Catholic. and the Public schools.

Frederic X. Coudert in the July Forum.
AS to our common schools, true there IS
an honest difference of opinion among our
citizens as to the proper way OF conduct
ing them. But as the enormous majority
of the people III every state is in favor of
unsectari an public education 1t is the
height OF absurdity to take that as the
target for violence and oppression. When
it is borne in mind that the Roman Catho-
lies have spent millions and millions
of money for conscience sake IN building
schools that their children might not
forget the faith of their fathers
faith which if persevered in makes them
honest. truthful, loyal citizens-does it
not seem as wicked as it is senseiess TO
talk of menace on the part of Catholics
against the system? Thus far. certainly,
they have received but little aid from the
state, and their maenanimous bearing,
added to the great hardship which the
system has entaiied upon them. viz: paw
ment for that education which many of
them conscientiously refuse to receive,
should entltle them to the warmest adj
miration and respect.

Lady vyfndermers.. Fan. /"

There Is no doubt that in Lady Win
dernere's Fan" 10 be presented st the
Seattle theater July Is and 10. Seattle
theater goers will get what was really the
most successful play of the past year in
London and New York. Lady Winder-
mere's Fan" has been spoken OF in the
theatrical world as the most brilliant So
ciety skit since Sheridan scored the fash
ionable world at his time in the school
for Scandal" Wilde has followed the lead
OF Jones and Of P.nero in trying 10 teach a
lesson while amusing the audience. The
lesson of the play is that a husband is
never wise In deceiving his wife. even with
the best Of intentions. the wife Is sure TO
find 1t out that she is being deceived and
her suspicious may lead to far worse
troubles than the whole truth would have
brought about With ali its amusing,
witty talk. this lesson Is most wildly
taught. The moral Of the play is: Let
he that thinketh he standeth take heed
lest he fall.
1t has been Oscar wiide's fortune,
s'good fortune" be says, to have been
burlesqned without cessation during tho
last twenty years. The London comic
papers have printed $50 caricatures of
him SO far, all of which he has pasted in
a big scrapbook. When Gilbert carica-
tured him as Bonthorne, IN Patience, +"
Wilde wrote him a little note OF thanks, in
which he said that he considered
caricature TO be one OF the sincerest COM
piiments that msdioerity could pay to
merit. One of Punch's first caricatures in
which Wilde figu~ss was the famous pic
ture representing young and aesthetic
couple sitting at table grAced by an ugly
and outlandish cup. The young woman
exclaims: "Is IL not beautiful; almost
too beautifulp' TO which the long-haired
enthusiast opposite her responds: at is
indeed too beautiful for words, but
we must try to live up to it,.
Oscar Wilde says that Lady Winder-
mere's Fan" has already paid him over
$4,000 in royalties. or more than his
books. newspaper articles and poems have
brought him in the last twenty years. No
wonder that Willie is determined to keep
on writing plays. The success of the play
has been even more emphatic ia this
country than in England. During its run
of 200 nights at Palmer's theater, New
York. IL was played to large and fashion.
able audiences. On tho first Saturday OF
It's New York run the receipts for the two
performances, afternoon and evening,
were s.. $40. something uncommon even
for great success.
