At the Margaret "The Mysterious Mr.
Bugle" VIII Appear.

At the Margaret "The Mysterious Mr.
Bugle" Will appear.
THE Mysterious Mr.. Bugle,' a play
that has been very much talked of in
the various exchanges sine its notable
success at the New York Lyceum thea
ter, will have its first production here
at the Margaret theater tonight. The
play is described as a farce and it is
the work of Madeleine Lucette Ryley,
who has written many very successful
plays in the last few years.
In The Mysterious Mr.. Bugle" there
is no attempt at sentiment or anything
in the nature of a serious story. the au-
thor's sole aim being to amuse. For
this reason IL is called a farce, though
il is said to be written in the spirit of
high comedy and to appeal to those who
see more to laugh at in witty than silly
things. The humor of the play is
evolved from the white lies of one Betty
Fondacre and the unreasonable jeal-
ousy of her fiance, Tom Pollinger. Tom,
having a wealthy but eccentric grand
mother to propitiate. persuades Betty to
keep her engagement to him a secret,
and. being Of a jealous nature, he
makes Betty pretend that she is a mar
ried m In order that would-be
suitors be kept at bay. They agree she
shall call herself Mrs. Bugle. a name
they choose at random. This situation
causes Betty to tell n number of
harmless fibs, which involve her in end
less difficulties, one of which makes her
cousin. Allan Pondacre, conclude that
Tom Pollinger Is In owe with Betty's
sister Julia, which discovery he confides
to Betty. Outraged at her lovers du-
plicity. Betty revenges herself by tell
ing Tom there really is a Mr.. Bugle
and that what he has supposed was a
sham is a reality. This brings matters
up to ice pitch and the latter part
of h play concerns Toms jealous
anxiety concerning the mythical Mr..
Bugle. who is not entirely accounted for
until the final curtain rings down.
The company that will present the
play, with but one or two changes, is
the same as seen during it's long run at
the New York Lyceum theater The
cast is still headed by Joseph Holland.
whose ability as a comedian and far
ceur is too well known to need much
comment. Other important members of
the cast are Miss Gretchen Lyons. Wi
mona Shannon. Agnes Findlay, Edgar
Morton. Charles Collins and Lucius
Henderson.

The Anaconda Church Review, a
weekly publication devoted to the in
terests of the local Protestant churches,
in its issue Of last Saturday printed the
following as an EDITORIAL:
Perhaps the smallest and most con-
temptible thing. the thing so small
that h ungodly would sneer at, and
count itself better than; the thing
most ungodly and un-Christianlike, is
and damnable spirit OF PROSECUTING,
found in some sections to-day-sheep-
stealing. as II Is called. Christ spoke
to a people who. I'm his day, encom-
passed sea and land to make one prose-
lyte.' Look at this, for instance: A
very large-hearted and liberal-minded
pastor lays himself out in personal
financial ability in order to obtain the
services of a well-known evangelist.
After he comes. this pastor personally
invites all pastors IN churches to
come in and take part in the services
and share the fruits. At the close of
the meeting IL is found that a larger
number have given their names to
the various pastors and churches than
they have received for years. The pas
tor who secured the evangelist. on ac-
OF hard work. takes a vacation of
a few weeks. after seeing all those who
had united with his church. In his alb
sence these other pastors n people
step entirely over the line of fraternal
integrity. and by schemes entirely I'M
worthy even a Chinaman or a Spaniard,
bring influences to bear to rob the
broad-minded minister and liberal pas
tor of the fruits OF his labors. What
do you call that? What does the vilest
sinner call it?'

Criticism ofour Suffrage Plan.

In spite OF the excitement caused by the
talk of wal with Spain quite a number
of the leading newspapers OF the coun-
/ try have found time to study the sui
frage ordinance adopted by the Consti-
tutional Convention Of this State, and
we have observed that section 5 of the
ordinance which was forced upon the
Convention by certain political leaders
against the warning and advice of our
two United States Senators, has evoked
comment which is as pungent as it is
unfavorable.
The Washington Post, which. as a
general thing mauifests a fail and kind
ly spirit in discussing southern affairs,
makes the following vigorous attack on
section s of the new suffrage plan:
ut is difficult to imagine Il more mon
strous outrage than that by which the
Louisiana Convention proposes to con-
fer the right of suffrage upon the male
descendants of all the whites who could
have voted in 1857" while they extin-
guished practically the entire negro vote
by educational and other prohlbitory
tests. The negroes are better, more in
telllgent and more conservative voters
then the worthless foreign riff raft who
swarm in New Orleans slums, and yet a

the latter.
1--WE fancy, however, that the Louis
lana machine regulars have not heard
the last of this Aecious enterprise of
theirs. 1t will r. the sacred duty of
every member of he next Congress to
object to the install ment of those elect
ed under the infaI gus auspices of such
suffrage regulations. and to keep the
Louisiana delegations in the lobby until
the State abandons its abominable
ways"
At the time of the adoption of the or
dinance the States expressed the fear
that it would not only cause serious di-
vision in the ranks Mthe Democratic
party in Louisiana, bnt upon the meet
ing of the next Congress the constitu-
tionality of the act would be tested. 1t
is quite probable that the Republicans in
this State and at Washington will take
the cue from the editorial in the Wash
iDgton Post and make a determined ef-
fort to have the suffrage plan declared
unconstitutional by the courts.-States.

DOWN ON THE cUBANs.

We hear great deal these days about
the failure of the Cuban troops to fight.
Yesterdays Washington Post had a car
toon representing Uncle Sans big wagon
Of supplies and provisions surrounded
by Cubans, with this inscription, "Where
the Cuban troops fought gloriously.'
We went to war because these men
were being starved to death. 1t will
be well to give them enough to eat and
give them arms before expecting them
to fight in kind of warfare to which
they are not accustomed.
Although we went to war under solemn
pledge not to annex Cuba, there is Il
strong sentiment now in favor of an
nexation. If it can be shown that the
Cubans did not measure up to their
duty, the annexationists will have Il
powerful argument. See!
