that two newspaper shorthand writers

Midsummer Nights Dream" by Men

At the metropolitan Theater this even
ing Hoyt's Temperance Town" will
be played. 1t is conceded to be his best
work. 1t is an effort above farce comedy.
The piece ran six months at the Park
Iheater, Boston, and even longer in New
ork. We are told that in this play Mr..
Hoyt has dealt in his best comedy vein,
portraylng the trials and tribulations OF
the rum crowd" and the Temperance
crowd in a prohibition town which is
ruled by prohibition laws. The fun is
SAID to be fast aud furious, and no end of
amusement is created. The leaders of the
cast, which is one of the best yet seen in
Hoyts plays, are L. r. StockweIl, Lee
HARRISON, Il. J. Dillon, George Ober, f.
Russell, W. Il. Currie, Claude Brooke,
Miss Anna Robinson, Gertrude Dawes,
Attie Warner and others, all of whom
have acquired a reputation for their in
depreciation of the plays so peculiar to
the Hoyt standard.

Then the committees report, and
tyro would be astonished to learn how
many and how profound a lot OF COM
mlttees an editorial convention can
make use Of. Addresses on various
subjects by editors whose ideas be-
come uncomfortable are permissible
at almost any stage Of the proceedings,
and oftentimes some of the best things
of the convention come out In a spon-
taneous way. Tho election OF officers
for the next year follows.
Then follow resolutions and prize
papers, and general leave takings.
But, hold-somewhere in the pro-
ceedings comes in the report Of the
secretary and treasurer Mr.. A. Q.
Bunnell, man so peculiarly modest
and retiring that he has been kept In
his present position from time i'm
memorial as an example OF what an
editor may become under system OF
special culture. Mr.. Bunnell Is the
patriarch If not the father Of the New
York Press Association, and he is at
present also President Of the National
Press Association. Whether he in
vented press associations or was in
vented by the first association Of the
kind, is a question analogous to that
other famous inquiry, "Which-the
Lady or the Tiger" He has now
reached the summit of his ambition
and no editor can expect to gain more
honor among his brethren, but as Sec
retary of the New York Press Associa-
tion and a missionary in the cause OF
editorial relaxation his career has still
a bright and promising future before
it.
One might be excused for thinking
that the programme here briefly outlin-

ed would readily occupy all the spare
time that the sojourn at Lake George
could afford. Not so-huite the con-
trary. There will be royal entertain
ment and royal good fellowship. The
Horizon Company has programme Of
excursions, concerts, dancing, ban
quets, etc., that opens to the assembled
guests the possibilities of excessive
epicurean enjoyment, but there is no
danger of over-indulgence. Editors al
ways behave hemselves--especially as
each one carries a quill behind his ear
and bottle of ink in his pistol pocket,
and always has a weather eye on the
doings of his esteemed contempor-
aries" The most dangerous place in
the world for any cutting up" is an
editorial convention.
There is every reason to believe that
the thirty-ninth annual convention of
the New York State Press Association
Will be the most notable in its history.

