CRIMINAL AND COWARDLY John Dillon Gives the Irish View of England’s War on the Boer Republics. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 5.—In a lette} to the Marquett Club of this city, Jona Dillon, the Irish leader, says: “In Lreland we regard the war now being waged by the British Government against the two republics of South Africa as the most unjust, criminal and cowardly war of the century. In order to deceive liberal opinion in Great Britain and abroad a pre- text was put forward—that the object of the attacks on the republics was to secure equal rights for the ultianders. The falsity of the pretext has been exposed by tae fact that uitlanders of all races except English are fighting in the armies of tie two repwhiics. To use the words of Becre- tary Reits’s great manifesto to the F:ce Siaters, ‘accurding to the Colonial Secre- tary, Engiand has constituted herself chadie pion of all the ulUanders. And what do we find? On the borders, side by side with our burghers, we find these same uitianders is undreds—<jermans, Irishmen, Frenchmen, Belgians and Scandinavians, and even Eng- lishmen—ready to lay @own their lives ia order to rid (hemselves of thelr sed-consik- tuted champion.’ “All the civingzed world now sees that the real object of this conspiracy and wer againat the republics of South Africa has been and is to deprive the republics of their Wherty, to steal their gold mines, te increase dividends by reducing the wages of laborers in Johannesburg, and to estab Meh «che ascendency of the bnglish race over all other races in South Africa.” YAQUIS BOUND FOR BORDER.

Monday, asking him to make an exception In the case of the bolies of the soldiers. The doctor has the request umler advisement. He has la!d all the cor- respondence before Dr. Walter Wyman, the supervising surgeon of the United Srates Marine Hospital Service.

A OPO0GO0OOGO0DO OO Answering the above question, public men here of all parties give the following opinions to the Post-Dispatch: Representative Driggs (Dem., New York) —No matter what Mr. McKinley or his fol- lowers may suy pubiicly, the American people Know that the purpose of the Ad- ministration is to fasten upon our people a policy of empire and imperialism. Senator Henry M. Teller (Silver, Colo.)— Do you suppose that this Administration would dare‘admit that it purposes inaugur- ating a policy of imperialism? Never. Yet what do the acts of the past six mronths indicate? Representative Sibley (Mugwump, Penn.) —I can see nothing inconsistent in the Pres- ident’s speech. He says there is no ime perialism in America. I agree with him. Reprezentative Bailey (Rep., Kan.)—Im- perialism, which we hear so much about, is a bogey—-a veritable old man of the sea. Senator R. F. Pettigrew (Silver, S. Dak.)— By no other method of reasoning can. Pres.- dent McKinley’s speech in New York ‘be reconciled with the action of himself and his party on the Porto Rican tariff. He is inconsistent. Representative Norton (Dem., Ohio)—Pres- ident McKinley says one thing one day, and yet the contrary is done the next. The greatest height of imperialism ever attempt- ed was when he asked Congress to permit hands into the United State Treasury. President McKinley's pledge that there will be no {imperialism may be taken as was that of free trade for the Porto Ricans. Representative Brundige (Dem., Ark.)— The tariff cannot ibe reconciled. Representative’ Clark (Rep., N. H.)—The action of the House was merely tentative ‘and !{s so recognized by President MckKin- ley. The Porto Rican tariff will be changed within a few years. Representative Landis (Rep. Ind.)—The President is not inconsistent. Expansion {s not imperialism. Representative Fletcher (Rep. Minn.). who held against the Porto Rican tariff bill —I do not believe it to be wise to discrim- inate against the products of Porto Rico. I antagonized the bill because I believed the pledges of the party to the Porto Rican people should be carried out. Representative Cowherd (Dem., Mo.):I re- gard McKinley’s speech as an attempied defense of his attitude toward imperial- iam, which does not defend, nor do I be- nieve that it will satisfy the people. If we have a right to legislate for a people without eiving them representation under the Constitution {t makes them subjects, him to extend his ' } | ' |} speech their country a colony, That can be nothing elise but imperhalism. Representative Maddox (Dem., Ga.): The President's attitude, as defined in his is contradictory. It would not be McKinleyiem unless it was. When.-he takes the stand, as he did on the Porto Rican tariff question, that we had plenary powers to legislate for a territory that is impertal- ism, pure and unadulterated.

