Interesting Article by a Young
 and Talented Actor.
THE VIEWS OF WALTER JONES.

The Droll Comedian of the "149a" Company
 Tells What He Thinks Theater Goers of
 Today Want to See-Tragedy, He Says,
 Has Seen Its Day In America
 1.-The plays the thing" Quoth Hamlet, and right we'll said was it by the melan- choly prince. Though this is supposed to have been uttered centuries ago, it proves conclusively that the play is the ching, the mighty towering monarch of amusements. People of all classes after a days toll and work wish to seek some diversion to make them forget for a time the worry Of busl- ness and break the monotony of their hum- drum, everyday life. And what is more ap- propriate to accomplish that purpose than a good comedy, or a burlesque opera, or a drama with plenty of comedy in it? But if the play be not good or the comedy bad, then the poor pleasure seekers night of rest is prefaced by horrible dream of real ity, for what is more disconcerting than q bad play badly played?
 To be a comedian one doesn't necessarily have to paint his face, like Sioux Indian on the warpath, red, white, green and yell low, with chunks and lines that express nothing and so obliterate the features that all expression is lost. Nor must they fall off chairs, stepladders or over tables to make their audience laugh.
 Comedians are born, not made. True, 8 great deal of experience is necessary to de velop them and to acquire that which is most necessary to all actors-judgment; to learn the value of good lines and inter pret them in manner that will convey the strongest idea of humor to the audience Good actors make good arts, and, vice versa, good parts make good actors.
 A talented actor is generally a sensible man and is always ready and willing to learn something, for every one still has something to learn. The man, however, who sticks his nose in the air and says,

Millepeda.

The little creature which possesses the distinction of having more legs than any other animal is that which belongs to the family of insects known as mille- peds, or thousand footed. There are several different species of these, but they all possess the common character istic of having segmented bodies, each segment of which is provided with it's own pair of feet. These are set SO close ly along the body as to resemble hairs. and when they move one after another with perfect regularity tho effect is pre- cisely the same on small scale as that of field of oats undulating under the influence of the wind. Some species of millepeds have us many as $50 separate aud distinct legs. They are all per fectly harmless. unlike the centipeds, which frequently have the power of in- fiicting poisonous wounds.

 During the New Orleans race meeting Jockey Tom Cassin led the riders list with sS mounts won. A seconds and 34 thirds. This is remarkable from the fact that less than a year ago he had his first mount in a race when he rode horse for his employer. Tom Griffin, the former jockey, at Nash vile. Cassin's progress has been very rapid. and one day he landed five out of six win ners. He was born in Chicago l6 years ago and attended the public school at Harrison street and Western avenue up to 1892. His salary for this season is $, ,OO0-a big figure for boy who has been riding only one year. He can now ride at so pounds, and at leav- ing the post he has no superior. He is rather delicate looking, about feet 10 inches in height and has remarkably good hands and seat. The whip with him is his last resort, and his education in this respect is a good one. He resembles Jimmy I-amley in more ways than one, but has more solemn look ing countenance and wiser head.

 try, but it doesn't do them much good just the opposite. They have a double standard, gold and silver, but this is how 1t works: Everybody pays his debts in sill yer, the cheaper currency, and hoards gold, because it is good all over the world; sells it to a broker nt a premium to be shipped out of tho country or smugglCs it out him. self. It docsn't t enrich the country"
 Have all tho silver miners turned into goldbugs?'
 Not just that. They don't like it, but they TO all looking for it. Silver mining is pretty mining The metal is found in larger quantities, in more distinct veins You can depend on it, but gold vein is mighty tricky. They don't like to take hold of gold, but they had to come to it, for the mines shut down, and the men were out of work A miner is like a sailor he can't turn to anything else. Give him a burro grub stake and a compass and he'll cruise the hills as they navigate the sea. Lots of the big capitalists of the Tombstone and Lcadvillc silver mines have put on their old clothes and gone out prospecting, rustling with pick and shovel, frying pan and bacon, like me.
 Searching For Gold.
 1T have silver proposition in Colorado that used to be worth half million; now 1t won't pay to work. Moro than ono sill yer miner is down here securing these hills for gold. Haven t seen so many old miners in years. '
 Then gold is not so scarce as the silver men claim?'
 "Scarcc? Lord, no! You're walking on 1t now. You can't travel over these hills and deserts anywhere but you re going over gold. It's in every gulch in Arizona. It's just question of how to get it out-that is, locating the veins and getting the wa ter to wash it with, for you can t mine any more than farm without watcr'
 "Is not that tho principal difficulty in mining herc?"
 Yes The mills have to pipc and pump their water for miles, but there's more wa ter than usual this season, for there's s more snow in the mountains. When it meltS, every gulch where water runs will be full of miners"

 Yes We have to be mighty careful Have to carry water in cantcens for our selves and in jars for the burros. Can't go more than 20 miles from q water hole. Water is life on these deserts. To get out of it means death. Every year prospectors get lost on the desert, try to reach water

Charles klein's new play, "Willie." re- gently produced by Charles Dickson, is styled satirical comedy. but it is so broad as to trespass upon the field of pure farce comedy. The piece deals with the adven- lures of Willie Furbellew, a sporty young man, who under a contract to marry Sarah Tugstock, a passe sister of the bookmaker, Nathaniel Tugstock, meets his former fan cee, Florence Bignold, with whom he has fallen out on account of his attentions to Emma Roseby, a fin de siecle young wom- an, who is all the while engaged to marry Tugstock. With this as a groundwork Charles Klein has constructed play crowd ed so full of complications that the very at- mosphere grows thick with them. For making laughter Willie" is well written.

THE repeal of the Irish coercion act is so proper a work for liberal government in Great Britain that it is surprising i
 should not have been undertaken before. The main obj, ction to the coercion act was that it put stigma upon the Irish people as requiring to be restrained by laws that the British people did not need and to which the British people most certainly would not have submitted. It was of no use to plead that Ireland WAS as peaeeable as England or Scotland In fact Mir Bal four had dilemma always ready on one horn of which to impale the Irish people. If they were orderly. the peaceableness shove q that the coercion net produced good results. If they were diSorderly. their dis order showed bow Lscessary WAS the CO erciOu act.
