Minnie L. Armstrong, a lady well known
in the newspaper field has produced a
work on '"The Modern Evil' which is Ii
able to cause a greater furore than the
KruetZer Sonata or any other work OF a
like nature. The author endeayors TO
show the evils of the modern system
of social relations between the sexes
and advocates an universal law
of Divorce and free and easy divorce at
| that. She does not think it necessary in
order to find perfect happiness in this
world, that two loving hearts must appear
! before a skirted minister or drunken jus
| tice to bind them together till death doth
| them part, but rather that the love which
exists between them is a tie strong enough
! to bind, whatever trials or tribulatiOns may
| beset them and when that love has lost its
power to bind it is better for the unhappy
couple to part and be separated.
The author makes her hero utter some
very startling truths as for example "can
YOU tell me what difference there is for a
| woman to sell herselftO man for the clothes
| she may wear, or the food she may eat,
with or without the marriage ceremony?
| ! verify believe that in the eyes of heaven
I the one who has perjured her soul by stand
| ing before the altar and taken upon herself
those sacred vows before God, commits the
greater sin"
| Whilst the usages and traditions of soci-
ETY. as it is may not agree with this and
other sentiments of like character still
within the thinkers mind there must be q
doubt as to whether with all our boosted

the happiness Of the great majority. 1t is

LMcoLN's LIFE DRAMATIzED

Incidents of His Life Taken From
The Files of The Herald and Made
into Play.
Messrs. Mckee Rankin and Archie
dordin, looking around fora subject
Tor play a few months ago, hit up
on the idea of gathering together the
sensational incidents of Abraham
Lincoln's life and dramatizing them.
They could think of no other Ameri-
can who would prove so good a sub
ject, and the possibilities which they
saw in play written around his life
kept growing as the work progressed.
The play is now finished and arrange
ments have already been made for it's
presentation in the West early in the
fall The action of the play opens
January /, 1868, and closes with the
death OF John Wilkes Booth after he
had assassinated the President.
Speaking about the play the other
day Mr.. Gordon said that the Incl
dents in Lincoln's life which were used
were furnished by Arnold's History
of Lincoln" Mr.. John Hays book,
and most of all from the files of the
Herald
eve are indebted to the Herald
most of all for our Incidents" said
Mr.. Gordon, "and Mr.. Rankin and
myself found it a perfect photograph
of the time in which Lincoln was at
the head of the government"
An effort is madein the play to show
Lincoln in his duality as President of
the United States and the head of the
White House family.
The play is in five acts, the first end
ing with the signing of the document
of emancipation, the second with the
conspiracy of John Wilkes Booth to
abduct the President, the third with
the failure of the plot, the fourth with
the assassination of Lincoln and the
fifth with Booths deathin the blazing
barn.
The characters shown, besides Presi-
lent Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth,
ire Messrs. Seward, Stanton, Chase,
Montgomery, Blair and Gideon Wells:
Mrs. Surratt, who was hung; Miss
Surratt, John Surratt, Ella Turner
and Mrs Lincoln.
The principal scene will be the as
sassination, and this will be worked
as realistically as possible. There are
twenty-seven speaking characters in
all in the play, and it is proposed to
have a force of supernumeraries Of
over two hundred. One point to be
aimed at in the play will be to show
the various celebrated people connect
ed with President Lincolns admins
tration as they really were and not
make the characters mere dummies.
1t is quite possible that the play will
be seen in this city beforet the holidays.
Negotiations are now pending with
several we'll known actors, and the
managers of the play mean to give it q
frst-class production. Mr.. E. J. Hen
ley will probably be engaged to play
the part of John Wilkes Booth. 1t
has not been decided yet who will play
the part OF the martyr President.

THE CAPTIVE'S FLIGHT.
The Latest Illusion Shown at the
Egyptian Hall, London.

The Latest Illusion Shown at the
Egyptian Hall, London.
A charming and astonishing illusion
is now delighting the Londoners at
the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. 1t is
the invention of NJ. Buatier de Kolta,
one Of the most accomplished of living
conjurers. He produces, and hands
around, for the inspection of the au-
dience, o shallow, square wooden tray.
This is placed upon the stage, and on
it the conjurer puts a large cage. Then
there steps upon the stage g graceful
young lady, who creeps into the cage
and kneels there. Next the cage and
it's occupant are covered with a
large silken cloth. Ascend later NJ.
de Kolta whisks off the cover, which
instantly disappears into space, and
it is seen that the cage and the young
lady have also miraculously vanished.
The remarkable trick is obviously
another modification Of the same CON
iurer's well-known vanishing lady"

lessor Hermann says in the current
number OF the North American Re-
view:

one particular illusion as the most

lady, invented BY Buatier de Kolta.
The effect of the TRICK upon the spec
tator, the first time he seesit, is moth

er brings forward q lady to the front
of the stage, seats her upon chair
in full view of the spectators, spreads
over her a piece of filmy silk, SO gauzy
that the outlines of her figure may be
discerned through it, and while she is
in this position he Whisks off the silk.

to say that the elaborate mechanical

AN AWKWARD HABIT.
A Distinguished Peer Makes Bad
Break.

