A FEARFUL FALL.
Geo. Lawt n Walks Out of an Open
Window This Morning.

Window This Morning,
Between 5 and 6 O'Clock this morn.
ing Geo. LawtOn, a well-known local
character, walked out of a window on
the second floor Ia the Western Sa-
loon building, corner State and Com
mercial streets, falling TO the cement
pavement beneath, distance Of about
lS feet, breaking his left hip, also
the left ankle besides very severely
spralnIng his right ankle and sustain
inS numerous ugly gashes on his
head.
LawtOn was found laying on the
pavement about $3.50 O'Clock by Police
Officer Frank Ferrell who Immediately
removed him to the Red Front
Drug Store and summoned medical
aid. AISo'clOck Lawton was removed
to the Salem Hospital where care
ful examination disclosed the fact
that his injuries were quite serious
Besides serious fracture of the left
hip, the mans left ankle was also
broken. The right ankle was very
severely sprain d and his head was
almost covered with ugly gashes. He
was otherwise badly bruised up.
The superstition is that the man
while in an intoxicated condition,
mistaking the window. which Is Of
French design extending to the floor,
for a door, walked out and fell 70 the
pavement beneath. The theory that
LawtUn was in snmnambulistic
condition is exploded, the frequency
with which the man INDUCED ia al
coholic drinks making the former con
clusiOn more probable.
1t Is not thought LawtOn sustained
any internal injuries but what he
lacked 10 that way is more than made
up in external bruises. He was 1e-
ported resting very comfortably this
afternoon, having had the fractures
reduced and his wounds properly
| dressed.

AT urrrY CHURCH.
Rev. Copeland Defends the Theater as
Innocent Amusement

Rev. Copeland Defends the Theater as
Innocent Amusement.
"The theater Is an institution of
God and a helping agent 10 advancing
civilization" said DR.. Copeland ia a
very able lecture at the Unity church
last evening. He was earnest In his
plea for the theater and other charm
less amuSements" as he called them.
He said that several hundred years
ago the theater iD Greece was an in
stitution of the old church; when the
new Christian church came into
power IL condemned everything sane
TONED by the cid church, regardless
of merit, and superstitiOusly believed
that the devil was in the theater. He
said that nearly all the more Intelli-
gent and enlightened people and
churches and ministers had now laid
aside this old, old prejudice aud ac.
cepted good theaters as harmless in
stitutiOns. The PUritans we're con-
sistenG in their religion. They be-
lieved IL was sinful TO have any
amusement of any kind or to smile or
TO laugh aDd hence they condemned
the theater and rightfully too. II
the anti-theater Christians of today
condemn the theater they must con-
demn every kind OF amusement. They
must be CONSTANT. II had as soon
make an earnest prayer before the
raising of the curtain for one ofRSol
Smith Russell's plays, and much
rather, than do as l did last winter,
offered up a prayre before the gather
ipg called the Oregon Legislature. 4"
There il something uplifting, some
moral, some beautiful story taught
by almost every play. The william
nearly always is pictured as suffering
what he deserves and the persons pos
sesSinR the virtues are rewarded.
Virtues and honesty and morality
are exalted by the stage as much as
by the church. There are some bad
men on the stage; there are some
hypOcrtes in the church. But for the
theater some of the grandest gems of
literatuer would not have been pre-
served: some Of the most heavenly
music would never have been com
posed. Music now sung in the anti
theater churches was composed and
first given in the theaUers. The
learned divine was amuZed that it re-
quired so many hundred years to en-
tirely stamp out the old foolish pre-
judces aud superstitions. He also
paid a tribute to the social order
known as the Elks, the order to which
nearly all actors belong.
The sermon was very interesting
one and listened TO by large congre-

Martin we're heard in one of their