Representative Lewis (Dem., Ga.): The President is too intelligent not to recog- nize that when we take upon ourselves the power of legis.ating for a_ people, whether that legislation be friendly or an- tagonistic, that is imperialism. Representative Fordney (Rep., (Mich.): The President always says the right thing im the right place. Representative Hamilton (Rep., Mich.): The address of the President is entirely consistent with everything he has said heretofore and also with the action taken by the House pursuant to his recommen- dation. Representative 'Littlefleld (Rep., Me.), who voted against the Porto Rican tariff bill: I think the President’s utterances in relation to imperialism are in line with every speech he has made on this question. I do not care to discuss his declarations in connection with the recent Porto Rican leg- islation. Representative Shelden (Rep., Mich.:) If those islands cannot be safe in the hands of the party which freed the slaves, in the hands of the party of sound money, and in the hands of the man who made that speech, they cannot be safe in the hands of any one. Representative Lot I. Thomas (Rep., Io.): The President’s New York speech ts on the line of his prior utterances in rela- tion to our Spanish possessions. It is now the duty of the Republican party to formu- late and build up a policy in relation to the government of ‘these possessions, Representative Knox (Rep., Mass.): I un- derstand from the President's speech that he is opposed ‘to imperialism as set forth by the Democratic party, but that he is not opposed to expanvzion and to a government for our new possessions as outlined by the Republican party in the recent Porto Ri- can legislation. Representative Weaver (Rep., O.): think the President ts entirely consistent In his recent utterances with his postition heretofore on the subject of our new pos- sessions and with the recent action of the House on this subject. Representative Corliss (Rep., Mich.): President McKinley's utterances were en- tirely in line with the action of the Honse on the Porto Rican tariff bill. The question of imperialism does not enter into the con- stitutional right of Congress to govern and control these new possessions in a manner that will educate and elevate thelr inhab- ttants, THE QUESTION AT ISSUE. Do the Provisions of the Constitution Embrace Our New Possessions? WASHINGTON, March 6.—The opinion rendered to the Secretary of War bys Charles T. Magocn, law office of the ID- vision of Insular Affairs, on the legal status of the territory and inhabitants of the former Spanish is!ands acquired by the United States is being very generally used by Senators in the preparation of speeches on the Porto Rican tariff bill. “So ong as the political development of this Government,” Mr. Magoon sald, “elects to treat said islands as being out- side of the territorial boundaries of the United States the question of excluding objectionable persons or races is of easy solution. The products of the territory have no greater rights of entry into the United States than have the imhabitants. “The laws of the United States regulating commerce with that territory have not been altered. Congress has not changed them and certainly the executive acting alone can not do so, and has not made the attempt to perform such unauthorized func- tion. The laws regulating navigation and coast trading in the United States have not been extended over said territory and can not be without appropriate action by Congress.’’ _ Mr. ‘Magoon states that the inhabitants of the islands not be'ng citizens of the Umited States do not possess the right of free entry into the United States. The rights of immigration into the United States by the inhabitants of the Islands are no more than those of aliens of the same race coming from foreign: lands. The Chinese residents wi?] be exchided under the provisions of the Chinese exclusion act. “The treaty with Spain,” the opinion con- tinues, ‘“‘did not attempt to naturalize the inhabitants of the {islands acquired bv the United States. On the contrary, it provided that the civil rights and political status of the inhabitants shall be determined by Congress. It follows that they can become citizens only by a specific act of Congrese.”’ Mr. Magoon says the power to extend or contract the territorial boundaries of the United States is vested in the two Houses of Congress acting with the approval of the Executive, and is not to he exercised by the President either as Chief Executive or as commander-in-chief of the military forces. Mr. Magoon holds “that there can be no question that the territory without the boun@aries of the United States is not bound and privileged by our Constitution.” Mr. Magoon believes Congress and the Executive must determine whether the boundaries of the United States shall he extended to include any or all of the isl- ands of Porto Rico, the Philippines and Guam. Mr. Magoon denies that the inhab- itants of the islands are citizens, though he says they are entitled to call upon this government to protect them in their rights of property and person, to preserve the public peace, maintain law and order and prevent encroachments upon the territory by foreign nations. Corelatively the inhab- itants owe allegiance to the sovereignty and obedience to the laws whereby the sov- ereignty undertakes to discharge the obll- gation. The sovereignty and jurisdiction of the United States having attached to the islands persons continuing therein are subject to the laws put in foree therein by the United States without regard to their citizenship with such exceptions as are in force in other territory subject to the juris- diction of the United States. “Tt seems incontrovertible.’ continues Mr. Magoon, ‘‘that the unorganized territory of the United States is not bound and benefit- ed by the Constitution and laws of the United States until Congress has made ap- propriate provisions’ therefor. ee Congres shall, by appropriate action; exe tend the territorial boundaries of the t- ed States to include the island a by the, nation during the late war th Spain, and thereafter continue said islands in the condition of unorganized territory governed by the sovereign powers of the nation, the exervisé of said sovereign pow- ers will not be directed, limited or cone trolled by the expressed provisions of the Constitution.” ZINC ORE SALES INCREASE. | Owing to Storms Output in the Joplin District Is Smaller. JOPLIN, 'Mo., March 5.—Last week's ore sales were coneiderabiy larger than the preceding week's, although the output of the zinc and lead mings all over the Mis- soeuri-Kansas district was much smatber. The cold weather, storms and snow of the early part of the week Interfered very ma- tdrially with mining, especially in new camps that are not well protected, and the rdads are so bad in manv parte of the dis- trict that the ore could not be hauled to the cars. Many mills shut down the larger part of the week and some of the biggest producing mineg made @ very poor showing. “ — in general were about $1 blower than the precedi week's prices, $33 per ton for ore in the bin being paid for high-grade zinc ore at Joplin, Care terville, Oronogo and other camps ere the ors is comparatively free from iron, There was no fancy ore sold, euch made the top price of $274.50 for weeks preceding last week.

