"Herod and Marianne" tragedy by
Miss Amelie Rives, treats of a biblical
theme with no reference to the Bible.
Herod marries the girl and then gets a
regular Otbello attack of jealousy In long
spasms, broken by lucid intervals OF high
romance and intervals of long drawn
kisses, which he generally prefers to i'm
press on the young lady's shoulders
There is certainly great deal OF force
in the writing Of the play, though it may
not be well constructed dramatically
Doubtless the talented author meant 1t as
o dramatic poem.
1t will be in one respect cause OF con-
graduation to the friends Of Miss Rives
that she has written something devoid of
the common place language of her prin-
cipal story.
The synopsis of the play published in
the Herald is, however, not fair and
full enough expression of the piece to
base criticism on.

The great cattle kings will soon be a
thing of the past. The business for
mcrly known rs "cattlc ranching on the
western plains of America will only be
known in history, or at least the day OF
large herds upon free ranges IS soon To be-
a thing of the past Recently. while
talking with t. q. Head, cx-prcsident of
the International Range association, and
one of the best informed men on this
subject in the west. me said: There is a
changed condition brought about BY the
constant tide of home seekers in the new
west The cattle will he divided and
suhdivided into comparatively small
herds for few years, Yet many large
herds will continue to be met with upon
the open range country. Then, again,
where ownership is not exercised over
large grazing land holdings. as is the
case in Texas, New Mexico and Old Mex
leo, large herds of cattle will continue
there to be grazed until such lands be
come too valuable for grazing and are
rendered adaptable for other uses. The
present condition of the cattle interests is
quite promising.
Climatic conditions during the past
year, and more especially during the past
winter and present spring, have been ex-
ceptionally favorable" continued Mr.
Head, land the results have been of the
most satisfactory character. While it is
true that prices on the beef markets. as
rule, have prevailed low for three years,
many reasonable causes exist for it, and
not the least Of these has been the rapid
requirement by settlers of the former
range country, thus causing hundreds OF
thousands of cattle to seek markets of
slaughter in All immature and wholly I'M
fit condition. Then there have been ex-
cessive droughts through the grain grow
ing states, causing shortage in the grain
crops. Consequently a high price for
the cereal was also the cause of forcing
upon the markets from among the far
mers Of the other grain growing states
large numbers of cattle, which also had
an influence on market values. Denver

ovcrworked Dog. in Germany.

Some philanthropist in Germany
should send his name reverberating
down the ages as the friend and protector
Of overworked dogs The condition of
these poor animals throughout Germany
Is blot upon Nineteenth century civilza-
ton. They passed law in England
prohibiting the Use of dogs for dragging
vehicles. but there is no such law in
Germany. A customary sight is wo-
man Is years of age harnessed to a cart
with two dogs drawing it YEARLY along
country roads or through the streets of
the cities. Very often the woman gives
il up or is tco feeble to bear her share.
and then she varies the journey by alter
nately pushing the cart and whipping
the dogs as she walks by their side. A
cart about the size of a street cab in New
York, and often loaded To- the height of
five or six feet 10y merchandise, is the
usual load for an old woman and two
dogs. A cart of smaller dimensions is
often dragged by the dogs alone, and
sometimes one poor beast is seen strug-
Cling along under load that an American
would consider up to the powers of an
average horse.
The dogs are of all sorts of breeds, but
invariably large and strong. They are
muzzled-for they grow savage under
their harsh treatment-and are harnessed
a good deal after the fashion of horse.
The faithfulness and industry of the poor
creatures are wonderful. They will toll
along the dusty roads straining every
muscle in their bodies until they drop
dead in their tracks, and dead dogs by
the roadside in this country are by no
means uncommon. At night IN the
streets of Berlin are countless vendors
carts displaying fruit, and to every one
is attached dog or two. As soon as
they have dragged the load into Berlin,
the woman who is selling the fruit takes
Il small square of carpet out of the cart
and places it on the pavement. The dog
then rolls himself up on it and is tenderly
covered with another rug To protect him

for him to begin his journey home.

An Alteration OF Earnestness.

