Nr. Davis, the farce came 60 an end.
Stage lords and stsgs ladies vanished into
the population. The eK-qusen laid aside
her tinsel crown, pot of her tawdry Tega-
liza, and fe-6nte1ed private life through the
stage entrance. But the practical and real
took the place Of this psrnicious monarchy.
A firm government. conducted By abls men
entered on the abandoned stage. To the
world the proceedings have been apsotaeu-

What would have followed In this fow Of
