omnha Hears the Author Tell the Tale
OF "a Man Without N Country,
Ihe announcement that Edward Everett
Hale would read his story "A Man Without
country" was sufficient to attract a large
and cultured audience last night to Boyd's
theater.
AS an appropriate prelude to the main
event OF the evening America" was sung
Dy all the people, led by the sonorous voice
OF jules Lumbard. Then General Manderson
III rev graceful phrases introduced DIR. Hale
VINO proceeded to read the mournful and
ihnhltely pathetic story of the boy lieutenant
VINO was momentarily bedazzled by the
specious glitter OF Aaron Burr's scheme OF
empire, and thoughtlessly spoke the words
Whicn led to his lifelong exile from home
ana country. The tale Is too well known to
require even synoptical retelling here. AS
toid by Dr, Hale, 1t Is universally admitted
TO place among the worlds masterpieces of
hleTature, as the events 1t records surely
make up one of the deepest and most sic,
hIncant tragedies Of the worlds history.

score years without apparent effort. His
tatl form Is not apprecably more bowed
than 1t has been at any time within the
memory of the younger generation. of his al
mirers, nor his heavy locks and beard more
gray His is wonderfully simple and direct
style OF reading, quite lacking in the tricks
ana manners OF the eloeutonists To one
VINO listens without seeing, and so lost sight
OF the book In the readers hand, which Was
consulted now and then, it seemed that the
story was being told offhand easily, col
loquiaily by the bluff sailor men into whose

power. and, barring slight thickness of
ehunciatlon noticeable at times, was dis

cricket match between oxford university
and the gentlmen of Philadelphia was re-
sumed here today. 1t rained heavily all
night and early this morning and the ground
was heavy and dead and thoroughly satu-
rated with rain AT the time agreed upon for
beginning play the umpres decided that the
wicket was in an unfit condition and post
poned the game until the afternoon. This
was unfortunate for the Americans who ex-
pected hard wicket for their innings They,
however, did very well under the crcum-
stances and ran up score of 1853 for seven
wiCketS.
Play today did not begin until o'clock,
when II. Z. Bailey and T.. w. Ralaton, the
overnight not-out batSmen, resumed their
innings Both batsmen hit vigorously and
to go up: But as the score was progressing
nicely Ralston succumbed to catch by
Hartley off Cunlffe. and the first wicket
was down for 80. Bailey followed without
any further addition to the total and G. s.
Patterson and j. A. Lester became asso-
ciated. a good stand made here. both
men playing with great caution, and be-
fore Patterson was disposed of addition
of twenty-four runs had been made to the
total. The Haverford College captain con-

Wood, Coates, Thayer and Biddle and when
stumps were drawn for the day he was

DECENT AND INDECENT JOUR-
NALISM.

The subject Of sensational Journalism
and it's influence upon society Is more
debated just now than ever before. 1t
has not escaped the attention or the
German-American press, some OF winch
comment wtttily and with force, and
from new points of view. Thus the
Cincinnati "Volksblatt" defines freak
journalism as not solely a tendency to
exaggea,ate, but the habit of waddnS
knee deep In filth, until decent readers
have feeling of nausea 1t includes
the publication Of untruth, OF course
milder form of sensationalism the
Cincinnati paper defines to be giving of
undue prominence to all kinds of unirn-
portant matter, and in the list baseball
and football illustrations, elaborate re-
ports, etc., are included. Looking about
for a remedy, the ''Volksblatt" finds it
in prices. In Europe the line is pretty
well drawn between the sensational
and the decent press. The people un-
derstand that a good paper costs mon
ey; that to produce a clean, high mind
ed paper greater cost is involved than
to publish a fash and consequently
cheap paper. So If decent and respecta-
BILE people want decent papers they
must be willing to pay higher price
for them, with the assurance that they
Will get what they~want, and without
~ tI,.a r,1rro,St Of fba al wit n
corrupted and raw tastes. Whenever,
therefore, the people are willing to pay
the price they will get the decent paper,
which, by the way, does not mean the
duh paper. 1t Is the way in which
matter is treated more than anything
else that distinguishes the clean from
the unclean paper. News is not to be
ignored, no matter how much it relates
to vice It is one thing to state facts
In proper news form, and another to so
state them as to tickle the brutal palate
or to stimulate the low taste and las
civious longing. We are inclined to
agree with the "Volksblau":
"A daily paper has become almost as
much a necessity as daily bread, and
bad paper causes as much dissatis-
faction as bad bread. But not until
the public are willing to pay will the
division between good and bad news
papers be made on European lines. I'm
til then decent people must be content
to read papers which interest equally
the debauchee, the ignorant and the
brutaltZed."
