Something of the Good He Does and Like
| wise Undoes.
Really there has been too much
said in d%ispraise of the encore fiend,
and it is high time that a word or
two were spoken in his favor, for he
is by no means the utterly useless
and ENJOYABLE creature that some
harsh critics would have us believe.
The encore fiend indeed has many
very praiseworthy traits, and of his
usefulness there "a be no doubt in
the minds of those who will view his
performances dispassionately and
with an eye to discover the benefac-
tions which flow from his unselisb
efforts, for he is distinctly altruistic
in his intentions and in the methods
by which he carries them into effect.
He is by no means the hog that his
frank and artless manne would
seem to declare him. On the con-
trary, he labors for others, and for
all, as well as himself. He is not in
tent only upon getting a full return
for his money, but he is bound that
all shall receive their moneys worth
also. Moreover, he informs others by
his liberal and energetic applause
what is worthy of their appreciation,
and upon the principle. that there
cannot be too much of a good thing
he insists hat they shall have as
much as possible of what his superior
taste %conceives they should admire.
And the cor fiend thinks not
only of the welfare of the people at
the theater, but of others who are
not there. By frightening the per-
formance until after II o'clock he
prevents the bibulously inclined

and thus does he a good thing for
the cause of temperance. Again, by
delaying the close of the performance
he brings money to the purse of the
herdic driver who is employed to
hurry suburbanites to the trains they
cannot reach in time by walking, and
he helps the hotels likewise, mas
much as many who cannot reach
their homes, having lost their trains,
are obliged to put up in town.
The Moore fend is, moreover, no
mean factor toward the elevation of
the stage, for his applause not only
rewards good acting Or superior sing
ing, but he causes the performers or
singers who have done badly to re.
peat their efforts, and in this way
does he punish offenders.
The encore fiend, it is true, receives
a personal benefit from his applause
and indeed every good act brings
it's compensation to the actor-for
the exercise he INDUCES in is an
excellent prophylactic for the govt
and rheumatism, it assists digestion
and aids in the healthful circulation

But these benefits to himself are
only incidental. His main purpose is
to act for the public good, and most
theoretically does he attain his Oh

HE HERALD extends thanks to
It's sister journals for the h~attering
notices received upon the issue Of
the Souvenir. We find it impossible
to publish all the nice things said,
and only wish the opportunity may
come, when the HERALD may prop
erly reciprocate. We feel the fnan-
cial depression as heavily as any n
and our strong hope is that some
such factor as the Souvenir may
serve to attract the investor to this
muniicent field of natural resources.
and that prosperity may grow as a
fruit of our feeble efforts.

A few days ago the little son of a we'll
known physician was entertaining a play
mate at his fathers house. AS children
will, they ransacked every nook and cor

them to explore the recesses of a closet in
which the doctor keeps his instruments
and other personal effects, among which
Is a complete skeleton. The strange boy
was frightened when he first beheld tho
grinning remnant of what once had been
a human being and started to run away.
The doctors son, however, had seen the
skeleton so often that he entertained for
it only that feeling Of contempt begotten
by familiarity, and in a little while sue
ceeded in SO allaying the fears of his com
panion that the youngster began to han

a resident of Neihart wanted a
right to cut timber. He procured
the necessary blanks, defined his
land as has been customary, adver-
tised for the required time and sent
in his application. This was six
months ago. Mr.. Register thought
he might not command the same
personal notice if he granted the
application at once. He returned
the papers and as the township
wherein the timber stands is unsur-
veyed he ordered a survey made.
This was done specially for the oc-
c%asion. a second advertisement was
made and again the petition vent
before the throne. Worthy Empti-
ness Cox thought the proper dignity
had not yet attended the proceed
ings. He wanted the advertisement
to appear also in one paper Of gener-
al circulation in the state (he assum-

paper in the county and also in an
other of general circulation in the

for the expense. He wants his right
to cut timber. He is willing to com
ply with the letter of the law. and

granted the right which he asks.

THREATENED HIS FATHER

Abused Their Kindness by Continually
Getting Drunk and Creating Dis.
turbances at Home.

John Carroll was arrested last evening
upon complaint of his father. Patrick Car
roll. OF No. 1909 Sixteenth street, who
charged his son with threats. The trouble
has grown out of the actions OF a way
ward son, whose habits have been endured
by loving father and humored by an
aged mother.
Patrick Carroll, who is clerk in the
document room of the War Department,
and his wife are of quiet, retiring
disposition, and reside in quiet neishoor-
hood, but for number of nights there nave
been regular disturbances at The Carol!
home, such as the rafting of doors, the
sound of oaths and the loud tones OF an
apparently intoxicated man.
1T is all on account OF WHISKY said
Mrs. Carroll last night. John, who is
twenty-siX years old. has been supported
by me. l have been clothing and feeding
him, and night after night he gets drunk
and comes home and aTouses every one
unless we let him in"
when he took to drinking this way
his father forbade him to come into the
house, but he came home, and kno wing
how much | dislike a disturbance. began
to rattle the door, and then curse and
swear and call to be let in.

his fathers protest and allowed him to
enter He would get out doors and create
the same kind of disturbance when he de-
sired money Saturday ii was but
repetition of the former occurrences only,
perhaps, the scene was more disgraceful-
He wanted to get in and when we refused
he started after his father with brick in
his hand. Saturday night he came back
again at midnight, but l refused to let
him in"
Here the mother broke down In her story
and betw cen her sobs told how yesterday
when all vas quiet and suspicion of danger
was absent from their minds. the door
opened and there stood the son. He de-
manded from his father money to go to
New York. His father refused, saying it
would be spent for drink The young man
went through the house and into the rear
yard, following his father. While in the
yard he is said to have continued to threaten
his parent unless he got the money, and Mr..
Carroll alleges his son seized tall pole
in the ward and threatened TO hit him with IL.
II have put up with it as long as l pos
sibly can," said Mfr. Carroll He has
never done any W ork, and have not asked
that he should. II he had only behaved
himself, and let drink alone we would have
given him a home. but something must now
be done with him because the neighbors will
COMPLAIN of the noise and disturbance and
we feel very sensitive about it
Young Carroll refused to discuss the matter
last night but after he had been in the
cell some hours, sent messenger to his
parents. begging them not to prosecute
him. but the father decided to let the law
take its course.
