MansneId,s Sweetheart.

A former member Of Richard Mans6eld's
dramatic company has brought suit against
HIM Tor breach Of contract. Mansfeld's de-
tense IS that the actor cannot get drunk like
gentleman that is. the plaintiff was engaged
TO play the part OF an English lord who gets
intoxicated and he portrayed the character
rs a bowling tough, much to the disgust
OF Mansfield, who insisted that as the
noOleman was gentleman according
to the text Of the play it was not artistic to
make him appear otherwise than as gentle
manly drunk. Ii IS pretty case az il stands.
and the court will have great many points
to consider before it render decision. There
are some gentlemen who are exceedingly
courteous. genial and polished when
under the influence of liquor and there
are others that are transformed by
wine or whisky into very hard citizens.
but II Is safe 10 say that man who is agentle-
man BY nature and instinct is always the gen
tieman whether drunk or sober There are
great many very clever motors on the stage to-
day. however, who are by no means gentle
men in private life. and if Manshelds man
belongs to this class, Ii is no wonder that he
failed 70 probably impsrsonase the role for
which he vas cast.

Although it seems that the press
generally is to some extent denoun-
cling Rev Sam Jones. Some papers
more than others, but we have never
expressed our views in the matter
and in this matter we have this to
say that while cur paper is purely
non-sectarian yet it is in no wise
antagonistic to any creed reeogniz-
ed by the christian world. Sam
Jones is a minister of God. His
work is right, his heart is right,
his mind is right, then what mat
ters it if he does use a few recless
words. The result of his words
and his work has been wonderful,
and you cant deny it. Now here
is our basis if we don't like to
hear certain man preach and you
do; we stay away and attend to our
business and let you go and hear
him preach. Now there are just
lots of people like to hear Sam
Jones preach then let them go hear
him. He is doing good work, it Is
a work that the press unless it can
support him ought not tamper with
Just let the good work go on.

The high tone elements of En-
gland are crying loud against the
actions Of the Prince of Wales be-
cause of his com ections with the
Baccarat Scandal. 1t seems that
he is being condemned pretty gen.
orally. We wonder how many CT
the big bloods OF England are now
condemning the Prince and in day
light crying against him, and in
courts denounce him, and yet have
played a many game with the Prince
and even now would slip off with
him and indulge in game with
him were they rot afraid of the
public eye. This is all wrong,
wrong from beginning to end. The
whole thing is an evil, it is an evil
within itself and an evil because it
leads to greater evils etc. But
while they are active in denoun-
cling the Prince there are other
high bloods as deep in the mud
as he is in the mire. The Prince
played at games, he certainly had
accomplices. TIen why abuse the
prince alone. But it not unfre-
quently happens that in cases. of
this kind one get; all the censure
though the other may be deeper
in the crime, may be more guilty,
and their actions both before and
after may openly show more evil
intent and bespeaks blacker heart
and the public may know of these
things yet the ole man receives
all the blame, condemnation etc,
while the others not only go free
but even are the loudest in con-
demning and de1ouncing. They
and others think it is proper to
condemn the condemned. The
prince has done wrong but he has
plenty of associates who should
help him bear the burdens.
