II the scholar is to have his true
place in our American life he must
have his true home. 1t is too soon for
US to expect that in a world 80 new
as ours we can have those clustered
hooks which in other lands are at
once the retreat Of the student and his
reward. But surely the time has come
when we may ask ourselves whether
enough has not been spent in planting
institutions of learning, and whether
now something may not well be de-
voted to enriching them. It is easy
to see that In q land like ours, col
leges, both small and great, may each
have their place. But we have sufh-
GENTLY multiplied the outlines of in
stitutions of learning, and may we'll
begin to think about filing them up.
The want of our American people to-
day is not new institutions. nor moro
buildings, nor more free instruction.
OF all these things experience is every
day showing us there is enough and
more than enough.
But we want space and place for

universities, be free to purdue original
investigation and to give themselves to
profoundstudy, untrammeled by the
petty cares, the irksome round, the
small anxieties, which are sooner or
later the death of aspirations and ia
tai obstacles to inspiration. It is with
processes of thought as it is with pro-
cesses of nature, capitalization de-
mands, we are told, stiffness, equanam-

which are to be the seed Of forces
that shall new-create our civilization
must have q chance first of all to re-

A patient formerly confined in the
hospital for the insane in this city

up a newspaper it was noticed that he

with wonderful ease, the lunatic contin-

him still further a reel was procured
and the paper spread out and attached
to the arms, the whole then placed be-

the reel was turned the wonderful crea-

BOGUS ALASKA CURIOS.

Their Manufacture an Important Indus
try In San Francisco.
"The spread of American enterprise
and Yankee ingenuity is nowhere seen
to better advantage than among the
guileless natives of Alaska" said Cap
tain Anderson, Of the Bertha, to re-
porter of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The captain thereupon proceeded to
throw new light upon the results of the
fad of relic-hunting pursued by Alaskan
excursionists.
THE captains of the excursion
steamers are pestered by the passengers
for information as to the best place to
procure relics" said he. 1.-THE arrival of
excursionists creates as much of stir
among the natives as a steamer day did
in San Francisco in the COS. They are the
legitimate prey of the children of Alaska.
Years ago it was possible to get real
relics at moderate price, but now it is
hard to tell the difference between real
and false relics.
Some time ago some ingenious ma
tives used to take half-dollars, hammer
them out very thin, and manufacture
them into bracelets. These curios were
sold for s1.5O or So at the most When
steamer-loads Of tourists commenced go
ing to Alaska in the summer they
bought up the bracelets as fast as they
were made. The native Alaskan is a
very speedy individual He saw fortunes
in store for him. The bracelets could
not be made fast enough to supply the
demand, and he formed sort of syndi-
cate with his brothers. This syndicate
sent to San Fran cisco and had hundreds
of these bracelets manufactured here and
reshipped to Alaska. There they were
and are still retailed to the guileless
at So or 50 pair. The same
may be said of native idols, straw
hats, bottle covers, and bows and ar
rows. More than half Of them are made
in this and other coast cities and then
sent to Alaska for sale. The natives
know when they are talking to an ex-
pert, and they do not try to palm of
spurious articles on him. But the green
excursionist is their ready victim. They
will sell him straw hat made of spruce
roots for SIS or Sc which they ordinarily
sell for so cents. Imported war suits
decked with feathers and beads are dis
posed of at from SIS to SIS each.
IF the studious collectors of Alaskan
curios. only knew the history of half
their materials they would become very
sad. The native Alaskan is victim OF
civilization. He has learned from his
white brother how to lie, and he knows
how to seize an opportunity"

"Good Old Times" new play written by
Wilson Barrett and Hall Caine, which held the
boards at Albaugh's Grand Opera House last
week, carries one back seven or eight years to
the time when the picturesque melodrama was
rampant throughout the country. 1t is strik-
ingly after the style of "Lights o. London" and
"Romany Rye" without infringing in any wise
upon the story of either, and is calculated to
stir the emotions of the susceptible to high
degree of excitement over diabolical wrongs
and noble sacrifices. In addition to an excep-
tonally strong cast of actors and actresses the
management has supplied some beautiful see
merry and novel stage mechansms which assist
materially the realism of the performance. Mr.
Atkins Lawrence, who does what might be
called the leading male part in John p Lang
ley gave his role decidedly heroic treatment
which the exigences of the situations probably
demanded, while Mr.. John Glendinning as
Crosby Granger, the villain, accomplished better
success under homeopathic treatment of his
part. Miss Eleanor Carey, who does the role Of
Mary Langley, reminds one of Miss Cora Tan
ner both in form and style of acting, although
it might be said of the former that she shows
more artistic finish. At any rate, the emotion
is applied in broad washes and apparently with
the desired effect. The other members of the
cast were far above the average.

Another minstrel show was interpolated into
the regular season at the National Theatre last
week. 1t was under the management of those
veterans of minstrelsy, Messrs. Primrose and
West, and, while scarcely up to the standard Of
other companies which have been here this sea-
son, succeeded in satisfactorily entertaining
large audiences at every performance. The
singing of Messrs. Oakland, Davis, Garland,
and Natus was excellent the last-named gen.
teman possessing most exceptionally besuti-
full voice. The principal part Of the fun was
made by Messrs. Primrose, Dockstader, Janson,
Powers, and Queen, whose regulations for
merry-making suffered not in the least by their
mirth-provoking antics last week. Cain and
Loreno did some very clever and grotesqus
aerial tumbling, which, together with some
beautiful marching and number of amusing
pantomimic specalties, constituted the features
of the second part Of the programme. The
names of Primrose and West are Synonymous
with the beautiful in the terpsichorean art, and
it was regretted that they had failed to embody
in their programme feature which would
remind one of their well-known accomplish
ments in that line.