The Senate Committee on Manufacturing submitted a re- port on Wednesday on the adulteration of prepared or man- ufactured foods. The committee finds after a protracted and exhaustive examination that the practice of adulteration is almost uni- versal, but that manufacturers feel themselves forced to it by competition. One of them testified that ‘“‘we would be glad to get out of the business of adulterating. We would | like to quit putting this stuff in coffee, and would be willing to brand our syrups for what they are, but our competi- tors get a trade advantage which we cannot surrender.” This is a remarkable confession. It is an admission that the morals of trade are defined by the least scrupulous trader, that the ethical plane of business upon which all business men must stand is fixed by the rascal who gets a “trade advantage”’ through practices condemned by all honest men. If success depends upon the deception of the public, peo- ple will welcome the man who is brave enough to fail. Mean- time, the recommendation of the committee that the general Government uncertake the regulation of such businesses de- serves thoughitfual consideration. If rascals are able to com- pel good men to play confidence games, surely the Govern- ment may break up the game. . ~~ The report of the Provident Association shows that poverty has not decreased in the city, however much wealth may have increased. The association needs all the aid that can reach It. - S » * i A PERMANENT CONSULAR SERVICE. The bill putting the consular service on ‘a life basis, dis- cussed by ex-Assistant Secretary of State Rockhill in the Sunday Post-vVispatch, is a measure which demands serious consideration. Consuls are now selected from among political ‘workers’ who have managed campaigns for successful candidates and kept the bigger politicians’ fences in good repair. Some of them are grossly ignorant of the world which lies be- yond their voting precincis, and few have any but the haziest notion of the duties and responsibilities of the service. ' To make the tenure’ more permanent is to encourage better talent. It will cpen a worthy the ambition of worthy men, capable of performing real service to our grow- ing foreign commerce. Career Whether a life tenure is the best may be questioned. but the bill will at least bring the subject up for discussion and reveal the need of reférm. = = ~ re The British defeats are, of course, laid at the door of sweet woman.

The Serious Side of Rosalind’s Nature. Written Specially for thee Post-Dispatch. | N all my study of Shakspeare’s plays I have always found that there is an ac- curate description of the leading char- acters in- the text of the play. I have avoided traditions, unless my own conception of a role should reveal a tra- dition. I have had very little opportunity to see a performance of “As You Like It’ from the front, so in these articles I have only set down the result of a labor with the play, that is quite apart from the critic’s labor. I am on the siage to act, and have little time to criticise. The first real thing to do, if you are studying Rosalind, is to thoroughly under- Stand her position in the story. Rosalind is not merely a siage part wiit- ten ta display comedy acting—she is a heroine, with a toucn of sadness in her na- ture. Her sorrow is in the fact that her father is banished by Duke Frederick. On this account she has acquired a Dbit- terness, a contempt for the court in which she lives. She is already a woman who has suffered. whose pride has been wounded, and her wits, well schooled at court, are tne weapons of her resentment. Rosalind is very tender, the tenderness that is part of gentie birih and gcod breed- ing, and she is authoritative, according to the dignity of her station at court. Rosalind is a princess; her father is the rightful heir to Frederick's dukedom. tarticularly is it necessary io bear in mind this fact, for it lends dignity and grace to tne entire perfqrmance. Rosalind’s first scene in the piay is per- haps the most difficult. Later on, the cos- tume, the comedy, the situation lift her in- to prominence; but in this opening scene With Cella the key of her whoie nature is revealed and a dramatic note is touched, that should be retained’ through the entire performance. She enters with Celia in a court gown of the period, and she should walk and move and look like a princess, thee, Rosaiind, sweet, my coz, sat fa am mistress of, and would you yet I were merrier? Unless you could teach me to for- get a banished father you must not teach me how to remember any extraordinary pleasure,’’ Rosalind replies, and there iz a tender sadness in her voice; not weak or wavering, but with quiet rebuke for Celia’s lack of intimate knowledge of such suffer- ing as hers, ‘The reiationship between Rosaend and Celia is a valuable indication of Kosalind’ nature, because ail that Celia suggests in meek uffection for her fricnd is put intu ac- tion by Rosalind. Celia is the spirit and Rosalind the ex- ecutive agent of a great deal that Celia suggests. : Rosaiind has splendid vitality. and a fine energy to sustain her executive ability. The sympathy between these two char- acters is exquisitely poetic. Celia is intro- spective, Rosalind is objective. One would be incomplete without the other. Shakspeare is so great a poet that char- acterization is not not enough to justly in- terpret his meaning. The lines of Rosalind must be worked upon for perfect fluency of speech; a cer- tai nweight. must be given to their rythm. Even the prose passages must he phrased to elucidate their poetic sentiment and metaphor. Pronunciation must be very clear, but avoid recitation. I have never given a recitation in my life, because i consider it to difficult for complete artistic justice, therefore I would wern any student of Shakespeare to guard against the monotones ot recited lines, Having realized the value of these pre- imimary prevarations and having fully understood the disposition and the position of Rosalind in her own world, learn the part. In her Se el i; “Well, I will ferget the condition of my estate to rejoice in yours,” Sq she exerts her will to overcome her native sadness, and thereafter leans on first ecene Rosalind says to ee EE a = ee ret acai. i, a aa te lil, ale, al, lil f- at Nam ataN Delite. 2 eee ee > ard ee “ a pb Fs : « F ee 3 BAC ‘ . vy -— ah) ‘ ; °) Tae a! ffs L 4 a. 4 CS In EPG Sher a ay MRS.