One OF the minor critics of earnestnesS
says il a late English magazine Women
are much more bitten with this earnest
mood than men. Was there ever such an
age as ours for societies, guilds, fedora
tions? Many women spend their lives at
committee meetings"
And so the writer runs on. The truth
that seems TO shine out of all these mistS
Of doubt and despair is that it is the little
earnestness, like the little learning, that
is a dangerous thing That is to say, it
is the shallow earnestness, ii one may so
term it, the pretense, affectatiOn or imita-
ton Of it which bores society. Nothing
SO disgusts me-" said brilliant Boston
woman, the other day, "as humanity en-
pose" And saying this she touched a
universal truth that we all feel, even II
we fail to formulate il SO wildly. The
persons who pose for earnestness-and
they are not few-are bores; but they
who have forgotten themselves in true
and earnest devotion to noble ideals IN
humanity are our inspirers as well as
guides they are the men and women who
not only interest society but who make
society. They are the poles around which
society centers. Boston Traveller

was given his phonograph, which made
speeches, whistled, sang songs and did a
great many things for the assembled audi

given for Edison, and number of

Remembering n Benefactor.

One of the last acts Of the late En-
peror Frederick was TO grant pension
of 500 to the widow of Frederick Froe-
bel. Froebel did vast amount of good
for education, not alone III Germany, but
all over the globe. He was the founder
of the kindergarten system Of instruction,
the most practical of known systems for
the young child. By the Froebel system
the child's mind is developed just as It's
muscles are developed. In fact, the kin
dergarten plan develops mind and muscle
simultaneously. Wherever the value OF
education is understood there is the name
of Froebel held in honored estimation.
But like great many others who gave
their lives for the benefit Of mankind he

THE CONCLUSION THEORY.

Yellow fever seems 10 have clsimed
Jacksonville, for It's own for the season,
and. judging OF the future by the past. the
disease, which Is characterized as the
Creeping disease" and which Is always
slow Ia its movements at first, but steadily
increases its pace and maiignity, Will be-
fore long, no doubt, be reported as fully
getting in Its deadly work. The people
of the stricken city seem to be alive to
the dread prospect before them, and those
who have not become panic stricken and
made their escape, are resorting 10 every
means Ia their power to stamp out and
destroy the pestience. o.
Among the many OF the measures to
I've tried to accomplish this purpose Is
what IL known as the "concussion
theory" This was theory advanced
by the late Mr.. Hsrdee of Jacksonville
relative of General Hardee of Georgia
that the firing of cannon would, by con
cussion, kill the microbes, which 1t is
believed cause the fever, and at the same
time would so rarity the atmosphere
that the maIarial influences would be
materially lessened if not dissipated. II
is only theory, and there are many who
do not believe that it has any merit. The
authorities of Jacksonville, however,
have, so it is said, determined to test 1t,
and the result of the experiment will be
watched with interest by the scientific
world, and humanity In general.

MALONE AND BLAINE.

II Is announced taat to-day the anti.
Malone wing of the Republican party Of
Virginia will appear before the National
Republican Committee and endeavor to
induce that body to settle the differences
between the two-factions If this is so, the
result may safely be predicted in adj
vance, for General Malone who carries
the rank and file of Virginia Radicals in
his breeches pocket. will be recognized,
and the kickers will have to surrender.
In fact, 1t is more than probable that the
Wise Houstonites have taken this step as
the most graceful means presented them
of bowling to the inevitable.
When this question is.settled the Vir-
ginia Republicans will be reunited, and
will present solid front to the Democ
racy. Riddleberger, who received Sc

and the issue of Democracy versus Radi
calism will be presented in Virginia just

When this reunion Of the Radical ranks

is generally conceded that Blaine and not
Harrison is really running for the Presi-
dency Of the United:States. The former,
on account of his VIGOROUSLY bad record,
and recognized weakness before the
country, could not be nominated, so the
grandson OF his grandfather, who perhaps
never said a foolish thing, but most
certainly never did wise one, was placed
in the front as figurehead Everybody
understands, therefore, that, in case of
Harriscn's election, Blaine is to be the
prime minister of the government and
the power behind the throne, and every
