UNRECOGNIZED GENIUS.
sLUGGER SULLIVAN STRANDED IN

The Antipodeans Unappreciative of His
Histrionic Ability : They Expected
Real Acting-The Company Waiting
for Remittances from America.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 2.-Australian
papers, per the steamship Monowai,
which arrived late last night from Sgd
ney, concur in stating that John L. Sui
livan's theatrical tour of the colonies
has been failure. Before the Mono
wal left Sydney it was understood that
the company was to take return passage
on that vessel to America, but later it
was learned that the actors were strand
ed, and were awaiting remittances from
this country. The Sydney Times, in its
criticism, says:
"The fact that John L. Sullivan had
accepted his failure in Melbourne as
badly as he did the fiasco which at
tended his endeavors to act in Sydney,
does not surprise me. He is new to the
stage and does not quite grasp the
fact that an actor is supposed to speak
his language and not hurl ungrammati-
cal impromptu speeches at the heads OF
his audience who do not happen to have
been educated down to his standard OF
histrionic Importance. John L. Sulli-
van may be very good man in his own
line, but he cannot act and the audience
knows it and let's him know it too, and
be does not like it,"
The article concludes by advising the
company to return to America.

In the matter of the proposed coali-
ton of the Pacific Churchman with the
Los Angeles Churchman, the committee
reported that they did not consider it
wise or expedient to try to do it, as the

DIR. Haskins. They recommended that
it be referred to him, which was car
ried.

Kip were conveyed to the meeting, and
a suitable answer prepared for the aged

streets, where the service of benediction
was held by Bishop Nichols, attended
by all the clergy. Prayers and psalms
were said in the parlor. the refectory,

bishop made an address, basing his re-
marks on Psalms Kill, and 2. He
referred to the generosity Of the bene-
factors of the institution, how their acts
of devotion would one day make for
them an easier bed CT pain and sickness
as they thought of the good they had
done. He spoke of the satisfaction it
must give Sister Mary to see the new
and elegant quarters to which the hos
pital had been removed.

Jewish Persecution Only a Part of a

LONDON, Oct. 2. - Poultney Bigelow
of the New York Canoe club, who has
been making long canoe trip in South
ern Europe, returned to this city after
three months absence. In an inter
view Bigelow says: 1.-The situation OF
affairs in Russia, so far as the anti
foreign crusade Isl concerned, is more
serious than reported. The anti
Jewish crusade is only a small
part of the general movement against
foreigners in Russia. The Jews are
perhaps the lightest sufferers. Ger
mans and Poles and all non-members of
the Russian church are prosecuted.
These people have money invested in
land, factories, etc., and are harrassed
to degree which renders business i'm
possible. There are 10000 Russian
soldiers on the Roumanian frontier, and
the general result of the observations
I made and of the conversations / had
with public and military officials, con-
firms me in the belief that Russia is not
only prepared for but anxious for an OPP
portunity of declaring war.

A Continuance OF One Week Granted in
His COntempt Case.


A Continuance OF One Week Granted in
His Contempt Case.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 2.-Stephen Gage
appeared before Superior Judge Wallace
today on summons to show cause why
he should not be punished for contempt
in failing to answer subpoena of the
grand jury September 21st, recurring
him to testify before that body. Creed
Raymond, his counsel, claimed that if
contempt existed it was not of an
offensive character. The case was SIM
ply one of citizen in good faith en-
deavoring to determine the legality of
the grand jury, and his client was will
ing and anxious to make up an agreed
case to take before the supreme court.
Attorney General Hart addressed the
court, and stated that in view of the
Importance of the matter, and because
the state was liable to be put to heavy
expense in defending suits that might
grow out of the work of an illegal grand
jury, he would apply tomorrow to the
supreme court for a writ of review
which would enable that tribunal to in.
vestigate the manner of the impanel.
ment of the grand jury.
District Attorney Barnes then said he
would ask for continuance of Cages
case, which Judge Wallace granted,
allowing it to go over for one week, fix.
ing his bail at $1,000.
Later the attorney general said Cages
case could not go to the supreme court,
the only way to get the matter there
being by writ of review. He proposed
to file an affidavit with the supreme
court setting forth all the facts regard
ing the impeachment of the grand
Jurors.

The Practical Man and the Scientist.

Inc IrucIlcaI man ana the scientist.
For the sake of illustrating the differ
ence between the practical man and the
orist, let us suppose two persons to visit
the northern peninsula of Michigan
seeking for iron. The one runs along
blindly, takes up with every good show,
and mines. The result is, he either
makes happy strike by mere accident
or spends thousands of dollars in useless
search.
The other has studied the laws Of cleo
tricity, and knows that certain ores of
iron are magnetic. He understands also
that these ores will exert their influence
through any amount of superintendent
earth. Consequently he provides him
self with dipping needle and compass,
and by the operation of these tells where
a bed is located, its approximate depth
and probable amount of material. To
prevent being deceived by the magnetic
schists in that region, by means of his
dipping needle and compass he traces up
the bed until he finds an outcrop.
Thus have been located, at little ex-
pense, many of the mining regions of
that locality. What an achievement is
this, and how much better than the
blind guesses of the so called practical
man!-W. H. Smith, M. D. in Popular
Science Monthly.
