And His Presence Disturbed the Audience
Not Less Than the Actors.
Up to the year 174o there seems to have
been no regular and permanent theater ip
Scotland. In that year the foundation
stone of the Canongate theater was laid by
Mr. Lacy Ryan of the Covent Garden thea
ter, London. At the prices then customary
(viz, 2s. 3d., Is. Q. and Is. full house
was worth from $50 to R55. On special
occasions, such as tho benefit Of popular
actor, as much as 970 was taken, but only
by admitting spectators to the wings and
even to the stage itself. Sometimes the
stage was 80 crowded in this way that the
actors had not sufficient room to carry out
their business" properly, and, IL engaged
in duel, had TO shorten their lunges for
fear Of pinking patron. 1t Is to the credit
of Garrick that he was the first to SGT his
face against this abuse and to close the
stage door even to a prince of the blood.
Those were days in which every theater
led precarious existence Actors were
barely tolerated. They were, legally, "vag
abonds." Their profession was considered
immoral, not only by the great bulk of tho
public, but, in way, by themselves. A
curious illustration Of this had been afford
ed a little while before at theater in Lon.
don. In play called "The Sorcerer' I'll,

was to be performed. They were masked
and dressed in the usual manner, with all
the Dantesque accessories to mako them

in the midst Of their performance, they
discovered to their horror that thirteenth

much for the actors
Conscious OF tho faot that they were
considered by most men tlt candidates for
the special attentions of the arch fond,
they fed In all directions before the un.
welcome visitor, If haply they might yot
escape the destruction which they believed
was coming upon them. Owing to this
general stampede, the esupernumerary devil
was never unmasked But when the panic
was over, 1t was remembered that there
was thirteenth Internal toilet, which
might have been assumed for the occasion
by somo practical joker. At tho time,
however, the direct interposition Of satan
was firmly believed by the actors and the
audience Tho actors fed; the audience dis
persed to carry to their homes the tidings
Of this terrible avatar. And SO profoundly
did 1t affect the Imagination of some oi
the spectators that they professed to have

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Associated Press
learns from a trustworthysouroe that the
Englishman, Stoke, hung by the Belgians,
under Captain Lothaire, near the river
Aruwimi, in the Congo state, had legal
trial, but that Captain Lothaire acted
illegally in hanging him without allowing
an appeal to the tribunal at Bona. Lie
Matin, of Paris, declares that the Congo
state authorities possess letter which
Captain Lugard wrote to the chairman Of
the East Africa company, warning him
that u he laid hands upon Stoke he would
make short work Of him. The charge
against Stoke was Of selling arms and am
munition to Chief Kibonge, with whom
the Belgians were fighting.

The only apology possible for the terms

peril under which. according. to the de-
fondcre OF the present Administration, the
Treasury labored.
Who was responsible for this peril2 The
Democratic party. No one else. Atlength
we have an official confession OF this fact.

sources. In tho darkest days OF the Civil
War the credit OF the nation never received
such a blow as threatened 1t In the hrst
week of February, 1895"
What wae the Congress which struck
this deadly blow to the national credit
The House was Democratic by 73 over all
and by a5 over the Republican vote. The
Senate was Democratic by 5 over all and
BY 8 over the Republican vote. AS Mr..
Ford admits and assorts in language as
strong as any Republican paper has used.
1t was Democratic Congress whlch dealt
a blow TO our credit as nation worse
than any ''ln the darkest days Of civil
war" due to Democratic rebellion.

The Call for the Convsntion Declares That
Interest of ireland from Either Liberal
or Tory Governments.
CHICAGO, Sept 2.-The official call for
the convention of the new Irish movement
to be held in Chicago, Sept. "a, % and 26
has been issued from the headquarters OF
the executive committee of the organisar
tien. 1t says:
1.-THE Irish struggle for freedom has
reached momentous period Ireland,
abandoned in the crisis Of her fate by the
Liberal leaders, is told by the Tory score
tary to the lord lieutenant that the British
government is sternly and unalterably op-
posed to the granting OF any measure of
home rule whatever. This is the old policy
and the language employed by successive
English governments toward Ireland. She
has been alternately betrayed by the Wings
and dragooned by the Tories. Nothing
worth her acceptance Is to be expected
from either Of bhe leading English parties.
"Ireland must, therefore, look to her
own children and their descendants for
support In her great extremity. Parlia-
mentary agitation has had long and
patient trial, but has utterly failed to
accomplish Its object. 1t remains for us
to consider what other method of proceed
ure or argument can be used to achieve
her liberation.
'"rhe Irish race in America cannot afford
to be neutral or supine, while the mother
land is being slowly but surely done TO
death by the usurpating enaotments Of q
foreign and hostile power In unison with
thousands of our race distributed through
out the Union, and after mature delibera-
tion, the undersigned have decided to call
a convention of sh-Americans to take
into consideration the present status Of the
Irish struggle for freedom, and to devise
ways aud means best suited to the accom-
plishment Of Ireland's Independence.
"The qualifications for membership In the
convention are agreed upon as follows:
All Irish American military, benevolent
athletic, social, religious and literary organ
izations that favor the Independence Of
Ireland, and are willing to aid her right
GUS struggle for liberty are invited TO send
one delegate for every fifty members, and
one additional for every fraction over fifty;
| two delegates for every hundred members,
and one additional for any fraction over q
hundred and SO on in proportion"

The Fact of His Incarceration Revealed
by an Eminent English Physician.
New YORK, Sept e.--Dr. Forbes Wins
low, Of London, we'll known specialist
on suicide and insanity, says that Jack
the Ripper" who by his crimes terrorised
London few years ago, is incarcerated In
q county iunatic asylum In England. DIR.
Winslow says this fact is known to the
authorities, but they have hushed up the
case. The doctor has come to New York
to attend the medico-legal congress, which
will be held Sept. 4, 8 and 9. He will be
chairman of the department Of insanity
and mental medicine, and has prepared
paper on "Suicide Considered Us Mental
Epidemic"
The story told by DR.. Winslow follows;
Jack the Ripper" was medical stu
dent, of good family. He was a young
man, of slight build, with light hair and
blue eyes. He studied very hard, and his
mind, being naturally very weak, gave
way. He became religious enthusiast,
and attended early service every morning
at st. Pauls.
His religious favor resulted in homicidal
mania toward the women Of tho street,
and impelled him to murder them. He
lodged with a man whom knew, and sus-
pioion was first directed toward him by
reason Of the fact that he returned to his
lodgings at unreasonable hours, and that
he had innumefable coats and hats stained
with blood
have in my possession now q pair Of
Canadian moccasins stained with blood
that the Ripper wore while on his muir
derous expeditions. notified the Scotland
Yard authorities, but at that time they
refused to cooperate with me. Subse-
quently tho young man was placed in con-
hnement and removed to lunatic asylum,
where he Is today. Since his Incarceration
there has been no reptition of the horrible
murders that he perpetratcd.
These facts are all known to the English
authorities, and it Ia conceded that the
man now in the asylum is "Jaok the Rip
per-" 1t was doomed desirable, however,
to hush the matter up. The details were
too horrible TO be made the subject Of a
public trial, and there was no doubt Of the
mans hopeless insanity.
