JULIUS CESAR.


The play Of Julius Caesar" at the Craw-
ford Grand last night was au undoubted
success from every standpoint except. pos
sibly. that Of attendance. While there
was a reasonably large attendance it was
not commensurate with the quality of the
production. IL could not be the people
were kept away on account of the price OF
admission, for that. certainly, WAS low
enough to induce every lover of Shake
speare to attend. Charles Hanford OF
course, was the star in Marc Antony, and
while his Interpretation OF the character
was grand, nevertheless it is question Of
doubt among the critics whether L. X.
Spencer in Caius Cassius was not the real
star Of the play. He has fine voice and
was sufficiently lean to make the chArac-
ter impressive. His impatient strides in
the garden of Brutus constitute model
of acting; his agitated feelings at the
death Of Cesar sent thrill through the
audience. while his impulsive acting in
the tent OF BTutus was superb in every
respect. Charles Hantord's Grafton on the
Forum, before the ''populace of Rome"
was uuquestionably very fine and
swayed the audience, as Marc An
tony did OF old. Bennett Matlack
made very fine Marcus Brutus. He gave
the character that degree of manliness,
dignity and character which characterized
the patriotic senator who was lured into
the conspiracy against CBser TO give it
force. His was melancholy part and was
admirably represented By Mr.. Mattack.
As Julius C8ser Mr.. Edward y. Hoyt WAS
beyond the slightest tinge of unfavorable
criticism. This character is usually given
to second or third rate actors, and the
certainly shows wisdom in
departing from the common custom aud
placing the destinies Of the character in
first class hands. Mr.. Hoyt has classical
a fiue. clear. high sounding
voice and is first class in every respect. On
the whole the play was very good and will
be patronized better the next time the
visits here.

Old Men of the Marines.

One of the curiosties of the public
service is the present condition of the
Revenue Marine Service in the matter of
the antiquity of many of its officers. For
example: Captain Martin was born in
1909, Captain Ottinger in 1901, Captain
Scammon in 1926, Captain Henriques in
1926, Captain Evans in 1917, First
Lieutenant Barston in 1924, First-Lieu-
tenant Loring in 1924, First-Lieutenant
Walden in 1925, Seeond-Lieutenant
Howard in 1921. Chief Engineer Roberts
in 1922, Chief Engineer Vallat in 1928,
Chief Engineer Chester in 1881, Chief
Engineer Chevers in 1892, Chief Engineer
Harrison in 1928 and Chief Engineer
Dinsmore i'll 1926. This condition only
exists because there is no remedy, and its
influence on the Revenue Marine Service
is very unfavorable and discouraging.
With captains over ninety years old,
second lieutenants and
engineers over seventy, and all still on
the active list, the status of that service
cannot be effective Under existing law
there is no retired list for the officers Of
the Revenue Marine, and they must be
kept at the top when they grow old and
useless No human organization can be
kept healthy and efficient without a con-
slant pressure of young blood at the
bottom. Captain Shepard and his pre-
decessors have cndeavored to force Con-
gressional action, but SO far their efforts
have not succeeded.-[Washingto Post.

Skating In Holland

Skating expeditions of great length
are not unusual features of the winter in
Holland. A popular feat is to visit in
one day the eleven towns of Friesland,
an aggregate distance of eighty miles.
1t is necessary to have good ice, practi-
caIly clear of snow, full moon, bright
sky, and plenty of previous practice. W.
J. H. Muller of HARLEM accomplished
this journey few winters ago in thirteen
hours, of which one-hour and tifty-five
minutes was consumed in resting and
nourishing.
Another remarkable feat is to skate
from Hague to Leenwarden, in Holland.
Its distinctive claim to notoriety is due
to the necessity of crossing the Zuyder
Zee, which is only possible after an ex-
ceptionally severe frost.
1t is on record that one Reindert
Renders delivered i'll one day, during
the winter of 1763-64, letter from Will
liam w. to his mother at Hague and re-
turned. The distance is vaguely de-
scribed by the phlegmatic natives as a
'forty hour walk" w. Koopmans made
a similar journey, more recently, with
important State papers. in fifteen hours.

