MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE BURGLAR

LIE uSLAh
The history Of 1.-The Burglar" has just
the slightest suggestion of romance en-
twined in its conception. Its author, Gus
Thomas, used to be a ticket seller at Coats
Kansas City opera houss, and afterwards
secured a position on this st. Louis Post
Dispatch. While there he was elected =
member of the Mccullough club one OF
the elite organizations Of the city, aud it
was at one of the receptions of this society
that member made a request for brief
sketch in which his daughter might ap.
pear. Thomas was equal to the occasion
and 'Edith's Burglar" was the outcome.
1t was SO well received that the Dickinson
Sketch club of Boston took it up aud
played it throughout the country, and il
created such favorable and lasting i'm
preston that it was taken in hand aud ell
tirely reconstructed by Mr. Thomas. who
points with pride to The Burglar of to-
day as the result. 1t is au effective and
touching play, as now produced. in which
ali the emotions OF actual being are lightly
and picturesquely blended, with just
enough comedy dash throughout to give it
life aud snap. A fine production is prom
ised at the Crawford Grand Jan. 10.
Mr. Charles Dickens, than whom there
is not better light comedian on the
American stage, will produce that fun
niest Of all comedies, ''Incog," at the
Crawford Grand on Jan. 90 The
authoress Of this comedy. Mrs. Pacheco.
is the wife of the Hon. Romualdo
Pacheco, who, during his political career
in California, held in succession very i'm
portant positions 10 the state government,
including the gubernatorisi chair, and
who is now United States minister at
Guatemala and the Central American re-
publics generally. Mrs. Pacheco is lady
who has read many books aud talked
cleverly to all the wise men of the nation.
She has dropped some of them into the
play, and, as the play shows. very success
fully. During her stay in Washington
she SAW much of political life, and was as
popular there as she has always been in
California. Six years ago she accom-
panied her husband 10 Mexico, and re-
sided at the capital of that republic two
years.

Expel the Anarchists.

The bloody riots last week in the
coke regions remind us of the ne
cessity of halting on the importation
OF foreign labor to compete with
American integrity. The foreign
element has caused so much disturb
ance i'll the industrial world that the
American people need to be cautious
about admitting aliens to enjoy the
freedom of American citizenship.
Aliens i'll every case are the cause of
blood shed and labor disturbance.
The American is entitled to:freedom
because he knows how to appreciate
the privileges afforded by the con-
stitution. The foreigner comes here
ignorant and remains so. How can
appreciate the merits Of freedom
afforded by our National laws 7
There Is no room in this free land
ior Anarchists and those who have
no respect for our institutions. 'Tis
true, some oreigners make good
citizens, but it is the exception and
not the rule. We welcome to our
shores all who are oppressed in for
eign lands when they come here
understanding our free institutions
and knowing how to appreciate our
laws. Ours is the land of freedom,
but our liberty is the liberty of law
and the lawless should have no sym
pathy from any class or condition of
American people.
