BraDder Matthew Com aaents the Use
of the stage Whisper.
1t is an indisputable necessity of
the acted drama that the performers
shall so pitch their voices as TO be
heard all over the house and that
they shall so place themselves on
the stage as TO keep their faces visi
BILE from all parts of the theater.
These are both deviatIons from or
diuary usage. since common sense
tells rs that a man does not discuss
his private affairs in tones to be
heard by thousand people, and the
that only quarter of the time
would couple face toward any
given point Of the compass.
Even when two characters alone
on the stage whisper together, not
to be overheard by other characters
supposed TO he in the next room
they can but pretend TO lower their
voices, since what they say must lie
audible to the audience, or else why
say it9 Many critic, accustomed
to blank verse and to the absence of
the fourth wall of a room and to a
hundred other conventions he blind

too, are out of nature, has refused
to legitimate the stage whisper,

GRAVITY unreal. X is not 10 be denied
that the aside and the soliloquy are
labor saving devices, which some
dramatists have worked hard. The
easy convenience of soliloquy, by
means of which a tortuous character
can undeceive the audience while
taking in the other persona9es Of
the play, has been too tempting to
many "a Playwright The conscien
tious dramatist has tended of late Ia
get along without the aside and the
soliloquy. The younger Dumas and

An Ugly Fall in the School
Room at Garfield Building
Mrs. Hill Hurt.

Yesterday forenoon at the Garfield
school building Mrs. Anna P. Hill, the
teacher. was doing some blackboard
work, with the aid of a stool she was
standing on, when in some way she
got the stool too near the edge of the
platform, tipping the stool over the
edge and getting a heavy fall to the
floor. La falling she struck on a chair,
aud was somewhat Jared and bruised,
and in falling on her right arm and
hand one bone of her hand was frac-
tured and the wrist badly sprained.
The injuries will not prevent her at
tending to her duties, but they are
very painful and will give Mrs Hill
considerable trouble.

FACTS vs.. BIACAGUAhDISM.
To our statement TIL -rsday evening
1--WE understand that Mr.. Harris fee
for the opinion Con the natural gas
question) is to be contingent on his
being employed in the case if suit is
brought" the Item replies:
Mr.. Harris fee for an opinion was
not contingent on his being employed
in the case if suit is brought" 1t was
paid for in cash; and as not cent of
it came from the apOstate organ, this
shoold be Sufficient information on
that point.
The above is followed by a Ions
string of billipesgate, SANDER and in
situation characteristic and worthy OF
its dirty source.
The statement that Mr.. Harris fee
is to be contingent on his being EN-
ployed in the case came direct flom a
member Of the present gas committee,
and We would take his word before
that of the editor of the Item. II the
statement is authoritatively disputed
we shall give the name of the gentle
man who made it. We had no occa-
sion and certainly no desire TO misrep-
resent Mr.. Harris, and if there was
any Misrepresentation the RESPONSE
blity shall be placed where il belongs.
Ard new as to the mean insinuations
and lying statements of the Item with
regard TO the PALLADIUM course in
this gas matter we have only to say
The PALLADIUM did harder and better
work for the people, when something
could DO done. than any other Rich
mond paper. 1t made the fight till il
was convinced that all had been Sc
cured for the people that could be
secured in the way of concession from
the gas company, and then advocated
dropping the matter. When the real
fight was made the Item took half
hearted part in it. The editor of that
paper was called for at one of the first
two mass meetings but he did not re-
spond and we doubt whether he was
there. After the game was gone the
Item, with the characteristics of a
small dog. began TO bark up the hole.
When we advocated the acceptance
of the agreement between the first gas
committee and the gas company we
believed that the best had been accom- |
plished for the people that could be, and
we believe so still. We believed that |
under the charter which the gas COM
pany has nothing further could be Sc
cured by legal process. and We believe
SO still. Aud believing so we could
not honestly encourage the people TO
put their money in a law suit of uncer
tain length and cost. And in taking this
second position we served the people
as faithfully as when we did our best
to bring all the moral pressure posi-
BILE to secure the lowest obtainable rate
for gas. We feel confident that time
viii vindicate our course. and shall
bide that time. We would rather risk
the disapprovsl of some well-meanin
persons than to do what we believe
would be misleading the people,
merely TO secure temporary applause.
We believe that the people are beipg
deceived. and that they will discover il
in due time, and place the response
bility where it belongs. We do not
believe that Mr.. Harris has given an
opinion such as is mysteriously as
serted by those who claim TO have :
;eeu il, and such as would warrant a d

EARlHAm.
Preliminary Field Day Next
wednesday Great Inter-
tereet I'm the Event.

Next Wednesday afternoon will be a
gala day at Earlham. The prelim-
mary field day occurs at that time and
the Interest in the event this year Is
the greatest it has ever been. This is
true for several rsasons. Winning the
Oxford and state meets last year
opened Earlham's eyes to what she
conld do. Miami university. famil-
last fall IN foot ball and there is the
incentive of getting even" which has
spurred on all Earlham : athletes TO do
their very best in training. The
loss Of Ernest Jones and Oriel
Blnford in the runs in
stead of causing a loss of nerve
has only steeled that necessary quality
and some men are now developing who
may be able TO beat the records made
by those gentlemen last year. Then
there is the spur OF class patriotism
which is bringing out all who show
even the remotest possibility of ability
in any of the eighteen or genty events
on the program Lastly and foremost
in the things which are arousipg an
interest, the greatest ever manifested
in an Earlham preliminary, is the fact
that the competition is going TO be so
close in nearly all the events on the
program.
In the dashes, jeff Van Allen and
Harry Thornbu burg are going to make a
race in which favorite could not be
named. In the quarter of
that are keeping people guessing
on the winner, they are Lee Pea
cock, Creighton Mills, Jeff VanAllen
aud Harry Thornburg Ia jumps
there is not state record that will not
be beaten in this preliminary and still
who will win the events is a question.
Thornburg or Peacock in all of these
events, will one of them at least, and
in some events both. break the existing
state records. Which vii win is a
question whose decision arouses in
terest. In the pole vault only feet
4 inches was made last spring TT the
state field day and Herman Stabler
has already beaten that. In The
hurdles Bert Chapman and Rowland
Hill are going to run neck and neck
races. SO it is throughout the pro
gram in the field and track events.
Some fun is to be thrown in by an
egg race and class tugs-of- war. Seven
men from each class will make up a
team. The Juniors and freshmen will
try abilities, then the seniors and
sophon ores. The winners in these
two will then meet to decide the cham
pionship. These will add fun to ex
citement, and make very pleasu able
addition to the program. A large
grand stand is being fixed up to
accommodate the crowd on Wednesday
afternoon.
