Haswin and an able company at the Grand opera house last evening before a good-siZed audi ence. The piece opens with short prologue, the scene being laid in France. The plot is strong one. Through villainy wife's affections are alienated from her husband, and upon this fact a fascinating story is con- structed.
 Carl A. Haswin as the lion tanner is an actor of much ability cast in a part which easily displays his versatility. Frances R. Haswin is also a woman of recognized ability, and in the role of the farmers wife created very favor able impression. Joseph Slaytor as the farmer and Carroll Daly as the colonel of the French army were among the best in the minor roles. The rest of the company is adequate. As whole, the production is exceedingly good for one at popular prices.

New York Sun: Reuben Etters,

telling of experiences he has had with
rattlesnakes.
Last season." he said. Il slausht-
cred something more than 200 big fell
lows. and | skinned every one of them
alive l always skin a RATHER alive,
because in killing them first you can
hardly avoid spelling the hides, and
rattlesnake skins are becoming quite
valuable of late. The process adopt
is this: 1 place forked stick over the
reptiles head and hold it 10 the
ground Then, placing the stick under
the pit of my arm, / catch the snake
by the tail with one hand and with my
pocket knife in the other hand [ rip
it open on the belly from the tail to the
head Then, lOosening the skin from
the body at the tail, l place my foot on
the stub and yank the hide off in much
the same way as YOU would skin an
eel. | tackled a big one last summer
and before 7 could get control of its
tail the reptile succeeded in coiling it
self around my arm a third time, and
came near getting its head out from
under the forked stick: but l finally
stretched it and secured the skin with
out a blemish.

GOLD SEEKERS MISSING.
Prominent Cleveland Men Lost in
South America.

New York May 13.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres. Argentina,
says: United States Minister Buchanan
has begun an investigation TO find out. if
possible, what has become of the Ameri-
can fishing vessel. Joseph Loubat. which
il is feared. has been lost somewhere be
vessel. which was commanded by Cap
tain T. II. Connors and having on board
Moses s. Ransome, a wealthy American,
and se-eral prominent young men from
Cleveland, o., left this port in January
on a search for gold.
The Loubat is a small vessel and the
fact that nothing has been heard from
her has given rise TO the fear that she
has been lost.
M. Ransome is a man of considerable
wealth and is a close personal friend
of Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio. With
him on the Isoubat were Charles Ran
some. his son; Kirk Gardner. son of
former mayor of Cleveland: Douglas Per-
kins. lr., a capitalist of Cleveland: Wal

Mr. Ransome stated that his destination
was Sluggards Bay. Terra del Fuego. He
knew. he said gold was abundant in that
vicinity. and with an invention which he
had recently perfected and which he car
ried along. he hoped to realize fortune
for himself and his comrades. His ma
chine was for the purpose of separating
gold from sand and he said the place
he had selected for his operations would
prove not only the efficiency of his in
vention but would yield a fortune.

America, such as all nations may
sooner or later experience, such as the
enemies of democracy have predicted
as certain one dav TO put an end TO
American democracy. Lord Macauley
imag1nes crisis in America The
peril from which democracy cannot
escape he writes, will befall il in a
season of hard times, when the masses
of the people will make use of their
political power to despoil the rich and
disrupt society,"
Americans, fear not Macauley did
not know the people of America;
America is safe--conscience is on
guard.
What will foster conscience in the
the sense of a Supreme Ruler ruling
the whole universe from the tiniest
flower to the mightiest sun; ruling men
and aggregations of men, rewarding
and Furnishing. Patriotism is never so
potent as when it is identified with re-
ligion.
The crisis for democracy will come
when comes the crisis for religion.
Evil days for America are those when
agnosticism and materialism are
preached through the land, when man
is told that he is but a piece of me-
chanism which no free will controls;
that he is but a grain of dust, tossed
up for awhile in the air, soon to be
driven back into the common heap,
having no responsibility, no hope, save
what the clay and stones around him
have. Fortunately for America. deep
in the hearts of Americans lies the in
stinct of religion; Americans Will never.
believe that an infinite intelligence does
not rule the universe; that the soul of
man is not spiritual or immortal. They
will never permit that the Sabbath day
be taken from the service of conscience
to be put to the service of matter or
that its church bells cease their
heavenly music.
The enemies of religion are the enc
mics of country and of democracy.
After making a plea for moralization
of youth and condemning senSa tional
journalism, the archbishop closed as
follows: Americans, we live America
we fain would make her great. Our
hearts prayer is: May she be immortal,
to bless during ages our sons and their
sons, and those that will be born OF
them; to bless during the ages all
people who may strive in their own
land for civil and political liberty. Let
us work for America, but remembering
that not in sciences and arts, not in
commerce and armies, must her trust
be; but in men. Nothing more signi-
ficant and more worthy of our heed
than the words of our own Emerson,
The true test of civilization is not the
causes, not the size of cities, not the
crops, but the kind of men the country
turns out
