LOOKS DARK FOR DURRANT.
Witnesses Testify of His Movement the
Afternoon of April 9TH.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18 As the
trial of Theodore Durrant progresses
strong evidence is being put up against
the defendant. The testimony intro
duced relative to Durrant's where.
abouts on the afternoon of April Ath is
contradictory to his statement on the
night of his arrest that he had not seen
the murdered girl after he left her on
the way to school the morning Of
the Sd.
Martin Qainlan, an attorney, yester-
day supplied another link, testifyiDg
that he saw Durrant and a young lady
walking on the street toward Emanuel
church about 4:1O p. M, April Sd. The
defense tried to impeach his reliability
and managed to get before the jury a
statement that Quinlan had twice been
arrested for assault to murder and
once for another crime.
The court severely ~reprimanded the
defendants attorneys. who were
obliged to admit to the jury that Quin-
Ian had been acquitted on each charge.
David Clarke, who accompanied Quin-
Ian, then cOrroborated all QuinlaE ,ed
said regarding Durrant.
Mrs-Caroline Leake, the neg t wit
ness, took Durrant and his girl COM
paniOn up to the door of Emanuel
church. She was positive she saw
Durrant enter the church with afemale
companion April Sd. She has known
him for years and could not be mis-
taken. CrOss-eXaminatlOn failed to
weaken her testimony.

Lightning Injuries Five Persons in an
Illinois Church.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Sept 18 Lightning
struck the Hoisington church, q few
miles east of this city, while special
services were being conducted lest
evening, and but for a premonition of
danger on the part of the pastor, would
have doubtless killed many of the con-
gregation. AS it was, the bolt left the
following injured: Mrs. John johnson,
badly burned; Mrs. Henry Stanley,
severely burned; two children, IN
known, badly shocked, and Mrs. OAR
win Whitney, badly burned.
The pastor from his pulpit saw g
heavy storm coming ard he cut his SER
mon short, bidding his hearers depart
for their homes as quickly as possible.
Almost the first bolt of lightning struck
the steeple and descended tim6ers and
flooring to the ground beneath. Men,
women and children we're thrown from

No More wild Men In BOrneO.

Lammerts Van Beuren, manager Of
one Of the great tobacco plantations in
British North Borneo. came over from
Japan on the Belgic and is on his way
to his native country, Holland The
plantation Of which he has charge COW
ers about 10. 600 acres.
Mr.. Van Beuren states that, contrary
to the general impression abroad, Bor-
neO is a safe place for foreigners to do
business in. The native race. though pi-
ratical in its dealings with Chinese, is,
ON the whole, friendly TO the whites.
The only industrial work the aborigines
do is TO raft bamboo and rattan down
the rivers FOR the use Of the estates. The
most civilized class among them are the
Dyaks, who used to be head hunters, but
are now Of some use TO the British gov
erLment in the local military service.
Work on the plantation is done by the
Chinese, Malays and Javanese.
In the intervals Of tobacco farming
Mr. Van Beuren does a good deal Of
hunting, and his description Of the game
resources Of Borneo will be Of interest
to sportsmen- There are plenty Of rhi-
noceri, Of which he has killed seven, and
Of wild cattle, Of which he has shot over
so. The ourang outang and a long nosed
monkey peculiar 70 Borneo abound.
There are also elephants in the north

Fish SLAUGHTER.

Of splendid sturgeon, and after strip

BY Hawthorne, Alcott, Curtis. Dana and

the psychic life Of America greater than
how SO many young enthusiasts Of like

themselves here so or more years ago
They were all, apparently, disciples Of

Wonderful that while knowledge

what women have suffered so long to
win, once won they should cease TO

removed from the gentle domestic ami
nal she knows today. However the
modern woman may swagger about her

