RISING GENERATE

Mr.. VIM. Barry will appear at the
Jefferson theatre in "The Rising Genera
tion." Mr.. Barry may be fairly con-
sidered among the best of our comedians.
Indeed, in his portrayal of the American
Irishman, who retains the warmth, the
wit, the native humor of his native land
impregnated by the customs and the
peculiar conditions of America, he is
without peer. Mr.. Barry's Irishman is
the resultant product of it's associations.
1t does not effect the unnatural sentiment
which so often spoil and disoolor rendi-
tions of such characters. There is no aim
ing beyond the character. 1t is the com
mon man raised through circumstances
above himself; warm hearted, hasty of
temper and not lacking in the grossness
which necessarily belongs to such a per
son. Sale of seats open at box office next
Friday.
December 2i-25, Fanny Davenport,
supported by very exceptional and
powerful cast, including that brilliant
and excellent actor Milburne Mcdowell
in La Tosca and Fredora. The sale of
seats for this engagement will begin one
week in advance.

COMFORT FOR BABY

Means pleasure for you.
Everything which adds to the
happiness of her child, makes
the maternal heart glad.
There is nothing so necessary
for the comfort of the little
ones as a proper fitting I'M
dershirt.
The little bodies require
not only warmth, but must
have a garment that fits per-
fectly. That's the reason the
"Alma'' has sprung into
popularity. Jersey knit, of
course; but its principle fea-
ture is the sleeve, which is
knit to fit, not stretched into
shape, as other sleeves are.
Be sure and ask for the
sAHnaaa'' and look for the
guarantee which is on every
garment.

PUTTING 1T ON PROVIDENCE.

A newspaper-a careful Boston news
paper-in telling the other day of the ad-
dress of a woman missionary of long
experience in Turkey, to a Boston audi
ence, represented her as saying Of the
Armenian massacres, that the victims,
being Christians, recognized that these
things could only exist with the approval
Of God, and that they were ready to &C
cept the slaughters as the result of the
divine will. " 1t is very possible that
she did not speak the precise words i'm
puted to her, but the doctrine they ex-
press is familiar, and seefs to the present
lay writer to be sufficiently erroneous
and misleading to be worth remon-
STRANGE. The idea that the Armenian
massacres and all horrors OF the sort, as
well as the plague in India, and famine,
pestilence, and sudden d0eth in all their
manifestation occur with the approval OF
God" is not only abhorent to our sense
of divine goodness but altogether un-
necessary ITO our belief in Omnipotence.
Is even the mere instinct OF self
preservation opposed to the will OF God!
II we suspect that there is sewer-gas IN
our houses, we do not bow to any supposed
will of God and try to be patient under it.
We get the plumbers in and mp up the
premises and try to get it out. Ii we get
diphtheria germs in our threats, we don't
kiss the rod. We call in the doctor and
try the latest serum. If we fall into tile
water we thank God that we have learn
ed to swim. What should we do II kurds
come to knock us on the head and carry
off our women? Would you tell us to kiss
the rod, and that whatever happened was
with Gods approval? Oh, good, but illogi-
cal, missionary! You would say to us:
''Fight fight! kill! Die, if you must,
but die hard. Since whatever happens,
happens with Gods approval, see to it,,
if you can, that it happens with wour APP
prevail alsov' Perhaps you can't say that
to the Armenians; possibly the odds are
! too great, the conditions too desperate.
| But. at least, don't say that they are
massacred with Gods approval, nor tell
us that you have bid them perish meekly.

PETER CARTWRIGHTSsFI FINE AN
SWER. -

Sundays Pittsburg Dispatch contains
an interview ny George Alfred Townsend
with Rdbt. r. Hit. chairman Foreign
Affairs committee from which we make
the following extract:
Il heard Lincoln argue a-murder case
against Stephen Logan. who had an
extraordinary legal mind, and when he
had finished his argument Lincoln took
him by the hand in the court room and
said: 1.-THE best nisi prius lawyer that
lives" But Lincoln was better as a nisi
prius lawyer before jury than Logan |
heard him call his first witness. who was
old Peter Cartwright, the preacher. Cart
wright was the grandfather of the boy
who had committed the homicide. How
long have you known the accused?' said
Lincoln.
odd Cartwright turned his swimming
eyes to the boy and waited a good while
before he answered. Il have known him
since he wept an infant in my arms"
1T was fine answer. You know when
babes are born they are crying 1t re-
minded me Of that fine stanza by Sir
William Jones, the best thing he ever
wrote:
"'On parent knees, a naked, newborn
child.
Weeping thou satst, while all around
thee smiled
SO live that sinking in thy last long sleep
Calm thou may'st smile while all around
thee weep"