CncIeRnliness Is Dangerous,

The reason why the idea OF un-
cleanliness was associated with the
idea of dangerousness was. In my
opinion, because uncleanness was
thought to be the enemy Of the gods,
and the gods can not be where any
uncleanness exists. The gods are
clean and pure, and those who are not
clean and pure cannot but forfeit the
protection of the gods. Those who
are not protected by the gods can
easily be attacked and injured by the
evil and unclean spirits, and hence the
idea of danger came to be associated
with the idea of uncleanness. This is
perhaps made palmer by some con-
crete case When | was boy, the
custom of eating beef began to spread.
AS blood was regarded as unclean,
and also as Japan had been a strong
agricultural country, there was a very
deep-rooted disinclination to eat beef.
In this, Of course, one has also to re-
cognize the influence of the vegetarian
principle of Buddhism. But to any
body who had ever tasted beef, It was
so delicious that he could hardly con-
troll his natural appetite by his rellg-
ious scruple. My father was one of
la4pot W ~ tAA4NM lN5 ldolc, anu 81 now
and then we used to treat ourselves
to beef. But where did we eat 1t?
We did not eat 1t inside OF the house.
We cooked and ate 1t in the open air,
and in cooking and in eating we did
not use the ordinary utensils but used
the special ones kept for the purpose.
Why all these things? Because beef
was unciean, and we did not like to
spread this uncleanness into our house
wherein the "gods-shelf" is kept, and
into our ordinary utensils which might
be used In making offerings to the
gods. The day when we ate beef my
father did not offer lights to the gods
nor say evening prayers to them, as
he did usually, for he knew he was
unclean and could not approach the
gods. Then rny mother, who did
not and could not eat beef till
very recently, did these things; and
/, who used to partake Of the new
dainty dish, often went to bed feeling
as If I was unclean and subject to
dangers.--N. KishimOto, In the Po-
Dular Science Monthly.

where a three-days convention will
be held in the Court House. While
at Lake George the association will
be the guests Of the Horizon Improve
ment Company, at the Lake House.
The public, interested in all kinds
OF news, will be interested in knowing
just what an editorial convention is
like. So far we have had only the
preliminarles-the entrees" to the
feast, as IT were. An editorial con-
Vention OF the genuine New York lypC
is mingled round of SAGE practical
business and social festivi'y. The
editors meet TO exchange ideas. 70
brush up on the latest points affecting
their business, and TO enjoy them
selves IN the company of their wives,
daughters and friends.
The convention always opens with
an address by the President. and this
year that duty will be performed by
Mr.. John A. Sleicher, gentleman
well-known 10 the profession both in
the State and country at large Mr..

servers that Olney has had a pretty

There is no doubt that there will be
strong influences brought to bear TO
secure change Of policy in the At

lieved that President Cleveland fully
approves OF the conservative policy
that has been approved, and will not
appoint a man out of harmony with
the settled policy of the Administra-
ton.
The breaking out of war between
Japan and Formosa Is attracting no
little attention in diplomatic circles.
The japanese Government has shown
no hesitation in taking advantage Of
all its rights under the recent treaty
of peace with China. 1t Is believed
here that the Russian Government has
stirred up the opposition in Formosa
to the Japanese occupation. There is
a sentiment among well-informed OBJ
servers that Russia and Japan have
now become natural rivals for the
control of affairs in Eastern Asia and
that sooner or later they must come
IN conflict.
The Eastern war has resulted in
placing the United States Government
in rather a peculiar position. We
have always enjoyed exceptionally
pleasant relations with the Russian
autocracy. We have also cultivated
the most amiable relations with ia
pan. and the attitude Of the Mikado's
Government towards us is al present
one OF exceptional friendliness. Rus
sia has always looked upon us as q
possible rival and enemy to Great
Britain under certain circumstances,
while Japan regards US as the fore
most of civilized nations and her tu-
tor and mentor In the art Of eXchang-
ing harbar!sm for civilization. The

ADMIRAL DA CANA, who figured be-
fore the eyes of the world as the leader
of the Brazilian rebels, has finally COM
mitted suicide, to the great relief of the
present Brazilian administration.
which feared and hated him for his
uncompromisng hostility to army and
navy abuses. He was an able officer
in the Brazilian navy, and when it re-
VOTED he was unanimously asked to
take command. The government tri-
ed in every way, il is said, to buy him
off, and offered him the enormous sum
of S2,O00,O00 to betray his troops to the
commander of the government forces
at Rio. But Da CANA was true to the
cause he had chosen and refused to sell
out his friends. The reports of his
death. which are undoubtedly true, but
are tinged with certain vagueness as
to where and when he committed sui
eide, rather lead one to believe that
his enemies know more than they care
to acknowledge.
