Emotional Eject of Mrs. Siddons' Acting.
Every one knows the stories of the
effect Mrs. Siddons produced. Her
audiences lost all command over
themselves and sobbed, moaned and
even howled with emotion. She
could sometimes scarcely be heard
SO loud were the lamentations of the
pit. A Scotch poet described the eff
feet at the Royal theater, Edinburgh,
in 1884:
From all sides Of the house, hark the cry-how
it swells,
While the boxes are torn with most heart
piercing yells!
Young ladies used suddenly to
shrek, going off as though they had
been stuffed with detonating powder.
Men were carried out gibbering, III
Mysteries. Fashionable doctors at
tended in the theater with the eS-
pectation of being amply occupied
throughout the close of the perform
ance. Nine. de Stael has given n
celebrated description Of Mrs. Sid
dons' frenzied laugh in the last act
of 1.-THE Fatal Marriage" sound
which was always the signal for
general swooning and moaning.
All this appears very odd to us and
may in part, no doubt, be attributed
to an emotional habit of the times
but at least it was the expression of
a highly intoxicating popularity, and
less than justice has surely been done
to the manner in which the great
actress received her plaudits, Ed
mund Gosse in Century.

Indian Slavery In Connecticut.

Dr.. Bernard C. Steiner, librarian
of the Enoch Pratt Free library, has
completed monograph ON Slavery
In Connecticut. Among the inter
esting facts in the work is the state
ment that the first slaves in Connect
icut were not negroes, but Indians,
being of the Pequot tribe, which was
overthrown by settlers in 1898. The
first law against the slave trade, too,
was passed in 1715 against the i'm
portation of the Tuscarora Indians,
who had been captured by the Caro-
hnians in war. The first idea of
slavery in Connecticut was then that
captives in war were slaves. Soon
after the foundation of the colony
negroes were introduced, a few at a
time, chiefly from the West Indies
and not from Africa. They were
owned for the most part as house
hold servants. and the 1Connecticut
notion of slavery was the patriarchal
one, that slaves belonging to the
family of the master differed from
apprentices only in being bound to
service for life.
Slavery was tolerated everywhere
in Connecticut throughout the CO.
lonial period, but with the coming of
the Revolution came the idea that it
was unrighteous to hold men in
bondage. This feeling led to the act
of 1774 prohibiting the foreign slave
trade, and that Of 1884, providing
that all thereafter born as slaves
should be free on reaching their TWEEN
ty-ffth year. This age was after
ward lessened to 21. Connecticut is
remarkable as being a state which
succeeded in gradual emancipation
When slavery was finally abolished
there in 1913, fewer than 90 slaves
were in the state, none of whom
was under GA years of age.-Balti-

DEBs FOR GOVERNOR.
The Strike Leader May Be the Popu-
list Nominee in Indiana.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-The American Rail
way Union adjourned at 10 O'Clock to-
night after a most turbulent and unsatis-
factory meeting Ostensibly the object
of the meeting was TO consider the causes
leading to the great western strike, and to
ind out the present status thereof,
but there is general impression
among close observers that the real OBJ
iect of the meeting was TO be found in
boom for Eugene Y. Debs for the govern
orship of Indiana. This is, however,
strenuously denied by the leaders Of the
American Railway Union. who declare
that this report was circulated by enc
mics of President Debs TO iujure him
classes The convention throughout
was strongly political in character and
there was much more talk Of the pOpulst
party in the two days deliberations
which ended tonight than there was Of
the rights of labor. II is certain that
should President Debs care TO run for
the chief magistracy Of the iOosier
state at the next election on
the populist ticket he would receive the
support of the party almost to man.
When approached on this subject tonight
by reporter, President Deb5 denied that
he had any political end in view. He had,
he said, only the good of the laboring
men Ut heart.
Al Address TO VOTERS
The most important action taken by the
convention was the oi5suing o n general ad-
dress, the title Of which was "A resolu-
ton TO the voters Of the country" The
sentiment Of this address, the text Of
which the convention declined TO make
public, was almost entirely political,
advising every laboriug man 10 uurn
ont at the pOlls and vote The ticket Of the
Peoples party. The resolutions gener-
ally are AGAINST mOuOpOlies, ard give rea-
sons why the strike should not
be declared off in favor Of
individual strikers on the diff
fereut railroads The alleged
unwarranted interference Of the federal
authorities is enlarged upon. Tho state
meuL is made that the strike would have
been successful but for the action Of the
federal authorities instigated by the rail
road corporations.
The sentiment Of the convention was
almost unanimous that the strike leader
should become q political factor and
leader.
Ralph Phillips Of Fort Scott, Kan.
George II. Mawman Of Chicago, B. b.
Kelly Of Livingston, and j. A. Martin of
La Junta, were among the delegates who
made enthusiastic speeches .favorinR the
populist idea.
The gst Of their speeches was that as
il had become dinicult for the people 70
get Justice through the courts and that
as the methods of the car were being set
up in America, IL was time for the work
ing people To call "a halt.

