THE THEATER HAT

No political party has been brave or
enterprising enough to include in its
platform a plank denouncing the OBJ
jectionable "theater hat" Two states
of the union, Ohio and Louisiana, have,
however, effected legislation which pro-
scribes the wearing of distractions to
vision in theaters. 1t is not, perhaps,
a question with which our legislators
need bother, but II the good taste and
graciousness Of women playgoers are
not offended by sitting in the theater
with enormous picture hats, which prove
a perpetual annoyance to those in their
rear, is it not time that the theater
manager should interfere?
A San Francisco manager has been
bold enough to attempt to, solve the
problem by instructing his ushers to
hand to every woman wearing an OBJ
jectionable hat the following notice:
The management sincerely regrets
any personal annoyance this may cause
you, but must respectfully request that

AS TO MACY STREET.

Editor Herald: I desire through the
columns of your valuable paper to in
quire why it is that the Eighth ward
is Disseminated against in the matter
of public improvements. Why is it that
we cannot have a sufficient number of
street lamps. and why is it that GER
tain street railway company can tear
UP Macy street, one of our principal
thoroughfares, with the alleged idea
of constructing a street RAILROAD some
time during the next century,. Can It
be that our part of the city is without
the proper kind Of representation In
our municipal legislative body?
These are conditions which some one
is certainly responsible for, and every
citizen should inquire into matters Of
such grave Importance.

IN the Egn massacre. More women and
children In proportion seem TO have sur
fercd this fate than IN any previous massa-
ere. Many OF the dead were left In the
streets for days as food for dogs, and
large numbers were thrown into the Eu-
pirates. The bodies have been seen float
ing down the river 40 or 90 miles below the
city. In some cases whole families have
been oblterated. Exact statistics, Of
course, cannot be given, but Il IL feared
thrt 1900 ~ an under estimate. This is n

OF between 5000 and COCO Christians There
were l.I00 houses and OF these IL Is said
only about $50 are left. This carnage OF
blood and IRE lasted from Tuesday, the 18th
TO Thursday. the nth. All the testimony
concurs In showing that the massacre was
official. and that IL was wholly without
reason. There was no disturbing element
except m the imaginatOns OF "a few OIL
