Press Courtesy.

"a New York Success "-Abuse Of
Press Courtesy.
The United States is broad and busy
country, and it is we'll supplied with ex-
cellent journals, says the Forum. AS Is
natural and unavoidable, these gener-
ally take their tone in treating dra-
matte affairs from those of the metropo-
lis. What Is said and done in New
York about plays and actors Is publish
ed all over the union as quickly as the
wires and press can spread the news
Consequently the theatrical business OF
the entire country is managed from
New York. That Is why actors, mall
ayers and the minor personages OF
stage life flock to New York. That iS
why for many years past it has been
possible for the willy speculator in rot
ten dramatic lumber to set up flimsy
stage structure, held together only by
the adhesive qualities of paint and
printers ink, and-by keeping New
York theater open and empty for Its
exhibition for q stated term Of weeks
at the expense Of $1,000 or $4,000 q
week, and by a continual pestertng OF
the good-natured journalistic obtain
a sufficient amount Of notice Of his
"great New York success!' to enable
him to travel throughout the country
with his "show," and gather rich har-
vest from those who are eager to see
what sort Of plays please the people of
the great city.
OF course the "show" soon falls to
pieces from the weight of Its own
worth1essness, and the seeds of general
contempt for New York's good taste
In theatrical matters are sown broad
cast. But no matter. The enterprising
speculator, now well in funds, returns
to New York and is soon upon the full
tide of another like venture. Year af-
ter year this sort of thing goes on. But
the people of the East, South and West
are becoming wise and wary. The
business is not so good now as Ii
once was in those often-deluded Sec
tions. One of the roots of our theatri1
cal troubles upon which the ak should
fall quickly and sharply is this abuse
of the press courtesy-frst extended in
good nature toward the struggling ar
tist, but now demanded as right by
the brass band "show boomer"

TO MAKE JULY 4 A HOLIDAY.

Representative Mercer Says It Is Legally
So Only In the District of Columbia.
Representative Mercer has introduced in
the house bill to make the Fourth of
July national holiday.
AT first my bill may seem odd, " said
Mercer, because the general superstition
prevails that the Fourth of July is legal
holiday. However, the facts are that the
United States congress never enacted but
one law to make the Fourth of July q
holiday, and that related wholly to tho
District of Columbia and did not even in
ciude the territories. It is legal holiday
by the enactment of most of the states, but
it is not a national holiday, because con-
greSs never made it SO. It's observance
sprang into general use through spontane-
GUS patriotism of the people. The Puri-
tans, who at one time made their influence
felt ALI over this country, did not believe
in holidays. as we understand them. They
thought it was too much Of a concession to
the spirit of levity, and the early congresses
may have been influenced by that senti-
ment. At all events, so far as my re-
searches go, there is now no act on the
statute books under which the glorious
Fourth can be construed into a national
holiday, and to correct this omission
have introduced my bill '-Washington

RUSSIA'S GTEAT RAILWAY.
Reasons why Siberia Is Being Trave-scd
by . Government Line.

Reasons why Siberia Is Being Trave-scd
by = Governmeat Line.
Siberia is a Russian Canada, larger
and more populous, and, like Canada, it
has great future before it. 1t is very
rich in gold, while there are whole hills
of graphite (black lead) and lapis la
zuli; coal can be picked up on the very
road near Nerchinsk, there is silver in
the same district, there are rich mines
of iron near Nikolaefsk. Siberia, like
Canada, is rich in fish. On the Amur
river was told that 100000 puds of
the kita fish have been caught within a
few weeks in August, when the fish as
cend the rivers, the pud (pood) being
forty pounds. That means 5000 900
pounds of fish. In the Khabarofka
museum is a stuffed ka1uga fish, weigh
ing thirty puds, er, 1900 pounds, caught
in the Amur. The Russians have been
struck by the fact that the prosperity
of Canada and it's productive activity
have grown, and continued to grow
with a rapidity which appears to US
(Russians) miraculous, and by us inim-
liable, just from the date of the compile
ton of the Canadian Pacific railway
from the Pacific to Atlantic ocean" Il
quote from an official report in Rus
sian.) In 1889 they deputed two engi-
neers to observe the Canadian line and
its conditions and results. Attention
in Russia was drawn to the fact that
Canada, a country then of 4,000, 900 peo-
pie, had, by its own resources, without
any pecuniary help from outside, con-
nected the two oceans by an iron road
4,500 versts e, 600 miles, long, over very
difficult and expensive ground for
building, in the short space of four
years; that the energetic population of
Canada, 100000 in 1871, and only in
creased to 100000 in 1881, reached
5000, 900 year or two after the first
through train passed Winnipeg in 1886;
and the quantity of grain carried in
Canada had increased from 300 81 tons
in 1886 to 900 tons in 1888; that in
places without population there had
risen seven new towns, such as Van
couver, founded only in 1886, and hold
ing 900 inhabitants in 1891. 1t was
made known to Russia that compared
with those of the Canadian railway, the
technical condition of the building Of
the Siberian railway were incompar-
ably more favorable, and that the cost
of the latter should not be over IS per
cent of the cost of the Canadian Pa
cific.''

