PRESIDENT ADAMS HOPEFUL.
He says the Interstate Commerce Law
May Yet DO Good.

NEW YORK. May S.-The senate COM
nlttee which Is investigating the work
ings IF the Interstate Commerce law.
ana the matter Of the Canadian roads
doing business in and with this cOun-
Try, resumed It's labors promptly at 10
o'clock thls morning IN the Flfth-ave.
Hotel senator HlscocS was the only
member OF the committee absent.
President James J. Hill, of the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad
was present 20 tell what he knew about
railroads, and his own IN particular, but
the first witness called by Chairman
Cull0m was President Charles Francis
Adams, OF the Union Pacific road.
NJ. Adams thought the Interstate
Commerce law IN many cases cruel
one, those who ooeyed it lost by It's
operation, and those who evaded it
proiited. Il should ike, however. 10
see u universally ObeYed and gwen a
far tr,1l. be said, ''and since January
really believe that the law has been
better 0beyed than ever before. Pub
hclty = = good remedy for many OF the
evils which We are seeking % mitigate.
and the greatest service the Interstate
Commissioners could do the railroads
IN general would be to prosecute some
OF the offenders"
Mr.. Adams thought that A common
railroad law between Canada and the
United states and a legahzed uool
would be a good thing. and would tend
- BRING about a solution Of the present
troubles IN reference 70 Canadian

The Bennett and Moulton Company
drew the largest and most enthusiastic
| audience of the week at Redmond ;
last evening when they gave Erminie
under the title of Robert Macaire. The
| company was well at ease IN this tune
| tut and pleasing opera, and the pOpu-
| lar and beautiful songs were given
! with correctness and precision. The
| combined numbers, or rather the
| chorus, was spirited and strong. Miss
| Chapman excelled a. Rosamonn, and
sang when Love IS Young with de-
hghtfuI enunciation and charming
grace of manner. She was also admir-
able IN the famous lullaby selection
MesSrs. Miller and Lodge, as the two
thieves, did considerable labor in n
gymnastic wey, hut the latter would be
more effective and amusing If he could
relieve himself of the apparent consci-
entlOusness that he believes he Is funny
himself. Lodge has ability and un-
doubted talent but he should AVOID
buiiOonery and coniine his work
10 the straight comedy, though
i'm the character OF last night
he Is not alone guilty of Ovcracting it,
Miss Sweeney and Miss Madigan were
more than acceptable. Mr.. Cutter was
recalled IN his solo IN the second act.
though he sang selection not Kin the
opera. 1t Is as "A whole that this com
pany excels, and IN this respect il is the
best that has appeared at this theatre
this season. This should be an induce
ment to the patrons to give them better
support, for they VIII find an mnova-
ton N the fact that they viii not behn-
nOyed by bad chorus singers. Ermlnie
Was richly costumed, and the group
lngs and assemblage of the full force
of the company on the stage gave Oc-
casiOn for bright and attractive PIE
tures. Ermlne VIII be repeated this
afternoon. Tonight The Merry

The Bennett n Moulton Opera Com
pany repeated the Chimes at Red
mond' 5 yesterday afternoon before
meagre attendance. This company ex-
GELS where most opera companies are
weak-that i. IN the ensemble singing.
No company that has appeared at Red
mOnd' : tnis season was equal 10 them
IN this respect. The regular patrons of
this theatre VIII surely be pleased il
they attend the performances this
week.
The Bennett & Moulton company an
nOunce the following change IN Their
repertoire. Considering the popular
manner IN which "Erminie" was re-
ceived last evening, It will be put on
again Friday evening IN place of "Fra

DiV0rces in the United States.

It is not just to conclude, as an
 eminent ecclesiast has recently
 done, that this country is ''going to
 seed" because divorce is more prev
 alent here than in some other lands
 The morality, the home happiness,
 the education and care of children,
 and all the virtues and other bene-
 ncent results that flow from the conjugal relation as enjoined by re-
 ligion and established by Jaw, are
 more fully exemplifed in the Amer ican States wherein divorce is per
 mitted for several reasons, than in most of the countries where It is forbidden. A tree is known by it's fruits, and a custom should be jud- ged by its general results, not by theoretical objections nor excep- tional abuses. In the statistics of divorce for the past twenty years, just published by the Commissioner of Labor, 1t appears that 6 per cent of the whole were granted to wives for descrtion, cruelty and drunkenness, with unfaithfuIness constituting only about : per cent of the whole number. IL is surely at least a fair question for discus sion whether the welfare of society or the sacred institution of home requires that wives having such grounds of complaint should be bound forever in iron chains to i those who have forfeited their right l to the sacred and protective title of husband. Merely frivolous req sons for divorce, or those based on ickle selfshness, should not be al i
 owed anywhere. But the public sentiment which sustains more than one cause of divorce in some of our most enlightened commonwcalths
 is not to be lightly condemned as i corrupt or rretrogressive.-New York Y orld

 oy the constant blue-gum steam
 By giving the vapor of the oil with

 ton ot the first and the beneficial
 effect of the second. The patient IS kept under a tent-ike covering Tn a warm, moist atmosp here, containing a volatile oil obtained by placing leaves of the eucalyptus Tn jug of boiling water. The pa- tent remains in this atmosphere so long as there is any infamma- ton of the throat.
