eHAUF KING. /"

Francis Wilson has never had a
better vehicle for the display OF his
merry-maldng than Half a King"
The dr0lieries which made him ire
sistible in the MERRY Monarch" sew
eral years ago are accentuated and
magniied in "Half a King" His un-
faggine good spirits, his wit in dia-
Iogue, his buffoonery, his weird at
tempts at song with a voice that never
knew music, his pranks and capers and
his que srly shaped legs-all these add
to make a laughable entertainment.
"Half q King" like most OF Mr.. Will
sons former successes, Is from a
French origin, the Anglicized libretto
being by the brightest Of American
writer's. Harry B. Smith. The lines
sparkle with wit, there is plenty OF
originality in the handling, while the
lyrics convey a pretty sentiment that

Patriotic utterances by all ages, by

willingness to follow Old Glory wheth-

FRIENDs Appeal ron PEACE.

To President Mckinley: We,
members of the Monthly Meeting OF
the Religious Society of Friends, held
at SwarthmOre, Pa, believe that, what
ever may have been permitted in the
earlier history of the human race now,
since the introduction OF the New Dis
pensation, by the coming Of Jesus
Christ, our Divine Master and Teacher,
all wars. both offensive and defensive,
are in direct violation of the religion
which he taught, and are wholly in
| consistent with Christianity, as we un-
derstand it.
Thus believing, we rejoice in the at
titude Of our honored president, VIII
| liam Mckinley, in these trying times,
| and we would most earnestly entreat
| him to continue his peaceful policy
and do all in his power toward hav-
| ing the present difficulties settled by
| arbitration or other peaceful means.
| Whatever may be the outcome OF the
| sad and most deplorable condition Of
affairs in Cuba, we sincerely trust that
all appeals to the Spanish people will
be made to their reason, their sense
OF Justice, their religious obligations
and their humanity.
| We believe that earnest remon-
STRANGE against the horrors enacted in
Cuba, accompanied by like remOn-
strances on the part OF the three lead
ing European nations. England France
and Germany. would go far at this
time toward the introduction OF a long
reign OF peace. When religion and hui
1 manity unite in urging this course, and
when the expenses for war and war
like preparations are more than sufii-
l Ill oil frfI ~frsfa ~
tions on a firm foundation, if turned
into peaceful channels. there would
| seem to be every reason why a strong
effort should be made to check the
| progress Of the war spirit, and to pass
on from this primitive, barbarous and
animal method OF settling differences
to methods more in accordance with
the advancing spirit Of the age.
It would seem especially appropri-
ate that the members OF a religious so
ciety which has since It's origin, more
| than two and a half centuries ago
borne its testimony against war, shoult
now unite in expressing their cordia
! approval of the action Of our president
who, Notwithstanding the constant
pressure brought to bear upon him
firmly and persistently resists a re
sort to war. We would. therefore, say
to thee President William Mckinley
continue firm in the path which thor
; hast chosen. In doing this, we fee
that thou will-tO quote thy own Ian
g1age in a recent address in Philadel
phia-depend upon Him who presides
in the councils of nations, and whOsl
DrOvidential aid can supply every de
) feet. It is His benediction which w
most want and which can and viii
