LIBEL LAW.

An effort was made during the ses-
sion to amend the libel law of this
country. The bill provided that per-
sons who sued for libel should give
security for costs up to the amount
of $500. The bill was not regarded
with favor, and was duly buried. But
it is interesting to learn that bill
of almost similar character is before
the British parliament, and that it
has strong support there. An ex-
change says on this point:
"a measure is pending in the Brit
ish Parliament to compel persons who
sue newspapers for libel to give Sc
curity for all the costs of the suit in
case they lose. The measure may be
opposed on the ground that a person
might have grounds for a libel suit
who could not give security for the
costs. On the other hand, frivolous
suits are commenced on chance, the
newspaper exposed to considerable eX-
pense on its own account and a part
of the costs of the court costs. The
shyster lawyer appears to be as ac-
tive in London as in American cities.
They read the newspapers with view
not to the improvement of their mind,
but to discover a paragraph which can
be construed as libelous. Then they
hunt up the person who was the sub.
iect of the remark and strive to con-
vince him that an irreparable injury
has been done to his reputation. The
victim is assured that the suit will
cost him nothing and that a "divvy'
will be made in the event of success
The, newspaper, of course, defendssthe
action, probably wins the case, but
discovers that its victory has cost il
dearly. In most eases neither the
shyster who brought the suit nor tn,
person in whose name it was brough
is responsible in a suit for damages.

 Miss Nell McEwen is playing the difficult role of Flora May Randolph in aThe New Dominion, and her work has been greatly admired wherever she has appeared. Miss McEwen is a Memphis girl, and comes of an old and distinguished Tennessee family. She was born in Memphis, aud until she entered the professional duties of the stage re- sided in this city. She was at one time the pupil of Mss Grace Lewel. lyn and was greatly admired. Miss McEwen's work is artistic and sweetly simple. and an admirer can be found in every one who has seen her. She was the recipient of sew eral bouquets, which were passed across the footlights between the third and fourth acts. Among the many persons that witnessed the performance last night it was notic- ed that tears flowed as frequently as laughter was apparent, and often the audience laughed with teals in it's eyes. Pathos, comedy and trag edy were mingled into one, and they were untangled only at the end of the last act.
