ROMEO AND JULIET.
The Matinee Girl Found It Dull and Not
 Up to the Times.

The Matinee Girl Found It Dull and Not Up to the Times.
 "Did I go to the matineef" said the blond girl with the red ribbons on her hat to her companion in the street car. "Yes, did, and it was the most tiresome thing I ever sat through. Yes, it WAS Romeo and Juliet I've heard great deal about Shakespeare plays, but never saw one before, and I don't care ever to see another. Why, there's nothing funny In it. Classical? Oh, I suppose so, but I tell you Shakespeare was not up to the modern ideas of what makes Q good play. His plays ought to be rewritten and a lit- tie more fun thrown into them.
 "Why, l noticed several places where they might have rung in a modern idea or two and made a great improvement. For instance, there was that dance that they do in the early part of the piece. Now, how much prettier 1t would be to have a ballet come on instead, or if they were go- ing to have one of those slow, poky old dances, why couldn't they have turned on different colored hghtss Then there was that balcony scene, where Romeo and Juliet throw kisses and talk gibberish at each other. Now, that would have been real funny if they had had comedian hiding behind the shrubbery watching
 
 And then at the end of the piece, where Romeo kills Juliet's other lover and takes poison, and then she wakes up and stabs herself-that was horrible It made one's flesh creep. l can't otssr to see such things And to think of their ringing down the curtain on it and making that the end of the piecel If I'd been Shakespeare, I would have added another scene, in which they all come to life again and have a nice wedding march. Or, if they could not do that, it seems to me the people who stage the play might have the two torch bearers who retire to the wings while Romeo and the other lover fight their duel do a wing dance at the side of the stage. just dote on wing dances. Then the people who did not like to see the horrid part would not have to wtach it. They could watch the wing dance. And the people who like death scenes could watch them, and so ev- erybody would be pleased. Don't you think sof'-Buffalo Express.

Fireman Duncan Hurt.

Fireman Duncan, of engine No.
2 fire company, met with pain
full accident last evening, which
will incapacitate him from service
for some time. He was exercising
the engine horses, riding one and
leading the other and had just
turned from Third street into Ave-
uue G, on his way to the engine
house from a brisk canter, when
the horse he was leading suddenly
whirled about and pulled Duncan
and his saddle off. Duncan's head
struck a sharp rock in the street
and a bad wound in the back of his
head was made. One of his
thumbs was also broken in the
fall.
The horses ran away but were
soon captured on Taylor street,
while the injured man was re-
moved to Mrs. Duffey's boarding
house, on West Commerce street
and DR.. Menger summoned.

BOATING.
Our large lake Is a placid sheet
To pleasure seekers given,
Who oft use our row-boat fleet,
Or swift by sails are driven.
And those who over the water glide
While evening breezes cool them,
Laugh oft as they sit side by side,
Because they say, 1--WE fool them"
Then murmurs heard from many
lips
"over the waves" to echoing
shore,
Till the boat begins to dip,
Whisper love, and nothing more.

Union Miners Fight Continues.

IsHPEMING, Mich, Sept. TO-
Thirty-four men who were sent to
Negaunee by a Chicago agency,
left the leader upon arriving here
this morning and joiued the strik-
ers. The Champion mine, 20 miles
west Of here resumed work yester-
day with 80 men. One company
of troops is stationed at the mine
but will probably withdraw to-
morrow. The Buffalo mine super
intendeuts report that their proper
ties at Negaunee will probably
be closed for the winter. This is a
non bessmer producer, employing
about 400 men and the principal
support of Negaunee. The strike

fight is still for the recognition OF
the union.

