The other day the Emperor, busted
in his own room, heard a violent tumult
in the nursery and speedily, made his
way TO the scene. When he entered,
the Crown Prince and Prince Eitel
drew themselves up and 'saluted their
father in the military fashion, as is
their wont. "What Is all this noise
about p asked the Emperor. "A
slight dispute, sire" said his eldest sen,
"and | was obliged to let my brother
know who is Crown Prince in this
establishment. Good" said His
Majesty, II see what you mean, and |
think II will be as well If let you know
in the same way who is Emperor in this
particular family" and he forthwith
administered punishment which i'm

AS TO ARTISTS, SUBJECTS.

In another column local artist com
ments briefly on the practice among
American artists of treating foreign
subjects when they have so many of in
terest and attractiveness at home. There
Is great deal of sense in this criticism.
The American artist need no longer be
copyist and imitator. If land.
scapes be his specially, certainly no
other country in the world offers
him more. If he be portrait painter
he has his field here, for we are old
enough and have notable men and
women enough. If he make specially
of battle scenes he has the record before
him of hundreds of bloody fields. If
he lean toward genre pictures, this is a
land of varying and picturesque human.
ily. The American artist need not go
abroad.

evening that u CnITIC reporter met
Mr.. John Roland Reed, the oldest living
theatrical man, not only in the United
States, but the world. Mr.. Reed Is the
father of Roland Reed, the wel.known
actor.

Theatre for fifty-six years; five years at
the National, one year at the Temple

Gus that the profession has been revo.

theatre had q stock company composed
of about thirty.five people. The season
would open In August and close in
July. Sometimes q new tragedy would
be given every night, In those days
we had the first old man, the second old
man, the high and low comedian, the
first old woman, the second old woman,
and the heavy man, etc. The stock
companies gave scope for the cultiva-
ton of talent, and each player was per.
feet in the part assigned him or her.
And they were advanced according
to ability displayed. But now
how different is everything, One or
two good actors form a combination and
with lot of people travel from city to
city producing plays that consist of
nothing more than lot of tomfoolery
The star and leading man or lady get
all the salary. want to see the day
return when the old-timc plays will be
produced as they were at the Walnut.
And II the old stock companies could
be revived feel that il would do much
toward giving us another Forest, an.

all Irish character actors ] ever saw
another Booth, another Kean, another
Lucille Western, Charlotte Cushman,

excellent actors now, but they don't

the small parts that are so essential to

A HIDEOUs AFFAIR

DIR. Francis Buckner of Covington,
Ohio, is hard cruel man. He has
not a particle Of that sentiment about
him which leads us TO the belief that
disembodied spirits hover about us and
are ready 10 communicate with us II
we will but afford medium. DR..
Francis Buckner may or may not keep
hoarders regularly-the telegraph is al
ways meagre in detais-but IL appears
that some weeks ago Dr. Warner, a
Sphitualist and medium, and two
women from Chicago, also in close
communication with the spirit world,
took rooms in the Buckner residence.
Last Monday night something hap
pened Here is the tale
Buckner came In from professional visit
and found Warner holding a scance In his
parlorassisted by two women named Hughes
and Shaw of Chicago. Several neighbors were
present and the disembOdied were making
frequent visits to the room white some
thing that claimed to be q dead sister of Mrs
Buckner was sliding about the room. II was
too much for the doctor, and before any one
realized what was going on he had the some
thing In his arms II yelled, but II was use
less, and Buckner dragging II TO the hall
door, threw II forciby down the steps, when
after the wraps We're removed, II proved TO
be Mrs. shaw, with cut and bleeding face
Rushing back Buckner caught Mrs. Hughes
and threw her out of a window and then gave
his attention to DR.. Warner, first warning the
people In the room not to interfere. Warner
was knocked down and kicked thrown
against the wall and rolled under the piano.
He was maued on the head and pummeled
on the body. His nose bled blood came from
his mouth, one eye was closed, and his cloth
ing was remarkable for the variety of rents
II displayed Finally, Buokner stood the
medium up and kicked him out OF doors down
the walk into the street.
Such is the grisly story Buckner
was arrested, charged with assault and
battery, murder, arson, mayhem, for
gerry, perjury, larceny as bailee, treason,
embezzlement or something that was
about the equivalent of all these crimes,
and brought into court, and there the
Judge dismissed him, and told Warner
that, all things considered, he thought
he got,off easily. Is there no Justice in
this conntY for those of us who com