It is in the third sceefle that Shakspeare indicates the latent power of Rosalind’s nature, when Duke Frederick says 10 Cella: ‘She is too subtle for smoothness, Her very silence and her patience Speak to the people, and they pity her.” lier subtlety of sadness, then, is an apparent feature of her presence; it is a subtle sadness, not an emotional display of sorrow. She hides it from the world by grace of her sensitive and cultured breeding, but it is in her eyes, and a little in am oc- casional minor note of her voice. Without the charm, this spel of heart- ache in Rosalind’s tmpersonation, the character bears an incomplete relation to the drama, to the other characters in the play, to the joy and feminine tenderness of her love-comedy with Orlando. True comedy depends largely upon the tenderness of heart beneath the surface, otherwise it is not comedy, it is farce or burlesque, or eccentric humor. Rosalind is an impersonation of true comedy, an idyl of graceful humor. Rosalind’s admiration for Orlando is ac- tua!ly. love at first sight. She sees him enter with Charles the Wrestler, and is at once attracted to whim, forgetful of ‘her previous sadness. ‘Is vonder the man?” she asks with cur- 10us interest, and when the Duke gays: ‘‘Are you crept hither to see the wrestl- thee, and her ing ?"’ Rosalind, still looking intently at Or- lando, answers almost eagerly with de- @Msion: “Ave, my liege! So please you give us leave.”’ | The Duke then tells Rosalind of the dif- ference in the men. “You will take little delight in it, I can tell you, there is such odds in the man,” then, indicating Orlando, the Duke says: “Sneak to aim, ladies; see if you can move him.’’ Rosalind, in spite of her station, ie al- ready moved to pity for Orlando, but she acdresses him first as a Princess would: “Young man, have you challenged Charles the Wrestler?’ Directly Orlando speaks, her feminine in- tuition perceives that he is a gentleman, and. when she next addresses him it is with more warmth and courtesy. “So, young sir, your reputation ghall not therefore fe misprized.’’ * * * The love storv has begun, and it has be- gun in earnest. Rosalind’s love for Orlan- do ts not a comedy; it is the simple pur- pose o° the play. Rosalind was not a flirt nor a coquette; neither was she vain. She was a delightful, clever, sweet-natured girl. L think as a character Rosalind is a mor- al lesson to vain girls. In the stormy third scene of the first act between Roealind, Cella and the Duke Frederick, Rosalind must avoid being too trate She must not be impudent, but should con- duct herself with the d'gnity. self-control and high breeding of a Princess.

The President’s Duty. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Advices from Washington say that the President, though still holding to his re- cent message to Congress, that the plain duty of the United States, under the Con- stitution, Is to give to Porto Rico free trade us a part of the country, yet will sign any bill or enactment agreed upon and en- gineered through Congress by the Repub- lican party leaders, because he will not in- terfere with or obstruct the will of the legislative departmént of the Government. Is it possible, that President MeKinley dees not know, and consider, that the two houses of Congress are not, by themselves, the lawmaking power, and that the Consti- tution makes it the sworn duty and func- tions of the President to approve or dis- approve of every act of Congress before it oan become a law, and that if the enact- ment shall be considered by him to be un- constitutional, unwise, hasty or corrupt he shall disapprove or veto it and remand it to Congress with his reasons and objections stated, and that it cannot be re-enacted over nis veto without a two-thrids vote of each House of Congress. The President ig the special representa- tive of the whole people, and by the plan and purpose of the Constitution he has more elemental power and participation in all legislation than the whole Senate and a majority of the House of Representatives combined, or than the whole House of Rep- resentatives and a majority of the Senate combined.

I think the public in general should show its appreciation of Miss Evesson’s course of action in refusing to be a party to produce before a public audience such a vile “ob- ject lesson’’ as “Sappho.” We wants no such “morals’’ and to two-thirds of the Im- perial audience the “‘moral’’ would not. be evident.

Fitzsimmons and Sharkey Meet in New York on Monday. Tom Sharkey and Bob Fitzsimmons meet in New York this Monday to complete ar- rangements for a’ Limited round bout in which they are to play the star parts. They meet to sign articles, and nothing appears to be in the way of the ‘m doing that except the selection of a referee. Fitzsimmons wants George Siler to referee and Sharkey wants Tim Hurst, and the two may Agree to seiect some other man than those two. The Sharkey-Fitzsimmons fight, if ar- ranged, will have an impcriant bearing on the championship, or rather in deciding the @hallenger of the champion. From all re- rts Sharkey is rounding into fine shape or a season in the ring, and will be a tough customer for anyone to fbeat. A victory over Fitzsimmons would boom ‘is stock, and he evident.y is not afraid to take a chance in making the match. If the men fight they will have to make thelr ar- rangements quickly in view of the chance boxing has to be stopped by the repeal of the Horten law by the New York Cestala- ture. While his rivals are getting together down in New York, Jeffries is seeing the old folks in California. It puzzles one to know what to make of the stories told of the cham- pions condition, but they are probably over- drawn. Jeffries is reported to be suffering from several troubles. One is bio: mi disor- der and the other a crooked arm. The testi- mony of a Hot Springs physician is to the effect that the former !s only’a trifling dis- ease and that electric treatment will fix his arm. Sportsmen who come from Hot Springs speak very highly of Jeffries’ candi- tion. Jeffries will go into the ring with Corbett In as good shape As he was when he met Fitzsimmons. He has plenty of time to train gy May it. No champion could aft- ford to ke chance on *his eoandition against ae good a man as Corbett, who is not a “dub’ by many miles. Brady is too shrewd and Jeffries too sensible to risk ev- erything on one fight when conditions not pretty nearly r ight.

