HARRIS THEATER.

The man who leads an open life Of
virtue and at the same time a hidden
life of crime is often disclosed in fact
and in fiction. He will reappear dra-
matically at Harris theater this week
in Sir Charles Young'S powerful and
effective play, "Jim, the Penman." In
his false pretensiOns he was benevo-
lent and beloved English gentleman,
but in reality he was the leader of a
gang of forgerS. His audaciou deceit is
highly prosperous at the opening of the
drama, but there soon appears upon the
scene a man from whom, years be-
fore. by means of his singular skill
in penmanship he had taken sweet
heart TO wed, and from whom later, by
All adroit forgery, he had secured a
large fortune. The robbed man and
the deceived wife became suspicious
that the husbands character was not
like his reputation. and, thanks to the
clever work of Capt. Redwood, de-
tective, the end is the rogue's exposure
and his apOplectic death. The COM
pany presenting this admirable piece of
dramatic Work is the original one from
the Madison Square theater, New York,
and is under the management. of
A. al. Palmer. This alone guarantees
a smooth and finished performance;
but glance at the cast only serves to
make assurance doubly sure. Joseph
Whiting plays the title role, and has re-
ceived nothing but commentator since
he attempted it. The part of Nina his
wife, is in the hands of Ellie Wilton, of
whose work the Boston Advertiser re-
Gently said: "Her rendering of the part
is not only thorough and refined and
spirited-it is more. 1t is strikingly
dramatic and almost without flaw"
The other members of the company are
all well known, and include among
others, CharlesKent, Edwin Travers aud
EVeline Hardy.

ALL ABOUT OIL.
Judge Young Listens to Argu.
ments on the Inspection Law,

Judge Young Listens to Argu.
ments on the Inspection Law.
The old. old fight between the North
western Oil company and G. w. Lane.
deputy state oil inspector. was on in the
district court yesterday. The oil COM
pany began mandamus proceedings to
compel Lane to inspect railroad tank
car of oil as one package. which he had
refused to do. The well-known eOnsti-
tutiOnal lawyer, James G. Flanders, of
Milwaukee, appeared for the oil
company. and he proceeded to
immediately tear wide open the
oil inspection law, which was fatherPd
last winter in the legislature by Free
man P. Lane. Flanders argued that the
law was contrary 10 both the state and
United States constitutions. The state
constitution provides that no law
shall embrace more than one subject,
while this law is not only police regu-
latiOn but provides tor tax. 1t is Op-
posed TO the national constitution. be-
cause this instrument declares that con-
greSs alone shall have the power to
regulate commerce between the states.
He then took up the law, section 10y
section. The pOintof bis argument was
that the law provides both for the iD-
speeticn of illuminating oils and its in
spectiOn before removal from cars to
storage tanks. As the law stands now
the cost for inspecting car tank of oil,
though done in the same manner as the
inspection of single barrel, costs about
SIS. while for a barrel the fee is only 40
cents. Mr.. Flanders commended that
this was unjust. f. P. Lane replied to
the arguments advocated by Mr.. Flan-
ders, upholding the validity of the law,
and Judge Young took the case under
adyisemeHt.

peaking of the matter, the captain

Speaking of the matter, the captain
said:
II have often faced an audience in
which have selected face or faces for
spe cial pleas, and nave known them
to resist stubbornly all my efforts to get
them TO sign total abstinence pledge.
Nearly all such have said to me, Why
don't you talk about the treating habit"
and have always been unable to an
swer. as my ultimatum was the total
abstinence pledge OF nothing. Think
ing over this matter. ii occurred to me
that it would be great help If these
men were pledged to discontinue this
foolish habit, and that it would save
many dollar to poor wives and hungry
children, as well as confine the habit Of
tipping to its minimum for harm. Then,
j reasoned, if these men are morally
courageous enough to wear q button
which denotes such pledge, L
shall get just that much nearer
to reaching them for total abstin-
ance and that much nearer to striking
the traffic Just where it lives, viz: the
money till behind the bar. Now, while
do not temp0riZe with anything short
of final elevation of the race above this
curse, am willing to accept all meas
ures that may be means to that end,
have often thought if those who look
after the spiritual welfare of the race
were to institute some intermediate
course for sinful and hayward men to
bring them under good influences, it
would be productive of much good, as
witness the Y. nj. C.. A. and kindred or
CARNATIONS. Now. this plan will work
in temperance matters, and am going
to try it. | selected the white button,
as it is neat and not Obtrusive, ana
serves to keep in the mind of the wearer
that he is pledged to forever keep clear
of the collar of the saloon power,
the button of which he wears. 1t is
white, and therefore signifies desire
to live a purer, higher life. Men who
never drank will wear it to stimulate by
their example those who do drink, and
once made popular it will take every
where. No man or set of men, or party,
or interest, other than Christian work
ers, who work for the good they can do,
shall ever put their brand on this move
ment, and that is why all sects join
heartily in helping it into existence. l
have chosen the non-partisan element
of the w. G. T. Z. to be foStermOther to
my effort, because the women who COM
pose if have remained true to the origi-
nal tenetS of the order, and can be
trusted to be true to this. Men of all
parties will be affected for good through
this movement. and therefore party bias
cannot reach it. The press will give it
cordial support, as it will in no wise be
a stepping stone to any man for p0liti-
cal help or support, and over and above
all God will bless it, as it aims to save
men from themselves and lead them to
better lives"