The larger horse, whose left fore

The leg is swollen to twice its

CENTRAL AMERICAS.
SENIOR GOMEZ SPEAKS CONCERNING
FEDERATION.
Nicaragua, San Salvador and Hon
duras Sign the Agreement
of Union.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Further
particulars of the movement for
Central American Union have
been obtained from Senior Jose ID.
Gomez, the Nicaragua statesman,
who as the special minister from
the president of Nicaragua to the
other Central American states,
conducted the preliminary nego-
tiations which led to the under
standing now arrived at. Senior
Gomez arrived in New York sew
eral days ago and has been stop
ping with friends here. From
here he will go to Washington in
a day or two to pay his respects to
the Nicaraguan minister. He says
that he is in the United States
solely on private business.
In an interview he said: '"The
confederated arrangement to
which Nicaragua, San Salvador
and Honduras have just COM
mitted themselves and which it is
expected Guatemala and Costa
Rica will also assent to-" said
Senior Gomez, sis primarily in the
interest of maintaining peace
throughout Central America and
promoting civilization and pro-
gress in the five republics. The
substantial and intelligent citi-S
zens of all these countries are
heartsick of revolutions which
have been so frequent in the past
and have retarded development,
wasted our resources and discredit-
ed us in the eyes of the world.
Everybody who has visited Cen
trail America or made study of
conditions there knows that ours
is materially one of the richest
and fairest regions of the globe,
which ought to compare favombly
with another foreign population
in prosperity and advancement.
But the population of Central
America is not much in excess of
l3,000,000, including natives and
other inferior races, and it's back
wardness is lamentable in various
material respects.
But what FASTENED the agree
ment for union and was probably
the determining factor in bringing
it to pass at this time, was the
arbitrary action of England in the
Corinto affair, several months ago.
That was a striking object lesson
of the weakness of the Central
American states, unaffected by for
eign aggression, and the union for
defense which we are now inaugu-
rating is the direct outgrowth of
it. Last year l was sent by the
president of Nicaragua, General
Don j. Santos Zealaya, as special
minister to the Central American
republics to present to their gov
ernments propositions in behalf Of
a treaty of union. / received fair
encouragement, but before my
mission was completed the events
growing out of England's claim on
Nicaragua transpired and / was
summoned home. President Zela-
va thereupon decided that the time
was ripe for Immediate action and
without waiting for the results Of
my negotiations to develop in the
ordinary course he issued an in
vitation to all the Central Ameri-
can residents to meet at Amalpa,
the capital of Honduras. General
Bomilla, president of Honduras,
and General Gutierrez, president of
Salvador, responded favorably and
the three presidents accordingly
met in conference at Amalpa in
July. The result of their delibera-
lions was the treaty, the details of
which have already been printed"

OUR P"SITION.


1t is earnestly hoped that all readers
of HE DISPATCH will pardon its tenn
porary editor for giving utterance to a
few words of personal nature, and
especially SO as but few of the readers
Of The DISPATCH are acquainted with
the writer. 1t is desirable that few
words be said because of the intensity
of the conflict that is now in progress
| in Utah, and that had the poison of
| discomfort injected into it by members
of the republican party that are deter
mined to achieve victory in this Cam
palgn regardless of the means by which
it may be obtained,
More than a year ago, while editing
a paper in southern Utah, the writer.
in plain and unmistakable language
pointed out the peculiar relationship
| that exists between the rank and file
of the Church of Jesus Christ OF Lat
ter-day Saints and their leaders, and
of the incongruous exhibition that is
pre5eDted by apostles and other high
churchmen taking the political stump,
and while posing on Sundays as re-
igious brother of ali the people, to as
sail the political beliefs Of more than
halt their audiences on week days.
The injustice such course would
entail on those of the opposite political
| faith was also indicated.
Another reason why high church
men ought not to take the stump was
also pointed out, and is the grayest and
most dangerous of them all, 1t was
conclusively shown that it was only a
question OF time before apostolic
stumpins would result in a revolt OF
the people, such as has now taken
place, and the end whereof no man
knoweth.
In the strife going on, and the Grim
in progress, the faith of thousands, of
young men III the divine mission of
so-called M0rmonism, is ebbing land the
faith of Thousands OF those who once
seemed as strong as the rock of ages, Is
being strained to the uttermost. Under
such conditions, plain and unmistak-
able language should not only be toll
Grated, but becomes positive neces
slty. And such language will be used,
and there will be hewing to the line
and no thought given as to where the
chips may fly.
We do most emphaticaliy insist that
high churchmen keep off the stump
and out of politics to the end that the
angel of peace may once more hover
oyer a distracted people. To this end
we propose to devote our best energies
without fear as to the result.
In this struggle, We ask our readers
to remember that the writer was born
among this people, that his hopes for
the pres INT and fuGure are identical
with theirs, and that however harsh
some of the rebukes and criticisms
may appear, it Is from one whose every |
heart throb is for The triumph of truth. |
