THE DRAMA IN JAPAN.
Good Acting Always Greeted With q
Shower of Hats and Coats.

Shower of Hats and Coats.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The japanese school of acting might be
called the natural ono, the whole progress
of the play being carried on IN the quiet,
even tones of every day. There is little
bombast or rant except in the classical in
terludes. when everything is as st;lted and
conventional as possible. Pathos is always
deep and long drawn, and the last tear is
wrung from Che eyes of the audience, that
responds with haudkerchiefS to the slightest
appeal to the emotional 81 lie. Tragedy is
very tragic, and murders more CORY than we
would quite enjoy. Death on the Japane 80
stage always results from sword cuts and
the antics of fencers, the wonderful eudur-
ance of the hacked victims and the streams
of red paint that pour from all over them
before they die are rather too much. The
audience enjoys this, however, and they
shout, Shrek and whoop with delight when
a good, CORY combat goes on. To express
greater approval they throw pieces of their
clothing or ny of their valued belongings
OIL the stage, just as excited young ladies at
the opera hurl their bouquets at Patti and
queens draw off diamond rings and brace
letS to hand 20 Nilsson.
A foreigner who saw the rain of coats
sashes, etc, falling Oh the stage after a
tArilling scene, tossed his hat over too. 1t
was an Old one that he did not care Tor. He
had a soft cap in his pocket, and he thought
it rather a nice thing TO be able to follow
the fashion of the country. AT the end Of
the play the manager brought his hat to him
and asked for the $40 The enthusiast then
found that all things tossed to the star were
merely pledges to be afterward redeemed
by money, the actors having regular
scheduie-so much for cont, a kimono, a
sash and pipe, and corresponding sums for
foreigners hats aud loo,e ARTICLES. The EN-
thusiast sadly paid his $40 and took back
his abused hat, as the manage only bowe |
and continued to hold it out in spite of his
generous protests about his wishing the star
to keep it as a small souvenir.

HE INVADED AN OLD MANS HOME
AND RUINED TWO WOMEN.

Daughter-The Wronged Husband
! Packed Away in a Garret-A Change
of Base.
CHARLESTON, March l7.-A'queer case,
nearly resulting in a tragedy, has been
brought to light to-day. In December last
stranger, about whom nobody seems to
know anything, went to the village of Sum
merville. He said he was piano tuner,
! and gave his name as Falkner, and secured
quarters in the house of August Henne, an
| old German, who lived in Summervile and
kept a store Henne's family consisted of
himself, his wife, aged about As, daughter
Minnie, aged IA, son Henry, aged 20, and
son August, aged IL years. Henne's story
is that Falkner bewitched his wife and
daughter and was criminally intimate with
both of them.
PUT IN THE GARRETT.
They put him in the garnet while Falk-
ner occupied room adjoining and commu-
nlcating with that occupied by his wife and
daughter. Finally, after having been hV
ing on the old man for two months Falkuer
left for Charleston, taking with him Mrs.
Henne her daughter and the younger son,
and also taking all the old mans furniture.
Falkner has been living in this city ever
since with the Henne family. To-day Hen
ry Henne, aged 20 years, went to the Fatk-
ner house and shot Falkuer. One shot was
fired, ball entering Falkner's mouth and
penetrating his cheek. Henne then gave him
self up. Falliner's wouId is not serious. TIE
st.angest part of the story is that old Henne
says he made an application to tie Trial
Justice and Intendant of Summervilie, DO h
of whom refused to interfere in his behalf.
Falkner has been living here with Mrs.
Henne and her daughter and son, in a house
on st. Phillip street.
ST. PATRICK's DAY.
st. Patrick's day was celebrated here with
military honors. The pontifcal military
mass was celebrated at st. Patrick's church
at o'clock this morning. Tonight two
banquets are in progress.
The whole city is agitated on the subject
of Sunday cocktails. The Chief of Police
has been directed by the City Council to
close up all places of business tomorrow.
The order was issued on a petition of 1900
citizens. The cigar and fruit storekeepers,
as well as the barkeeperS, held a meeting
last night, but adjourned till Thursday
next 1t is said that they will boycott all
the parties who signed the petition.

1t would be pleasant to reinstate about
three kinds of liquor, and nobody said a
word except the Prohibition party, and
may God bless the Prohibition party.
Jesus saw leper and the diciples would
have gone away, when the leper held his
hand to his mouth and cried unclean, I'M
clean; but Jesus walked up to him, his
kindly eyes looking upon him and said,
what will you have. The politician would
have said whisky straight, but this leper
said, would be clean. Jesus said be thou
clean.
Ii Jesus could get chance to touch the
hearts here they would leap into life The
question is daily being asked has Jesus
power to save US. May Jesus
fill our hearts with spiritual life
that We may be the instruments
in Gods hands to save sinners. / am the

life and you will never get it unless you
have all else and work with God A wo-
man once said if / could see Jesus he
would heal me. When Jesus came she
pressed forward in the throng and in
faith touched the hem of his garment
Jesus said who hath touched me. His
disciples said why ask when there are
great throng pressing around. He did not
care for the throng. He said who touched
me. He knew that some one had touched
him because virtue had gone out of him.
The woman said / am healed and He
knows have touched him. Oh, yes, gone
out OF him to you. If we would
only come to Jesus alight our souls would
be filled with this life until We would sing
for JOY and shout until some of these as
thetical people and disnified corpses would
get up on their dignity and conclude we
were all drunk. These people called Tai

A CHANGE OF BASE.

1t has been known for some time that the
police have been cleaning out some of the
worst houses in this city. Some of these
houses occupied by frail women. were a
resort for some of about as low down
rOughs as could be conveniently found
They had become an insufferabe nuisance
to certain localities, and the people living
in the sections where these houses were
located unanimously resolved that they
must go. Some of these streets and alleys
in the 1--WE small hours" of the morning
were in possession of drunken, bowling
mob among which no decent person would
care to risk himself, The police in squads
sailed forth into these places, and the in
mates were introduced to his honor Judge
Dixon. One introduction was not regarded
as anything very serious, but they were
repeated too frequently to be amusing, and
the gangs were routed. The streets be-
came quiet, doors were CLOSED, the gaudyre
window blinds were removed and the omi-
nous sign ''To Rent" was noticeable on
conspicuous place of these sinful retreats.
These women, the doors Of whose houses
at all hours stood wide open, have gone
Where? People in a position to know say
these people OF unsavory reputation have
broken up into small gangs, and while try

responsibility, have gone into the best

gentleman and his wife occupied
a suite of rooms, and on the other side
were couple of the worst women in this
city who had been driven from low re-

assumed name. He said these people in
short time would, if property holders We're

to occupy these buildings, Immediately
