Martyrs In Theater Boxes.

Speaking Of theater boxes and people
in them, there's not sight in all the
capital that I admire more than the
heroism of the society young man in a
box party. Now box in a Washington
theater will hold four persons comfort
ably, and of these four only two can see
what's going on on the stage well.
So far as seeing the play goes, box
seat is the worst in the house. Then the
average box party is made up of six OR
eight full grown men and women, and
the women get the front seats, of course,
and the men-well, the men take the
background and catch rare glimpses
of the leading lady's shoulder, and
when the chaperon says, ooh, Mr.
Brown, I'm so afraid you're not see
ing" they smile and say: "Oh, yes, I
am. I can see PERFECTLY
It's sublime, say; it's awe inspir-
ing They actually managFto look as if
they were enjoying themselves. It's
wonderful what an amount of broken
heart and suppressed profanity starched

FRENCH BARBARlTY AT YAFA.
Thousands of Prisoners Were Shot Down
After the Surrender.

Alter the surrender.
No French victory was ever marked
by such nbridled license as that which
the victorious troops practiced at Yafa
But what followed was worse, for the
prisoners of war were too numerous for
the ordinary usage For some days they
were treated according to the terms OF
quarter they had exacted. On the 18th
a council of war unanimously voted that
the old rule under which no quarter is
given to defenders in all assault should
be applied to them. For three days b.
naparte hesitated, but Oh the goth his
decision was taken A few Egyptians
were sent home and the remainder of
the prisoners, together with the 800
militia from Ell Arish, were marched to
the beach and shot. In the report to the
directory the number was put at l., 200.
Two eyewitnesses estimated lt-one at
5000, the other at 4 1000.
II have been severe with those of your
troops who violated the laws of war,
wrote the author of the deed to JezZar
No mention of the fact Or excuse for it
was made in any of his other CORE
spondence at the time. All winter long
he had been dealing as an oriental with
orientals, and this was but a piece OF
the same conduct. The code Of Christian
morality was far from his mind. In JAN
uary, for instance, he had ordered Mu-
rat to kill all the prisoners of a hostile
tribe in the desert whom he could not
bring away, and in the same month
identical orders were issued to Berthier
concerning another existing horde.
The plea which is made by the eulo-
gists of Napoleon and by some recent
military writer's for this wholesale exc
cution is that among these slaughtered
men the garrison of Ell Arish, which
had surrendered, had been found again
with arms in their hands; that they
were deserving of death according to all
the laws of war, and that, as to the rest,
there were no French prisoners for whom
to exchange them and no provisions to
support them, consequently their pres
ence with the army would jeopardiZe its
success, and it was therefore justifiable
to diminish the enemy's resisting power
by their execution. Those who believe
that war, whether just Or unjust, justi-
fies any barbaritv which will lead to
speedy victory will agree with that
opinion. Professor w. M. Sloane 8

The Doctor Suffering From a Nervous
TrOuble-N0 successor Discussed.
DIR. Peter McVicar's resignation of the
presidency of Washburn college has
been accepted but he will remain in
charge of the school until his successor
is elected.
The trustees of Washburn college held
a meeting last evening at which the
resignation of Dr.. McVicar was con-
sidered. DR.. McNicar resigned in the
early summer but the trustees refused to
accept his resignation.
AT yesterdays meeting, however, Dr.
McVicar went before the trustees and in
sisted that he must be relieved from duty.
He SAID that an eminent Chicago physi-
clan by whom he had been examined,
told him he must have absolute rest, and
therefore he would be compelled to in
sist on his resi- gnatiou being accepted.
DR.. McVicar's trouble is a nervous
trouble resem bling shaking palsy.
The trustees, before they adjourned,
adopted the following resolution ia re-
gard to the presidency of the college:
Whereas, the condition of DR.. McVicar's
health compels him to insist on his
resignation of the presidency of Wash
burn college.
Resolved, That with regret we accept
the same to take effect when his success
sor shall be elected and that thereafter
his relation to the college shall be that
of president emeritus.
