"David Ga,rick" at the Aca,

''Davf0 OoIfhck NJ tDe Ac00emys
The warm reception accorded Mr.. James
Youngs Claude Melnotte on Monday eve-
ming was again noticed last night at the
Academy when the young actor changed
his bill for David Garrick" While 1t
can hardly be said that the impersona-
tion WED with the majority of others that
have been seen here recently. 1t is true
that the promise Mr.. Young displayed in
his previous portrayal continued in the
more difficult one. 1t is long stretch
from '"The Lady of Lyons to David
Garrick." especially when the latter Is as
broadly played as 1t was last night, and
Mr.. Young did not show much versatility
in making the distance. His stronger
scenes were more forced than forceful;
his longer speeches either elocutionary
or stacy, and the entire characterization
lacked in the requirement of training and
study. In his favor. however, 1t must be
confessed that Mr.. Young's assumption
of the title role was dignihed and ear
nest effort, entirely worthy of the sensi-
tive temperament and high talents of
which he has shown himself possessed.
The drunken scene was admirably done.

hardly convincing. Ada Ingot, while the

Mr.. Willard accomplished the work in an
excellent manner and destroyed the gov

brought on board the Spanish flag, to-

The Pride Of Spain.
(From The kansas City Star. ]

The opinion. said to be entertained By Senator
Chandler and other Congressman. that the pride
OF Spain is such that she will continue the war
with the United States after the latter has cap
tured all her colonial possessions and make it
necessary for the United States to invade Spain
ITSELF seems to be based on no adequate histor-
ical foundation. The pride Of Spain is largely q
matter of talk, and the honor Of Spain is a ic-
tion Ct the imagination. Within the present CEN
tury Spain has had occasion to acknowledge her
self whipped oftener than say other European
nation. 1t may be reasonably believed that
when Spain gets enough vocal fntimation will
be heard to that effect, and that the word will
come long before the need Of repetition
by the United ststes OF the oft-repeated conquer
ing march to Madrid.

PLAGUE OF LEGlsL AToRs.
Why Some Of the States Once Had two

Why Some Of the States Once Had TWO
Capitals.
Baton Rouge freely translated means
resl tick. That is the limit Of my nm
Outstanding Of the affair, however. Il
is aFquaint1 old town, consisting chiefly
Of river. When studied geography
several decades ago, I knew that Louisi-
ana had two capitals, one at New Or
leans and the other at Baton Rouge.
They, have got. tired Of entertaining
legislators at New Orleans Of late years
and have unloaded the whole job upon
the smaller and more nearly defenseless
city. .s..
/ Looking back to those old days, re-
call that Louisiana was one Of the very
few states which required two vents for
their legislatures. Connecticut was one,
with Hartford and New Haven as cap
itals, and Rhode Island, the smallest Of
states, was another, with Providence
and Newport. Of late years there has
been sort Of Capitalization of capitals.
The fashion Of having one at every en-
terprising city in a state has fallen into
disuse. You might tramp all over any
Of the states nowadays and not run the
risk Of laundering into legislature in
full blast where it might have been
least expected. I asked the Pocatello
man what he thought was there
for the wealth of capitals in earlier
times.
''In those days. he said, 'tthe states
were young and tender and had not
fully developed their muscle and their
power of resisting great assaults. It
was therefore to distribute the evil of
legislature sitting over great deal of
country so as not to give any particular
city the worst Of it. AS time went on
and town showed especial hardihood
and ability to stand great calamity the
legislature was switched upon it as a
perpetual and permanent institution.
New Orleans and Newport and other
towns which in other days were capitals
had the good luck to draw two aces and
to win out, sending the legislature in
the one instance to Baton Rouge and in
the other to Providence It takes game
town to stand persistent plague of
legislature. ''-Chicago Record.

the MOHAMMEDANS

Tho Queer Manner In which They Mix
Up Religion and Murder.
The month Of Ramadan, in which the
first part of the Koran is said to have
been revealed, is observed as 8 fast by
all Mohammedans. The fast extends
over the whole month Of raging heat !,
and involves extraord binary self denial
and self control. No food or drink Of
any kind may be taken from daybreak
until the appearance Of the stars at
nightfall.
The rigor with which q Mohammedan
observes this fast and the great gulf be-
tween its observance and obedience to
the moral code are both illustrated BY
story told in the life Of one of the he
roes Of India, Major John Nicholson.
While Nicholson in 1854 was deputy
commissioner in Bannu, a native killed
his brother and was arrested. He was
brought before Nicholson on very hot
evening, looking parched and exhausted,
for he had walked many miles, and it
was the month of Ramadan.
Why, exclaimed Nicholson, els it
possible that you have walked in fast
ing on day like this?''
Thank God" answered the Ban
nuchi, am good faster
Why did you kill your brother?''
st saw fowl killed last night, and
the sight of the blood put the devil in
to me. - @
He had chopped up his brother,
stood long chase and been marched in
here, but he was keeping the fast, -
wrote the commissioners to friend, that
he might know what sort of blood
thirsty and bigoted people he, Nichol-
son, had to govern.
One day wretched little child was
brought before the commissioner. He
had been ordered by his relatives Of the
Waziri tribe to poison food
Dom you know it is wrong to kill
people?" asked Nicholson.
-. - I know it is wrong to kill with a
knife Or sword" answered the child.
s'Why?'' ILLS f.
Because the blood leaves Marks
answered the trained poisoner.
A Pathan chief, who fell by Nichol-
sons side in skirmish, left little son,
upon whom the English officer lavished
care and attention. One day the 7-year-
old boy asked his protector to grant him
special favor. j - NJ.
"Tell me first what you want. -
"Only your permission, sahib, to go
and kill my cousins, the children of
your and my deadly enemy, my uncle,
Faltri Khan" r..
ITO kill your cousins?'' exclaimed the
Englishman, Mortified at the answer.
eyes, sahib, to kill all the boys while
they are young It is quite easy now. -
"You little monster! Would you
murder your own cousins?''
Yes, sahib, for if don't they will
certainly murder me-
The little boy wished to follow Pa
than usage and thought it very hard
that his guardian should prevent his
taking SO simple precaution.