PEELED to turn away from some OF the
sights at the City Hall hospital, where
the worst OF the one hundred and eight
injured now are. Every dwelling
now standing can be well term
ed a hospital, as all have been
thrown wide open, and from two
to eight wounded are being kept in
each. Little Charles Rusch, bright
four-year-old boy, died at midnight last
night, enduring his terrible wounds to
the last heroically. Governor Boies is
on the ground, and is doing all In his
power for the comfort OF the wounded.
Ten physicians are all that are here
to-day and calls cannot be promptly an
swered. The nelghboring cities and
towns are providing nurses literally,
but more are needed.
OF the injured from twelve TO twenty
more will die. Reports are being hour
ly received from rural districts. IL
seems that the storm started about one
mile west OF Cherokee and following
closely the Illinois Central railroad,
cutting swath from one-fourth to one
half mile wide, and completely demol-
ished everything in It's path. So far as
known the number Of dead from the
storm is sixty-three. The work Of
buryIng the dead Of Pomeroy has
begun. Seventeen were laid away
Yesterday and to-day twenty
more will be buried. A number OF bod
les have been shipped away. Scenes
are heartrending as relatives from q
distance come to gaze into the faces OF
their dead. Two hundred and eight
residences were swept completely of
the face Of the earth and not board Is
left. Hardly residence remains un-
touched and the business portion Of
Pomeroy is so badly wrecked that IL
can be said with truth that Pomeroy is
no more. Dead carcasses OF horses
cattle and hogs are being
cleared up from the rubbish
to-day and buried. Companies OF Ft.
Dodge assisted by companies from
Storm Lake and Ferry are on guard
night and day. 1t seems that as many
fatalities resulted from going into cell
lars as those who stayed above ground.

He Refers Mr. Sherman to the Congress
sionaI Record for Information Con-
cerning the Matter in Question,
DENVER, COL, July S.-Col. James
Plat was shown copy Of the dispatch
to-day in which Senator Sherman de-
nies the charges that the bill demone-
tiZing silver In '73 was smuggled
through Congress without debate or
the knowledge OF either house.
Mr.. Platt said: There is no issue OF
veracity between Mr.. Sherman and my
self. 1t is entirely between Mr.. Sher-
man and the Congressional Record. He
will not deny tLat the eleven words
which took away from silver its mint
ing privilege were added TO the Dill
by the conference committee or claim
the repeal of free coinage which these
words caused had ever been discussed
or suggested in either House OF the For
ty-second Congress or referred to his
committee. Neither will he claim that
in presenting the report TO the Senate
after these words had been added by the
conference committee he or any one
else called attention to the addition, or
that Mr.. Hooper, of Massachusetts,, in
presenting the report TO the House al
iuded in any way to this most important
amendment. although Of far more i'm
pOrtance than all the rest OF
the bill. If Mr.. Sherman will
kindly explain how the con-
ferencec committee were induced to
insert those words; by whom they were
suggested, and why, having added an
amendment of such momentous import
apce. he did not call the attention OF
the Senate to it, the country would be
deeply gratified, and it would have
mncb more effect than calling names.
II did not charge Mr., Sherman with
having taken advantage OF his knowl-
edge for speculative purposes; / did say
that the few men who knew that the
mintlng privilege had beenstaken from
silver had great opportunity for spec
plation, but l did not charge that they
took advantage OF it.
THE Congressional Record Is on file
at every public library. Any one who
cares TO know the truth of this matter
has only to take the Record and follow
the bill through from its first introduc-
tion to its final passage. In this way
the absolute accuracy OF my statements
in the letter to the Journal OF July can
be readily ascertsiDed."

SHERMAN FLARES Up.
Mr.. Platt, of Denver, Calls Him to
Account For Old Legislation.
HOW SILVER WAS DEMONETIzED
A Conference Committee Seems
to Have Been Responsible For
It, and Mr.. Sherman Was a
Member of It-Mr. Platt Re-
plies to Sherman's Remarks.

CHICAGO, July S.-"That man ought
to be hanged. He knows he Is lying
when he makes the statement he does
and covertly lnsinuates that honorable
men have been guilty OF dishonest and
scoundrelly acts"
These words came with wrath from
Senator John Sherman at the Union de-
pot tonight, as he was about to take 3
train for his home at Mansfield, o., and
were drawn out by charge brought
against him and others by James d.
Platt, President of the Denver Paper
Mills Company, Of Denver, in a news
paper communication. The charge Is
in connection with the passage by Con-
gress Of the law Of 1873 demonetizinR
silver, known as the demOnetization
act Mr.. Platt in effect charged that
Senator Sherman, while acting as
member of the Conference Committee
on the bill, did, in conjunction with
other members of the committee, surep-
titouslY insert clause in one section
of the bill! repeating free coinage and
smuggled it through both houses, and
that not q member OF the Senate or
House, or even President Grant when
he signed the bill, had the faintest sus-
picion that such clause was contained
in the bill. Mr.. Platt further inti-
mated that advantage was taken OF this
secret clause by members Of the Confer
ence Committee for speculative pur-
poses.
Mr.. Sherman, commenting further on
the Platt charges, said:
"He is simply revamping some old
charges that were exploded long ago.
They even failed to serve the purpose
they were intended to serve and were
pretty generally laughed at by men OF
both parties. Why, so eminent Dem
ocrat as Abram S. Hewitt, OF New York,
when a member of the House, investi-
gated the charges when they were first
given currency, and made a strong re-
port to the House to the effect that
there was not word OF truth in the
charges. That report Of Mr.. Hewitt's l
made use Of in one OF my speeches
when called upon once before to deny
these ridiculous charges"
