FRENCH BARBARITY AT JAFFA.
Thousands of Prisoners Shot Down After
the Surrender

Thousands of Prisoners Shot Down After
the Surrender.
No French victory was ever marked
by such un bridled license as that which
the victorious troops practiced at Jaffa.
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 an as
sault should be applied to them. For
three days Bonaparte hesitated. but
on the Goth his decision was taken. A
few Egyptians were sent home, and
the remainder of the prisoners, to-
gether with the eight hundred militia
from Ell Arish, were marched to the
beach, and shot. In the report to the
Directory the number was put at
twelve hundred Two eye-witnesses
estimated it-one at three thousand,
the other at four thousand.
Il 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 ex-
cuse for il was made in any of his other
long he has been dealing as an Orient
al with Orientals, and this was but a
piece of the same conduct. The code
of Christian morality was far from his
mind. In January, for instance, he
had ordered Murat to kill all the pris-
oners 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 an
other existing horde
The plea which is made by the eu1o-
gists of Napoleon, and by some recent
military writer's, for this wholesale ex-
ecution, is that among these slaugh-
tered men the garrison Of El Arish,
which had surrendered, had been
found again with arms in their hands;
that they were deserving of death ac-
cording 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 presence
with the army would jeopardize it's
success, and it was therefore justifia BILE
to diminish the enemy's resisting
power by their execution. Those who
believe that war. whether just or I'M
just, justifies any barbarity which will
lead to speedy victory will agree with
that opinion. Prof. w. Ii. Sloane, In
Century.

old Heads and Young Hearts

You sometimes see conioined in elderly in
diViduals, but seldom behold an old man or
woman as exempt from infirmities as in
youth. But these infirmities may be miti-
gated in great measure by the daily and reg
ular use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. an
invigorant, anti-rheumatic and sustaining
medicine of the highest order, which also
removes dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness
and kidney trouble. 1t is adapted to the

Detective Shelly with Officers

chase this morning after Joe
Smith, Negro, who was caught in
the act of burglary OF the re sidence

The house has been closed for
some days, Mr.. Smith taking up
his residence with one Of his sons
near by. This morning in looking
over toward the house from this
residence Mr.. Smith noticed that
the house looked as IL it was occu-
pied, the curtains being drawn
back from window, and
calling his two sons they
went over and heard quite a
noise in the house. Calling out,
"who's there?" Roland Smith saw
Negro jump out back window,
leap the fence and scamper off
down a bushy street toward the
river. He left his coat on the fence
and as Roland gave chase, the fugi-
tive also threw off his shoes. Roland
kept up the chase for nearly mile
and when he finally ran into the
brushy river bottom, 1.-THE young
man returned with the captured
shoes and coat and gave notice
to the police. Although the rob-
Der had nearly two hours

the men to the river, and being
taken across the water, found the

Negro who was lying hidden in the
weeds, all blown from his long run.
He was taken back and given his

were his, and was then taken to

A TALK WITH MISS MORTON.
And Something About the Other Members
of the ComnaDv

And Something About the Other Members
of the Company.
There is good deal that is interesting
about Miss Morton even though she does
seem to be so thoroughly impressed with
her magnitude in the comic opera world.
She is st. Louis girl and her father
is a wealthy paint manufacturer of that
city. BY the confession of one of her
company she is but twenty three years
of age and has been for less than five
years an opera singer. Her first profess
sional singing was done as a soprano in
st. Xavier's church, st. Louis. She is in
love with music, though not particularly
with the stage.
sit is better for me than choir sing
ing" she said. sit is fully as satisfac-
tory from a music point of view and there
is great deal more money and fame in
it and that's about all there is in it any
way.
'sMy parents have never been stage
people. l am the only one who has ever
been, of our family I presume they
would rather have me at home but /
have my own way in the mat ter aud
they are glad [ am doing well. They
are both singers and can svmpathize with
me fully. People are born to sing as it
is said they are born artists
or poets or humorists. They cannot live
| without their art and [ could not live
without my music. The passion of each
is an inherent disease. You might liken
it to that for it is hardly ever cured and
is all-consuming. If anything should
| happen that l should not be able to sing
or see piano again I should be raving
! crazy In three months. am
glad of nv success. Failure
would have broken my heart and
should never have been able to get over
| it."
Miss Morton has great many ideas of
her own and a lively way of expressing
them. She is philosopher in a way
and is pretty sure she is right in what
ever she says.
81 had two years of society once" she
said, ''and I never want any more of it
There is nothing to ii. I found more
| immortality in society in those two years
than have seen on the stage in five"
Miss Morton objects to the blonde wi G
she wears in her part "They make me
wear it although the part is Milanese,
she said, 81 never saw blonde Italian
in my life"
Miss Morton and her company found a
new complaint about the opera house
last night They said it was hard
house to sing in.
When the chorus girls we're not on
the stage or changing" they stood about
in groups and raised mild objections be-
cause the morning call for the train for
Atchison would get them out at half
past five. and wondered if they would
be able to wake up in time
There was cause for joy though in
the fact that they could get beef
in unlimited quantities at Atcnison, they
said. They had to go to bed thirsty il

Rv Any Superior Merit in Either SO
lOists or Chorus-A Talk With Miss
Morton.
In spite of the advance of prices and
the rainy weather, there was large au-
dience at the Grand last night to see
'.The Fencing Master" All the boxes in
the lower tiers were filed and the audi
ence was fashionable one.
1.-THE Fencing Master" as comic opera
was a disappointment to many Topeka
people who had paid $3.50 for the privi-
lege of hearing it. All the way through
last night there seemed to be an air of
sob, we'll; this is just one night stand"
and the principals didn't worry about ap-
plause or encores.
The chorus was conscientious, but
weak; SO was Fortunio; the rest of the
company had no trouble in breathing.
AS Francesca, Miss Dorothy Morton is
pleasing and is we'll aware OF it. Her
failure to respond to a first encore last
night brought down the wrath of the
gallery on her head and they Kissed her.
Even comic opera star should remem-
Der that there are other people on earth.
Miss Morton is not a great actress. Her
there are people today who dare to criti-
else her voice, though she clearly demon
strated last evening that she had good
strong clear cultivated voice and a more
than ordinary power of vocalization. She
satisfied the audience OF that in her solo
in the second act
Bertha Bayless, as the Countess Phil
lipi, is handsome and sings well.
Jennie DickersoGs as the Marchesi. has
pretty solo in the third act, and sings il
we'll.
David Terrence, as Fortunio, is as good
as the company has. He is a good actor
and good singer.
William Stevens handled the part oil
Guido very well.
Arthur Leiblee, as the leader of the
braves, was careful OF his part
While A. NJ. Holbrook, as the bogus
duke, and Oscar Girard, as his astrologer
are good in their music, there have
been better comedians in Topeka in
comic opera. Their work in comedy is
direct dangle between the buffoonery
in "Erminie" and the higher class oil
comedy, and is nondescript Occasional
| ly it is pleasing though, and the gallery
| called them back after the duet and bal
cony serenade scene in the third act.
There is surprising absence of what
are called 'acatchy airs" in sEThe Fencing
Master" and you don't hear a grea
burst of it among the whistlers of the
street and office today as you did the