A distinguished Peer Makes BAD
Break.
The habit of thinking aloud was q
popularity OF one of the Earls OF
Dudley, and OF this an amusing anec-
dote is told.
Lord Dudley being invited to the
house of a friend, had ordered his
carriage at an early hour, having
some miles to travel before be could
obtain his accustomed pepose. To his
great modification, after repeated
inquiries for Lord Dudley's carriage,
it had not arrived.
One OF the guests, seeing how much
his lordship was disconnected by the
event, very politely offered him a seat
in his The gentlemen i'll question had
to pass his lordship's house on his
return home, and though he was
almost q stranger to Lord Dudley,
his rank and position in the country
we're of course we'll known to him.
Nevertheless, they had not been seated
in the carriage more than twenty
minutes when the peer, who had up
to that moment maintained most
perfect silence, observed in a low, but
distinctly audible, tone Ct voice:
"Im very sorry l accepted ms @ fer.
I don't know the man. 1t was civil,
certainly; but the worst is l suppose l
must ask him to dinner"
He then relapsed into his former
state of taciturnity, when, after afew
minutes, the gentleman, pretending to
be afflicted with the same failing, and
initiating his lordship's tone, ohserV-
ed
'Perhaps hell think I didit to r9ake
his acquaintance. Why, would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. hope he won't think it neces-
sary to ask me to dinner, for sham
accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley listened to him with
earnest interest, Immediately compre-
hended the joke which he himself had
provoked, offered his hand with much
hearty good will to his companion,
making every proper apology for his
involuntary rudeness, and from that
night the travellers became inseparable

JAPANESE ORATORS.
Their Methods OF Speaking In Pub
IlO.

Their Methods OF Speaking In Pub
IIo.
Of the speakers it must be said, in
general that the Japanese are born
takers, but seldom rise to what we
call oratory. OF the means by which
We obtain variety of expression they
employ little outside of emphasis. In
lection is treated conventionally, and
on theory totally different from ours.
Time is made little of as means OF
emphasis or otherwise. Even If it
were not so, the order of thought In a
Japanese sentence would require pc
culiar arrangement of rhythm and
pauses. Gesture is almost wholly
lacking. A certain formal or cere-
moniOus bearing, natural to a native
of this land of good breeding, gives the
speaker a good presence.
But late years have changed the
normal type, and in most speakers one
sees the adoption of a number of
Western ways. The old rule, for in
stance and it has only partly passed
away, was q strict one that the
audience should rise and respond in
kind to the speakers bow at the be-
ginning and at the end of his address.

perience of this custom at an informal
talk on American elections to a room

unity which startled me and made me

National Assembly, one sees very
little of this custom, Ingestures, too,
we discern a marked difference between
men of Western education like Mr..
Suyematsu, and native-bred speak
ars like Mr.. Arai. In one sense, to be
sure, it is hardly correct to write of a
change from the normal type OF
public speaking. Until the seventies
cnere had in fact been little public
speaking-other than the Buddhist
sermons-in our sense of the term
mean monologues upon q stated
subject. Mr.. Fukuzawa, as famous an
educator as he is editor, is said to
have been the originator OF public
lectures, and from his example dates
the real history OF public addresses in
Japan. 1t is the old cannons OF ex,

Inland Lakes.

1t is not generally realized that the
are in this country literally millions OF
lakes which are available for water
farming; in size all the way from
mere ponds to the great inland seas
of fresh water. In Illinois alone there
are tens of thousands of lakes, and
hundreds of thousands more can be
readily created.
There are in Illinois many extinct
lakes, which can easily be transformed
into sheets of water by the simplest
means. All the enormous "Lake
Plan," as it is known to biologists,
comprising Wisconsin, Minnesota, and
Michigan, north of the Ohio River, is
dotted with countless sheets of water,
conditions being favorable for creating
many more by such inexpensive
articles as the damming of streams,
By damming at intervals, every
creek and rivulet can be made to form
artificial lakes. Even the vast arid
region, the, "Great Desert" of the
West, is specked all over with null
titHdes of extinct lakes which can be
filled once more and made to teen
with life, as they once did.

The time was when a knowledge of
thegospeI and zeal for saving souls
was the only qualifications consider

Now it isfound that his usefulness
as a civilizing medium depends quite as
