ally his eccentricity takes a practical
form for the benefit Of his fellow-men.
When he entered upon his duties of chief
executive of the municipality in July last
he expressed the resolution to accept on

law, which is $1,000, as he considered it
excessive. He has subsequently proved
his sincerity by officially turning into
the city treasury one-half of his legal
salary, which he declined to accept on
the ground that the duties of his office

UNPRoFITABLE vuLGARITY.
A Music Hall That the Public Would
Not Support.

Boston Advertiser.
The New York papers lately contained
the announcement that one Of the most
prominent music hail. managers of that
city, having met with severe financial re-
verses in his business. had practically de-
cided to abandon his enterprises and to
give up the mana cement of the great music
hall. which he had opened with such wide
spread advertising and had carried on in
way which won for his management and
the hall itself a great temporary patronage.
coupled with a peculiar notoriety.
The downfall of this enterprise in New
York is very emphatic answer to certain
too hasty moralsts. who in commenting
upon the temporary success or the under
of the dehased taste and decaying morality
of American theater audiences. If, as
those moralists argued, the merely mo-
tion was to be accepted as evidence 81 an
unhealthy curiosity and of vulgaritv the
part of the theater- going public, the down
fan of the enterprise shows that a. theater
manager in this country cannot safely rely
upon such support
The New York manager FOR a short time
managed to draw large audiences by i'm
porting the MOTORCYCLES" of the London
music halls. the Paris amusement cafes
and the Berlin variety stage. Whether he
made large profits in these ventures may
be doubted. as theatrical paper" was gen.
erously distributed to increase the size of
his audiences. Yet for a time the public
was led to believe that these attractions
were popular. and the New York yellow
press did what it could to make them
popular by unusual Advertising The great
majority of the audiences. however. found
these exhibitions neither enjoyable nor in
teresting. Columns upon columns OF news
paper comment upon these imported celeb
rifles could not overcome the American
disgust and repulsion.
II has been demonstrated, by the failure
and collapse of this amusement enterprise,
that even from the mere standpoint of dol
lars and cents ii is Improbable TO offer
vulgarity or to calculate upon the pruriency
OF American audiences. The American peo-
pie prefer cleanliness upon the stage Just
as they prefer cleanliness on the streets
IN restaurants and other public places 1t
is fortunate. indeed. that this is so as re-
CARDS the ordinary theater-going public,
for 1t is to be said with regret that some of
the censors who re the first to condemn
the efforts of musc-hall managers to de-
base the stage never think of helping with
their own patronage the productions of
good. clean, honest plays on the American
stage.

Another Ancient City.
New York Evening Post.

The ruins of another ancient city have
been found in the West, this time Oh Black
mountain, about fifty miles from Mojave,
Cal 1t is in hollow between two ridges,
and evidence was found that it had been the
habitaton of a powerful tribe of sun wor-
Slippers. The ruins include several massive
stone walls, now about two feet above the
surface, and built with mathematical pre-
cision, dividing the surface into paralleio-
grams. There are also the roofesS ruins
of stone houses built nearly circular in
form and of stones so large as to suggest
the use of machinery in handling them. In
each house the door faced the east In
these particulars the houses are counter
parts of those found on Poston Butte, near
Florence, Ariz. The character Of the stone
used is the same In both places and the
hieroglyphics found carved on the volcanic
rocks on Poston Butte are reproduced on
Black mountain. Near the center of the
ruins is large bowider, nearly square, hav-
ing fat top with a rude circle shallowly
carved on 1t. The Surmise is that the rock
was an altar and that the circle was in
tended as a representation of the sun. An
area of about siXty-five acres is covered by
the ruins, which were found on two
plateaus, one higher than the other. The
side of the cliff leading from the lower to
the upper plateau had been terraoed, tn
re tainii & walls pe;ns of stone, ana h ear n

Fifteen years ago. said an old Cleve-

Seymour were both members of the famous
stock organization at Baldwin's Theater,
San Francisco 1t was during the third
at the Baldwin that he appeared as Christ
in Salrni Morse's Passion Play" Seymour,
who played the part of the inspired mes
senger,' talked the other day about the
performance. which was the only time the
Oberammergau spectacle was initiated in
this country. He said:
Tom Mcguire was manager at the Bald
win at the time and requested O'Neill to
play the part of Christ At first O'Neill re-
fused, although, according to the terms of
part assigned him by the management.
O'NeiI heard, however, that Salmi Morse S
play had been approved by Bishop Ale
mani, of the Catholic Church in California,
and then consented to impersonate the
character. ONeill was known among the
members of the company as good fellow,

the first performance of the Passion
Play approached ONeill as he came out

even the rough stage hands, passed him in
silence, paying a forced tribute to the holt
ness of his appearance. Really, to O'Neill
that performance was not acting, 1t was de-
votion. He spoke the lines with all due
reverence to their sacred meaning. and the
whole performance was in the nature of q
great biblical lesson. Rough miners in the
audience were seen to fall on their knees
and pray, while the women were unable to
restrain their tears 1t was surely the most
impressive stage representation l ever took
part in or witnessed.
ON the day after the tenth performance
the whole company was arrested and
brought before a magistrate. O'Neill was
fined $50, while the twelve apostles were
fined only s. apiece. that being. In the mind
of the magistrate, the difference between
Christ and His disciples. After the play
was taken off in San Francisco Mr.. Stetson

pulpit and the press was against 1t and the
production was abandoned.
