A Degenerate Play by Max Nordau.
DR.. Max Nordau's new play, Ihe
Right to Love-" is an erotic drama,
with degenerate woman, Nine. Bertha
Wahrmund; her husband, Joseph Wahr-
mund, and her lover, Otto Bardenholm,
as chief characters. Nine. Bertha, as
the climax to her degeneracy, comes to
the conclusion that, as she no longer
loves her husband, it is not right Tor her
to continue to live with him, but Bar
denbolm. her mercenary lover, refuses
to support her away from her family.
DR.. Nordau's treatment of the theme
reminds us forcibly of some of 1bsen's
prose dramas AS DR.. Nordau, in DE
generation" pays his compliments to
ibsen in no favorable language, he will
scarcely relish the above statement con-

doughty residents of Superior lie awake
at night, distressed with fearful dreams,
while they stand on the shore of the dl-

all encroaching rival.
The bill authorizing the bridge passed
congress some time ago. but now more
time is asked and some changes in the
charter are suggested. The material,
furnished by Pennsy lvania steel men,
is lying at the site of the bridge, and
Senator Quay daily presses the enact
ment of the additional legislation, but

for our forests But that period has
passed. and feel able to concur with
experts in woodcraft and extensive own

there is today more and better standing
timber in northern New England than
ever before since numbering was there
begun. Many seem to fear that the for

ever, will show that poplar trees OF the
best size for wood pulp can DO grown IN
very few years, six to ten. and think
it will not be long before the growing
of such wood will become regular and
profitable business on our rocky, noun

THE SITUATION.

The light, but most welcome and re.
freshiug rain Of Sunday night failed
TO produce the hoped for change.
1t gave place promptly to cloud
less skies and summer temperature,
although the heavy fog of Mon
day night was an indication that the
atmospheric disturbances are not yet at
an end, The situation in regard to
yellow fever is unchanged. The dis
ease in New Orleans continues TO
spread and is marked by the usual
coutagiousness common to yellow
ioyer but by an unusually light NOR
ta.ity aud the same features charac-
tsrize it in other places. In GER
tain cases, however, the fever at
lacks with as much violence and is as
fatal in effect as in the epidemics of
past years, This is the worst feature
OF The disease. Few people would
dread il, did each one not fear that
he or she would prove to be the ex.
cepdonal case; in which event it would
matter but little to the victim whether |
the type Of the disease were as "beuignn !
as heavenly benson, or as "malig.
nant" as the plague of 1878.
The announcement of the appear
anoe Of the pest in Galveston is the
most startling feature of the weeks de-
velopments; and even this is not very
surprising as it Las been suspected
for some time that the "dengue" fever
reported from Galveston some time
ago was no other than the same dis
ease against which 70 was 30 vigorous.

While there is abundant cause for

In the matter of cotton mills, the most

1t is true that of our paltry ten