Reports were brought to the eee offices Monday by men refusi ive their names or otherwise reveal t ir iden- tity to the effert that a street car ike was impending among the employes of the Bt. Louis Transit Ca and would be inaugurated Tuesday morning. The grievance alleged by the unknown in- formants was that a number of men had been discharged by the company for taking part in the formation of an organization of employes, and that the strike was to based on a ica that these men be taken back. No corroboration of tnese statements could be secure from a number of the working conductéts who were canvassed. Superintenden: George W. Baumhoff of the Lindell Division was seen and sald without hesitation: “About % out of the 1000 men emplayed on this division were found to be disloyal to the comes? irpcit- ing the men to discontent hey were dropped. It Is not proposed to allow a few discontented men to sow the seeds of dis- loyalty and sedition among the great ma- jority of faithful and loyal men in the com- pany’s employ. Eighty-five per cent of the men on this division have been with us for five years or over. Many of them have been with us from 10 to 16 years. There is no dis- content among the ald emploves. The trouble was limited to a few new men that were taken on. The great majority of our men have been faithful and contented, and so long as they do their work there is ne danger of bad treatment.’ FEIN WANTS HIS DAUGHTER. a Appealed to the Circuit Court for Helg in Getting Her.

Views of the market by prominent St. Louis and Chicago traders: Schwartz-Dupee to Oswald Gravee. It is rare the agricultural outlook has been more propitious than it is new for the farmers. The backbone of winter is broken, the ground over a very large area is covered with snow, the new winter wheat plant is in excellent condition as a whole, and all indjcations are favorable for the spring wees piemenins. harrowing, planting or seeding. So far there has not been a crop scare at home, though we are now in the month when these are liable at any moment to spring out of the wheat flelds, and temporarily bull wheat prices. Yet with fully 30,000,000 acres under seed the country is in position to suffer considerable damege without impairing the prosepet of a olg yield of wheat in 1000. A guggestion is the spring wheat area will be reduced because of tbe high price of flaxseed, this latter being given the pref- erence. This sounds idle, for the reason. the Northwest, which really grows about all the spring wheat, is rich and fertile, and attracts in conse- quence each year a large number of new producers, 6 that every year much virgin land is added to the already large cultivated area. Any inctTease in fiax seeding will be more than counterbalanced by this new land. The hazard is warranted at this early day that America's wheat crop of 1900 will be larger than ever before. It is notable that producers are mar- keting their old supplies with freedom, Western primary pointe getting more than a year ago at this time. They would not dogthis with prices at &e in the Chitago market if there was any | proepect or a possible under supply. Contry eie- vator stocks in the Northwest are 4,000,000 bu less than a month ago, those at Minneapolis and Du- luth 2,750,000 bu more—the grain has s'mply been transferred from country to city elevators. Yet there remains in these interior Northwest eleva- tors over 13,000,000 bu as against 5,500,000 on March 1, 1800. Of course Argentina is shippng heavily, as should have been expected with her | big surplus—2,984,000 bu this week, 11,672,000 bu ; since Jan. 1, against 1,482,000 bu for the like - | week last vear and 5.560.000 from Jan. 1 to March Saturday Year ego.

AN JACTRESS’ GREAT SORROW Mrs. Margaret Hamilton Received a Cablegram Announcing the Sud- den Death of Her Daughter. There was more of sorrow behind the ecenes at Havlin’s Theater Sunday after- noon than was conveyed to the large au- dience that witnessed the ‘Sorrows of Sa- tan,’’ so vividly conceived by Marie Co- relli. There was one woman among the actor folk who, while her heart was al- most breaking. went on with her work and brought out the comedy, the lines called for, while every word she uttered cost her @ pang. Less than an hour before the curtain went up a cable m was received for Mrs. Margaret amiiton. It was from London, England, and it told of the gsud- den death of -her daughter, Louise Ham- liton, who was appearing there in vaude- ville. Mrs. Hamilton takes the part of a landlady in a cheap boarding house and every word she utters and every gesture e makes is full of humor. None in front new of this woman's great sorrow, but the actors did, and her grief was shared by the entire company, though it would never be suspected by those who viewed the performance. Miss Hamilton, whose death was reported — eee | | | from London, ts well known on this side. She created the soubrette part in ‘Coon Hollow’ a few years ago, and played num- erous other parts.

He is unconscious and no statement regarding his attempted self-de- struciion or the causes which led to it can be got from him. Some of the young man’s friends hinted that trouble of a domestic nature had so worked upon his mind that he had become temporarily insane, but the Schmidt family deny emphatically that he had had any kind of a disagreement: at home, and as- sert that he was not in any other trouble, so far as they know. Young Schrmnidt—he is not quite ® years old—left the residence of his mother after dinner Sunday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock He went direct!y to call upon his friend, Stewart Leech, and during ordinary con- versation he managed to borrow Leech’s pistol without arousing suspicion. From ‘Leech’s house Schmidt went to the home of Louis Artmann, superintendent of: the Schweppe store, where Schmidt had also been employed for some time. During Nis visit to Mr. Artmann the boy said nothing to ‘betray a disturbed mindi or to indicate that he contemplated a tragic ending of hig own existence. When he told the Artmanns good by, about 6 o’clock, he said he was going to take a walk along the biuffs near Alton. Instead Schm'‘dt went straight to the Schweppe store and admitted himself with his employer’s key. He went to the third floor, and placing his overcoat, coat and hat on a chair fired one shot Into ‘his right temple. The boy was found about 10 o’clock by the night watchman, who had gone to the store with Schmidt’s father in search Doctors who were called said that from the coagulated > around the bullet hole they judged had shot himseif at least five hours before his condition was discovered.