cal prisoners in English jails.

rors which the political prisoners were
forced to endure in English prisons,

Fitzgerald as the speaker of the eve
ming On the platform besides Judge

Resolved, That we, the citizens of
this great repu bic, composed of every
nationality in public meeting assem-

restoration to liberty of all men incar-
cerated in British prisons for offenses
against British domination in Ireland;
that we believe these prisoners are
entitled to such liberty by the usage

civiiiza ton and that Great Britain by
delaying it places herself without the
pale of honorable considera ton; and
Whereas. Among the prisoners there
are a number of American citizens; be

Ending Small Planets.

DR.. Max VOLTS method of detecting
minor planets by photography is de-
scribed in a recent number of Nature
He uses a six-inch portrait lens OF thir-
ty inches focal length in his telescope.
which gives him field of about seventy
square degrees. To make sure that the
trails of the planets are not defects in
the plates, two photographs of each re-
gion are taken with an exposure Of two
hours. A positive and negative are
put together with the films in contact
where the trails appear as continual
ton of each other. Another method is
to look at the photograph through a
stereoscope, the planet then appearing
in relief. DR.. Wolf has never looked
through the telescope at any of the
many planets he has discovered by the
Photographic method.

TERRIFIC HEAT IN AUSTRALIA.

That Continent Visited by an Unexanpled
Hot Spell.
News received from Australia says that
during the first two weeks OF January the
heat in New South Wales surpassed any
thing on record The temperature in
Sydney reached 10 degrees in the shade,
while in several parts Of the colony the
mercury registered 1873 degrees in the
shade In other colonies the heat was not
quite SO severe, but throughout Victoria
the mercury reached over 100 degrees, and
in South Australia in some places IL
marked lit degrees in the shade
In western New South Wales great NOR
tally has resulted. At Bourke % deaths
from heat occurred in two days. Many OF
the houses on sheep ranches are made OF
galvanized iron, and in these the heat is
insufferable. Many settlers have been
driven from their homes by bush fires,
which always occur when the grass is
dried up. In other districts water has
given out, and stock is dying.
In large vineyard district the young
grapes were cooked on the vines. In sgd
ney it was found necessary to suspend ON.
nibus and carriage traffic and to omit drill
in the barracks. In the golddelds in the
western part of the colony horses dropped
dead while hauling ore and birds fell
dead out of the trees, overcome by tho
fierce heat. To add to this suffering, the
high temperature was accompanied by hot
winds.-New York Sun.

A farm laborer died recently in Ly-

wages while he could work were $3.50
a week, as he never rose above work
ing bailiff and cowman. He was able
to work till he was 70, when he had
saved no less than $1,000. On this he
managed to live for twelve years longer
with little help from his former en-
ployer; then, as he outlived his savings,
he had to be relieved by the poor law

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
A Californian to Try It in the San
Joaquin Valley.

A Canfornkau Go Try 1t In the San
Joaquin Valley.
Col. Charles F. Croker is going to
start a coffee plantation down in the
San Joaquin valley, and if his expert
ment proves successful the fertile
ranches tbereabouts will have a boom,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The
Pacific Mail company's steamer San
Juan, which arrived last Sunday.
brought from Central America 1000
yearling plants, with which Col. Crock
er will commence his interesting ven
ture. The plants were carefully select
ed by Samuel Howe, Col. Crocker's
agent, who died on board the steamer
Dec. 1, but the object for which he
made the trip has been accomplished,
and the collection of plants, which per-
haps cost him his life, was landed here
safely and will be taken in charge by
Col. Crocker's gardener.
The coffee plants which Col. Croker
has secured for his experimental ranch
are of the hardy Arabian variety,
which produce the bulk of the coffee
of commerce. They are mere slips now
and are completely boxed in such a
manner that they do not take up much
space and might be overlooked by the
casual observer. But every precaution
has been taken to protect their roots
from the chill atmosphere, and they
are as good and fresh apparently as
when taken from their native soil. The
plants will be set out this fall most
likely, but six years must elapse before
they will be old enough to bear berries.
Scientists who have studied the soil
and climate of the San Joaquin valley
are somewhat doubtful as to whether
coffee plants will thrive there. The
coffee plant not only requires fertile
soil and plenty of sunlight, but GER
tain amount of moisture, and that is
where the rub comes in California.

from Premier Greenway which may

Premier Greenway declares If the

that if they withdraw their coercion
bill and allow Manitoba to settle the
question without interference, he will
make such concessions to the Roman
