ton in this play without distortion and
without caricature. Fun is not made
of virtue. goodness is not sneered at
nor, upon the other hand, is there any
preaching or plattudinous moral dis
course. We simply and clearly see be-
fore us motives that are good
and motives that are evil; nat
ural motives, naturally actuating
natural men and women, and they
interest us and fascinate us and, as
should be, thrill and inspire us.
The evolution of real dramatist is
proceeding rapidly in the personality
OF Daniel l.. Hart.
We counsel him to be patient and
earnest. If he has one fault above an
other, it is that of personal unfamiliar
ity with the depths of human emotion.
Would it be cruel to wish to this young
man, in his career of gayety and vi
vacious prodigality of animal spirits
would it be cruel, | wonder, to wish for
him great sorrow? Such an expert
enee might cut deep at the time, but /;
would give to the American drama q
new creator; 1t would remove the one
thing from his pathway which
threatens his future-the obstacle of
insincerity. 1t would make him pa
tient and earnest. Within his grasp Is
the opportunity to do work which will
live in the annals of his profession
work that shall enrich him not only In
dollars-however acceptable, they-but
enrich him also in the esteem of cul-
tured and appreciative fel!ow-men and
women; in the regard which Is paid

PRAYER FOR CONTENT.

Dear Lord, to Thee my knee is bent;
Give me content
Full-pleasured with what comes to me-
Whater II be:
A humble roof, n frugal board,
And simple hoard;
The wintry fagot piled beside
The chimney wide,
While the enwreathing flames upsprout
And twine about
The brazen dogs that guard my hearth
And household worth
Tinge with the embers ruddy glow
The rafters low:
And let the sparks snap with delight,
As fingers might
That mark deft measures OF some tune
The children Groom:
Then, with good friends, tine rarest few
Thou holdest true,
Ranged round about the blaze, to share
My comfort there;
Give me to claim the service meet
That makes each seat
A place Of honor, and each guest
Loved as the rest.

WELSH NEWS NOTES.

The Welsh Baptists have nine and the
Independents ten periodicals published In
the Welsh language.
The Calvinistic Methodists have 2i,OOG
members in Glamorganshre, and the In
dependents about 10000
There are more Baptists in Glamorgan-
shire than in any other county in Great
Britain. Their number is 4l,i29
According to Mr. Ed Edwards, Aberys-
twyth, q certain Bala mans prayer was
that he might be kept from speaking too
harshly of the Devil, lest he should have
to go TO live with him some day.
One of the least satisfactory-though no
doubt necessary form which the Welsh
national movement is taking Is an agita-
ton for u greater supply of Welsh reli-
gious literature in our prisons.
In America there are 1856 Welsh Calvin
istic Methodist churches, with 1900 COM
municants and 25,OOo adherents. In Aus
tria the are four churches with mem-
bership of 337 and in Patagonia men,
bership of oil in six churches.
More Welshmen attained to high posi-
tions in the state in the sixteenth century
than at any other period, though the pop
ulation of Wales was under a quarter of
a million. The Cecils, Herberts, Crom.

The most nomadic people in Wales are
those of Radnor. The last census shows
that more than one in four of the inhabit.
ants are immigrants, while over one-hali
of those born in Radnor have left their
homes for England or elsewhere. This
explains why Welsh has ceased to he
spoken in Maesyfed.
This is how Cynalaw reminded the Rev.
ID. Phillips. of Swansea, an old minister
who, though In his eighty-third year, Is
still hale and hearty, and able to preach,
that his appointment was at Briton Ferry

falls on Dec 81, and used to be great

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Sept. 5.-A horrible
accident occurred at the state fair grounds
yesterday afternoon. The west tower on
the great machinery hall, which is now
being rooted, collapsed and fell in, bury

Charles Hobson, a plumber, of Lincoln.

several tons of brick and morter. The
injured are: Fred Reed, carpenter, badly
mashed, y. Williamson, carpenter, both

about the back; John Gethard, carpenter,
cash cut in his head; Charles Brownell,

Caused by the Hard Rain.
Neither building nor tower was braccd,
but whether this caused the accident Is
not known. 1t is the general opinion that
the hard rain looscned the mortar which
had not time to dry, work having been
rushed on the building in order to have it
romplctcd in time for the fair. and that
this caused the accident. Old brickmasons
say there is some danger of the east tower
of the building falling also. The James
Westwater company, of Columbus. O.. has
the contract for the building. The loss
will amount to several thousand dollars.
a temporary roof will be put on where the
new one was torn off by falling debris, so
the building can be used for the fair.
LATEE.-It has been learned that an
other must be added to tire death list.
James Parkc, of this city, a plumber, was
also buried in the debris and killed. He
had been married only about two weeks.