GUN AT ENGINEER'S HEAD. STUART ROBSON’S OOMPANY HAD TO CONNECT. When the Engineer Refused to Wait for the Properties, He Was Overawed and Yielded Un- der Forceful Protest. But for the quick wit and daring of a property man in the Stuart Robson com- pany, “Oliver Goldsmith’’ wouid not have been produced at the Century Theater in St. Louis Sunday nig‘ht. Mr. Robson and his troupe of actor peo- ple played in Keokuk, Io., Saturday night. The Burlington train for St. Louis left there at 11:40 o’clock and in order to open here Sunday night the company must catch that train. The performance lasted until 10:30 o’clock, and it was thought there was ample time to make the train. The transfer company in Keokuk only had one wagon that could be used Satur- day night, and the snow was so deep on the streets that it was with difficulty trips could be made. Three trips were neces- sary before all of the property could be placed on the depot platform. Before the last load arrived the train for St. Louis reached the depot. The train crew waited five minutes for the belated theatrical property. It did not arrive. The engineer would not hoed the manager’s prayers to walt a few minutes longer. He was expos- tulated with in vain. He woud not be brfbed to wait. He started for his engine with determined tread and entered the cab. As the engineer started for his engine the property man with an idea started for the property -box. The lock was opened in double-quick time, the lid ralis and a big property gun with a wooden barrel was lying on top. Seizing this gun the property man ran for the engine. Just as the engineer was putting his hand on the throttie the property man threw the gun into the cab window. “Open that throtie’ and I will blow he whoie top of your head off,”’ id the prop- erty man in a tragic voice. ‘““We've got to get into St. Lou's to-morrow and we are going on this train. Go throw up your hands or down comes your meathousé.”’ The engineer surrendered and for ten minutes he was ea prisoner. Then the last wagon load of props arrived and was hur- riedly loaded into the baggage oar and the run was made in ewngy (The above story may be the ingenious work of a press agent, but it was related by a business man who aaid it came direct from Mr. Robson, and later was corrobo- rated by another member of the company.) COL. HOGELAND ON CURFEW. An Address Delivered in the Iiindell Avenue M. E. Church. Col. Hogeland gave his lecture, ‘Mother, Child and Curfew,” before’ a good-sized congregation at the Lindell Avenue M. E. Church Sunday night. In his address he included that two-thirds of the population of the United States reside in the country, one-third inhabit the cities, towns and villages ‘and per cent of the crimes came from the cities, towns and villages—as a matter of course from ope-third of the population. He further stated that tpen-teearthes of the inhabitans of the etties were law-abiding and took care of their children, that the other one- quarter of the inhabitants of the ctly made up the lawbreaking and hoodlum element and graduated the thieves and robbers and other convicts for the penitentiaries. He stated that all of our legal machinery and police regulations were for tne purpose of watching the one-quarter of the popula- tion in the cities only, and that the only effective means of reducing crimes in the cities and «mong the ofMefourth of the pop- ulation, or hoodlum elememt, was through the sounding of the curfew signals. These were always promptly obey by three- fourths of the families ond only antago- nized by one-fourth of the population com- pris*mg the hoodlum element. He said there were numerous certificates showing a decrease of 8% per — in arrests of boys an ris in the cities. ng Said it was not surprising that the owners of bie manufactories, bankers and merchants and 8 per cent of the very best element of society wanted the curfew sig- rales, tecause they lessened, not only crime, it lessened taxes. se Bo Dr. King, peaser of the church, paid the speaker of the curfew reform 4 deserved comp.tment for the home building influence of the curfew.

