The Kansas City Times says of the re-

week Given one of the wittlest plays
from the pen of the always entertaining
Charles H. Hoyt, and company OF people
all of whom are good. and many OF Wnom

is no apparent reason why the producnoh
should not be a successful one III .i0
main the faces which are seen in "A
Contented Woman this season are the
same as those of last year, although the
performance as a whole is a stronger one
Those who were best in last years COM
many have been retained, while ali the
changes are decidedly for the better.
Belle Archer that handsome woman who
is so well fitted to write a book on HAND
some Gowns and How to Wear Them is
still seen as Grace Holmes, the fond wife,
who finds herself forced to accept the
nomination for mayor of Denver, and who
no only runs against, but defeats her hus-
hand in the race. Although Miss Archer
a.wavs played the part in the most pleas
ing manner, she has even improved on her
past performances, and she brings out all
there is in the character, in addition to
being always a delight to the eye. Miss
Henrietta Lee, in personal attractions and
q bility as an actress a worthy companion
for Miss Archer, continues to appear as
Mrs Ebb-Smith, who is considered no
torious. There is a new Aunt Jim, in the
person of Fannie Derham Rouse, who
gives an excellent and humorous interpre-
tation of the character of the leader of the
equal suffrage movement. Miss Bonnie
Lottie comes back as the maid, and is as
vlvacious as ever.
Arthur Buchanan, who is cast for the
part of Benton Holmes, proves that the
choice was well made.
Charles P. Morrison, who played Uncle
Tody last season, is now seen as Cutting
Hintz. the sarcastic brother, and he puts
an unexpected amount of life into the
part while Arthur Gregory, the new Uncle
Tody, fills the part to nicely. All of the
others are such good actors that there Is
not a weak spot in the cast
The specalres which are introduced are
or character TO satisfy those who are
fond of those things. Bonnie Ilottie, one
of the most agile and graceful dancers on
the stage. arouses much enthusiasm
while the songs rendered by Miss Lee and
Mr.. Morrison. the latter of whom sings
clever parodies of his own composition. are
worthy of all the applause they receive.

Sullivan Dam Question Decid-

INJUNCTION a FORMALITY
Judge Dale Gives Opinion
That Settles 1t.

The long legal dispute over the dam
question between the city of Wichita and
Arthur Sullivan has virtually been de-
cided in the city's favor, looking at it
from legal standpoint. The case con-
sumed several days in the district court
and was contested very ably by counsel
on both sides. City Attorney Adams, as
sisted by Judge Campbell for the city,
and James Comfy and Judge Ruggles for
Sullivan.
Testimony, backed up by authorities
were cited by both sides, and great deal
of documentary evidence was introduced
The case was watched very closely by
many members of the bar, as the legal
talent of all the attorneys connected with
the case was brought into play, and the
decision of Judge Dale would be accepted
as final disposition of the legal
standing Of either side should it become
necessary to try the case after the injunc-
ton proceedings were determined by an
opinion delivered from the bench. AT the
termination of the case the court room
was filled with spectators and lawyers 10

stated that he was of the opinion that
the city's contention as to the right TO
rebuild and maintain the dam and aque-

right but that owing to the large num-
Der of intricate legal questions involved
he would grant the temporary writ IN
order that Sullivan might protect WhaI-
ever interests he may have in the prop

It is the general opinion of a large num-

in biology in New England. On the per
soma. recommendation of DR.. Bumpus 10
the authorities of Paramount college, he
was appointed professor of biology and
natural science in this institution, and as
such his name appears in the college cata-
loglle for 1867. Just before the fall term
for 1896 began. Mr.. Barlow succumbed 10
complete nervous prostration, and at COM
mand OF his physician resigned. His place
was at once filed by Mr.. S. II. Burnett,
and now, by the resignation OF Mr.. Bur

for which he was designated more than
two years ago.
For year Mr.. Barlow did little intel
,ectual work. BY living much in the open
air and working on the farm on which ne
had been raised he gradually recovered
his normal health and vigor. He is an
enthusiastic and indomitable worker in
his chosen pursuit. During the last year
he has been teaching and conducting BIZ

THE FIRST AND GREATEST NAVAL
LESSON OF THE WAR

THE FIRST AND GREATEST NAVAL
LESSON OF THE WAR
1t is, then the first and greatest lesson
of this war that good ships and guns are
useless If there are not good officers, en-
gfneers and seamen to work the ships and
god gunners to lay the guns. Farragut's
wise saying. that the best defense against
the enemy is a wei! directed fire from our
own guns is triumphantly indicated. It
is an extraordinary fact that the Spanish
government, while purchasing or building
the ships, took no steps to train the men
Unlike the great navies of Europe-British,
French, Russian, German and Italian-the
Spanish navy has neglected maneuvres in
peace. We search in vain for any sign OF
that incessant drilling upon the sea which
has made the American, British and French
fleets so formidable. Encyclopaedia. which
in these three navies and the German has
received the utmost possible attention, was
similarly overlooked There are tales. true
or untrue, that the ammunition issued to
Spanish shipe never expended. Spanish
vessels, indeed. presented a fine appear
ance at Kiel, Spithead, and the Columbian
review. but an imposing exterior is moth
ing in war. The neglect Of battle-training
has terribly avenged itself.
The explanation OF this neglect may be
found in several directions-in national OBJ
stinacy, which imagined that the Spaniard
was in courage the superior of every for
eigper, and that naval war was a mere
matter Of luck and pluck; in corruption.
which diverted from their proper aim sums
voted for the navy; and in national power
". which could not support the heavy cost
OF an adequate feet. 1t is fairly obvious
fact that five ships with trained crews are
better than ten ships with unframed men
But the imbecile mismanagement Of Spain
during the war renders it probable that
her rulers had not grasped even this tru-
isn't HsTpers)
