liza thousand citizens had been
killed in New Orleans on the 4th of
January, and q bloody riot quelled
by United States troops, the oppon-
ents of the Administration might
have found occasion to commend the
interference of Federal troops. But
the prevention of riot and bloodshed
by the prompt action of a United
States officer, under the direction of
the Governor of the State, is made
the pretext to attack a gallant soldier
and the Administration which sus-
tains him. We favor law and order

ing tragelian at our little theater is
named Hammer, and he has gone
away now OH Il sick leave. They
produced Il week or two ago Il piece
entitled "Demon of the Hartz," and
Mr.. Hammer assumed the character
of the demon. The young man upon
whom devolved the duty of opening
and shutting the traps was also in
structed to flash crimson flames up
through the hole at intervals, for the
purpose Of creating the impression
that the Internal regions were i'm
mediately beneath the stage, and
were in a condition of terrific and
perpetual combustion. He was some-
what inexperienced, but he seemed
to plunge along well enough for a
while. In the third act, Mr.. Ham
mer, the demon aforesaid, had to 90

at the conclusion of the encounter

Stones office on stretcher by the

Hammer then went home to see what

Of the Hartz has been permanently
withdrawn.-Nn: 4deler.