BRIGHT, SCHOLARLY, LITERARY Really the Most Pretentious Thing Augustus Thomas Has Written— “Sorrows of Satan’ and Other Attractions This Week. After seeing Stuart Robson in Augustus Thomas’ new play, “O.iver Goldsmith,” the question .which first presents itself is: Which has performed the most remark- able feat, the man who wrote the play 60 that it could be produced, or the man who presented it in a manner to make it an ermteriaining performance? That both feats are remarkatMe must be admitted by any one who witnessed the production at the Century last evening. The remarkawie feature of tie achieve- ment on the part of the playwright con- sists in making a play of any merit what- ever out of such scanty incident, for there is no part.cular event in the itife of Go.d- smith which stands pre-eminently forth and around which a drama can be written, nor has the author attempted to contrive one. In the accepted mcan.ng of the word there 18 notning dramatic avout the p.ay, Wish depenus Lul ils SUCCESS Claivsy upon the atmosphere—and a rather musty one at taat—which the nistory of literature has tnrown aoout the characters. True, Mr. Thomas has woven into the piece a pretty iitt.e untimsned love story avout whicn the events center, but this of itsei! wouid not prove even entertaining. The play is scholarly and from a literary stand- point is much more pretentious than any- thing that Mr. T’nomas has hitherto writ- ten. Dealing with the sayings and doings of such famous literary and schoiarly charac- ters as Goidsmith, Dr. Joanson, Bamund Burke; and David Garrick it couldn’t very well be otherwise. The remarkable feature of the achieve- ment On the part of Mr. Robson and the players of his company is thut, with a play containing so few dramatic situations and incidents, they have been able to produce an entertainment which would hold an audjence, thoroughly interested, for two hours and a half. Certain it is that the audience !s not heid through any interest in the story which Is being worked out, for there is none, Each af the three acts is almost distinct from the others. Each of them might almost b givn as a sketch by itself. The interest is sustained solely by «the cleverness of the impersonations of the acturs, the brightness of the lines and the epigrams they con- tain. Listen to a few of them. “A second marriage is a triumph of hope over experience.”’ “It’s Irish, anyway, and there’s a black- thorn club over on the corner and that’s Irish, too.’’ ‘*The thought that she cares for me makes rainbows in my eyes when I wink ’em.” *‘We are as far apart as a couple who have been married 40 vears.”’ “One writes to the stars sometimes, though the message can never reach them.”’ Such lines as these and the fact that they are apoken by characters with whom Eng- lish-speaking people are as familiar as with thelr own home folks constitute the charm af the play as presented. In appearance the tmpersonations are such as most of us have imagined them; in speech largely so— with the exception of Mr. Robson himself. It has been said that in “Oliver Goldsmith” he has at last found a play that fits him. The audience went home wondering if Mr. Robson fitted the play. Was Goldsmith real- ly the hesitating Robsan-voiced individual who introduced himself to 8t. Louls last night? We know Dr. Johnson, and we met him in the flesh in H. A. Weaver's character- ization, We have a clear conception of David Garrick, and we but renewed our acquaintance with him in Henry E. Dixie’s impersonation. The Edmund Burke of ‘Walter Hale struck a familiar chord, but Mr. Robson's Goldsmith, which may or may not be the true one, is not the Gold- smith that many of us have learned to love. However, Mr. Robson has made a study of him for years, and the public !s willing to a very large extent to defer to his opinion. One of the cleverest bits of acting among the numerous clever thin done was the love scene made to order by Mr. Dixie. It came during the rehearsal in the second act and captured the audience, It would be unjust in passing not to say a word about the acting of Miss Rockwell, who played the part of Mary Hormeck. The dramatist has given her &o little to do that she is certainly entitled to much credit for the interest she creates In a part which at best is only secondary. “Oliver Goldsmith” will be at the Cen- tury all the week, and a better acquaint- ance with him by St. Louisans generally is certain. The audience last evening was one of the largest of the season. By ‘all odds the strongest attraction of the current geason thus far presented at Havlin’s is that of the present week, the melodramatic allegory, ‘“Mhe Sorrows of Satan,’’ from the cynical and mystical nov- el of the same name by Corelli. Ajijl that is weird and uncanny of the unusual] lit- erary effort is preserved In its dramatized form and much is added in the way of im- pressiveness by the music and scenic ad- juncts with whfch the play is invested. Messrs. Brady and Alston, under whose management “The Sorrows of Satan” js presented, have gathered together a com- pany of unusual strength, its personne] In- cluding the names of a number of people well known. in the dramatic world. The opportunizies for intense expression are many, but what might, In less skillful hands. prove a lugubrious and harrowing performance is consistently leavened by the frequent flashes of comedy that the dra- matist has infused tnto his work. The part of Prince Luclo Rimanez, by Charles Kent, is carefully read and intei- ligently acted, and in all respects his work was consistent. Miss Emily Dodd, as Lady Sibyl Elton, develops strength as the play ' progresses, and her scene in the third act is the strongest of the many which go to make up a problem play of merit. Much of the original] text t« used and the cyni- cism of the author is cleverly brought out in her lines in the firat act—“‘Never show up society—at least in books.” The storv itself is too well known to need reviewing in its dramatic form. The play is well staged. Inoldental to the second act a prettily danced ballet i introduced, The devilin his reincarnated form is delightfully | picturesque as a study and his acquaint- anee in his more cheerful aspect is rather to be desired than not. There were the ARE THE children growing nicely: Stronger each month? A trifle heavier? Or is one of them growing the othe: way? Growing weaker, rowing thinner, growing paler?

