LONDON, Aug. 2i-There was another
stormy debate in the commons last night

accused Balfour Of improper administration
of the prisons. Balfour referring to the
fact that Conybesre had contracted skin

occupied the cell before Cony beare had not
suffered from any disease. He had caused
the prisons TO be examined and no trace of
disease had been found Blaine an Irish
member, told of his own experience in
an Irish prison, and said the prisons

That TIE LEADER should have fought
Judge Bergman in a political way was
only to bee expected under the circum-
stances. He was a leading representative
of the Republican party and to his efforts
were very often due the success with
which the party met. Considering these
circumstances we are somewhat surprised
at the manner in which Judge Bergman
is criticized by the Sun. Simply because
of his recent move regarding the city
treasurcrship, he is not treated with even
the ordinary courtesy which any citizen of
the territory has a right to demand. 1t
is possible that the Sun and a few of the
leaders OF the Republican party have de-
cided to cast Judge Bergman aside, but
there is such a thing as maintaining the
proprieties even in a case of this kind.

INO. r. CARROLL. Editor.

BooTH and Barrett open their Denver
engagement on Monday with an advance
sale of seates amounting to over eight
thousand dollars. The recent illness of
Booth and the generally circulated &C
counts of his failing health gives weight
to the supposition that the present sea-
son of the great actor may be his last.
Booth Is 81 years old. He has been on
the stage for forty years. His first APP
pearancc was made at the Boston Mu-
scum as ''Tressel' in Richard III, Sept
10, 1919, and on May -, 1850, he ap
peared at the Arch street theater, Phila
delphia, as HWilford,' in the Iron Chest.
In 1850 he distinguished himself by play
ing Richard III at the Chatham theator,
New York, in the place of his father.
His first Independent appearance. how
ever, was made on May 4, 1857, as Rich
ard III at the Winter Garden theater.
Ia 1851 he drifted to California and
thence to Australia and the SandAich
Islands in 1854. In 1857 he returned to
New York. 1t wa not until his farewell
engagement at the Winter Garden that
he made a profound impression. In 1861
Mr., Booth married and made a bridal
tour TO England, where he appeared as
~''Shylock" at one of the London theaters.
After the death of his wife in 1862, he
went into retirement, not appearing
on the stage until Nov. %,
1868, when he made a decided
hit as Hamlet" at the Winter Garden
theater. In 1865 Mr.. Booth opened the
theater at the corner of Twenty. third
street and Sixth avenue, New York,
which bore his name. This magnificent
playhouse cost nearly a halt million, and
was opened by MIR. Booth in Romeo and
Juliet After struggling with this theater
for five years, Mr.. Booth sank a large for.
tune in the enterprise and withdrew from
the position. In 1850 he appeared at the
Princess theater, London, playing in op-
posite roles to Henry Irving. He has
since hat time created n decided furore
in Germany.
Lawrence Barrett is four years ounge
than Mr.. Booth. He commenced life as
a salesman at Detroit, Mich, but having
had a strong penchant for the stage he
soon abandoned mercantile pursuits and
became an actor. He is extremely YER
satilc and besides enjoying success az an
actor in the most exacting roles has n repu
tation for scholarly and careful literary
work.
The Booth Barrett combination has
been the most successful from an artistic
and financial standpoint of any undertake
ing in the history of the drama,

TIE result of the recent election III
Massachusetts upon the adoption of Q
prohibition amendment to the constitu-
tiOn is peculiarly significant. The people
of the New England states have had an
extended experience with restrictive legis-
lation, and the present vote which defeats
prohibition by a majority of 10000 indi.
Gates clearly that prohibition is not the
remedy which cures the evils of intern
pe-ance.
The defeat of the amendment IN Mass
chusetts presaGes disaster to the prohibi.
t~ionists in Pennsylvania. An election
will be held In the latter state on june
18th, pon the adoption of an amend
ment similar to the one voted upon in
Massachusetts. Political prophets now
predict its defeat by $1,000 majority.
