was time, by no means long ago, when
players were pariahs That period has
passed. Mary Anderson had . good deal
TO do with It's passing. This eminent
actress was more distinguished In art
than In womanhood aud she gained uni
versal respect for her private virtues as
well as for her pu bile performances. Daly's 9
Theater has also had much to do with
the change In sentiment about actors.
The marriages OF Edith kinxdon, Vir-
ginia Dreher, May Fielding and Phoe be
Russell TO men OF wealth and social dis
tinction proved beyond cavil that Il was
possible TO be a good actress and q good
woman at the sa me time. Certain Of our
loose-mannered wits frequently make
merry over the system OF paternal gov
ernment adopted at Daly's Theater. Yet
the fact Is that no stock company in
America or Europe has turned out 80
many honest men and women and ac-
complished actors as have been graduated
from this theater during MIR. Days q
years OF management. -.
Miss Helen OrmsDee prima donna OF the
Reeves Opera Company, which lately fin-
ished its season of "Pins;ore" at Crescent
Park, closed with the company August
II, and returned to Boston to resume her
musical work in that city. Beside her IN
dividual concert work, Miss Ormsbee is
first soprano OF the Ladies' Schubert
Quartet, soloist OF one OF Boston's popu-
lar churches, and pupil OF Lyman w.
Wheeler of Boston, and with her voice
and easy, graceful stage presence, and
such conscientious work, she evidently
has fine future. Though Miss Ormsbee
looks rather frail, she stood the season at
Crescent Park well, singing every evening
except Sundays, and two matinees a
week, her voice remaining clear and sweet
notwithstanding the severe tax of the
outdoor work. Miss Ormsbee was quiet
an ideal Josephine.

Evidently the Carnegie Company. has
been restless under the imputations arts
ing from the elbow hole armor and has
been exercising its wits to secure differ
ent sort of Il reputation. And it would
appear from the series of tests afforded
last week that the company had admira-
bly, succeeded. The managers conceived
the idea Of increasing the resistance of the
Harveyized plate by relocating the plate
and MASKING it under the heavy rollers
subsequent TO the process known as the
American surface carbonization. Having
thus toughened the texture of the metal
and reduced to the minimum the internal
strains of the plate they sprayed the face
with ice water to produce the advantages
arising from chilled hardening. Thus
treated a fourteen inch plate underwent
the tests as well as II inch plate. Shots
from the 1O-inch gun failed to penetrate
or crack the plate and that from i2-inch
gun did penetrate the armor but left no
radial fracture. The ordnance experts be-
lieve that a great advance by this process
may be made in tightening the arinor OF
the battlcships without reducing their
efficiency as armor clads.

A Sensible Libel Law.

The Indiana House of Representatives
has passed the libel bill modelled after the
Minnesota law and endorsed by the edi-
torial associations of both parties and
publishers generally The Senate having
passed duplicate of it the bill has now
only to go to the governor for his sigma
ture to become law.
The bill requires that before any suit
shall be brought for libel, the aggrievcd
party SHALL at least three days before filing
the complaint, serve notice on the pub
Usher, specifying the article, and if it
shall appear that the article was printed
in good faith and that its falsity was due
to a mistake or misapprehension, and IL
full and fair retraction made, then the
plaintiff shall recover only actual DANA
ges.
The bill is made so as not to apply to
libel against candidates for public office
providing the retraction is made at least
three days before the election. The bill
provides punishment for such libel,
both Fl ne and imprisonment.
This law is only just. No reputable
publisher desires to publish false state
ments in his paper especially where they
affect character. 1t is nevertheless posi-
BILE that in the rush of daily journalism
and the vast number of sources from
which his news reports must necessarily
come such statements may sometimes
find their way into his columns, and be
copied in perfect good faith by weekly
contemporaries. Nine times out of ten the
person aggrieved will be satisfied by q
prompt correction of the erroneous state
ment, when it is clearly evident that the
publisher acted in good faith in the mat
ter. A law that permits parties unwill-
ing to accept such full and prompt repara-
ton for an unintentional nisstatement,
published without malice and in the be-
lief that it was correct, is unjust to publish
ers and gives lack-mailers opportunities
that they ought not to possess. Any
honorable publisher Who uses due eau
tion and honestly endeavors to do what is
right, and give his readers an accurate
news report, ought not to be held re
sponsible for errors unknOwingly made,
and which he is only too glad to correct
when his attention is called to them. So
general has come to be the recognition,
and so uniform the decisions of the court
upon cases of this character that within
a few years, laws similar to the one just
adopted in Indiana have been passed by a
number of the states of the Union, and
there is reason to believe that the remain
ing states will, within few years, follow
their example in this matter.

CAPT. NICOLAI LEONTIEFF.

A religious struggle rather unique in
its nature is just now attracting attention
to the east coast of Africa. The Eastern
and Western churches have long desired
the conversion of the Ethiopian and just
at the present Rome and Antioch are
pitted against each other to obtain that
end While the Catholics have taken ad-
vantage of the Italian protectorate to
establish a bishopric of Erythrea, the
church of Antioch, represented by the
Russian government, has sent an expedi-
ton laden with presents to King Menelik.
The expedition is commanded by Captain
Nicolai Stephanovitch Leontieff a retired
officer of the Russian Imperial Guard.
Though he is now only about thirty years
of age, he was three years ago sent by his
government in charge of an exploring party
to Central Asia and it is in recognition
of his excellent service then that he is
given the present command. The eXpedi-
ton is charged to undertake scientific
exploration and at the same time to adopt
measures to counteract the Roman
Catholic propaganda.

DR.. and Editor Morse
Finds Great Curative Qualities in a Simple
Remedy.
From westfield, N. j., Leader.)

(From Westfeld, N.J Leader.)
The fact 1.-THE editor of the Leader being
physician of the old school, encourages some
people to ask why we kick quacks and quack-
ers. We do hate charlatans the worst way:
that's fact. But-every proprietary medicine
isn't quack medicine. In some OF them we
believe as devoutly as we do in calomel and
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. 1t has our faith
We know its value. In the laboratory it has
fully approved itself as containing Just those
ingredients which every physician knows the
materia medica to indicate for the disorders
for which the remedy is prescribed. In clint
cal experience its further proof has not been
wanting, as we have reason to know. We
have no hesitancy in saying that we would
prescribe the remedy in any case where it is
really indicated.
DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has
no rival as blood builder and nerve food. 1t
has met with unparalleled success in the
treatment of all diseases of the skin, liver
kidneys and the blood. It restored the disor-
dered liver to healthy condition, and effect
ualiy cures the worst cases of habitual consti-
patton. VI has cured cases of Brght's dis
ease, erysipeas, rheumatism, dyspepsia
gravel diabetes, bladder and urinary troubles
where all else has failed.
1t is a certain cure for all the diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to females, and affords |
great protection from attacks that originate
IN change of life. DIR. Kennedy's Favorite |
Remedy is for sale by all dealers in medicine |
at one dollar bottle or six bottles for five |
dollars: which brings treatment within the
reach OF all.