Much preparation has evidently been made by the management of Hopkins’ Im. periai for the production of “Tne Land of the Midnight Sun,” a meiloarama of considerabie merit which was put on for the week by the stock company. ‘Mr. Mackley, after. re- haDliitating himself last week in a comeay role, spoiled it ali by again appearing as a heavy villain. He was roundiy nissea every time he appeared, which means that he was a distinct success. Hisses are as music in the ears of the villainous Mr. Mackley. They are as applause to the others in tne cast. Speaking of appiause nobody in the Imperial! company ever got as much of it a3 did Miss Kvesson when she made her first entry Sunday afternoon. It was an ovation of the first order. She returned tie compliment by giving an excelent interpre- tation of her part. Miss Bateman, too. nad many friends in the audience. ‘they liked her sketch, ‘“‘The Silent System,”’ much bec- ter than tne one she presented last week. The vaudevilie bill includes also Wallace and Sisson in a comedy sketch, Miiler ana Borgelt, with illustrated songs, and the Rosinis, comic acrobats. A sketch, differing from those usually seen in vaudeville {n that pathos is minglea liberally with comedy, is “A Close Shave,” Which J. F. Crosby, Jr., and Inez Forman are presenting at tne Calumbia this week in a delightfal fashion. The plot is arrangea around a burglar, who, fleeing from the po- lhe, takes shelter in the home of his re- spectable brother, whom he closely resem- bies. His sister-in-law mistakes him for her husband and the complications that en- sue give rise to some very happy comedy situations. ( Those dear ald friends of vaudeville lov- ers, Milton and Dolly Nobles, are again seen in the funny comedietta by Mr. No- bles, entitled “Why Waiker Reformed.”’ Mr. Nobles is inimi:able in a drunken scene in which he probably does the best comedy work of his stage career. Mrs. Nobles as his wronged wife is sweet and pretty enough to reform a much worse man than “Tam Walker.” The Sisters Monitere appear in a difficult horizontal bar act, which requires strength that few men can boast. They introduce several new features that are as difficuy as original. Julian Rose has a Hebrew monologue and sings some catehy. parodies on popular songs. The gallery, unable to comprehend is Jokes at the Sunday matinee, attempted to hiss him from the stage. The pit and balcony, which were appreciative of his ef- forts, vwame to his aid and drowned the hisses with cheers. Albini, a comely magician, does some clever palming work and performs a long list of mevetertoein tricks. ccueael and Nel- son are two nimble soubrettes who do some clever dancing. Tom and Lilly Engleh have an eccentric musical turn in which they present may novel features. Other good things at the Columbfa this week are W. B. Moseley, impersonator: Higgins and Leslie, jokers; Lovenberg Sis- ters, novelty dancers; William Windom and the Blackstone Quartette; the Two. Kings, acrobats, and the kinodrome. ‘A Temperance Town,” Hoyt’s, opened at the Grand yesterday for the week. It more closely approaches simple, undefiled com- edy than any other play Hoyt has ever written. It lives on its own merit and it isn’t necessary to introduce an array of specialties to sustain it. George Richards and Eugene Canfleld, who started out with the piece, and are reputed to be two of the best comedians Hoyt ever unearthed, are reepectively Launcelot Jones, the town drunkard, and St. Jullan Jones, his son. They are just as funny as ever and do not seem to have tired of their parts. J. C. Kline shares the honors with them as Un- cle Joe Viall, the “oldest inhabitant.” He gives a character er that would shine on a higher priced stage, The strong ‘favoritism of Il Trovatore was never shown more clearly than by the numerous requests which have n re- ceived at Music Hall for ite repetition since the wook of its first presentation last No vember. The letters received have shown that there were many who dtd not hear it and others who want to hear i{t again. To both classes the Castle Square Company yields in giving this second week which, already from the box office sale, omises to be a much greater success than the first. Bizet's Carmen goes into rehearsal this week and the long-deferred opera wil! follow Il Trovatore. n the cast will be Mme. Selma Kronold, Miss Grace Golden and Mr. Joseph F. Sheehan. The Hungarian Czardas, by Grossman as played by Well’s Concert Band, arous unbounded enthusiasm among the large audience that attended the seventeenth con- cert of the band at the Olympto eater Sunday afternoon. The heroic character of this number was ably Diended on a pr>- gramme of other popular eelections in all of which the musicians under Director Well did fine work, “‘“Gems from Faust’’ and ‘Scenes from Traviata,” giving t reed and brass sections ample scope. The sing- ing of Miss D’Albert found favor. Manager Arthur Geserich of the Grand feels that be ts particularly fortunate in securing the new muetcal farce, ‘Hello Bill,” for his benefit next Monday night. ts are now ing reserved for that occasion and unless all signs fail, Mr. Geserich will have the banner benefit of the |. season, At the lympto, this evening, Francis Wilson will present Victor Herbert’s opera, “Cyrano de Bergerac.’’ The advance sale indicates a well-filled housa If the weather is any ways favorable {ft will be crowded. The Standari is presenting another of the big Hurtig & Seamon.attractions this week, the extravaganza being call mee Social Maid,’’ which furnishes a vehicle for the introduction of the burlesque idea which has made Hurtig & Seamon’s shows popu- lar with Standard audiences. Besides the efforts of a very large cast to entertain there is a atring of specialty acte by clever ,cople that pads out the bill, making ‘‘A Social Maid" as a whole responsfble for much that is satisfying. Two full houses yesterday started the week in a booming way and attested the appreciation of ‘A Social Maid” and her popularity. BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T WORK. Joe Noonan Was Sent to the Work- house for Six Months. Joe Noonan was before Judge Sidener Monday with a charge of idling egainst him. ‘Noonan and Dan Julian were Saturday in South St. Louds. Julian had been out of ‘the penitentiary but a few weeks and the police knew of his doing nothing since his release. Julian was dis- charged. Noonan was convicted a week or two ago, but Judge Sidener recommended that his fine be remitted, on receipt of a letter stating that Noonan would go to work. “Well, Noonan, I gave you a chance last week to g0 out and work,” said the Judge. “Rut it secamns that you will not work for wages. N ow I will give you a chance to work for nothing. I will just fine you $50. Tnat will give you Six months tn the Work- house and by that tlme you may learn to work.’ WOMAN'S HOME MISSION.
