An Analogy From Slavery,

When West Indian slavery was abol-
ished, many a planter who had bought
a sugar estate found it worthless. and
many widows and orphans were, for the
public good, deprived of their incomes.
rights of property than the appropri-
alton of land values, for slavery, by
the laws of all nations and the sane
ton of all religions, had been the law
during historic time: but, by the laws
Of all nations, and by the commands OF
all religions. the land was the inalien-
able property of the people. No man
can give perpetuity in land. for no man
can have anymore than a life interest
in it. The practice that has grown up
to the contrary of this is simply toler-
ated, as Feudalism was, SO long as it
appears to be for the general good; but
every student Of law is taught, as
Joshua Williams in his Handbook of
Real Property" says: Land cal not
become private property as chattels
can, and is not subject to the laws of
chattels." We might therefore, fairly
in the interests of the nation, and
those whom the land theft has re.
duced to half their natural term of life,
through TAXATION resume possession
of the value their industry has created.
A land court sits in Ireland and in the
Highlands By the will of the people
it reduces the rents of estates some
times to a figure that does not give one
shilling Of interest to a landlord who
has paid many thousand pounds of his
honest money for the supposed right to
charge a rent that would give him or
binary interest for his capital. The
court only considers the possibility Of
the peasant living-not whether it may
be appropriating a part Of all the pur-
chase money paid by the rash or ignor-
ant person who supposed land was a
chattel and subject only to its laws.
Even the English government will no
allow the country to be depopu.
lated and turned into a desert at the
will of ignorant persons who did not
consider the nature Of the property
they were buying, and the nations In

SHAKESPEARE IN SAN JOSE,
An Open Air Performance Of "As Yor
Like It,"


Like IT."
Moonlight, real trees, real shrubbery, the
sky for roof, the earth for an auditor
ium, the breezes of night to fan ones
cheek withal, these were some of the novel
charms of GAS You Like IT, as rendered
for charity by the local talent of San Jose
last Thursday evening Add to these an
ideal Rosalind supported by cast of more
than usual excellence, and San Jose has
just cause to be proud of her amateurs.
A Shakespearian production, even un-
der the most usual conditions, is some
thing that amateurs had best beware of,
but Shakespeare's daintiest pastoral,
played in the forest itself, and without the
comforting limitations of a traditional
stage, Its exits and its entrances" is an
undertaking indeed-in this instance an
unusually successful one.
This open air performance of GAS You
Like IT. was one of more than ordinary
interest to Callfornians. 1t was the first Of
its kind ever given in the State; yet to the
genius of gifted Californian is due the
origin of this most unique Of all entertain
ments. The successful actress, Miss
Eleanor Calhoun, conceived the idea sew
eral years ago; and at her suggestion and
under her immediate supervision, GAS You
Like It," ''under the greenwood tree"
was produced for the first time in Eng
land at the beautiful country residence of
Lord Archibald Campbell. Lady Camp
bell was the Orlando and Miss Calhoun
herself played Rosalind. By an interest
ing coincidence, the Rosalind of the first
California presentation was Miss Virginia
| Calhoun, talented younger sister of the
noted actress.
| To the performance itself nothing but
praise is due; and to the charming Rosa

| dltlon of this exacting role was character
| lied by perfect ease and grace which
many actresses of experience and reputa-
ton might envy. 1t had none of the crudi-
| ties OF amateur work. 1t was finished and
sustained throughout. All of the best
points were made with telling effect; and
| Miss Calhoun's acting in the fainting scene
was little short of inspiration. Such ex-
i cellent work, even from favorite, was
more than a surprise to the audience
The Orlando was young professional
| with a good voice and some ability who
rendered the rather thankless part with
| considerable force.
Some of the minor parts were particu-
larly well done, noticeably the part of Will

| Americanized young Frenchman whose
conception of the country clown was ex-
cellent and thoroughly Shakespearean
The Touchstone of Mr.. ]. s. McGinnis was

original creation, Mr.. McGinnis never
having witnessed a ShaKespearean per-
Torrance. Mr.. Louis Steiger as Jacques
Mr.. Will F. Squires as Adam, and Miss
Edith Leach as Celia all displayed talent
and originality.
The memory of this moonlit pastoral
under the silent stars of perfect California
night, will long be pleasant one for al
who were fortunate enough to be present

LATEST LONDON SENSATION.
Triumph of 1.-THE Philistines" at the 81
James Theatsr.

