OF domestic life or the Maine coast has
become familiar through annual visits To
this city for the past three seasons, yet it
comes and awakens the better part OF
human nature 10y it's rugged simplicity
and warm heart throbs. There are lew
purer or moro gratifying plays on the
American stage, and its wonderful hold
on the general public is sure indication
that unobjectionable drama has an abid-
ing place with the masses. There Is no
prominence 10 vice and the whole story IL
lustrates the strength of kindly hearts.
Even Martin Berry, who seems to be
cold and prssping, is kindly man ana
tho audience knows it. He is mean and
selfish through mistaken idea of better
ing his condition, and those depending
uuon him. When the mist of apparent
prosperity is cleared away by the cloud OF
adversity, he comes TO himself and tnen
the stern justice of his character blends
with the gentleness of the Others and
makes harmony in the old-fashioned
Kitchen Of the old ldfashioned farmhouse.
That kitchen scene is worth careful
attention, not because 1t is thoroughly
equipped with real things to be used in
household affairs, but because within its
conflpes is worked out "A problem that
varies only with different conditions
and different surroundings. 1t is a
transcript OF life in which the baser ole-
ment Of human nature succumbs to the
nobler, and il comes into every life in one
form or another, whether in an isolated
bome.like this one on the rugged fringe
Of Maiue or I'm the palace abode Of the
millionaire. King and peasant poltrOon
and partrician come under the same in
fuenoe and the downfall of the bad and
the exaltation Of the good is spectacle
that is beneficial to mankind whether it
is seen Oh or of the stage
Mr.. Hcrne gave his customary delight
ful performance of kind, simple e-hearted
Uncle Nat," and Mr.. Fischer's impsr-
souation Of Martin Berry was peculiarly
effective. IL was only second TO the lead
ing character and the clear-cut character
ization made the unique central figure
Of the picture stand out more boldly.
Marion Cullen illustrated the determined
character OF Holen Berry In n natural
way and her work was earnest and pleas
ing all tho while. Tho other parts were
impersopated by players who have been
with Alr. Herne for o long time, and
association with that player is sure
guarantee Of thoroughness i'm every di-
rcction. "Shore Acres" will remain at

ZOLLvEREIN DEAD.
In the Opinion OF Lord Rosebery, Who
Euiogizes Free Trade.

Manchester. Eng. Nov. 2.-Lord Rose
berry addressed large meeting here
last night in connection with the CEN
tennary celebration OF the chamber OF
commerce. He reviewed the history OF
free trade elaborately. eulogizing what
be described as its advantages TO Eng
land.
Lord Roseberycontendea that the con-
dition of agriculture abroad. despite
bouIties and protection, was little better
and I'm some cases was worse than IN
England. He quoted Sir Wilfred Laur-
ier as a most illustrious authority sus-
tanning the view that IL is free trade
which has preserved and consolidated
the British empire" He fully agreed
with Mr.. Laurier, he declared. that any
deviation from absolute political and
commercial freedom would only weaken
the bonds holding the empire together.
and that anything in the direction or
an imperial zollverein would weaken
the empire internally and excite the per-
manent hostility Of the whole world.
already seriously excited by British pros
perity under free trade"
He said he would tread softly in the
presence OF the idea Of zollverein,"
for he belived il already dead. IL be-
hooved them 10 walk strongly and warily
in the path OF the empire. but such a
zollverein would form a permanent men
ace Of war.

INSULT TO NATIONS FLAG.

1t 10 with regret that we learn that the
United States flag was torn from Its posi-
tion among other flags In Halifax yester-
day, and especially at such an inopportune
time when the most friendly relations
exist between this country and Great
Britain, and when the citizens of the
country are uniting with the English sub
jscts in celebrating and honoring their
most gracious sovereign, Queen Victoria.
Such actions cannot be the result Of the
doings Of the law abiding citizens of HAL
fax, and 1t is be deplored that such an ir-
cident should occur to mar the celebra-
tion. The authorities are now in duty
bound to apprehend the perpetrators Of
of this insult and should bring them
speedily to justice. Such actions cannot
be tolerated by the government without
suitable restitution.
