OLD ROMANS IN TROUSERS.
4 singular Spectacle on the PittsburE
Stage Whom Warde Played YirRinsa.

A singular Spectacle on ths Pittaburg
Stage Whom Wsrde Played virginas.
The opera-house presented a decided
novelty last evening to those who were for
tunate enough to be there during the ear
lier portion of the programme. Mr.. Fred
erick Warde was to present the grand old
tragedy "Virginus." Somehow the bag
gage OF the company sailed to arrive at
the theatre In time.
At $50 Mr.. Warde appeared before the
curtain and stated that the baggage would
not be on hand for little while, and if
there was no objection the first three acts
of the play would be presented without the
aid OF Roman togas. This he knew would
be trying to the audience, but it would
certainly be more so to the actors. Still
rather than have a tedious wait 1t could be
done. The audience did not dissent, the
curtain rose und then followed the strang-
est presentation of the old Roman play
ever witnessed in this country.
lcilius appeared in atwo-buttOn cutaway
and striped pair of trowsers, with hair
parted IN the middle and B. o. p. Elks
pin in his necktie.
Virginia (Adele Belgrade) was in neat
lifting street dress, which is evidently in
tended for duty between the hotel and
stage door. Her hair was combed back.
and neat little Psysic knot together with
comely face and pretty figure, made
Virginia q welcome sight, even without
the clinging robe of Roman maiden.
Caius Claudius has rather good tailor.
only the pants are little short, and when
he vowed eternal friendship for his villain
0us friend Appius his coat sleeves few up
to = degree that left yawning chasm
between his shirt sleeve and the cuff,
which made q heroic attempt to cling fast.
Dentatus was all right. It required a
little stretch to imagine the grey hairs
that Appius talked about, but as Appius
said that was all that saved Dentatus, and
as the latter didn't file protest or make a
single kick, the audience decided to let it
90 at that.
When Mr.. Warde strobe in as Vlrrip-
ius In nice Prince Albert coat and hair
of chestnut brown, little scant on top.
his greeting was just as warm as if he had
been an inch thick with grease paint and
his visaRe all lined up with pure modern
VirRinius wrinkles. He never blanched
but went about his work with great fervor
really remarkable under the circumsta noes,
So earnest was he that every disposition

.p,pN.r KNOW IT WAS LOADED
The yo,,ng man feil dead :.

The young man feil dead.
 A friend had pointed a revolver at him.
 "He didn't know it was loaded"
 We often hear it stated that a man IS not responsible for what he does not know. The law presuppOses knowledge and therefore cOnvicts the man who eX- cases crime by ignorance!
 "HI had only known" has often been m unfortunate mans apology for some evil unknowingly wrought, but Tn matter of general interest-as for ln- stance that laudanum is 8 poison, that naphtha is deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged with a winters accumu- latiors of the waste of the system,-it IS one's duty to know the fact and the conse- uuences thereof. Our good old grand mothers knew for instance, that the open. ing of spring was the most perilous period of the year.
 Why?
 Because then the blood stream IS sluggish and chilled by the cold weather, and if not thinned good deal and made to flow quickly and healthfully through the arteries and veins, it is impossible to have good yigor the rest Of the year Hence. without exception, what IS now known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa. parilla. was plentifully made and relioiously given to every member of the family regularly through March, April, Nav and June. It is a matter of record that this prudential, preventive and re- storafiye custom saved many a fit Oi sickness. prolonged life and happiness to a vigorous old age, and did away with neavv medical expenditures.
 Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, Kv. used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa- parilla s'for nervous sick headache oi which I had been 6 sufferer for years. It has been a great benefit to me. Capt. Hugh Harkins, 1ll4 $. l5th St., Philadelphia, Pa, says 'it purified my blood and removed the blOtcbes from my skin." Mrs. Aarea Smith, Iopton, Berks Co, Pa., says she "was entirely cured of a skin disease of the worst kind" by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indicates very bad condition of the blood.
 If you would live and be we'll, go to your druggist to-day and get Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other,-there's nothing like it or as good, and completely renovate your impaired system with this simple, old-fashiOned preparation of roots and herbs.
 Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is a guarantee of excellence all over the known world. Take it yourself and give it to the other members of the family, including the children. You will be astonished at its nealth-giving and life-prolonging powers. We say this editorially with perfect confidence, because we have heard good things of it everywhere, and it's name ia . guarantee that it is first class in every particular.

At a meeting of the Nation al League in Washington recently at which General E. F. Beale presided, resolutions were adopted thanking Senator Ingalls, for his fearless and patriotic defense of the republican party and his arraignment of Voorhees, and his copperhead allies. who in the nations hour of peril sympa- thized and plotted with the rebels, en- couraged the enemies of our country in ther reasonable work, but lacked the courage to openly unite with traitors and fight for the cause" It also pro- posed to hold a public reception to the Kansas senator. A committee repre- senting the league will call upon Ingalls, with an engrossed copy of the resolu- tions and ask him to fix date for the reception.

Prof. Colbert, who at the solicitation of a Chicago editor investigated Donnel' ly's claims for the discovery of cipher in his great book. The Cryptogram' expresses the conviction that NIT, DOn- nelly must be conceded to have pene- trated far more deeply into the heart of the great mystery Of the authorship of the immortal dramas than has any previous investigator, or than ali put together. "HiS work on the cipher will terribly shake the bard on the pedestal of his tame. 1t 1t does not prove to be the 'speare' that glves the death blow to his reputation as writer of the plays which bears his name, and will possibly continue to do so. In the minds of the muIltudes who read the book, the Great Cryptogram,' will topple William Shakespeare from the throne which he has occupied for nearly three centuries, while others will still fondly cling to their dramatic idol and refuse to give him up."

Decision Affecting Stock Raisers

Decision AnocttnS otoC~ """0"
 Judge Zane, in the third district court at Salt Lake, Utah. has rendered de- cision of great importance tc the sheep and cattle men of the wes'. The Prom ontory Cattly company. few years ago, purchased large tract of railroad land m Boxelder county. The railway lands are the even numbered sections, the alternate sections still belonging to the public domain. Through the pur- chase they became the owners of rail- road lands or tracts tof country stretch ing fo,ty miles north and south and thirty-slx miles east and west. The government lands included in this area foo. up more than S5o,ooo acres. John s. Houtz and score of other defendants who own large flocks Of sheep claimed that they had right to the use of the public land tor grazing purposes, and also to pass over the com pany's lands m crossing, and as the company could not fence except Tn sim gle sections, for that would enclose government lands, an application was made to thec court asking that the sheep men to keep off the tract altogether. Judge Zane refused to grant the in- junction. He said if the injunction was issued 1t would secure to the plain tiff the right not only to its own land, but also exclusive right to the use of the government lands. It would fur ther impose great hardship on all per- sons driving this class Of stock from one section 50 another in compelling them to go around a tract thirty-siy by fOrs, .sles. Ssocksnr~rsr

Arkansas has been regarded, and justly too, as one of the backwoods states. But this is all changing there. Rail roads have pentrated the state bringing in new population and giving the people facilities for becoming acquainted with the outside world. The public school system has taken root there. Last year there were over 2,ooo free schools in operation in the state. Arkansas is be- coming enlightened and is now in better condition than ever before to invite immigration.