Triumph of 1.-THE Philistines" at the st..
James Theater.
The London correspondent to an East
ern paper says: an his new play, The
Triumph of the Philistines,' produced at
the ST. James Theater by Mr.. Alexander,
it must be allowed that Henry Arthur
Jones has shown a certain sort of courage.
He has put upon the stage a female char
acter as completely free from the restraints
of morality, honesty and truth as Iago,
and being female, and, moreover, young
and beautiful girl, the effect is all the more
striking.
"Miss Sally Labrune, a young person of
attractive appearance and mixed parent
age, is an artists model in an art school
which has been established by wealthy
faddist in small provincial town in Eng
land. The civic authorities of the little
town are, as is frequently the case, narrow
minded bigots, quite incapable of ap-
preciating the beautiful in any form,
and having a wholesale hatred of
art as something they cannot under
stand. They determine to abolish the
school, and contrive to get possession
of the lease. At this moment there
arrives young gentleman from the Con-
tinent to succeed to the title and property
of the wealthy faddist, who has recently
died. He wishes to maintain the school,
or studio; they wish to sweep it into the
Ewigkeit Now, they might succeed in
conquering the young Baronet, but they
have also to account with the model, and
she is too much for them. She is not 60
ing to be abolished; not she. She knows
when her bread is buttered on the right
side, and has no intention of returning to
dry crust. So this brazen-faced hussy
singles out the chief man of the town, a
sour, ultraPuritan, a bootmaker, and
makes violent love to him.
-Four months elapse. The studio is
still going concern, and Miss Sally is
still pervading it. She has broken out in
! the most startling garments ever seen out
| side OF an English ballet. She DULLES Jor-
gan-that is the name of the wretched
bootmaker; she hirts outrageously with
the new Baronet and generally sets every
one by the ears"
The denouement is unsatisfactory, and
the plot is an unwholesome one, but it
gives Miss Juliette Nesville, as Lilly, an
opportunity to wear some Respondent
gowns.

a hot summer night will commend itself
to many whose opportunities OF tax
ing exercise are limited, especially
when while skating they can listen to good
music and enjoy smoke or drink if need
be. One of the features OF the New York
summer season is a big ice-skating rink,
which is to be erected near the center of
the city. Kinks of this description have
been successfully opened in Paris. Brus-
sells. Munich and other Continental cities,
and London has lately fallen into line.
The London rink has an area of 10000
square feet. The smooth ice lends itself to
fancy skating, and is free from assures.
1t is only an inch or two in thickness.
The fascination of the grip of the steel blade
on real ice is said to entirely put the roller
skating rink out of court The cool brine
pipes on which the freezing process de-
ponds can be seen through the ice. The
brine is composed of strong solution of
calcium chloride, which is not liable to
freeze, and it rapidly absorbs the heat OF
the water to be solidiied. The ammonia
mpressing machines which are used are
capable of making twelve tons OF ice per
day each. and it is calculated that rink
in everyday use will require refrigeration
equal to the manufacture of about eight
tons of ice daily. In London two prone
ing level with it and the upper fitted as a
smoking lounge with bandstand. In ad-
dition there are clubrooms, readlng-rooms
and cafe.
A Mexican is equal to the occasion.
Every manager of cable roads has haS his
ingenuity frequently tsxed in removing
the immense spools weighing forty<o sixty
tons each, from depot to power-nouse. An
American, travelling recently in Mexico
relates how the burro became an important
factor in the transportation problem, and
his story also illustrates Mexican ingenu
ity in its most highly developed form. Fal
west Of Chihuahua, about nine days
journey, three by stage and six on mule
back, is the hacienda of a remarkable man
whose enterprises have been freely com
mented upon from time to time. His name
is Boss Shepherd, of Washington fame
The smelling business he carries on IN the

features of the country. Near the slnelt
ing works is very rich mine, which ha:

Among the new features at this house

skin is possessed by Artist Clayton, and
the mechanical ingenuity exercised in pre-
senting them can also be credited to Mr..
Clayton. A combination float is used,
which first shows bronze statues; then
transformation occurs, and in their places
marble statues appear. The entire pro-
gramme from start to finish has been ma
