4 nrp1oRArr.r white capping affs

A DEPLoRABLE white capping affair is reported in our dispatches from Jonesboro. The entire city and snr- rounding community was thrown Into an intense excitement by the arrest on suspicion of Chas. IIinson, who con fessed to being one of the party oi whitecappers, and implicated the fol lowing other parties: Bera Ray. Al Counts, George Counts Rel Payne. John Burrow, Kid Ballentine and Capt. Les J. Ware. These parties were all immediately arrested and lodged Tn jail. The only reason assigned for whitecapping Black was the fact that he had brought III some negroes to work on his place. and they wanted to run him and the negroes out of the country metcalf refused to give away the names of any of his party. Elk citemeut is running high oyer the un- fortunate affair, made more so by the high social standing of Capt. Les J. Ware, who is one of the prominent at
 
 torneys of JonOsboro. His wife is the daughter of Judge J. C. Brookiield. one of the oldest and most highly re- spected lawyers in Eastern Arkansas. The family is one of the leading ones of this part of the state in social, polit- ieal and religious life. Capt. Ware, being himself an official member of the Methodist church in Jonesboro. His many friends are 10th to believe him guilty He was seen and stated he was in his office Saturday night until about II o'clock in company with a young man. d stenographer employed i'll his office, at which time he was sent for and requested to send a hack to bring Metcalf home and to send a physician to him. He got physician and went with him and brought Met calf home He was an intimate friend of Metcalf. and that IS why he was sent for. Capt. Wares statement about being in his office is borne out by tue stenographer. The prisoners Ill the county jail, arrested for being imph- cated in the expedition were ad- mitted to bail under habeas corpus proceedings before County Judge May wood yesterday. The bond of Capt. Ware was fixed at 5000. that of the other seven prisoners at s2500. Ware gave bond ill few minutes and was released. The others have not yet sue ceeded iii making bond. Excitement is dying down to some extent, but the trouble is deeply deplored by all good people.

A HOWL of virtuous indignation goes up from the English press because of alleged errors in the transaction Of Russian documents presented by the United States before the Behring sea commission. which errors are charged to wilfully fraudulent intent on the part of this government.

somewhat different treatment from
the 'Antigone" OF Sophocles, which is
the play the Vassar girls have selected
to produce. Twelve years ago the
Harvard students presented at San
ders' theater the "0Zdipus Tyrannis''
for three nights, and this was then
very properly considered a most nota-
bic literary event. People went to it

ing they would receive only the curl
Gus sensation of listening to the jar
gon of an ancient speech that would
betray nothing, but all the hterate
and unliterate left with new ideas
of the dramatic effect and intelligence
afforded.
No small part of this effect was due
to Mr. Biddle's dramatic genius in his
role as the protagonist, and to Prof.
Paine's fine musical adaptation, which
was also new and impressive revela-
ton. The ''Antigone,' given by the
ladies Of New Haven for the benefit of
the Yale hospital, was spoken from a
translation. But the girls of Smith
college, about four years ago, played

University of Pennsylvania-of Just

and she hangs herself in her rock
hewn tomb.
BY the righteousness of her deed she
is vindicated. 1t was sacred duty for
the nearest of kin to bury the dead,
and because Creon had set his will
above the will of the gods and stub
bornly resisted even the warning coun-
sci of the seer Teiresias, he was
brought down to the depths of an
guish. His son Haemon, the betrothed
of Antigone, Stays himself, and Fury
dice, his queen, dies by her own hand
when she hears of HaemOn's death.
Desolate and broken-hearted Creon
learns too late that great words of
prideful men are ever punished with
great blows" and that reverence to-
wards the gods must be inviolate."
The libretto which have named the
Vassar girls have had beau tifully
printed in coarse type, with a fine
translation of Prof. r. c.. Jebb, of
Cambridge, England, set opposite the
Greek text. This translation varies
from the text in only nine verses, and
but slightly there.
For many weeks the Vassar players
have been rehearsing their text with
earnest study and careful practice. 1t
is said their memory for it is already
and occasions surprise. The
one who must remember most is not
the personator Of the chief part, but
she who represents Creon, whose lines
are by far the most numerous. But
the personator of the chief character
is said to be specially fitted by re-
markable voice for her part in the
cast. The players are selected, not
simply from the senior class but from
all classes in the college, according to
their proficiency in Greek and their
general equipment for their respective
places.

whether the Doric or Attic costumes
in any particular case might be most
true and fit to the occasion. But there
was large liberty in Greek costumes
and there is a large range to select
from Masks now need not, and, am
sure, will not, be worn. These might
be permissible if there were male
actors, but to hide the faces OF the
Vassar students would be disappoint-
ment and grief to the audience. We

tempt this Sophoclean tragedy under
circumstances OF charm and fascina-
ton.

two articles we're wanted, shrewd

and by the help Of accurate patterns
given him he proved himself true

siasm and necessity OF the occasion.
No less effort will, predict, distin

Vassar will surely be strong will be

cloth for the main dress have already

Nor is the matter as trivial as it
may seem, for much of the expression

in his study of the costume in the Har-

could say. It is the power of the
