THE excessive speed of the car had
nothing to do with the matter. For

Cured had the car been running at an

gestion that the boys formed a process

"a Man without a PAST"

Two eminently welcome things were
done last night at the Columbia Theater.
The Columbia stock Company introduced
a new and entertaining play; "A Man With
a Past" and this very amusing, clean
and vivacious comedy is a complete anti
dote to the bad taste left In ones moral
mouth by Mrs. Ponder bury, the wife of
Claude, and other salacious, dramatic
women, with pasts unfit for publication.
There is vast deal OF ingenuity in the
arrangement of the common stock of the
humors and ways of the married and I'M
married people of the world in the Paul
tons clever comedy, and this rs especially
true of the 1uxtapositon OF a man with
past with man without Is past. The
former, Josiah Hooper, is by Mr.. James o
BaTows. and the latter, Horace Hooper
DrUmInond, by Mr.. a s. Lipman. Mr
Barrows has a sienally humorous part TO
play and he plays ii con amore. OF all the
Jolly old hoys with or without bald
heads seen here this season, or, per-
haps, any other, Mr. Barrows comes very
near deserving the superlative praise.
Mr.. Lipman, as the man without past,
is, of course, zoologicaAy and psychologi-
caIly freak, or, at best, a oontradc-
tion in te rms Dramatically he is all
right. Nine-tenths OF the house. the most
interesting part of it, was in keen SYM
pathy with him all the way through.

Grey was the charming ingenious Blanche

The Hawaiian Question.

Some of our New York contemporaries,

standing the notorious and visible efforts

Should President Mckinley, In this mat

victions. and the due regard he owes to
his platform and campaign pledges, he
will have the nation at his back. A little
show Of independence on his part would go
great way toward diminishing most
lamentabIe impression that he is not
allowed to act as his Judgment and con
science dictate, but that he is being cOm-
PEELED TO register the will of Hanna and
the gold and bond syndicates, the trusts
