Ned Royle, the Salt Lake actor-dram-
atist, and his talented company have
taken San Francisco by storm. The
Examiner says OF him;
The cleverest and most entertaining
performance given during the past
week was the Captain Impudence" of
Mr.. Edwin Milton Royle. Few mem
bers of the theatrical profession have
been so lowered by nature that they
can perform thoroughly well the dis
similar functions of author, actor and
manager. Mr.. Royle can perform them
all. and, within the range of what he
attempts, he performs them, as did his
illUstrious fellow-craftsmen. Garrick
and Moliere, thoroughly well.
On the programme Mr.. Royle mod
estly describes his play as a farce; it
is more than that, for, in the person
of Captain Shields, it contains at least
one admirably drawn, clean-cut char
acter. The interest also lies more in
the good things, and there are many
good things, which the characters say,
than in the situations in which the au-
thor has placed them. If to these two
considerations we add a third-namely,
that from the beginning it is evident
the outcome is to be fortunate-we see
that the play may properly claim rank
as a comedy, or, rather, as a come

The poet laureate of England, Mr..
Austin, is getting called rather smartly

a rule, "have but small erudition."
Nevertheless, there is fair ground for
the statement; and Mr.. Austin might
even have gone farther and said that

with learning, and regards anyone who
writes an article or book as necessar-

More Inventions Than Ever.

Cleveland Leader: The records Of the
patent office show that American in
ventcrs are more active than ever. Last
year broke all previous records for ap-
plicationS made, and the number of
patents issued was enormous. The
range of the work of inventors was
greater than ever before, and activity
in new fields by no means caused a
lack Of improvements in machines
tools, implements and devices of all
kinds which seemed to have been well
perfected.
The best authorities of the patent
office state that there is no sign what
ever of a change in this respect. The
opportunities for invention seem to in
crease with all the advances made from
year to year. The gains of the past
simply open the way to greater i'm
provements in the future. One inven-
ton brings on others, and the fields
of industry, science and art are becom-
ing ever more fruitful.
Many years ago it was not uncOm-
mon to hear the opinion expressed that
the fioodtide had been reached in hui
man ingenuity and material progress
1t was asserted that in The future man
must go more slowly in discovering
new and valuable forces. processes and
aids TO comfort and endeavor. It was
foolish to talk then, and similar pre-
dictions would be as shortsighted now
IT is entirely impossible for any gene
ration to guess the limits of the
achievements of the next.

Herbert Z. Hamblen, the author of
con Many Seas" and The General
Managers Story" is out with a new
book-a book of adventure for boys.
This makes the third volume within two
or three years from a man who four
years ago had probably not the least
thought of becoming an author. He was
faithfully running a steam engine in
the upper part of the city; but he found
opportunity in the intervals of his work
to tell a lot of good stories, drawn for
the most part from his own expert
ence; and among the men who heard
these stories was one who recognized in
them a wealth of literary material.
This was Mr.. Booth. now of the pub
fishing house of Macmillan & Co. but
then in charge of a charity library up
on the east side, where Hamblen came
often to talk with him. One day Mr..
Booth said: why do you waste your
time telling these stories to me? Go
home and write them out, and they
may make you fortune" A few days
later Hamblen presented himself under
a load of manuscript; and such manu-
script-no capitals, no punctuation. no
order; simply wild torrent caught by
the pen as it tumbled through the au-
thor's mind. Mr.. Booth. who had liter
airy craft, took the mass in hand and
painfully went over the whole, whip
ping it into shape, but carefully con-
serving at the same time all its indi-
viduality and freshness. This done, he
urged the manuscript on the MacMil
lans for publication. They at once rec
ognized the exceptional interest of it,
and the manuscript went to the print
ers And thus it was that the popular
book ION Many Seas got written and
published. THE General Managers
story followed soon after written in
much the same way. But since it was
published, Mr.. Hamblen has taken a
little more definitely to literature and
is writing now more or less for periodi-
Gals. He still tends his steam engine,
though, and has not made the mistake
of suppoSing that success in one or two
literary ventures insures a writer a liv

COOPERATION At CAMPS
HEALTH BOARD AND MILITARY
IN HARMONY.
General Kings Letter and the Boards
Action Both in the Interest of the
Best Sanitation.

The report in this paper yesterday
of Tuesdays board of health meeting
was taken from the rough official min
utes with explanations by an official
who sat through the meeting. 1t APP
pears that the ideas or spirit of board
members were, in one respect, slight
ly misunderstood.
However sweeping the letter of Cen
eral King in it's authority, the position
of the board of health is to cooper
ate' with the camp officials and not
to supersede them in power or respon-
sibility. This principle of co-opera-
ton merely will, in the words of Pres
ident Smith, be followed out in all the
details of work the board may be call
ed upon to do.
One member was appointed to ar
range for the removal of refuse from
the camps and is to contract for cart
ing. Two others were appointed on
disinfection and general sanitary mat
ters, and are acting as an advisory
committee which consults with Sur
geon Major Norris.
President Smith had a lengthy con-
sultation with Major Norris and 9th
er officials of the camp yesterday. The
principle of dry earth disinfecting,
considered so important here by the
board, was found to be not very well
understood, or, at least, carried out,
at the camps. Mr.. Smith arranged,
with the approval of the military Of
ficials, with Hustace & Co., to supply
as much dry earth as is Immediately
required at Camp Otis.
The relations between the board OF
health and camp officials are most cor.
dial. In the camp the authority of the
military is above that of the health
officers, the latter appearing, in a
large measure. in an advisory light
This situation has superinduced the
slight misunderstanding which have
occurred. The letter of General King
| however, sets the matter ait rest by
bringing the military and health of.
ficers at the camp and the board OF
health in town together to work upor
| the same lines.
A special meeting of the board OF
health will be held at 3 o'clock this
afternoon to discuss the situation
further.
