lean history growing in popularity through
out the Northern States; and the societies
formed of those whose ancestors took part
I'm the struggle for American liberty are be-
ginning to accomplish many practical works of
public importance. The noble monument at
Bennington, the statue Of General John
Stark at Concord, the preservation OF the
headquarters OF Brother Jonathan" Trum-
bull at Lebanon, Conn. the monument now
building In Baltimore and many other valuable
works have grown out of the activities of the
tablets in this city and the statue Of Nathan
Hale are the product of the Society Of the Sons
OF the Revolution. All these proceedings had
their origin in the decade of celebrations of the
one-hundredth anniversaries of leading events
connected with Independence, which ended In
this city in April. 1889; and it is matter for
public congratuation that those great popular
demonstrations have left such n legacy of pa
trotlc achievements to follow them. The COM
ing celebration Of the Boston Tea Party in
this city. on December l6. by the Sons Of the
American Revolution, in honor of Professor John
Fiske. the historian, promises TO be among the
most interesting festivities of the winter OF
1884 Professor Fiske is well worthy of the
honor to be bestowed upon him. He is not only
a prolific writer but entertaining speaker;
and he will make this occasion memorable by
delivering something entirely new concerning the
throwing overheard OF tea in Boston harbor.

MR.. kUSEL EXPLIINS.

OMAHA, Oct. l0.-To the Editor of The
BEE: In regard to the communication IN a
recent issue signed "Banquo," relative to
the Wonderland Peoples theater, allow me,
as the leading man of the company, to make
a few remarks. While "Banquo" has stated
some truths he has also culled most of his
statements from his imaginative brain. In
the first place we all agreed to compromise
our claim for 80 per cent, and / for one, be-
lieve that it was owing to Manager Burgess
Offering to pay some part of it out of his W
pocket that we received that. In justice to
Messrs. Wallace and Blanchard l must say
that they worked night and day for our in
terest, trying all the time to get us our sala-
ries in full that they failed was certainly
not their fault. / have no reason to believe
that the above named gentlemen had any
intention of doing anything disnonorable, as
| consider them above reproach. AS regards
the treatment the actors received | agree
with "Banquo' that it WAS the shabbiest
piece of unprofesslonal conduct ever perpe-
trated on contiding Thespians, but the blame
for that does not live in Omaha, but is a
residents Of Denver.
He is not worthy Of public patronage or
confidence. Thanking you for your valuable
space, respectfully, JULIE S. KusEL.

These driving wheels are - inches in diane

the locomotive does not burn any more coal
