Barrett as a Playwright in the
Drama of "Nowadays."
Production of The Gondoliers at the Tivoli
The Irish Arab" at the Alcazar-Busi-
ness at the Other Theaters.

The production Of Nowadays" Mr.. Wilson
Barrett's play, is timely. 1t is a horsey piece
throughout, and Is therefore seasonable because
the telegraphic reports Of the Derby are being
published at date. 1t deals with the EPSON race
course and the gains and losses that usually ac-
company that great sporting epoch In "Merrle
England" There is some fine character
acting In the drama, and the principal
PRESERVATION Is that Of John Saxton,
by Mr.. Wilson Barrett, a hard headed York
shireman-a sort Of Sir Tatton Sykes.whose
interest is about equally divided between his
children and his horses. Barrett made strong
character OF Saxt0n, and although he came to
grief In the matter OF his son Tom and his mine,
by which he was reduced from affiuence 10 pow
erty, he still maintained the sturdy English ma
ture, which refused to be victimized by the
turfmen and Welshers, who sought to borrow his
"brass," as money is cOoqually called. Tom, his
son (Mr. Murray CARSON. incurs his displeasure,
because, being in love with Amy Harper, daugh-
ter OF Gabriel, loser on the turf, he lends the
father OF his love the money to recoup his losses,
which his own father Lad refused him. He is
banished from his home on account Of this; but
afterward Is relnstated in the affections OF the
old man, when he Is poor; and the reinstatement
Is most affecting scene. Then comes another
episode the stealing of the racer "Thun-
derbolt." owned by Harper, on which
the fortunes OF the race depend. Tom Is accused
OF stealing the animal ana gets into all SORTS OF
trouble, but finally manages to get hold Of the
horse and makes all things even. This is about
the pith OF The play, excepting the love interest
that runs through it, Involving Tom and Amy.
Sir Harry Croydon (Nlr. Cooper Clife), black.

tween the faIe OF the horse, Thunderbolt. ana

A great conference Of sabbatsrians
has been called to meet at Chicago
next month for the purpose of bring

to the public on Sundays. Apart
from the hurtful prematurity of thus
springing a question of administrative
detail upon the commissioners three
years in advance of the possible open.
ing Ct the fair, the movement is an
effort of intolerance to force the opin.
ions of part of the community upon
an enterprise that belongs to the
whole community. In this free coun-
try questions of religions Observance
belong exclusively to individual con-
science and religious organiza-
tions. The state and the public, as
such, have nothing to do with
them. The just rule with respect to
such observance, in connection with a
public enterprise like this worlds fair,
is to leave every man to determine
his course for himself. Under this
rule those who feel that it is wrong to
visit the fair on Sunday should re-
main away; those whose conscience
impose no such restrictions upon them
will attend. There is no mere Justice
in compelling the one class to stay
away than in compelling the other to
go. And there would be the grayest
injustice in closing the fair on Sum-
days, because there are many thous-
ands who can visit it on no other day
and whose right to visit it is just as
good as that of anybody else. The
ernment is that no fi&iafG "a free gov:
shall give law to any.other man.

Wichita, Kan, September 10. -
A drama with exciting situations, and
which promises to have more than
one act, opened in justice cour, here
to-day, with the issue of warrant for
W. A. Bell, young business map,
on charge of seduction preferre1 by
,i,o pan vnls VI pre,Iy Alice rulItzer.
Bell appeared in answer to- the war
rant, and was confronted IN the court
room by an angry father,
a weeping mother and a hys-
serical daughter, whose condition is
such that longer cOncealmant was an
impossibility. No sooner did the
fathers eyes light upon the betrayer
of his daughter than he rushed at him
with uplifted stick. with which he
struck him one blow, when he was
caught by bystanders. Finally all
parties quieted down, and after a
short consultation it was agreed to
withdraw the charge after the per.
Torrance of a marriage ceremony,
which was duly consummated.
Hardly had Mr.. and Mrs. Bell
left the court room, when another
girl entered and asked if Bell had been
married. She had heard of the arrest
and result, and had been to the Pro-
bate Office to stop the tissue of marri-
age license, but was too late. The
girl refused to give her name, but said
she had charge to prefer against the
new bridegroom similar to the one
ust settled. 1t will be more serious
because ofthe girls tender age.

Don Boncicaulr, the celebrated
author and actor, who died few DAYS
aen IN Nv i OrK, was another exam
pie of careless disregard of warnings.
His physicians had time and again
tried to impress upon him the abso-
lutte necessity for rest and retirement
for at least a time from his ardious
hbors, but fired with that ambition
which somehow appears to be impreg,
mated in the very atmosphere of this
country, he kept on and his span of
life has probably been shortened by
several years. Getting out of the
harness is the recognition of physical,
if not mental weakness, possibly, but
it is indeed much better to be ga live
dog than dead lion.

THE JUDGES DECISION.


Judge Query rendered a decision
on Tuesday last which does away with
the county court OF Early county as
1t now exists. The decision was bas-
ed upon a recent ruling OF the Su.
preme Court touching The stock law
IN Dougherty county. This rulin-
was in effect that all special acts pass,
ed by the legislature where a general
law to the same elect is in existence,
are unconstitutional. There being d
general law providing for the estab,
lisbment of county courts in Geor.
gia, Judge Cherry ruled that the act
establishing the county court Of Ear,
ly country is Unconstitutional and
dismissed an appeal from the county
court on this ground.