DEATHS ON THE eIBBEr.
a Negro Swung OF at Raleigh for
Numbering a Negress.

Raleigh. n. O., Aug. 3.-Orange Page,
colored, the murderer of Rosa Hay
wood, an aged colored woman, paid the
penalty Of his crime on the gallows here
today. The execution was private, and
was witnessed by about fifty persons at
the county jail here. A large crowd of
curious people assembled outside the in
closure. Page broke down and sobbed as
he was being led to the gallows and had
TO be assisted to the place.
Prayer was offered by a clergyman
after which Page prayed himself in "a
rambling way for five minutes, avowiug
his hope and faith in his salvation. After
the moose and black cap had been placed
over his head he made a sign that he
wished to speak and the cap was re
moved. Page then said that he hoped to
meet all his friends in glory and shook
hands with the officers and said good-by
The trap was sprung at ll:2O o'clock and
Page was declared dead in sixteen min
utes. He died of strangulation and it
was remarkable fact that no convul-
sions of the body were noticeable.
On the night of Jan. l6, Page and a col
Ored woman named Nancy Smith, who
was his paramour, murdered Rosa Hay
wood, with whom they were lodging, and
stole a sum of money which she had in
her house. Both. were convicted of
the crime and the Smith woman was
given life sentence in the state prison,
which she is now serving.

that it would not occupy more than fif-
teen minutes After twice that length of
time had been spent upon it, attention
was called by MIR. Hale, rep, of Maine to
the fact that the silver populist senator
from Nevada, Mr. Stewart, was about to
make a speech upon it, and probably to
offer his free coinage bill MS an amend
ment to it; and MIR, Halo remarked that
the bill could not be disposed of in fifteen
hours or in fifteen days.
Mr.. Stewart laughiugly admitted tho
correctness of MIR. Hale's guess and the
onort to pass the bill was given up for tho
day-the deficiency bill taking it's place

Shanghai, Aug. 3.-Dispatches have
been received confirming the report that
the emperor has divested Viceroy Li
Hung Chang of tho Order Of the Yellow
Riding Coat, which is the highest order
in China, allowing the wearer privileges
next to those of royalty. The
emperor has freely expressed
his anger at the viceroy's having
allowed Japan 10 get ahead of China in
preparing for war. The act Of the en-
peror in divestiug the viceroy OF this or
der does not necessarily imply his deposI-
tion from Office, but it has fallen like
thunder0olt here, as it is feared that the
incident will lead to Iii Huug's 90 nplete
overthrow He is regarded here as the
only leader capable of coping with Japan
in the inevitably long war. A crisis is re-
garded as imminent.
THE POWERS BEHIND THE THRONE.
The emperor has been influenced in his
action by members of his family hostile
to the viceroy's pro-European policy.
1t is expected that Sir Robert Hart, tho
British representative, will assert his au-
thority and support Ii Hung Chang.
The soldiers beheaded at Tien Tsin for
desertion pleaded in extenuation Of their
offenso hunger and exhaustion. Before
! they were executed they were stripped Of
their uniforms and their pig tails were
cut off. The example has terrified the
army. An edict has gone forth that the
army will receive double pay henceforth,
during the war with Japan, and o large
bonus has been offered to officers eompe-
tent to navigate the Chinese naval ves-
sells a nd transports.
