In Paris noisy demonstrations, at least
In the interior of theatre, are no longer
considered good form, and they have De-
come exceedingly rare, but in the prov
inces the public are very jealous of their
rights, and on the slightest provocation
assert them by whistling at any unfortun-
ate actor who may happen TO incur dis
pleasure. As far back as 1913, police
ordinance undertook to put stop to the
practice by forbidding under penalty OF the
stocks anything calculated to disturb the
good order Of theatrical performance.
This, however, remained a dead letter, and
the same may be said Of the modern regu-
lations on the suit ject which forbid all acts
in places Of amusement that in any way
prevent spectators from seeing or hearing
the performance. Were they to be enforced
they would have to be applied against those
who applaud IS well as against those who
hiss. Were this not done there would be
a manifest contradiction in Furnishing o
man for giving a shriil whistle which,
after all. does not drown either the words
OF the acto- or the music OF the orchestra,
while those who by clapping their hands,
stamping with their feet, or humping on
the floor with canes and umbrellas are
allowed TO continue unmolested and TO re-
commerce at pleasure. In reality, ap-
rlause does more 10 interrupt perform
nIce than any EXPRESSION Of disapproba-
on-Paris Cor New Orleans Picayune.

A modern cigarette girl is nothing il
not a myth. She is popularity supposed
to be picturesque, gay, emotionalsand not
unlike the lurid Ouida's sparkling hero
inc, who was Cigarette herself to one OF
her marvellous heroes. The actual Great
ure of everyday life is practical young
person-often little more than child
who SITS herself down before her brown
heap of shredded tobacco in the early
morning end scarcely lifts either eyes or
voice until the days stint is over: often
poorly dressed, rarely over joyou', but
always Industrious.
OF course, it naturally follows that in a
class of people where girls from 20 to Is
years Of age are set to work all the graces
Of cultivation are not to be found, and yet
the actual state Of morality among them
is far better than is often suggested. Ten
years ago there were any number Of girls
wandering about from city to city and
from factory to factory, and they were
sometimes Of little credit to womankind.
They had been up and down so many
times that they got careless, and they
drank and said bad words, like their big,
bad brothers. The manufacturers took 1t
in hand and soon weeded out the unplens-
ant element, getting as closely as possible
to the line OF faithful, honest girls.-Fan-

THE SourH GERS THE LroN's SHARE ed.
The announcement of the committees of
the House was awaited here with intense
interest. No one was disappointed when it
was made except, the Northern Democrats,
who are now, as they have been, playing
second fiddle to the Southern wing of their
party. Speaker Csrlisle's makeup of the
committees is in strict accordance with the
policy of this administration, which is to
food the public offices with Southern men.
the majority of whom are ex-rebels. The
North is ignorant of the extent to which the
South has regained control Of and become
the dominant power in the republic. The
North does not know how thoroughly South

National Capital. The old-time iusolence and
braggadocio is seen and heard upon the
streets, and il only lacks the crack of the
pistol, and the CLEAN of the bowie knife. To
carry US back to 81. The South including
Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee, get
twenty-eigh out of the ffty-one chairman
ships. The great State of New York secured
three, while Missouri gets FIVE. New England
is ignored entirely except that one chairman
of an unimportant committee is appointed
from Massachusetts. But the loyal intelli-
gent and wealthy States of Texas and Arkansas
receive three and two chairmanships re-
spectively. The chairman of the Committee
on Military Affairs knows nothing of the art
of warfare, having. as the Tribune aptly puts
it, "never fought with anything but his
mouth" The head of the committees on
Merchant Marine and the Fisheries, is from
the inland State of Arkansas, whose mer-
chant marine consists of fiat bottomed steam
ers and cat-beats. and whose fisheries are
confined to horned pouts caught from fallen

grave mistake. Moral suasion, right in

are more powerfully effective than the
law, and the aid of these can alone render
the law practically successful. Those
who say the law must do everything are
just as wide of the mark as those who

Prohibition Enforced.

The number of convictions for the
violation OF the prohibitory law at the
recent session of the Superior Court, and
the amount of fines and imprisonment
imposed on the convicted, indicate that
the county and municipal officials, the
court and the jury have faithfully per-
formed their duties. The facts show that
the law can be enforced, and the beneficial
influence is very apparent to all who look
at things impartially. The amount of
liquor selling and drinking is much less
than where the law is not enforced
While the amount purchased out Of the
State and sent to individuals, for their