ual needs" and deplore the stupid tyr
amy Of man, who demands sacrifices
from her in return for his tenderness,
protection and support, the fact is not
changed that however much she may
be mans Intellectual equal or spiritual
superior the exigencies Of motherhood
put her at his mercy. She cannot be en-
tirely self dependent except at the cost
Of the welfare Of the offspring. The fac
tory acts are a recognition Of the right
Of the child TO its mothers health and
vitality. Woman simply may not eat
her cake and have it too. Using all her
energies for her own needs she cannot
give vigor TO her children. If she en-
ploy for her own ends her store Of life,
she robs the child. To adequately sup
ply the new generation with health,
brains and nerve she must husband her
resources and yield herself to the gener-
Osity and tenderness Of the man and

been generous and tender, that he is not
always so even now, does not alter the

WHY IRVING WAS KNleHTEO.
According to an English Writer He Die
tated to the Government Its Duty.

Scarcely had VI. Daudet. with true
Partisan provinciahsm. complained that
we had presumed to lay the bones Of
great actors in Westminster abbey along
side those Of members Of his profession
than our reply comes in the announce
ment that henceforth the leading actor
IN England shall have a title ike the
presidents Of the academies Of music
and painting. This act Of justice has
not been "graciously conferred - II has
been resolutely demanded and enforced
bv an artist 70 whose profession it means
a social charter OF some value. Every
actor in the kingdom will profit by this
knighthood more than Henry Irving,
and that is why it was a really fine
thing Of him to insist on having 1t.
II should be especially noted that it Is
solely as actor and manager that he has
won the position from which he has
been able 10 dictate 10 the government
its duty 10 his art. He has rendered no
services TO literature. His whole career
Is in that respect an almost schoolboyish
confession that be does not know htera-
r. chalk from literary cheese. Stevenson
or Oxenford. Goethe or Wills, Shake
speare or Frank Marshall-it would be
fattering him to say that they are all
one to him, for there is the strongest
evidence TO suggest that he decidedly
prefers Oxenford, Wills and Marshall
He has never written play, though
he has spoiled several Nor has he, like
Mrs. Kendall, followed the prevailing
fashion Of parading the virtue Of his
domestic life in order to gain fireside
appreciation. He does not NEEDLE in i'm
perial politics nor discuss municipal af-
fairs except on the point strictly ger
name 10 his own business Of a munich
pal theater. He is only the acknowledge
ed chief Of his profession Take that
away from him. and the name Of Henry
Irving has no longer a meaning. That
is WHY his victory over an unjust preju-
dice and a snobbish tradition is so COM
plete. No one can separate his distinc-
ton from his specific art, except by go
ing behind his skill as an actor to those
personal qualities by which men gain
pre-eminencs in all professions. Lon

..rhe SCARLET Letter pramatI1ed.

Our recent plays are mainly taken
from French sources, and an attempt is
often if vainly made TO retain their
dramatic effect and to exclude that
treatment which makes the essence Of q
French work written for French au-
diences. Plays seem often TO be vamped
up for long run and for a short life, in
the higher sense Of dramatic life We
also frequently adapt novels, mostly Of
a melOdramatic character, for the stage.
One pregnant instance may suffice
1.-The Scarlet Letter" has been presented
with happy ending" Oh. shade Of
injured Hawthorne! A very fine nara
tive which depends upon psychological
analysis cannot well be made into a
good drama Action is so much coarser
than thought that the morbid pathology
Of story of passion, guilt and sorrow,
with every motive dissected and every
character analysed, becomes a mere COM
monplace adultery and very ordinary
melodrama.
Hawthorne is to be read, not seen.
His power consists in analytical study
and his fine essence escapes the realism
Of the stage That which is left for act
ing is the mere residuum, the vile body,
Of his delicate, almost superSubtle con-
ception he is a great author, but not
an essentially dramatic one. His method
escapes the acting drama A playwright
who would deal with THE Scarlet Let
ter" should not attempt to dramatize
the novel, but should treat it as Shake
speare used the chronicles Of Bakl or
Of Holinshed. The work should me ely
suggest TO the dramatist certain iAci-
dents and characters. Gentleman s
