The musical specialties by Garden Somers were first-class and they were not stingy with their music, responding several times with extra numbers. The Yonng Brothers, tumblers, closed the program with some very clever work, and nobody left the house disappointed.

It was Thursday afternoon, about the hour of 5 that the jury re- tired to their room with (lie argument t)t the attorneys fresh in their minds and the instructions of the court in their hands to direct them in deter- i inlnlnn their verdict, and handed it to 5 the judge In "pen court five hour 1 later, which was guilty as charged, but not agreeing as to punishment. I The jury was unit as to the guilt but I could not agree on the punishment of Lauderdale, some thinking be should I receive a life sentence. 1 I To give the entire testimony of the case would fill the paper, we will state briefly the evidence on which the Jury acted: That these four men, Cocke, Lauderdale, Blackburn and i Phipps were out oo a lark, that they I boarded the northbound train at Le I land, and, as they started into the car, Phipps, Lauderdale's brother-in-law, i stumbled over Rhea's 'feet that were hanging over the arm of the seat on which ha wis asleep. That Cocke came In about this time and wasenter- ing into the fuss when another engl- neer named Burke, who was with Rhea, told Cocke that Rhea was all 1 right, and so they all started back to-t ward the stove, jThat Blackbourn Ve- turned and ordered Rhea' out of the car: that he had gotten" up outrof his seat and was starling for- the door when the three or more shots fired that sent him to his, last? Jiome. witness fur the state testified i that Coeke said before the man wart killed that f'lie summoned "him toje shot, and that he fired two" shots, itiie first aMira, whilejvLauder-date sajdire filled Of J-l "The above testimony was' substantiated by other witnesses for he ''state.

The wftaesses for the defense, were put on to prove1 Cocke's insanity, which was.brought on by a blow on the i head -ti9 xecelvedtbvj being thrown from a horse in 1800. Some said he was insane on the question of guns and Others JuM he was Insan because lie would never talk forfny length of time on any rone subject while others said he imagined something was after him all the) and would often throw his hands behind him as if going after his The prosecution introduced a number of witnesses who testified they be lieved him a sane man. The question of the kind of bullet that killed Rhea was shown by experts, introduced by the defense, and if their conclusions were right it was a 38 Winchester bullet that caused death, as the bullet of such a gun welched ISO trains, and the one cut from the neck of the dead man weigh ed 176 grains The defense "of Lauderdale proved that he fired his gun through the top of the car as the evidence showed. The evidence closed Tuesday and the argument begun about 1 p. m.

the next 'day; when the Don. LeRoy l'ercy made the opeoiug speech for the For two hours he held the attention of the jury and every ear in the court-room by his arguments oft the prisiotier's guilt, and the eloquent oxpressiom? that fell from his tongue. His speVch was admitted by. all as oue of th3 -best delivered at the trial. Judge Harris followed Mr.

Percy, m.d fur one hour pleaded fur Lauderdale's aequilal, showing froui the facts presented that it was not the ball from his gun that killed Uie deceased. After his speech the court adjourned uulil 4 p. m. -j On the reassembling of the court Attorney J. Jayne appeared for Cocke', and in a speech lasting a little over an hour he showed the jury that it could not have been Cocke's pistol that killed Rhea, as no call that could be fired from it would' weigh 176 grains, the weight of the bullet extracted from the dead man.

He dwelt time on Cocke's insanity, and asked that be be sent to the asylum if they believed from the evidence it was true. Judge Wynne followed Mr. Harris In a strong defense for his client, showing the same facts as shown by Mr. Harris, that the bullet was not from Lauderdal's gun. The speech of Mr.

Dean was considered by all who heard the arguments as one of the strongest made for the defense, and no doubt had weight on 1 I Out five Hours. the minds of the jury. He was follow ed'by District Attorney Humphreys, who began with the first witness and wound up the spool of testimony, thread by thread, laying bare to the jury the guilt of the prisioners. The appeals made for the widow and or- pnan, tue motner and brother. wis vers touching, bringing tears to miny an eye in the caurt-roora.

The jury was given the Indictment and Instructions at 4 p. m. and at 8 that night and reached their verdict, which they reported to the court at 10 two hours later. The sentence to hang was passed on them the next after noon by Juc'ge Larkin, and Friday iviarcn zna, was tne a ay set. An ap peal to the supreme court -will be maae.

ine case or uiaekbouru was set for Monday, when'he will be called before the court to answer for the same crime, It was 4 p. Thursday, when the case was turned over to the jury for their verdict. During the trial relatives of the prisioners and of the dead engineer were in the court-room, each adding impresslveness to the picture present ed by the trial for jife. Once during the trial Lauderdale shed tears, while Cocke's face throughout showed an air of the desperate criminal he has prov en himself to be. The case through out was a hard fought legal battle, but the evidence of guilt ('gainst, the detuned men was too strong forewords or appeals to overcome.
