An En- joyable Night.

One of the brightest performances
ever witnessed, says Guy Pemberton in
the Ecening Sun, is that delightful,
whimsical, natural play, "She Couldn't
Marry Three" 1t is homelike, the
story most probable and interesting,
causing tears of sympathy or hearty
laughter. Unconsciously y you are in
terested in Miss Kennedy's portrayal of
BesS. You laugh and cry with her as
she fits like beam of light through
each act Of the play. She laughs, cries
sings, dances; she's hoyden, trusting
little fisher maiden, and no matter what
she does she carries you along with her
an unresisting worshipper at her shrine.
What sturdy, massive, picturesque
figure Mr.. Sullivan is in the character of
DaCte, the rough fisherman and heroic
lover; his quiet intensity suggest the
strength of the ocean. And laugh with
reminiscent pleasure as l recall that
delightful, verdant, uproarious, foolish
Bob Backus as played by Mr.. Kennedy
| surrendered at once; I'm laughing yet
and advise those who deplore the fact
that we have so few good plays, go see
'She Couldn't Marry Three" and be
happy,

The World has shown that the Demo.

dent by carrying the Southern States,

ssey-the three votes lacking in this com.
blnation being already secured, with one
or two to spare, by the district system Of
election in Michigan.
How can the Republican beat this
combination? They must hold all the
other States and carry either New York
or lndiana-New Jersey being safely
Democratic. Can they do this? 1t is
not. within the bounds of reasonable
probability to say, in view of the voting
last year and this, that the Democrats
are at least as likely to carry Iowa and
Montana as the Republicans are to carry
Indiana? These two States have sixteer

FREELAND, DECEMBER 10, 1891.

A DESPATCH from that wonderful
city of the West, Chicago, announces
that Judge Collins has beaten all
previous records in granting divorces.
He took testimony and decided
twenty-six cases Of martial woe in two
hours and twenty minutes, an average
Of about one every five minutes. This
is certainly quick work, but whether
it is creditable to possess such Judges
or laws that give Judges such I'm
limited power is another question.
The feeling among many religious
denominations is that the laws re-
gulating divorces should be more
rigid. In some places, Chicago for
instance, marriages are annulled upon
the most trivial pletexts.

The regular quarterly sensational
divorce suit, which English aristocracy
furnishes just as promptly as if the
law made it compulsory, has ended in
the British Courts. This time it was
Lord Russell and wife who demon
strated to the world the rottenness
and corruption existing among the
nobility in that country. Charges
and counter charges of the most re-
voting nature We're made and acknowl-
edged by these high. flyers without
any regard to decency. Society was
not the least surprised at the revela-
tons given by the witnesses. Its
devotees are well aware of one anothers
doings, and spend their leisure time
specializing who will be the next pair
OF miserable mates to air their perfdy
In public. This is the "high sassity"
whose customs, dress and manners
are initiated by a small cotorie of
monkey-like Americans.

A FEW weak -kneed Democrats in
some parts of the country give it as
their opinion that it would be good
politics to let the Mckinley bill alone
at this session of Congress. 1t is
gratifying to notice that the number
of such believers is insignificant, so
small that their voices are drowned
in the national call for reduction of
war taxes. Whether the Democrats
bring forth a general bill to take the
place of the one now in force or
whether they will inauguarate an
attack in detail is the question that
Democracy is studying. There must
be no back sliding from their advan-
ced position, but it is well to consider
which plan will likely accomplish the
best results. Those who do not wish
to keep up the procession have all the
opportunity they could desire to get
out OF the ranks and fall in line behind
the highbinders that constitute the

The true American doctrine is equal
opportunities for all men. No sub
sides for special classes. Until this
principle is thoroughly understood
and firmly established, the tariff issue
will never down and never be crowd
ed to a second place in the politics of
the nation. The duty of Democrats
in Congress is plain, and that is to al.
low no detractions Of the minds of the
people from this one great issue. 1t
must be the great dividing principle
between the Democratic and Republi-
can parties. Upon that the Demo
cratic position is advanced and ag.
gressive. The Republican position is
defensive and apologetic. Upon that
issue Democrats have demonstrated
they can sweep the country, and by
forcing the fight they can regain COM
plete control of the government.

The editor of the New York Mail
and EGpreSs, Colonel" Shepard,
says: "No Catholic can be true,
patriotic citizen. Every Roman Catho-
lie must in political as well as in other
questions obey the DEGREES and in
structions of the Church of Rome.
No Roman Catholic is free man, and
Americans are free men," When the
civil war ragged, and when thousands
of Catholics were shedding their blood
and contributing their money to the
country, such bigots as this were
subdued into silence and decency.
But they now feel perfectly safe in
venting their pent-up venom. The
police of New York are just now busily
employed in running down dynamite
singers and other dangerous cranks.
They should keep a wary eye upon

1t is seldom that the setting of stage
is as appropriate as that in the play of
the above name. The snow and ice
We're so real as to send "cold wave"
through the packed auditorium. The
play, tale Of Alaska, was presented in
very satisfactory manner. In the
fourth act the ice bound ship the snow
and ice, the EsquimauX dogs, the bear
and reindeer formed one Of the hand
soonest pictures seen on the opera house
stage for long time. The play is SEN
sational drama, tale of love, devotion
and hardships in the far north with the
usual happy termination of villain
foiled and hero rewarded. The piece
was written especially for Hettie Ber-
nard Chase, and is particularly adapted
to her style, giving her ample opportuni-
ty to display her many graces of person
and manner. Her acting is natural and
full of life and it is a pleasure Just to see
her handsome, smiling face. The differ.
ent members Of the company are well
adapted to their parts and present the
play in a most satisfactory manner. The
special features are very pleasing.-Bur-
